the main thunderstorm activity remaining in newcastle, delaware, likely to track north of lancaster asnorth of cecil county as well. so not much activity in the state. clouds are picking up. humid conditions, that's for sure. across the east coast things are more active. we have a stoppled front over the -- stalled front over the great lakes. just warm and muggy, maybe a stray storm north and east. we'll start off with muggy sunshine but things change rapidly. we'll have more on that coming up. >>> all new at 5:30, fbi agents swarmed an incoming flight in new jersey after passengers claimed he had poisoned everyone onboard. ful low passengers were labor to restrain the man until it landed. this is the latest in a string of bizarre scares in the air. >> reporter: it's not the way these passenger expected to arrive in denver. take a look at the cell phone, a bomb squad, firefighters and police stormed the plane after the man claimed he had a backpack. >> their eyes were wide and jaws were dropped. >> reporter: he was sitting across the aisle from the unruly passenger and described how th

you see bridge creek towards newcastle. yes, over toward washington and noble lloyd, noble center there. >> this is local coverage from kfor, oklahoma affiliate. i want to go now to janet shamly who is in an underground shelter at the oklahoma city our port. what can you tell us how things are there at the airport? and how are people doing. >> reporter: well, we are lucky to have connection and you might lose me. there are about 1200 people under ground be a basic lay shelter for us now. but usually a walk way from the parking lot that connects to the terminal here at oklahoma city airport. after doing the news, i came here and i got to the airport and sirens soundeddownstairs. they set to put our hand over our heads. and stay away from windows. there a window i can see out of. we are getting hail. heavy, heavy rain. dark skies. lightning. it looks like a hurricane was pushing against the window, but that tapered off some. still they are asking everyone to stay underneath here. people are desperately trying to get signals o

. >> reporter: scientists at newcastle university are among the researchers looking into three-parent in vitro fertilization techniques. the goal is to create genetically modified embryos using healthy donor dna so mothers don't pass on incurable diseases to their children. mitochondrial disease causes rare inherited conditions including fatal heart problems, brain disorders and multiple sclerosis. >> the recent treatment and cure for patients with mitochondrial disease and what we are trying to do is prevent the transmission from mother to child. >> reporter: one technique involves swapping faulty genetic material for healthy material between the mother's egg and donor egg. britain's chief medical officer says the research should go forward. >> we're not touching the nuclear dna which comes from both parents. >> reporter: critics say creating a baby from the dna of three people is unethical. >> it's crossing the line that many, many experts in ethics and genetics and scientists generally are very concerned about. >> reporter: mitochondrial disease affects about one in 6500 children a

i knew the strength of that wedge tornado coming out of newcastle, turning right a little bit into mooreeople were in the way. i know people that were living there. i know people whose houses don't exist anymore. we went to see a couple. i couldn't even find the streets that i used to visit them on. i couldn't find the old house. it was nothing. so, you know, i want to make people make better decisions. i give you information, i give them information so that they can protect their family and do the best for themselves. i can't save lives. but i can make you make better decisions by giving you the information you need and the tools you need to save your own lives or at least save your family's health. >> very well-stated. chad myers. you have been covering severe weather for years. i'd like you to join me in this next conversation, okay? let's talk to reed timmer, storm chaser. he had a harrowing experience on the road. he joins us from union city, oklahoma. reed, chad and i both going to interview you here, just talk to you. not really an interview. how are you doing? >> i'm tired. it's

about that, we're still trying to get things cleaned up and helping those communities around moore, newcastle, shawnee, bethel acres that got hit last week. we're getting a lot of people on the ground, which is good. i have to believe some of these people are getting pretty worn from having so much to do. >> sure. their hearts have to be breaking at the fact they were already cleaning up to begin with and other storms coming through the area just last night. let's talk for a moment about last night, the fact so many people as you mentioned headed to their cars during the evening rush hour. how much preparation did the folks have there were tornadoes on the way? >> caller: we actually started very early, earlier in the week, just telling people there were going to be a couple days the weather conditions would be ripe for some severe storms. yesterday morning we were warning people, just watch the weather today. the weather has been just different. we've had clouds and sunshine and then within say an hour, it can change really quickly. i was out on the highway around the moore area driving, had

likely on the ground of newcastle. this likely has a tornado on the ground. and it is a large circulation out on the western side of union city. and you see that curlily cue there near tuttle as well. that is the one emily had a weak tornado with. also a weak tornado near tuttle. and cogar, a strong central location there as well. so one, two, three and four. all four are dangerous and have tornado warnings with them. you can clearly see the hook by the gm plant. go, mark. >> we have a wind shift going south and east to almost due east now. it comes up to the tinker exit on 240. near the gm plant. just past the heart hospital as well. so now going from west to east. towards circulation. straight down the road. almost parked on 240. >> on the phone again from oklahoma city. latest from jay gray who is in oklahoma city. jay, we checked in with you at the beginning of the hour. darkness fell over the city. what is happening now? >> just much darker. heavy rain intensified. hail mixed in at this point. it is completely black now. that's one of the problems that w

but also in little ax and newcastle and oklahoma city, the other areas. and without the tireless efforts of the first responders from all these communities and the surrounding area, we simply wouldn't have gotten through the horror of the experience. the communities in question are extraordinarily close knit and sadly are quite experienced in this kind of activity. my hometown of moore's actually been hit by six tornados in 15 years. including two f-5's, the highest category. one of the tornados in question in this latest incident was the largest ever recorded, 2 1/2 miles across. with wind funnel speedses much up to 295 -- speeds of up to 295 miles per hour. so extraordinary to behold. as i understand it right now, as best we can estimate, there are no current needs for additional disaster funding. but the possibility obviously of other disasters and hurricanes, fires, earthquakes, what have you, always raises the possibility that the resources that are available will be strained and i want to make it very apparent that if that were to happen i'll certai
