in the next several days. i'm sure we'll find out more as the streets open up and we look at the damage. >> reporter: we have an ambulance coming through here, now the fire department told us a short time ago that there were no injuries so that may not be related to that. we are seeing a lot of fire trucks here, look at that water just all pouring downhill. all on light street and near pratt street. and kai pointed out last hour how we have the grand prix coming up in seven weeks who knows what that could do to those plans and this is a busy intersection at any time of year. so if you travel down here if you're working tomorrow you better plan on delays. it is just gridlock here if you look down pratt street right now, you can see the cars are just backed up. everybody trying to get around this. and there just is no good way around it. it's best just to avoid downtown at this point. but again we're still working to figure out exact dimensions of the water main break and exact cause. that is unknown at this point. but there's still a lot of water coming down here. the main break appears in lumbard and redwood. they have the command center down there and they have the roadblocked off. we continue to gather information here at the scene as this is still very active right now. reporting live, mike hellgren. >> thank you very much mike. our complete coverage says it's a huge water main break continues with captain jeff long. >> reporter: the one of the things you can see from our vantage point in addition to the fact that there's a lot of water coming down the road here is how many breaks there are in the road. we counted at least four. there's probably more. but when all that water starts coming out of that pipe it's going to take the path of least resistance. a lot of damage on the road that's going to have to be repaired. reporting live, captain jeff long back to you. >> jeff, thank you. as we have heard this water is closing down several streets in the heart of downtown right in the middle of rush hour. only imagine what it would be like working downtown trying to get out and get home right now, our coverage continues with christie bersland. >> this couldn't have happened at a worse time. we know that it is closed and the water is just like a big mud light at this point going across lumbar d, to pratt street. they're redistricting you over to charles street -- they're redirecting you over to charles street. you could even take the jones fault expressway. so this is just going to continue to get even busier but we will keep you up to date to any new detours that become available. our complete coverage continues now from our newsroom. adam may has more information on the issue. you are the king of water main breaks. >> reporter: i have reported quite a few of them. they've just told us moments ago they have no idea when they're going to be able to shut this down. so for now the water it will continue to flow. they are still efforts trying to get that valve shut off to shut off this water so it starts flowing right here down the street. now that is the same size pipe that busted back in 2009 in downtown baltimore, it's a 20- inch pipe. there's a lot of buildings that was flooded back in 2009. we don't have any confirmation now of buildings that are flooded yet. i know this area there are few parking garages around here that do have lower levels so i'm sure that is a concern for people who have cars right there. also we just got off the phone with adrian barnes. she is with baltimore city's department of transportation. she is putting out an urgent transportation alert to people that are downtown baltimore right now. she is telling them if you're downtown in this general area it is best to try and stay downtown for the time being. they're trying to ease up some of this traffic gridlock that we've been seeing here from sky high chopper 13. if you do have to leave downtown, try using the south side or some of the tunnels to get out of downtown. if you have to leave downtown and go north, go north and try to avoid light streets. these water main breaks they have been a huge problem in baltimore over the last decade or so. there have been a number of them. there are some real amazing estimates of how much money it would cost to fix these problems. hundreds of millions of the dollars in baltimore alone to fix this infrastructure. until that funding comes through, we're going to see many of these. the water main is still broken. it is a 20-inch main. back to you. >> thank you. stay with wjz for complete

and run. $35million guaranteed worth a potential total of 40 million. rice earned that big payday by becoming one of the biggest threats. he's twice been named to probowl and the deal he agreed to today lasts long term. rice would have been under a one year deal able to become a free agent after the 2012 season. and the rice contract allows the ravens to now turn their attention to a long term deal for quarterback joe flacco who has one year remaining on his current deal. >> ravens kick off training camp in less than two weeks. if you've been outside, then you already know it is hot out

we're going to show you temperature wise, in baltimore still a lot of 90s. when you factor in that high dewpoint it feels like it is 98- degree in baltimore, 93 in dc and still in the 90s still at

economy to last. to improve education, to improve public safety. i don't want to jeopardize that by the potential for this issue to throw a wrench into everything that we're trying to accomplish. >>

when the dark skies as they roll through garden view apartments. the smell of burning furniture and appliances sinking into apartments. >> everybody over there, everything was lost. so it's just sad. >> reporter: her husband says residents could only stand and watch helplessly as their apartments burned. >> it could have been my apartment. >> reporter: the fire started on a third floor apartment. traveling through the attic to another building. >> the biggest challenge is getting up into the attic and getting it out. the very limited access, once it vented through the roof we were able to get guns and ladder pipes off of our ladder trucks and into the fire and extinguish it that way. the damage to the building is severe, surprisingly everyone made it out alive and no one was hurt. >>

working on that or even just at camp these are the kind of days you want to be smart and take breaks. not much left a lot of this is dying down and moving down to the south. this thunderstorms is the one that made its way through. other wise it's the heat. heat advisory in effect in southern parts of baltimore county. that's it right now. this will likely be extended or expanded if not tomorrow at least on wednesday because that's probably when we're going to peak with this round of heat. temperature wise, still 93 degrees outside. 88 in dc. 90 in haguerstown and the dewpoints are pretty high. when you factor all that together still feels like 98 in baltimore and 98 degrees in ocean city. and 93 degrees in cumberland. today 95, tomorrow wednesday we're predicting highs of 98 degrees. on wednesday that humidity is really going to be up there. those dewpoints in the low 70s. so that's probably going to feel the worse of these next couple of afternoons and this is why. look at what's out to our west. this is the heat all the way up to the canadian border once again. 98degrees right now in minneapolis. 97 in chicago and that's what's moving in our direction. now there is a front right behind that. that's the next front that's going to move our way. today's thunderstorms with a tail end of storms. that's getting out of here. a little bit of a break tomorrow from that side of things. the next front comes our way on wednesday. that's going to bring possibly strong thunderstorms and that front is slowly going to push away. this is how it works out. it slows down as it moves it's way toward the mid-atlantic. gets pretty strung out, starts to lose strength and it's going to stick around for thursday. still a chance for showers and thunderstorms on thursday. we really do need the rain. we're over 8-inches down on the year. could come at the price of thunderstorms but at least it looks like we could get a decent shot of rain out of this too. by the time we hit the weekend that will move away and temperatures start coming down. bay temperature 83 degrees. we're going down into the 70s. any thunderstorms that's out there will be coming to an end. hotter feeling on wednesday with the same high that we're predicting since we do think those dewpoints will be higher. then we start to back off this round of heat thursday into friday. but again could come to play with some thunderstorms. >> okay. >> thank you bernadette. still to come, more updates on the water main break downtown. more on what the city officials are saying. >> a fire between the baltimore

it's very dramatic when something like this happens downtown and also during rush hour that complicates commutes but this is something we should be able to handle relatively quickly. there's going to be road damage, in order to allow us to do what we need to do it's important for every commuter to stay away from this immediate area so that our crews can get in, do the work they need to do so they can get it totally shut down. it's very important to assist that. >> is the water out or is it still flowing. >> it's being shut down. >> reporter: is there any word how long that will take. >> it depends on how long it will take to access some of the valves because of the traffic. that's one of the things that helps us if you stay away so we can access these valve. >> reporter: any idea what may have caused this. >> no, not right now. >> reporter: how many crews do you have on the scene responding to this? >> we have a number of people from maintenance. i don't have the exact number of
