here in prince william county trying to get into southern fairfax county. 234 just clear now if you're taking that from manassas down toward 95. and there it is, not much there. just south. a very light shower moving north and east. we check in now at 6:00 a.m. with monika samtani. do you have anything to share about traffic or construction? i do. >> something happened? >> something happened. it's hard to say why and we're making our phone calls but there is an accident on the westbound side of i-66. it's just after route 123 outbound or westbound i-66. we'll take a live look nearby. you'll see that volumes are so light that it is not affecting traffic right now. if you're traveling on the westbound side of i-66, just scoot over to the left after route 123. i'll keep you posted on that situation. other than that, looking great back to the maps. no issues to report if you're planning to head on the northbound side of i-95, for example. no hov restrictions. it's all facing northbound right now sowf' got all of those -- so you've got all those lanes open. we'll be back with more at 6:11. d.c. fire crews had to rescue people stranded in flood waters caused by last night's storms. >> rhode island avenue northwest near 2nd street, one of the hardest hit areas by flash flooding. this is one of the usual suspects. reporter kristin fisher is in the bloomingdale neighborhood with more on how things look now. hopefully drying out a bit, kristin. >> reporter: yes, definitely drying out this morning. you wouldn't think that you would need sandbags for your average summer storm, but look here. clearly the folks at jack & company hairdressers knew that they might need them. they're far too familiar with the frequent flooding that happens in this bloomingdale neighborhood. fortunately as i said, they didn't need it last night. the water didn't get all the way up there but look how close it came. this is the water line from during the height of these storms right around 9:00 last night. you can see all these bikes are kind of caked in mud and leaves. so nothing too terrible to the businesses up here but if you look just out to the street, this is where all of that flooding was. water up to the wheels of some cars. and in fact at least three cars got trapped. two of the drivers were able to get out safe on their own. but one driver had to be rescued by the fire department on an inflatable raft. his car completely submerged. fortunately no one was hurt, but residents in this bloomingdale neighborhood say this is a recurring problem and they're sick of it. this neighborhood has seen severe street flooding at least four times this year alone. >> it happened a few times in the last five, six weeks. been getting flooding along the last block here. luckily with my house is, we don't get it but within this one block, it's a valley. it's where all the rain comes and it floods out all the basement apartments. >> reporter: some residents in the bloomingdale neighborhood reported up to 10 inches of water in their basement. so this morning there's a lot of people that will be dealing with water damage, flooded out cars this labor day. these residents say the city is well aware that this area is prone to flooding. mayor vincent gray set up a task force to try to tackle this problem. so far they haven't done much about it. in the meantime what businesses and residents are having to resort to are putting up these kinds of sandbags for just your average small summer storm. mike, andrea? thank you, kristin. this week it's the democrats' turn to party. their national convention is coming up. it starts in car lot this week. >> even before the gavel drops, to kick off the week long event, republicans have a question they want

needs to explain why he didn't do what he said he was going to do. >> reporter: democrats say let's not forget just how bad things were four years ago. >> in the quarter before the president took office, we lost three million jobs. our country was bleeding. our financial system was on the verge of collapse. we were passing bank bailouts to ensure that our system could stay afloat. that's what was happening before the president took office. >> reporter: and president obama's aides say republicans failed to offer solutions at their convention last week. >> it was a week of personal attacks, empty platitudes, and the one thing you were left with is they really think lying is a virtue. >> reporter: here in charlotte some of the biggest questions are about security but local and federal police say they're prepared to keep everyone safe. about 800 protesters marched through uptown charlotte sunday. police stood by as the protests moved along peacefully. the massive police presence has many here unconcerned about potential violence. >> there seems to be police at every block and on every station. >> reporter: but it isn't all protests and politics. >> there are a lot of fun things happening. >> reporter: the convention kicks off today with a labor day celebration called carolina fest with vendors, food and entertainment from jeff bridges and james taylor. susan mcginnis, cbs

weeks ago. >> reporter: she's taking issue with the decision to get rid of 12 bus stops across the district. one was only a block away from her house. now her daughter and other kids are left looking for a new way to get to school which is about a mile away. >> it's not that they can't walk this distance. it's just that we live in modern times with busy roads. there are situations where you don't want a young girl walking home alone. >> reporter: she isn't alone in her concern. >> i think it's absurd to expect children as young as 5, 6, 7 years old to walk a mile, nearly a mile to school. >>

in d.c. 79 in leesburg. it's been a relatively quiet traffic day, but there has been an issue or two. monika samtani is all over it. if it was tomorrow, it would have been a whole different story with the issues that we've had. but right now because it's so light, there are really no big problems to report. we had this vehicle fire on the southbound side of 395. we'll go to it live from our vdot camera right now and show you where it is and what it is. again, a vehicle fire. they're just beginning to load it up and move it out of the way. it's on that ramp to get on to northbound 495 from

more. good morning, kristin. >> reporter: good morning, jessica. well, the water is now gone from the middle of rhode island avenue, but at the height of the storm, there were several feet of standing water in the middle of the roadway. up on the sidewalk, you can still see how high up the water came, came up to right about here and check out all the bikes that were parked here, leaves and mud are still stuck in the tires. and it got so bad, if we look over this way to our left, it got so bad that the owners of jack & company hairdressers even put out sandbags in front of the door to their business. fortunately the water didn't come up that far. by far the people hardest hit were the drivers. three cars got stuck subamericanned in this water. two drivers were able to get out to safety on their own. but one driver had to be rescued by the d.c. fire department. he had been stranded on the roof of his car, had to be rescued on an inflatable raft. several basement apartments in this neighborhood were also flooded out. residents report up to 10 inches of standing water inside. the good news, no one was hurt, but people who live here say they are beyond frustrated. this is the fourth time this year that this neighborhood has seen severe street flooding. >> every time there's a rainstorm, people are like brace for impact, brace for impact because the storm's coming. whether it's one inch or six inches, it doesn't matter. people get really frustrated about the entire thing because we don't know what's going to happen. >> reporter: the rain also caused problems for metro

will be back open this morning. metro reopens at about 7:00, in just one hour. that late opening is not because of the flooding. it's because metro is operating on a holiday schedule because it's labor day. unfortunately, mike and jessica, a lot of people out here are going to be laboring over their flooded basements dealing with insurance claims due to their flooded cars. back to you. >> thank so you much, kristin. as she said metro opens at 7:00 this morning. by the way, marc and vre are closed for the labor day holiday. if you're planning to head southbound on 395, well, there's

we'll see maybe heavier downpours later today as we have some daytime heating. you have plans to light the grill on labor day, you might be holding an umbrella, some of you. i don't expect an all day rain but i do believe we'll get into more showers and storms than we currently have which is just a few in fairfax county. here's a look at your day planner. expect plenty of clouds today of the maybe a sunny break or two this morning. temperatures slowly climbing from the 70s only up into the lower #s on with a southeast -- lower 80s with a southeast wind 5 to 10 with scattered showers and thunderstorms. this evening if you have plans, there will still be showers around. maybe this thunder. an 8:00 p.m. temperature of 78 degrees. here's a look at the radar over the past several hours. we're going back here three hours. you see the showers to our east. lots of rain out in the ohio valley. then in virginia, south central virginia, we're seeing these showers. but locally we've been watching some showers here. the thing i'm worried about later this this morning, this will be coming. it will take a couple of hours to work its way from i-64 up toward us. tates' coming. here in -- that's coming. here in north fairfax, these showers. these will be lifting up toward the american legion bridge, maybe toward potomac and rockville in the next 20 to 30 minutes. a couple of raindrops out there right now. tefers are in the low to mid--- temps are in the low to mid- 70s. hey partial 74. gaithersburg 72 with 73 in alexandria. 73 in andrews. 73 at bowie. a very humid, uniformed atmosphere with temperatures about the same. 76 at reagan national. look at our michael & son weather camera. plenty of clouds out there this morning with calm winds and the humidity is up there, 85%
