Independent mostly, taking over Power Distribution from pg e and setting up its own microgrids to power the population. How we can ensure distribution of local generation and storage of energy. Reporter liccardo admits it would be an expensive undertaeking, one that would first have to pass public opinion. I think its a great idea. Reporter would you be willing to pay more in taxes . Yeah. Reporter its not without precedence. Nearby santa clara has had its own utility for more than 120 years. Last weeks power outage was really related to the distribution lines. So, we own, maintain, and operate our own distribution. So, we were not affected by what pg e was doing. Reporter something san jose would like to say in the future. Mayor liccardo says he will present the plan next wednesday but pg e says south bay facilities are not for sale. Scott budman, nbc bay area news. In ma ryme county, a close call here, this brush fire burned up to the edge of the highway 37 this afternoon. This is near lakeville and seres point. The chp did block all lanes of 37 and diverted traffic to 121. That fire is out and 37 has reopened. 5 04 p. M. 30 years ago today the loma prieta earthquake shook the bay area. People who lived through it remember exactly where they were. It was 15 seconds theyll never forget. You can remember this video, once the shaking stopped, the devastation was unbelievable. So many to mourn as well. The earthquake killed 63 people, nearly 4,000 people hurt. Damage costs approached 10 billion. One of the hardest areas, the Marina District in San Francisco, residents there paused to remember the earthquake. San Francisco Mayor was there marking the moment the quake struck about an hour ago. Chrissy smith joins us. The quake was 30 years ago but its a day people there will never forget. Reporter thats right. And this commemoration at the marina green just wrapped up. It was bigger than usual. Thats because it has been 30 years. The people we have spoke with today who were here that day, they cant believe its been that long because they remember all the details, the shaking, the devastation, and how the city pulled together. Mayor london breed rang the bell at 5 04, the moment the earthquake slammed the bay area. We honor the men and women of the San Francisco police and Fire Department. Reporter she spoke at the marina green near gails home. This was an electric clock on my old oven. Reporter she holds on to the clock that stopped 30 years ago when she prepared to watch the world series. You think oh, my god, whats happening . Reporter when the shaking stopped, they checked their home and neighbors. The area was devastated. But they knew of heroic efforts to put out fires and the time that followed, neighbors came together. Neighbors realized how scared we were and that we didnt even know how to turn off our gas. Reporter she kept a scrapbook of photos. The group went down to the Fire Department, said would you please train civilians and she chose basic things we could do in the next earthquake. All of a sudden theres red lights in front of us. Reporter rachel delay attended the ceremony today. She had just pass thermodyamed bridge not knowing part of the bridge collapsed. Since that time were told more than 30,000 people have been trained in San Francisco and Emergency Managers say its important to keep reminding people of the Lessons Learned after loma prieta because as the years go by more people move into the city who werent here at the time. Reporting live in San Francisco, christie smith, nbc bay area news. So much focus in the bay area, but the epicenter was near santa cruz. Tonight a moment of silence in santa cruz at 5 04 p. M. Ment it changed that city radically. Downtowns historic pacific garden mall was levelled and across the county about 4,000 people could not stay in their homes on this night and subsequent nights. Power was out for days and much of the area had no water. Rebuilding santa cruz continues all these years later. Theres also concern for inmates. Today mayor breed said all inmates will be moved out of San Franciscos jail within two years because its not earthquake safe. Mayor breed called it an inhumane facility. The new building with house court, the d. A. s office, and rehab programs. Inmates will move by 2021. Just a couple years from now. Where theyll go hasnt been determined yet. The inmates could be moved out of the county to neighboring jails. San Francisco Mayor breed joins students for the great california shake out earthquake drill earlier today. Stop, drop, and cover. On this anniversary, the mayor and city officials were at rosa parks elementary school. They practiced what to do when the earth shakes. Mayor breed explained the steps to ensuring bildsings are more safe. So, what happens when the next big one strikes . Theres a new app. The first of its kind in the nation just released today. And it could give you a heads up of up to 20 seconds. Were going to tell you about it at 6 30. Our other headlines tonight, a planned tribute to maya angelou in San Francisco is delayed. The civil rights activist spent her early years in the city. She went to Washington High School and worked as awe streetcar con duductor. Ali wolf joins us in San Francisco. Reporter raj, the city wants to put that tribute to maya angelou in front of the main library abehind me. We spoke to the artist. She was selected to create this art piece only to be rejected. Now shes frustrating saying her time was wasted and says the expectations were not clear. Lava thomas spent months planning and designing this 9 foot bronze monument. Its shaped like a book featuring a portrait of maya angelou and a quote. If someone has courage, nothing can dim the light that shines within. Reporter last night erect a piece of art at the citys main library paying tribute to the author, poet, and civil rights activist. A panel selected thomas. This is another view. Reporter she was honored. There arent have many public monuments created by women, let alone monuments to women. Reporter but the feeling didnt last long. The Arts Commission rejected her piece because its not a traditional sculpture. It was my understanding that we had full reign to interpret what a monument could be, a contemporary monument. Reporter thomas calls the rejection unbelievable. Its ridiculous to waste my time when im not given explicit instructions. Reporter supervisor katherine stephanie sponsored the ordinance. The legislation called for a significant figurative representation. And the only fairway to move forward is to give all the artists a chance to meet the legislative intent by issuing new rsp with clear criteria. So, the city will be starting over accepting new proposals from artists. Lava thomas tells us she will not be resubmitting hers. Ali, thank you. Robin williams has been watching over a stretch of Market Street for more than a year but thats about to change. This mural prominently featuring his ice blue eyes will be gone. The building is being torn down. Still to come new details on a south bay stand off involving a ups truck, what new video is revealing about the moment before officers one fir also not prepared for this emergency. We investigate the fire at that fuel Storage Facility in contra costa county. Mostly clear in san jose right now but ill have details on when clouder could return. That forecast coming up in about eight minutes. I was in Candlestick Park in San Francisco preparing to announce game three of the world series. We had opened up the telecast and we all knew what took place at that point, the loma prieta earthquake and how it shook that ball park. Thats a night that nobody who was in candlestick in San Francisco will ever forget. It was tense drama that played out on valentines day and on live tv. A ups driver carjacked in san jose and that led to high speed chase and Police Shooting and killing. Today the santa clara District Attorney released police video of that chase from start to finish. The d. A. Made this video public that calls the shooting justified. Deputies say the ups driver saved the day when he deliberately drove over a spike strip. When the truck stopped, the stand off became more tense. The next thing in my head is where are the suspects. Now im concerned theyre going to open up this back door and start shooting at us. He eventually ran from the truck toward a build being the shotgun in his hand. A San Jose Police officer shot and killed him. It is not just a clean up, but its an investigation. Federal, state, and local officials remain on scene trying to determine what led to tuesdays fire and explosion there in contra costa county. Things look much different today at the Nustar Energy facility. Much of the foam used to put out that fire has been pumped out. Nustar says its still assessing damage. Cal oeshia is ordering tanks and pipes. To determine what happened and could it happen again and ensure before the shutdown order is lifted that Nustar Energy can operate safely. Also happening now, the ocke Fire Department is staying on top of the hotspots around the plant. Remember this runs right along interstate 80. That plant remains sunday shut down this evening. Jackso Jaxon Van Derbeken has been looking into the nustar tank farm and learned that Staff Members fled after the fire erupted without turning on the automated Fire Suppression system. Heres what else jaxson found out about that incident. Reporter nbc bay area Investigative Unit broke the story that authorities served a search warrant on the facility yesterday. We still dont know how the fire first started, but now weve learned what happened in the critical moments just after two tanks erupted in flames. Clearly there was a problem here. Ive been through enough industrial accidents to know. Reporter county supervisor john joy says nustar wasnt prepared. Apparently the nustar personnel that were on scene couldnt immediately identify what kind of product was in the particular tank. Reporter he says that knowledge is critical. The facility should know pretty immediately what is in that tank. And that of course helps the firefighter in fighting that as quickly and safely as possible. Reporter joya says First Responders couldnt get in right away because the front gate was locked. The five people working at the tank farm had left without turning on theout mated Fire Suppression system. Contra costa fire officials confirmed that frighters did face those challenges but did not want to go into detail in light of the pending investigation. The Investigative Unit has found documents showing a troubled history with this facility both before and after nustar acquired them in 2004. Paid a total of 2 1 2 Million Dollar in fines and penalties for bypassing equipment that captures ozone chemicals. Documents indicate managers lied about meeting air quality rules all between 2003 and 2006. Nustar told us today that afteracquired, it discovered operational infractions which had been established under the previous own shership. It said it improved procedures, improved training, and changed management. But the company didnt answer questions about how workers handled the fire tuesday. Just a few minutes ago nustar emailed us acknowledging some of the initial confusion about which tanks were on fire. They say they cleared it up quickly. Nustar says its workers didnt turn on the Fire Suppression system because the intense flames blocked those workers from reaching it. New hope tonight for teacher who typically priced out of Silicon Valley housing market. Facebook kicked in 25 million today to build Affordable Housing for educators.

Pine and ragweed the predominant allergens. Well let you know how long that sticks around in 25 minutes. See you soon. Thank you so much jeff. Up next the mission from the white house, the reason a top democrat leading the impeachment inquiry say things have gone from very bad to much worse. Tonight President Trumps chief of staff is trying to walk back his bombshell admission today that the separation withheld military aid from ukraine in exchange for an investigation. Mick mulvaney now insists reporters misconstrued his reports today. They say he admitted aid was held up because President Trump wanted the country to investigate. We do that all the time with foreign policy. Get over it. Theres going to be political influence in foreign policy. Mulvaney insisted investigating the bidens was not part of the request contradicting with President Trump had already admitted. Also today President Trumps ambassador othe European Union testified putting President Trump and Rudy Giuliani at the center of the controversy. Then theres this, President Trump praised the fiveday cease fire. It will temporarily halt the bloodshed that began after the president started pulling out of the u. S. Some are calling this the second betrayal of the kurds. Its a victory for turkey which called the agreement exactly what it happened. Mitt romney took to the Senate Floor Today to call this a blood stain on american history. Up next at 3 06, warning you before the earthquake strikes. The app you want to download before the next wig bun. You can see the scoreboard just do this. We know the story about the 1989 world series between the giants and as, but did you know his story, the worker who showed up for his first day on the job when the earthquake struck . There are those who will say that youre too fat. Too skinny. Too hard. Too soft. Too old. Too much. Too unexpected. Too limited. And to them we say too bad. Because at kaiser permanente, we believe that everyone deserves the right to thrive. Right now at 6 30 when the next big ones strikes, californians who download a free app will get a warning on their phones to duck and cover. The app is called my shake, and Governor Newsom wants you to download it now. Those extra seconds of warning could save lives and prevent injuries. But how reliable and accurate is the app . Melissa colorado joins us with more details. You guys have downloaded it. I have downloaded it. More than half a million californians have downloaded it. Si seismologists say had this Early Detection system been in place 30 years ago, people in downtown San Francisco would have got the warning of at least 15 seconds to drop, cover, and hold on. Earthquake, drop, cover, hold on. That is the alert coming from your phone that California Governor Gavin Newsom says will save lives when the next big one strikes. We are making a big leap forward in terms of focusing on prevention. Reporter the my shake app is the most expansive Early Warning system in the country. Heres how it works, hundreds of sensors positioned across the state will detect underground movement from an earthquake. Those sensors send data to computers whos job it is to figure out how strong the quake will be. That triggers the app to send out alert to people who will feel the most powerful shaking. This could be as much as 20 seconds of Early Warning. Thats not an insignificant amount of time. Reporter the heads up will depend on how close you are to the earthquakes epicenter. The farther away you are, the more advanced notice youll get. The app will deliver notifications for earthquakes stronger than 4. 5. She remembers the confusion and fear she felt. We didnt know what was happening. There werent cell phones. Reporter today one of the best tools is just one swipe away. In the moment you didnt know what to do. Reporter and heres one key thing to remember, users need to allow the app to access your location at all times. That allows the app to give you the best and most accurate warning. Thats the latest in emoriville. Im melissa colorado. How do you get the my shake app . Just go to the the store and download it. Youre looking at screen grabs from android and apple. All you have to do is type in my shake in the search bar. It will have a green icon and also include the words uc berkeley seismology. All week weve felt several earthquakes. Its been a time teaching moment for a lot of us. Jeff raniere takes a look at the shaking and the answers. Is there a season for earthquakes . Is it more this time of year . Believe it or not we still do often get that question so were going to take a look at that as well. Lets set it up with monday what happened. We had a 4. 5 earthquake. It lasted 15 to 20 seconds from the report. This happened real close to the concord green valley fault. Then the next day on tuesday we had a 4. 7 right near hollister on a creeping section of the san andreas fault. Even though this happened in close proximity of time and distance, they are not related to each other. It is more of a coincidence. Lets get a closer look at the bay area and the activity that woke a lot of people up and gave them a stronger jolt than they have felt in decades in this location right here in Pleasant Hill. We had at least 30 after shocks. The largest was a 3. 4 at 7 11 on tuesday. No activity today. And even though this was close to the concord green valley fault, the usgs is researching what could be a new fault going through the Pleasant Hill area. No new activity today. We will continue to monitor that. What about the question of earthquake weather earthquake seasons . We do see people ask the about this often. You might be thinking why would anybody think that. Do earthquakes happen when its hot . Or when theres a drought or a along with wild fires . The answer absolutely positively is no. No earthquake weather, no earthquake seasons at all. Weve just got to remember to drop, cover, and hold and be prepared. Well be back with the Weather Forecast in 20 minutes. Debunking those myths. The First Responders had a different meaning 30 years ago. Today oakland held a ceremony at cypress freeway Memorial Park where victims were remembered. Malice aforethougny of the c to do extra cations do, Emergency Rescue work. It was nice to have all that support and all of that help. This is picture and video of the freeway collapsing. Over at Candlestick Park across the bay it was game three of the world series between the as and clients and people will never forget that moment. We were all watching the game. That excitement turned into fear and shock. Heres joe. You just sort of relive it in yourind. I just remember every detail. Reporter for any bay area sports fan, the remains of Candlestick Park are hallowed ground. It had an indelible progression for me. Dirt the dirt where home base sat. And memories of the world series first pitch was even thrown. E so, i came outside. Bay bridge did collapse. Oh, my goodness. We all bailed out of there. Lights all went out. We knew instantly that it was an earthquake. Reporter 30 years havent erased a single detail of that night for Operations Director george costa. On october 17th, 1989 he was ten months on the job as the giants and the as squared off for game one of the world series when the stands began to shake at 5 04 p. M. 31 minutes before first pitch. We felt the grab of the earthquake kind of pulling on the field. Reporter inside joints oracle park, an exhibit pays homage to that night. This is a picture that was taken frozen in time. Reporter thats costa with his sleeves rolled up gathering on the field with baseball and emergency officials to figure out what to do. When the earthquake happened, we had no power. The p. A. System was not backed up to emergency power, and the scoreboard was not backed up to emergency power. Reporter with no way to communicate to the crowd, a Police Cruiser was tapped for the task. He drove that car around and made the announcement that the game was not going to be played. You could see that scoreboard just do this. Reporter giants grounds keeper stan sprinkles remembers several large cracks in the stadium as expansion joints rolled with the quake. It never gave. It rolled with the punches as they say. It was an eerie call. Reporter in the stands al and his son were among the thousands of fans who calmly filed out of the stadium. Its a life event that never goes away. Reporter three decades later never goes away. Reporter the earthquake inspired change throughout the sports world. Afterwards, stadiums required back up generators for lights, scoreboards, and public address systems. Then you started having Emergency Preparedness plans. They started doing table top exercises. Reporter ten days after the quake, the stadium was repaired and the world series played on, but baseball is probably not the part most will remember. All of us were there that night will never forget where we were, what happened. Reporter joe rah sa doe, jr. , nbc bay area news. Our emmy awarding winning documentary series bay area revelations chronicled the day the earthquake hit. We are reairing saturday at 4 00 p. M. One of the most respected and well noknown members of congress has died. Elijah cummings was the son of sharecroppers. He fought for civil rights in his ohm town of baltimore, first elected to the house of representatives in 1996. He most recently served as the chairman of the House Oversight and Reform Committee where he was a figure in President Trumps impeachment inquiry. He passed away early this morning after undergoing a medical procedure. Marcus washington spent a lot of time with congressman cummings. The picture youre looking at now was congressman cummings and myself. This was a day after the death of in baltimore. He said i want to get the word out to people to stop rioting, stop looting. He remembered the riots of baltimore in 1968 after the beth of dr. Martin luther king and he did not want to see that repeat itself in the city of baltimore. He loved his city.

Day nine of the insanity clara county worker strike. Employees were picketing in san jose. You can see them there. The county says its laying out what it calls the best and final contract offer. Theres no additional pay raise from the previous proposal which is 3 raise over five years. No word on when the Union Members will vote on the latest proposal.

Flavors, mango, fruit, and cucumber wont be sold in the u. S. Due to pending fda review. The ceo says the company must focus on earning the trust of society and work to combat underage vaping. This long week is almost coming to an end with a sunny weekend. You were right. You said theres going to be wind kicking up and aler j jis. Good. I like to be right. Its bad. Its kind of like spiked up a little bit here with moderate pollen across the bay area. We had a little bit of activity this morning, trace amounts to. 03 of an inch but dried out. Ill show you when clouds move back in in a few minutes. Were busting myths about who pays for earthquake damage. Are you covered with had the next big one hits . Im chris chmura, nbc bay area responds next. My name is frank jordan. I was the mayor of San Francisco in the 90s. I was the police chief in the 80s and i was the police chi during the 1989 loma prieta earthquake in San Francisco. At 5 04 when the earthquake hit i was in Candlestick Park in uniform and i was just walking on to the field to go over to talk to baseball commissioner faye vcent about some of the Security Issues we were working on together at that time. And i felt the earthquake as i was walking across the groons t grass on the playing field. Interesting to hear from him. Hes been very helpful for us throughout the week reliving all the memories. At this point 30 years ago, we were just realizing the severity of what happened. Tonight were talking about the Homeowners Insurance. Are you covered or will federal aid help you rebuild . No on both counts. Chris chmura is here to tell about the myths. Most Homeowners Insurance policies did cover during loma prieta but all that changed after the 1994 northridge earthquake in l. A. Damage was in the billions so Insurance Companies dropped coverage. Earthquake coverage is now optional and costs you extra. You might think youre still okay because the federal government will bail you out, right . Afraid not. The ceo tells us that is not how it works. Fema makes it not used to rebuild hope. So, living on hope that the government is going to come in and rebuild homes is false hope and dangerous. If youre thinking about revising your back up plan, you can shop now for earthquake insurance with the california earthquake authority. It has this tool right here calculated on its website to help you estimate how much youll pay and what coverage youll get for your money. We made it easy for you to find it on our website.
