And thank you for joining us this morning. It is thursday, or friday eve. And march 14th. Little baby friday. Good morning, everybody. Lets get started. Tiktok and social media is such a great way for people to share ideas and assemble and learn. I know our lawmakers like to pass it off as the silly little app where dances happen and kids hang out. Could it all be coming to an end for content creators like this one . Tiktok is part of their livelihood, but the clock is ticking over the fate of the app. Whole thing took place in like ten seconds and i was like screaming and i was honking. Frightened, even inside your own car. Just one story of what Oakland Police say has become an alarming trend. As you will see tonight, theres maybe two or three that are trying to come in to sleep so, you know, the results are really noticeable. At first, it might look like a scene straight out of the classic movie the birds. But these hawks are helping keep oakland streets safe. I was looking for female mentors and i was looking to be a part of a company that really valued diversity, and especially at the top. Celebrating the female leaders doing all the work off the court and field. Bringing the sports world to the bay. Good morning to all of you. Happy thursday. And were telling those stories of these Inspiring Women all morning long. But i want to go back to the hawk real quick. Tiny bits of mice. Thats what you call a tease for whats coming up in that story. Thats breakfast for a hawk. If that doesnt make you hungry, i dont know what does. Im gianna franco. Yum. Lets go live outside to see what a hawk could fly through this morning. To get the tiny bits of frozen mice. Wow. Its a first alert weather day. So the hawk are going to have to have some strong muscles and some firm feathers. Hows that for alliteration . Jessica . Jump to it. That was a good one. No. I love it. Its also a first alert weather day too. So they are definitely going to have to muscle through all these gusty conditions as we head into the afternoon hours. Im flying this afternoon too and this is going to be an interesting one for the blackhawk. Not for a normal hawk. Now as we take a quick look at whats going on outside on this beautiful thursday morning, despite the wind, we are starting to clear up daybyday in the weekend forecast. Today sunny as can be and continue to warm up heading into our weekend forecast and we just have to get through the wind advisory first. And it is impacting many of us throughout the bay area. This is a friendly reminder now if you have any outdoor objects in the front ore back lawn and you want to bring them in before they start blowing around at work or school today. Probably a good time to do so. Already gusty though and were seeing wind speeds anywhere up to around 30 Miles Per Hour in the north bay and we continue to watch gusty breezy conditions really develop off into the east bay too in area lake danville and concord. Now watch what happens as we head into the afternoon and it actually starts to die down just a little bit into the overnight hours tonight. And then it strengthens as we wake up friday morning. With some of the strongest winds in communities like sonoma all the way over into communities like petaluma and into the Early Morning hours. Now the National Weather service will expire that advisory by 11 00 a. M. And heres the reason why the winds start dying down. Were left with beautiful conditions this weekends forecast. But for now, the big concern for us on this first alert weather day could be downed trees and Power Outages and of course this is just an inconvenience. This is not the best hair day by any means. So lots of changes in the forecast for us in a beautiful weekend and more on that coming up in a bit. For now over to you, g. Thank you. I have got a lot to get there hmong as well. We have two separate Traffic Alerts. These are the headlines and starting this morning commute. A little tough for anyone working northbound 280 as we see more and more cars out there. Things getting busier near highway 1. A Traffic Alert has been issued. This is a deadly crash and theres an investigation under way as well. And its been out there for over an hour. So no word yet when the lanes will open up and you have two Still Available where traffic is sort of squeezing through there. But its going to get just a bitbusier for the morning drive. Another big trouble spot this morning. Where we see a lot of traffic already. Westbound 580 grant line road, the right lane is still blocked for an overturned big rig and its going to take some time to clear this one out of the lanes. You are seeing speeds down to about 7 Miles Per Hour or look at that just updated. 6 Miles Per Hour. Very slow commute heading into the Altamont Pass. Looking live over at capitol hill, a Major New Development in the battle over a bill to potentially ban tiktok. Former treasury secretary Steve Mnuchin is saying quote its a great business. Meantime the bill to ban the app now heads to the u. S. Senate. After the house voted it through yesterday. It would require the popular app to cut ties with its china based Parent Company bytedance or else. The bill passed with an overwhelmingly bipartisan vote. Now tiktok has to make their decision within six months. Now it all stems from the possibility that the Chinese Government could use tiktok to spy on americans or spread misinformation. China should not have the control over americans that tiktok gives them. I have yet to receive one piece of public evidence that actually shows that somehow china is actually negatively using our data. Tiktoks ceo responded on the app, arguing the legislation violates the first amendment. President biden says he will sign it if it reaches his desk. Well, big corporations and governments are fighting over this, millions of ordinary people use the app to just make a living. Amanda hari spoke with a local creator about what a ban would mean for them. Really great. I have local i just found the coolest speakeasy in the inner sunset. Reporter kara harms has been on tiktok since the beginning. I have been creating content for nine years now. And it started with instagram and then when tiktok came on the scene, in like 2019, i immediately jumped on it. Reporter harms makes content about traveling in the city of San Francisco, often promoting small local businesses. Recently someone told me they can feel how much i love San Francisco through my content. I like to speed things up. Reporter in about five years, her page whimsysoul has amassed a following of 350,000 people. More than 7 Million People have liked and interacted with her content. But soon, all of that could be coming to an end. Really annoyed and im not going to lie. Tiktok and social media is such a great way for people to share ideas and assemble and learn and i know our lawmakers like to pass it off as this silly little app where dances happen and kids hang out. But my husband learned sourdough that hes baking right now. Reporter but lawmakers are concerned tiktoks Parent Company, the chinese owned bytedance, could use the app to spy on americans, spread misinformation, or sew divisions. California state east bay professor of media studies dr. Nolan higdon says even free apps come at a cost. I think one of the mistakes that a lot of folks make is that they think it is free. You know, you have to give up your privacy. Which is, you know, a huge cost to a lot of folks. And everything you do on there, everything you create, all the time you spend on there, thats labor. And you are not paid for it any sort of wage, but meanwhile the platform profits from it. Reporter and harms says that ban wouldnt just hurt her, but her staff. She has five people working for her and says many other creators also have employees. Now were just going to upload that. Reporter most of the money she earns is through sponsored content. She says without tiktok to post it on, shell likely lose 30 of her total revenue. Might have to cut people and we just hired on a new email manager this morning actually. So i hope i dont have to cancel that contract. So well see. For more continuing coverage on tiktoks potential ban, stay with us on air, online at kpix.

Reports this morning of an investigation finding one of the Board Members faces complaints and now potential censure. Embattled valley water director Rebecca Eisenberg investigated after complaints of discrimination, harassment, and the mishandling of confidential information. The board of directors will consider the findings of an investigation and how to move forward at a meeting today. Dozens of people arrested during a protest that shut down the bay bridge in november will face a judge today. The protest happened as President Joe Biden and other World Leaders were in San Francisco for the asiapacific Economic Cooperation summit. Hundreds took over the bridge demanding a ceasefire in gaza and among the charges, the protesters face charges of false imprisonment. Well be watching what happens there in court today. Things are running smoothly this morning at San Francisco international airport. But it was much different story yesterday. In fact, take a look at this behind me. Protesters blocking multiple roadways and blocking security gates and this went on for several hours inside and outside the International Terminal. Outside, you can see them there. Holding signs and chanting and all of them demanding a ceasefire in gaza. In fact, at one point, they blocked the road in front of the terminal and cars also blocked lanes on the ramp leading to the International Terminal parking area. So Police Closed the ramp and they ticketed and towed away five vehicles. Listen. [ chanting ] so that was outside, this was the sound and the sight inside. Press locking arms in front of a security checkpoint. We want people to know that although we dont want to negatively impact our community, it cannot be business as usual. And so we are invoking the timehonored american tradition of civil disobedience to bring light to the injustice that this needs to stop. No flights impacted but atofficials had to diverse passengers, nobody was arrested San Francisco police say. Governor gavin newsom reports success after sending in the chp to combat crime in oakland. But one woman has a story saying theres a whole lot more work to do to keep her safe. And later, a potential crisis at home. The extreme risk looking live at oakland on the kickoff to restaurant week. More than 100 restaurants over ten days working hard hoping to draw people over the bridges from all over the bay. You know, its a difficult time to do Something Like this in oakland for people and their businesses, there are struggles. We know many have shut down or even had to change the way they do business because of robberies. The chp says a crackdown made a dent in crime, but Oakland Police by their own numbers report that robberies are up 32 year over year. In fact, police say even parked cars with drivers inside are still the targets. And we found a human story connected to this. A woman named aria says a robber follow herd home and smashed her car window and stole her purse and she wants out of oakland. I havent left at all by myself since that happened. So im just you know, waiting to fix my whole car situation and get everything settled with insurance and im going to dip. [ laughter ] i already told my parents i have to go. I dont feel safe really. She learn what had police want everybody to know. If you think you are being followed dont go home. Drive to a police or fire station. Live look outside on this thursday morning. As you grab the coffee and wake up and peek out the window, pretty clear, look at the gorgeous view of San Francisco. You can see a little bit of 80 coming into the city. Its a first alert weather day. A wind advisory for most of the bay area is in effect right now. And jess, you have more on that shortly but first, you have a story of a massive landslide in southern california. I know. If were not catching a break, they are not either and unfortunately one home was completely flattened. And three others were severely damaged as a result and now check out the cell phone footage of the aftermath. The incident unfolded just before 3 00 tomorrow morning in the sherman oaks neighborhood. It was considered high risk for landslides and they are currently taking samples to figure out what caused the hills to actually give way in that community. Now this was in southern california. Up here in Northern California here in the bay area, were dealing with clear skies luckily. No rain in sight. However, it is breezy for us. Waking up and heading out the door were under a wind advisory and weve issued a first alert weather day because of that. Heading into the afternoon hours today, we can see wind speeds anywhere up to around 30 to 40 Miles Per Hour. Gusting up to 50 Miles Per Hour. Take a look at the wind speeds this morning alone. Were already seeing that right now in communities like sonoma and petaluma. Stretching all the way down into Stinson Beach about 40mileperhour winds currently in the communities. That wind continues to move in from the north as we head into the afternoon hours today to gets stronger just around 10 00 up near angwin. Danville off into east bay is a good example of breezy conditions in the local communities and continue to watch this die down in the overnight hours tonight but then strengthen tomorrow morning around this time around 5 30. About 50mileperhour winds forecasted in communities like sonoma all the way up into calistoga. But then the National Weather service expires that advisory by 11 00 and were left with lighter winds through the rest of this weekend. So the wind are definitely whipping up the pollen right now in the air and thats the reason why were in the medium to high category for the day today and tomorrow in the forecast for us. When it comes to our pollen count and then it decreases slowly into this weekend. We have the bad news out of the way and lets talk about thed if news, theres plenty of things happening for us this weekend to look forward to. The st. Patricks day parade in San Francisco on market street. Expecting upper 60s there and warming up in the 70s all throughout the inland areas which is just Perfect Timing to watch the blue angels fly over at Travis Air Force base heading into this weekends forecast. It is going to be gorgeous for us and were already getting close to the 70s actually. Were sitting in the upper 60s today. Well continue to watch this warming trend into the weekend forecast. In areas like concord and antioch and stretching all the way across the bay bridge over into the San Francisco. Its going to be a warm one for us there. And down into the Santa Clara Valley we go, some of the warmest weather well see is actually going to happen in the communities and look at that camera shaking as we wake up this morning. It is breezy in our higher elevated areas and so just take it slow out there. Of course if you have outdoor objects you dont want blowinginto the neighbors yards, maybe hunker that down this morning before you head to work or school. Today and tomorrow we are under the wind advisory. But 70s earl flex week and partly cloudy skies right around the corner. The windy conditions and wind advisories for some of the bay area bridges. So keep that in mind as you commute this morning. Couple of things though to look out for. Weve got two major headlines happening as it comes to traffic. First off is that trouble spot in daly city. Weve had an eye on this for over an hour northbound 280 just past highway 1. Deadly crash unfortunately. Still lanes are closed heading through there. Three lanes and you have two lanes that you are squeezing byin and traffic sort of bottlenecks in the area because of that. Hopefully they can clear the cars out of the area. But there was an investigation as well because it was a deadly crash. So just be extra careful as you commute in and around there. The traffic isnt too bad because its still quite early. Heres our other major trouble spot. This is westbound 580 right around grant line road overturned big rig and its blocking at least that right lane. But traffic again very busy coming all the way out of tracy and Mountain House area all the way into the Altamont Pass. Its windy here as well. And traffic is definitely backed up. Pretty significantly and give yourself extra time and a supercommuter you are going to need a lot of extra time trying to head to the dublin interchange or work your way all the way towards the 880 connector.
