Thank you john lets check in on the bridges were taking a peek at one oh one across the golden gate, this is one of your good commute. So far this morning, nice and smooth traffic here heading into San Francisco. Thats or southbound drive and so far its at the limit so well put it at 20 minutes rolling south nevado to San Francisco here at the Richmond Sandra fell bridge or delay is gone not too long ago we had some heavy traffic leading up to the toll so it has thinned out early and nicely and they checking in on oakland, shot is from yulee a 7th i took this screen shot. She was on scene of this downed tree in oakland in the last hour 5 in west after high street crews are still there still cleaning up as you can see they have the right lane blocked the traffic is getting by but a little slow on 5. 80 west approaching high so just reduce your speed there is those crews are dealing with that tree thats down and blocking the freeway as weve seen in several spots throughout the morning now on the nimitz freeway at high street in accident still blocking your left lane is going to be extra heavy all the way back out of downtown oakland heading south up to the scene in the northbound traffic, the opposite side stacking up a little bit too so heavy in both directions leading up to the crash. I have one more 5. 80 along the dublin great ill get to that coming up in just a bit back to you, thanks a lot rob, a nato for and lets get back to the big story which is the wildfire danger with the high winds out there. Yeah, this is just an example of what the winds did. Fanning flames here as a fire broke out overnight in the u haul business in concord luckily, though they were able to keep it contained. Yeah, this nearby buildings were at risk on monument boulevard, but they did put it out. But its an example of just you know when youve got high winds. Flames they spread fast, yeah and that is what pg e cut power to communities in the east bay, one of them orinda thats where kron fours will tran is standing by this morning with a closer look at conditions there well. The conditions are calm. They were not common the overnight hours it was gusty at times now i dont feel too much when the sun is up and thats good news because at least you can hopefully open up the curtains and get some light in your house because you dont have the power to turn on your light bulbs in your lands because the power was wiped out because of pg and e let me step out of the way and show you whats going on you can see this pharmacy, no lights there thats quite rare. I dont really see pharmacies without power unless some disaster takes place but in this particular case that was planned pge took away the hour. And then look at that with the light up the sunrise they can do some construction work on the roadway at least but thats about it because businesses here are shut down theres no electricity for them to do anything let me show you some video of the overnight hours pga need you guys talked about this and weve talked about this for a long time. The goal for pg any is not to start a wildfire in the neighborhood fire for that matter. And the winds are Strong Enough way pushed down this tree took down some power lines with it. Fortunately that house appears to only suffer a little bit of damage not too bad, but the winds are always constant in conquering the flags were whipping around at car nothing says windy like hair, blowing all over the place or the flags just whipping around so in that particular case thats what concrete saw from concord to san leandro same deal as the trees came down in that particular area as well were not hearing of any major damage or injuries to anybody and more importantly james were not hearing of any wildfires, so you cant really argue with the results even though its a big inconvenience. The map want to show it to you again in our in death. You are waking up with no power for your coffee maker but youre not alone. All the other bay area counties same deal altogether. 36 counties about 200 and 20. A 1000 people without power and james darya when i heard that another 120,000 possibly could also in the way of getting no power and it came to my neighborhood then it got very personal. So ive had go out there get some flashlights and some power as well. Thats just the way it is right, i mean look at that i put this shot just to show you when a pharmacy when you need medication. When their lights are turned off. Thats just the way it is these days i guess back to you all right, thanks a lot. Thats why we got to listen to those warnings and prepare shocking the forehead. Thank you well. Well lets continue our Team Coverage of the high fire danger with thousands of customers in all 4 counties in the north bay also. Without power this morning because of the strong wind and thats where kron 4 Sarah Stinson is she is live in san anselmo right now with the latest sarah. Love actually mill valley and moved to earlier and below mountain you can see in the distance not tim has seen some of the biggest wind gusts of all ranging from 30 to 70 Miles Per Hour has been quite intense and this win has been cold and a very intense all morning all the way across marin county and then up to sonoma and napa counties as well take a look at this video its a very intense wind that just flew over some outdoor furniture. He up in santa rosa, the Fire Department sent us this and you can see and hear it. Its very intense has been like this all morning and were still seeing some of those wind gusts up here in marine county very very and theres a red flag warning in effect until 11 so the that is the main reason why pg has shut off the power to thousands and thousands of people you can see our cameras are also up there in Solano County where the wind was also. A how4ing howling all night in that is the concern is that if a wild fire were to spark it could just spread so rapidly. There has been little spot fires that have occurred all across the ive seen them on the chp website, but fortunately seems like all of those have been under control. Theyve had fire crews standing by and that way they can put the fires out immediately in the meantime though people are still without power take a look at this map you can see just how many all of the areas in purple on your screen are without power or could be without power p genie has been of course monitoring the situation as well but doesnt seem like the winds really letting up any time im still feeling it of here again near mount him in mill valley and ill be a son back some video soon for my next a live report where you can see some of the debris in the road. The with the trees are swing and theres some downed branches the area you can see my hair is blowing in the wind its been quite intense, well continue to provide you updates live here. Coming up for now live in marin county ill send it back to you all right, thank you very much sara. Time now is 8 09 and theres also strong wind in the east bay and emergency power outage just went into effect in alameda crews are doing some tree trimming and crabbers yulia 7 is live with a look at whats going on kelly. The only we cant hear you, but we can see a shot of just going to give it a minute. Looks like caught them doing some work here. But theres also. Power outages and all pointed re now. Yeah, mean app that yeah we do you really the point of trimming there we go to prepare her for Power Outages and high winds. Right exactly you want to prevent some of those limbs falling off and knocking down wires and then it knocks out the powers so. Right now you can see some of the city workers here just on standby there waiting to hear from pga need that the lines or cut off so that they can start trimming trees and this is what were talking about daria. These were not talking about these trees here on the side, but its up actually these you can see that there are some major power lines going through and its going through some of these bigger trees over here and thats what theyre going to be working on is trying to cut through some of those branches and make sure that when the heavy winds come that they could just basically go through without interrupting or having any of those branches fall on any of the what why years because as we know it not only can it. Cut off. Electricity into a neighborhood but it can also cause a fire you can see also here on the other side. Theres basically big major trees along this power lines and this is the for inside district in alameda island. So if youre in this area for the next 2 hours. Your electricity will be cut off, but its only to do preventive work its not because there was some kind of problem that necessarily happen its kind of like an immediate preventive kind of work that is being done here in the neighborhood so they said its going to be somewhere between 8 10 oclock when the power will be down so they can kind of work on some of the trees here in the foreign site area districts back to you guys. All right, thanks ally only. Time now 8. 11 still ahead on the kron 4 morning news, Vice President mike pence continuing to exposed to the coronavirus plus the u. S. Senate set to vote tonight on president obama or president Trumps Supreme Court nominee and then nancy pelosi also saying that shes waiting for a final yes from the white house. On a new stimulus deal will update you on all these stories and more coming up. And it certainly has been a windy morning. The good news in our forecast ahead of us though is that conditions do get a little less windy come the afternoon. With daytime highs in the 60s and 70s not all that bad. Your forecast is to come. Im tracking your morning drive around the bay area this time were taking a live look at 6. 80 this is the commute into and out of want to create this is 6. 80 near the 24 split but youre at 15 minutes from highway 4. 31 a creek and now 2 danville will check more drive times coming up stay with us. 15 i now want to take a peek at the weather thats the big thing you need to know about before you head out the door pretty windy out there. John yeah, definitely a windy start guys we saw some very substantial wind gust during our overnight hours and that will continue during the day today, so we are going to be seeing another day that brings heightened fire danger along with these dry yet cool winds across the region hey at least it is a pretty start to the morning look our camera looking across the bay of financial district, everything lit up in some nice colors as we are looking at clear skies due to these offshore winds that are pushing any fog a marine layer way out of the region. Why are we are dry and why we are windy and why fire danger does remain a threat now last night obviously a windy one a lot of us you probably heard it during overnight hours. I know i did as i was trying to go to sleep last night, 3040 mile per hour wind gusts, nothing uncommon across the bay hayward at 40 Miles Per Hour right now danville 34 Vacaville Fairfield atlas peak calistoga sonoma. All these areas clocking in some impressive wind gusts right now as we make our way towards one 45 pm still very breezy, but look at how winds do come down towards the evening tonight past sunset tonight going to be a lot calmer as youre heading to sleep and then tomorrow still breezy at times but nothing like the winds that we have been in the midst of overnight last night on into the early morning. Now as far as red flag warnings go those actually do remain even as winds calm down into the overnight hours tonight. In effect till 05 00pm this evening. This is because we remain dry and we remain breezy enough that there is a spark you can see a fast growing fire because theres plenty of dry grass is dry brush and the low humidity along with that as far as wind advisories go those will expire at 11 00am today as wind speeds generally just begin to trend downward after that point now as we make our way over the course of the forecast this afternoon, youll notice that despite the dry winds theyre not dry hot winds but on the cooler side of things thats going to keep temperatures, nice and mild across the region, definitely still feeling that fall feel that we enjoy this weekend as you step outside this afternoon 70s for most of our peninsula areas 70s in the south bay to low 70s in cupertino and san jose each at 72 today while the east bay daytime highs range from the 60s in union city to the 70s elsewhere in the east bay temperatures in Berkeley Oakland and richmond in the mid to low 70s today while conquered in walnut creek each at 76 also at 76 in sonoma the benicia on over to fairfield out towards the coast. Some 60s while 70s from santa rosa down through mill valley today looking ahead at your next 7 days daytime highs dont change much inland as we work our way through this forecast really not a whole lot of changes alongside the bay either highs only in the mid 70s just a few degrees cooler than our inland spots and coastal spots in the 60s to 70s so this forecast definitely has a fall feel to it and no 80s no 90s certainly no triple digits in sight so we will take that and run with that robin. Thank goodness we dont like triple digits. John lets check in on 92 your morning commute is winding down no major accidents working right now so we are hot spot free. But we do have some areas that are a little busy like 92 your trip across the 70 oh bridge still crowded out of hayward west of the toll plaza business final take it 14 minutes off to the peninsula here the bay bridge a little bit of a line still lingering at the toll plaza and some of those carpool lanes its been off and on the we still consider this a great trip into San Francisco, so 11 minutes is a really good drive off to fremont street. Heres a problem thats wrapping up expect slow traffic on 5. 80 west leaving dublin approaching the doubling great we had a crash at eating can and that activity is moving off to the side we see that back up that still lingering there and then another Little Pocket on 5. 80 west as you come off the great into Castro Valley approaching that to 38 split so to stretches of heavy traffic for you but still nothing major heads up for slowing on the nimitz 80 south at high street in oakland crash clearing from the left lane still under the limit leaving downtown oakland, so 80 south flows 9. 80. All the way out to high street the northbound side looks much better. But if you want to avoid it altogether stick with 5. 80 instead of the nimitz freeway well check some more slowdowns coming up back to you. A buzz a tale of 2 patriots post divorce and tom brady sand. Miss me yet belichick got his kicked by the other guy that he kicked to the curb Jimmy Garoppolo go robin the fortyniners pounded the patriots. 33 to 6 while tommy and tampa bay routed the raiders 45 to 20 were going to start with jimmy g singing how sweet it to be loved. A lot of motions lot memories, especially coming back here seeing the same stadium i hear the same songs based players. Members came back you know a lot emotions out there, but as a fun those guys play sir last play every down. When you can do that for an entire game and you play smart and dont turn it over. Usually good things happen. It wasnt just moving the ball, it was the running game. Jeff wilson rushed for a 112 yards and scored 3 tds before he hurt his ankle that was in the 3rd quarter and just like a plane crash though you know any time you can walk away. Thats a good thing then he was carted off and tommy had a love scene in San Francisco torch is old team while he and his bike walk or taking it to the house in Las Vegas Brady threw 4 touchdowns to 4 different receivers and that he ran one in himself. At least the beating was in prime time because of you know covid concerns. Derek carr was sacked 3 times but he does blame the oline is just happy they made it to the game. The job that we were able to do against the number one defense in the nfl. Everyone missing practice until today, you know they get to play the game. The awesome very impressed. Again thats thats me just being r
