But now i will use the term again, Ripple Effects. Right here in philadelphia, at the airport where jenny joyce is live this morning, hi there jenny. Reporter good morning. Lauren and mike. Things are Getting Better but it was a crazy night at Philadelphia International which did put out a tweet overnight after power was restored in at plant a reminding people if people had flights out this morning to check on their flight status before coming here to the airport, because, airports all across the country were trying to get back on track after this massive outage, power was now restored until just before midnight, so organizing all of these thousands of cancelled flights across the country was quite a process, the first departure out of philly to atlanta was 5 15 this morning which was good news to the many people stranded here at the airport overnight after their flights were cancelled yesterday, we talked to a young man who spent the night here at the airport trying to get home to georgia for the holidays.

The governor of pennsylvania is calling for state senator daylin leach to step down, steve, what is up in king of prussia. Reporter well, he represents montgomery county, part of the Delaware County. This is where his office is. In the sunday Philadelphia Inquirer was just the beginning of his bad day. Exstaffer, senator daylin leach crossed line with sex talk and inappropriate touching. That was filled by a bigger followup story head line a short time later just the time it took for tom wolf to read read that article he put out a statement saying this disturbing behavior is unacceptable. Senator leach should resign. Senator leach is also running begins republican congressman pat meehan for u. S. Congress at the same time that he has a state senate seat in harrisburg. The Democratic Party leader in Delaware County also wants leach to suspend his campaign for congress as well. Well, leach says the alleged touching incident quote did not happen and that his joking and talking is no more racey then the average person. But to be clear it is not pure either. Lauren and mike at age 56 this married father of two is not in agreement that his 15 year political career should end over this. We will see if he makes it through the year. What a year this has been, my goodness, Game Changing year. President trump may be days away from his big owes accomplishment in office biggest rewrite of the tax code in 30 years. In fact, the house is expect to vote on that tax reform bill probably early tomorrow, the senate, maybe before christmas later this week. Increasingly clear that the republicans will need just about every g. O. P. Vote they can muster up to get the bill approved. Democrats even moderate not likely to vote yes. Once Mitch Mcconnell 51 votes was all that was needed and they are all republicans to make it political that is exactly what happened. Vicepresident mike pence on stand by in case he need to break a tie, senator john mccain will likely miss the vote since he has returned to arizona for treatment of a viral infection. And bob corker is now going in the opposite direction last night, we will see what happens. We have breaking news out of brooklyn, new york. Four People Killed in an Apartment Building catching fire among dead, an 11 yearold boy, a seven yearold boy, a threeyear old girl and their 40 yearold mother.

Pentagon releasing video of the ufo being chased by two navy fighter jets, lets take a look. Clearly they are mystified with how it is able to fly, move, rotating. Thinks back in 2004. They dont know what it is, it truly is an unidentified flying object, ufo. They were out there, seeing these things, recorded, and they have a whole june to it investigate this kind of stuff that is one element of cool things that came out over the weekend. Some other space news, scientists are keeping their ears opened for alien sounds on this cigar, shaped asteroid you have been fascinated by this. It was discovered in october. Scientists have given it a hawaii name which means maybe you can do better than me, which means, scout in hawaii. How is my hawaiian. Really good. Yes. In case you missed it 3 mile wide asteroid sped past our planet it came closer then it has been since 1964, six and a half million miles away. But, im telling you nasa took it a little bit more seriously because of its shape and, you know, it could have been a space raft craft from way out there, you know, in the galaxy. It is in the skies, without a doubt. You think so. Oh, yeah, sure. It is Like Star Wars came out. It all comes together. I will toll what you they put out a statement saying there was in radio signal that came out of the cigar shaped object but how would we know what their radio signals were like. True.

Can you guarantee this is the last jedi . No. No. There will be another one. Hillary, give us some big numbers here, how much money are we talking, hi, is what going on. 220 million as you guys said this put it on track to be top grossing film of 2017 just a few weeks before the years end but it is not going to be the last Star Wars Film<\/a> i hate to break the news. Disney has five other Star Wars Film<\/a>s in the works. This was a big one. They just bought the star wars franchise. It will be interesting to see if they continue to hit these big Dollar Box Office<\/a> numbers with their films coming out in the near future but this was carrie fishers final appearance in the franchise. She passed away this previous year. It whats motional big win for star wars fans. A lot of people were excited about it. Not everyone. But pulled in big money. It made 230 milliondollar overseas which beat disneys own expectations. I think they were surprised how much money their own film ended upbringing in the first week even. It is on track to be the highest grossing film of 2017, so a lot of people still planning to see it. Well, the number i care about is the second week end, word of mouth, have you seen it, hillary. After the reviews come out, no, i have not seen it. Maybe i will make my way over the weekend, next weekend, maybe be part of the second wave. Real star wars fans i have heard from gave it a b. Okay. About a b. Yeahy havent heard anything bit. It is mixed reviews on line i think but a lot of people did love it, at lee the first week end of it. We will see if those reviews deter people. Kid really liked it and so they will grow up. Mission accomplish. And get to the next five. And now they have star wars ride at disney world and disney land. They make their point.

So eastbound half an hour delay from conshohocken to city avenue with the crash, downtown we will go, we had an earlier accident westbound near girard. Everything looks damp and wet from all that melting snow. We have in reports of any black ice, so that is good news. North bound i95, jammo from highland all the way up through philly international, septa running with delays because of the amtrak signal problems on the line to trenton and west trenton line in philadelphia. Patco kicked in a new schedule so stay up to date with the new timetable w that mess in atlanta those flights were cancelled, planes, pilots had all been scattered so they are calling what they need to reposition everybody in place, and expect delays, and fur flight was cancelled make sure you reprint that ticket. Your ticket has to show today s date before you can get through the checkpoint, mike and lauren, back over to you. Lets get back to this airport situation here. Lights out. Lights out for about 11 hours at biggest airport in the world, atlanta. Hearts field Jackson International<\/a> airport. Thank you. The power was restored about seven and a half hours ago but now many airports, including phl affected by this delay. Look at how dark it is in there. That is what happens when there is no lights. All right. Dont get mad at me. So how do you spend the time if you are delayed in the airport . Maybe you start dancing, and having the ground crew mimic you. Look at this little girl. That is cute, he is getting them to dance. The twirl girl look at home twirling around. Chicken dance. Look at her down there isnt that funny. Yeah. Jenny joyce has agreed to dance her way through this report from phl. Heres jenny. Reporter good morning. She handled it better then a lot of people. When we first got here we saw people huddled up on the chairs, and just not in the mood for anything understandably so, because of the power outage from atlanta lasted 11 hours and it had as you said that Ripple Effect<\/a> at airports all across the country including here at phl this morning it was extremely busy. One because it was a monday. Two because it is a monday right before christmas, and also because of the situation in atlanta. Power was not completely restored. Organizes dozens of flights was quite the process. First departure out of philadelphia to atlanta was 5 15 a. M. Good news for many people stranded at the airport overnight, after their flights yesterday were cancelled. So, while we talk to some people who have dealt with flights and cancellations in the last day, we also talked to a man this morning who is get congressman pat his original flight to atlanta he was lucky, he scheduled his flight one day after the outage.

Christie new jersey is experiencing a heroin epidemic fueled by opioid painkillers. But if you or someone you love is struggling with addiction, i want you to know we are here for you. This holiday season, choose help. Call 844 reach nj or visit reachnj. Gov. Good morning. I dont think this fellow intended to be sideways on the schuylkill here. He is kissing the concrete barrier. But no black ice. Everything is damp and wet from the snow melting. This is westbound schuylkill expressway, right before the exit for the boulevard and city avenue. Downtown we will go we are jammo across town on the vine, it has been a mess all morning a combination of i think a lot of folks trying to get over to amtraks 30th street station, busy travel week plus an earlier accident west on the schuylkill. Speaking of the amtrak, they are saying customers traveling to new yorks penn station today could have delays because of that track work and then septa also having some problems on the trenton and west trenton line and that is all related to amtrak signal problems. Sueby has the forecast in 15. Were into a decent weather pattern thanks to the warm front that is making its way through right now, the thing is, it is moving into very dry air. We are seeing, next to nothing , on ultimate Doppler Radar<\/a> and coming down from the sky. We will see few areas of green but none of that has been reported to make it to the ground. We will talk temperature at freezing and reading. Thirtyfive in coatsville. Thirtythree in lancaster. Voorhees is 36 degrees, bear, delaware 37, and good morning mount holly, new jersey we are at 36 degrees. Pretty reasonable for this time in december and high of 48 degrees, well above average with a high of 59, and winds pick up. It is a cold one on thursday but when you are getting used to that it warms up again to about 60 degrees on saturday this morning. Christmas eve looks like we will dry out and get cooler, by then. Mike . Hey, sue, thank you. Yes. Nicki six, saint nick, whatever you want to call him he delivered, that is for sure connected on four touchdowns but the defense is the problem , of course. G. Cobb is here, matt lombard owe is here. Lets keep this crisp. Matt, lets start with you, nicki six. Nick foles get an a. He had four touchdowns, passer rating 115 as a backup team coming in against a division opponent i dont think you could have expect more than what you got from foles yesterday. Perfect. I would give him an a as well. They were down 20seven. You didnt have a veteran in there you would have had panic and something bad happen like eagles losing. He kept his composure. He was able to find guys opened in the end zone and he did a tremendous job. Thumbs up for him. I love this celebration too that was a good one. Gathering around the campfire. Foles also brought him back 2723. They actually, you know you know, he brought them back last time. Brought them back last week to win the game. I think if they play the way they did yesterday as a defense they will struggle to beat just about anybody in the nfc and it will not matter fit is carson wentz, joe montana, tom brady that defense will make it difficult to win a playoff game but foles played well enough to win you a game with the confident defense. G, you played defense, what is wrong. They didnt get in the game emotionally. Before a game you just cant show up and turn it on when you get there. You have to purposely say i am going to play hard. Think about how i will play. You have to commit to it. If you dont you cannot just show up and play. 424 passing yard to eli manning with the giants with the 31 rated owe even if, 22nd rated passing owe even if, you have to play teams with the rams, and the saints, matt ryan and falcons. They all do what the giants do which is these quick passes over middle to get yard after the catch. It is the emotion. We have one of the best defensive lines in the games. You have to get emotionally into it, mike. You have to show up and this has got to mean something to you. You have that emotion. Guys, with the emotion. More technique or emotion it is more emotion. I disagree. It is a combination of the two but the emotion, you dont play the game emotionally you cannot play football. You have to be into it. I think emotion played a role but in a lot of ways eagles played down to the giants level of the competition early. That is emotion. Eli manning gets rid of the football quicker then other quarterbacks but so does drew breeze and matt rye and their receivers are far superior. You line up against those quarterbacks and receivers in the playoffs that is a tough road. Those guys met after the game, they talked bit. They were very disappointed in the way they have played. It is a personal thing. Only you know whether you really are prepared just like you came in here today, did you really commit to come in here and dot job or just coming here. Not enclose. You committed. I was up late. Is ronald darby hurt. I dont think he is hurt but he turned down talking to reporters. They asked him to talk. He said not to day. Was it you that was the problem. I think his play right here that was the problem. But when he got burned. That was a big play. Great return. But he got burned and he bought on two or three double w. This is his number one quarterback. That was a lack of focus. You saw witt jaylen mills and ronald darby they were being slop any their he go begins julo jones. They will to have play better. Pressure on the quarterback, mike. All right. They just cant go through emotions. You have to play, man. You know what it is, intensity is what they need. That is right. Show up ready to play. Im scared. Were going through motions. If we get home field throughout the playoffs we can make it to the super bowl. I think so but they have to show up ready to play. We might put new charge. You should get in charge the way you are firing people up today. We will send you over there , get those guys ready to play. Okay, okay. Dont forget burr pets for the holidays. Have you ever given a dog a gift. Yeah. Yeah. So excited like the stocking. Yes. That happened to me in high school. And have you ever given a leamer or a fur it a gift. What do you give a this holiday season, my good friend gave to me. 7 powerball tickets, 6 match 6 chances, 5 cash 5s 4 cash4lifes, 3 pick 3s, 2 mega millions. Happy holidays, rita thanks, joe what a great gift Pennsylvania Lottery<\/a> tickets make great gifts. Like the new merry millions. Happy holidays and best wishes from the lottery.

Plus another one for the win column. And new looking in the corner of the end zone, agholor has a touchdown, philadelphia, four touchdowns for foles.

Lets go outside to the ben franklin parkway where there is the traffic lights that are on flash at 22nd and ben franklin parkway. And Traffic Police<\/a> say they are on the way. That will start to cause delays for anybody coming in off the art museum circle, the kelly drive or Martin Luther<\/a> king drive. Lets come back to our map computer here the freeway, everything is wet and damp from all of that snow that has been melting over the weekend. Amtrak running with signal problems and that is having a domino on both trenton and west trenton Regional Rail<\/a> lines, mike and alex lauren back to you. I almost said it. Hey. That was first time though. I know. That is okay, alex normally sits here. For four hours. All right. You know eagles beat the giants yesterday afternoon 34 29. So to kind of celebrate a little bit we gave a round by up in lansdale at lack yard beans. She has some entertainment today. Yes, hi jen.

Governor tom wolf is asking him to resign, former staffers accused the democrat of unwanted touching, lewd jokes and comments, dating back almost 10 years one woman claimed leach touched her back side tickled on her two occasions. Leach denies those and sayses and chalks up other incidents to his sense of humor. The owner of the Carolina Panthers<\/a> putting the team up for sale amid allegations of work place misconduct there. Jerry richardson accused of using a racial slur and sexual ly harassing several women. Richard soil will wait until the season is over before he considers any offers for the team, but did he wait, and, and posted looking for partners. Maybe later on we will play his offer. Look at this. Now watch this video. Do you see powers off at atlantas heartsfield jackson. Now later on here we will snow a video and there is something floating in the sky. Maybe this isnt the same one. Down awe hallway. Heartsfield jacksonville airport. People slept there all night. Power was out for 12 hours. They got it backup around midnight. So, it would be Ripple Effect<\/a>s he will the domino effect. There we go. Especially at philly international. Good thing this was this pennsylvania sunday and not Christmas Eve<\/a>, can you imagine my goodness. I dont know how this happens. That is why im wondering in Georgia Power<\/a> kept tweeting yesterday. My rides here. That never gets old. Georgia power. They kept tweeting out back on by midnight. This is like 4 00 p. M. People are like how does that help me. It does not help my havent heard anybody bring up, like it was. You think it was deliberate possibly like someone hack into some type of system. Isnt that what the terrorist are saying they will try to disrupt like that but in word like that. That is just me thinking off the top of my head which is never good. Reaction pouring in after a cdc is told it can in longer use certain word in official budget documents. Report first came from the Washington Post<\/a>. Last week the Washington Post<\/a> reported that the cdc was told by the Trump Administration<\/a> to not use word such as fetus, transgender, science based and diversity. Alternative word choices were given in some cases. People are upset that it is censorship and an attack on science but the head of the cdc says that the ban is not true, that the director posted a statement on facebook that read in part quote i want to assure you there are no banned word at cdc. Cdc has a long standing history of making Public Health<\/a> and budget decisions that are based on the best available science and data and for the benefit of all people and we will continue to do so. Yeah, it is hard to work at cdc and not use the term science based at some point. I agree. Cdc is also based, location based in atlanta. Atlanta. Correct. Well, kevin hart was hoe of the saturday night live. I think third time he done it. He joked about becoming father of three during his opening mono log. Basically a stand up routine. But a lot of folks on the internet not happy with some of his remarks. First, his remarks. The one thing thaw are not is fun. Now i know when you first hearing it you are getting an attitude, what, im fun. That is a lie. You are a lie. Im fun. Now are not. You never heard a kid say i cant wait to get home and play with my mom. You never heard that. I cant wait for mommy and me time. That dont exist. I didnt set up that quite right. His being a parent fun . Snow. Not particularly. People are saying it was sexist because he was talking about moms verse dads but he said i know a lot of you will not gree with me but i dont know, he is a comedian, he is meant to make jokes and be funny and you cannot take what you are saying to heart. Yeah, sure. He doesnt like to change diapers. That should be a womans doody only. He will be involved. All right. He ace comedian. Funny. Lets get to this pet segment because i. I have a gift for a chicken what do you give a chicken . I mean i know a pig . A chicken . Well, they have eggs. That is true. I would not give a dog a ball inside of a, wow. I thought that was a zip lock bag at first. So did i. Im not talking about ups or anything like that. You are talking about the major retailers. Five major retailers have deadlines and i will doctor. Doctor. I played a doctor on tv, but now im helping save lives for real. Starting with my own. Im partnering with Cigna Healthspring<\/a> to remind everyone how important Preventive Care<\/a> is for people my age. See anything, doctor . Looks great, doctor. And with Cigna Healthspring<\/a> medicare advantage, you get a team of doctors overseeing your health. Most Preventive Services<\/a> are covered. So go, know, and take control of your health. Oh. Use mine, doctor. Cigna healthspring. Together, all the way. Good morning. Accident on 295 at 42 freeway taking out left lane causing delays for everybody trying to get up in toward bellmawr, new jersey this four car pile up happened early this morning and still causing a mess. It is eastbound on the schuylkill expressway approaching belmont. Not blocking any of the lanes, the old classic rubber necker gaper delay there rolling on by. Downtown we will go vine street expressway stacked up across town. Lets go out to the parkway, ben franklin parkway lights out, blinking red light there. That is 22nd and the parkway, so we have streets commission on the way to try to hit the reset button there. We will have delays on the Regional Rail<\/a>s because of slippery rails coming your way out the driveway this morning. Sue has your forecast in 15. It is three days until winter is official but interestingly enough we almost have 8 inches of snow total for the season so far but the shortest day of the year is coming. This is the important part, after thursday at 11 28, days will start to get a little longer and nights a little bit shorter. In the meantime were watching radar.
