A crash on the interstate is causing delays in Covington

THOUSANDS STILL WITHOUT POWER — KELLY: HUNDREDS STILL MISSING, THOUSANDS WITHOUT POWER. THIS IS A WEEK AFTER HURRICANE IAN MADE LANDFALL. WHAT RESIDENTS ARE FACING AS THEY SEE THEIR PROPERTY FOR THE FIRST TIME. KEEPING KIDS HEALTHY. THERE IS A BIG EVENT AT CINCINNATI PUBLIC SCHOOLS. WHAT IS HAPPENING TODAY TO CATCH KIDS UP ON THEIR VACCINES. >> IT IS NOT AS CHILLY THIS MORNING, BUT SOME OF THESE TEMPERATURES ARE WHERE WE ARE GOING TO BE THROUGH THE WEEKEND. I AM TRACKING THE COLD FRONT THAT WILL HAVE YOU BUNDLING UP FOR THE FOOTBALL GAMES. >> THIS IS WLWT NEWS 5 TODAY, LEADING THE WAY. KELLY: IT IS THURSDAY MORNING, SO EVERYBODY GETTING IN THAT WE CAN FEEL. YOU ARE NOT THERE YET BUT YOU CAN START TO EMBRACE IT. AS YOU EMBRACE IT, GRAB A WARMER COAT BECAUSE IT IS GOING TO BE COOLER. I AM MAKING PLANS IN MY HEAD. I’M WHAT YOU TRY TO WALK OVER AND ENJOY THE SEVEN DAYS WILL BE HAVE IT, THE SUNSHINE. WE ARE GOING TO START TO NOTICE CLOUDS. RANDI: CLOUDS ARE DRIFTING IN THIS MORNING. IT WILL GET MURKY LOOKING THIS AFTERNOON BUT WE WILL MAKE IT TO THE MID-70’S. HERE COME THE CLOUDS. STEP TWO, COLD AIR WILL COME IN INTO TOMORROW. RIGHT NOW, CHECKING OUT THESE TEMPERATURES, NOT BAD. 47 DEGREES IN DELHI. IT IS 55 IN OXFORD. THIS FEELS BETTER THAN THE LAST TWO MORNINGS PARTLY BECAUSE CLOUDS HAVE ROLLED IN AND ACTED LIKE A BLANKET. NOT AS CHILLY TO START AND WE WILL MAKE IT INTO THE 70’S THIS AFTERNOON, SO YOUR HOUR-BY-HOUR FORECAST SHOWS UPPER 40’S FOR THE MORNING DRIVE. LUNCHTIME, WE ARE PROBABLY IN THE MID 60’S. WE WILL MAKE IT TO THE MID-70’S THIS AFTERNOON. LIVE RADAR SHOWS CLOUDS HAVE ROLLED IN OVER THE LAST FEW HOURS. IF YOU LOOK AT SOUTHEASTERN INDIANA, THERE IS POTENTIAL FOR A QUICK PASSING SPRINKLE THIS MORNING. THIS IS THE FIRST OF TWO LINES OF RAIN THAT WILL OPEN US UP TO THAT COOLER AIR FOR THE WEEKEND. I HAVE THE TIMELINE FOR THAT COMING UP. IT HAS BEEN MORE THAN A WEEK SINCE HURRICANE IAN SLAMMED INTO FLORIDA, AND FOR MANY THE IMPACTS ARE OVERWHELMING. RESIDENTS DEALING WITH NOT ONLY DAMAGE TO HOMES AND BUSINESSES BUT ALSO POWER OUTAGES AND LOST LOVED ONES. MEREDITH STUTZ HERE WITH WHERE THINGS STAND THIS MORNING. MANY SURVIVORS ARE STILL IN THE DARK, RELYING ON GENERATORS AND MORE THAN 230 CUSTOMERS STILL HAVE NO — STILL HAVE NO POWER. WHILE WATER FROM THE HURRICANE SWAMPED HOMES AND BUSINESSES, RESIDENTS AND MORE THAN 22 COUNTIES DO NOT HAVE CLEAN WATER. AT LEAST 120 FIVE DEATHS HAVE BEEN REPORTED. OF THEM, 40 STORM VICTIMS HAVE DROWNED, LISTED AS POSSIBLE IN THEIR DEATHS. THE DEATH TOLL HAS BEEN INCREASING AS RESCUE CREWS COMB THROUGH THE RUBBLE FOR SIGNS OF LIFE. IT IS UNCLEAR HOW MANY PEOPLE ARE UNACCOUNTED FOR THIS MORNING. >> JUST AN OLD TRAILER. YOU DO NOT REALIZE HOW NICE IT WAS UNTIL IT IS GONE. >> IT IS JUST GONE, DONE. FOR THE FIRST TIME, MANY PEOPLE ARE ABLE TO RETURN TO SANIBEL ISLAND TO SEE THE DAMAGE. WITH THE CAUSEWAY DESTROYED, THEY HAD TO GET THERE BY BOAT. >> WE LIPS DOWN THIS WAY. IT HAS BEEN FOREVER CHANGED. THE HOUSE IS GONE. >> TOTAL DEVASTATION, TOTALLY CHANGED. IT IS JUST HEARTBREAKING TO SEE THIS. PUBLIC SCHOOLS IN COLLIER COUNTY ARE SET TO OPEN WITH THE HELP OF MORE THAN 800 SUBSTITUTE TEACHERS. 22% OF THE DISTRICT TEACHERS LIVE IN A HARD-HIT COUNTY, BUT IT IS UNLIKELY ALL OF THE 50,000 STUDENTS WILL RETURN. SEVERAL FAMILIES SHOWED UP TO A SCHOOL DONATION DRIVE YESTERDAY TO SAY GOODBYE TO TEACHERS. THEIR HOMES ARE DESTROYED AND THEY SAID THEY MUST MOVE. SO MUCH THAT YOU DO NOT THINK OF INITIALLY. WE HAVE COMPLETE COVERAGE OF THE DEVASTATION ON OUR WEBSITE. YOU CAN ALSO FIND THAT ON OUR MOBILE APP. LEADING THE WAY WITH BREAKING NEWS. A MASS SHOOTING HAS LEFT DOZENS DEAD AT A CHILDCARE CENTER IN NORTHEASTERN THAILAND. A GUNMAN KILLED AT LEAST 30 PEOPLE BEFORE TAKING HIS OWN LIFE. AT LEAST — CHILDREN AND A TEACHER ARE AMONG THE DEAD. HE ALSO USED KNIVES IN THIS ATTACK. WE WILL UPDATE YOU AS WE GET MORE ON AIR AND ONLINE. KEEPING YOUR KIDS HEALTHY BY THROWING A BALL — A FALL FESTIVAL. CINCINNATI PUBLIC SCHOOLS AND CHILDREN’S HOSPITAL HOLDING A SERIES OF VACCINE CLINICS BUT MAKING SURE THIS IS SOMETHING KIDS ACTUALLY WANT TO COME TO. MEGAN MITCHELL HERE WITH DETAILS OF THE EVENT. IT ALL KICKS OFF TONIGHT. YES, A VERY COOL EVENT. HAPPY TO SEE IT HAPPENING THIS FALL. CINCINNATI PUBLIC SCHOOLS KNOWS HOW MANY PEOPLE WERE AFFECTED FROM COVID AND STUDENTS AND FAMILIES WERE APPEARING THIS IS A WAY FOR THEM TO MAKE SURE KIDS STAY IN THE CLASSROOM INTO THE WINTER MONTHS. THIS PROGRAM IS CALLED VAX ACROSS CINCY. THE IDEA IS TO GET STUDENTS CAUGHT UP ON VACCINES, COVID AND THE FLU. WE ARE TOLD THIS IS A WAY TO PROVIDE COMMUNITY BUILDING AND OFFER VACCINES AND HEALTH INFORMATION IN ONE PLACE. TODAY THEY ARE HOSTING A FALL FEST AT WINTON HILLS ACADEMY. >> WE WANT OUR STUDENTS, FAMILY, AND STAFF TO BE HEALTHY AND PROVIDE AS MANY OPPORTUNITIES AS WE CAN FOR THAT. WE WANT THE VACCINES TO BE EASILY ACCESSIBLE TO OUR STUDENTS SO THEY CAN LEARN BETTER. A HEALTHY STUDENT IS ONE WHO LEARNS BETTER. MEGAN: THE CLINICS ARE FREE AND OPEN TO THE COMMUNITY. TONIGHT’S IS FROM 5:00 TO 7:00 P.M.. KELLY: THERE ARE SEVERAL BEING HELD. IT IS EASIER FOR FAMILIES TO HAVE THESE CLOSER TO THEM, SO WHAT ELSE IS ON TAP? MEGAN: THIS IS WHAT I LOVE. THIS PAST MARCH, THEY HELD A BIG NOSE BACK — A BENGALS THEMED ONE. ICKY WOODS — ICKEY WOODS WAS THERE. THEY ARE HOLDING A SUPERHERO THANKSGIVING ONE AND THEY WILL END IT ALL WITH A HOLIDAY >> >> THEMED VACCINES IN DECEMBER. IT IS GREAT THAT THEY SPREAD THEM OUT. WE KNOW FAMILIES ARE BUSY, SO GREAT INFORMATION. THAT WILL ALSO BE ON OUR WEBSITE AS SOON AS WE GET ALL — AS WE GET ALL THE INFORMATION. A GIRL RUSHED TO THE HOSPITAL AFTER TWO DOGS ATTACKED HER. POLICE SAY IT WAS THE DOGS’ OWNER THAT ORDERED THEM TO DO THIS. >> MY NEIGHBOR JUST SET HER PIT BULLS ON MY CHILDREN. >> A SCARY CALL, THE WOMAN PLEADING FOR HELP, SAYING HER SIX-YEAR-OLD WAS MAULED BY THE DOG. THE CALLER SAYS HER KIDS WERE OUTSIDE AND SAW THEIR NEIGHBOR, CASSIE THIERAUF, DOING DRUGS WITH ANOTHER PERSON. COURT PAPERS REVEAL THE KID’S MOTHER TOOK VIDEO OF THIERAUF, THEN WENT INSIDE TO CALL 911. ON THE PHONE, THE CALLS INTERRUPTED WITH SCREAMING. >> WHAT? WHAT HAPPENED? HER DOGS ARE OUTSIDE PURE SHE JUST LET THEM LOOSE ON MY KIDS. KELLY: THE CALLER RUNS OUTSIDE, FINDING HER SIX-YEAR-OLD BEING ATTACKED. POLICE SHARED PICTURES OF THE DOGS. THE WOMAN CLAIMS THIERAUF WAS WATCHING AND NOT STOPPING THE DOGS. THE GIRL TELLING POLICE THIERAUF LET THE DOGS OUT OF THE FRONT DOOR AND SAID, “GO GET THEM.” THIERAUF DENIES LETTING THE DOGS OUT. BOTH WERE SEIZED BY THE WARREN COUNTY DOG WARDEN. THIERAUF IS SET TO APPEAR IN COURT LATER TODAY. MAKING THE STREETS SAFER IN CINCINNATI. CITY COUNCIL PASSED A NEW ORDINANCE GIVING THEM THE ABILITY TO MAKE PEDESTRIAN SAFETY CHANGES IN REAL TIME, PROVIDING HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS TO A NEW PEDESTRIAN SAFETY CREW. MAYOR PUREVAL SAYS THE MONEY FOR NEW WORKERS AND RESOURCES WILL BE AVAILABLE FOR CRITICAL AREAS IN OUR CITY IN NEED OF SAFETY IMPROVEMENTS. THE MOVE COMES AS MORE CRASHES AROUND CINCINNATI INVOLVE PEDESTRIANS AND BIKES. ONE COUNCILMEMBER SAYS IT WILL TAKE MORE THAN THIS TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE. >> IN THIS CITY, THE RECKLESS, IRRESPONSIBLE BEHAVIOR WE ARE SEEING WHEN IT COMES TO DRIVERS IS NOT ACCEPTABLE. AS MUCH AS WE ARE DOING HERE TO TRY TO MAKE SURE PEDESTRIANS ARE SAFE, I’M ASKING EVERYBODY WHO COMES THROUGH THIS GREAT CITY TO BE RESPONSIBLE WHEN YOU HAVE THE PRIVILEGE OF OPERATING A MOTOR VEHICLE. KELLY: EVERYONE VOTED IN FAVOR OF THE NEW PASSION SAFETY ORDINANCE. THIS MORNING, HOW SAFE IS YOUR VOTE? IT IS THE QUESTION ON THE MINDS OF MANY AMERICANS AFTER REPORTS AND CLAIMS OF FRAUD FOLLOWING THE 2020 ELECTION. LOCAL ELECTION OFFICIALS IN OHIO AND KENTUCKY SAY OUR SYSTEMS ARE SECURE, BUT CONVINCING VOTERS IS MORE CHALLENGING. THE DEADLINE TO REGISTER FOR THE MIDTERM, LESS THAN A WEEK AWAY. THE OHIO SECRETARY OF STATE HAS A MESSAGE FOR YOU IF YOU ARE CONCERNED ABOUT VOTER FRAUD. >> THEY SHOULD REPORTED TO US SO OUR ELECTION INTEGRITY GROUP CAN LOOK INTO IT. THERE IS NOT SYSTEMIC, WIDESPREAD, MASSIVE FRAUD OCCURRING IN OHIO. >> LIKE OHIO, KENTUCKY REQUIRES AN APPLICATION BEFORE WE SEND OUT A BALLOT. WE REQUIRE THE VOTER TO PROVE IDENTITY. >> TUESDAY IS THE DAY TO REMEMBER. YOU NEED TO REGISTER BY THEN IF YOU WANT TO VOTE IN NOVEMBER. HAMILTON COUNTY SAYS IT WILL START TRAINING POLL WORKERS MONDAY BUT NEEDS 300 MORE POLL WORKERS BEFORE ELECTION DAY. WE ARE COMMITTED TO GETTING READY FOR ELECTION DAY. WE ARE HOSTING A SERIES OF DEBATES, STARTING NEXT WEEK ON OCTOBER 12. OHIO’S DISTRICT ONE RACE BETWEEN STEVE CHABOT AND GREG LANDSMAN. THAT WILL BE OUR FIRST DEBATE. OCTOBER 17, WE WILL HOST A DEBATE BETWEEN BRAD WENSTRUP AND SAMANTHA MEADOWS FOR OHIO’S SECOND DISTRICT. THE NEXT DAY, ON OCTOBER 18, WE WILL FOCUS ON OHIO’S EIGHTH DISTRICT AS WARREN DAVIDSON GOES HEAD-TO-HEAD WITH VANESSA ENOCH. THE MICHAEL SPECHT — BENGALS BACK IN PRIME TIME AND WHO DEY NATION READY TO CHEER THEM ON. COMING UP, THE SHOW SUPPORT ON A WESTCHESTER BUILDING. >> NEXT, WE WILL TELL YOU HOW YOU CAN BRING LIGHT TO THE DARKNESS OF CANCER AND HOW YOU CAN CELEBRATE AND HONOR THOSE AFFECTED BY CANCER AND HELP MAKE A DIFFERENCE. KELLY: WE ARE EXCITED ABOUT THEKELLY: BENGALS GAME. THEY ARE GEARING UP FOR ANOTHER PRIMETIME SHOWDOWN. RIGHT NOW, THEY ARE TIED WITH THE BROWNS AND RAVENS FOR THE TOP SPOT. STAR QUARTERBACK JOE BURROW KNOWS HE WILL HAVE HIS WORK CUT OUT FOR HIM, TAKING ON A RAVENS DEFENSE THAT HAS ONE OF THE BEST CORNER DUOS IN THE NFL, LEADING THE LEAGUE IN TAKEAWAYS, FORCING 10 IN FOUR GAMES. BALTIMORE’S PAST DEFENSE GAVE UP AN AVERAGE OF 315 PASSING YARDS PER GAME, SO THAT CAN WORK IN OUR FAVOR. HE KNOWS BALTIMORE COULD PUT UP A FIGHT, BUT AT THE END THE DAY HE SAYS HE IS READY FOR THE MATCHUP. >> WE KNOW WHAT KIND OF TEAM THEY ARE. IT IS GOING TO BE A TOUGH DIVISIONAL RIVAL GAME AND THAT IS PART OF FOOTBALL. THAT IS WHAT I LOVE ABOUT THE GAME. I HAVE A LOT OF FRIENDS ON THAT TEAM THAT I WENT TO COLLEGE WITH AND PLAYED WITH. IT IS ALL LOVE AT THE END OF THE DAY, BUT WILL BE INTENSE. KELLY: BEFORE THE BIG GAME, ONE BENGAL HAS A REASON TO CELEBRATE. KICKER EVAN “MONEY MAC” MCPHERSON HAS OFFICIALLY BEEN NAMED THE AFC SPECIAL TEAMS PLAYER OF THE WEEK FOR HIS PERFORMANCE IN THE WIN AGAINST THE DOLPHINS. HE WAS CLUTCH IN THE FOURTH CORNER — FOURTH QUARTER. WITH ABOUT SIX MINUTES LEFT, A NICE 57 YARDER, WHICH TIED THE FIFTH LONGEST KICK IN THE NFL THIS SEASON. SO FAR THIS YEAR, HE HAS 9-11 ON FIELD GOAL ATTEMPTS. THOSE TWO THAT WERE MISSED, THAT WAS A CRAZY GAME ANYWAY, SO WE WILL NOT WORRY ABOUT THAT. A NEW MURAL IN WESTCHESTER SPREADING THE BENGALS SPIRIT AND HOPING TO ENERGIZE THE FAN BASE. HASSAN QURESHI GREW UP IN THE WEST CHESTER-MASON AREA. HIS FAMILY MOVED TO THE UNITED STATES FROM PAKISTAN. THAT IS WHEN HE BECAME A FAN. HE WANTED TO LEARN MORE ABOUT THE GAME. HE HAS BEEN THROUGH THE UPS AND DOWNS WITH THE BENGALS. WHEN HIS FRIEND ASKED HIM TO PASTE — PAINT A MURAL ON THE SIDE OF HIS BUSINESS, HE KNEW WHERE TO DRAW ON RATION. >> ABOUT NINE YEARS OLD, I DID NOT KNOW MUCH ABOUT FOOTBALL. THE BENGALS WERE MY FOOT — FIRST LOOK INTO AMERICAN FOOTBALL. I REMEMBER SEEING THEM PLAY AND LEARNING BUT THE GAME SLOWLY THROUGH FRIENDS WERE THE GAME ITSELF AND GOING THROUGH THE UPS AND DOWNS WITH THE PLAYOFFS. WHEN THEY LAST EURO TO THE SUPER BOWL, I WAS LIKE, I HAVE TO CREATE SOMETHING. I WAS INSPIRED. KELLY: QURESHI FOCUSES MAINLY ON CANVAS ART AND NOT MANY MURALS, CERTAINLY NOT ONES THIS BIG. HE SAID HE MADE THE JERSEY NUMBER 513 TO INCLUDE THE ENTIRE FAN BASE AND CITY IN THE EXCITEMENT OF FOOTBALL SEASON IN CINCINNATI. INCREDIBLY TALENTED GUY IF YOU WANT TO GO TO HIS WEBSITE. I WILL PUT IT OUT ON SOCIAL MEDIA. GETTING READY FOR SUNDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL, OUR HALF HOUR SPECIAL PREVIEW IN THE MATCHUP AIRS TONIGHT AT 7:30. KICKOFF IS SUNDAY NIGHT AT 8:20 FOLLOWED BY THE POSTGAME. A LOT OF PEOPLE GET AMPED UP TO HEAR ABOUT HOW PLAYERS FEEL, SO A LOT TO LOOK FORWARD TO THIS WEEKEND AS WELL AS THE COUNT DOWN TO LINK — BLINK IN CINCINNATI. IN LESS THAN A WEEK, DOWNTOWN CINCINNATI WILL BE COVERED IN COLOR. OTHER CITIES DO NOT GET TO EXPERIENCE THIS. THERE WILL BE 101 DISPLAYS ACROSS MORE THAN 30 CITY BLOCKS. TODAY, ORGANIZERS WILL COME TOGETHER TO GIVE YOU A SNEAK PEEK AT THE EXTRAVAGANZA. IT KICKS OFF AT 9:00 THIS MORNING. WE WILL HAVE THAT COVERED FOR YOU. KEEP IT HERE FOR OUR LIBEL — LIVE REPORT. SO MANY PEOPLE WERE DOWNTOWN LAST TIME, SO HOPEFULLY THERE IS A PLAN FOR TRAFFIC PATTERNS AS BEST AS THEY CAN TO CONTROL THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE IN DOWNTOWN CINCINNATI. >> THAT MIGHT BE A QUESTION TO ASK TODAY. >> WE HAD THE DOG AND I WAS LIKE, THIS BRIDGE IS MOVING. THIS IS A MOVING BRI
