Two apartments at the naples bath and tennis club are covered in black soot, and drenched.

Seven others have smoke damage.

Disaster crews are working to clean up the mess and fix a hole in the roof of the building-- so residents can move back in as quickly as possible.

Mary: "15:24 there's nothing that can be saved in there."

Until then, all the amadors can do is wait-- and slowly start to pick up the pieces.

"14:10 one day at a time I guess, I just really don't even know where to turn or where to start."

While everything they own is gone-- the amadors say they are thankful they still have eachother.

are in the hospital recovering because it only took moments to breach that facility somehow does

THIS WEATHERCAST HAS BEEN PREPARED BY THE NBC2 WEATHER STAFF.

IT IS NOT A VERBATIM OF WHAT IS BEING SAID, BUT IS THE FORECAST FOR OUR AREA.

LITTLE TASTE OF FALL AHEAD

Dry, stable air is in the process of filtering into Southwest Florida, which will work to drastically lower our rain chances for the next several days.

Instead of tracking those afternoon showers and storms, we'll just be tracking sunshine and a few fair-weather clouds. Come Thursday, we'll even get a break from the oppressively high humidity we've endured for the last several months.

Here's how our Thursday breaks down. In a few areas , we'll start out with some patchy fog. Otherwise, we'll begin with a mostly clear sky and temperatures around 69 degrees… Yes, I said 69 degrees. Sunshine will pretty much dominate our sky through the day, too. Daytime temperatures will peak in the upper 80s to near 90.

Our sky stays clear tomorrow night as well, and with the low humidity levels - it'll feel great! Clear sky, light wind will allow temperatures to bottom out in the upper 60s to lower 70s for yet another night

The subtle drop in humidity will carry over into Friday, making the air feel slightly more splendid. Afternoon temperatures will still be rather warm though. That's what happens with dry air during the fall. Cool mornings and warm afternoons, but thankfully it won't feel oppressive!

Daytime highs will stay mainly in the upper 80s. A refreshing breeze will set up out of the east northeast from 5-15 mph, and we may even get gusts in the 20-25 mph range.

The beautiful weather also rolls along into Saturday. Saturday will feature mainly sunny skies and dry conditions with highs yet again nearing the upper 80s.

By Sunday, there should be enough moisture coming in with the easterly winds to produce a few hit-or-miss showers, but even then, most spots will stay dry.

AN AFFIRMATIVE ACTION CASE BEFORE THE SUPREME COURT COULD IMPACT WHO GETS ACCEPTED TO COLLEGE AND WHERE.

THE COURT IS CONSIDERING WHETHER THE UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS SHOULD BE ALLOWED USE A STUDENTS RACE AS A FACTOR DURING ADMISSIONS.

SCROLL DOWN A COLLEGE APPLICATION AND YOU'LL SEE ANY NUMBER OF FACTORS USED TO DETERMINE WHO GETS IN AND WHO DOESN'T.

KEY HERE IS THIS QUESTION OF RACE.

IT DREW DOZENS OF PEOPLE SUPPORTING AFFIRMATIVE ACTION TO THE STEPS OF THE SUPREME COURT.

"Racial inclusion is the key to racial justice."

THE UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS. IS DEFENDING ITS USE OF RACE AS ONE FACTOR AMONG OTHERS. TO ADMIT A SMALL PORTION OF STUDENTS. OUTSIDE OF THE STATE'S TOP 10 PERCENT ACADEMICALLY.

"Most Americans would like a day where we don't need to take race into consideration. We are not to that day. "

ABIGAIL FISHER ISN'T A MINORITY. SHE WHITE. AND SHE SAYS HER RACE PREVENTED HER FROM GETTING ACCEPTED.

SHE'S SUING THE UNIVERSITY.

"I hope the court rules that a student's race and ethnicity should not be considered when applying to the University of Texas."

"The absence of equal protection was a sin in this country for a long, long time and we're simply trying to say those rights belong to everybody."

IN COURT, JUSTICES KENNEDY, ROBERTS AND ALITO. QUESTIONED WHAT STANDARD THE UNIVERSITY USED TO MEASURE DIVERSITY.

ALITO ASKED WHETHER THE POLICY HAD ANY REAL BENEFIT.

JUSTICE SOTOMAYOR ASKED WHAT DAMAGES FISHER HAD SUFFERED BY NOT GETTING IN TO U-T.

"We're saying before you embark on use of race, you oughtta know what you're trying to achieve."

JUST NINE YEARS AGO THE SUPREME COURT RULED IN FAVOR OF AFFIRMATIVE ACTION.

NOW. THEY'RE RE-CONSIDERING. AND THE RESULT COULD IMPACT HOW MUCH RACE CAN PLAY INTO UNIVERSITY ADMISSIONS NATIONWIDE.

THE JUSTICES WILL LIKELY MAKE A DECISION ON THE CASE IN THE SPRING.

JUSTICE KAGAN IS NOT PARTICIPATING BECAUSE SHE WORKED ON THE CASE WHILE AT THE JUSTICE DEPARTMENT.

IT'S NOT EASY. BUT THERE ARE WAYS TO AVOID THE PHONY REVIEWS.

FAKE ONLINE REVIEWS-PKG

LOOKING FOR A VACATION SPOT?

A HOTEL?

SO WAS YEJIN CHOI. BUT AFTER SEARCHING ONLINE, SHE DIDN'T ALWAYS FIND THE BEST PLACES.

"There were occasions where I would, for instance, go to a hotel that I booked from online and then it didn't match my expectation."

THAT'S WHY SHE JOINED A RESEARCH PROJECT WHILE STUDYING AT CORNELL UNIVERSITY.

SHE HELPED DEVELOP AN ALGORITHM LOOKING FOR LIES.

"It analyzes all the words for the more linguistic patterns, like parts of speech, that you use and then finds out which ones correlate more with fake reviews as opposed to truthful ones."

SO WHAT ARE THE "TELLS"?

YEJIN-- WARNS: WATCH OUT FOR SUPERLATIVES.

"For instance, luxurious, elegant, fantastic."

AND OVERLY CONFIDENT REVIEWERS.

So you will see more of a 'definitely' and 'certainly', 'for sure', 'absolutely' in those reviews.

LOOK FOR VAGUE DESCRIPTIONS.

"The fake reviewers seem to have a hard time visualizing hotels that they have actually never been to."

EXPEDIA SAYS IT NOW VERIFIES POSTS SEVERAL WAYS, INCLUDING "ENSURING THAT THE REVIEWS ARE POSTED BY TRAVELERS WHO HAVE PAID FOR A ROOM IN THE HOTEL THEY ARE REVIEWING".

ROBERT REID IS U-S TRAVEL EDITOR FOR LONELY PLANET.

HE SAYS THE GOOD NEWS? THE ESTIMATED PERCENTAGE OF FAKE REVIEWS. IS DOWN.

"Four years ago there was a third, of fake reviews. Now it's more like ten percent."

THE FEDERAL TRADE COMMISSION DID CRACK DOWN IN ONE RECENT CASE. TAKING A FAKE REVIEWER TO COURT.

RICK RITTER/NBC 2/12:07:49 "Witnesses say this white van was driving in this shopping center here on radio road when it side swiped a black car before running into the front window of this blockbuster. They say the driver was taken to the hospital, while several others inside the store at the time of the crash are lucky to be alive."

ROGER HUGHES AND HIS WIFE WERE HOPING TO RENT A MOVIE AND ENJOY A RELAXING NIGHT IN NAPLES.

ROGER HUGHES/ENGLAND 11:59:34 "We find movies very hard to get, the ones we like."

THE COUPLE FROM ENGLAND DIDN'T EXPECT THEIR LIVES TO BE ON THE LINE AT BLOCKBUSTER ON WEDNESDAY BUT THINGS QUICKLY TOOK A TURN FOR THE WORSE.

ROGER/11:58:34 "Next thing we saw was a truck coming into the store we were in."

OFFICIALS SAY THIS WHITE VAN WAS COMING THROUGH A RADIO ROAD SHOPPING CENTER WHEN IT WENT OUT OF CONTROL--SMASHING INTO THE HUGHES BLACK RENTAL CAR BEFORE ENDING UP INSIDE OF A BLOCKBUSTER.

ROGER HUGHES/11:58:38 "We didn't know that it hit our car on the way and that it destroyed it. 11:59:18 "Were both lucky to be alive."

U-P-S EMPLOYEES NEXT DOOR DESCRIBED THE SOUND OF THE CRASH LIKE SOMETHING OUT OF A MOVIE, WHICH SENT THEM RUNNING TO SEE WHAT HAPPENED.

SHAWN MCCORKLE/UPS EMPLOYEE/12:03:21 "I ran outside & the guy was stepping out of his van, spitting out glass so I ran over to him.

MCCORKLE THEN SAT THE DRIVER DOWN ON THE CURB, HELPING HIM RELAX UNTIL EMS COULD ARRIVE.

SHAWN MCCORKLE/12:04:10 "From what he told me, he was passed out. He remembers driving, passing out and waking up inside of the building."

THAT DRIVER WAS TAKEN TO THE HOSPITAL WHERE THE EXTENT OF HIS INJURIES ARE UNKOWN. NO OTHER INJURIES WERE REPORTED.

MEANWHILE THE HUGHES KNOW HOW FORTUANTE THEY ARE, TO LEAVE THE SCENE WITHOUT A SCRATCH.

ROGER HUGHES/11:59:22 "We could have been caught in the store, could have been knocked over by the truck or our car could have killed us."
