A Second Health care worker at Texas Health Presbyterian hospital in dallas has tested positive for the ebola virus. The worker reported having a fever yesterday and was immediately placed in isolation. This worker also came in contact with thomas eric duncan, the first ebola patient to die in the u. S. Meanwhile customs and Health Officials at airports here in d. C. , chicago, atlanta and newark, new jersey plan to start taking the temperatures of passengers from three west african countries. The cdc says the entry screening adds yet another layer of protection to halt the spread of the ebola virus. Many rumors are swirling about the dangers or lack thereafter when traveling aboard airplanes during the ebola scare. Lets bring in our resident myth buster Delia Goncalves herself here to separate fact from fiction. Reporter listen, folks out there, ive got to tell you. I get it. I understand why lots of folks are concerned but we have to be informed about ebola so we simply dont overreact keeping in mind that virus only contracted through blood or bodily fluids. That brings us to this common myth according to our partners at u. S. A. Today. The airlines have taken steps to ensure that passengers cannot contract diseases like the ebola virus in the aircraft. Thats false simply because ebola cannot be contracted through air, water or food and that has not changed in nearly 40 years. Thats how long the cdc has been tracking and treating the virus so there are experts in this country on ebola virus. This is not a new virus so they do have experience. What should you worry about on these airplanes . Well, the common germespeally o seats tray tables, your seat belts and arm rhees.

Three people who say they were tricked into attending 12 weeks of employee training without being paid are now suing maryland live casino in federal court. Theyre suing for back pay and damages. Vanessa herring has the details. Reporter the three former students say the Dealer School was a clever way to get them to attend employee training without paying them. According to the baltimore sun, the lawyer for the students is asking that the suit move forward on behalf of the 831 people who went to the school. A spokesman for the casino told the paper that these claims are, quote, without merit. You may remember back in november of 2012, Maryland Voters did approve bringing table games to the states. The casino announce add 12week Dealer School shortly after that vote. The former students say 9,000 people applied but only 831 were accepted. In a 2012 press release, the casino said about 800 people would be hired as dealers. Lawyers for the students allege that acceptance into the school amounted to being hired but when the casino started accepting applications, it said completing the course didnt guarantee employment. Lawyers say the course amounted to employee training without the pay violating state and federal laws. The school was set up with the Anne Arundel Community college this does operate a Dealer School starting at about 5600 per student, but the maryland live casino does not pay tuition for students.

So, how do you take yours . The biggest problem this morning are the problems on the beltway, the inner loop closed at the spur. The traffic we saw going just weaving like some giant chain. We can blame it on howards forecast. You can always blame me if it makes you feel better. Im here for you. Ill be your punching bag. Im not taking a bullet for you but ill be your pumping bag. Give us a timeline on when its moving in here and heading out. Probably 8 00 to 9 00, maybe as late as 10 00 on the east side. It will be with us through at least afternoon, the heavy stuff and taper off later this afternoon into the evening. The heart of the day into the afternoon commute, looks like potentially very heavy rainfall and thats why we have a flood watch. If youre west of town, especially west of the blue ridge, dealing with heavy rain, were starting with doppler 9000 this morning. Some moisture, just a tremendous amount of moisture coming in from florida and the atlantic and gulf of mexico producing some heavy rainfall. Thats a new Severe Thunderstorm Warning. Im going to have to get that off the printer. In effect for areas around strasburg and berryville. Im get you that information. That popped up just now. Were looking at this very heavy line of showers and storms. Lighter showers along the bay. One or two renegade ones there. I want to focus on whats happening out west. This has been some really intense rain and some wind. This is kind of sticking out here toward the martinsburg area. Often thats a bow echo, gusty winds there. Were talking gusts potentially in the 40, 50 mile an hour range. Hagerstown headed your way at 6 44. Green capital 6 50. Chambersburg just after 7 00. This is a brand new Severe Thunderstorm Warning. Front royal, strasburg is in it, berryville, western Loudoun County as the storm are moving to the northeast or cells moving to the northeast at about 40 miles an hour. So this whole line actually is going to move northeast. Expected to warrenton just after 7 00. Call pep near a couple of minutes. Frederick, maryland, just after 8 00 this morning. Potentially just after 9 00 by westminster. I do want to point out were seeing just a little lightning, not much here west of culpeper, north of madison as the whole area is moving northeast. So we have to watch areas to the west. The heavy rainfall rates in some cases over 2 inks per hour with this stuff. Inches per hour with this stuff. Yellow alert. Heavy rain at times. Well have gusty winds, the heaviest gusting over 50 in a few strong storms here and there. Well drop to the mid70s later this afternoon and lingering showers this evening. Were talking about a lot of rainfall, potentially 1 to 3 inches of rainfall. So a flood watch in effect for the metro from 10 00 to 8 00. That goes up to baltimore. Out west in the Shenandoah Valley, that flood watch till noon. Winds are gusty in the 20, 25 range. 25 at Reagan National at the moment. Gusts over 30 in charlottesville. Temperatures unseasonably mild this morning. Low to mid70s. Heres the cool stuff behind the front. Davis 48. Oakland is 50. Outside our michael son weather camera, the white house still dark. Flags blowing in the breeze. 75 degrees here at 6 00 in the morning in the middle of october. Dew points in the upper 60s and the barometer is falling so it is going to be a rough day today. Behind the system as we get to tomorrow, enough energy is going to squeeze out a more showers. Today a hard yellow alert. Showers and storms, some heavy rain 77. 60 tonight. 50s north and west. We may see a few peeks of sun. We may go yellow if showers affect the ride home. This weekend looks nice with upper 60s saturday and upper 50s to around 60 on sunday. Beverly farmer, not so happy wednesday to you. Not happy at all on the roadways this morning. This is just with agent bit of rain were dealing with. Around the capital beltway, weve got two accidents in maryland. Weve got i95 closed in maryland. Got a crash 066 out of the on 66 out of the way. Its been a busy morning to say the least. Inner loop of the beltway as you come from river road and head toward 270, thats where you have to go, north on the 270 spur. A tractortrailer crash occurred before 5 00. Spilled fuel. Theyre still mopping it up on the inner loop of the beltway it the exit for 270 and old georgetown road. Nobody getting by the scene on the inner loop. On the inner loop in bethesda theres been another crash, between connecticut and georgia. On the sharp curves. Crash had only the left lane getting by. Jammed up on the inner loop. Outer loop slows to look. And a tractortrailer rolled over at the 216 interchange. So southbound 95, they were diverting all traffic on to 216. Any traffic squeezing by at all is on the shoulder periodically under Police Direction trying to upright the truck and get it out of your way. 29, route 1 and the bw parkway hard hit with the bailout traffic this morning. Virginia 66, the crash is at least out of the way. That was right before you get to 50 fair oaks on the Left Shoulder jammed out of centreville. Virginia 95 havent forgotten about you. Volume delays are fairly typical. Lanes open into springfield and 395. Thats a look at our traffic. Weve got more coming up this wednesday morning. Thanks for watching wusa9. Well be right back. Youre unpacking already . Yeah. Help me find some mugs . Sure. [ beep ] hey. Okay. Thesell do. . Yeah. [ male announcer ] wake up to the mountain grown aroma of folgers. The best part of wakin up so, where do you want to start . I think this is a pretty good place. Is folgers in your cup ive got to tell you not just a Severe Thunderstorm Warning coming here but you see this red polygone . Thats a Tornado Warning. We dont have any confirmation but if youre in this area from front royal, i want you to take cover now. The storms are moving north east at 30 to 40 miles an hour. This tornado potential tornado is near [ inaudible ] upperville 6 35. Berryville just after 7 00. The storm moving north east. Again doppler indicated so weve got some rotation. At the very least, were likely to see winds gusting in the 40, 50, maybe 60 mile an hour range with this as this is moving toward areas in far northern and northwestern virginia. This may just clip if it holds together in toward jefferson county, West Virginia. But were watching this. This whole line gets toward d. C. As we get past the 8 00 hour. Active weather day coming up. That is a sure thing. Lets go to andrea next. Reporter check be out the traffic. Theres plenty of that going on this morning. We start with sky 9 looking live at the tractortrailer crash southbound 95 in maryland right at the 216 interchange. Tractortrailer rolled over. Theyve been diverting traffic on to 216 and over to 29. Beltway youre diverted, too. Thats in bethesda on the inner loop of the beltway. Everybody has to go north on the 270 spur because of the crash between the spur and old georgetown road. Any traffic able to squeeze by is under Police Direction single file past the scene of that diversion. Back to you. Thank you, beverly. President obama is set to hold a Conference Call today with the leaders of britain, france, italy and germany to discuss the ebola outbreak. The call comes as the director of the cdc announced the creation of a u. S. Based Response Team and more training for Health Care Workers nationwide. Meanwhile 26yearold nurse nina pham is showing some signs of improvement as one of her coworkers has now become the second employee of texas Presbyterian Hospital to have the disease. The threat of ebola has many people fearing flying. A number of mipghts surround ebola and flying on a myths surround ebola and flying on a plane. Here is Delia Goncalves to separate fact from fiction. Reporter here is an important fact. You cannot catch ebola from breathing the air on the plane. You cant get it from food or water. The cabin air is filtered for purity but there are plenty of other germs on the seats, the armrest, the tray tables. That brings us to our last myth of the morning. Theres not much i can do to protect myself when im trapped in an aircraft cabin. Doctors say there is something you can do. Hand sanitizers and wipes your best friends and first line of defense on the airplane. Wipe down the armrest, tray tables they say. Use a tissue or a napkin to open the bathroom door and you should try to avoid touching your eyes or your mouth because thats a direct route for those germs to get right into your system. Doctors say keeping hydrated also helps, too. So what about those bagged pillows and blankets on a long flight. Its usually cold on the airplane. The flight attendants try passing them out. Experiments say you should pass on those items. Theyre rarely washed. Remember, these germs that were talking about on the airplane cannot give you ebola. That virus only passed on through blood or bodily fluids, not through breathing in the air, eating food or drinking water. Back to you in the studio. Delia, thank you. D. C. Police need your help finding 39yearold dalila brooks. She hasnt been seen since monday morning. She was last seen in the 1600 block of van buren street in northwest. She stands 6 feet tall. Police say to call them if you have any information that can help you find dalila brooks. Montgomery county police are looking for 79yearold carl michael. Michael disappeared yesterday afternoon from his group home in silver spring. He walks with a cane were told and often takes public transportation. Police ask if you have any information on this case call 3012798000. Lets take a look outside some of the roads as we know are already slick this morning making for an awful commute in the area of the beltway. A little rain equals a lot of traffic. Lets check in with beverly farmer who has a look. Reporter very busy. Just a little bit of rain. Weve just had a mess, one mess after another this morning. We start with sky 9, the closure of the southbound interstate 95 in howard county. Southbound right at the 216 interchange in a late clearing work down is where a tractor trailer rolled over. Southbound traffic has been detouring as we can see here from sky 9 right on to 216 taking it west over to 29. So 29 out of columbia, burtonsville, white oak, thats going to be a mess. Other folks bailing out early will use route 1 or the bw parkway coming out of baltimore so that will abbig tieup as they to be a big tieup as they try to upright the trek. A wreck on the inner loop of the beltway at the exit for 270. Any traffic theyre able to squeeze by between the 270 spur and the exit for old georgetown road has been periodic and single file to the left. Theyre mopping up fuel spill from a tractortrailer involved in that crash before the 5 00 hour started. So thats been there a while. Diverting the terrific northbound on the 270 spur with complications using democracy, old georgetown road and through the sing natural lights. On connecticut avenue, the crash between connecticut and georgia initially tied up the three right lanes so thats made a new pileup on the inner loop out of bethesda toward silver spring. It slows to look at all the activity. 66 had the big tieup to fair oaks. The crash out of the way but the lineups manassas, centreville. It was on the Left Shoulder here at 50. Thats a look at the drive. Howard and our forecast. Were looking at heavy weather right now. I want to show you doppler 9000 this morning. Well quickly get to where i want to get. We have a Tornado Warning, doppler indicated one. Im show you why in just a moment. A lot of weather coming up in toward West Virginia, western maryland. The yellow box is a warning. The red box is a severe thunderstorm. The red box a Tornado Warning which goes till 6 45. Thats for areas in warren, southwestern clarke county. You can see t. You can take me full, guys. South of winchester, northwest of warrenton, this is where we have the activity. This is an intense line with heavy rainfall. What doppler does better than the old radar is actually see the winds moving. While we have the heavy rain and a little wind out of the martinsburg area, well take you down toward front royal where we had rotation earlier. This is all moving northeast quickly. Berryville by 7 00. Purcelville 7 10. I want to switch it over to the velocity mode. Where the green meets the red, this is the problem area. Right now i dont see as much rotation. Thats good. Andrea and nick . Time to see what our friends over at cbs this morning have on tap. We go to new york live for a preview and Norah Odonnell is standing by to tell us whats ahead. Good morning, norah. Hey, good morning to you, andrea and nick. Ahead were in dallas where a Second Health care worker tested positive for ebola this morning. Were going to talk to the u. S. Health and Human Services secretary about claims that hospitals are not prepared to treat the virus. Plus, an american doctor held by the taliban tells chip reid about his time in captivity, the compassion he experienced and his dramatic rescue. Then days aft Catholic Church said it might welcome gays, some bishops say thats not what they planned. Cardinal Timothy Dolan will join us from rome. The news is back in the morning. Well see you at 7 00. Thank you, norah. Well be watching. President obama says it is going to take the full coalition banding together for isis to be defeated. The president made the remark after meeting with defense chiefs from almost two dozen countries. The meeting comes as the Terror Group Gains Ground in iraq. This is going to ablongterm campaign. There are noquick fixes involved. Were still at the early stages. As with any military effort, there will be days of progress and there are going to be periods of setback. Isis continues its push to capture kobani. Turkey committed to help train moderate syrian rebels. The nomination process to replace attorney general eric holder is set to begin after midterm elections next month. Thats the latest word from the white house. The effort to find a new attorney general is expected to spark a fight on capitol hill. Among those likely to be in the running labor secretary tom perez and former Homeland Security chief janet napolitano. On the job front wusa9 and dc jobs wants to help get you hired.

We have very heavy rain and wind off to the west. Were going to skip past that and get back to doppler and show you whats happening. This is some intense stuff. Some of the rainfall rates have been in the 1 to 2inch category. About 5, 8 minutes ago checking out the velocity, you can see a little rotation in the front royal area. That was enough to warrant the Weather Service to issue that Tornado Warning. Heres winchester. Youre getting hit hard with the heavy rains now. This stuff is moving slightly east. Most of the activity is moving north while the line is creeping east. Well call it northeast at 30, 40 miles an hour. Heavy rains along west of i81. In frederick county, virginia, win chester, Cross Junction area and south of berryville down near front royal. This looks more like a bow echo, a gust of wind coming out the storm as opposed to a tornado. Still, i would take this seriously and get down in your lowest level. Treat this as a Tornado Warning. This activity is moving northeast at 40 miles an hour. So the storm itself looks like its going to be toward upperville. Airmont at 7 04. One of the things about doppler, you see the winds. Thats why i like it much more than the older radars. You see the wind. We have this very brought circulation in the storm. You really want a tight one if youre looking for a tornado. We were looking near front royal earlier. We had the tightness but we dont have as much tightness here. Still with the change of direction from steve fns city. From stephens city. This all is moving in that direction. There will be some wind with this, i think in the 30, 40, or 50 plus possibility as it make it is to the ground. Im not as concerned about a possible tornado as i was several minutes ago. This line goes down toward culpeper. Its moving northeast. Here we are in d. C. A couple of showers i think could get here within an hour or two. But i think the bulk of the heavier rain is probably after the 8 00 hour and then through midday, even through early to mid afternoon. Well be talking some heavy downpours and potential of flooding. Ill come back in 6, 7 minutes and give more doppler and let you know what to expect for the coming weekend. Right now watching heavy weather off to the west. Reporter were checking out the ride because traffic is so bad out there. This is without the heavy rains on the beltway. Just agent bit of water is all it took to tie up lanes on the inner loop of the beltway after the left exit for 270. For the better part of two hours they had the inner loop closed. They just reopened lanes. Look at the lineup coming up from river road. Theyre no longer diverted on the 270 spur. Lanes have been reopened. Still activity from the tractor trailer fuel spill crash. Then over on the inner loop at connecticut avenue, dealing with a crash there. Thats between connecticut and georgia where one lane is getting by. Were looking at southbound 95 in maryland at 216 where now traffic does get by. Overturned tractortrailer. For a time everybody was diverted to 216. Now to lanes get by to the left jammed heading south out of howard county. On 29, route 1, the bw parkway were alternate routes. The beltway in bethesda had the crash on the inner loop and georgia tying up the left side. Another crash on connecticut northbound. I suspect in some of those lineups trying to get over into bethesda. Now, no incidents to report south of town at the wilson bridge. Volume building downtown Anacostia River routes. 66 was hung up badly out of manassas into centreville and fair oaks because of a crash at 450. That has cleared. They cleared the crash in leesburg on Market Street near the faa. Again inner loop will be a while to recover and certainly 95 here in maryland as we look at this long shot of traffic from sky 9 heading south past 216 into laurel. Back to you. Beverly, thank you. 6 41. Time to answer the question of the morning. Having one of these in the office can improve Work Productivity by 15 . Is it a, a massage therapist, b, a pet, or c, a plant . I still think weve got to go with a but our facebook friend bill is going with c. He told us up until five years ago i worked in an office where we had a plant that sat on top of a bookcase and it grew to enormous length. It had wrapped itself around the small office five times. Guess what, bill . Youre quite. Even though we like the massage therapist, the answer is im sure she knows couples in our situation. I just hope she has good coffee. At least were talking about it. I was kidding. I know just try to be serious in there, okay . Okay, youre right. Its just going to be simple steps. Thats all we need. Yeah. Just hope she doesnt tell us we have to work until were 80. The its time to talk about retirement conversation. Wells fargo can help with my retirement plan. A tool that gives you manageable steps for retirement. We can do it with you or try it online. Together, well go far. In cases of rape and incest, just like the rightwing republicans in congress. They want to overturn roe v. Wade. So does she. I think roe v. Wade should be overturned. Barbara comstock even voted with rightwing republicans to require women seeking an abortion to undergo transvaginal ultrasounds. Thats all i need to know. Im john foust and i approve this messge. The time has come to put down the dark roast youve been putting up with and reach for the one you deserve. Dunkin donuts dark roast is here. Bold start, smooth finish, never bitter. Hello. Welcome back to wusa9. 6 45. A messy, messy day. Tornado warning has been dropped so thats good news. Seeing the rotation a little weaker the last few minutes. It was doppler indicated. We dont have any indication it was actually a tornado on the ground. One of the great things about doppler we can see the winds. The Weather Service is the agency that issued the warning. Thankfully we only have one doing that because otherwise the confusion would be immense. Right now no longer a tornado. Still a Severe Thunderstorm Warning till 7 15. Im starting with doppler. Very busy. Lots of heavy weather to the west and its moving toward us and will be here in the next couple, three hours. This moisture flows in from florida all the way north so its tropical in nature. Heavy downpours. This yellow box east of winchester, that is the Severe Thunderstorm Warning till 7 15. We dont like red boxes. That is a Tornado Warning on the doppler map. We have isolated showers trying to come up on the west side of 95 ahead of the big line producing torrential downpours. Some of the wind can be in the 40 mile an hour range. Coming out of berkley and jefferson counties going down toward Cross Junction and winchester action heavy, heavy rainfall.
