They worked with the ladies on all routines, paying attention to the specialty weekends. Well, they all have very strong work ethics. What they dont have is strong work background. Having them learn cool steps incorporates and takes so much time and effort. A lot of people dont know that side of these athletes. Its always cool to lift the curtain a little bit. I have to tell you, the rain and the losses have us a little bit down today. Its also chilly. I know this is the summer olympics, right . Its winter in brazil. I think we had warmer days in sochi for the 2014 winter well, hang in there, sara. Im sure it will get warm again. Let me ask you this, is this the first day youve seen this much rain is this.

The storms that move through last night, but not heavy rain and lightning, but also plenty of wind, gusts likely over 50 Miles Per Hour brought down large branches all over the east side, from Cleveland Heights to high land heights. And hopes. Video from last night in the area shows sheets of rain and freak lightning. At one point, you can see the rain being pushed down toward the ground as winds increased and trees began to sway. This down burst is likely what caused most of the damage. The storms continue east into lake county, bringing additional strong wind gusts. Crews spent all morning installing power in the area large tree branches literred the road. The city of Cleveland Heights wants to remind everyone to stay away. Those can still come down. If you see yellow tape marking off an area. Stay tuned. Greg dee, channel 3 news.

Now, after losing to thieves, the bronze statue she commissioned for his grave. It was a beautiful angel a beautiful stone. What happened is an unthinkable loan. Somebody could scrap this out for and the grief theyre causing this poor woman and family members, its horrendous. Not worth it. Not worth it tall. Reporter we lewis had been back in texas when she noticed it missing. It was a cost of 26,000. The last person to see it was a family friend in late july who of people here in chardon. Theres certain things thieves should be above, if you know what i mean. The the family says theres also a reward. 10,000 for whoever can return the statue intact. And, of course, anyone with information should contact the Geauga County sheriffs office. By the way, russ, they sent out pictures of the statues, concerned that it may be used for scrap.

Thank you. It is a tough night on both sides for those in a minimum wage increase in city fishes are city officials are taking up the issue at this hour. Reporter good evening, russ. Were inside council chambers. Within moments, were anticipating the much anticipated vote to raise the minimum wage in cleveland to 15. People sitting behind me in red, theyre probably the ones pushing most fervently to up in case you cant hear that chant. Its 15 and a unit. Hundreds marching for the cause they believe will make the lives of clevelanders better. Their lives better. Raising the minimum rage to 15 in the city. I mean, to be frank, 15 an hour is still not enough but thats getting us halfway there. Im a home care worker. Its a cr making 8 and 10 an hour when they provide a public service, and thats a career. I have some of my children that are college graduates, and theyre still making minimum wages because of the jobs theyre able to get. Many city leaders inside the building and out worried it just would be bad for the local economy. Bad for business. Isolate cleveland. I just dont see it. When you have an issue like this, thats kind of the political popular issue. Know, people might want to find something to compromise about, but im willing to talk about phasing in and what the right number is, but it has to be on a state level. A front with back and forth twist and turns that seems to keep the issue alive. Reporter now, we just want to let you know that the Ohio Supreme Court is also considering this matter.
