ALMOST 1 IN 5 CYBER MONDAY CONSUMERS USED A SMART PHONE

OR TABLET TO SHOP YESTERDAY.AND SALES MADE FROM THOSE DEVICES NEARLY DOUBLED FROM A

YEAR AGO.ACCOUNTING FOR 13 PERCENT OF ALL ONLINE SALES.

OFTEN, THOSE CYBER SHOPPERS ARE PURCHASING ITEMS THEY'VE ALREADY

CHECKED OUT AT PHYSICAL RETAILERS.

IT'S A PHENOMENON KNOWN AS 'SHOWROOMING" THAT THREATENS BRICK AND MORTAR STORES.

"Retailers are going to have to start thinking about other ways to entertain their customers and get them into

their stores."

BUT SHORT TERM, RETAILERS BOTH ONLINE AND ON THE GROUND ARE HOPING THE LURE OF BARGAINS

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

WARM AND DRY WEATHER

The last time we saw any measurable rain was November 6th….and it doesn't appear there will be any significant rain any time soon around southwest Florida. A front is moving across the northern part of the state this evening and will only scare up some clouds down here. First Alert Doppler Radar remains quiet tonight as the low temperatures drop off, slowly, into the 60's by tomorrow morning. The forecast for Wednesday still looks good; however, there will be some scattered clouds throughout the day. You can also enjoy a fair amount of sunshine tomorrow as the high temperatures top out above 80 degrees once again. Forecast models still tell the story of warm afternoons and pleasant evenings for several more days.

It looks like another weak weather system will cross the area late Friday / early Saturday with a few clouds and very little, if any, rain showers.

FLORIDA HOMEOWNERS COULD BE LOSING OUT ON HUNDREDS IF NOT THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS BECAUSE OF A FLAW ON AN INSURANCE FORM.

A JUDGE RULED THE WIND MITIGATION FORMS THAT INSURERS USE WHEN INSPECTING A HOME ARE INVALID BECAUSE THEY DON'T INCLUDE A SEPARATE DISCOUNT FOR GARAGES.

NBC2'S KELLY CRESWELL IS LIVE IN THE STUDIO TO EXPLAIN WHAT THIS MEANS TO YOU.

CITIZENS INSURANCE ISSUES-PLASMA

HOMEOWNERS WHO PUT HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS INTO MAKING SURE THEIR HOME CAN WITHSTAND A HURRICANE MAY NOT BE GETTING THEIR FULL WIND-MITIGATION DISCOUNTS.

CITIZENS INSURANCE ISSUES-VO

PROPERTY INSURERS USE THESE FORMS TO CALCULATE DISCOUNTS FOR HOMEOWNERS---FOR EXAMPLE, IF THEY HAVE IMPACT RESISTANT GLASS WINDOWS AND HURRICANE-RESISTANT ROOFS---THEN THEY SAVE HUNDREDS IF NOT THOUSANDS ON THEIR PREMIUMS.

HOWEVER, THE PROBLEM COMES WITH THE GARAGE DOOR.

CITIZENS INSURANCE ISSUES-SOTVO

21.58.41 "what will probably come out of this is there will be a new form that will allow for that discount for the garage doors as long as the garage door is fortified even if the rest of the house isn't, you will probably still be entitled to a discount.

21.46.28 "hard to say who's going to really win on this whole thing in the end, but it looks like a good first step for homeowners in Florida.

"Rather than sitting down with lawmakers of both parties and working out an agreement, he's back on the campaign trail."

ON NOVEMBER 6TH, THE PRESIDENT WON PROOF THAT THE NATION WANTS A TAX HIKE ON THE RICH

SAYS THE WHITE HOUSE:

"The election was pretty conclusive about which path a majority of the Amercian people want to take."

DEMOCRATS COULD GET WHAT THEY WANT: THE RICH PAYING MORE THAN THEIR CURRENT 35%?? AND REPUBLICANS COULD GET WHAT THEY WANT. NO RETURN TO OLD TOP RATE OF ALMOST 40%

"Current law has on January 1st, the top rate going to 39.6. So, they raise it only to 37, that's a tax cut from current law. Republicans can brag about that. Democrats can say they got higher tax rates on the rich."

BUT SPENDING CUTS. MEDICARE REFORM. HAVE TO BE PART OF ANY DEAL TO AVOID THE CLIFF. REPUBLICANS INSIST. AND THE #2 DEMOCRAT IN THE SENATE SAYS.

Just seconds later this silver car comes crashing through the jewelry store,

destroying everything in its path, stopping in the exact spot where the boy

had been just a moment earlier.

Dad and storeowner Marion Harkleroad looked on in horror..

Marion Harkleroad - Dad - "I saw him kind of buckle back and he flew

backwards airborne.

21 year old brother Caleb was inside the store at the moment of impact.

Caleb Harkleroad - Nobody knew who was hurt or what was going on or what

happened. It was just chaos,"

Police sources say the driver was an 84 year old woman who mistakenly hit

the gas pedal instead of the brake while parking her car.

Marion Harkleroad - "By the time I got over my desk and got back to my feet,

my 21 year old son Caleb Harleroad had already reacted. I keep saying it

over and over but basically he is my hero. He got to my baby before I could

,"

Miraculously the toddler had landed in an area with no debris and was not

injured.

Caleb Harkleroad - Thankful to god the angels were here.
