KNTV Today In The Bay October 19, 2017

Month of october. Here we are with our first chance of showers, still well to the north of us, you dont see it until later on this evening but we have been so anticipating this rain for at least a week now, really glad to see it on the radar. Then looking at the timeline at 3 30 we could start to see light sprinkles moving into the north pay with the heavier rain arriving around 10 00 or 11 00 tonight, the south bay may not see it until about midnight. We will be tracking the timing and how much you can see coming up in a few minutes. Mike says the freeways are looking great. They are pretty much sparsely populated with no crashes now. The crash involving the deer thank goodness they were not able to find an injured deer near the scene where that was reported, 588 Castro Valley boulevard. Green, even out of the altamonte pass, mild commute right now. Over toward the dublin interchange no slowing here for that earlier car fire that has cleared north 680 heading over toward the walnut creek interchange as well. A smooth drive toward the bay bridge with no delays. 14 minutes from the highway 4 interchange to the bay bridge where the backups for those cash lanes have cleared. Back to you. A developing story now, socalled bear fire in the Santa Cruz Mountains is now 15 contained. Thats the good news. It is now 300 acres. So it did grow. It is proving to be a tough battle for fire crews. Seven firefighters have been injured in this fire fight so far. Evacuation orders are still in effect for some folks. Some people, though, did get to go back to check on their homes. Now to the north bay fires where this morning the containment of those fires is going up. All of which ignited a week ago, here are those numbers and they are looking good right now, the atlas fire is 83 contained, the tubbs fire 91 contained, the nuns fire is sitting at 80 containment with the red wood fire at 76 containment and the pocket fire is 63 contained. We added the acreage from those fire together and it amounts to a little under 160 acres burned, cal fire puts the number of confirmed dead at 42. Authorities in Sonoma County say that there are now at least 50 active missing persons reports. A followup now, Kaiser Permanente will reopen tomorrow, its been a week and a half since this frightening scene we brought to you during today in the bay, nurses rushing patients from the hospital, those embers were falling from the sky. In all kaiser evacuated 120 patients, fortunately the flames never reached the building. The hospital Officials Say they look forward to reopening and continuing to serve their community. Open for business is the message that napa leaders are working hard to get out in the wake of the fires that brought business to a crawl. October is traditionally the busiest time of the year for wine country but hotels and restaurants are experiencing massive cancellations. They are launching a spend it dont send it campaign, it calls for customers not donations. There is concern that the entire valley has burned up and its just not true. There is a lot of people who work at the wineries and work at the hotels and restaurants and many have suffered great losses, the last thing we want now is for them to lose their jobs. Among the dig event coming up in the napa valley in napa is the napa valley Film Festival in three weeks, organizers want everyone to know that the event is going on as planned. It hopes for a large turnout. Help that local committee. Now to a story that wont stop developing in washington. President trump continues to push back against criticism that he disrespected a military widow. The policy front he is walking back support for a potential bipartisan breakthrough on healthcare as well. Nbcs Edward Lawrence is following it all. Reporter this morning a grieving widow makes preparations to bury her husband, la david johnson, a father of two kids with a third on the way. Clouding this moment of sorrow an accusation by congresswoman Frederica Wilson that President Trump was insensitive during a condolence call. He said, well, i guess you knew something to the fact that he knew what he was getting into when he signed up, but i guess it hurts anyway. You know, just matter of factually. That this is what happened. Reporter wilson heard the call on speakerphone while consoling johnsons widow on the way to get his body. The president denying any intense ift. I had a very nice conversation with the woman, with the wife, who sounded like a lovely woman. Did not say what the congresswoman said and most people arent too surprised to hear that. He went to the golf course like five times from the time that those soldiers died in niger to the time that he called the families. I think that general kelly is disgusted by the way that this has been politicized and that the focus has become on the process and not the fact that american lives were lost. Reporter while dealing with this fallout the president backed off support for a bipartisan deal to stabilize obamacare markets. I am not going to do anything to enrich the Insurance Companies. Reporter the deal includes subsidies to Insurance Companies to keep premiums low. White House Press Secretary says the president will not support the deal in its current form because of those payments to the Insurance Companies. Edward lawrence, nbc news, washington. Happening today we will learn the punishment for a pleasanton woman who pleaded guilty to killing a threeyearold. She faced vehicular manslaughter charges. Police say she was driving drunk when she crashed along 680 in san ramone last year. Threeyearold elijah dunn died, his mom and sibling were hurt. The family wanted malahan to face murder charges because this was not her first dui offense. She is married to an Alameda County deputies sheriff and the victims family say they think that played a role in her charges. I feel it got brushed under the rug. The fact that shes married to a Police Officer i dont think swayed the das office to give her any preferential treatment she is looking at a significant prison sentence. That is our legal analyst steven clark. He also says it would have been hard for the da to bring murder charges because the first dui case was still pending. The trial for the man accused in the deadly shooting of kate steinle will officially Begin Next Week now that a jury has been seated. He faces murder charges for the shooting which happened on San Franciscos pier 14. It sparked a nationwide debate on immigration and sanctuary cities. The judge yesterday swore in 12 jurors and five alternates. Opening statements are scheduled for monday. New this morning did facebook and google work closely with a radical right wing group to promote antimuslim and antirefugee ads . Bloomberg reports both companies worked with secure america now to help target voters in swing states. This morning the mercury news is reporting facebook claims it did not directly work with the right wing group, but with a third party. Google which later blocked some ads did not deny the allegations. Social Media Companies especially facebook are under intense scrutiny for helping push fake news during last years president ial election. Right now at 5 08, we wake up to cloudy skies and light winds, higher humidity around the bay area and, yes, we know some rain is on the way, but as we look at these High Temperatures this afternoon, its going to be much cooler than it was yesterday and its going to only reach up to 68 degrees today in napa, some upper 60s for the inland areas and san jose expect a high of 69 degrees there, 60 in San Francisco as well as halfmoon bay. And the rain arrives late tonight into the morning tomorrow and we will talk about that timeline and how much coming up in just a few minutes, but mike is tracking how the roads are looking and a potential hazard near concord. We are looking over here sketchy on the details from chp but we will show you a good flow, green sensors around most of the bay. Here is where we have a spill reported basically from what i can tell westbound highway 4 on the southbound 680 right there at the connector. You see concord traffic coming out of bay point. This is noncritical, this doesnt have a closure for that connector as far as i can tell and most folks will cut down 242 thats a great option for you. I will continue to track this and also let you know if they have to send flashing lights and crews, that may be a distraction for 680 coming off the benicia bridge. So far no slowing and its been there for ten minutes. Or the car key das bridge, no delays under the party, the bart tunnel, the transbay tune, muni, ac transit, vta no delays for their buses or trains. Coming up, stopping sexual harassment, tritter Just Announced new guidelines, the changes coming to the social media site. Also kengting San Francisco, the amount of money it would take to provide Super Fast Internet Service to everyone in the city. And amazon looking for a prime location for its new headquarters. San jose not interested, i will tell you why when today in the bay continues. A cloudy start as we take a live look outside in san jose and at times we are still going to have some drips of smoke coming by and the rain doesnt arrive until later on tonight. So only some peeks of sunshine, school temperatures. We should be at 74 but we will stay well below that today. Cooler air and some rain tonight, some pretty good news there, but what about the weekend . We will talk about that coming up at about 5 18. We are look at these great travel times. We are starting to see slowing coming out of livermore into the altamonte pass, smoothly down towards pleasanton and 680. Uc Berkeley Campus police are investigating a reported dorm room sexual assault. The report was called in early monday about an incident that happened sometime saturday. The female victim says she met her attacker at a frat party. Police have not provided a suspect description. Authorities in florida are bracing for possible violent confrontations when a prominent white supremacist appears today at the university of florida. That speaker is White Nationalist leader richard spencer. Police are being deployed. A state of emergency is already declared not the speech is supposed to happen at a Student Center on the edge of campus. School leaders are not certain what to expect. I think in terms of Law Enforcement were prepared. What we just dont know is what is actually going to happen. School leaders say theyve spent weeks preparing and even went to the cal catch us to talk with authorities about how we handle recent altercations here. Twitter says its adding new guidelines to crack down on sexuality harassment. The changes are aimed at protecting women who have nude photos sent to them without consent. Twitter says its better than suspending offender users. Jack dorsey says twitter doesnt do enough to protect people. Were pouring through a new report on bringing high Speed Internet to every home in San Francisco. The cost, nearly 2 billion. The report by a Consulting Company calls for laying fiberoptic cables throughout the city, then the city through a utility would provide low cost internet service. Companies can also lease the infrastructure to sell computing services. Next month the report will be presented to companies in that industry and if it happens it would be the first such utility in the nation. Today is the last day for cities to turn in their proposal to amazon into theyre trying to lure the tech giant into building a massive Second Headquarters in their hometown, scott mcgrew, some cities offering sweetheart deals. From what ive seen the biggest tax breaks, other incentives are really coming from places that are honestly least likely to win this bid. Amazon announced it wanted to build a Second Headquarters somewhere other than this one in seattle they will call it h q2. All kinds of cities have returned in proposals. The city of georgia offered to remain itself amazon, georgia. Here in the bay area concord and vallejo have said they will give it a try. San jose is fine with getting the headquarters but wont make any special effort. Here is san joses mayor talking to cnbc. These companies, Big Companies like amazon want to be where tech talent is and there is no amount of public subsidy, whether its in the form of a tax break, a fee reduction or anything else that is going to suddenly make a 5 billion investment happen. If the workers are not in the city with the stills, ready to roll. The bottom line for san jose is with 3. 8 unemployment san jose doesnt need the jobs. The truth is amazon probably will not pick some small town like the one in georgia which does need the jobs, the jobs and the new headquarters will be for engineers and mbas and its something a big city is honestly more likely to supply. Today is the 30th anniversary of black monday, the moment in 1987 where the dow fell 22 . To this day there is no perfect explanation as to what happened. Panic selling maybe, early days of computers, were that to happen today it would be the equivalent of a 5,000 point drop on the dow. 22 loss on the nasdaq would be 1336. What youre seeing on the screen is an example of what would happen if it were today. If youre watching the tv with the sound down youre having a heart attack right now. It is actually now impossible thanks to Circuit Breakers that have been put in place to stop trading. Yesterday the dow closed at yet another high, it touched 23,000 for a little bit. I think we will see a little bit of money coming off the table today because, why not . There has been such a rally. Thank you very much, scott. Amazon, georgia. A new study says that the historically taboo question of how much money do you make actually isnt a big secret with some people. Millennials are most likely to share their salaries with others, they say they share that information with immediate family. Neither half have revealed their salary to a friend, 30 talk openly about their salaries with coworkers. We dont even have to talk about that because we get paid they tell me i get coffee and water, so its great. You get the free water. We all get that, so its good. Dont have for much more. No iced coffee today, kari, a nice cool start. Its going to be a great day for the hot coffee which marcus saw me walking in with my mug this morning. Its a good morning for that and also making sure that you have a little bit of some rain gear ready for the next 24 hours. As we get a look at these temperatures out there right now, starts out in the mid 50s, but this is actually warmer than we have had it the past several days. Look at napa, its 16 degrees warmer now than it was 24 hours ago, that is all thanks to the cloud cover that greets us as you walk out the door. Mostly cloudy skies, it acts as a blanket and keeps some of that warmth trapped near the surface, as we go through the day not much a warm up so it will be cooler later this afternoon. We are going to reach into the upper 60s in san jose, thats cooler than where we should be for midoctober, some lower 70s for morgan hill and then as we go over towards the east bay, walnut creek, expect a high of 68 degrees, also 68 in hayward and for the peninsula, san mateo, 65, San Francisco some upper 50s to low 60s today and 64 degrees today in santa rosa. Looking at that rain thats starting to move now into oregon and its going to move into the bay area later this afternoon, now, it may start out with light showers in time for the evening commute for napa as well as sonoma counties, but as we go through the day it covers San Francisco, look at the timeline, 10 30 tonight. It wont be until very late if you will be gone all day you might want to grb that rain gear but you will most likely be home by the time it starts to move in. It will also bring this breezy winds as we go into tonight and starting out the day tomorrow as we get an onshore flow keeping our temperatures cool. As far as how much rain we could see, some m models showing the potential of a good soaking in the north bay although we could use a lot more, we could see a quarter of an inch of rain north of the Golden Gate Bridge and San Francisco expect showers tonight, Cool Temperatures leading us into the weekend and a quick warm up next week. For the inland areas upper 60s today, upper 80s by tuesday. We will talk more about that. Mike tracking that mysterious spill near concord. Its still mysterious but still in the same location. We will show you the big look at the bay and traffic flows very nicely for your commute but i am concerned about westbound highway 4 at the 680 southbound connector, to making that corner, told you about that spill reported. Chp has dispatched cruisers over there, we are trying to get more word interest them and my friend sean at the desk is making calls. Make the cut down to 680 and everything seems to be moving smoothly. We will move you up to the north bay, we continue to track the progress on the fire, marcus told you the new numbers there. Highway 12 that fire zone and over in calistoga as well. Avoid those local closures as well throughout but 101, 37 and 80 continue to move smoothly as we have all week. We are looking over towards waze as well. I want to make sure youre looking at the drive from San Francisco and down toward maybe sand hill, menlo park, looking at this as a typical drive and 101 is the easiest, the quickest route not only in purple. This is why we need that 380 connector. It cuts down all the time. Saves you ten minutes instead of cutting through menlo park and getting over toward 101 in
