TRACKING THE TROPICS-WXWALL

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.

Hurricane Sandy will continue to influence our weather through the end of the week and into the upcoming weekend.

As of this afternoon, Sandy is approaching the southeastern coast of Jamaica packing winds of 80mph. As Sandy continues on a northerly track, it will bring flooding rains not only to Jamaica, but eastern Cuba, Haiti, and the

Bahamas. For us, Southwest Florida will stay on the drier side of Sandy, however you will notice an increase in the winds over the next couple of days as Sandy makes its closest approach.

For the remainder of our Wednesday, we'll continue to see a mix of sun and clouds with temperatures peaking in the middle to upper 80s. A couple of spotty showers can't be ruled out through the early evening hours, however the vast majority of Southwest Florida should stay fairly dry.

Tonight, partly cloudy skies will stick around with overnight lows settling into the lower 70s by morning.

As Sandy moves closer to the Bahamas, our breezy northeasterly wind will set up across the peninsula once again for Thursday keeping the chance for a few spotty showers in the forecast as moisture from the Atlantic gets pulled in our direction from the east. More clouds than sun tomorrow will also keep temperatures in the middle to upper 80s. Expect our windiest day to be on Friday as winds will increase out of the north and northwest to 25 mph gusting close to 40mph throughout the day.

It seems calm on the outside,

But inside crow, or the clinic for the rehabilitation of animals , veterinarians are busy dealing with the affects of red tide.

Sot Steve Greenstein, crow executive director We working on a about half a dozen right now, mostly commerands and we have a sanderling that was found here on sanibel. But mostly just commerands for now."

The birds- ate fish- killed by the toxic algae in the the water.

Causing a neurological affect

Sot Steve

" it puts them in what's called a down position, when you find them they'd v disorientated, they usually can't stand up, have trouble breathing, really it's a positioning of their system"

All these birds- found by citizens who called crow to rescue them.

All of the, with similar symptoms-

Sot dr. Aundria west, crow

" when you walk up to them, they don't walk away, or if they are walking they really just look like a drunk sailor- they stagger, they have a lot of intention tremors with their heads and ally just look like a drunk bird."

There's no cure for red tide positioning, S crow does what they can.

Sot dr aundria

" it's a toxin s there's not really much you'd an do as far as anti toxin against it, you just have to wait for the body to clear it out so the best way is to pump m full of fluids, get things flushed out and just provide some food."

Within 24 hours- vets herer know if the birds going to make it.

Once they seem strong enough- they graduate to this outside enclosure.

This commerand could be released in 48 hours if he keeps recovering.

Making all the work- worth it.

Richard Mourdock

Senate Candidate

THE US SENATE RACE IN INDIANA BETWEEN REPUBLICAN RICHARD MOURDOCK AND DEMOCRAT JOE DONNELLY COULD DETERMINE WHICH PARTY CONTROLS THE SENATE, WHICH IS WHY REPUBLICANS HAVE LINED UP BEHIND THEIR CANDIDATE.

This fall, I'm supporting Richard Mourdock for Senate

THEN CAME TUESDAY'S DEBATE, WHEN MOURDOCK EXPLAINED WHY HE DIDN'T SUPPORT ABORTION IN THE CASE OF RAPE OR INCEST.

Even when life begins in that horrible situation of rape, that is something that God intended to happen.

THE DNC RAPID RESPONSE TEAM FIRED BACK WITH A YOUTUBE AD CONNECTING MOURDOCK'S WORDS TO ROMNEY'S EARLIER ENDORSEMENT.

This fall, I'm supporting Richard Mourdock/

Even if life begins in the horrible situation of rape, that is something God intended to happen.

REPUBLICAN SENATOR KELLY AYOTTE OF NEW HAMPSHIRE CANCELED HER PLANNED CAMPAIGN TRIP FOR MOURDOCK. THE ROMNEY CAMPAIGN PUT OUT A STATEMENT SAYING:

Governor Mitt Romney disagrees with Richard Mourdock, and Mr. Mourdock's comments do not reflect Gov. Romney's views.

ROMNEY DID NOT CALL FOR MOURDOCK TO STEP ASIDE AS HE DID IN THE CASE OF MISSOURI CONGRESSMAN TODD AKIN WHO CLAIMED WHAT HE CALLED "LEGITIMATE RAPE" RARELY RESULTS IN PREGNANCY. AKIN IS STILL IN THE RACE FOR SENATE.

MOURDOCK SAID TODAY HIS POINT WAS THAT GOD CREATES LIFE.

INDIANA SENATOR RAPE COMMENTS-PLASMA

13 DAYS FROM THE ELECTION.

TODD AKIN COMMENTS-VO

THIS IS NOT THE FIRST REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE TO MAKE CONTROVERSIAL COMMENTS ABOUT RAPE.

IN AUGUST, SENATOR TODD AKIN FROM MISSOURI SAID WOMEN ARE ABLE TO PREVENT PREGNANCIES IN CASES OF "WHAT HE CALLED "LEGITIMATE RAPE".

AKIN APOLOGIZED BUT NEVER BUCKLED UNDER PRESSURE FROM HIS PARTY TO DROP OUT OF THE RACE.

POLITICIZING JUDGES RACES-OC-SOT-OC

FLORIDA'S HIGHEST COURT IS DESIGNED TO BE ABOVE POLITICS. BUT ADS RUNNING ACROSS THE STATE TELL A DIFFERENT STORY.

"Florida has one of America's most activist courts."

"Vote yes to retain Barbara Periente."

VOTERS DECIDE WHETHER JUSTICES SHOULD REMAIN ON THE BENCH.

BUT SURVEYS SHOW 90-PERCENT OF VOTERS DON'T EVEN UNDERSTAND THE PROCESS.

POLITICIZING JUDGES RACES-CKW

PETER - PAST ELECTIONS SHOW ONE IN FOUR VOTERS WILL LEAVE THE JUDICAL PART OF THE BALLOT BLANK.

Do they merit retention or don't they?

MARY EVANS IS THE INCOMING PRESIDENT OF THE LEE COUNTY BAR ASSOCIATION - AN ORGANIZATION THAT'S TRYING TO EDUCATE VOTERS ABOUT THEIR POWER TO KEEP JUDGES OR VOTE THEM OFF.

The opportunity for politicizing is there - I'd like to believe that's not what's going on though."

MERIT RETENTION STARTED IN THE 19-70'S. A WAY TO SHIELD JUSTICES FROM ELECTORAL POLITICS. BUT ALSO HOLD THEM ACCOUNTABLE.

But it's not entirely apolitical. The mere fact that voters vote to retain every 6 years, our FL supreme court justices, suggests that there is a political factor at play here."

YOU WON'T SEE A D OR R BEFORE THEIR NAMES. JUSTICES SHOW UP ON THE BALLOT AS NON-PARTISAN. DON'T TELL THAT TO SPECIAL INTEREST GROUPS WHO WANT CERTAIN OUTCOMES ON HOT-BUTTON ISSUES.

HERE'S A COMMERCIAL CLIP FROM A GROUP THAT CALLS THEMSELVES RESTORE JUSTICE 2012.

CAUGHT IN A NET OF CONFUSION -- CAPE CORAL NO LONGER CAN REVIEW DOCK, BOAT LIFT, OR SEAWALL PERMITS.

THE FEDS MUST CAST THE DECISION -- IN A PROCESS WHICH CAN TAKE SIX TO 18 MONTHS.

WE'VE LEARNED -- THE STUDY WHICH *COULD HELP REVERSE THE DECISION* WON'T BE READY UNTIL THE END OF THE YEAR -- LEAVING EVERYBODY WAITING.

"with almost 400 miles of water ways, canals define Cape Coral. Which is why some council members say any delay in repairing or replacing docks and seawalls threaten the city's future."

IN LETTERS OBTAINED BY NBC-2 -- COUNCIL MEMBER KEVIN MCGRAIL WRITES TO FLORIDA'S SENATORS --

"This is THE single most important and cost effective jobs producing support you can give our city at this time."

-- AND --

"It truly is business life and death critical to our Construction Industry in Cape Coral."

IN THE PAST YEAR AND A HALF -- THE CITY APPROVED 2400 PERMITS IN TYPICALLY 48-HOUR TURNAROUNDS.
