Well, republicans needed to act while they had the votes lined up. They are about to go on an 11day recess for the house. They wanted to make sure they took care of it and not let people go home and change their minds. Secondly, the question now is what about the senate . It is much less clear what will take place.

The little boys mother says struggled with speech but after the ordeal as soon as he saw me, his eyes lit up and he stood up and said, momma. That is something we worked hard to get him to say for the longest time. Michelle so many emotions. The officer says he hopes elijah will be his little buddy forever. Jonathan s that is a barbecue joint. Its still identified a the barbecue restaurant but it is a complete loss. Part of the problem is look of fire hydrants in the area. Michelle an idea that might be hard to swallow. Eating money to hide it. That is what happened in columbia where a woman swallowed cash to hide it following a fight with her husband. She ingested 7,000. All 100 bills. Doctors had to surgery remove the money from her stomach and intestines. Jonathan a woman turns her vacuum cleaner into a form of protection in a road rage incident. This is how it starts. A guy is angry about her driving. Bangs on her window and tries to force the door open. She comes out and she grabbed the stick vacuum and began hitting the man.

Jonathan right now the coastguard is investigating several laser attacks against ships in the chesapeake bay. Four incidents were reported yesterday. Its illegal to shine a laser at a ship or any other vehicle because it could impact the operators sight. Michelle look at this. School bus ends up on the side afr in las vegas. The driver of the car was kill a young passenger was hurt. 15 kids were on the bus. They were also hurt. Jonathan we have a scary situation here. A school bus barely dodging catastrophe. Truck spins and taps the bus. This happened in front of them. For some reason the truck came across the center line and mashed the car and spun in a bus filled with children. The driver you could hear in the video calling 911 to report this. In all three people were hurt but none on the school bus. Different story for louisiana. A school bus filled with children ven chures out in the floodwater. For whatever reason the driver just thought maybe there wasnt a lot of water on the road. There was. The bus starts floating away. Amazingly its caught at an intersection. Something hung it up. The children were rescued. Many others not as lucky. Entire towns are going under water in part o with roadways that were once completely washed away. Michelle the images are powerful. The weather we enjoyed most of the wenter with the relatively warm weather. No major snowstorms may come back to bite us. We mean bite. Mike carterconneen reports this summer we may be in for a storm of insects. The biggest north american grass hoper. Mike is a selfdescribed bug guy at the university of maryland in college park. Willing to sacrifice his own forearm for the sake of science. This is getting unpleasant. Due to Climate Change the entomologist forecasting more species from Southern States will move north to our region and more insect activity will start earlier each spring. The hotter it is the faster they develop. He is keeping an eye on stink bugs. We never got really cold temperatures to put a beat down on stink bugs. We may see greater overwinter survivorship. Mosquitoes may be the generations each year. In a warmer year that extends longer we are going to see more generations during that year. Because they are potential carriers of the zika, west nile and other viruses. He suggests protective clothing when outdoors. Products containing deet 25, to 30 is efficient. Another tip is reduce standing water on the property. They can collect enough rain water that creates ideal breeding ground for mosquitoes. Dump the birdbath twice a week. Get rid of the old flower pots. I collected 250 mosquitoes breeding in upside down frisbee in the backyard. In college park, mike make, abc7 news. Michelle the good morning Washington Team is with you all morning to help you map out best route for the rainy commute. That means traffic and weather every ten minutes. Jonathan we have a mess of a commute tomorrow. It seems when we get rain it happens in the morning the morning sometimes. It really slows things down. Well have it in the morning and the rush hour in the afternoon, maybe a shower or two but not like the morning. That is what we want to concentrate on here. The radar is well south and west. Showers tonight its loafer. Right when the winds line up. Off the ocean. Farther south from the gulf. When that happens we see sudden expansion and increase the intensity of the rainfall. We have a warm front running through the southside of virginia. We have the moisture with the southeast winds coming this way. Rain pushing northwest. South of the front the rain is pushing north. That will converge as the air mass advances in. We think we are good on the timing of heaviest rain in overnight hours. Notice the yellows or the heaviest rain areas through the overnight. So two to t turn mog and then the rush. Winds will keep temperatures mild. 61 for a low. Still 63. Warmer at 7 00 in the morning. We have the patches of the rain, moderate to heavy in spots. Isolated thunderstorms and the timing is not the best. The sustained rain and the heaviest downpour on the commute. 10 30 and this model pushes the heavy stuff across the by a. We should see improvements. There is an additional chance of a shower or storm that popup in the afternoon or the evening. Look at the temperatures. Low to mid70s. Breezy and mild throughout the day. Once the storm system moves north, heavy rain will end. The process will leave us generally between 1 to 2 inches in area. Computer picks 1. 7 inches for d. C. About the same for manassas and baptmore as well. We need the rain. We are in a drought situation. But this is a short period of time. One to two inches possible. Low lying areas. Avoid standing water and sure to slowdown the morning rush in the areas to get heavy rain. Over the weekend, we will turn cooler here. Low 60s. Showers likely at times on saturday. Isolated shower on sundays. We look ahead to next week not a big improvement at all. Showers thursday, friday, saturday. It will be four or five degrees below average. Sooner or later we get to 80. 80 would seem hot. What needs to get shot the sports. Another game tonight. Look at who is behind me warming up. Remember, thomas smashed him in the nose.

Give the nod to home team. Old school matchup. Two teams emerging. They are purveing pushing each other to knock each other off. Rivalry ensued. Young guys are hungry. Morris and crowder are tough guys. Guys that got to the nba through channels where people didnt believe them. They have a chip on their shoulder. Isaiah thomas. You have guys who want to win and want to be great. So when that, those two teams intersect its brutal and bloody. Physical and fun. Erin one thing they want to work on tonight is being more physical. Especially with isaiah thomas. He has been getting easy layups. I know it sounds crazy because he los that is one focus tonight. The other is protecting their lead. The players feel like they should have won both games one and two in boston. They are hungry tonight and they play better at the Verizon Center. You should be confident and expect a win from the wizards tonight. By the way, the nats, if you pick them in the poll they won today 42. Maybe that is a good sign of things to come. Jonathan nats are on fire. Hopefully it will carry over. Michelle thank you. A lot of rain on the way. Yep. Overnight most of it. Take a look. The satellite and the radar shows rain south and west that will move in overnight to be heavy at times. Steve rudin checking computer models and he will update the forecast amount and the timing.
