Reporter if google loses it could cost them more than 1 billion. The trial continues through next week. In mountain view, maria medina, kpix 5. 4 35. Its been beautiful for days. Yesterday we tied some records. It wasnt quite as warm. By the end of the day the ridge weakened. Heres a view of the golden gate bridge. There was a haze yesterday afternoon and this morning. Ill show you the visibility map. We are seeing visibility impacted. Not much fog. The view of San Francisco at this hour is gorgeous. Its early. Temperatures are not that cool. We are in the 50s already for oakland and concord. 42 in livermore. So cooler that but San Francisco 56 degrees at this hour. Santa rosa in the 40s, san jose also in the 40s. So heres that visibility map. The fog isnt forming in the south bay. Livermore visibility down to 4 as some of the fog from the Central Valley also works its way into some of our valley locations. Petaluma down to 3mile visibility. So it shouldnt impact your commute too much. But as we get closer to the coldest part of the day, thats when you see the fog coming in. Fog in the Central Valleys as the valley fog builds in the morning hours. But most of our areas still under this ridge of High Pressure. But you can see a few more clouds trying to work in towards San Francisco. And thats a sign of this High Pressure ridge thats weakening. So whats it mean . It means less of an offshore wind. Its not going to be as intense. Yesterday we had a few areas of gusty conditions across the hills along the Oakland Hills and to the north. But today, very calm conditions. Still overall a northeast wind thats coming in. But its very, very light. Thats why that fog will be allowed to kind of settle into the valley spots. But its also why we are not going to be as warm. So that offshore wind always brings us more heating and temperatures will be cooler than yesterday. Right now, we are going to take it back out to that accident we are tracking along 580. All our super commuters out there, westbound 580 a crash involving a couple of cars in the Center Divide. They are just waiting on some tow trucks to arrive so speeds could be sluggish a little earlier this morning compared to what youre used to along that stretch. This is just past first street. So your ride right now as far as your travel times between 205 and 680, remains in the green 25 minutes. And in oakland excuse me, we are tracking overnight roadwork as you are making your way along northbound 880 between whipple and tennyson so heading into hayward you may see some lanes that are closed finishing by 5 a. M. We did have an earlier accident blocking two lanes northbound 880 at high street. It was cleared. We are seeing some slowdowns in the southbound direction. Caltrans has some overnight roadwork going on through that stretch. And an earlier accident hitand run crash with a vehicle in lanes. This is westbound 24 approaching 580. Speeds remain in the green. Hats a check of your traffic; over to you. A jury has given thousands of dollars to a convicted murderer because of a sex scandal at san quentin state prison. Kpix 5s veronica de la cruz explains this unusual case. Reporter in a wing in san quentin a woman took advantage of her power and position. A convicted murderer says back in 2010, for a threemonth period, prison employee coerced me into being her sex slave. It included coerced acts of sexual intercourse. Reporter the lawyers say an instructor in the prisons Training Program promised cordova favors for sex that happened in her office at the prison. She used her position of power as well as quid pro quo offers of favorable treatment and promises to get him an attorney and help him get out of jail. Reporter when cordoba tried to break it off, she retaliated, firing him from his job as her clerk and accusing him of disciplinary violations that landed him in solitary confinement for nine months. It was a humiliating experience. He felt powerless and alone and worst of all he felt like there was nobody that he could talk to about this. Reporter pulido has repeatedly denied the allegations but a federal jury found in favor of the prisoner awarding him 65,000 in compensatory and punitive damages. When he got the verdict, he could not have looked happier. Reporter pulido is now working at Napa State Hospital and cordoba is in a prison in soledad but his attorneys say the lesson is clear. All people have the right to be free from sexual abuse. That includes women, that includes men, and that doesnt change just because somebody is incarcerated. Reporter veronica de la cruz, kpix 5. Pulidos attorney didnt return our calls and it isnt clear who will pay the award. Department of corrections says it takes all Sexual Harassment complaints seriously. Time now 4 41. A thief is blamed for major flooding at a bay area dmv that will keep its facility closed for days. What police say they were after. [ music ] chopper five captured images of emergency vehicles, in Castro Valley yesterday. Crews were looking for a crash scene. But never found one. A false alarm in alameda county. These images caught emergency vehicles in Castro Valley yesterday. A plane crash scene was never found. It appears an experimental aircraft landed in the hills then took off again.

Kpix 5s devin fehely shows us whats happening in big sur. Reporter fog fell on the big sur coast wednesday obscuring a light show of other worldly beauty. The right combination of conditions came together where it just created this spectacle of bioluminescence. Reporter a big word describing the ability of millions and millions of microscopic Sea Creatures to create a living light show like this one in big sur which over the past month has drawn sightseers and photographers to the coast. I think its something we all have to, like, come see in person. Its really beautiful. You dont see it every day especially around here. Reporter when the creatures are here in great numbers as they are now, the ocean at night is painted in hues of neon blue and green. In some cases, its for mating, find a suitable mate. In a lot of cases its just to scare off a predator. Reporter this researcher says the creatures responsible for these nighttime displays typically dont produce light during the day. And you wouldnt be able to see it anyway, he says, because it would be overpowered by the sun. But he says to enjoy the display while it lasts because conditions change quickly scattering or killing the creatures that produce the show as fleeting as it is beautiful. Its not continuously happening. They have to be stimulated. So you will see light in breaking waves during the water splashing onshore, a dolphin or boat swimming through will stimulate them to make the light. Reporter these creatures are always here but its only when they are here in great numbers and concentrations that you can see this at night and there is no way to know for sure exactly how long this will last because if conditions change, if a storm came through, it could scatter the creatures and you wouldnt get the same effect each night as we have for the last month or so. In big sur, devin fehely, kpix 5. Pretty cool. Its so beautiful to see that. And a huge reason why its happening is because of this ridge of High Pressure. Its 70s outside and we get the cool show on the coast so yes, the weather is nice. Nice Clear Conditions and no patchy fog there. But yes, well be under this ridge of High Pressure but it is actually weakening. We are starting to see the effects of that in the form of fog. Yesterday windier. Temperatures in the 50s already for oakland and concord. Not much cooling overnight. Livermore 42. A bit cooler there and santa rosa cooler at 45. Visibility at oakland, 8mile visibility. We have seen it worse. Central valley more fog. Less offshore flow, it will be light winds today. And then we are also starting to see a little more cloud coverage coming through at the coast along californias coast just to the north of us. So most likely clear skies throughout the day today and tomorrow but that will start to change a little bit as this weakens more. Hitches 72 for San Francisco. 64 for oakland. 75 in redwood city. Temperatures mid to upper 70s for bay area neighborhoods. Santa rosa 76 degrees. So instead of the upper 70s we are less than that by just a couple of degrees so you probably wont necessarily feel that change. We are still 10 degrees above average. We should be at 60 degrees in San Francisco but we are at 72 so we are well above normal because of the ridge. Its not going anywhere yet. Well start to notice it weakening allowing this low just to the north of to us dip down on saturday into sunday. So when that happens, our temperatures will drop on saturday by about 10 degrees. And then those its going to start to move south and bring us a slight chance of rain for northern california, not necessarily for the bay area. We are not looking at rain chances for us. But just to the north. We could see light showers. Monday an increase in winds and our temperatures will be dropping even further down to the lower 60s. So your rainsnow futurecast still showing this High Pressure ridge taking hold of the west coast pretty much but then again by monday that chance of rain, chance of high elevations still going to slowly trickle down into california but again no chances of rain for us. We are going to stay dry unfortunately for the next several days and beyond valentines day so three things to remember. Warm through friday, cooler this weekend with our temperatures into the 60s and no widespread rain for at least another week. So yes, that sevenday outbreak shows mostly sunny skies cloud coverage on monday and 60s. Right now, we are tracking a few more cars joining the thursday morning commute. Over at the bay bridge toll plaza, take a look at that backup already developing. We are still in the green as far as our travel times go. The backup in the cash lanes is stretching beyond the grand overcrossing in some lanes. 10 minutes into San Francisco. No delays on 80 at powell. 580 approach moving at the limit. We had an earlier accident along highway 24 westbound. Heres a live look right near telegraph. You can see traffic moving along in both directions a okay. It looks like that crash may still have one lane blocked. They are waiting on a tow truck, as well. And if you are heading through oakland right now we are seeing some slowdowns southbound. Caltrans has at least one lane closed until about 6 00 this morning and thats between 23rd and 29th. So you will be tapping on the brakes as you make your way through that stretch. Looks like the earlier accident northbound 880 right at high street has cleared. Traffic moving at the limit in that northbound direction. Westbound 580 just past first street a couple of cars got into it over in the Center Divide not blocking lanes but as everyone is approaching the scene they slow down as they make their way past that accident there. So just be prepared for some slowdowns a little sooner than usual this morning. Hats a check of your traffic; over to you. Thank you. It is 4 51.

So nows the time to get more happy to help an injured sea lion. Who was found barely swimming in the bay. It showed up at San Franciscos aquatic park yesterday. The animal appeare Wildlife Rescue crews are trying to save a sea lion who showed up at aquatic park yesterday. He was suffering from two wounds on the head and body. The sea lion eventually got closer to shore and at one point yesterday we saw it try to beach flipping around apparently struggling to get onshore but finally gave up. It went out to deeper water in the bay. I seen a couple of injuries, one on the forehead and under belly and its bloated. Its not healthy. Workers from the Marine Mammal center are hoping that the animal will come up onshore so they can rescue it. Its unclear how it got hurt. Some researchers have some grim predictions of what a major earthquake could do to the bay area. As kpix 5s len ramirez reports, 200,000 homes could be destroyed and thats just for starters. Reporter the all that alta loma neighborhood was hit hard by an earlier earthquake. Several houses were oc off foundation. Reporter this man survived but many of his neighbors werent so lucky. Then, you know, the county came by and tagged the houses that werent safe to live in. There were several. Reporter now a new report says what happened during loma prieta would be a tiny fraction of the devastation to occur if a worst case 7. 8 quake hit on the San Andreas Fault on the peninsula. We are expecting about 200,000 houses to be destroyed and about 70,000 households displaced. Reporter by comparison, estimates of the number of homes damaged or destroyed by Hurricane Harvey range from 30,000 to 40,000. We dont actually have experience like this so we dont know the implications of where people would go and how the bay area would recover. Reporter a study was released and blames the bay areas aging Housing Stock as a major factor. Much of it was built prior to building codes that include seismic conditions. Reporter it would have a devastating impact on the housing supply and trigger a major exodus of low income people out of the bay area according to the study. Are you prepared for an earthquake . Just what i did to it. Reporter they did retrofitting and bought insurance. You cant prepare like a tornado. You cant go to the basement when you know theres a tornado. Theres not much you can do. Reporter with this report, the association of bay area governments is also reminding people that another large quake in the bay area is inevitable. There is now a 72 chance of a 6. 7 quake or greater in the bay area within the next 30 years. In los gatos. Len ramirez, kpix 5.
