A father and his daughter were killed and nearly three dozen others were hurt, more than 100 people were inside of the circus tent when it ripped apart, the storm packed 60 Miles Per Hour winds and hail. It was only 15 minutes into the show and at least 32 circus goers were injured and that father and his 6yearold daughter were killed. The National Weather service issued the thunderstorm warning just 20 minutes before the disaster. Terrifying, you just hear the screaming children and the crying. Its really the responsibility of the show to monitor the conditions and we dont know why they were going on at that time or what they knew. Investigators are looking into whether the tent was properly constructed and they dont expect to file charges against the operators, walker brothers.

Its 91 in philadelphia, 90 trenton and 90 wilmington but along i95 and towards the lehigh valley, its dry with the dew point and it doesnt feel oppressive outside and that changes as you head south in dover and atlantic city, its much more uncomfortable down there, 50s in philadelphia, and 60 in trenton and that is not too bad, once you head to wildwood, there is more moisture in the atmosphere and more uncomfortable. As we look at the water vapor, that is 10,000 to 15,000 feet in the atmosphere it shows moisture to form showers and thunderstorms and there is really a void and all the green is around us this morning with the first round of rain that pushed off the coast and we do have dry air in place across much of the area and satellite and radar confirms that most of the activity is in new england right now and some showers and downpours developing in parts of virginia, if anyone is fair game for a downpour it would be southern new jersey and delaware, for most of us its mostly cloudy and pleasant. 70 in philadelphia and 70 in dover, future tracker will show around 7 00 this evening, there could be an isolated downpour or thunderstorm in southern parts of south jersey or delaware, that could continue until the 10 00, 11 00 hour, and then early on wednesday morning, some high clouds to the south and sunshine to start your midweek and in the afternoon tomorrow a northwesterly wind kicks in and we see a decent amount of sunshine. The four day at 4 00 forecast, sunny and warm tomorrow 89, thursday 82 degrees and periods of rain here on friday of 75 degrees and maybe a few lingering clouds saturday morning turning sunny in the afternoon with a high of 79 degrees, i tell you we can use rain around here especially for our gardens like here on city avenue, jenny rose stopped by the garden to talk about there are plants out there, that do well with no rain. Okay jenny its pretty dry as of late and people are looking to plan this time of year you kind of have broken it down. Look for things with silver foliage. The silver foliage plantses, when i say dry, they will take very, very dry, like parking lots and sides of driveways and roads, you really knts kill them. Ala aloe. We love that. That stops the moisture from evaporating. And what to stay away from is these kinds of plant . Anything way larger needs more water, ferns and mosses and these types of things, generally. Those require more moisture. And lots of hibiscus. And water less often and more deeply, when you water it, dont go out and do a little sprinkle, water once or twice a week but make sure the water goes down to the roots. And Mother Nature will help us at the end of the week and pennsylvania horticultural society, we do a great job with the water garden here. Brian, those dry weather plants, those are the ones you want to stick with. If i could hear that british accent all day long. That was pleasant. Thank you adam. Thank you.
