On the second day of April, the skies were clear and the view from atop Mount Umunhum in the South Bay spread across a sea of green shrubs and trees carpeting the Santa Cruz Mountains.
It was a beautiful sight, but a team of researchers from San Jose State University's Wildfire Interdisciplinary Research Center — the only wildfire research center in California — noticed something wasn't quite right.

In a modern reimagining of Ed Spielman’s hit series that starred David Carradine, “Kung Fu” is returning to network television with two unprecedented changes: The lead is a Chinese American woman and the cast is predominantly Asian American, a rarity in the landscape of network television dramas.
The gender-flipped reboot chronicles the journey of Nicky Shen (Olivia Liang), a young woman who, after going through a quarter-life crisis, decides to drop out of university and take a life-altering journey to a remote Chinese monastery. When Nicky returns to San Francisco three years later, she discovers that her hometown has been overrun with crime and corruption and that the local Chinatown, where her parents Jin (Tzi Ma) and Mei-Li (Kheng Hua Tan) own a family restaurant, has been at the mercy of a powerful triad. She’s forced to use her martial arts skills to protect her community, while searching for the assassin who killed her Shaolin mentor.

Three earthquakes woke many across the Los Angeles area before sunrise Monday.
The first, a magnitude 3.3 quake, struck at 4:15 a.m. near Inglewood, a city in southwest Los Angeles County, according to the United States Geological Survey. This was quickly followed by a very small magnitude 2.5 aftershock near to where the initial quake struck. A larger magnitude 4.0 temblor hit at 4:44 a.m. in the same area.
The epicenters were about nine miles south of Los Angeles.
While there were no reports of any damage, the quakes were widely felt and nearly 5,000 people reported feeling the magnitude 4.0 shaker to the USGS.

LATEST April 6, 10:15 a.m. The alleged attacker in an incident of anti-Asian racism that reportedly took place at a North Beach sports bar has been identified by the victim's mother as retired pro boxer Pat Lawlor.
Gino and Carlo owner Frank Rossi told SFGATE on Monday that Lawlor was a regular at the bar, but was otherwise unaffiliated with it. A report from the San Francisco Chronicle also confirmed Lawlor's identity. (SFGATE and the Chronicle are both owned by Hearst, but operate independently of one another.)

A man wielding a machete broke up the robbery of his elderly Asian parents in Oakland on Monday afternoon.
Video of the incident was first tweeted by KGO's Dion Lim. One clip shows four individuals surrounding the couple on their front porch, riffling through their pockets, until the couple's adult son runs out of the house with a machete. In a second clip, the suspects can be seen jumping into their getaway vehicle and driving away. Lim said running the license plate resulted in no hits which may indicate the plate is fake.

“Police attempting to capture large toad” isn’t a typical message you see pop up on your phone as a safety alert. But for San Francisco residents who have the Citizen app, many got exactly that as an alert on Tuesday afternoon.
