00:00:27.640 --> 00:00:30.839
<v Speaker 1>the weekend. We will actually get back into the fifties

10
00:00:30.920 --> 00:00:34.320
<v Speaker 1>on Sunday, but we do have a few chilly days

11
00:00:34.359 --> 00:00:37.200
<v Speaker 1>to get through before that. Back to news now. At

12
00:00:37.240 --> 00:00:40.320
<v Speaker 1>Christmas morning tragedy. Two people are dead after a fire

13
00:00:40.399 --> 00:00:41.960
<v Speaker 1>breaks out at a home in a cushion.

14
00:00:42.000 --> 00:00:44.840
<v Speaker 3>Louise Stadie lives across the street and says that instead

15
00:00:44.880 --> 00:00:47.640
<v Speaker 3>of waking up to Santa coming down her chimney, she

16
00:00:47.759 --> 00:00:50.799
<v Speaker 3>woke up to firefighters pounding on her door. When she

17
00:00:50.880 --> 00:00:52.520
<v Speaker 3>looked outside.

18
00:00:52.079 --> 00:00:54.200
<v Speaker 4>I saw the ball of five.

19
00:00:54.439 --> 00:00:57.439
<v Speaker 3>Louis says. The flames took the lives of her longtime neighbors,

20
00:00:57.759 --> 00:01:01.920
<v Speaker 3>a devout, kind, married couple with two grown children. Another

21
00:01:02.039 --> 00:01:04.560
<v Speaker 3>adult was injured in the fire, and everyone else within

22
00:01:04.560 --> 00:01:07.120
<v Speaker 3>the multifamily home was displaced.

23
00:01:06.719 --> 00:01:08.519
<v Speaker 4>Known each other for almost forty years.

24
00:01:08.599 --> 00:01:13.319
<v Speaker 3>The whole neighborhood with just like an old community, very sweet,

25
00:01:13.359 --> 00:01:14.079
<v Speaker 3>gentle people.

26
00:01:15.480 --> 00:01:19.920
<v Speaker 1>That report from CBS News Boston's Penny Commit, a firefighter

27
00:01:20.040 --> 00:01:23.599
<v Speaker 1>was taken to the hospital. He is expected to recover.

28
00:01:24.159 --> 00:01:27.079
<v Speaker 1>The Essex DA's office believes a thirty year old woman

29
00:01:27.159 --> 00:01:30.280
<v Speaker 1>fell into a freezing lake in Beverly while walking her

30
00:01:30.319 --> 00:01:35.280
<v Speaker 1>dog on Christmas Eve. Her body found yesterday afternoon. Investigators

31
00:01:35.359 --> 00:01:38.879
<v Speaker 1>believe thirty year old Owen Cassosi was walking her dog

32
00:01:38.920 --> 00:01:42.280
<v Speaker 1>when she fell in and was unable to escape. The

33
00:01:42.359 --> 00:01:45.159
<v Speaker 1>area is said to be a popular dog walking spot.

34
00:01:45.439 --> 00:01:49.319
<v Speaker 1>Her dog was later found walking alone in Topsfield. There

35
00:01:49.359 --> 00:01:52.200
<v Speaker 1>will be a vigil for Owen later today in Danvers,

36
00:01:52.200 --> 00:01:55.120
<v Speaker 1>according to a post on social media from her family.

37
00:01:56.079 --> 00:02:00.359
<v Speaker 1>It's eleven oh two danger on New Hampshire's Mount Washington

38
00:02:05.719 --> 00:02:08.520
<v Speaker 1>and you're listening to actual sound from the mountain. A

39
00:02:08.639 --> 00:02:13.199
<v Speaker 1>natural avalanche taking place near Hillman's Highway. There were several

40
00:02:13.240 --> 00:02:15.599
<v Speaker 1>inches of snow and strong winds, according to the Mount

41
00:02:15.680 --> 00:02:19.560
<v Speaker 1>Washington Avalanche Center. The center we'll be making assessments about

42
00:02:19.599 --> 00:02:23.560
<v Speaker 1>future guidance when it comes to stability and risk potential.

43
00:02:24.159 --> 00:02:28.439
<v Speaker 1>A few neighborhoods in Quinsy may resemble skating rinks this morning.

44
00:02:28.479 --> 00:02:31.439
<v Speaker 1>After a water main break last night flooded out Hancock

45
00:02:31.560 --> 00:02:35.199
<v Speaker 1>and clived In. As a result, there was little or

46
00:02:35.199 --> 00:02:38.319
<v Speaker 1>no water pressure for residents and businesses in that area

47
00:02:38.400 --> 00:02:41.919
<v Speaker 1>on Christmas night. There were a few road closures in

48
00:02:42.000 --> 00:02:44.840
<v Speaker 1>the overnight hours in that area of Quinsy. It's unclear

49
00:02:44.879 --> 00:02:47.960
<v Speaker 1>this morning if things are all patched up. And speaking

50
00:02:48.000 --> 00:02:52.039
<v Speaker 1>of water, with the CDC reporting high levels of respiratory

51
00:02:52.120 --> 00:02:56.319
<v Speaker 1>illnesses in parts of the country, doctors are reminding people

52
00:02:56.400 --> 00:02:57.960
<v Speaker 1>to stay hihdrated.

53
00:02:57.520 --> 00:03:02.159
<v Speaker 4>Brink warm fluids, soups, frods, tease, you can try nasle

54
00:03:02.199 --> 00:03:04.560
<v Speaker 4>space for congestion and the honey is a big thing

55
00:03:04.560 --> 00:03:07.240
<v Speaker 4>that we've been doing for a sore throat or a cough,

56
00:03:07.479 --> 00:03:09.280
<v Speaker 4>but make sure you do not give it to anyone

57
00:03:09.360 --> 00:03:11.680
<v Speaker 4>under the age of one or infants, because they're too

58
00:03:11.719 --> 00:03:13.719
<v Speaker 4>young to develop that and it can make them sick.

59
00:03:14.000 --> 00:03:17.000
<v Speaker 4>And of course ibuprofin it's in a minifin our medications

60
00:03:17.000 --> 00:03:18.800
<v Speaker 4>that can help with body.

61
00:03:18.479 --> 00:03:22.919
<v Speaker 1>Aches and chills, and that's Doctor Neil Bovzar, New Hampshire

62
00:03:22.960 --> 00:03:25.520
<v Speaker 1>is one of the states seeing a significant increase in

63
00:03:25.639 --> 00:03:29.759
<v Speaker 1>respiratory illness. And now the four dawbz ACU weather forecast.

64
00:03:29.800 --> 00:03:32.719
<v Speaker 1>We're going to start out cloudy, but then we promise

65
00:03:32.800 --> 00:03:36.599
<v Speaker 1>it'll turn out mostly sunny. That's according to meteorologist Joe

66
00:03:36.680 --> 00:03:39.800
<v Speaker 1>Lundberg HIHS. Today thirty six, low forties on the Cape.

67
00:03:39.840 --> 00:03:41.960
<v Speaker 1>In the Islands, it's going to be clear skies but

68
00:03:42.039 --> 00:03:44.960
<v Speaker 1>cold tonight down to twenty two in the city teens

69
00:03:45.000 --> 00:03:48.840
<v Speaker 1>in those inland suburbs. Friday, mostly sunny, highs not far

70
00:03:48.919 --> 00:03:52.599
<v Speaker 1>from forty. Saturday, cloudy, but a bit of rain at

71
00:03:52.639 --> 00:03:55.400
<v Speaker 1>times that could freeze on some of the surfaces. Early

72
00:03:55.560 --> 00:03:58.039
<v Speaker 1>on Saturdays, if you can be out and about early,

73
00:03:58.960 --> 00:04:02.520
<v Speaker 1>expect for some ice see spots, especially in those inland areas.

74
00:04:02.520 --> 00:04:05.400
<v Speaker 1>But later on Sunday we'll see a high near forty,

75
00:04:05.479 --> 00:04:09.199
<v Speaker 1>mid forties for the Capan Islands. And then Sunday uh

76
00:04:09.360 --> 00:04:12.240
<v Speaker 1>cloudy with some rain and drizzle around, but we'll see

77
00:04:12.240 --> 00:04:17.000
<v Speaker 1>a high near fifty. Rain will become steadier and heavier

78
00:04:17.120 --> 00:04:22.000
<v Speaker 1>come Sunday night. And let's see, let's refresh the page here. Yeah,

79
00:04:22.040 --> 00:04:24.639
<v Speaker 1>we are still stuck at thirty two degrees in Boston.

80
00:04:24.720 --> 00:04:28.040
<v Speaker 1>Those clouds hanging on for now. It's eleven oh five.

81
00:04:28.279 --> 00:04:30.839
<v Speaker 1>When it comes to one of the biggest lottery games

82
00:04:30.839 --> 00:04:33.959
<v Speaker 1>in the country, we're not talking just millions anymore for

83
00:04:34.040 --> 00:04:39.040
<v Speaker 1>that jackpot prize. We're talking about billions. And no one

84
00:04:39.600 --> 00:04:42.560
<v Speaker 1>grabbed it on New Year's Eve, so that means you

85
00:04:42.680 --> 00:04:44.279
<v Speaker 1>still have another chance at it.

86
00:04:45.040 --> 00:04:48.360
<v Speaker 2>Mega Million's jackpot is now more than one billion dollars.

87
00:04:48.439 --> 00:04:51.199
<v Speaker 2>That is billion with a B, and that's because no

88
00:04:51.240 --> 00:04:54.639
<v Speaker 2>one matched all six numbers in the Christmas Eve drawing. Yes,

89
00:04:54.879 --> 00:04:57.399
<v Speaker 2>it is a big jackpot, but it's only the fifth

90
00:04:57.480 --> 00:05:00.680
<v Speaker 2>largest jackpot in the game's history. So if you'd like

91
00:05:00.759 --> 00:05:03.000
<v Speaker 2>to get in on the action, pay close attention to

92
00:05:03.040 --> 00:05:05.920
<v Speaker 2>those lottery tickets. You might have gotten his stocking stuffers.

93
00:05:06.199 --> 00:05:10.480
<v Speaker 2>The next drawing is Friday. CBS is Linda Kenyon. That

94
00:05:10.600 --> 00:05:15.040
<v Speaker 2>jackpot on Friday just over one point one billion one

95
00:05:15.160 --> 00:05:18.519
<v Speaker 2>time cash payout sits at five hundred and sixteen million.

96
00:05:18.959 --> 00:05:22.199
<v Speaker 2>Speaking of Lockett was a Christmas miracle in Minnesota this.

97
00:05:22.199 --> 00:05:26.480
<v Speaker 5>Past Monday was a day Annabelle Whalen won't soon forget. First,

98
00:05:26.600 --> 00:05:29.600
<v Speaker 5>she found an injured great gray owl on the ground

99
00:05:29.639 --> 00:05:31.199
<v Speaker 5>in two Harbards, Minnesota.

100
00:05:31.360 --> 00:05:33.360
<v Speaker 6>He had an eye injury, so I'm thinking that he

101
00:05:33.519 --> 00:05:35.920
<v Speaker 6>probably hit whatever vehicle it was head on.

102
00:05:36.199 --> 00:05:40.439
<v Speaker 5>Whalan dropped the owl off at Wildwoods, a wildlife rehabilitation

103
00:05:40.680 --> 00:05:44.519
<v Speaker 5>center in Duluth. Hours later, she rescued another owl from

104
00:05:44.519 --> 00:05:47.240
<v Speaker 5>the grill of a car in Duluth, but wild Woods

105
00:05:47.360 --> 00:05:50.199
<v Speaker 5>was closed for the day, so Whalan wrapped the owl

106
00:05:50.319 --> 00:05:52.839
<v Speaker 5>up in a blanket and created her over night in

107
00:05:52.879 --> 00:05:54.720
<v Speaker 5>a dark, quiet room in her home.

108
00:05:54.959 --> 00:05:58.720
<v Speaker 6>We got a little dog creek together with some blankets

109
00:05:58.720 --> 00:06:01.240
<v Speaker 6>in the bottom, and we kept You're in a spare bedroom.

110
00:06:01.439 --> 00:06:04.480
<v Speaker 5>Whelan says she cried happy tears when she saw the

111
00:06:04.519 --> 00:06:07.519
<v Speaker 5>album moving and awake the next morning when she took

112
00:06:07.519 --> 00:06:11.120
<v Speaker 5>it to Wild Woods. Helping two injured owls in one day,

113
00:06:11.399 --> 00:06:13.759
<v Speaker 5>it was a crazy day. I'm Mike Hampan.
