Good morning. This could potentially be the first hurricane or Tropical Storm to hit the state of california since the 1930. Normally the storm significantly weaken or fall apart altogether before reaching california. So people are doing what they can to make sure they are ready. Now, as of this morning, hurricane hillary has been upgraded to a category four, but as rosemarie will likely tell you, in just a bit, it will weaken before hitting california. So officials are not boarding up windows like you often see for hurricane preps in states like florida. Instead, though, some cities are getting prepared by building sand berms in low lying areas. City leaders in coastal cities say beaches and piers may even be shut down if needed. The city is currently mitigating and monitoring the strategies for the impacts that could potentially come with this hurricane hillary. Theres predictions up to 1 to 2in of rain possible in the coastal communities, heavy winds and then also surf surf that will impact us. Itll be all hands on deck. Lifeguards are calling in. Everyone to work as we are expecting a swell. That would mean large waves for south facing beaches. Theres the possibility of lightning even. And the Us National Hurricane center said hillarys maximum sustained winds has risen to 120mph. So anyone in the storms path is being asked to tie down or bring in anything that may blow away.

Wagner and former antioch officer Daniel Harris, also accused of conspiring to distribute anabolic steroids. And antioch k9 officer Morteza Amiri is charged with sharing photos of dog bite victims and tallying up those cases as trophies. Collectively, these four indictments describe a group of officers who acted as though they were above the law. Six officers are charged with paying someone to take Online College courses on their behalf , and they hope that would boost their pay. The defendants could face decades in federal prison if convicted. We heard from civil rights Attorney John Burris, who is suing Antioch Police on behalf of the alleged victims. He says these indictments are just the first step. The next portion of it is how do we clean up the department . How do we get rid of the officers who, in fact, engaged in illegal, unconstitutional conduct . Antioch mayor lamar thorpe released a statement yesterday saying in part to those that have accused me and others of being antipolice for seeking to reform the Antioch Police department.

He said he had feared people would try to evacuate uphill toward the flames. 111 people are confirmed dead with hundreds still unaccounted for. And there is a massive effort to provide shelter to the many People Living on the island who lost their homes. 700 dod personnel active reserve guard and civilians and 140 coast guardsmen are actively engaged in the coordinated response. President biden is cutting his weekend trip to lake tahoe so he can meet with wildfire victims in maui on monday. Our time is 716.

So workers can do their work on the road. Now, the other direction, westbound interstate 80 will be closed for all of the labor day weekend. And the next time you drive to lake tahoe, expect the road to get there to be a little bit more confusing. Both directions of highway 50 through central sacramento now have been split by caltrans because of the continuing roadwork out there. That means your drivers, you have to commit to one side of a divided traffic pattern, and that could cause delays, the experts say, for people who are driving through sacramento to get to south lake tahoe, the best way to go is just stay in the left lane since they you wont need to get to any local exits. Lets look at the rest of the bay area commute this morning. Another roadways like the escher freeway.
