1:01 am

>>man: the subtly of how it feels and the grade of paper and all that. those are all tell tale signs. >>reporter: mark acted on his suspicions, demanding they go inside to the registers to get a money pen. >>man: the money pen distinguished it was real. >>reporter: he noticed later the serial number was the same on any bill. police say be careful who you agree to meet and more importantly where you >>man: if you go to one of our offerses and do the transaction there, i would like to think it's unlikely that someone is going to try to rip you off in front of police officers. >>reporter: mark says he probably won't be offering up any of his items for sale any time soon. >>man: i already got scammed once before. this put me to the edge not to use it anymore. >>reporter: tampa police are working to get ahold of the surveillance video from inside
1:03 am
they're asking anyone who may have information to give them a call. >> crystal, thanks. it is official now, nontravel related zika has arrived in the bay area. state health officials confirmed a case in pinellas county, they're being vague about how the person may have gotten it. the governor is insisting there is no areas of what he calls active transmission in this area. haley is taking a how you can protect yourself from the virus. evan is going to explain what it means to have a locally acquired case but not through active transmission. >>reporter: right now it means they have not found more people or more mosquitos that have zika rather than just the person who has been identified as having it and getting it from here. it's a single case from a
1:04 am
to figure out right now. the governor and state surgeon general are retracing the woman's steps, testing her relatives, and speaking with her co-workers to find out how it happened. the governor says the only places of active transmission are in south florida. the state says there are 620 cases of zika statewide, 70 them amongst pregnant women. in tampa bay, there are 52 total cases. >>woman: when we're investigating a single case, we don't give more specific detail. if we don't find additional cases, there's no increase risk to the public. >>man: we've been able to deal with other mosquito borne viruss. if we're all aggressive in what we do in our lives, we can beat this just like the others. >>reporter: the governor, who
1:05 am
says the area of active transmission in miami has been cut in half from a square mile to a square half mile. the university of florida is projecting 400 nontravel related cases by the end of the summer. we have received information that the governor is going to be holding a round table in hills boro county with health officials tomorrow morning at we don't know exactly how the pinellas case was contracted or transmitted but we know this. zika is not just a problem in south florida anymore. more than ever, it's critical for people here to take the preventive measures seriously. we're live at tampa general hospital with what doctors are telling pregnant women in this area now. that's got to be a huge concern. >>reporter: yeah, today's announcement definitely hit home with a lot of pregnant women in
1:06 am
they want to know how this case could effect their pregnancies. they're advising pregnant women to try to stay indoors or screened in areas, wear bug repellant outside, and spray clothing. this advice goes for anyone. zika tests are being offered to pregnant women for free. doctors are currently only testing patients who have travelled to knonown zika that testing could increase if this becomes an area of known transmission. this advice is especially important to dr. mary cane. she's pregnant herself. >>woman: i've been using decontaining insect repellants and trying to avoid mosquitos but it strikes a little hunger when you think think can actually happen. i think a lot of pregnant women are feeling that way today.
1:07 am
pregnant, it's still just as important to be careful. yes, it is hot here in florida but officials say long sleeves and long pants are a good idea. if you've travelled to a known zika area and are sexually active, consider using condoms for at least 8 weeks. keep checking your yards for standing water. it's not just outside, dr. cane says those zika carrying mosquitos can actually live you may have that are filled with water, they can be breeding grounds, too. >> yeah, thank you, haley. this is definitely making all of us look at mosquitos as more than a pest. deputies have released new video of a suspect that car jacked a woman.

1:16 am
and only about 8 miles under the ground or from the surface. that's why the damage was pretty extensive. today had a northeast wind all day and thunder storms firing up very late in the day. looks pretty benign here but watch what happens. the winds start picking up as the storms increase in the distance. very heavy rain goes by and then eventually a pretty good sunset shows up briefly right around there. that's a pretty cool the day. satellite radar composite shows a pretty good northeast wind today. because of that, high pressure over us, the heat was really on. temperatures were incredible today, including a 99, an official high in sarasota. broke the record high of 96. 95 today in tampa. showers moving offshore. 99 in sarasota, 90 in st. pete,
1:17 am
lake land, it's been a tough summer. with the lack of rain mostly, feel like many daysit's been a struggle to get any significant rain. temperatures are hot. temperatures are now cool because of the rain in the 70s and low 80s. we're watching invest 99 l. it may strengthen over the waters of bahamas. flora happen for five or six days. that's not a sure thing. we have to wait and see how the models play out. it would be the first time a hurricane has hit florida since way back in 2005. if memory is right, there's been about 66 hurricanes in the atlantic since wilma hit florida back in october of 2005 and none of those 66 have made land fall in florida. northeast winds across our state.
1:18 am
watching just a general area of low pressure, moving over some fairly dry air. this has been a struggle today to get going and even tomorrow, does not look like it's going to be much. here's the dry air in red. the models do indicate the environment improving for tropical development in a day or two if the storm will kind of get to the northwest -- hopefully it's broken up by the mountains of puerto rico. there's invest 99 l. it's called an invest because it's being investigated. you have the potential track moving over the bahamas and potentially getting into the gulf of mexico. it's all about the blocking eye over the carolinas. that high should stay strong so anything that slides north of cuba will likely bend to the west and northwest that's why there's significant concern to florida.
1:19 am
tomorrow. tonight, becoming clear and we're down to 78. sunshine tomorrow morning, afternoon storms. at least 92 for a high. maybe 94/95. same thing on thursday. the 7-day forecast hinges on what happens with invest 99 l. dave will talk more about that tomorrow morning. back to you guys. >> paul, thanks. the mayor in italy saying residents debris and the town isn't there anymore. >> we're looking at photos on twitter and showing quite a bit of rubble and debris. certainly a story we'll be following. good day with the latest at 4:00 a.m. if you're a car lover, how does 0-60 in less than three seconds sound? >> making its cars one of the fastest in the world.
1:20 am
twitter and showing quite a bit

1:23 am
>> let's explain what this is though. we can expect to see many of trump supporters there but probably none like this. a guy by the name of sean from st. pete got a tattoo of trump's face right on his leg. the big tattoo. sean says he wanted a patriotic tattoo and he says there's nothing more patriotic than trump. the tattoo took said it's all worth it. >>man: josh is so good at the tattoos. didn't hurt. >>man: even if he loses the election, you have a tattoo of an american icon. we use his name to represent power and wealth. >> how about that. the tattoo was done on sun coast tattoos. he said he would tattoo hillary clinton as well.

much like last week's first joint practice in jacksonville, today's first joint with the browns was not up to liking thatjamis winongohep. ne better. >>man: w i'm only side of theel wd, i we haverain of salt, wkwork. >> he's not the only kicker to miss preseason field goals, six other kickers have missed as well. but he was obviously struggling as well. another reason to be thankful
1:28 am
continued. it's clearly something his coachs and teammates are noticing but have decided to rally around him. >>man: who better than me to go talk to him about being drafted and being expected to be the guy right away? you know what i'm saying. especially with me, struggling the way i did early on, injuries, not living up to expectations, who better to go talk to? i say listen, stay the course. >> well, the rays are thought to be one teams to show case he's working out before the scouts hoping to get signed by the team and pursue the sport he hasn't played since high school. rays, red sox, i suppose you never know.
1:29 am
in the third. red sox take a 1-0 lead. and high chopper over brad millers head. around second going to third. attempts the throw to third and this pass longoria. david ortiz goes from first to home. he's winded. 2-0 red sox. kevin, the liner -- comes on not much offense for either team tonight. a combined 25 strikeouts between the two clubs. rays fall 2-1 is your final. that's sports. that's going to do it for us tonight. money, power, politics coming up next. good day starting at 4:00 a.m. have a great night,
