Frightened travelers who faced a bomb scare on a plane headed from florida to texas are sounding off this morning about their frustrating experience. They say Spirit Airlines completely mishandled the threat last night. Abc 7s jessica castros here with new interviews with passengers. Jessica. Yes, kristen, passengers were scared. And after such a long wait forced to stay in their seats, they describe intense anxiety. One passenger even told abc news that passengers were threatening to use the emergency exits to get off the plane. Spirit Airline Flight 971 was delayed two hours on the ft. Lauderdale airport tarmac after a suspicious text message about a bomb. A passenger alerted flight attendants that the person next to him had sent a text about a bo bomb. I understand they have protocols, but to sit there for about two hours with a potential bomb on the plane, you know, we werent really allowed to get up. Reporter another passenger said the airline crew at one point got on the loud speaker and apologized for paperwork during the delay. Were like paperwork . Get off this plane. Were on here for hours, you know, for a bomb threat. We dont care about paperwork. We care about the safety of ourselves, our family members. Some passengers were a little upset about the wait. I thought it was awful. It offered nobody a sense of comfort. And people were getting very anxious. Reporter eventually two men were taken off the aircraft.

Are your kids trying to figure out where to go to score the most candy tonight . Private social networking site for neighborhoods just released a feature called treat map. It shows which houses are giving out treats this hallowen. So if you want to add your house or let people know youre not giving away candy, log on to the site, answer a couple of questions, plug in your address and voila. Candy corn icons will pop up showing homes which are passing out treats. Mike, we would have loved that as kids. We could have maximized our potential for candy, plot out the route. But tonight whats important is plotting out the schedule with regard to the rain. The rains going to be the big thing, especially in the north bay. I dont think you can escape it in the north bay, especially the closer you are to 101 in marin county or santa rosa, it may rain all during the evening hours. While the rest of us will get some breaks. Absolutely wont be a washout everywhere else, but you have to be prepared for some wet weather from time to time. Heres a look at the golden gate bidge. You can see thicker clouds up across the north bay. Winds are light right now about 3 to 8 miles per hour, but well have breezy conditions late this afternoon. Showers through tomorrow morning, wettest and steadiest across the north bay, warmer and drier weak ahead. Now, what were dealing with right now with live doppler 7hd is the fact that weve got showers and thunderstorms across the northern part of the state. Weve got what are looking at yellows and oranges and some reds there, thats the stronger part of the storm right now. If we could get return, well see that there. The area of low pressure. So weve got showers out ahead of this. And then weve got thunderstorms that are going to develop. This is going to hit us with a onetwo punch as we head through the evening and overnight hours. The breeziest conditions are going to happen from 5 00 until 8 00. And look theyre from san francisco, oakland, bay bridge southward closer you are to the water the more likely it is youre going to have to hold onto that candy bag a little bit tighter than you normally would. Heres a look at san jose 101 and 880, still dealing with sunshine in the best place not to get wet tonight. Heres a look at your pm planner, light and across the north bay. Those will be showers at 3 00. Theyll be moderate across the north bay. A few maybe renegade showers slip into the heart of the bay, but i think by 7 00 well see a better chance. And by 9 00 it starts slipping into the bay with the temperatures dropping into the upper 50s. So storm impact scale we rank these storms one light, five severe. This one is definitely going to be light because of the scattered nature of the showers and the fact its going to dump the heaviest of its rain in one area mainly in the north bay in the santa cruz mountains. Pretty quiet out there. Few light sprinkles up until 4 00 and yellows and oranges moving into the north bay. By 7 00, 8 00 in the heart of the bay. And then by 9 00 into the south bay. Let me show you how it measures up as far as measuring it. By 4 00 were getting measurable by 8 00 around oakland and san francisco. And then by 10 00 you can see down in the south bay some measurable rain starts to fall there. So that should give you an idea of when youre going to get wet and how much youre going to receive. Again, the north bay is whattism bad for because you may not find a window. For the rest of us looks like its going to be pretty good at least dodging a few drops here and there but not a complete washout. All right. Thanks a lot. Ill tell everybody at school. Appreciate it.
