There are 1,374th jurors packed into what is known as the ceremonial courtroom here at the United States federal state court house. The judge is going through questions asking the jurors if they possibly know any of the players in the case, of course, if they know District AttorneySeth Williams. We were there as Seth Williams arrived this morning taking no questions on his way in. The potential jurors were told to brace for a long day. Williams is charged with bribery, extortion on fraud. The city District Attorney here is accused of exerting his influence for friends and Business Associates in exchange for trips, gifts, a convertible, a sofa, electronics and a whole laundry list of other items. Williams is also charged with diverting 20,000 meant for the care of his mother at a local nursing home. Williams defense team has fought the charges filing motions to dismiss which the judge has denied. Now, the judge told the jurors this trial could possibly last three to four weeks. Practically every hand went up on the question if serving on this jury would that present a hardship. Jury selection continues with questioning ranging from have you been involved to the d. A. s office, do you know Law Enforcement do you know Seth Williams or do you know any players in the case. Again some hands go up to some of these questions, some questions have seen no hands go up but again, the question if people know about this case, practically every hand of this pool of 137 potential jurors went up.

Some people became stranded in their cars as Rushing Waters stalled engines. Others are dealing with feet of water in their homes. And the rain is heading our way. It is. The same system interestingly enough. Its a sluggish moving frontal boundary. It has sped up a little bit. Im thinking maybe an extra hour or two earlier than what we were originally expecting for philly so a little closer to 6 oclock or 5 oclock but well need to monitor all that of but bottom line is were going to get hit and its not going to be good timing the. The storms definitely mean business. Theyll be menacing and wait until you see the poconos shot that im going to show you here because the storms are already moving into that area. Lets go out to the maps. Well start it off with a view of storm scan3. Thats a cold front right there, folks. Take a look. That line really is just gathering lots of moisture out in front of it. Its got a huge clash to work with it in the heat thats been building. Already multiple storm cells starting to fire up across parts of the poconos in central pennsylvania.

So syour main threats are these. Downpours, were talking heavy downpours and flash flood potential. Wind as well as frequent cloud to ground lightning. Those are the big three. Then you look at hail as a possibility out of some of these cells. The tornadic risk is low but its still a risk. That would be the least of our worries. Its primarily heavy rain that could lead again to flash flooding. That wind issue and then frequent lightning. So lets talk a little bit of flash flood safety. Never ever drive through a flooded roadway. Its just not a good idea. Outenly takes 6inches of fast moving water to knock over a person and it and it only takes you that much to lose power over your vehicle. Turn around, avoid it.

The front will have cleared and were back to sunshine and all in all a nice stretch other than a spotty shower guys wednesday and thursday. The next three days really look very nice.
