eventually the monitor bites the boy twice and forces him off the bus in a full nelson hold. tonight that bus monitor is out of a job. and facing child abuse charges. >> that's insanity mo to me but biting is too much. what goes up must come down at least in the case of one police communications tower in virginia. there's what's left. the landmark had been built back in 1955 and had to be knocked down though because it doesn't meet the codes for new antennas on top of the tower. the brand new tower will provide voice and data communications not only for police but for 22 other state agencies. i was hoping we'd see it falling. >> yeah. yeah. all right, a visit to a corn maze turned into a nightmare that one massachusetts family is not going to forget anytime soon. the couple from everett along with their 5-year-old and their newborn apparently got lost in a giant dark maze. they panicked and of course ended up calling 911.

biggest threats were the heavy rains, the mudslides and wind really weren't that bad. again just a tropical storm moving ashore. there's still a couple more severe thunderstorms out in the pacific but the atlantic is quiet and derek and i were just talking. we had about 16 storms which year which is about what everybody thought. the real key is it going to make landfall and only three of the four make landfall. two were tropical storms to the gulf of mexico and hurricane irene barely made landfall. we were lucky. all right, live doppler 9000 hd, still some like active. seeing heavier activity south of town on the east side of 95 and headed actually over to charles county. that's why we're keeping the chance of a thunderstorm in tonight but most of the activity is going to be light. really the concentrated area of rain is already past baltimore and up 95. we'll widen the radar out. still find some showers back to the south and west. this is the one thing we look at what's south of us when we're in this pattern where

everything is moving north northeast. charlotte area and richmond and not out of the woods for showers just yet. temperatures not that bad. i mean cooler than yesterday. but 66 downtown. 64 in manassas. 66 in fredericksburg, not too bad. 57 in frederick. a little cooler up to hagerstown. temperatures in the upper 50s and hagueersburg and martinsville and cumberland. a wet evening commute. there are now some leaves beginning to fall. showers will diminish tonight and still run the risk of a shower or thunderstorm both tomorrow and but again nothing
