jenna: things getting back to no out in washington, d.c.wer line plunging capitol hill into darkness. and forcing the white house to use a backup source. officials don't suspect foul play but what if it was? just how vulnerable is our nation's electricity grid? that's the question we're asking today to the former officer at the national security agency. and a cyber security expert. so colonel let me just ask with what happened yesterday and how it's described. it's being described as the failure of a simple piece of transmission equipment that caused the lights to go out in virtually every important and crucial department of government. how is that possible that that one simple failure can cause all of that? >> i would say poor planning. and what that shows is that the systems, the electrical systems that are supporting our key government institutions are not built with redundancy in mind. if you don't build a redundant power system you're looking for trouble like this. this appears to be a physical cause so it's a bit different than what c

we saw some sunshine in philadelphia, so we're 75 degrees, washington d.c. 79 richmond 78 degrees, so that's where we have the watches. new york city and our coast not in the watches because temperatures are in the 40's, so it's much more stable. so, this is what to expect tonight. we have a risk of scattered thunderstorms from now until midnight. the best chance of the severe weather would be until about 10 o'clock tonight. then the air mass will begin to cool off. but it will be moving from the southwest to the northeast and potentially severe with heavy downpours, lightning, hail and, yes, even the possibility of an isolated small tornado. i'll talk more about this and what's to come behind this system coming up in the full accuweather forecast. monica. >> thank you cecily. >>> staying out of the severe weather by checking in often at 6abc.com/weather. there you will find realtime storm tracker six radar scans from regional views all the way down to the very street where you live. >> in other news tonight a man shot in wilmington last week has died from his injuries. and police hav

[ applause ] >> thank you for coming tonight. i'd like to start to say it's a major honor to talk about my book in the ballroom of the anderson mansion. i'd like to start off talking about how this book came to be. initially i didn't want to write this book. i was writing for the newspaper monthly column. i was writing about all over the city and about people in dupont circle related to dupont circumstancescircle. i got a lot of positive feedback. i was writing more and more. eventually friends said you've already written a book on the triangle why don't you write one. i realized you can probably tell the somewhat adequate and accurate history of dupont circle by selecting certain people and events over time. not all of them but a string would give you a sense of the neighborhood over time. i decided i woul

we require aircraft that fly in the airspace around washington, d.c. and other large cities across the country to use transponders that broadcast basic information such as the type of aircraft its speed, direction and altitude. when radar defects those aircraft it picks up the transponder information and it displays it on an air traffic controller's radar screen. controllers can see all the flights in a specific area along with the i had buying information from each aircraft. anything that doesn't have a transponder shows up as an emergency representing a simple small dot on the radar screen and there are typically' many of them across a controller's radar screen. to assist controllers in focusing on safely managing air traffic we apply filters to the controller's radar to eliminate the vast majority of those small dots. safely managing air traffic is a controller's mission and they that without distraction. now, to support national and homeland security the paa shares a realtime unfiltered radar feed with our partners at the department of defense and
