Water sloshing back and forth, homes were damaged, several strong aftershocks too followed that initial quake. Still too early to assess the impact of the quake.

Kpix 5 reporter ryan takeo tells us thats how long it will take to implode an east bay landmark. Every time i wake up in the morning i look out there and i can see that building. But its not going to be there anymore. Reporter a view like this makes cal state east bays warren hall seem small. People have described it as an icon for the city of hayward. Reporter lee baker lives three miles from campus. And i want to find out as much as i can about earthquakes. About this far. Reporter the experts want to learn, too. Thats why theyre planning about 600 sensors near campus including a few at bakers house. Ill have a front row seat as far as information thats gathered. Reporter the 13story building is now a shell of what it was. The landmark overlooking the east bay was the worst earthquake hazard in the cal state system. So School Officials closed it because its so close to the fault. The hayward fault is about 1,000 yards that direction and literally 10 to 12 seconds, that building will be a pile of rubble. Reporter implosions look like this one. The Company Behind this skyscraper destruction a few years back is the same one pushing the switch saturday. The company says the impact will be minimal. If it lands on this pile of concrete over here, i have more than done my job. For the average person, you will not feel the vibration. The monitors and the sensors that usgs are putting out, very, very civiliansive. They pick up the slightest vibrations, they are very, very sensitive. Reporter researchers want to learn as much as they can quick before the next big one. Anytime we can expect a fairly large magnitude earthquake on the hayward fault. Reporter its no wonder neighbors are watching closely. Im not worried about it. Im interested in it. Maybe i should be more worried about it and ill find that out. Reporter the demolition will cost 12 million. School officials maintain its going to be cheaper to demolish and repair than to rebuild warren hall. In hayward, ryan takeo, kpix 5. Demolition crews say watching implosions is not a spectator sport. They are keeping everyone back some 1300 feet from the building. But i will guarantee you, well have cameras there and everyone will be watching this weekend. A lot of people do like watching in a. I was hoping they were going to blow up the old bay bridge. But theyre not going to do it. Give it a couple of weeks. Im not saying anything. [ laughter ] that would have been a great sight [ laughter ] around the bay area, we have patchy fog thats moved onshore. A little thick at the coastline. A little drizzle at the beaches. But yeah, the temperatures are very mild and its muggy out there again this morning. 60s outside. This afternoon well still see 80s and low 90s inland. Suburbs inside the bay. 70s and a few 80s. 60s with patchy fog at the coast. Only minor changes for today. We are seeing a little southern component in the winds bringing with it humidity. But it looks like that ridge of High Pressure starting to back off a little bit through the first part of the weekend as these lows begin to approach the coastline so slightly cooler on saturday. But then that low sags further to the south. Winds switch directions and we may warm things back up again as we head in toward sunday. Now, around the state today, you will find about 100 degrees and hot in fresno. 95 degrees in sacramento. About 81 in lake tahoe. I think as we head around the bay today well enjoy some sunshine and some muggy weather about 82 in san jose, 90 in morgan hill and about 63 degrees in pacifica. East bay temperatures up in the 80s and some low 90s. Then as we head toward the coast it looks like those temperatures going to be fairly mild. 62 degrees in daly city. 68 in San Francisco. And 74 in oakland. Next couple of days, the weekend included well cool down slightly on saturday, warming back up on sunday. Then well cool back down toward the middle of the week.

The bay bridge is scheduled to be shut down next weekend for the Labor Day Holiday to prepare the span which is scheduled tuesday september 3. The closure begins wednesday august 28 at 8 p. M. This is leading up to Labor Day Holiday. It will be shut down the entire wednesday, thursday, friday all weekend long and scheduled to reopen to traffic on tuesday in time for the morning commute. Plan on alternates. The golden gate bridge, expect fog this morning. No traffic delays for 101 in both directions between the city and marin county. And if you are heading for the south bay anytime tonight, watch out for cyclists which will be out in force all night long. There is a san jose bike ride scheduled kind of similar to Critical Mass in San Francisco, there will be hundreds of cyclists dressed up in costumes leaving the Mountain View area heading through sunnyvale towards Stanford University in palo alto. They will be in costumes. It will be a lot of fun for them but it may cause traffic delays as some streets are expected to be shut down in those cities. Again, thats tonight san jose bike ride at 8 00 this evening. Thats a look at the commute. Now to michelle. A member of the bush family has some good things to say about a potential democratic president ial nominee. George w.

Investors hope the stock market will end the week on an up note after yesterdays monster drop. The slide came after disappointing reports from retail giant walmart and san josebased cisco systems. The dow and nasdaq had their biggest oneday drop since june.

The movie spans nearly the entire scope of jobs career from a College Dropout to a garage startup to the successes that changed the way the world works. You might think twice before reaching for that extra cup of coffee. I guess. The mayo clinic Study Suggests drinking four cups a day linked to higher death rates. Researchers say men under 55 who drank that much a day are 56 more likely to die from any cause than their noncoffee drinking counterparts. And women in that age group had a twofold greater risk of dying. The coffee drinkers in the study were more likely to smoke and less likely to exercise. And researchers say the more soda a child drinks the more likely he is to become violent. The columbia study found 5year olds who drank four or more sodas a day were twice as likely to get into fights and attack other people. Soda may also increase attention problems. Time now is 4 50.

There is a big battle over soccer fields in San Francisco<\/a>. Kpix 5s Mike Sugerman<\/a> explains the turf war thats moved from the soccer field to the courtroom. Reporter 7nil in soccer . Thats a slaughter. The same might be said of San Francisco<\/a> politics on the state and local level. You win seven times . Unheard of. But after seven votes in favor the soccer fields at Golden Gate Park<\/a>s beach chalet still face a turf war. The Audubon Society<\/a> has said that its the equivalent of paving the area with 7 acres of asphalt. Reporter that doesnt very San Francisco<\/a>. But city hall has been kicking around the idea of putting artificial turf in Golden Gate Park<\/a> for 7 years now. In a city thats lost 5,000 families over the last 10 years, we really need to make sure we are providing safe available facilities for all of our san franciscans including kids. Reporter no one thinks the current state of the field is any good. Its a horrible field to play on. Its a sponge field full of pockmarks. I have personally seen a girl that im coaching run across the field because she was late and break her ankle in a gopher hole. Reporter so the move is on to put artificial turf and lights out here. Its been on since 2006. Soccer fans say theres no place in california maybe the country with so many soccer players and so few fields in San Francisco<\/a>.

First doctors thought it was a staph infection. Paul is fine and apparently so is the snail. They got it out. Paul talked his mom into letting him keep it as a pet and named it turbo. He could have had named it knee. Knee. Right . Turbo. New movie out right . Coming up, a big blow to a San Francisco<\/a> icon. Why the new exploratorium is cutting staff.
