Reporter but the president of the Berkeley College republicans, who is hosting tonights event says students deserve to hear all viewpoints. When they dont hear that right wing perspective. I hope that a lot of students that dont agree with ann come and ask the questions. Ive been here since 2017 when stuff really hit the fan. Reporter he is talking about the fiery protests that erupted in when far right commentator milo was supposed to speak on campus. Masked protesters threw firework, rocks and even molotov cocktails. The university was forced the clean up the damage, which cost cal 100,000. Absolutely. I think weve learned a lot from 2017, particularly how we police the events. You may have seen over time a transition toward direct engagement in event in these events where officers are separating crowds. And back out here live, you are looking at wheeler hall that is where ann coulter will take the stage starting at 9 00 p. M. You can see just around the building, police have set up barriers to make sure things do not get out of hand. But i can tell you right now, students are gathering around and it doesnt seem like there are a lot of protesters out here demonstrating just yet. But i want to emphasize those two words just yet, because we know the antifascist groups, they have spread the message on social media as well as posting pliers all around campus that they are calling on people. They are calling on students to demonstrate ann coulters event tonight. We know that Campus Police and berkeley police, they are working, teaming up together to make sure we dont see a repeat of what happened back in 2017. Thats the latest here from berkeley.

No power or heat as the pg e shutoffs are impacng a lot communities, specifically in the north bay. Just a few minutes ago, pg e telling us you need to be careful if you live in an area thats under a red flag warning. If you live within one of those red flag areas, please remain vigilant. What we are doing in our preemptive deenergization is eliminating one potential source of initiation of catastrophic wildfires. The concern is high winds could knock or damage pg e power lines which could then start a fire. By the way, that red flag warning expires tomorrow morning. For many people, specifically in the north bay this is their fifth pg e shutoff in two months. Theyre learning how to cope, but theyre not very happy about it. Nbc bay areas Jodi Hernandez joins us in santa rosa in the dark. Jodi . Reporter raj, this area east santa rosa is no working streetlights, no working traffic lights. The traffic lights at this intersection of highway 12 and Mountain Hawk road stopped working at about 7 00 this morning. And people who live in this area say they are getting tired of being plunged in the dark. This is like our fourth or fifth round in the last month or six weeks. Maureen johnson has become a pro at getting through power outages. Blocks of ice. Reporter she packed her refrigerator with ice. And then reporter stocked up on lanterns. And she has her batteryoperated radio on hand to keep up with the daily news. Its crazy. I dont know if this is our new normal, but i dont like it. Reporter as the wind kicked in, pg e began shutting off power to thousands once again this morning. For some in santa rosa, its the fifth time since the beginning of october. I dont think any of us would have imagined wed be here in november dealing with another power shutoff and a red flag warning. Reporter tarosas Emergency Operation center is once again fully staffed, and theyre gearing up for another possible wind event and power shutdown next week. Yes, were giving up power, but hopefully its going to stop the fires. Reporter with five shutdowns now under her belt, kathy tapi decided to upgrade her generator. We got a larger generator for this outage. And this is supposed to power our whole house. So well see. Reporter people here say roughing it is getting really old. You lose all your groceries in the refrigerator and cant sometimes take a shower because no hot water, oro, cd water. Its nuts. Reporter were back here live at one of the many dark intersections in the santa rosa area. The city of santa rosa has placed stop signs out at these dark intersections to help drivers navigate through the fourway stops. The good news is this power outage isnt expected to last as long as previous ones. The city tells me they hope the lights will turn back on some time tomorrow. Reporting live in santa rosa, im Jodi Hernandez, nbc bay area news. All right, jodi, thank you. The strong winds are a concern. Lets bring in our chief meteorologist jeff ranieri with the updated timeline for this microclimate weather alert. And we really see those winds starting to slowly drop as we head throughout the next several hours. We did have some top wind gusts earlier today, up to 59 Miles Per Hour at mt. Saint helena. 53 mount diablo. Santa cruz 20 to 40. So the fire warning expires 7 00 a. M. Tomorrow. Again, thats in effect for the Higher Elevations of the north bay, east bay and the south bay. So here is my wind forecast. Again, dropping over the next 12 hours in the mountains, 20 to 40 Miles Per Hour. Valley gusts of 10 to 20. And that is all really northbay focused at this point. Anyone using a generator, i want you to know without any kind of heat, we have cold temperatures, 30s and 40s on the way. Speaking of the cold, we are going to have a look at some really chilly temperatures, and some bigtime sierra snow that could be on the way. Thats in about ten minutes. Okay, thank you, jeff. Blockbuster and explosive among the words being used to describe todays testimony in the house impeachment hearing. In his opening statement, Ambassador Gordon Sondland declared the Ukraine Pressure Campaign was quid pro quo, but it was his understanding that ukraines president would get the white house meeting he wanted if he publicly promised to investigate a discredited theory about 2016 election interference and a company tied to joe bidens son. Sondland claimed everyone was in the loop and that secretary of state, Vice President , and others knew. East bay congressman Eric Swalwell pressed about his involvement of the president s lawyer, rudy giuliani. The president told you to talk to rudy. You talked to him a couple of times. You told us in september talk to the president a couple of times. Did the president ever say to you stop talking to rudy . No. Did he ever say dont any longer talk to rudy . No. More surprising testimony came later from Deputy Assistant secretary of defense laura cooper. She testified Ukrainian Embassy was asking questions of her staff about the freezing of military aid as far back as july. Now well have full coverage of todays hearings and analysis coming up at 6 30. No school today at san joses oak grove high school. The principal cancelling classes after yesterdays bomb threat. Tonight an Fbi Crime Lab is analyzing the homemade bomb found in the student parking lot. Police confirm it was a functioning device until the bomb squad took care of it. Because of the threat, more than 1800 students were on lockdown for several hours yesterday before eventually evacuating the campus. Some students showed up to get their cars left behind when they were forced to evacuate. Its scary because they obviously dont know who made that. Or how it got there or when exactly it got there or why it was there. So it is a little scary. The districts superintendent says no direct threats were made to the school or staff members. Now when oak grove reopens tomorrow, students can expect to see extra Police Patrols and counselors. Well, facebook coming to fremont. And while its not a secret, you may not know just how big a footprint it plans to put down in the east bay. Nbc bay areas robert handa joins us from the site really, krowi. Well, thats right. Facebook is coming here to the north section of fremont where city officials have long wanted more tech businesses. Now many people we talked to here say facebook will be a very good addition, but still worry it might be too much of a good thing. Facebook is already busy with numerous Construction Projects all over the citys north section known as the ardenwood district. City officials confirm facebook is not only involved in new construction but also bought two nearby buildings. All told, its reportedly taking over more than 720,000 square fee. Samir sarkabi lives in the neighborhood. He says facebook will be good for the city, but huge headache. Just the cost of living here. So i see there are some pros and cons to it. I talk about the cons. The process obviously better jobs, more job opportunities, you know, with something as big as facebook. Reporter city Officials Say facebook fits right into their plans for the 2. 7 million square feet of space and emphasizes facebook has said it will work frent to address impacts such as traffic and housing. Plus vice mayer raj sawn says many residents already work for facebook. We have all this brain talent. Every day they have to spend two hours going to palo alto, menlo park. So its very frustrate fargo lot of folks. Im hoping. Wishful thinking that something positive will come out more than something negative. You dont mind having this many new neighbors . Well see. Thats a hard question to answer. Reporter well, it is hard to predict the impact of possibly up to 20,000 new workers here. Still, the mayor vice mayor points out that it will still take a couple of years to complete the projects, but remember, facebook will not be the last company here for as big as their footprint will be, there is still plenty of room t.

Reporter bart Police Walked out of the hayward station yesterday with bags of evidence after the stabbing. The Alameda CountySheriffs Office tells us brim stabbed and killed 49yearold oakland man oliver williams. Brim was allegedly trying to steal someones shoes on the bart train when williams tried to stop him, and brim used a pocket knife the victim was carrying to stab and kill him.
