Reporting along southbound 680 at main street, you can actually see those Speed Sensors starting to pick up some delays, it appears one of those vehicles may be blocking one of the lanes and thats going to cause some delays, especially because its already 6 00. Were also following another cratch along eastbound 84 right before 680. You can see just before that traffic collision the yellow and the red, Speed Sensors definitely showing some slowing. Its time to head out now because that traffic is definitely building. I will send it back to you. Developing this morning, a shelter in place has been lifted after a fire at a scrap metal yard in richmond. This is video at the fires peak yesterday. You can see the thick plumes of smoke and the flames. Pete suratos is live at that scene with the major progress firefighters have made overnight. Pete, it looks like they have things under control at this point. Reporter yeah, marcus, things are definitely under control here on south Fourth Street in front of that metal facility that caught on fire yesterday. Of course, its a much different scene here. Look, as were standing here you can still kind of smell that odor in the air but i confirmed with richmond fire that there are no longer high levels of chemicals in the air since that fire is under control. No shelter in place for folks in this area. You guys are taking a look at the scene yesterday when those flames were very high. According to richmond fire theyre saying this all started just after 5 00 underneath a pile of scrap metal at the recycling facility. Its too early to tell what caused that fire, but immediately fire officials ordered five neighborhoods in richmond to shelter in place. Basically right now crews are working with the facility to move piles of that scrap metal looking for any hot spots. Fire crews are dealing with steam and smoldering, different than last night. I had a chance to speak with richmond fire about the scene last night. It was a really large pile when we got on scene some portions were up to 30 feet tall and the fire was at the highest point in the center of the pile. So what we have had to do is work with the heavy equipment to remove that metal and peel it away. As we do that it actually provides oxygen to the pile which gets flareups so that became a problem overnight, trying to extinguish the fire. Reporter once again those affected neighborhoods were santa fe, atkinson, North Richmond and richmond parkway. You no longer have a shelter in place so richmond fire says you can open your windows that shelter in place is no longer in place. We still have fire crews on scene, five fire trucks last time we checked theyre dealing with the smoldering in that scrap metal but the good news is that shelter is no longer in place and folks are able to resume their normal activities throughout the day.

Thanks for joining us on this wednesday, im kris sanchez, in for laura garcia. And im marcus washington. We have Team Coverage of the lunar trifecta this morning. With he want to begin with kari hall. We call it a blue moon because this is the second full moon in a calendar month, but it doesnt actually appear blue as you can see, but it was a blood moon when we see the earths shadow cast on to the moon it makes it appear as a red hue.

Chp has not issued a sig alert but in the chp report they say it might be advised so im going to keep a close eye on that. Coming sky way we may want to hop off of that highway entirely before even thinking about jumping on before this exit, also back behind frances street, just take the surface streets in this area because this looks like its going to be pretty heavy delays throughout the Early Morning hours. Happening right now all eyes are on the sky this morning as we monitor that historic lunar trifecta. Here is what it looks like right now from the Research Center there, it is a blue moon, a super moon, blood moon. This is only the first time that its happened since 1866. Today scott budman is live in san jose this morning to show us the view from there. I see you have that telescope there. So youre getting a really good view. Reporter yeah, you know, its been good, one thing just listening and talking about this i think we all agree we need to come up with a better name at some point for this kind of thing, maybe in 185 years we will come up with something better. The moon very low, its going down on the horizon. Im in south san jose. You may be able to catch a little bit of it depending on trying to get out of the way of houses and trees. It is a clear sky, though. Some of the cloud covering that was here a little earlier this gone and because weve now transitioned from the red back into the sort of post eclipse white you are seeing a very bright moon. This actually for those of you who do have telescopes or those who like looking at the moon for the naked eye, this morning is part one. Tonight we see the super moon and that will be 20 closer than usual so its going to be another very bright night this evening. What you are looking at is some shots we were table to take early this morning near totality when the red light was reflecting off the surface of the moon giving us such an incredible rare event. I know youve been talking about whats been going on up at chab chabot, we were at foothill observatory yesterday, some of us who just want to go to a nearby parking lot and pull out the telescope and do it by ourselves. What we call backyard astronomy a way to bring people in and try to get people interested in this kind of thing, especially young people. Its been a fun morning. Again, getting low right now, there is still a chance to see it all, totally visible with the naked eye and its been a really cool morning. People sharing pictures online and its just been that kind of a day, the kind of day we havent seen since the eclipse of some time ago. Tonight another chance to see the super moon where the moon will be 20 closer to the earth. So weather permitting it should be pretty bright. Send it back to you guys.

The press democrat reports that the county plans to file a 25 million lawsuit to cover costs of clearing debris and replacing temperature there. Cal fire still has not determined the exact cause for the fires, but the utility says it is still focused on recovery efforts. This would be the first firerelated lawsuit filed by a government entity. New this morning, Sonoma County deputies credit an alert resident on noticing this truck in an area destroyed by last octobers wildfires and then reporting that to authorities. This may look like a work truck, but investigators say the two suspects were actually bogus cleanup crew members, complete with fake uniforms and hard hats. They were stealing from burned out properties. They are accused of taking metal and tools and selling those for profit. Boft of the men are facing felony theft charges. You may notice street signs in parts of the north bay you hadnt noticed before. Those signs come after last years bear fire. Take a look.

As youre getting ready to hit the road we do have a couple troubled spots in the bay area and typically along westbound 580 we see this just before flynn road there is a traffic collision blocking one of the lanes. Look at how heavy that backup is. Unfortunately you dont have too many options when it comes to 580. We are seeing another crash along westbound 80 at pinol valley road. Appears two lanes are blocked. They have not issued a sig alert allow chp was possibly advising one. Were seeing the delay all the way behind cummings skyway. Hop off on frances street just after you get off the bridge and you should be okay to take surface streets and eventually hot back on. Lets take a live look at some of our traffic cameras, very messy, very built up bay bridge right now looking absolutely congested and terrible. Right now oakland we are seeing some heavy delays out of that area. We saw a minor fenderbender up there which could be causing some stop and go traffic. Just dont close your eyes. I just did, but you dont. We are daydreaming about the weekend and its going to be a nice one no matter what youre planning to do.

S. Navy is holding a Community Meeting on the ongoing cleanup effort at Hunters Point shipyard. In the meantime our Investigative Unit has been unearthing new information about the cleanup. Navy officials tells us they have been reviewing radiation data from the contractor tetra tech. Officials believe 50 of that data showed inconsistencies and that a good portion of that is likely fraudulent. That could lead to more cleanup. The 900 acre site was once home to a radiological defense lab, it is now set to become one of San Franciscos largest redevelopment projects including new homes, parks and shops. You can watch our full investigative report on nbcbayarea. Com. 6 45. Time is running out to sign up for healthcare through covered california. That deadline is midnight tonight.

According to the examiner the current building has road events, asbestos and sewage spills. Analysts tell us they are worried that there could be mass casualties in the event of a major earthquake. Millions of americans watched President Trump deliver the state of the union last night. Scott mcgrew, lots of people had lots of strong reactions. Indeed they did. Twitter said there was a Record Number of tweets last night. Certainly youre seeing reaction from the talking heads on cable news. What we havent seen yet this morning is a tweet from donald trump so far nothing. Lets take a look at last night. The president of the united state states. All in all standard speech, the usual calls for unity and praise for various guests in the audience. One of the things that we were looking for more information on mr. Trumps plan on immigration. Here is the president from last night. Over the next few weeks the house and senate will be voting on an Immigration Reform package. In recent months my administration has met extensively with both democrats and republicans to craft a bipartisan approach to Immigration Reform. Now, as for those bipartisan meetings, those are the meetings where trump called an african countries or countries a very bad word and where he reneged on a bipartisan deal brought to him by a team of republicans and democrats. Now, one significant moment trump once again calls for a path to citizenship for dreamers. The first pillar of our framework generously offers a path to citizenship for 1. 8 million illegalhcw immigrants w were brought here by their parents at a young age. That covers almost three times more people than the Previous Administration covered. You could hear some faint nos at the beginning there. Hard line republicans call what hes calling for amnesty. Its been a third rail for conservatives. It comes with conditions of course the democrats dont like. We saw the teleprompter version of the president last night, not the president who slings insults via twitter, calling for bipartisanship during the state of the union on the left, but calling Democratic Senators names on twitter. We examine the president s tweets and executive orders and speeches every day right here on today in the bay. We love hearing about what you think of our coverage. Im on twitter scottmcgrew. Happening now live pictures of the super blue blood moon from nasas feed this morning. Look at that. That is the flight Research Center at Edwards Air Force base. How beautiful is that .

Im karihallweather on twitter. We can all look at the eclipse this morning. Here is a look at our live view from San Francisco this morning. We have about 20 minutes left before you will see that little sliver in the corner turn bright white and the sun will be rising, too. A little bit more time left. We talked about the fog and its been so dense for parts of the north bay and drifting around. So in santa rosa we cannot see the eclipse right now and we havent been able to see it throughout the morning. It will be clearing gradually for a Beautiful Day. With err in for a lot of sunshine.
