foreigns for george zimmerman are going to seek a stay on your ground hearing. the neighborhood watch volunteer said that he did shoot the 17-year-old back in february in self-defense. florida's stand your ground law allows you to do that instead of retreating if they believe that their lives are in danger. as of now, zimmerman is free on $1 million bond.

well, we've got a disturbing story out of delaware for you tonight. a prominent georgetown pediatrician and his wife are now accused of water boarding their daughter. >> it's hard to get your brainaround that. the 121-year-old girl said that -- the 11-year-old said that it happened as punishment. >> i have intervied 100 -- interviewed over 100 children who have a lack amount of oxygen to their brain. >> reporter: now his 11-year- old daughter tells authorities that he used a technique on her that stimulates drowning. allegedly holding her face under a running faucet as water shot up her nose. she claims she was being punished, but did not know why

and that it happened at least four times over two years. now both husband and wife are under arrest charged with conspiracy and dangering the life of a child. authorities were first called to the home in july when morse was accused of grabbing his 11- year-old, dragging her across a gravel driveway and spanking her. the doctor was charged with third-degree assault in that case, but not convicted yet of anything. but the alleged mistreatment is a hot topic acing among neighbors. >> if there is a form of punishment, then punish a child, but don't torture a child. >> going overboard, trying to drown the kid. that's too far. in any opinion he should be locked up. >> reporter: an attorney has

not respond to a request for comment. according to documents obtained by the delaware news child, she said that she could go five minutes without brain damage, fearing that her father would lose track of time while holding her under the water. >> thank you, lesli. now the tornado thing has calmed down. >> they have canceled it. >> but now we're worried about hurricanes? >> yes, the hurricane center has come out with a revised forecast. and it is kind of unusual. they upped a little bit, 9 to 15 storms back in may, meaning tropical storms or hurricanes. four to eight would be a hurricane. the average is six. and one to three would have become a major hurricane with winds up to 111 miles per hour or higher. the new one is now a 12 to 17- name storm. five days expected too become

hurricanes and two to three becoming a category three with winds at 111 or higher. we thought that el nino might begin to develop and take these numbers down. they will not develop until after hurricane season, can which will run through november. so that's why the increase. but we now have a new warning out to the north and east of us towards baltimore into northeastern maryland. but these are the warnings that have been topped on the maryland side. we'll zoom into these storms. even though that you're not under it anymore and even washington county, you'll start to see the heavy rain. where will these storms go in the next hour? very slowly off to the north and the east and more heavy rain and storms for our friends

up in pennsylvania and we'll probably see the warning extended there. but right now west of i-81. most of us had get home in the immediate metro area with a dry commute. you can see the lightning strikes right there, just popping up with the past storm right around baltimore. i think that the atmosphere will be on the unstable side. a live look outside. this is the live weather cam. 94 for you. dew point at 64, which is not crazy bad actually. 37%. winds out of the south at 10. 94 at great falls and 94 also at college park. so the headlines will go like this. big storm is possible on friday. isolated storms on saturday. better chance, showers linger on saturday. but that's the good news. a less humid weekend. that's really good news. for tonight, isolated

thunderstorms. winds are out of the south at 10. for now, it will be a code yellow. we'll keep youested. thunderstorms again tomorrow, 89. morning showers on saturday and less humid. next seven days, temps go up just a little bit, but nothing too hot. going back up to 90 as we get into monday, tuesday, isolated storm is possible. we'll keep thursday, wednesday and thursday dry, with temperatures in the low 90s. >> all right. >> it's not looking good. but a reminder that this is the water spout. over in calvert county just a couple of weeks ago. this is actually shooting here from the west side of the bay towards the east side of the bay and that will be what it looks like. >> yeah, just a great job.

mount municipal airport. the flight crew has also been removed from the service. >> the village is taking shape at the national harbor. today's big topping marks the return of the circus and a live production to our area. the big top seats more than 2,600 people. the set up takes eight days. performances get ready next wednesday on all -- on august 15. we will get you money to save for your olympic olympian. >> and also ahead a bully in the china shop. coming up the bear that was anything but after breaking into a candy store. a house fire that killed a 5-year-old girl. investigators are say it was caused by an overloaded extense cord. i'ms bruce leshan with a look at what you could keep your

they believe that an improperly plugged in air-conditioning unit is to blame for that fire in capitol fights. >> reporter: no pun intended, just shocking. some 280 americans are killed each year. 1,000 more according to the u.s. fire of administration. it if many this case the fix apparently is pretty darn simple. they say that an air- conditioning unit, a window win like this, instead of it being plugged into the wall, it is suppose to be, well,ing inning first into an extension cord like this one. then the expension cord was

actually plugged into a power strip. >> experts say that any small electrical tools or appliance that shorts, even just a little bit or smokes or gives off spark needs to be replaced. >> will they arierly okay if you just plug a computer, a cell tone, is run a whole lot of other appliances off of this. any time that you have a plug near water, you need to have one of these gfi switches. t finally if your light switches get hot or spark or if the lighter flicker, shut them off and have them progressionally replaced. 26 res sensual electrical fires every year won $1 million in daniels. don't be a statistic.

germany. rounding up the summer olympics. a lot of inspired budding athletes will participate in sports. but that could cost you plenty. tonight, how to save some cash on all those expenses. >> reporter: but 2012 games have spurred lots of young people with dreams of an olympic jury. but it could put up a spice as the lessons travel and the equipment will add up. so before you let your child dives into a sport first, her personal finance editor says to start slow. >> it is really good to give your kids a broad experience, but you don't want to overdo it on yourself and you don't want to overdo it on the kids. >> reporter: you will waste money on an equipment if your child loses interest. so don't buy it new right away. >> get something used. get something used first. at least for the first one, maybe even the first couple of seasons. until the kids, again, they

choice for life. >> especially when it comes to breast cancer. so for example, a woman living in ward five, or ward 2 -- ward 8 is twice as likely to die from breast cancer than from ward 3. with other women that they already know and trust. >> reporter: they hope to reach more than 2,000 women, having at least 70% of them actually getting a mammogram will be a clear measure of success. >> women at times, even if we reach them with information, they don't make the transition to care. that's our benchmark is how many women are we getting to get the screening? >> 9news now. >> and keep yourself and your buddy in check. for a monthly early detection alert sponsored by washington radiologist associations. the first man on the moon

people in japan today mark the 67th anniversary of the u.s. adam bomb attack during world war ii. thousands took part in ceremonies around the city for the first time, the united states sent in their ambassador to japan to attend that ceremony. and some remarkable video surfaced on youtube this week. a small plane crashing into the idaho mountain. >> but as they report, what makes this video extraordinary is that it was shot from the cockpit, showing us exactly what the pie hot and the passenger saw as -- pilot and the passenger saw as the whole thing unfolds. >> out of all the videos opening up online, a plane crash inside the cockpit, it will come with a healthy dose of skepticism. but this was all very real.

looking at what's left of the vintage, the 1947 to wonder how anyone survived. but all four on board, they did. and so did their footage. >> you know, maybe we shouldn't have taken off that day, but you know at the time i think that everything was good. >> and can yes, with your hands. >> reporter: had is the pie hot son -- he is the pilot son as they took off from a tiny airport near stanley, idaho back in june. cheer skies, beautiful mountain terrain. they brought along cameras to capture the moments. everyone was smiling during take off. even though the plane seemed to be struggling for lift in the hot summer day. just four minutes into the flight, he noticed that they were not getting any higher than about 70 feet above the tree tops. >> i still felt even as i was coming to the trees that my dad would pull us out of it and it would be okay. >> reporter: his dad was an experienced pilot who had flown in vietnam.

why be worried? but then the plane started to lose altitude. alex was sitting in the backseat, looking out the side window. >> come on, hit the power, let's go, let's go, and it just never happened. >> reporter: this is what he saw. the worst thing. >> as the plane started to hit the trees, i just told myself to, you know, just relax and go limb, so i did. >> i remember hitting the trees and it sounded like rapid fire. you know, gunfire it sounded like, but then we were all upside down. >> reporter: it was deathly quiet. the cameras kept rolling. the pilot was the first to speak. >> is everyone okay? >> reporter: much to their surprise, no one was seriously injured, except him. >> once my dad unbuckled, i could see he was bleeding pretty badly. >> reporter: they pulled him to the safety of the near hospital. he had broken his jaw in three places as well as his

cheekbone. he is recovering now. and none blame him for the crash. in fact, they say the way he kept control of the plane might have saved their lives. >> okay. we do a lot of video, but rarely is it that compelling. those men say it first they were not going to post any of the images on the crash, but it felt too personal, but then they decided it was such a vivid reminder on how life could change in an instant as they really wanted to share it. last month 9 wants to know to expose the unexpected charges you face, even when your power is out. and 9news now investigative reporter is here with some surprising results from his investigation. i guess what we should start with, would you say that the state regulators blank? could we be giving power back to the people? >> that is an interesting thing. because you know, i do think that it
