the colder responsible for air security told fox news these situations tend to unfold quickly and at first there s a certain amount of ambiguity about exactly whafd happening on the flight. if it turned if it turn out this was not a scuffle between two people, it takes time to scramble and get on the scene. the two passengers were met by airport police when they arrived at the gate, they were questioned but no charges were filed. jenna, back to you. jenna: steve centanni, live for us in d.c., thank you for that. we have more dramatic testimony in the trial of casey anthony. today, her former best friend and her brother, both on the stand. the picture they re painting of the young mother accused of murdering her own child. we re going to tell you about that picture live just ahead. also the very first day of hurricane season is today, and new storm predictions are out. will it be a busy and dangerous year? we re live at the fox weather center with answers. and sharks putting a d
in through oklahoma. so oklahoma city, tulsa, dallas. we ll see many of these watches. watches means conditions are favorable for tornadoes. we already have some heavy rain moving through the kansas city area and joplin, missouri they are still under the gun for more severe weather. also seeing severe thunderstorm watches in effect for parts of tennessee, kentucky and the mid-atlantic region. but the bull s-eye is across the southern plains. the white area you rarely sight. the storm predictions center says this is the area we are most concerned with. i just want to show you that setup. this what is we look for in terms of ingredients. very strong jonn jet stream.

inland? inland. you never know. what happens during andrew, miami beach was evacuated and they went to kendall in the west and that s where andrew went. the predictions are better. the science is more precise. i think we know it s going to wallup us anywhere it goes. the storm predictions are horrific. a ten-foot storm surge that could flood blocks and blocks and blocks west that way. absolutely. the science is better. it s more precise. we can forecast it. miami is ready. i mean, we have had days to prepare and we saw through cnn what happened in houston. people are ready. those who don t want to leave their houses won t leave their houses anyway. but, everything is functioning fine. this is so much better, the response than it was during andrew. in andrew, everything fell
