A wildfire forced people from moraga from their homes overnight. At this hour some evacuation orders have been lifted and some people have been able go back home. Jobina fortson is live in moraga with some people who had to evacuate. Good morning. The good news is that people are able go home. I want you all to take a peek behind me inside the Evacuation Center here where the power is completely out. Its been out since 10 00 or 11 00 last night. The American Red Cross truck is here. Theyre loading everything back inside. They provided drinks, restrooms, snacks for people standing out in the cold and in the parking lot. Its been a long night here and morning. I want you to see the flames going to through the hills there in moraga. I talked with the fire chief who tells me anywhere between 40 and 60 acres has burned in the hills. The fire right now is at 70 for containment. Everything is under control. Officers and firefighters went door to door waking people up this morning and in one family case they went ahead and left because a neighbor came by and said there was a fire. The fire chief tells me this was a very close call. Fire encroaching immediately against the property, several fences were burned, that gives you an idea how close the fire got to those homes. Our pow is out. It went out 11 00 p. M. Last night. Did that make things more challenging . A little bit. You go to flick on the switch out of habit, nothing comes on. So we had because the power did go out, we knew it before we nt bed, we had flashlights ready and whatnot. The cause of the fire is under investigation. I asked the fire chief since so many evacuees were telling us they had to go down this wipndy road in the dark, if the power being out impacted them in any way. He said no because of the time of day that it happened it was dark any way, so this is just a routine for them and because of the power tage, they actually had extra firefighters any way on staffeady to go. So they were in a better position for this fire. For now reporting live in moraga, jobina fortson, abc7 news. Thank you for that update. Another story weve been following is that massive pg e safety power cutoff. We did get some new numbers. Drew tuma is following that for us.

We even went to a point where we were selling the Outdoor Solar lights. They got all the refrigerator ice packs that we had. They got cantles. Every candle we have. Then over there, we practically sold out of our ice chests. Even the very expensive ice chest. How much does that one cost . Like 300. Heres video from the caldecott tunnel. This is last night. This is after the power had been shut down. It is open. It will be open for your commute. There was talk they may shut it down when the power went out but they got generators going and its open.
