Pthis driver that youre watching pobviously did, but that type of pbehavior is a crime. Pas ken reports, Pinellas Park olice want to find the driver pbefore someone gets hurt. P let me ask you this. Phow many close calls have you pseen on bay area roads . Robably more than you want to precall. Pbut they are usually punintentional. Pwhat happened here was pintentional and thats the scary pand the sad thing. Pthe driver of this white car was pintentionally doing donuts and pnot only at this location, were pat 66th street north and 121st pit happened a couple of days ago phere but police say the same pcar, possibly a pontiac g 8 or a pchevy supersport, was also seen pdoing donuts around town causing pother problems. Psomeone spotted it on 102nd and pbrian dairy doing the same thing pon the same day. Pwe understand there were four pyoung guys in the vehicle. Pa woman who was really taken pback by the antics shot this pvideo on her cell phone and then phanded it over to the cops. Pusually the kids involved in the rank shoot at themselves and pthen posted on a social media psite to impress other people. Pit may be impressive to the kids pand it may be impressive to pother wreckless drivers but not pto most people who want to stay psafe on the roads and certainly pnot impressive to the cops who pare now looking for these four pyoung guys. Pback to you. Prussell p thank you. Pa deadly accident is underway in pnew port richey. Ptroopers tell us a semi and pmotorcycle driver. Pthis one happened along ridge proad around 12 30 this morning pand theyre looking into what pled up to that accident. Pall of this is happening as the pflorida Highway Patrol is pwarning people about what can phappen if you leave the scene of pa car crash. Ptroopers in bradenton speaking pout against hit and run paccidents. Pthey have a survivor and a man pwho lost his wife from a hit and prun crash and they say beyond pthe physical pain, it is also an pemotional rollercoaster for peveryone involved.

Pfox has more now from pwashington. Preporter here around the pcountry, flags are flying at phalf staff but theres already a pfull blown fight over when to pnominate the new justice. Pa hearse carrying Justice Scalia pback home where candles, cards pand flowers peppered the steps pof the high court. Pbefore the morning has begun in pearnest, scalia and his death phas found himself in the middle pof a political battle. P this is the whole fall game pdirection is concerned. Preporter republicans wanted pto delay the process until after pthe november election hoping pthat will give them leverage to padd a conservative voice to the phigh court. Pdemocrats are pushing for a new pchoice soon. Punderstanding president obamas pthird appointee would almost pcertainly tip the high court in pfavor of liberals. P the president has every right pto nominate somebody by the pconstitution. Preporter major cases affect peverything from abortion to pcivil rights and Climate Change pand while the court will pcontinue to function with just peight justices, ties and pimportant rulings could revert pback to the lower court. Pthe high court, on right now, pgets back to work next week with pa big hole on the bench. Preporter lets bring in craig atrick. Pwhat will his passing mean going pforward . P shortterm, it means probably pa sequence of more and more ties pto important cases and as you pnothing changes in that respect. Pbeyond that, looking at his plegacy, he was bold and blunt pand very provocative and he was p Justice Scalia, a champion of pconservative causes. Pwith this, this is a significant pset psetback to the conservative pweather. Pwhether we do it this year, wait puntil next year to confirm an pappointment, lets not lose psight of the fact that clearly pthe court nudges a bit to the pleft with Justice Scalias assing. Preporter do we know what pspecific cases are pending right pnow . P we have big ones, too. Pyou have a potential landmark pcase on voting rights. Pthat was already heard. Pyouve got one of the paffirmative action, that was palready heard last year. Pyouve got one on labor unions pand how much clout public pemployees would or could have. Pthat has been heard. Pand perhaps Justice Scalia has pis the thing. Puntil a decision is officially preleased, it doesnt count with phis passing because hes no plonger on the bench and with pthis, it conceivably throws pcases like those that have palready been heard out of whack por changes the voting mixup. Pmeanwhile, you have other pissues. Pbig landmark case on abortion to pbe heard, on contraception as it prelates to the Affordable Care pact. Preligious institutions, porganizations to be heard. Pimmigration, the president pexecutive order then basically pshields millions of people from pdeportation. Pthat one is yet to be heard. Pthose are just a few examples of pwhat hangs in the balance here. Preporter all important stuff. Pthaup, craig. P thank you.

Pel faro set sail back in pseptember as a powerful storm pthe chips ships captain ptried to outrun it. Pthe cruise ship thrown around pduring a violent winter storm plast week is heading back out to psea. Panthem of the sea set out to new pjersey. Phe spoke to passengers on board. P i think thats a safe place. P in new jersey theyre hoping pfor smooth sailing this time. P we went through last week. Pwe can get through everything. P the Royal Caribbean vessel pwas headed to the bahamas where pthey encountered a terrific pstorm off the carolinas. Phurricane strength wind gusts at p75 Miles Per Hour and waves pnearly 40 feet high so preturning. P everything in the bathroom pwas on the floor, toiletries and pmy god. Pfirst thing comes to mind is im pthis is it. P crew was Walking Around non pstop cleaning up debris, glass, pbringing water, food. Preporter nobody was seriously phurt. Pthe 10yearold ship returned to ort Late Wednesday night. P they did a great job. Preporter the coast guard pinspects every ship before it pheads out to sea. Pcrews had to repair the repulse psystem damaged for the storm pbefore giving it the all clear pthis weekend. P the ships have come back. P people should give credit to pthe captain and should give pcredit to the people who pdesigned that ship because its pseaworthy. Preporter while there are pquestions whether the ship pshould have set sail last week, psome say the possibility of pinclimate weather is sometimes art of the cruise package. P the first cruise i went on phad a hurricane and the second pcruise i went on a year later pbefore. Pi get sick. Preporter hopefully not this ptime. P florida voters head to the olls in four weeks for the rimary election and it doesnt phave to be confusing. Ptheres a new app to simplify pthe process. Preporter for years, stefan pwould update his Facebook Page pabout how he was feeling when it pcame to what he believed. Phe kept it to himself. Psocial media is great at pconnecting people socially. Pbut its not always great at pconnecting people politically. P i think with an open platform plike facebook, sometimes it pallows people to talk about popinions. Preporter he said it keeps pyoung people alienated from the olitical process. Pless than half of young people ptoday identify with any olitical party and less than ptwo all time lows in recent pamerican politics. Pone other reason so many new phampshire millennials flock to pnon mainstream president ial pcandidates. P people care deeply about pissues pissues. P and the main reason he pcofounded brigade, an app pdesigned to collect young eople. P they swipe on political pissues. Psimple. Preporter users are reported pwith provocative questions, pswiping agree, disagree or punsure. Pthe answers immediately put them pin touch with like minded pindividuals. Pfor more information and pdiscussion. Pnow, if users get really pinvolved, you want national padvocacy groups. P exactly. Pyou cannot only express your popinions but we ponder you with pactions to create change. Preporter it also encourages pyoung people to write their own popinions which they can pcontribute to their friends or pthe general public. P they can connect directly pwith each other. Preporter think about things pdifferently, he says, because ptheyre now connected pdifferently. Preporter i hope everybody had pa great valentines day weekend. Pi want to thank you, jim, for pthe beautiful weather. Pthat was like near perfect. Pjim that was really nice. Pthats right up there in the top pfive level, i would think. P now we have storms coming. Pjim its headed our way. Pbeautiful weather of the pweekend, put it on hold for pmaybe about a day and a half to ptwo days. Plook at the temperature through pthe past several days here, pthrough the weekend and you can psee just gorgeous with the pdaytime highs at that normal plevel. Pwe had cooler temperatures pbeginning of last week and we pwarm things up. Pheaded our way. Pbehind this, not really any pcolder weather but weve got psome storms that youll be pdealing with by late tonight and pearly tomorrow morning. Pright now were at 70 degrees. Pdew point is at 56. Phumidity is at 61 . Pwinds, theyre out of the psoutheast at nine miles an hour pwhich is helping to warm things pup and its also helping to preturn that moisture across the pstate and allow for some storms pby the time we get into late pthis even. Pyou can see pretty everybody in pthe upper 60s or lower 70s pbecause of the cloud cover we phave over us and also some retty strong winds coming out pof the southeast across the pstate. Pa little bit cooler once you get pup to the panhandle where they psaw 40s this morning. Ptallahassee currently sits at 65 pdegrees. Pyou can see those winds pretty pmuch all out of the peastsoutheast or southeasterly pdirection and a bit on the pbreezy side as well. Pvero beach, 23 miles an hour. Pwest palm beach, 20. Psoutheast at 16 miles an hour. Pwell continue with these pstronger winds as we go through pthe afternoon and into this pevening. Pweve got an area of low ressure forming back across ptexas. Pyou can see lots of showers and pstorms and then it turns into psleet and freezing rain and some psnow across the virginias but pthe red box here, that is a ptornado watch box thats been pissued for portions of pmississippi, back into plouisiana. P6 00 local time there, that box pis issued and you can see some retty strong storms working pinto that area so theyll pcontinue to see some pretty pactive weather throughout the premainder of the afternoon. Pnow, that yellow shade, thae the parea where we had that slight prisk of some stronger storms for pthe afternoon and then you can psee weve got the tornado watch pin that area and then as you get pdown over florida, later on this pevening and into early tomorrow, pjust a very marginal risk of pseeing some of these stronger pstorms. Pso here it is on future cast. Pwatch that low. Ptowards the east and then start pto move towards the north so peven though weve got the storms pheading our way there, theyll ptend to weaken some as they move pthrough by late tonight and pearly tomorrow morning. Pthats why that threat of severe pweather is lower and then high ressure builds in, just going pto reinforce the front that pbrings more dry, pleasant air pacross the state so the rest of pthe week after getting hit by pthis looks good with plenty of psun, low humidity, comfortable ptemperatures. P70 for today. Pmostly cloudy, late day shower pand then for tonight, here comes pthe rain, some thunderstorms pmixed in as well. P62 for the overnight low. Pearly showers tomorrow and then pclearing skies throughout the pday. Pdaytime high of 72 degrees. Pwinds are out of the west at 15 pknots. Phigh tide is at 7 05 this pevening.
