That goal is close to being met. We reached out to uc berkeley officials who say theyre aware of the incident and are looking into it. Lisa amin gulezian, abc 7 heres more on what those gusty winds and where they originated. See thunderstorms down to our south a couple hours ago. Notice how they collapse into just nothing within two hours. All of that air rushed out of the storm, moved north through our valleys and accelerated a little bit when it gets squeezed. Its the same thing you saw happen in miami with irma. When you push wind through Tall Buildings it squeezes them and accelerates them, and thats what we had move through this morning, why we have the Power Outages in the south bay. That along with the cloud cover keeping us warm this morning, up to 15 degrees warmer than yesterday morning. We wont quite end in the same neighborhood today. Well still be warm but not as hot as yesterday. Low to mid70s in the east bay until you get to antioch and also pittsburg. Low to mid70s. Mid to upper 60s along the coast. Here is a look at sfo this morning. Light breezes on the bay. Beaches, mild highs. Slightly sticky if our going to be outdoors. After a record high 92, oakland 83 today. Atually below average by wednesday and thursday. More on your accuweather sevenday forecast coming up next. Heres alexis. We have a big issue out of the Central Valley, a crash involving a motorcycle. It sounds like a construction truck westbound 580 just before you get to north flynn road. A terrible spot to have this blocking right along that Altamont Pass commute. The two right lanes are still blocked. We do have reports in to chp that motorcycle rider is standing on the shoulder. So hopefully that means everybody is okay. Emergency crews have been dispatched but theyre not on the scene yet. 7 miles an hour, 9 miles an hour as you approach. That is only going to get worse. Up to about 1 10 out of tracy. A quick check of the san mateo bridge just before this camera at the toll plaza a pretty big car fire off on the right shoulder but could slow you down just before you get to this point. Next traffic update at 5 20. Thanks, alexis. What is happening here . The rare phenomenon that took place as Hurricane Irma hit florida. Sean spicer back at the job and not at the white house. The new gig he is starting today. It is 5 11. We want to you have a better day. Day. Heres a picture you only see on its 5 13. This is why people were so frightened in key largo. It shows how irma drained coastal sea beds as it ravaged the keys. Its an uncommon phenomenon and it happens as water is sucked into the approaching storm and then, of course, comes back after the storm has passed. People affected by Hurricane Irma are going to desperately need our help and its, of course, good to give. There is a way and a time to do that. In todays gma first look the dos and the donts. Reporter in this mornings gma first look a onceinalifetime storm with a price tag of 200 billion. Hurricane irma may be the most expensive storm in u. S. History. Wow. Reporter one of the easiest ways to give is by texting irma to 90999. You can donate 10 to the red cross that way. Experts also recommend donating money to established organizations like the united way, salvation army, and save the children. And Many Organizations are asking to hold off on those material donations like clothes. We recognize thats incredibly generous but at the same time it slows us down. Those need to be sorted and cleaned and we just dont have time for that right now. Reporter and coming up at 7 00 a. M. David muir and amy robach lead your coverage. Crazy video. And we are tracking developing news, a mass shooting in texas. Police say at least eight people are dead including the suspect. Two others are hurt.

Here is a look at whats going on in walnut creek looking south on 680. Temperatures in the low to mid70s. Today warm. Well throw in some humidity and a chance of showers later on this afternoon into the evening hours. Those will continue overnight. A slight chance some of them could drop some lightning and we could hear some thunder. The extended will be cool wednesday. Temperatures are going to cool down through wednesday and then return not quite to this past weekends levels but it will get warmer than average this coming weekend. Isnt it nice Mother Nature keeps giving us these warm weekends . 69 at half moon bay. 79 in San Francisco. Observin oakland, 81. Into the south bay, 87 in san jose to 92 in morgan hill. 94 to 97 in our inland east bay neighborhoods. Air conditioning weather there and again in the north bay, 85 to about 87. 79 in richmond today. A look at the area of low pressure. This is what remember last time we had an area of low pressure from the south, it dragged all that heat and humidity up our way. This one is doing pretty much the same thing. This one has a little bit more energy as you can see by all the lightning strikes that its producing. Right now those are rotating out over the ocean but as this low draws closer this afternoon and overnight, thats when well have a chance of seeing some of those showers. You can see by noon starting to creep into the monterey bay. 4 00 theyre still down to our south but notice as we head into deeper into the evening rush some scattered theres one there, one there, one there and one there. Thats highly scattered showers and possible thunderstorms. And they continue during the overnight hours through about 4 30 tomorrow. And then moves to the north. And then more redevelop tomorrow afternoon. Notice theyre not quite as widespread as theyre going to be with the first push of this wet weather. Here is a look at our temperatures tonight, not quite as warm as this morning but still warmer than average from 61 in santa rosa to nearing 70 in about antioch. A look at my accuweather sevenday forecast. Not as hot today. No record highs. Still a little warm and humid tomorrow. And then once that low passes, it drags in some cooler air for wednesday and thursday and you can see the temperatures ramp right back up friday, saturday and sunday. Have a good one. Heres alexis. Taking a look at the roads this morning. Unfortunately we had some high wind gusts that knocked out power in a few areas in the south bay in the Early Morning hours and that means a high wind advisory on highway 17 right around hamilton avenue. Chp was reporting smaller tree branches and some debris earlier this morning. Be on the lookout for that. State route 17 at lark avenue, thats one of those spots where we have some dark stoplights. So you know what you have to do there, treat those as a fourway stop and use extreme caution on the roads today. Drive time from westbound 580 tracy into dublin not looking so good. We still have that motorcycle crash right along Altamont Pass so 1 31 minutes. We do have emergency crews on the scene. More on that shortly. Everyone else looking okay.

Number one from the live desk is breaking news about 4,000 customers still without power after strong winds battered the south bay this morning. Dozens of trees snapped. Now cleanup is under way.

It comes after a skunk had to be rescued from two traps here in the bay area. Crews had to save this little guys life after it was drawn to a pair of the traps near an outdoor grill. Out traps have round edges that allow larger animals to slip away. The new ones use serrated edges that clamp down on the animals. They are intended for indoor use. Wildlife services called for better labeling so people know to keep them indoors. This time the skunk survived. Check this out, a rare animal spotted in wood side last week. A photographer snapped this photo of a long tailed weasel. The chronicle reports there are few photos of them ever taken but theyre likely to come out this year because of the wet winter bringing out small rodents which is their source of food. I honestly would have thought that i was just hallucinating if i saw that. Like a weird raccoon. This is not an animal that exists on earth, is it . You have to go there. Incredible. Reginald, i think i know the answer, how much would you pay for a bowl of soup . Not as much as people are paying in taiwan apparently. I guess thats where people have money to burn because they are forking over some major dough for this luxurious bowl of beef noodle soup. You have to tell me about this. All right. So its called president ial beef noodle soup. They serve it at a small popular restaurant in taiwan. And hold on to your horses. It costs 250. The restaurants owner says patrons are paying for the higher quality. Does that look really high quality to you . It really looks like a bowl of chopped ramen plus delicious beef on top. Its specialty cut beef imported from australia. That looks like the 2 cubed beef my mom bought from the store and she would make some beef stew out of it and i didnt know any better. Mama aquinos how to cook. And how to stretch a dollar. Thats right. More importantly. Coming back with a full 90 minutes of news. The suspect in a deadly stabbing in the north bay.

They started in the south bay about an hour and a half, two hours ago now through concord and fairfield and over the next 45 minutes or so will be completely out of here. Helping keep our temperatures up with the cloud cover. 62 to 70 degrees. The cloud cover and extra hume, 70s at the coast, mid80s around the bay. 93 inland. A chance of thunderstorms in your neighborhood coming up. Heres alexis. If you are just waking up and joining us a pretty big issue if youre trying to get out of the tracy area. A crash involving a motorcycle down to just the far left lane blocked. We have had two lanes blocked the last 30 minutes. Its just before you get to north flynn road on 580. Just a terrible spot to have any lanes down. Youre down to 6 miles an hour, 4 miles an hour approaching. That is over an hour and a half right now if youre leaving tracy trying to get to dublin, Patterson Pass road an alternate starting to fill in as well. No official word the metering lights ae on yet. On top of these two slow spots we also have a slowdown for the san mateo bridge and in sunol. Well talk about those up next. The big news nationally is in florida as Hurricane Irma gets downgraded to a Tropical Storm. Well get to florida in just a second. First we do have some severe local weather to deal with. Nothing compared to irma but winds are knocking down trees in the south bay. Matt keller is live in los gatos. Good morning, matt. Reporter good morning, natasha and reggie. The winds have significantly died down. Over the past hour or so here in the south bay, but the work continues. You can see a pg e crew is here right at the exit ramp at lark avenue in los gatos and 17. They are working to get the power back on in this area. A lot of wires went down during this freak wind storm. You can see just how powerful these winds were. This is in los gatos. You can see how windy it was. Santa clara fire got more than 20 calls this morning of power lines and trees down starting at about 2 40. San jose fire, a lot of other Fire Departments getting calls. More than 11,000 customers were without power. Theres about 4,500 here in the south bay without power. Check out this video near peach hill road. This tree went down during the wind storm landing on a power line. A very dangerous situation. Be careful as you head out. This intersection, the stoplights are on. We have power here but there are many stoplights that do not have power so when you approach them make sure youre treating 24e i as a fourway stop and doublecheck the cars in the other directions are stopping as well. Reporting live in los gatos, matt keller, abc news. And now to the developing news in florida where Hurricane Irma has been downgraded to a Tropical Storm and is now moving into georgia. A live look from orlando and disneyland was forced to close because of the weather conditions. Now here is the latest and there you have a look at what were talking about. This isnt orlando because orlando isnt on the ocean but im assuming this is maybe Port Canaveral or something in the area. Ill check on that. Police in lakeland say a family with small children was rescued from a car that was submerged in water with the water reaching the childrens car seats. How frightening. People are being reminded to stay inside and observe the curfew. Many are without power right now. That number has grown to nearly 6 million customers. Wind and rain from irma have moved into South Carolina and officials are warning residents there to be very careful throughout the day. Mike nicco is tracking irma as it slowly loses strength but i think its too early to say this is all over, right, mike . That is correct, reggie. It will dump a lot of rain and has winds fast enough to cause damage. Notice behind me on live doppler 7 and also tampa, and you can see the eye opening as it unwinds due to the fact its been over land and because its unwinding like a skater who throws her arms out to slow down her spin or his. Thats what were seeing happen right now. Notice the moisture being pulled off the atlantic into South Carolina, georgia, and florida. And thats where were going to see the flooding. Winds 70 miles an hour so that is still very dangerous that trees could come down and once you get into georgia and South Carolina they have a ton of pine trees that are easy to snap. Monday at 2 00 this afternoon you can see its right over albany, georgia, heading right up to columbus, georgia, and then heading up by tomorrow afternoon into birmingham, alabama. Its also going to run into some mountains in northern alabama and georgia, and that is where we could see even more flooding. Guys . Hi, everyone. I do want to show you this incredible flooding actually in jacksonville, florida. This was overnight, but we just got word here moments ago on my computer that storm surge is the problem there and has actually set a record. It has surpassed levels set by Hurricane Dora back in 1964, and officials there are warning another 1 to 2 feet are possible. There have been at least 125 water rescues in that area. So a major problem there this morning and irma setting records, reggie. Thank you so much. Members of a San Francisco bay area urban search and rescue team are in florida to respond to the needs of residents facing the hurricane, now Tropical Storm. 30 members of task force three prepared to bed down after arriving shortly before 9 00 last night.

This morning President Trump will mark the anniversary of the september 11 terrorist attacks. You are looking live at the National September 11th memorial in new york city where it will be the center of todays commemoration which is already getting under way. The names of almost 3,000 People Killed are inscribed along the edges of the reflecting pool there. 16 years ago today al qaeda militants flew two hijacked planes into the twin towers of the old World Trade Center. A third plane hit the pentagon. A fourth crashed in a field in pennsylvania after passengers overpowered the hijackers. The president and first lady will observe a moment of silence at the white house and will attend a ceremony at the pentagon. Vice president pence will be in shanksville, pennsylvania. The first one beginning in just a few minutes. Im sure im not the only one who still gets bumps. California will sue the Trump Administration for rescinding daca that currently protects 800,000 undocumented people in the u. S. The president s decision has sparked protests across the country. Our state attorney general says ending daca will harm d. R. E. A. M. Ers, californias economy, and Higher Education system.

Mexican Officials Say the trip is intended to send a message to the administration that the country should work together. California is home to about 4 Million People born in mexico. Law enforcement searching for suspects, possibly two women accused of shooting an offduty police officer. This happened in lathrop around 2 00 yesterday afternoon. The officer was shopping at a target store when one, possibly two suspects tried to carjack him. He was shot twice and is recovering from surgery and is expected to survive. Its not clear if the suspect or suspects got away with his vehicle. Friends and fans are remembering a popular deejay 40z killing shocked members of San Franciscos transgender community. Abc 7 news was in the tender loin for a vigil honoring anthony torres. Many knew him as bubbles. He was playing music as he often did when an argue many erupted and he was shot Early Saturday Morning. Nobody deserves to be treated like this. So were here to his friends and want to be sure his voice is remembered. Friends describe torres as an artist and activist in the transgender community. They feel he may have been targeted because of how he identified. That was a hate crime. We need the city of San Francisco to respond accordingly. We need the Police Department to respond accordingly. Police say there is no evidence to suggest a hate crime took place. Detectives believe the shooter came from the new strip club before firing the shot. Lets go back a couple hours on live doppler you can see they were rotating to the north and northwest when a thunderstorm collapses, the heavier air, the colder air from the top of it sinks down, hits the ground and accelerates. In this case it accelerated through the Santa Clara Valley and kept moving north through the rest of our neighborhoods and once it squeezed into the valleys that makes it accelerate even faster and thats why we had the gusty winds this morning, why were dealing with Power Outages and trees down. As you head through the north bay, 72 in san rafael, easily the warm spot. The rest of us in the 63 to 68 degree range until you get up to 60. Look at the low to mid70s all around the bay shore and the south bay. Also our inland east bay neighborhoods brentwood at 79. Right now 68 in half moon bay. You can see the camera still shaking a little bit on the east bay hills but not like it was. Caution if youre on the roads, breezy the next hour or so. Mass transit mild to hot. As we head past the morning commute, look at all these thunderstorms in the sierra, the grapevine, monterey. Its all coming our way. Heres alexis. We have quite a few problems this morning so i want to take to you a Traffic Alert in the sunol area. Chp issued a sig alert for northbound 680 just before state route 84.

Absolutely one of those things, mike, you still remember and cant believe its been 16 years. Never forget where i was, never forget where i was sitting, what i was facing, who i was watching. Bryant gumbel at the time on cbs this morning because i worked there just then. What did i just see . Youll never forget. I just hope for those folks that are suffering today the pain is not as raw as it used to be and every year it gets a little less. Lets take a look at whats going on back here at home. Lets try to lighten up the mood just a bit without forgetting what day it is. The Golden Gate Bridge not quite as breezy as normal this morning and not quite as foggy either. Sun and clouds today, warm and humid. Storms possible today and tomorrow and a midweek dip and then a warmer week coming our way. Hopefully it wont be as warm as last weekend if you didnt like that record heat. 79 in San Francisco. 69 at the coast. Low to mid80s around the bay. 87 in san jose. Mid to upper 90s. Mid to upper 80s up in the north bay. As i promised lets take an hour by hour look at whats going on. 7 00 this morning, pretty quiet out there. By noon you can see the storms trying to regenerate down to our south and by 4 00 theyre starting to knock on our door and then there you can see by 7 00 just some very isolated where you see the darkest green thats one storm. Theres four storms right there. And then theres five or six or seven during the evening commute overnight through tomorrow morning and you can see by the end of tomorrows commute most Storm Chances to the north and then another chance redeveloping tomorrow. Just not quite to the extent we have today. Scattered storms today to isolated thunderstorms tomorrow to wednesday and thursday being our coolest days with temperatures in the 60s and 70s. But 70s, 80s and 90s will return for the weekend. Watching the winds, the Power Outages in south bay. You said several intersections without electricity so no lights. Anything else youre watching . Yeah, you have to treat those as a fourway stop. Weve had a really busy start, unfortunately. I want to take to you a Traffic Alert now getting out of the Central Valley. A really tough drive out of tracy. A tenmile backup. Our typical delay there but, boy, it is much worse than normal this morning all due to a crash involving a motorcycle, 580 just before you get to north flynn road. That left lane is blocked. Sounds like the tow truck is trying to get to the scene. Theyre asking if they can use the righthand shoulder and major delays there if youre trying to get out of tracy. Patterson pass road probably will save you about 30 minutes although that is starting to look congested as well. A little bit of better news in sunol. Our sig alert canceled before state route 84. A disabled semi taking up three lanes and seeing on looker delay o the southbound side. All lanes opened back up about five minutes ago. And a new crash in the hayward area just before you get to whipple avenue. Multicar collision that is blocking the hov lane. A lot going on this morning.

Uc has five centers dedicated to cancer research. Building for the impact of Climate Change was the focus of a competition in the east bay. Abc 7 news was in richmond where ten design teams took part in a campaign called resilient by design yesterday. The program aims to protect bay area residents and cities from being impacted by Climate Change. We need to adapt as the climate is changing and that means cities and counties have to work together. We cant be we cant be parochial in our ideas. We starte after hurricane sandy, and the idea was to bring the best minds of the world to build back better than we had before.

You should google the map sometime or ill put on social media. Here is a look at whats going on. Baseball, the dodgers in town. It would be nice to knock them off their perch just a little bit. 7 15 first pitch. Notice how warm its going to be at at t park. 74. Not very breezy but humid. 67 by the end of the game. Look at our temperatures tonight, 61 in san rafael, the cool spot antioch at 68. Palo alto. 6 at san jose. A chance of showers and thunderstorms continues overnight. Alexis . Not looking so good on the roads. The san mateo bridge, a total parking lot just past the toll plaza and this is all due to a fire we have right around the high rise, a vehicle fire, so theyre trying to get the tow truck to the scene but theyre having trouble getting there. Thats a pretty significant delay. Metering lights on this morning at 5 27 and then just a brutal drive time out of the Central Valley. Westbound 580 tracy to dublin hour, 45 minutes. Stopping robo calls, new at 6 00, 7 on your sides Michael Finney explains how to stop getting pestered even if youre on a no call list. Its going to be the highlight of my morning.

A lot going on, honoring those we lost on september 11th and whats happening with a Tropical Storm down graded from a hurricane, and we have weather to talk about here in the bay area surprisingly. People didnt realize this was happening this morning. You cant forecast thunderstorm wind gusts the way we had this morning. That was more of a freak of nature that caught a lot of us off guard and you can see down in the south bay right now the winds are back down to 3 miles an hour but are still moving northbound through the bay. 24mileperhour gusts in concord. 32 in napa and 33 fair field.

To the south a little bit use Patterson Pass road that will save you likely at least half an hour and were start to go improve northbound 680. All lanes cleared
