and he said he doesn't like hospitals and could not be combined to go and get checked out. >> and this is still causing a lot of headaches to everyone who lives there, with trucks and cars driving through the flooded streets caused wakes that caused water to surge into some homes. >> perhaps they should come out and stand and see. i don't know how they could not know they with their vehicle and it's not so bad now but at its worst it was pushing it up further and we didn't know how far it was going to go. >> the water for the most part has gone down in shore acres. the mayor said he has asked for help from the governor and federal government in the past but has not had a response.

end, and florida plays the umass minutemen, and could be showers especially early in the game, and imagine boards with logos on it, but we'll do that next week. but first things first. we somehow always find a way to squeeze in a decent sunset. we say good bye to the tropical nice sky, very late in the day, and this is scott haines in clearwater, but notice that the gulf is still choppy with waveaction, and from jennifer muller, a nice little blue and pink c combo special from downtn tampa this evening.

still along feeder band strung r the state, and we have lost the heating for today, but once in a while with a west-southwest wind there could be showers and thunderstormthunderstorms bumpie utonight, the models are still pretty aggressive predicting that, and so we'll watch but i would not be on tonight there are showers and thunderstorms bumping on shore, and even tomorrow. we wrapped up august on a very wet note. 12.71 for the month. 7.77 is the average. it's been kind of a whacky rainy season. afternoon thunderstorm activity, meh! kind of so, so, but these storms

for 48.87 and if it doesn't rain another drop for the year, we'll still be above last year. rainfall from the storm going back to wednesday, this is incredible. 22.36, and largo, 16.11. almost a baker's dozen in dunedin and the airport had and tia6.83. that is a lot of rain in a couple of days. here was invest 9 99l. we were tracking from this day one. you know that because you heard a lot about it. seemed like it was never going to get going and then finally in the gulf conditions were more conducive to development and this is why we are so concerned

our way, look at this little hook. if you imagine if it was more pronounced and heading east. think it was bad from a hurricane 200 miles west of us? imagine that hurricane making landfall in pasco or hernando, that would be c catastrophic, en at a cat 1. this storm is going to cause it is literally going to spin off of the midco midco mi midatt line, and this is the ultimate spaghetti model, one was back here and this one like this. the escape route out of the northeast breaks down because of the blocking eye, and it could

back to new jersey next week, that is a possibility. 80, dewpoint 76 and a south wind at 8. the rest of tonight? a couple of showers or thundershowers would roll in off of the gulf but not many, and tomorrow, 78. variably cloudy and clouds and sun, but still very soupy, we stay in the mid 80's and more sun, and fewer thunderstorms and that tend should continue on labor day as seven-day forecast, and next week there is actually zero signs of tropical trouble heading our way for the next seven to ten days. >> all right yay, thank you, paul. >> and some of the most memorable moments of hermine came from you. >> we appreciate all of it and

what they say happened to mr. riggins. >> tensions raising following the shooting death of a black man. >> it's not okay. nobody out here means nobody no harm. >> riggins was shot one by deputy cabeb johnson, a seven-year veteran. >> this occurring when deputies were treatmenting to purchase narcotics from street dealers. >> i believe there has been a certain level of transparency that has gotten out earlier than elsewhere in the county, and we should build on that.

guys from him, he refused to come out of the bedroom. >> and he jumped up and moves his hands suddenly to his waist band and the deputy fires. >> no weapons or ever found, and that is when the protests started. it's led to at least five arrests. >> people are high-fiving each other after they murdered this boy. yes, we are angry and upset. >> and nation-wide tensions are hitting close to home. >> if you perceive me as a threat, is it my clothe? my hair? my hat? i don't understand that, and until we get some answers i don't know what to tell you.

street you see hundreds of people gathering for this protest. we do know the state attorney's office will determine if the deputy's actions were justified or not, but many of these people are calling for his arrest. riggins was shot only one and in the upper body and not in the back as many of the folks here believe. and the sherriff's office did not allow their press conference which is pretty uncommon. and came we were not, which is causing these folks to ask even more questions about what happened, and one other thing, mark, you want to point out. you see a jeep that is crashed near that dollar general, that happened an hour or so ago. not sure if it's related to what happened but we looked up and that car had crashed. no one injured and we know at

hospital but no serious injuries. a chaotic and wild scene out here that is likely to carry on into the early morning hours. >> and i know every single one of these cases is different in its own right, but i just wanted to ask is there any body or dash camera video of what happened? >> mark, we asked about body cameras. the sherriff's office does not have body cameras and so there is no body camera video, and again the state attorney's office will be reviewing the case to determine if the shooting is justified. >> josh, thanks. >> we also have a sad update after an elderly man is beaten, rrobbed and left unconscious in his back yard.
