Larger earthquake at some point in the future. It hit you from the back, and when you looked up you saw the truck doing that. Experts say smaller aftershocks are likely over the next few days. You may have actually been jolted by the shake alert this morning. Right around 9 30, the my shake app sounded an earthquake alarm on tens of thousands of smart phones across the bay area, but turns out the warning was not very accurate. We spoke with people that run the app and asked them why the initial of the quake was so far off the mark. The quake rattled phones across northern california, but the message attached said a larger earthquake was to hit. It was it appears to be a much bigger earthquake. He says they optimize for safety, and when the initial shaking registers higher on the app, it alerts people in a wider geographic range. The first seismic station that really sensed the earthquake was going on was very close to the epicenter so it felt a lot of shaking, essentially the punch of the earthquake hit the seismic station and it appeared to be much bigger than it really was. This all happened within about 20 seconds. The goal of the phone alert is to give people further from the epicenter a few seconds warning that shaking is coming, but those that we spoke to today say they saw mixed results. We did get the warning on the phone, there was an earthquake and thats when i saw how big it was, 4. 2, 4. 3, and it didnt make it better but more scary. Scientists involved in the quake alert said for the most part the app worked even if in the name of safety it sent out inaccurate information a little too quickly. When we create the initial estimate, it comes in high. We did have the estimate at 5. 2 to 5. 7, and that was a little high. They say the alert was likely heard by about 500,000 people. Scott budman, nbc bay area needs. I got mine this morning. Tomorrow another shake alert will go off on your phone, but its just a drill. October 19th is International Shakeout day and it falls on the third thursday of every october and encourages californians to practice what they would do in the event of a major earth quake. The test will go out via the app, 10 19 tomorrow morning. Our coverage continues on nbcbayarea. Com quakes. Plus, get tips on how to keep your family safe. Taking you outside on this wednesday evening. What do we call that, jeff . The golden hour. We have heat and a spare the air alert coming tomorrow. What do we expect in the next 24 hours . Its not something so uncommon to get this hot in october, but we did set one record in santa rosa, 93. The old record was 92 set back in 2020. Concord up to 88, and look at San Francisco, 84. The record that still stands was 88 and that was back in 1933. We did get close to that. Here as we head through tomorrow, through 11 00 p. M. , temperatures 85 to 95 degrees. I think the most important zone is near the bay. San francisco, san mateo, and so take it easy for tomorrow. Its going to be the last day in my 7day forecast that will be this hot. For tomorrow morning we started off in the 60s, and by the afternoon low 90s, and at 2 00 p. M. , getting hotter than that once we hit the peak of the heat tomorrow afternoon. On the coast, 60s. Look at this, low 80s in half moon bay. We will talk more about the rough surf out at the coastline. Details coming up on that later in the show. The controversial request from pg e. Pg e wants to raise rates by double digits to help pay for wildfire safety improvements. Today pg e made its case for that rate hike in front of state regulators. Today pg e laying out their argument for raising the average customers monthly bill by 22 , and Officials Say not only does the company need to adjust for inflation and the cost of natural gas, but they need to reduce risks in gas and electric operations and that includes placing 2,100 miles of lines underground. Pg e has evolved from reacting and responding to events, and we are better than that now. You need us to be. The California PublicUtilities Commission would need to approve it and heard the arguments from the company today. We need to invest in programs and tools to ensure we can continue to support our evolving Risk Management practices and now is not the time to stop investing in safety. While pg es plan calls for raising rates by 22 a month, the cpuc countered with a proposal that would include only a 12 increase. The proposal could equal 50 more a month for the average bill, and the councils proposal, 28 a month. The regulators plan approved some under grounding, but critics say its good pg e is focussing on safety, but also say a 22 hike in rates is just too much to ask for. Its very easy to have grand ideas and make proclamations when you are spending somebody elses money. For far too long rate payers have been looked at as an endless piggy bank from both the state and the utilities. The state Public Utilities commission could make a decision at its next meeting on november 2nd. Ian cole, nbc bay area news. President biden is making his way back to the u. S. After a quick trip to israel where he announced 100 million in new u. S. Funding and humanitarian aid for the gaza strip and the west bank. The president is set to address the nation tomorrow night as tensions rise across the globe. Those are protesters on capitol hill calling for a ceasefire in gaza. They filled the rotunda in the congressional building. Some were detained by Capitol Police. Not clear if anybody will face charges. Here at home, hundreds of High Schoolers around the bay area walked out of class joining thousands of students across the nation demanding a ceasefire between israel and hamas. Video from sky ranger right now at Berkeley High. Across the bay in San Francisco, another student protest. Marianne favro was there during that demonstration. Reporter at lowell high in San Francisco, about 150 students briefly walked out of class to show their support and concern for people in gaza today. This is a symbol of our youth voices coming together to stand against what has been going on to palestinian citizens for 75 years. For some who walked out today this protest is personal because they have family members living in gaza. I do not know who is dead in my family right now. They are hoping other students will see it as a way to get involved and save lives. Our call to action, we want a ceasefire and all innocent civilians to be taken care of now. No innocent people should be dying. Students at Berkeley High and at least six other bay area high schools also walked out of class as what is being called a National Student day of action to support gaza. On the steps of San Francisco city hall, leaders with the arab resource and organizing center, which helped organize todays student walkout, also shared a call to action. We are calling on our local officials as well as the federal government to do what it can to demand an immediate ceasefire to this war, and to demand the end to the genocide of the palestinian people. San francisco supervisors father lives in israel, and she was part of the demonstration saying her mess sing simple, the violence must stop. This is what the beginning of genocide looks like. Having family members survive the camps during the holocaust, i have always and will always fight against genocide. Not everybody was supportive of todays protest, with some saying they ignore the Terrorists Attack by hamas that sparked the most recent round of violence, and the students say the focus now needs to be on halting the violence to protect the innocent families caught in the middle.
