Nothing new. But that crash in San Francisco earlier thats been gone for about an hour has something to do with it. Its backed up for a 20, 30 minute delay. Were seeing a little improvement. There are no major problems as you drive on the bridge. Its still crowded from earlier problems in the city. If you want to think about an alternate, the san mateo bridge is decent. Westbound 92, a little bit slow as you can see on the actual span. I want to mention some drive times. Pleasant hill road on 24 to the caldecott tunnel Holding Steady at 10 interms, 45 miles an hour average speed. 880 from 238 san san lorenzo to thornton and fremont, 17 miles an hour.

But theres some kins that the offshore breeze will continue and build right into the weekend which means well go now from cold, cold to cool to cold to maybe not that bad. Were also starting to see that easterly breeze coming off the hills. That means a warmer pattern certainly starting a little bit and a lot as we head into the weekend. Cold mornings. Not as cold. Sunny, a little warmer. Breezy, bayside and also near the coast. Saw 25 miles an hour near the golden gate and also up in the Oakland Hills. 50s for some. Upper 50s for others. But possibility near 70 degrees for some by monday. Maybe sunday. A little cooler.

Six homes were evacuated near golf links road and fontaine street. At first pg e blamed it on a rupture in a fourinch steel line about 6 feet down. But investigators have not ruled out the possibility of a problem with two connecting lines. Its too early to speculate what caused this incident in oakland. But overall, pg e is taking a closer look at pipelines throughout our service area. Gas and water were shut off to 20 homes. The pg e lines were all inspected in april of last year. The San Bruno City Council was expected to take the next big step in redeveloping the neighborhood that was devastated by that 2010 pg e pipeline disaster. The council was likely to approve plans to rebuild ten more times destroyed in that fire when they meet at a meeting last night.

Weve been on this story this morning. A huge warehouse fire started early this morning. Theyve had some problems out here dealing with this. But the smoke is lighter now than it was just an hour ago. Its been burning since 12 45 well talk about why its been so hard getting this really under control. Well have a live report in a few moments. Welcome back. Wednesday, december 11th. Im dave clark. Good morning. Im tori campbell. A quick look at weather and traffic. Is this the last really cold morning. Probably, yes, i would say so. It will still be cold. Temperatures have been coming up. Were get morgue upper 50s more upper 50s. Theres plenty of sunshine to go around. Still a lot of 20s showing up. Temperatures for inland areas will stay cold for a little bit. But coast and bay are in the 30s and 40s. Concord, 24. Novato, 28. Oakley and brentwood, 28. San bruno at 32. Its still cold for some. 20s, 30s around the area. A little hint of a breeze. Theres definitely an offshore breeze. Parts of oakland, San Francisco and over to Half Moon Bay. Freeze warnings continue for some. Frost advisory until 9 00. It might be marginal for some especially in the frost advisory area. The direction is offshore. Thats going to benefit some coast and bay. Cold mornings, not as cold. 50s, low to mid to a few upper. Heres sal. Good morning. Were looking at still some slow traffic around the bay area and just a lot of slow traffic especially in the main koeferry ders main corridors. The drive time by the way between the walnut creek interchange and the tunnel is about 12 minutes, 10 to 12 minutes. No major problems. But its steady and slow. If you are moving along to the bay bridge toll plaza, you will see that this drive time, its a little bit lower. Its about 15, 20 minutes. Earlier it had been more. Were talking about highway 24. Lets talk about the drive between Pleasant Hill road and the caldecott tunnel. Speeds at about 45. But 880 continues to be a bad commute. 238 from 238 san lorenzo. 18 miles an hour. 38 minutes. Lets go back to the desk. We have developing news from concord. Theres still a lot of heavy smoke coming from a big Early Morning warehouse fire in concord. This one started just before 1 00 a. M. And when the fire crews thought they had it under control, the flames flared up again. Ktvus Tara Moriarty has been out there in concord since 4 30 this morning. Tara, you think they may have tracked what caused this fire. Reporter Bank Officials are out here. And thats important because this property is a foreclosure. So now all of that will be part of the investigation as to how it this fire started. You take a look behind me, you can see the smoke is actually really bad right now. Its very difficult to breathe. Its very toxic smoke. We know that an alarm triggered before the fire broke out, the owner told police not to come because he had so many false alarms in the past. This is gonna be something thats part of the investigation. These firefighters have been dousing this fire for seven hours now. They have actually run out of fuel a few times. They couldnt pump water. The battalion chief asked them to turn on additional pumps to raise the pressure. That wasnt enough. Then then te asked for then they asked for more pressure and they said were maxed out. Were talking about 5,000 gallons of water a minute. The flames broke out at quarter to 1 00 in the large teledmuncations Telecommunications Office off stanwell avenue. Some of the burning that you see is intentional because we cant go into the building with our hose lines like we normally would. We have to fight the air from the aerial tracks. Grooves present a problem there. So what were trying to do is let the roof burn away so we can get water in but not let it burn so hot that it destroys the structure that are holding the walls up. No one was han no one has been hurt. This is mainly an Industrial Area located next to buchanan. The smoke, it looks like its beginning to dissipate, the smell of it and the taste of it are its very rancid. We understand we got a tweet actually from kevin bee this morning saying he could smell the burning plastic in san lorenzo. A lot of smoke particles in the air. Atf will be assisting in the investigation given the size of this fire. But crews will be on the scene here for several more hours. Live from concord, im Tara Moriarty, ktvu channel 2 news. Thank you. 8 04. Happening right now, the rescheduled ntsb hearing in washington, d. C. Into the deadly Asiana Airlines crash in San Francisco, three people were killed and 180 others were hurt in that july crash at sfo. You are looking at some home video of that crash. The ntsb want tsds to know wants to know what caused the plane to crash into a sea wall while it was trying to planned. Kyla campbell joins us live where one factor is looking at the impact of cultural differences. Kyla . Reporter the ntsb did ask boeing about cultural differences and heres why the ntsb released information as the hearing began saying that a student pilot on that plane told investigators he had considered aborting the landing but it was a difficult decision because it goes against korean culture to give orders to a superior. Boeing officials said they do try to consider other cultures when creating standards and designs. But they said there is a big difference between design and execution. Then the hearing switched over to those automatic alerts and warnings on the boeing triple 7 aircraft. There was a stick shaker warning several seconds warning the pilots that it would probably stall. The ntsb says the pilots believe that the auto thrust was on so they probably waited for it to kick in. However, it was not engaged. This hearing is going on for another nine hours. At some point we expect to hear the officials from the city and county of San Francisco speak up at some point. Ken wayne just told me a few moments ago that debbie hersman, the ntsb chairman, she will be giving a News Conference at 1 30 pacific. Thats 4 30 eastern. Right before the dinner break. So we will hear from her about how this hearing is going before it does wrap up. Later tonight. Kyla campbell, ktvu channel 2 news. Another issue set to be addressed during a hearing today is the response by local firefighters. The authorities had said that a 16yearold passenger died when a responding fire truck ran over her on the runway but how she got out of the plane and onto the runway is still not clear. The safety board has been studying video from cameras on the fire trucks to try to get some answers. As kyla mentioned, ken wain is in washington, d. C. , hes sitting in and listening to the hearings right now. Well have live reports throughout the day. This was supposed to be a two day hearing. Yesterdays was canceled because of the weather.

A hostile crowd had Vallejo Police calling in extra help and still no arrest in the case. Vallejo police say the homicide cases are a top priority. But there are five detectives in charge of all of these cases and they admit they are spread thin. It goes without saying that most communities are gonna be stretched thin in resources. But were never gonna use that as an excuse not to conduct a thorough, complete investigation. I think its safe to say with 24 homicides and the number of deathtives we have, they are working quite a few hours. Reporter how many detectives do you have . Currently five and one sergeant thats in charge of the investigations unit. Reporter as for what is behind this recent wave of violence, thats still unclear.

Live from concord, im Tara Moriarty, ktvu channel 2 news. Its the ongoing controversy over pot. San jose has new restrictions on marijuana dispensaries. Ktvus pam cook is in our newsroom to tell us about the City Council Vote. Good morning, pam. Good morning. In the latenight meeting, last night the San Jose City council did discuss regulating the medical marijuana industry. The council did not vote on an allout ban of pot clubs but they did vote on stricter guidelines. Dispensary owners say the new restrictions are basically a ban because it really only allows them to operate in 1 of the city. It prevents medical marijuana dispensaries from operating within 1,000 feet of a school or library. They also need to be at least 500 feet from any drug Rehab Facility and 150 feet from a home. I think we all recognize that a medical cannabis collective next to a house is probably the wrong place. I think this is really an issue that belongs to the federal government and this is too much for the city to take on. Now, the council is hoping that eventually the state of california will step in to regulate the industry similar to the guidelines for liquor stores. Medical marijuana supporters some of the dispensary owners not happy with these regulations. They plan to start collecting signatures to put the issue on a ballot.
