Pg e announced that this time marin county would not lose power. Scottys market is relieved, but the senior Meat Department manager is still getting ready.

The winds playing a big factor in pg es decision. Meteorologist darren peck on when well see the strongest gusts. Heres an important distinction on that between a red flag warning warning thats issued from the National Weather service, specifically for what the conditions will be like in the mountains. Thats totally different from anything you hear about what pg e does. These are two totally different agencies. The red flag warning is exactly the same as it was yesterday as i showed you in the forecast. That means the timing, see where it says 4 00 a. M. Wednesday through 7 00 a. M. Thursday, that means for all the locations in red. Specifically the north bay mountains, but also the east and south bay hills as well. Well see gusts to near 60 in the north bay, and potentially 50 for the east bay and south bay hills. In fact, heres a close up look at the peak winds. This is tomorrow morning at 6 00 a. M. You know the drill on this map. If not ill put the numbers on there. The brighter the colors, the stronger the winds. 60 Miles Per Hour gusts at st. Helena, and about 20 Miles Per Hour in town. Just to drive home the point, this is a mountain event. Well bring the terrain out. The worst of the winds are in the mountains, not necessarily where we all live. Of course thats where a lot of the transmission lines are. Ill be back with the rest of the forecast. You probably noticed a cool down today. I want to talk about that in the forecast. Back to you. All right, darren, thank you. Its been more than a year since the deadly camp fire broke out in butte county. Today we got a better picture of the scope of debris clean up. 59 trips to the moon. Thats pretty phenomenal right . You know, 4 golden gate bridges worth of debris. It puts it into context of how complicated this effort was. In 9 months, crews cleared nearly 11,000 properties of debris. Now phase 2 of the project includes identifying and clearing hazardous trees so the remaining build process can move forward. Live look at capitol hill where house lawmakers heard new public testimony today in the impeachment inquiry. These 4 officials testified, some of them addressing concern over that july phone call between President Trump and the president of ukia. Nikole killion is live on capitol hill with more. Reporter the second hearing is still going on right now. Its nearing the 4hour mark, and it features kurt volker, one of the socalled three amigos that helped the president with ukraine policy, something he pushed back on. I think the allegations against Vice President biden are selfserving and not credible. Reporter kurt volker testified about what he now sees as an effort to pressure ukraine to investigate the bidens. In retrospect i should have seen it differently. Reporter in request came during a july 25th phone call between President Trump and ukraines leader that sparked the impeachment inquiry. Former National Security council official tim morrison was on the call and testified he raised concerns about aid to ukraine being conditioned on investigations. I was concerned about what ambassador sondland were saying were requirements, yes. Reporter earlier in the day house lawmakers heard from 2 other witnesses that listened in on the phone call with ukraine and described it as in inappropriate. I found it unusual. Reporter Lieutenant Colonel arvin said it was his duty to report his his concerns, but republicans pressed him about whether he told anyone else. Colonel, you never leaked information. I never did, never would. That is preposterous that i would do that. Reporter democrats pushed back. You attack a man whos wearing a springfield rifle on a field of blue above a purple heart. Reporter the white house says nothing new was learned in the hearings, and maintains the president s actions are not impeachable. The president said he watched some of the hearings, which he dismissed as a kangaroo court. Live from capitol hill, kpix 5. Thank you so much.

A woman in Sonoma County is recovering from serious injuries after being attacked by dogs from a homeless encampment. Kpix 5s john ramos is in santa rosa where the camp has been a fixture for 5 years. Reporter santa rosa has a growing homeless problem, but what happened here is testing the limits of its compassion. Her friends are helping her prepare for a city council meeting. The exhibit theyre creating shows the injuries carolyn suffered last week when she was attacked as she walked on this path by a pair of dogs living in a homeless camp in the bushes. I Little White Dog first started biting me, and the pit bull bit me immediately on my calf and went to my arm and pulled me down and started dragging me. Reporter the homeless woman that owned the dogs was bitten as well as she tried to get them off. Carolyn spent 3 days in the hospital and underwent emergency surgery. My tendons needed to be reattached. Nerve damage, broken bones. Im on heavy antibiotics so i dont get a bone infection because the dog bit through multiple bones. Reporter but this wasnt the first time the dogs were aggressive. Craig murphys wife was also on the path back in august when the same dog snarled at her and tried to break free. He reported it to police and was told the dog had a history of biting people. The officer reported that he asked the residents of the encampment to leave but he didnt have the power to make them leave because of the injunction. Reporter the injunction is a ruling in a boise, idaho court case saying that people camping on a public property cant be removed if theres no bed to place them in. Officials posted signs advising residents to avoid a popular biking trail because the homeless had essentially taken it over. Right now it just feels like they can do whatever they want. Reporter so because of attempts to show compassion to the homeless, carolyn now sits wondering if the feeling will ever come back to her fingers, knowing that no one is really being held accountable for what happened. It feels like being victimized over again knowing that something could have been done before this happened to me. We got no response from animal control today, but the attack victim was told the pit bull has been quarantined and scheduled to be euthanized.

Most ride share pick ups were moved to the top level of the domestic garage this summer, but starting tomorrow for people ordering uber comfort, uber select, and uber xl, drivers will be allowed to pick up curb side at each domestic terminal. Until now, only uber black was allowed to do that. The program could continue past january if all goes well. It gives us a chance to study this and see if its something the roadways can adominate during the busiest time of year. The rule applies to about 10 percent of uber customers leaving the airport. The changes dont apply to lyft drivers or regular uber pick ups. The chair of the ntsb says an ineffective Safety Culture at uber led to last years deadly crash involving a pedestrian and a selfdriving test car. They said the pedestrian was detected 5. 6 seconds before the crash, but it wasnt equipped to know what to do next. Instead of watching the road, the back up driver was streaming a tv show. Uber says it has made many safely improvements since the crash, but the ntsb will likely recommend more. A santa clara driver managed to get away from this crash unharmed. The Sheriffs Office says the person was distracted on their cell phone and hit a power pole. It happened this morning on prospect road in saratoga. 2 guards assigned to watch Jeffrey Epstein the night he killed himself have pleaded not guilty to charges of falsifying records. The 2 were named in a grand jury indictment unsealed today. They were supposed to check Jeffrey Epstein every half hour, but its contended that they were setting at their desks shopping and sleeping. Jeffrey epstein who was awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges was left alone for 8 hours, then found dead of an apparent suicide. A couple of disruptions on the first day of the dream force software convention in San Francisco today. Dozensof immigrant rights activists called on sales force to cut ties with customs and border protection. Sales force is a company that claimed to have a social justice bottom line. Were here to demand they uphold that bottom line and drop the contract with u. S. Customs and border patrol. And another disruption today. This blimp flew above where dream force is being held. Sky divers eventually jumped and landed in a park near drum street. It was put on on fresh works, a competitor. Dream force will have several speakers this week including former president obama. It runs through friday. All right, darren, the winds may not apply to everybody, but the fire danger certainly does. Especially for the north bay hills. Look at the live view from the top of the sales force tower. San francisco was 13 degrees cooler than yesterday. Fremont 11 degrees cooler, san jose dropped 8. Right now the winds are coming from the northwest. Those are gentle breezing. Westnorthwest. You see the wnw. A westnorthwest breeze happens when you have a weak cold front that comes through. After the front passes the cool air rushing in behind it. But we havent gotten to the real issue. Ill play this into the overnight hour, and you see the screen light up over here, and you also noticed wind direction changed. It hits the mountains over the north bay, and then thats where we get the fire weather concerns. Then we have the winds going offshore and speeding up to get over the mountains. Thats why its a total different scenario in terms of winds for the red flag warning. Most of us wont notice it down here where we live. Its a lot windier in the mountains than it will be at your house, and weve had several events like that that have happened so far this season. See is spin . Cant miss it. Thats the area of low pressure. You can see the storm here. Watch what happens. Counterclockwise spin, and the storm missed it going too far inland. When storms go inland, we feel them pass, but dont get the rain. We get snow in the sierra. Thats tonight into tomorrow and into early thursday. And cal trans is already temporarily closing some of the passes. Temperatures back to average. Theres the morning lows for tonight. Ill show you the daytime highs in line with what we should be doing for this time of year. In the bay the headlines continue to be the winds overnight tonight through tomorrow. After that its run of the mill november temperatures with no rain in sight. Back to you. All right, thank you.
