the governor has declared a state of emergency. fema will be on the ground here tomorrow. and the white house says they are ready to support the community as needed. david? >> david: we're thinking about all those families tonight. victor, thank you. let's get right to wabc meteorologist lee goldberg here tonight, tracking these storms into the night, and the threat again tomorrow. hi, lee. >> david, the severe threat has definitely shifted south and east, taking aim at texas this evening. we've had two tornado reports west of san angelo. big storms headed toward waco right now. severe thunderstorm watches extend into the tennessee valley. strong storms near little rock and southern tennessee and central new york, syracuse having big storms after hitting 92. storms tomorrow from sioux falls to memphis. the real intense zone across nebraska and parts of kansas. tomorrow, the storms we're watching tonight make to it the i-95 corridor. could be a storied morning, and they switch to the mid-atlantic in the afternoon. unfortunately, more storms for

"the new york times" publishing images of a pine tree flag

outside alito's new jersey beach home last summer, with the words "appeal to heaven." like the upside down flag, the pine tree flag was carried by some pro-trump supporters on january 6th as the capitol was attacked. tonight, it's unclear who allegedly placed the flag, and what kind of statement was being made. the flag, which dates back to the revolutionary war, has also been associated with christian nationalism. supreme court justices are supposed to avoid the appearance of political bias. and democrats argue alito has a conflict of interest and should recuse himself from two january 6th cases now before the high court, including one which will resolve whether president trump has immunity from prosecution. david, we reached out to the court and justice alito for comment on these new photos. so far, no response. >> david: pierre thomas at the court tonight. thank you, pierre. we have new and troubling images tonight from inside that passenger jet rocked by deadly turbulence.

dzafran azmir says there was very little time to react. >> the entire thing happened within the span of, like, less than ten seconds. >> reporter: the plane forced to land at bangkok's airport, with dozens injured. a british passenger, geoff kitchen, killed, traveling with his wife. at least 20 patients now in the icu, nine passengers requiring surgery. and david, there is strong evidence that severe clear air turbulence is increasing because of climate change. in fact, we know that it's up 55% in the north atlantic since 1979. david? >> david: gio benitez, thank you again tonight. now to the breaking news in the race for president, with some republicans still voting for nikki haley in late primaries. tonight, nikki haley and who she now says she'll vote for in november. and what she said just months ago on this. here's rachel scott. >> reporter: she once called donald trump a disaster. >> many of the same politicians who now publicly embrace trump privately dread him.
