court judge telling silicon valley billionaire he has to open up public access to martin's beach. the story coming up on nbc bay area news. and i'm scott budman, a rough day for apple. big sales but does its latest iphone bend? we'll put it to the test coming up. then at 6:00 a food renaissance in the south bay. >> what some businesses are doing to help people do the right thing. that's new at 6:00. 40 miles per hour wind gust, that's the problem in sacramento. the fire is about 40% contained. it's burned many acres and destroyed 12 homes thus far. these winds could last through tomorrow but there is hope because rain is in the forecast. the long awaited decision is in, a san mateo county judge rules against vinod khosla. he was trying to block access to a beach. he doesn't own the beach but the private road to get there. the beach is near half moon bay and the decision came down just in the past 90 minutes. mark mathews joins us from the law offices of the plaintiffs who won this case. >> they are happy about it. this is the decision hot off the press. in a private property rights case where the issue is can a property owner be forced to provide public access to a beach simply because the previous property owners allowed it? vinod khosla believe his private property rights trump the public's right to a beach. he paid $37.5 million for the land between the beach. two weeks later, he closed off public access that existed for decades. when the county told him he needed a coastal permit. he never applied for one and his attorneys argued no permit is necessary to close a gate. they sued khosla saying he ignored the coast l commission and law and contended the billionaire should be required to pay the maximum fine of $15,000 a day, which would amount to something in the range of $20 million. khosla's attorney argued in court the coastal commission was a run away regulatory body that was violating khosla's fifth amendment property rights. the judge listened to six days of testimony and visited martin's beach and ruled khosla needed a permit to close the gate and ordered him to stop preventing public access. >> i think is this is a great victory for the people of california today because it protects their coast. for the first time in many years, what happened is a court has said mr. khosla, tear down that fence. >> reporter: just moments ago, khosla's attorneys said they are disappointed in the court's ruling and will consider options for appeal. it's widely believed vino vinod khosla will appeal to to the supreme court if necessary. the judge said he won't have to pay any more fines. reporting from the plaintiff's offices here, mark mathews, nbc bay area news. story not over yet. thanks, mark. another bruising day for apple, the iphones apparently bend in people's pockets. >> suddenly some out luster lost from last week's exciting rollout. the business and tech reporter scott budman joins us at the apple store and scott, the sales are still sky high. >> reporter: they are still lining up outside the store to buy phones, raj, but apple says 10 million of the iphone 6s and 6 pluses were sold in three days and if they were popping champagne that makes sense but today was a sobering day. some people say when they put them in their back pocket, they bend. it's a hot product that has a case of the bends, even with people still lining up to buy apple's new iphone 6. >> i want the 6 plus. >> reporter: the saying it bends launched streams and tests including this one from square space. >> bottom line it's aluminum. it's going to bend if you apply enough pressure like i just did. >> reporter: on an especially rough day for apple, the company admitted it pulled a software update because of bugs, not that shoppers seem to mind. >> not at all. no, i'm not concerned with that. i'm looking forward to having the new iphone 6 plus. >> reporter: even if it is more flexible than originally planned. apple released a statement this afternoon saying it is looking into the problems with that latest operating system software release and says it will fix those problems. meanwhile, apple shares fell about 83 cents today on an otherwise strong day for the stock market and as i mentioned, didn't seem to dim the appetite for people. they stood in line here for the new iphones until they were told the store actually ran out. back to you guys. >> thank you, scott. the take away is don't sit on your new iphone. >> that's very good advice. don't sit on it anyway, you don't want to crack the screen, right? let's bring in jeff ranieri. we see green behind you, jeff. >> the doppler radar getting fired upright now. the storm system offshore. the core of the strongest portion of the storm system remains well off to the north and out here in pacific. we won't be impacted but the bottom edge is continuing to edge closer and this is where we'll get the chance of rainfall from over the next 18 hours. you can see areas of rainfall near the california, also the oregon boarder and gradually again we'll see this step down here throughout the bay area. we'll take you outside of the sky camera network and no rainfall just yet, you can see in the north bay from the weather under ground sky, camera network, we have thick clouds here in tiburon. there is enough moisture in the atmosphere ahead of the storm system, i do think in places like tiburon to san francisco we'll get in on drizzle and down here across the south bay, nothing but blue sky and 7 6. don't worry san jose, we still have rainfall for you, as well. let's take you to the rain timeline. it has updated quite a bit from this time yesterday. the key thing is the fact that a lot of the forecast models are holding this together a little better than it was 24 hours ago. so the hopes here of getting some rainfall down to san jose looks excellent. at 8:00 p.m. tonight, most of the rainfall stays to the north. you're clear for any late evening commuting but by 11:00, showers develop here across san francisco, possibly the peninsula and we'll hold off again for some of the heaviest rainfall until about 7:00, 8:00 in the morning and again, this is where we're talking about the storm system holding up better. pockets of green possible by 7:00 in the morning. as we advance this throughout the late morning hours at 11:00 in the morning, things will gradually filter out with areas of spotty showers remaining in the forecast thursday afternoon and also for friday, as well. so here is the deal on the rainfall totals. again, not a major storm. anywhere in the north bay we're looking about a tenth to 2/10ths of an inch of rainfall. san francisco to the south, about 1/10th of an inch at this point. .600 -- .06 in san jose. we could pick up a quarter to a half inch at this point. to the micro climate forecast for thursday, a colder day. everyone going to be impacted by these cooler temperatures. certainly might need a light jacket here in the morning hours with light rain showers. 78 in san jose and san francisco temperatures staying in the 60s. i do think by the afternoon hours we'll get some sun breaks in here, as well. for the north bay, east bay and tri-valley, napa expecting 78 and for the tri-valley and 79 pleasanton and 78 in livermore. so showers in the forecast again for tomorrow morning. lingering showers for friday and by this weekend, we'll clear out. i'm posting updates. all you weather lovers head there and get the latest any time you want. >> that's a nice sight. that thanks, jeff. it

drill. a fake airplane crash. >> this is a drill. >> more than 250 volunteers helping emergency responders in a plane crash drill. teams from 20 local agencies took part. the drill simulated a boeing 767 crash. it included triage, transporting victims, and even passenger reunions. this is the first drill at sfo since last year's asiana airlines crash. >> as i mentioned, one thing that went well for us last year is seamless integration that comes through constant and rigorous practice and that's really what today is about. >> today's drill included the testing of a new emergency alert frequency not in the place last year. it started out as a routine traffic stop and ended with the arrest of two suspected mail thieves. police officers pulled them over on sunday and discovered the man and woman were on probation for burglary and identity theft. the officers searched the car and found two bags filled with letters and packages of mail addressed to various homes in redwood city, wood side and for. julie scott and sean mccourt were arrested. they want to know where the bears are at all times. park rangers are using a new tool. it's a real-time bear tracking system. wildlife
