Back to you. Now to breaking news that were following on capitol hill this morning. The federal government is back open this morning after briefly shut down overnight. Lawmakers stayed up all night and finally reached a deal on immigration and spending a few hours ago. Today in the bays tracie potts live in washington right now with how this deal will impact all of us, good morning, tracie. Reporter good morning. Initially its interesting that we dont know how its impacting federal workers. Many offices scrambling to try to figure out whether or not they will be open or when they will be open today as we still await President Trumps signature on this budget deal, the last we heard from speaker ryans spokesperson is that its been delivered to the white house but no word on whether or not he signed off on it. The white house had said that he would. In the middle of the night lawmakers shut down the government after one person, rand paul, refused to let the vote happen before midnight because he was concerned about the price tag of this budget. America spending too much, he said, and borrowing too much. Then lawmakers were able to reverse that, the senate did a do over, they came up with a temporary budget that takes us another six weeks and a two Year Spending plan that includes 131 billion for domestic spending, plus more for military spending, some of what republicans wanted, some of what democrats wanted, but nothing on immigration. The senate will start debating that monday afternoon. Back to you. Busy time in d. C. Thank you, tracie. Now to the coverage of the 2018 olympic winter games.

Happening today you can find out ways to help as guest speakers from puerto rico will be in the bay area talking about the ongoing hurricane recovery efforts. Hundreds of thousands of Puerto Ricans still without power, nearly five months following hurricane maria. Speakers will be appearing at two Silicon Valley events today, they will talk about whats needed to rebuild and the need for solar power. The dangers of earthquakes, something all of us here in the bay area deal with. So what would happen if a major earthquake hit one of the bay areas main fault lines . Researchers at Lawrence LivermoreNational Laboratory are using new technology to simulate a massive 7. 0 earthquake on the hayward fault from san jose all the way up to berkeley. Thom jensen is live with new video. Talk to us about how much of an impact that size quake would have on our area. Reporter it would be significant, marcus. This really does give us the best picture so far with this new technology and we are here outside the stadium on the uc Berkeley Campus because the hayward fault actually runs right through the football field here. So this would be ground zero if there was a quake on the hayward fault here. That new super computer simulate that are they just put into action to show people what this would look like if there was a magnitude 7. 0 earthquake or anything like that. What that would look like. Seismologists warn there is a one in three chance there would be a 6. 7 or higher within the next 30 years. This model shows there would be widespread damage to buildings, roads, rail waist and utilities in the east bay and the economic and social impacts would be significant. Scientists at the Lawrence Livermore and Lawrence BerkeleyLaboratory Say that the new simulations gives us the clearest picture yet of what that event would look like. One thing they noted was that the east side of the fault would show more significant damage in the Orinda Moraga area and would experience more shaking than berkeley and oakland on the west side, however there, could be more sustained damage because of the shear population on the west side with berkeley and oakland and more buildings out here. A couple quick safety notes, if you do find yourself in an earthquake it is better to drop and cover and the people who know better say do not stand up. Its always better to take cover under a table they used to say, in a doorway, thats not so, and you do still want to stay away from windows, however, and make a mental note of those areas in your home where there is good cover around tables and other areas. Also keep a lot of bottled water and nonperishable foods on hand and an earthquake kit. Its best to have one of those around your desk and around your home, your desk at work and around your home, an earthquake kit like this one you can keep in your car or in your home and at work, it has water in it, has a little light that you can break open, it stays lit for 12 hours and if anybody needs to find you, even a whistle. So have Something Like this on hand is very smart. Were live in berkeley, thom jensen, today in the bay. Recheck your earthquake kits, you may put nonperishable food in there but check the dates. Thanks so much, thom. Were getting ready for a look at the nice weather thats continuing across the bay area. A little bit of patchy fog, nothing too dense as of now. As the morning goes along sometimes we start to see the fog developing and getting thicker. Right now in santa rosa visibility still pretty good at four miles. We have seen light patchy fog moving into livermore, but as of now once again it looks pretty clear. As we start out the day in oakland we will be at 53 degrees at 8 00, some upper 60s as we go throughout the afternoon, briefly hitting that 70 degree mark and cooling down quickly. Make sure you do have a jacket as you get ready to head out. Going for a jog in san jose early this morning we begin with temperatures in the low 50s and if you go around 10 00 it will be about 63 degrees with sunshine, at noon 71 degrees. So starting to get very warm. As we head over to mike now youre starting out with two reports for san jose. Im trying to sort out the differences. Sounded like a duplicate but now the details come in a little bit differently. Looking toward most of the bay an easy flow of traffic. We are tracking that crash and the slowing because a lanes are blocked, a couple lanes westbound 80 over at cummings sky way. Now, originally i had a report of this, now something going on 880 at coleman. Turns out there may be a roadside fire, a little brush fire. It doesnt sound like a bigger deal. There was also a crash reported in the area around brokaw and 101 coming in toward that area. We are tracking both of those scenes and i will see if the details from brokaw are the same or if there is a crash that is found. No slowing shows up on our roadway there. An earlier crash southbound 280 just off 85 coming over here, that should be clear from the roadway but the crews are on the shoulder because there is a damaged fence, just keep that in mind as well. Coming up next on today in the bay, disturbing allegations against a popular airline, a woman coming forward this morning saying that she was forced to flush her pet hamster down a toilet before boarding a flight. More market mayhem, dow down more than a thousand points. Good friday morning. Right now at 5 12 as youre getting ready to pack up the car and head to the sierra lets get a look at our forecast. Squaw valley and Alpine Meadows today up to rather tomorrow up to 39 degrees, on sunday 45 and early next week slight chance of some snow flurries there. We have 49 inches of snow at the base and some of the trails still open. Here is a look at the comparison from pyeongchang, south korea, 28 degrees to 35 right now in squaw valley. We will take a look at our forecast with some cooler air ahead, not this cool, but some cooler temperatures coming up. And no problem right here for 580 coming out of the altamonte pass, 84 a little bit of slowing, a few cars on the roadway. The south bay your northbound commute looks just fine, im still tracking details on a couple southbound crashes coming up. And in Business News this morning, more market mayhem. Welcome back to you. Take a look at these numbers, the dow saw its second largest point loss in history on thursday. The first biggest point loss, well, it used to be the first biggest point loss was earlier this week, dow down more than 1,000. Now, the irony in here is caused in part by fears the economy is growing too quickly. Keep in mind the stock market the numbers and the economy are not the same thing. Tax breaks, those thousand dollars bonuses all contributing to fears the economy is hot and Interest Rates will go up. Twitter and facebook making news this morning. Lets get to4q . N amazon alexa, except it uses siri. Its getting very tepid reviews, one reviewer not happy with siri saying it is dumber on the speaker than it is on the phone. Now, the speaker itself sounds again mem. I have alexa, i hooked her up to my home stereo system and thats really great. Its really great and they are only 50 bucks if you buy the little one. You are talking about apple, a lot of people love apple products, but new this morning terrifying moments for a tampa man who actually had his apple air pods, those little ones you put in your ear, they were blown out literally. Jason cou jason noticed smoke coming from her ear pods. He set the pods down and when he return he was shocked to find the right ear bud blown apart and it was charred. He says hes thankful he took outxon the headphones just in. I dont know what would have happened to my ear but im sure since it hangs down it could have been earlobe, my earlobe could have got burnt. An apple spokesnf said investigating and will reach out to the man. New this morning the latest dispute involving an Airline Passenger sparking controversy and questions about the line on animals. That dispute started last november with a College Student who was told by telephone that Spirit Airlines would allow her to bring her pet hamster on board as a support animal. The airline backtracked. The student said at the airport she ended up having to flush her beloved hamster down the toilet. This is tough if this is her support animal. She claims that an Airline Worker advised her to do so. Spirit denies that claim. The airline does say that the passenger was initially mist informed. The airline also said that she was offered a later flight to make arrangementsbsdx for her hamster. It just seems inhumane. 5 16. When it comes to setting records, two it typically better than one, especially for one chicago area high school. They just set a Guinness World record with 44 sets of twins in one high school class. Its no strength record, its no academic record. Its more luck. Its exciting because its every kids dream to be in the guinness book of world record. Thats just two of the 88 twins in the sophomore clash. Not to mention one set of triplets as well, about 10 of the class is made up of twins. Three times the average rate. And it shatters their old record of 24 sets of twins. You can see the whole story doing double take later on today. I wonder if theres a record for triplets. I dont want to set it. Ive done enough already i think to contribute. Right now before you head out the door we want to get a check whats going on weather wise. Another warm day. Its going to be warm, but lets get used to cooler temperatures because thats on the way, too. Its not supposed to be this warm. As we get a look at what it feels like now as you get ready to head out the door its mostly in the low 40s, although we have had low 50s for San Francisco, oakland and also in san jose. We have some 40s elsewhere. The sevenday forecast is up at the bottom of the screen and you will be able to see us heading back closer to normal for this time of year, but lets talk about today, our record highs and what im forecasting for this afternoon. We should stay below these records in most spots except for oakland, looks like we could tie the record there, and santa rosa will be one degree below the record high temperature, but much of the bay area reaching into the mid 70s. So lets see how that looks as we plan out our day. We will be at 52 degrees at 8 00 in san jose, noontime 71 degrees, great day to take the lunch outside or go for a nice long walk once you get off of work, it will be in the low 70s and cooling off quickly. We still have a high amount of tree pollen, youve probably seen the trees, it looks like this with those white flowers, they are just blooming all over the bay area and very early, too, because we are still seeing some very warm temperatures, i think its spring. Well, we are going to have an area of low pressure dropping in as we go into the next couple of days. Look at what happens, we call this an inside slider, it stays inland and misses out on the bay area, but may bring in some light snow flurries for parts of the sierra and also could bring in some light rain for southern california, but for us we will just feel the winds pick up and its still going to be dry into next week. So maybe you will kick off your weekend at the Chinese New Year street fair, that happening in San Francisco, wear something nice and warm, it wont be as warm as today, some lower 60s in the forecast and let me know about your weekend plans. I will have the complete weekend forecast, thats coming up in about 20 minutes. So hang out for a little while. Were going to see those temperatures in the mid 60s, some gusty winds, especially between late saturday night and early sunday morning. Thats when we will also have an increased fire danger into next week, some highs in the mid to upper 60s inland. Mike, you have an update on those crashes. We have another one as we were coming to set i saw it pop up on the chp report. We are looking over here, it was over here, 101 at tully, it sounds like a minor issue so i took it off the screen until i get more detail. Sounded like no lanes were blocked. We have this update, though, i have more right by sjc, there are the runways for san jose international, its southbound 101 at brokaw road, thats where the crash ended up being the final location because chp is arriving on scene now. No lanes reportedly blocked and we dont see the slowing and thats the good news. Also the fire that was reported 880 over at coleman sounds like it was a smaller issue, maybe a brush fire and thats cleared from the chp report as well. The south bay looking pretty good but were tracking that because weve seen a number of incidents pop up there. Still a little slowing as you travel past the single car spinout and the lanes blocked for the activity at cummings sky way, a little slow through rodeo and clearing by the time you get to hercules, thats the upper east shore freeway, a smoother drive toward the bay bridge. Our emeryville camera, i turned to see a beautiful view but now we see some slowing. Were slowing around the bend, looks like someone was tapping the brakes and there may be a disabled vehicle in the trunl, we will track this but so far no backup at the bay bridge toll pla plaza. Back to you. Coming up on today in the bay, watch your mailboxes, this morning we will show you a way to protect yourself from thieves this tax season. Welcome back, everyone. Its 5 24. New this morning the opening of San Franciscos new Transbay Transit Center still months away but some groups still concerned about what they believe is a homeless strategy that falls short. Neighborhood groups believe the new fivestory center may end up drawing higher amounts of homeless people. The security plan that is in place already calls for an active Homeless Outreach team, but according to the examiner some groups want increased measures, especially for the surrounding neighborhoods. More details now, overnight we looked closer at San Franciscos most recent homeless numbers. The citys 2017 count recorded just and you 7,500 homeless people, that was a 1 dip from the year before. Over four years the number of homeless in San Francisco is up 2 . Good news for thousands of families in the bay area. Its official, two of oakland city workers largest unions have approved a new contract. The fight over the contract really disrupted Services Back in october i mean december, rather. Thats because 3,000 city workers walked off their jobs, shutting down head start programs, libraries and other important servic
