Partner in tallahassee. Reporter incredible watee here. Were told the city gave out more than 30,000 sand bags, if you just heard that, that was an explosion of another transformer going out, and we are told there are more than 30,000 people, probably more at this point without power, and crews cannot work in this because it is too flying limbs, falling trees, exposed lines. We are in a safe area underneath a parking garage and we will be out here reporting as this storm continues to move across the area. Couple of lights over there that were on, they just got knocked out as soon as we heard that boom.

A judge now says a dna expert cannot testify, even though he has given testimony in high profile cases. The denver d. A. Says Richard Eikelenboom is a fraud. The dna expert helped exonerate tim masters, once convicted of murdering a fort collins woman has no dna analysis experience. So a denver judge decided hes unqualified to testify. But this is a guy that takes his show on the road and goes all ovvr the country. He gets paid high dollars to give opinions that are not scientifically based. Its just untrue. The thing is, what they do, they play a game where they try to discredit you. So what does this mean for his other cases .

A doctor at Denver Health is reacting to a letter the Surgeon General sent every doctor in the country. It was aimed at stopping people from overdosing on prescription pain pills. Thousands of americans die every year because of it. On the one hand i feel like the letter was much needed support on the National Level to try to combat the epidemic. As an individual being told how to practice. But the epidemic is so vast, its needed now. Almost 2 million americans abused or were dependent on the prescription painkillers in 2014.
