August 17th, 1975 signaled the start of the fire at the Gulf Oil Refinery. It took six days to bring it under control. When it was over, eight firefighters were dead, 14 others were injured. Mayor nutter was among those who spoke today. We of course acknowledge not just how they died and whether they became heroes at that moment but quite frankly, their heroic performance of service and duty in their chosen profession as public servants. Investigators determined the fire was caused by the overfilling of a tank at the refinery. The fate of an historic south jersey bridge is still undecided but residents say they need it.

A pittsburgh steeler is teaching his children a lesson that has a lot of people talking. Linebacker James Harrison is making them return their participation trophies because he says they did not earn them. It is a hot topic that has many people chiming in. We found one local psychologist who calls harrison her hero. It was an Instagram Post from harrison that stirred the conversation about how and when we reward our children. Harrisons sons received trophies simply for participating in a sport. In the post, harrison vowed to return the trophies and said quote, im not sorry for believing that everything in life should be earned, end quote. One psychologist we spoke to says he rewarding children for expected behavior can have lifelong detrimental effects. What were doing is taking away these lessons that they can learn during difficult times like for example, not getting reward when theyve tried their best. James harrison also wrote on instagram that sometimes your best is not enough and that should drive you to want to do better. We have been asking parents to chime in on our nbc 10 philadelphia facebook page. The question is do you agree with James Harrison that participation trophies should not be given out for youth sports . Marie writes totally agree. Participation should not warrant a trophy. Trophies need to be earned. Participation trophies diminish the reward. Jenae disagrees, saying encouragement is good for children. Let them wait a little longer for the disappointments. You can join the conversation and share your opinion on the nbc 10 facebook page. The heat is continuing for the third day in a row making it an official heat wave. Now the humidity is being added in. So weve got some more 90s in the forecast but the steamy week is going to be steamy even after the heat wave is broken. Thunderstorms returning. Weve had one pretty big one in northeast philly right now as much of the rest of the area is just dry. Its 93 at philadelphia international. Southwest 11. Feels like 96 degrees. In northeast philly, bensalem, down to 80. Trenton is 80. They had a heavy shower as well in the past hour. You can see what a difference it makes. As soon as you get some rain and other areas of new jersey and delaware, as soon as you get a wind coming in off the cooler ocean or delaware bay, temperatures start to go down. We can show you some of the big differences here. Look at this. 78 degrees in Cape May Harbor while its mid 80s farther inland. 81 at sea isle city, 86 in woodbine. In atlantic county, 80 at the marina, close to 90 farther inland. In the same county, just a few miles away. The feels like temperature in the mid 90s in some parts of the area. Now, the extra humidity has helped to fuel a couple of showers and even thunderstorms and now theres a flood advisory in effect until 9 15 tonight for northeast philly and just a small portion of montgomery county. Just east of abington and cheltenham, just a small portion bordering northeast philly. You can see theres very little on the radar but a couple of these showers are pretty heavy. The one that went through trenton really weakened dramatically. This one, we wish weakened because its not moving very much. As we have been telling you in the last hour or so, if theyre not moving much, you got some problems. Theres another one that has developed northwest of warminster. This is the cell of course causing the problems. This is a border of northeast philly on this side and of course, cheltenham township now getting into some of the heavier rain. This is a radar estimate and in this area, just east of parts of huntington valley, thats two to three inches of rain, radar estimated. Thats fallen just in the last couple hours. So there may be some localized flooding in there. You dont want to drive into flooded roads. You can see the southerly flow that keeps the humidity going up. And we will continue to see that tomorrow as well. We could see some more showers developing but its going to become a little more widespread on wednesday with yet another day of moist winds coming in off of that ocean. We will see more showers around during wednesday and then even more on thursday as some of this activity from the west comes straight in to the area. That will certainly help keep the temperatures down. Weve just got the isolated showers and storms and northeast philly getting hit the hardest now. Warm and humid, 75 for the low in philadelphia, 68 north and west. Tomorrow, hot and humid, feels like up to 98, and just isolated afternoon showers again. Sevenday forecast, the chance, better chance of any showers on wednesday and then very likely on thursday and friday, helping to keep the temperature down. A little less humid and more comfortable over the weekend. We have an update on nbcs clear the shelters campaign. More than 18,000 animals across the country have new homes thanks to saturdays event and thanks to you. We have some new adoption numbers from our area we would like to share.
