LA TRUCK INTO HOME-PKG

A ride home from the hardware store took an unexpected turn for 18 year old axel Marino. He says he tried to avoid hitting a car making a left hand turn on Alabama ave--he says he slammed on his brakes and his tires locked up. He skid 131 feet---but not before hitting these trees, this house and trailer---and also hitting his head against the windshield. The crash caused more than $20,000 worth of damage to this home. Fortunately the tenant who lives here wasn't home at the time of the crash. But as soon as he found out what happened, he rushed back and parked his truck out front and slept out here all night to make sure no one would steal anything because he's fallen victim to a burglary before.

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

TRANQUIL TRAVELS ON WEDNESDAY

The day before Thanksgiving can at times be a traveling nightmare, but not this year. As we head into Thanksgiving eve much of the nation looks quiet. Of course that's good news because I know many of you will be heading out to feast and give thanks.

The one exception will be across the Pacific Northwest. If your travels take you to the states of Washington, Oregon, Idaho, or Montana check before you head out. Again, the rest of the nation will be just peachy.

In fact, as you begin preparing for your meal mother-nature will begin serving something of her own for us in southwest Florida - nice, crisp autumn air.

Why?

A series of cold fronts will roll through the south, and behind each front lays a touch of refreshing air. Oh, and these will be dry fronts so you need not to worry about rain for the next seven days!

Wednesday, Thanksgiving Day, Black Friday, and the holiday weekend will all be dry. We'll even pull out the sun!

THE LONGWORTHS, BOTH IN THEIR MID-THIRTIES, LIVED NEXT DOOR TO THE HOUSE THAT INVESTIGATORS BELIEVE WAS THE CENTER OF THE EXPLOSION. LATE MONDAY, CITY OFFICIALS MADE A STARTLING ANNOUNCEMENT.

sot, Gary, presser

at this time we are here to inform you that we are turning this into a criminal homicide investigation.

THE LONGWORTHS LIVED NEXT DOOR TO A HOUSE CO-OWNED BY JOHN SHIRLEY AND HIS EX-WIFE MONSERRATE SHIRLEY. ACCORDING TO THE ASSOCIATED PRESS,

MONSERRATE SAID HER BOYFRIEND HAD RECENTLY REPLACED THE THERMOSTAT ON A

MALFUNCTIONING FURNACE AT THE HOUSE. SHE AND HER BOYFRIEND WERE NOT AT HOME AT THE TIME OF THE BLAST.

LATE MONDAY NIGHT, THE COUPLE'S ATTORNEY RELEASED A STATEMENT WHICH READ, IN PART,

Monserrate Shirley and Mark Leonard watched in bewilderment the news report that the authorities are now treating the investigation as a criminal investigation as well as a causation search. The two remain horrified at the tragic events, destruction, and loss of lives that occurred. They have cooperated fully with various investigators and agencies on multiple occasions and have answered each and every question including speculation as to whether they may have been targeted by anyone.

clint:

if in fact investigators believe that explosion was intentional, as opposed to accidental, it was either targeted against the residents of that house, or targeted against the house itself, perhaps for insurance purposes or some other reason

ANIMALS GETTING SICK DURING THE HOLIDAY.

SOT: Laura Riordan, Florida Veterinary Referral Center "We see a fair amount of dietary indiscretion, meaning your animals eat things they shouldn't eat. Chocolate, fatty foods, decorations from the christmas tree, tinsel, plants can also be a problem during the holidays."

CAUSING BLOCKAGES IN THE STOMACH OR INFECTIONS THAT COULD KILL YOUR ANIMAL.

SOT: "That can be deadly if it's severe."

STU:

"AND IT STARTS HERE IN THE KITCHEN LAURA SAYS YOU NEED TO MAKE SURE YOU KEEP FATTY FOODS, OUT OF THE REACH OF YOUR PETS.

MAKE SURE THEY DONT GET AHOLD OF TURKEY OR CHICKEN BONES, which can cause your pets to choke.

KEEP YOUR TRASH TIED UP.

AND MAKE SURE YOU HAVE A PLAN TO KEEP YOUR ANIMAL FROM RUNNING OUTSIDE AND INTO THE STREET.

IF YOU'RE TRAVELING WITH YOUR PET, MAKE SURE THEY'RE COMFORTABLE. GET THEM USED TO THE CAR. OR ASK YOUR VET FOR SAFE MEDICATION.

AND EXPERTS SAY, IF YOUR ANIMAL GETS SICK, MAKE SURE TO GET THEM HELP.

SOT: "I think the holidays are a time when animals get sick and people don't want to take them to the vet because it's the holidays, but they need to remember if they're sick, they need to be seen by someone."

LIVE TAG:

WITH PEOPLE ALREADY DECORATING FOR CHRISTMAS, LAURA SAYS IF YOU HAVE A YOUNG ANIMAL, YOU MAY WANT TO DO WITHOUT THE TINSEL, AND POSSIBLY GO WITHOUT A TREE.

THOSE PELVIC FLOOR MUSCLES SUPPORT THE UTERUS, BLADDER, SMALL INTESTINE AND RECTUM. STRENGTHENING THEM CAN MAKE THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN GETTING TO THE BATHROOM OR NOT. FOR YEARS WOMEN HAVE BEEN TOLD TO USE KEGEL EXERCISES. BUT IT'S EASIER SAID THAN DONE.

FORECAST-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.

A canopy of low clouds will make for a pretty cloudy start to our Tuesday morning, but these clouds should begin to break up some by midday and through the afternoon.

While the clouds stick around this morning, temperatures will be quite cool and slow to rise. Temperatures should hover around the mid to upper 50s through the first half of the morning before gradually climbing into the mid to upper 60s by midday.

Once the clouds break up this afternoon and sunshine starts mixing in, we'll start to warm up pretty quickly with daytime highs projected to reach the mid to upper 70s.

We'll keep a few patchy clouds in the forecast tonight, but we shouldn't be nearly as cloudy as last night. Meanwhile, temperatures will be on the cool side yet again as lows drop into the mid to upper 50s.

Wednesday will be another transition day across Southwest Florida as another cool, dry air mass begins to settle in. As this next batch of cool air starts to push our way, some clouds will likely stream overhead, making for a partly cloudy day. A strong northerly wind will also develop through the day with gusts probably getting as high as 20 mph. Overall, Wednesday should be a pretty comfortable day with highs in the mid to upper 70s; just prepare for a breezy day with a few clouds mixing in at times.

Once our reinforcing shot of cool air arrives Wednesday night, the stage will be set for a pretty refreshing and delightful Thanksgiving Day. It will be one of those days when you open the windows and take in the cool fresh air. Daytime temperatures should only reach the mid 70s, and humidity levels will also be very low.

You may want to close the windows Thursday and Friday morning, however, because temperatures will be a little on the chilly side at night and early in the morning. Temperatures on Thanksgiving morning will start out in the low to mid 50s, and temperatures early Friday will be a few notches cooler as many places get down to the low 50s and upper 40s.

Black Friday is look bright and sunny. Daytimes highs will reach the mid 70s, and we won't have to deal with any rain.
