Thunderstorm activity over this year, and High Pressure is kicking in. 50s and 60s from the top to the bottom, from the west to the east. Upper 50s and low 60s with thunderstorm activity in the sierra. For us it looks a little bit warmer after these cool few days, mild on the coast that started warming yesterday. This theme will continue into friday and saturday. It is 5 01 am. We are quiet. Just the way we like it. There is a little bit of slow traffic, so i will not mislead you, but no major incidents is what i meant to say. Westbound 580 has some slow traffic. You will see slowing driving out toward the commute, 18 miles an hour at 205 which is pretty slow.

Successfully relocated. Childrens health evacuated their nicu there. In houston americas fourth largest city the governor is recommending residents go north. To give you a perspective harvey is expected to make landfall as a category three hurricane, the last time we had those in the United States they were named wilma and katrina. Reporting from houston, lana zak channel6 action news. All right, lana thank you. As the storm gets closer we are watching and waiting to see if the many Oil Refineries in the gulf will be damaged. Now here in our area aaa midatlantic is keeping a very close eye on what happens there because it could affect our gas prices here. If production pipes were so heavily damaged that our region were to send gasoline to texas to help them recover, that would put the squeeze on our gasoline supply and then our prices may go up. Something to keep in mind. Gas prices are expected to jump up soon regardless of the hurricane. Thats because we are close to the time when ga
Is in baltimore. Jeff tell me first, what stood out to you in this speech . One of the things that stood out to me was really how governor omalley tried to build a bridge with between whats happening on main street and whats happening on wall street. He addressed headon the challenges of baltimore. He said there are economic chalt engs that have caused the violence caused the protest. So he dr. Drew a link a correlation between what is happening in this city and whats happening across the country. And then he drew a link and said that ceo of Goldman Sachs, the big Investment Firm would be happy with a president bush or a president clinton. Hes trying to present himself as a new, progressive leader that stuck out to me how hes trying to compare and draw a correlation between all of these economic problems. Did you, jeff did you get a sense of confidence from him . Its very loud at this raly. And things behind me. I didnt hear what you said but a few protesters interrupted the raly. But
Potentially potentially been exposed . What do we know about this mistake . Its a really remarkable failure. Were learning tonight that four workers have now been placed under post exposure treatment to anthrax. It does show the level of concern. It was a site in maryland that tested the sample found out it was live and this raised the alert for those 8 other states and a foreign base in korea and theyve tested the remaining samples and they were all live. And the assumption is all of the samples were live. Is there any risk to the general public because of this. Heres what they say. Theres a protocol for shipping live samples. That was not follow here. But its a position that the protocol that they were shiched under that there is no risk to the public. But this is something raising questions at the highest levels in the pentagon. Thanks. From bad bacteria to big bucks. Its a new kind of Identity Theft that you need to know about. And thats on top of the similar kind of crime already
