outage they will reimburse them. >> well, two parents in two states identify what they call weak security at their children's schools and now one of them is facing charges for how he did it. this is cell phone video shot by a mom in belair texas. she was able to walk right into the school and freely roam the hallways. she says with no questions asked. >> no lock, no buzzer, no nothing. now i'm headed to the main office. main office. see all the kids walking around. very easy. >> could easily be a catastrophe. a wisconsin dad is under arrest for the way he chose to make the same point. jonathan fitzgerald entered his son's school went to the second grade classroom and handed the teacher a sign with the gun written on it. both parents may have been well intentioned but their actions could have caused panic or worse. if you have real concerns about security pick up the phone and report them. >> big talkers now and here's another case of well intentioned. a moment meant to promote diversity is creating quite the stir on social media. this is illinois governor bruce rauner over here and he drinks to diversity in corporate america with a glass of chocolate milk. >> there you go. so diversity is really, really good. diversity. >> so, it's not the governor's idea, he's going along with the emcee here who says that chocolate syrup is meant to represent everyone from people of color to women the list goes on to not to leave the groups at the bottom you have to stir and shake things up. you get the analogy while it was well intentioned the on that ticks sent twitter into a tizzy with people calling it from tone deaf of offensive the governor says he's just going along. >> emojis used instead of nouns and verbs caught way of getting your thoughts out without having to say anything at all. sometimes the emoji lines can get crossed. for instance, is this praying or begging. that's leading to an uptick in emoji court cases. emojis have been admissible evidence in legal cases from criminal to real estate law work contracts to misinterpret to the fact that you know, some emojis look different on different phones. these imma much are now causing some misunderstandings and thus some legal headaches. apparently the biggest offender is the wink. some are not sure whether someone is being sarcastic or serious. guess what, real court drama. think about your emojis. finally right now as you know it's all about wakanda the mythical african nation in the blockbuster film "black panther" and fans really want it to be real. right about now. so, as it turns out there is a real wakanda in illinois. there it is. different spelling but mom him ins count here people and officials of this small rural midwestern town are now getting calls from uber fans of the film. the mayor says one started grilling her asking where the town was hiding its vibra in. ium a fictional metal in the film said to be stronger than any other. some have been pressing this whack couldn't today to -- wakanda to change its mascot to a "black panther." atlanta's main airport they're offering nonstop flights to the kingdom of wakanda. can't be sure where you'll end up but

another check on the roads. >> matt here now with the update for us this afternoon. hi, matt. >> i was reading if the fictional wakanda is sort of a transportation utility tomorrow pennsylvania which -- utopia. it's not perfect especially this afternoon a little tough to see where you're going. some heavy fog, some mist coming down and as we try to look in east falls at the roosevelt boulevard extension maybe you can make out the headlights coming southbound toward the schuylkill. i don't think you can make out the taillights all backed up from the schuylkill up to broad street. it is definitely heavy on that part of route one. this is another chunk of route one, the not so super highway here in langhorne. southbound come the headlights and it's still a slow pace coming down from langhorne on down to the pennsylvania turnpike but at least that crash involving the vehicle that ran off the roadway into the embankment is now clear. still, though, if you're coming south on one, i would bail on 95 and use that through the construction zone in bristol township instead of southbound one. in coatesville chester county watching a crash along lincoln highway business 30 at third avenue there by the coatesville flower shop. and we have one in upper chichester that's really been jamming traffic along 322 in the construction zone near 452. i would stick with concorde road, maybe namaans creek even 202 the concorde pike instead. in gloucester county our crash i told you about on 295 northbound has cleared to the shoulder so speeds are better there. we'll check it again, brian and sharrie in the 5 o'clock hour. >> some improvement here and there. okay, matt, thanks. >> looking for some improvement in the forecast as well. meteorologist adam joseph standing by with word on
