watching a cluster of storms making their way through baltimore county and packing lightning. looking at the reports on twitter, it's bringing low visibility around areas of i-95 into areas of harford and two more lines back to the west. one that's scattered right now around i-81 and a stronger line that will move eastward. it's the stronger line i'm worried about that could bring heavy rain to our area between 9:00 and 11:00 p.m. this evening stepping into areas like montgomery and d.c., localized flooding and we could see more poor visibility too with the flooding taking place, we'll have more coming up. the federal government wants to know why people couldn't get through to 911 after last month's derecho. they opened an inquiry to investigate the outages. the 911 systems are run by verizon that says they lost power during the storm. several backups also failed. some towns lost their 911 systems for 48 hours. the review is part of a broad

celebrating with some friends at marvin's on that may day when this happened. they say brisbon was driving home along florida avenue when it happened. that's when he saw the suspect in an argument with another individual. that's when he stopped his car and got out to see if everything was all right. that's when they say the suspect stabbed brisbon in the neck. they say he tried to get in his car and drive to a hospital but that was not to be. brisbon collapsed in his car. the car crashed into a light pole. when medics first arrived at the scene they thought it was some sort of automobile accident. but when they looked closer, they realized it was a case of murder. now, dawkins is scheduled to be officially charged in this case in court tomorrow. live in southwest, pat collins,

affecting any other groups. and now, hiv, we all know i am packs everybody. >> the fda current policy bans any man who have said sex with other men since 1977, the beginning of the aids epidemic from donating blood. the fda says its policy is based on quote, well documented observations of a much higher pref lance and newly acquired infection among men who have had sex with men than in the general population. but today blood can in most instances be screened for hiv within days of infection. >> given the advances we've made and the integrity of most medical practices, i think it's fine. >> the fda is considering a pilot study on alternative deferral criteria that would permit blood and plasma donations by men who have had sex with other men but no decision has been made. many in the gay community say it
