This morning John Swett Unified School district and four campuses are closed this morning. We want to first get a check of the forecast for you this morning. Definitely a fall start. Fall start, Cool Temperatures. As we look at this, when that refinery fire first broke out, it was visible on satellite imagery, thats a look at the arrow pointing towards that. Now as we wake up this morning, air quality is improving, we are seeing clouds still around the area but we have to watch out for that with light winds picking up from the northwest at about 7 Miles Per Hour in the area of crockett. And we are going to see some improvement today in the air quality as well as our temperatures coming down a few degrees. Well talk about some rain moving in, and mike seeing a lighting change in palo alto . Thats right because up until a few minutes ago, this section was well lit by crews, they have cleared, still a couple lights, thats moving north as far as the clearing goes up. So you may see a little more slowing for the next few minutes headed down to the dunbarton bridge on 101. Theres a crash out of the livermore pleasant area, but no problems. I80, i dont want to steal your thunder but folks that is open for the commute. Back to you. Investigators plan to be out at the site all day today to learn what sparked the inferno at the facility in crockett. The fire was huge and burned for seven hours. The fire and smoke created numerous problems and raised concerns about health and the traffic affected in that area. Amazing. The video showing the moment one full tank exploded into that huge fireball. A total of two storage tanks blew up, sending huge plumes of smoke skyward for hours, forcing i80 to close in both directions. All lanes are open the this morning. It also triggered a shelter in place for crockett and surrounding communities. The air quality by last night rebounded enough to allow authorities to lift the shelter in place. B and firefighters tweeted out schools will be open but thats not the case. All schools will be closed. Today in the bays thom jensen live in crockett. Hows the air quality this morning . Reporter i can tell you its improved in in the last hour and a half or so as the winds picked up. Theres still a smell of burning oil, smoke in the air. Stronger earlier. We saw firefighters down by these tankers earlier spraying water and foam and we saw some of the foam as the winds picked up blow puffs of the foam up the hillside. But calmer than it was yesterday. Weve seen investigators on the scene with flashlights going around the edge of the tank, possibly beginning that early investigation into what caused this or maybe making sure that everything is sealed up properly. We hope to get new information as the day wears on. It began with two explosions at about 1 30 yesterday afternoon, the blast sent the top of one of the tanks hurling into the air and people said the ground shook violently. Then the inferno that caused such a smoke cloud that the interstate was closed throughout the afternoon until about 10 00 last night. A shelter in place was ordered for crockett and rodeo and people were told to turn off the air Conditioning Systems to keep the smoke out of their homes. So finally announcing the shelter in place and fire restrictions were lifted last night. All of the shelter in place warnings have been lifted for both the freeway, interstate 80, and the communities of crockett, rodeo, and the northern part of hercules. With an all clear we ask residents impacted to please open your doors and windows to air out buildings and homes. You can resume normal activities at this time. Reporter now there is no indication that there was any environmental damage to any of the coolschools. But out of an abundance of caution and also to give them time enough to alert parents, the School District made the call early yesterday evening to close all schools in John Swett Unified School district. We caught that this morning, that means middle school school, john swett high school, rodeo elmen induste elmen tri and willow high school. Investigators will take advantage of the daylight in the next couple hours when it comes to see what caused the fire here at the Nustar Energy facility in crockett.

In antioch, at 50 degrees and then seeing it warm up the rest of the day. Well see the sun peaking from behind the clouds with our south bay temperatures in the upper 70s to low 80s. As the clouds move in, its going to keep it cooler in a few spots. We also see this cold front dipping in from the Pacific Northwest and will bring in a chance of spotty showers, going throughout the day, looking at partly to mostly cloudy skies. This is what the radar could look like at 10 00 tonight, especially in parts of the north bay, not everyone is going to see the rain but we could start with wet roads tomorrow morning as the system drops a few hundredths of an inch of rain. Well see spotty Early Morning showers, clearing out the rest of the day, highs inland in the 70s. We have more 70s in the forecast but it warms up next week, going back to summer to start the new work week. Mid 80s inland with San Francisco going from the mid 60s to the lower 70s. Youre tracking a problem on the san mateo bridge. Yes. A potential problem for your drive. Eastbound light.

Its 5 22 in just a second here, watch the clock change and a smooth drive the crash still over there. 680 not a problem for the transition. 242, that transition, a distraction by a crash there. We have the metering lights on on the tollway. We are looking back at 30 years since loma prieta earthquake. As anyone who lived through it will tell you it left parts of the bay area in sham blesham. We have a look at why the shaking had such a widespread impact. Youre watching today in the bay. We switched our detergent to one thats clean. And if you make the switch youll see what we mean. Tide purclean, because its made with plants. Tide purclean, gets stains out his pants. Tide purclean, it has nothing to hide. Its made with plants and has the cleaning strength of tide. The first plantbased detergent with the cleaning power of tide. 5 25 right now. Tomorrow officially marks 30 years since the loma prieta earthquake devastated the bay area. The quake had a 6. 9 magnitude and its intense waves destroyed buildings, collapsed bridges and killed dozens. And has experts quick to point out there is a difference between the magnitude and intensity. Today keri is breaking it down for us. When an earthquake strikes we want to know the magnitude which is a measure of the energy released at the source of the earthquake on the size me graph. That doesnt tell you how the sha shaking will affect the structures. The mercalli measure scale is a measure of the intensity of the shaking. It goes from a 1 to 13. The loma prieta earthquake was a 6. 9 magnitude and a 9 on the intensity scale. At a 9, damage is considerable, even in well designed framed structures and buildings are shifted off foundations. Some buildings and structures collapse. Which is what we witnessed with the sections of the freeway and the bay bridge. Numerous structures were shaken and destroyed, causing an estimated 10 billion in damage. Tomorrow ill go through a time line of the shaking traveling across the bay area and show how fast seismic waves move. We look forward to that. 5 26 right now.

Weve been on air since 4 00 this morning just to cover this breaking news and give you the latest updates. Im marcus washington. Right now we want to get to keri hall. Talk to us about the air quality. We are seeing some improvement, its moderate as we see a level of particulate matter in the 50 range. Were seeing it right at about 51 to 52, blowing off towards the west as we are seeing the winds shifting in from the west its blowing towards the east, i should say, with the wind speeds at about 7 Miles Per Hour. So fairly light winds as we start out. As you get ready to head out the door, youre seeing temperatures in the low 50s and heading to the low 60s later today. Well talk about this and whats ahead for the weekend. Mike youre getting a look at the baydge. No surprise we have this backup as you approach the toll plaza, but towards Treasure Island i got word about a minute ago about a big rig that may be involved in a crash, so ill check, and watch the speed patterns. Right now looking at the backup at the toll plaza but none across the span. Contra costa county moving pleasantly. We have one disabled vehicle on the san mateo bridge, there may be more to report for the span of west 92 but the slowing is not a big deal right now. Back to you. Thanks, mike. Getting back to the breaking news for you this morning and the aftermath of yesterdays massive inferno at the nustar oil refinery. Two storage tanks blew up sending huge plumes of smoke skyward for hours. The emergency forced the closure of 80 in both directions, all lanes are open again this morning but the smoke triggered a shelter in place for crockett and surrounding communities. By late last night, the air quality rebounded enough to allow authorities to lift the shelter in place. And last night firefighters tweeted schools would be open today. But this morning nbc bay area is confirming all schools in the john swett district are closed today. Thom jensen is live for us today. Whats the latest this morning, thom . Reporter good morning. And thanks for clearing that up. There was some confusion about the School Closures earlier. They are all closed now. We do know back on the scene here we can see a ladder truck down here this morning. Earlier they were blasting the tanks in that area with foam and water. Some of that foam blowing back up the hill here this morning as the winds that kari was talking about are blowing from the west to the east towards our backs here. Out of an abundance of caution the School Districts, john swett unified did decide to close all schools. They wanted enough time to make sure they had time to alert all parents and make sure the schools are environmentally safe for the parents. The closure affects about 1,400 students. At the height of the fire yesterday afternoon it was quite a scene out here, two explosions here at Nustar Energy at about 1 30 sent the top of one of the tanks hurling in the air and people on the ground said the ground shook violently. Then the inferno that caused a massive smoke cloud that caused the interstate to close from the afternoon into the evening, until about 10 00 last night, closed for about seven hours. A shelter in place ordered. People were told to turn off their air Conditioning Systems to make sure they kept the smoke out of their homes. And again to make sure that everything is safe on this scene, fire crews have been going around the tanks with flashlights. They have spotlights on them right now and dousing them with water and foam earlier today. We hope to get a better look as the sun comes up. Once again, John Swett Unified Schools, all of them are closed today. Were live in crockett, thom jensen, today in the bay.

Brake lights here, a disabled vehicle, i believe a flat tire being repaired in the service area here off to the left. And off to the right a second vehicle there. We have two vehicles on the highway. Now as we look at the map we dont see a lot of slowing on the sensors, but more traffic flow. The dunn barton bridge clear. South bay, peninsula all look great. The only other issue is the bay bridge where we heard about the crash. As we look live, we see the traffic flows smoothly into the tunnel. Thats good. Thats great. Creeping up on the weekend. Not yet but were halfway there. Closer than we were yesterday. Yes, were making plans already. Its going to be a nice weekend. Cool temperatures reaching into the low 70s inland, upper 60s by the bay and the coast at 65 degrees. It will be slightly warmer on sunday, reaching close to 80 degrees inland. 75 for the bay.

President trump has sent our Vice President to turkey to try to undo some of the damage done by americas withdrawal from syria. But the president of turkey this morning said he wont meet with Vice President pence. He told a reporter from britains sky news, his government would welcome pences visit but each member of the delegation would be met by their turkish counterpart adding when trump comes i will talk to him. The turks are attacking our allies, the kurds in syria, they fought with us against isis and now they are under attack. Its what diplomats and u. S. Military officers said would happen if President Trump ordered the withdrawal of u. S. Troops. Now the white house is trying to undo some of the repercussions of the decision to leave. Well be leaving as quickly as possible to travel to the region. The United States of america not going to tolerate turkeys invasion of syria any further. Not going to tolerate is pretty firm language. Not much room for misunderstanding, dont attack the kurds except the turks got a different message from President Trump, not just the phone call, but theyre reading his tweets, kurds and turkey have been fighting for years, turkey considers the kurds are the worst terrorists of all. Let them fight. Other news shows the economic, if it holds, the president will win the next election. President trump tweeted looks good to me. Other news, the democts say they will not take a full house vote to start an impeachment theyre satisfied with what they have now. And Rudy Giuliani has been subpoenaed and said he wont cooperate claiming the kurnt inquiry is illegitimate, unautopu unconstitutional and baseless. The wall street journal said hes being investigated by the most powerful u. S. Attorney in the southern district. He used to be the u. S. Attorney for the southern district. Were watching everything in washington, particularly whats happening with the turks this morning and Vice President pence. You can follow me on twitter. All week long were looking back at 30 years since the loma prieta earthquake. Seismologists predict theres a seven in ten chance another major earthquake could strike the bay area within the next couple decades. One of the areas of concern is the hayward fault. Sharon takes us to afremont whee the fault is shaping the landscape. Number one question, is this real . Yes, this fault or crack in the foundation is real. Reporter the hayward fault is unique in that its constantly creeping. Im slowly moving to the north. Reporter while our Camera Position is creeping to the south at 5 millimeters a year, over time you get cracks in the concrete and compression nols like this one. An area that gets trapped between the fault and so it gets moved upward. Reporter unfortunately the fault is more than a curiosity. Imagine the people who live in these areas. Reporter it runs up the east bay. The last major earthquake was back in 1868. The fault produces a major event every 140 years, which means we are over due by more than a decade. Seismologists predict theres a 33 chance it will produce a magnitude 6. 7 between now and 2043. It has cracked. Dr. Angela katina is worried about what will happen to the flat parts of the east bay where the soil is unstable. It it would be like walking along jello or quick sand that you would see in old movies. Reporter which brings us back to the crack that runs under old city hall. It was discovered in 1972, but the city decided not to fix it instead leave it as a reminder. We have to live around it, be more aware of it and prepared for an event when it will occur. If youd like to look at that, that is in fremont central park, open to the public. Its pretty fascinating there. This week weve all been talking about where we were when loma prieta struck 30 years ago. For a lot of people its hard to believe its been that long. True. When Something Like that happens, its vivid in your mind and you remind it like yesterday. David said he was living in santa clara at the time and went home on the freeway just to learn that it had collapsed. They were so spooked they didnt go to work for three days. Thats part of the quote. You can share what you were doing, what happened and see other peoples stories on my page at kari hall weather on facebook and twitter. This morning, the day before the 30 year anniversary, with clouds moving in, and hopefully all quiet conditions today. Our temperatures are chilly, in the upper 30s in santa rosa, so a cool start there. We have 50s in San Francisco. 44 in palo alto as you get ready to head out the door and 50 in san jose. The seven day forecast is up at the bottom of the screen showing rain in the forecast for tomorrow. Were going to see this cluster of clouds moving in out ahead of the system dipping in from the north. That will bring in spotty showers for the north bay starting tonight. As we go hour by hour we look at the time line, 4 00 its dry. Then we start to see a chance of showers moving in by 10 00 to 10 30 tonight for parts of the north bay. Not everyone will see the rain but we can see showers creating wet roads in Half Moon Bay during the overnight hours. It looks like by 5 00, 6 00, its all clearing out and the rest of the day tomorrow will be mostly clear. But during that time were looking at some trace amounts of rain, maybe a few hundredths of an inch as it moves through. And well see Cool Temperatures further to the north on saturday we could see another chance but most of us seeing a mix of sun and clouds and highs in the low 70s. Warming up next week with mid 80s inland. Youre seeing a lot of slowing on the san mateo bridge . Yes. We saw the tow truck arrive at the flat tire repair. Assistance and flashing lights and more distraction as the tow truck pulled into the service area i saw it ripple back down towards us, the slow down for the flat section. The other vehicle may have cleared from the other shoulder. I saw some lane shifting as well. Thats adding to more drive time. Just a bit more. But as we look at the sensors this is looking good with the build off, but not a major problem. Again if you want to avoid any of that activity, weve been watching, take the dunbarton bridge to the south there. The south bay, peninsula just waking up to your commute, a great easy drive. Trivalley the same here. Highway 4, theres a crash on the shoulder, its a distraction, not a big problem. In towards the maze, Alameda County moves smoothly. Theres the backup at the bay bridge toll plaza, the earlier crash is clear and i80 as we talked about its open again, crockett, rodeo, and hercules.
