Structures that were able to be saved, i think theres a car a couple cars burned there and then look this home they were able to save that home. So they are trying to save homes as they continue to evacuate homes. James, yeah and those evacuation zones have changed a bit over the last 24 hours. Heres the y perspective. Again its still just an evacuation warning for a lot of the the coast leading out towards a highway one oh one. Thats the situation that you see in blue that we course have the mandatory evacuation zone in purple that is unchanged it still includes the town of geyserville and healdsburg and winds are as you can see here as we zoom in on the map. And again all those communities are still within the mandatory evacuation zone, not so much because the fire is actively burning in their direction but because its still very dangerous and they need those roads to move around and mobilize all the Fire Fighting equipment that they need when term we talk about active burn youre going to look for these red dots those are the most recent fires, a couple on the southern edge, but the majority of the activity has been out to the east bordering up on napa and so and lake county which is why theres a section of nap4 county now which includes calistoga thats under a evacuation warning and then to the north in lake county. We have a few zones have been activated to and theyre in an evacuation warning as well and you can see it stretches from far northern sections of the county line there between lake county and Sonoma County all the way down through cobb and then down closer to the fire still in and around middletown, where you can see as we zoom and the new fires that have erupted in the last 24 hours really are eating into that hillside that can that can next. Sonoma and lake county edging their way closer and closer towards middletown, which is why that communities in that evacuation warning zone today. Yeah, only people allowed in their media and fire teams and thats why kron fours will tran was able to get a look. From a place a lot of people cant be. Yesterday you were taking windy roads is pretty difficult to get where you are how about today. Today were on the street level which is why we can zoom in right now once the sun comes up. Well go back to that great Vantage Point just to show you above the fire and how it looks but right now you can clearly see the glow on the ridge and this is just above middletown. Hopefully its stays there. The sun should be up in about an hour from now and when the sun comes up. So will the aircraft. Let me show you video from yesterday this fire as they were fearful. It moved into lake county and metal town which is why the folks here. They have been told for the past couple of days, get your bags ready to go because at any moment the fire could explode and move down to the neighborhoods, forcing them to evacuate. Again and i say that again because a couple years ago they were on the front lines when middletown was forced to evacuate when the fires back in 2018 race npthrough this area causing firefighters to try to contain the lines at that particular time right now they are up on the hillside. Presumably sleeping to contain the fire lines fortunately it has not left the ridge line has not moved too much further what we saw yesterday but since is so remote james and area. You can hear the aircraft they have to fight it mostly from that the air dropping the fire retardant down to that location. Great news and we were told preemptively yesterday to get to middletown because everyone expected this place to be extremely windy. It is not windy this morning. So thankfully thats the case and usually over the past couple of days with the lack of when the air quality is horrible because the wind stays on top of us, but this morning guys human borough amateur as ive always said, breathing is not a problem but getting around stabbing could be a problem because power is out for most middletown, i see one area with a light is on i would assume that place has a generator but for a downtown middletown, we went there. The restaurants are closed and the businesses and the. Surrounding areas they are in the dark back to you all right, thanks a lot, well lot of people are like to get back into their evacuated homes see whats left and in some cases of downtown areas have been on top. By night you still cannot return weve got first christine to take actually talking to some of those evacuees that have been. A shelter there in Sonoma County. Whats the latest this morning, christina. So far this morning obviously its still very early so we do have hundreds and the back you leaves that are still sleeping here at the Sonoma County fairgrounds its one of the largest Evacuation Centers and its actually one of 9 a set up and actually if you can see behind me though we have some movement over here something thats been going on this morning that we havent really shown yet so far during this fire coverages these are a lot of the firefighters that are switching. Gears right now theyre in the middle coming from sleeping as well in some of the same areas of the evacuees are so right now so far this morning with say about 30 minutes weve had hundreds of firefighters, switching gears as i mentioned and going to sleep before leaving their sleeping quarters and going out help battle this blaze. Now theyve really goes to show how important these Evacuation Centers are this Evacuation Center specifically here at the their ground is so large it holds not only the evacuees also were First Responders and you think about it this is pretty the oneweek mark since firefighters have been battling this blaze as well the oneweek mark since a lot of evacuees have had to come here for different resources. So a lot of people, tired and i dont want to speak for anyone saying that anyone is necessarily discourage in this process, but as you can imagine what being an evacuee would be like someone whos lost almost everything but was unsure of where there home is theres a lot of an easy feelings there so couldnt hear from an evacuee right now. Dont be afraid. If you end having to come to shelter like i was because can be good. Thats a good experience so wakeup call for everyone to know that where this much away from not having anything. And just as that woman said theyre so close. Having their entire home something theyve built their entire life completely demolished show. Were hoping obviously is that these winds continue to die down firefighters continue to work so hard to bottle this place of it. Something else that has been on the minds of a lot of vacuum you so far that ive chatted with with. Throughout this process is of course. Unfortunately that does we p. And so far i do have an update from the Sonoma County sheriff that so far there been 3 arrests that have been made for north arise unauthorized access to the evacuation areas as was the 3 Police Reports for looting that been made and thats pretty much people that have been found are there is because if you think about it when a lot of people leave under evacuation orders their home is very vulnerable and people not going tensions knowing that that so right now test update from the snow county sheriffs and make sure have more information for you on that as well reporting live here in Sonoma County christina teatro kron 4 news, thanks a lot. Christine, a. And another problem is power. Rolling blackouts that p gs and posing on and the worry last night of course is that we have more community is thrown into the dark because of the winds luckily, they did not blow nearly as hard as peach and was worried and so for that reason because they cant monitoring it minute to minute. Theyve made decision not to turn off the power. In Alameda County in Contra Costa CountySanta Clara County san mateo county. And santa cruz counties and a lot of folks there went to bed last night wondering if the lights were going to be out when they woke up, but youre waking up this morning to power and you can see here on the map all the green indicators showing us that the power is a fully there for customers theres a few spots as you can see a few dots of purple here and there but those are what we believe are left over Power Outages from this past weekend. Work crews just havent had a chance to go and verify the lines yet before they could turn the power back on but going keep our fingers crossed that happens pretty quick. The north bay continues to be the problem and a headache for a lot of folks that are without power and in some cases out of their homes right now depending on the evacuation status of their community. You can see all around santa rosa, basically every community up and down one o one and throughout the wine country both for napa and sonoma counties and now leading into portions of lake county as well, although the power has a bit turn off their just yet but heres we zoom in closer see large sections the areas still dotted with intentional power shut off. The hope is now that the winds are calming down a bit that maybe pg can get out there and start turning the lights back on want to get crews out there to inspect the lines keep it to kron 4 will keep you updated on that front a course download the kron on app thats going to best way to let you know the minute we do know what the situation is with genie and its free thats the great news for you weve got weve removed the pay wall so you can have free access to that 24 7 new streaming service. Go to app store today and download that now and well get your squared the minute we know new information from pga names. John. Well james what were seeing this morning is a big improvement as far as air quality goes we can actually think some of those. A light winds and the shift in direction for just that we are seeing a light winds across the core of the bay not so much for the north bay obviously where winds are still of concern, but it did help to clear some of the haze that we had at the Golden Gate Bridge and all across the bay yesterday, some of our breezier spots to remain around the kincade fire such as in calistoga in sonoma, although petaluma and santa rosa have come down very nicely were just going to continue to come down for the remainder of the day ahead of us with calming winds the rest of the morning and by the afternoon. A nice calm afternoon. This is great news for the kincade fire right now whitman healdsburg on the commerce id already asked the in cloverdale looking close up on this when map still showing some breezy conditions in the vicinity as for the east bay, you did not lose power last night it was initially a something that was of concern but with winds not really kicking into gear as much as initially forecasted yeah, youre still have power this morning and winds are nice and light right now red flag warnings do still remain in effect because it is still breezy in a few spots in fact are mountaintops like mount diablo mount saint helene a have been clocking wind gusts as high as 40 Miles Per Hour. We do still have some low humidity so still be wary of high fire danger even though conditions are improving north bay youre going to see less yellow and orange indicating less and risk of extreme fire danger into the afternoon ahead of us 40s and 50s for your current temperatures at least for most of the bay, you head up into the north bay were so many of us with a are without power and were looking at temperatures right around freezing in Santa Rosa Petaluma and nevado see are waking up to a chilly house, especially if you dont have power by the afternoon ahead temperatures will be nice and comfortable a lot like yesterday you add in good air quality on top of this and id say a big improvement for a lot of the bay today. Robin. All right, thank you john, lets head over to a hot spot on the peninsula northbound one oh one after the woodside road exit this is as you work your way through redwood city. If you look over to the left you can see some activity an emergency crews still lingering theyre dealing with an injury accident involving an overturned vehicle now things are Getting Better at one point it was just a mess we have 4 lanes closed traffic squeezing by and one lane only now theyve managed to move all of this activity over to the right lane. So the right lane is the only lane thats blocked. But theres a singular place and it still stacking up traffic as you work your way out of menlo park into redwood city so something to be on the lookout for here it is on traffic tracker you see on nasty. That little backup is so take to 80 instead of northbound one on one north to 80 looks great continuing on up to San Francisco, heres a quick peek at the bay bridge traffic 80 west its already backed up through the bottom of the maze for very quiet on the upper deck and smooth for downtown San Francisco area. Thanks a 13 and still ahead well have the update on the king cake fire and take you out to see whats birth. And what is still threatened this morning as we are able to get into those evacuation zones that you can. Want to see what kind of damage has been done. Also. Wasnt damaged pg e shut your lights out were going to tell you who theyre going to repay. 6. 16 right now and as we continue to mount. Under the weather on the fire front glad that the winds didnt whip up quite as severely as they saw last night yeah thats the good news and were. Reaping the benefits of that this morning both on the firefighting front and also on the pga power shut off front as well. Lets a chat with on the phone right now meteorologist spencer 10 jun a with the National Weather service to help us understand more about the wind event that happened last night if theres anything else on the horizon. Mr. Tatchell thanks for joining us. A good morning. What was the biggest gust you got last night. So we did see a not 60 Miles Per Hour in some of the north hills. I got hear right the york isis. Healdsburg i got a gust up to 60 Miles Per Hour. Some of the valleys gust up about 25. I think its part of 30 miles hour not a top 20 last night. Happening yeah like it they were less powerful and there was a shorter duration that originally thought. I think that um we did expect the event to be not nearly as strong as the one over the weekend. So in terms of that that that can now. I think about as we expected. And when everybody expects plans. By evening and early overnight, and we are starting to the winds are decreasing thats pretty much what we expected. Good and thats all good news for the firefighters is there anything on the horizon are they working against the clock before another wind event or or do we look like were going to be on on stable ground at least come comes when it comes to the winds. Uh yes of this does look like the last when the vet after the near future. You know stuffy he wins and a the typical locations but nothing the magnitude that lately past couple offshore wind event. So that thats very good news for firefighters so. Nothing like the next 7 days. We dont in a major offshore wind event. So its only good news for in the firefighters and the kincade fire, but its good news for people who are nowhere near there who have found themselves plunged into darkness just because its windy. So what about. Level of winds too just areas around the bay, the east bay, the north and south they just areas that have seen their power. The winds were going to get really strong. Re still pretty much around the area that were not expecting strong wind. You know anywhere. Around the bay or for the next 7 days. So he also people world be able to get power back in you know he need a big loss for one events for from the next week. And im just curious with your interpretation can you see any farther out than we can as are any rain on the horizon for extended models are we looking dry for the foreseeable future. Surely you know next that made it 10 unfortunately, were not really chance of rain a self lee after the had off will start to turn this and said different weather patterns. But at least for the next 7 to days that is im looking very giant unfortunately no rain in the forecast. Okay, thanks so much. Spencer changin with the National Weather service. Well james he can see as far as it can be kerosene and no rain yet bank time now 6. 19 and and lets take a look this is were talking about the Power Outages and that there shouldnt be any more according to you you really look at the weather here. The people that are impacted. Purple but that looks a lot bigger than when you zoom in there right when you zoom in for example to the north bay, you can see that its much closer into where the fires burning then away from the fire was before was just wide on way down now you can see those areas impact are closer to the fire and it really is the north bay thats still seeing the brunt of these intentional power shut ypg. As we slide the map to reveal more the south you actually see look portions of Marion County in the green yeah, rate is only a few pockets now there are a little farther out towards the cozy valley towards the coast. And thats good news, yeah, and the east bay in the south bay of course in the peninsula seeing a lot more green as well this few holdouts. Those up small sections of purple whether pg lineman just havent had a chance to out there inspect those lines or theyre making some repairs that still have to see some work done before they can reenergize those lines. So thats the situation with the genie. The picture is Getting Better i guess maybe thats the headline you can take away from that graphic and then the headline. And this morning, the money. Show me money for some you not me tell the g 8 because the october 9th, wind event in the power shut up which was the first one they tried to do on a mass scale went so poorly. Governor gavin newsom is convinced pg need to actually offer you a little bit of a reimbursement in your bill. Utility companies and tories lee refused to reimburse customers for outages but now they say that each customer will get a 100 credit these are residential customers if your business get 200 and 50. Utilities in the past never credit. Customers for these disruptions we call for rebates. And abc e o jus
