Are still trying to escape from the neighborhoods are facing this morning. Good morning, mike. Lisa. Its lisa, sorry. Thats okay. Well work through it, right . Here is a look at live doppler 7 where you have the low clouds and fog pushing into the city and a little bit of mist and drizzle there, so that is good news. Numbers are in the 50s and 60s, so cool here downtown and looking at the current air quality shows that were moderate in the south bay, unhealthy in the east bay. Better in the city right now, and pretty much fair to good in santa rosa and napa. But the relative humidity, this is really nice to look at, anywhere from 73 to 100 . So with the cooler temperatures, the relative humidity increases, although as we get warmer throughout the afternoon, that of course will drop and the winds will pick up. Three quarter mile visibility half moon bay. The next several hours, well look at the afternoon numbers coming up through the 90s, 80s around the what i. And then well see the fog coming back into play tonight as well. Reggie. Lisa, thank you. There are three main fire zones in the bay area. So to the south, there is the czu lightning complex still burning out of control with more evacuations orders. In the east bay, the scu lightning complex fire has scorched 157,000 acres. It is 5 contained. And to the north, the lnu lightning complex, that has already claimed four civilian lives and the life of a pg e worker. And three of those people who died were in napa county. So it is threatening the community of healdsburg this morning. Amy hollyfield is there live this morning with the latest on this battle to protect this town. Reporter we have new video from overnight. This house that is burning is on Wallace Creek road. This is west of healdsburg. This is about 2 00 this morning that this happened. This is the walbridge fire. Cal fire had said earlier in the week they were worried that this had the potential to become a major fire and it has done just that, it has burned 20,000 acres and an unknown number of homes in rural areas. Firefighters say they dont have the resources they normally would have for a fire like this because firefighters are responding to so many other different fires right now, but say they are trying to keep this from reaching more populated areas. Breaks my heart. This is my backyard. This is a fire that weve been worrying about for decades around here because it hasnt burned in so long. Just breaks my heart because as supervisor gore says, the people have been so diligent preparing their homes and vegetation management. At least everybody got out. Reporter 30,000 residents of Sonoma County have been ordered to evacuate. Mill creek road was hit hard yesterday and many homes were lost in that area. Cal fire is calling this the most critical fire burning in the region right now. From Sonoma County, amy hollyfield, abc 7 news. Governor newsom will be in the north bay this morning to give an update on the states response to the wildfires. That press conference will be at 11 00 and you can watch it live here on abc 7, also online at abc7news. Com as well as our abc 7 news apps. Evacuation orders have expanded in Santa Cruz County. The czu lightning complex fire has torched close to 50,000 acres between santa cruz and san mateo counties. Scotts valley residents and uc santa cruz campus are the latest to be evacuated and the Santa Cruz Boardwalk has been forced to close. Julian glover has the latest. Reporter people here in Scotts Valley, they go they got to leave around 6 00 last night and then after that, the mandatory evacuations came down for uc santa cruz, they were told to evacuate all 1200 students and also faculty. They now have an evacuation shelter set up on the boardwalk there in santa cruz. And speaking of those evacuations, were hearing that many of the hotels in santa cruz are nearing capacity, the quality inn on ocean streetnd ho and holiday inn say they are fully booked. Now they are putting up tents to help people displaced. Our shelter capacity is limited. We are putting people inside tents inside the shelter to control the pandemic and the disaster at the same time. Reporter again, you are looking at some video of some of the flames just torching homes in Boulder Creek in Santa Cruz County, cars charred as well. An update of where the fire stands right now, 48,000 people have been evacuated between santa cruz and san mateo counties, 48,000 acres have burned so far, about 50 structures destroyed, but 21,000 structures are being threatened at this time. We expect to get an update in about an hour at 6 00 a. M. On the status of this fire, the clchltczu lightning complex fire. Well bring to you live here. Julian glover, abc 7 news. More evacuations are expected because of the czu complex fire. This is what it looked like in evacuated communities like ben lomond and Boulder Creek. About 28,000 people have been evacuated in Santa Cruz County. Residents say they havent seen a fire like this in a while. Big basin hasnt burned like that in a long time, there is obviously a ton of fuel up there. When i heard propane standings starting to explode, i got out too. Cal fire is preparing to issue more orders and warnings to evacuate with this fire growing rapidly and with its 0 containment. Video recorded in bonny doon shows how intense the wildfires are. This time lapse shows the final images taken by an alert wildfire camera which is part of a network of 500 monitoring devices statewide. So you can see the flames are incredibly strong and seconds later the camera engulfed. Alert wildfire says this is the first time their cameras have been destroyed. The woodward fire is threatening 1600 structures. Residents have been given evacuation warnings, but if the winds pick up, a mandatory order is possible and that includes an 11 mile stretch. So far it has burned 1500 acres along the marine coast. They are holding the line along the north and south sides. This fire like so many him has 0 containment. Seven separate fires have burned 215,000 acres from the lnu lightning complex fire which again has 0 containment. The fire has destroyed at least 480 structures. We spoke to a vacaville family whose home is a loss. Jessica adams left her now destroyed house with her 1, 3 and 4yearolds in the middle of the night moments after being told by an officer they needed to leave immediately. We literally ran out with no shoes. My older daughter was like i dont even have shoes on and i told her, i dont either. It is okay. I need you to be a big girl. I need you to listen, i need you to get in the car seat. While this is all happening, her husband was at work. The adams say there isnt much left. Basically what you see are just pool floats and that toy shopping cart. The couple says they had only lived there for eight months. They were so excited and had been referring to it as their forever home. That is so tough. Smoke from the fires continues to choke the bay area. We want to look at the air quality. This purple air map shows real time readings. You can see the worst reading at this point is on alpine road in san mateo county. It is well into the 600s on the air quality index. And to give you some perspective, what is considered to be good is 50. They are at 600. As residents simultaneously deal with smoky air as well as the pandemic, a lot of people have questions about the effectiveness of the Face Coverings that were using. So inhaling wildfire smoke can cause coughing, sore throats, lung inflammation and even shortness of breath. Experts say a properly fitted n95 mask can help. However, they are in short supply because of the pandemic. So if you think another Face Covering can provide the same level of protection, think again. Certainly air that you are breathing can come from around the mask. And then not really get filtered appropriately. And that is one of the big differences between an n95 or p 100 respirator and a surgical mask or one of these cloth masks. Health experts say stay inside whenever possible as you wait for the air quality to improve. And a lot of people are waiting for that, lisa. What does it looks like for the next couple days . Unfortunately well be seeing the poor air quality stick around not only today, but through the weekend. There are just so many fire, they are expanding and that means the smoke plumes are expanding. As we get in to the afternoon seabreeze, this will push some of the smoke from one neighborhood to the other. So at times maybe the air quality seems a little better, but overall, it is looking poor to unhealthy certainly for our east bay and south bay. Here is a look at live doppler 7, you can see the fog from the city down through san mateo, so a pleasant sight for sure. But the wind wont help you in the south bear and tay and the. It will be blowing some of the smoke from the north bay fires and looking at conditions in the san mateo area tdeteriorating with that unhealthy air. 62 in san jose, so surface winds are pretty light. So we are looking at the high relative humidity, but as we take you down towards la honda, the winds will stay below 10 Miles Per Hour. And bay about say 78 00 in the evening maybe get a brief uptick as the low clouds and fog move back into the bay. There it is it at the golden gate. Smoky and hazy. Looking at the humidity and slight chance of maybe some showers sunday. Upper 60s in the city, 75 downtown, look for 80 in oakland, mid90s in walnut creek, 96 in antioch. Good morning, everyone. The biggest expansion we continue to see as major road closures in sants made d mateo cruz counties. Everything in purple is a full closure. So we have Boulder Creek, pescadero, la honda. And this is the newest one, full closure of 35 from 84 to state route 9 and then a full closure of 84 from 35 to highway 1. And then we have almost all of highway 1 down the coast to the santa cruz city limits that is a full closure. And another full closure state route 9 between 34 and ben lomond. And in the north bay, napa and 128 is closed between silverado trail and monticello road, it sends all the way to vacaville. And im circling this area because all of this is closed. You can clearly see the smoke resting over the area. For our other commuters this morning, because we do have a sigalert in San Francisco, this is northbound 101 before vermont street, the offramp there. So expect delays.

Number one, make sure that you have a personal plan. The personal plan should be your out of state contacts that everyone knows to dial in and report that you are well. And then secondly the Meeting Places, you want two designated Meeting Places in case you dont have access to your primary Meeting Place. Reporter aierica warns in times of disaster, families can easily become separated. Cell towers go down. Communication can be difficult making a Meeting Place essential. So that if you dont have immediate communication that you know that everyone in your family is trying to get to that backup place. Reporter second most important thing is to have a togo bag ready and packed, a backpack or plastic bag should be sufficient. It should be filled with a change of cloths, bottled water, energy bar, essential papers and battery operated or solar crank radio. And finally, document your possessions both inside and outside your home with a cellphone camera. If you havent done this in advance and you have at least half an hour, do it before you leave. Im Michael Finney, 7 on your side. And were getting a new look at californias drought situation. This is the latest drought map. So the one on the left is the new one and you can compare to last week and the drought is actually worse you can see in southern california. So check out this comparison to last year when 93 of the state was drought free. That is tough to see, lisa. Oh, it is. We havent even gotten to our driest time of year which is accepts and october and you remember the november wildfires. So yes, we are way ahead of schedule. So if you are a Climate Change deniy eier might make you real k when you see what were going through. Looking at the low clouds, the fog. Here in San Francisco, down along the san mateo coast, but that it about it. It is with us today and tomorrow and allows for temperatures to cool off this morning. The relative humidity to go up to about as high as it gets and that certainly is good news for all the fires out there. 52 in novato, 65 in oakland, 64 in heyward. Moderate air quality in the south bay, so that is an improvement. Not so bad in the north bay. And in the north bay, 77 degrees up here. And relative humidity is up to about 40 and 50 . The winds are light and looking at the winds increasing as we get through the later evening hours. So tomorrow looking at the warmer numbers saturday in our inland valleys.

And were coming back with another 90 minutes of news including the oneonone interview with mike pence, what he is saying about joe bidens effort to defeat donald trump.

Reporter and new video of the walbridge fire, the fire cal fire is calling the wildfires burns have taken a deadly turn. At least five people have lost their lives, four of them in the lnu lightning complex fires in the north bay, that includes three victims in napa county and one in Solano County. Electricity has been cut in parts of healdsburg on West Dry Creek road as the flames are burning close. These areas are under a mandatory valuation. And if you are there, leave. And fires in the Santa Cruz Mountains have grown to 48,000 acres. And flames continue their relentless path of destruction. Evacuation orders are in effect throughout the is san lorenzo valley and down to the city limits. Good morning on friday, august 21. And we know the weather will be tough for fire crews this weekend because the temperatures are heating back up. And lisa argen is in for mike today. How hot are we expecting to. Good morning. Maybe upper 80s and 90s, but the good news is low clouds and fog is back with us. Even 134 mist asome mist and dr. So temperatures are in the low to mid 50s in parts of the bay, but our relative humidity is as high as it can get. So that is good news. 80 in hayward, san jose 76 . And things have improved with the air quality index. Moderate to good for some, unhealthy in pleasanton, but well look at that changing throughout the day today. 80s around the bay this afternoon and 90s inland. And evacuation orders have been expanded in Santa Cruz County. Look at this video. This is from the Boulder Creek area. And it shows firefighters on the front lines, they are battling these flames trying to save homes near the Boulder Creek golf course. The czu lightning complex fire has torched close to 50,000 acres and the fires stretch from santa cruz into san mateo counties. Scotts valley residents and the uc santa cruz campus now evacuated and the board walk is closed until at least sunday. Julian glover is live in Santa Cruz County with what we know. Reporter the Santa Cruz Boardwalk actually being used as a temporary shelter of sorts for many of those uc santa cruz students who have been displaced. They got the word that they needed to evacuate around 7 30 last night, those 1200 students and faculty it i. And so total now of about 48,000 people who have been advantaging eighted. And Boulder Creek has been ripped by the flames. Some of the homes still actively burning by the time our crew got there. Cars charred as well. And weve been talking to folks in scotts volley where t valley that they have never seen it like this before. Never seen anything in Scotts Valley like this before, this is a rare one of a kind occasion. Were standing guard the best way we know how. Reporter again, uc santa cruz evacuated, they have been told to prepare to not to be able to return to campus for two weeks. So they could be spending quite a time away from their home, from where they live. We do expect to get an update from cal fire in about 30 minutes. So stick around for that. Yesterday that is where they told us the fire had exploded from 25,000 to 40,000 acres. And it is now at 48,000 acres. And well wait to see what the size of the fire is this morning. Still 0 contained. And were also looking to get an update about the conditions if visibility has improved enough so that they will be able to attack this fire from the air. That is something that lot of people have been curious about yesterday as the fire spread. Julian glover, abc 7 news. Whether you go to the north, east or south, there is fire in the bay area. So this map will give you a sense of how widespread the emergency is right now. Many fires are burning in five counties with widespread evacuations. The lnu lightning complex in the north bay has caused the most destruction to structures. At least 480 buildings have been destroyed, dozens more have been damaged. The fires have burned 215,000 acres, 0 containment. Cal fire says winds are a big threats as we head into the weekend. In the south bay, the scu is the bigger by size. The fire is the only one with any containment, that is at 5 . Evacuation orders and warnings remain in place for both of these fires. There has been another death in the fire zone north of vacaville. The Solano County Sheriffs Office says a man was found while crews were assessing fire damage on Pleasants Valley road. This was yesterday. And abc 7 news was along that street and you can see the devastation there. A pg e employee also died in the fire zone this week. And three people were killed by wildfires in napa county. Their bodies were found inside a burned home on highway 128 which is just south of lake berryessa. The victims identities have not been released. While the wall wl bridge fi walbridge fire is the primary focus, the chief says that they are really struggling with the lack of resources. There is no more equipment out there, people on the line since it started. It is a very difficult situation when you dont have crews that you can rotate in. The Sonoma County sheriff says fires are nearing two communication towers. So make sure that you have you multiple ways to get evacuation information. And crews might not be able to save armstrong woods. We just dont have the resources to keep that fire out of armstrong woods. So the fire is currently backing down into the park. It is not a flaming front which you would see from a more devastating fire. Cal fire Officials Say a hurricane brewing to our south could bring lightning early next week. The last thing we need right now as that could pose the threat of even more fires. And Sonoma County sheriff is reminding everyone that evacuation zones are dangerous places, please dont be a tourist. Wednesday night their deputies rescued a stranded motorist who was getting a closer look at the fire. The sheriff says this kind of behavior puts everyone at risk. We talked about the walbridge fire which is burning toward the town of healdsburg, that is a major concern this morning. Amy hollyfield is live in Sonoma County. Reporter yeah, they are really trying hard to protect healdsburg and populated areas. We do have video from overnight of this fire, it is a big one. This is a house on fire on Wallace Creek road west of healdsburg. This was shot about 2 00 this morning and this is the walbridge fire, the one that cal fire even earlier this week was already worried about. It has burned 20,000 acres. They dont know how many homes it has destroyed, but it is all in rural areas. They are working hard to keep it from getting to neighborhoods. But firefighters say that they dont have the resources they normally would have for a fire like this because there are so many fires right now burning and they are stretched pretty thin. But they are working hard to protect healdsburg as business owners, as wineries watch very nev nervously. Were scared as hell. This is unprecedented times for us. Weve been in business downtown now for almost 16 years. And the last three have been absolutely horrific. Were trying to figure out how to run a business here. Reporter go reporter about 30,000 are under evacuation warnings. So everyone is told to get out or be ready. Mill creek road was hit really hard yesterday. Officials say many homes were lost in that area, an area that is just beautiful here again just west of healdsburg. Cal fire right now is calling this the most critical fire burning in the region right now. We just drove down mill creek roa and as we stand here, we can see ash blowing around us. Achl a amy hollyfield, abc 7 news. And restaurants struggling from the pandemic now face another challenge from the smoke from all these wild fires. In la fayette, this Italian Restaurant had roughly 80 cancellations from outdoor diners. And then around the corner at ben heads barbecue texas, the owner says on a typical night they would have anywhere from 15 to 30 tables rotating on the patio, but last night there was only one. Just not enough that we can miss anything really. You know, we were already missing a lot. And then to have another hit like this is just tremendous. Well be fine, just have it go through these hard times. These will come back. Restaurant owners say that they are grateful to both people who order to go and to people who stay and eat with them despite the less than ideal conditions. And you can follow the fires statewide with our exclusive wildfire tracker, it is updated with the very latest information from cal fire. And you can check into see where these fires are spreading, how many acres have burned and the containment in real time. The abc 7 fire tracker is available at abc7news.

And also San Francisco is close to coming off the states watch list, but it is not going to happen right away. But first lets check in with lisa arrest again tragenargen. And good news is that we have fog here, relative humidity is up. Low clouds right along the city here down through half moon bay, san mateo and were looking at that smoke layer at about 25,000 to 3,000 feet. So it is above that marine layer well above it, and so that certainly isnt impacting that and we still will have the smoke over the bay area today as the low clouds burn back. 56 in santa rosa and were looking at the worst air quality here in livermore, unhealthy, a little better in san jose. And pretty good with the clouds in fremont this morning. Also were looking at gray conditions in oakland. Here is a look at the north bay fires. Temperatures in the 60s, the winds are light until about the afternoon when the fog comes back and we get that burst of some breezy winds. Warmest numbers in the north bay, mid90s today and tomorrow. So warm, but not as warm. And the rest of the bay area experiencing the gusty winds at the coast and elsewhere about 15 Miles Per Hour around the bay. Were watching this next system over the weekend to bring not only a chance of showers in to sunday and monday, but perhaps maybe a thunderstorm. But as for today, it is 75 in the city, 79 in san mateo, 93 santa rosa and 94 in livermore with a spare the air alert. And im seeing the smoke show up on my traffic graphics as well. And well bring you right to those maps because we are seeing new major road closures. Especially in san mateo and santa cruz counties. Full closure of 35 between 84 and state route 9. And also closure of 35 from 84 to state route 9. So we excuse me, i read that wrong. So a full closure of 84 from 35 to highway 1. Sorry. So many numbers here. A lot of closures. Bottom line, this area has been evacuated, so no one really should be in this area. And also closure of highway 1. And also here you can see the full closure of 9. And north bay, closure 128 between silverado trail and monticello. And then again all of this area in vacaville just shut down. So this is an evacuation zone, no one should be in this area. You can see the smoke overlaying there, so please be careful and avoid the area. Also for our other commuters this morning, in San Francisco, we have a sigalert on northbound 101 before free month, the offramp there. Multiple lanes are closed. It is a big mess so but what if you could startdo better than that . Like adapt. Discover. Deliver. In new ways. To new customers. What if you could come back stronger . Faster. Better. At comcast business, we want to help you not just bounce back. But bounce forward. And now, were committed to helping you do just that with a powerful and reliable internet and voice solution at a great price. Call or go online today. Want restand schools . Pen . Want the economy to get back on track . Youre not alone. And you can help make it happen. Stay 6 feet apart. Wash your hands. Wear a mask every time you leave your home. Choose to join the fight against covid19. Do your part. Slow the spread. Waking up to low clouds and fog in the city. 2 1 2 mile visibility up towards novato. And also cooler numbers, 54 novato, 61 in san ramon. Relative humidity, 80 . 100 novato. So just where we like it to helps firefighting efforts. And the air quality is a little better this morning. Unhealthy in the east bay, but elsewhere moderate to good. That will change as the seabreeze kicks up. So well climb to the 80s and 90s inland. Well get to our fire coverage in a moment, but we want to talk about other headlines this morning. Vice president mike pence is responding to joe bidens official nomination at the dnc. During his speech, biden said trump has failed at protecting americans from the coronavirus pandemic. But pence said that he was proud of the president s response. When asked if he and the president underestimated the situation, he would not answer but he credited americans for recent drop in cases. Pence also said that bidens proposed plan would not work. If we had done what joe biden wanted to do, the losses would have been much more. It is remarkable when you looked at that speech last night literally everything that joe biden said that we should be doing on the coronavirus, President Trump has been doing from very early on. Trump and pence are expected to accept their nominations next week at the Republican National convention. You can watch the full interview on gma at 7 00 right here after abc 7 mornings. So you just heard mike pences review of the speech last night. Lets give you a look at it. This is a lifechanging election. This will determine what america is going to look like for a long time. He is laying out a detailed plan while also blasting President Trumps handling of the crisis. Our current president s failed. In his basic duty. He failed to protect us, he failed to protect america. And my fellow americans, that is unforgivable. And republicans model their c hold their Convention Next week. And abc news is the First Network to land a joint interview with joe biden and km. You can watch it sunday night. And they will still down with david muir and robin roberts. This morning San Francisco is still on the watch list. And that is because the city failed to meet two of the key requirements set by the state. Coronavirus case rates are still too high and there are not enough icu beds. So this is disappointing news for businesses who were hoping that they could reopen. Counties removed from the list could start to open hair salons and gyms and indoor malls. Well, we are still looking at the poor air quality. Temperatures will be warm in the inland valleys, what you would expect for late august, but not as warm even though were getting in to a warmer scenario as we get towards next week. But right now, low clouds and fog visiting us this morning and so that is a welcome relief. 61 in blackhawk, 73 Higher Elevations and that is where the smoke is well above the marine layer. You can see the fog here in pacifica, 56 santa rosa. So the air quality a little better in san jose, fremont with the fog there, looking good. And as well as san mateo. That will change as the seabreeze begins to push the plumes to the south and east. So as we look at the wind gusts throughout the day today, you can see along the coast, quite gusty, but at about 2 00, that breeze continues to flow across the bay, it strengthens, so by about 5 00, 6 00, well get strong winds around the fires.
