Laura and coming up, find out what one business is offering in exchange for one of the coveted seats and then a pair of powerful earthquakes rocked italy, damaging buildings that have stood for hundreds of years. Why Scientists Say these are echos of something much more international with the dew point running in the lower 60s, northeast wind at seven miles per hour. Our temps run lower 70 as long the coast. Mid 60s inland. Similar to yesterday and we finished the same way. Highs the next couple of days will be in the we dance on the salsa team together, and its like a lot of power in what we wear. When were practicing if i dont feel good in what im wearing i dont look good. T. J. Maxx has that variety. I can get a lot for my money. Its like yay t. J. Maxx if youre feeling it, just go for it, dont wait. A pair of powerful earthquakes have hit ce laura a pair of powerful earth quakes have hit central italy, knocking out power and sending scared residents into the streets. And look at the damage there. The tremors were felt as far way as rome. Scientists believe the earthquakes are technically after sho earthquake that killed nearly 300 people in august. There are no reports of anyone killed. Only minor injuries to report. Fortunately. Thats a lot of rubble. Russell i didnt see any of the game last night and i know they started early. Did the storm come through like they were predicting . Dave im like you. I didnt see anything. Russell does anybody out there know . Let us know. Dave they obviously got the game in. It. Dave i know it was cold. It was in the 40s. But yeah, thats a good question. Again, they should start every game at that time. Maybe even earlier for us morning folk. 5 00 would be a perfect time to start the world series game. Dont you think, everybody . You could watch at dinner. Im sorry. We have mid 60s in brandon, plant city, sun city center. So you know, our temperatures may be a couple of degrees think were at the point now, theyre not going to continuing to up. Theyre just going to stay here. Every morning youre going to wake up and its going to be like this. So yeah, the 40s are gone. Really for the most part, so are the 50s, 63 in inverness. Bushnell at 66. 67 in bradenton. Sarasota, venice, englewood, all at 68 degrees. Sebring joining you folks and then lots of 66s inland as well. You know what . Thats nice. Its mild. I like that. But we are running two to four degrees warmer than yesterday at this time. The winds have done a little bit of a shift on us as well. Theyve been primarily out of the northeast the past few days. Now theyre going to shift to the east. That also was a warming wind but its also going to be brisk enough that that east wind is going to hold back any type of sea breeze that would try to develop. So while youve got this 10 to 15 mileperhour wind c the mid 80s so yes, our temperatures go back above normal and this is the way its going to stay over the next seven days. When you get into late october, you get into november, for things to change you need a cold front to come through and we dont see that happening over the next seven days. So when you dont, you just kind of steady as she goes. Temperatures up in the mid 80s or so. In the afternoons with no real rain to speak of. Because we have an east wind and it is pulling some moisture in from the atlantic, highlands county, polk county, you may get the tiniest of shower chances, less than 10 of that happening. In general, no significant rain in the forecast for seven days. You see this front tries to make a run at us. Nope, that doesnt happen. Just a continued dry stretch through halloween. Lo halloween is going to be dry. Its also going to be warm, too. In fact, our High Temperatures over the next seven days are going to be within a degree or two of this 85. So really, the only weather issue, and its a minor one at that, would be for boaters with a Small Craft Advisory as we have the east winds today running around 20 knots. High temperatures, 84, 85. Lows in the mid to upper 60s and vanessa and i think to answer russells question about the game in the rain, i believe it rained earlier in the afternoon but by the time they took the tarp off, there was no concern for the game at all. I was watching it. Yeah. Russell youre just the biggest baseball fan in the room so i know. I think you may have dave on this. Vanessa i dont know. Its a heavy crown to wear. All right, thank you. We want to get to the roads right now. If youre heading through the Manatee County area, disabled truck is reported southbound 75 at state road 64. Lane blocks are reported here but theyre going to be on the exit ramp. Make sure youre using caution in the area. Look here. Were checking out travel times. By and large, our majors not seeing anything big to complain about crash rooiz or constructionwise. Looking like a 15 minute ride coming from the 175 exit heading bridge. Eight minutes apiece, the time between Branch Forbes taking i4 eastbound and 75 southbound fowler avenue to the expressway im watching sky fox because ive been waiting. Looks like theyre arriving on scene right now of the vehicle into a home and this is reported lutz lake fern road at Heritage Harbor road. And so far, all im able to see right now, tow trucks in the area and lake fern. As we mentioned, driver of the vehicle has passed away and the folks inside the home are okay. Bear with me. Im seeing this for the first time right now. From what were hearing from our photographer on scene, the blockage is going to be on lutz lake fern at Heritage Harbor. Looks like they have that road blocked off and the actual crash so your work arounds, state road 54 and van dyke. We havent been able to see any of the scene itself, but im going to watch this for a couple of minutes. Well have another look at traffic. Send it back to you. Russell thanks. 6 21. For the first time, the u. S. Has abstained from a u. N. Vote cob laura lauren green reports. United states makes history regarding cuba. During a United Nations resolution vote condemning the trade embargo United States has always voted against this resolution. Today United States will abstain. Its a move that signals another chapter in the obama administrations efforts to open up relations with the communist country led by the castros. United nations, the United States, not cuba. It certainly didnt have the desired effect of applying more pressure to cuba with regard to human rights. The white house hopes to influence cuba to make economic and social changes by improving relations. Abstaining on this resolution does not mean that the United States agrees with all of the policies and practices of the cuban government. Direct message to congress which is the only wall blocking the end of the embargo. We cannot get our hopes up. We must say the embargo is an obstacle. Thats how president obama sees it and the u. S. Policy he wants with cuba. Cubans remain hopeful about improving relations with the u. S. , but they remind everyone the sanctions wee main in place which they say harm its people. The vote on abstention is certainly a positive step for states and cuba. The embargo against cuba remains in place as congress refuses to bring the issue up for a vote.
