They want kids inside the classrooms because they feel overwhelmed. As far as parent tease me, the teacher student ratio inside the classrooms. So what they want to do is make vote. And then even if they vote yes, they still have to circle around and get asked the second time. Are you sure you want to go on strike then . If they say yes at that time, then a strike is imminent. As far as whats going on, got a chance to talk to parents. They say its a very complex i do feel for them, you know, the its as you know, hard to.

Really be aware of your surroundings. In case things continue to fall like you mentioned it and have cell phones so having a family pan and knowing where to go, if you are disconnected from your family and having that establish can really help kind of east. Some of the confusion want to emergency happens able. Thank you so much, ryan. Thank you, jim, for talking with james, i will send it back to you in the studio. Thats a very latest here in San Francisco. Were very grateful to get firsthand what it would feel like when that actual earthquake happened to what this simulation feels like. Yeah, that was a fascinating interview. Michael, thank you so much. In some good information we all need to keep in mind. As we prepare for the next earthquake to strike. All right. It is 10, 11. Were going take a break. But still ahead on the kron 4 morning news, it could take days, maybe even weeks to repair the damage out at the richmond, sandra fell bridge toll plaza. That was after a big rig crashed into it will take a closer look at those repairs. Plus, an electrician shortage could be putting the brakes on the expansion of electric vehicle. Adoption will explain why and usps just announcing their shipping deadlines for the holidays. Well tel you didnt choose cat allergies. You didnt choose your hairline. Hot flashes, the flu, or that thing when your knee just gives out for no reason. You didnt choose your bad back or this. Or. That. You didnt choose depression, melanoma, or lactose intolerance. But with Kaiser Permanente you can choose your doctor who works with other bestinclass specialists to care for all that is you. Back 10, 14 is the time. And the Postal Service is trying to get way ahead of the game. Apparently they just provided their shipping deadlines ahead of whats expected to be a pretty busy holiday ship ing season. So if you are using either usps ground or first class mail, the post office want you to know that you need to send your package by december 16th. I know were only in october and this were talking about like 2 months away this deadline, but they just want you to know. Thats the deadline. If you want to get it to wherever you need it to go by christmas, those opting for Priority Mail should send their items by the 18th of december for Priority Mail express.

There will be a special event featuring handson solar site activities. They have their telescopes out there live feed as well. The peak time for viewing is between 9, 9. 30, saturday morning and hopefully the sky conditions will cooperate. But in the meantime, dont forget that. Looking at the eclipse without the proper protective eyewear is going to be dangerous for you. Heres a little animation. That kind of illustrates what happens if you just stare directly at it . Yeah, you get it. You burn the back of your eyeball. So dont do that. Thats going to create a black mark. Thats going to be in your vision forever because ophthalmologist say they really cant do anything to fix that because its scar tissue on the back of your eye. So there are proper protective eyewear, pieces that are rated to block out the dangerous rays of the sun. Just your simple sun shades wont do it. Youre a bands are going to cut it. Its a special film thats blacked out pretty intensely to protect your eyes. So make sure you use the right eye wear to watch this thing, which should be pretty cool. Johns going to try and watching himself a job. I am. Im taking a little drive this weekend trying to get up to where were going to see most of that coverage of the eclipse. The reason were calling it an annular eclipse instead of a total eclipses because of the nature of this, the moon is a little bit further away from the orbit of the earth right now. So its not going to completely block out the sun, but have that ring of fire wrapped around it and that half of the annular eclipse doesnt go too far away from us. So thats where im going to try to head. But even if you are staying locally here in the bay area, youre still getting 80 coverage. As james was advising, you and that graphic definitely displayed for do not be looking at it with the sunglasses. Make sure that youve got those special eclipse glasses. Last you want is to damage your eyes. If you are looking to head to the north areas like medford, oregon, or even right here in california, youre going up to modot tourist areas like that. Youre going to get that full effect of the ring of fire. If you want to head to further out east, youre going to get some more sunshine out towards areas like when im a can of ad which are going to be also along that half of the annular eclipse. So if you dont mind taking the drive, those are the spots to get to. And you can just stay here in the bay area. But we are going to have a few clouds drifting through friday night into saturday morning, something were not really seeing right now for any of these areas. Today is actually going to be a nice sunny day. Weve got the High Pressure in place for now, but another cold front is going to be sliding right past the region as we make our way into tomorrow night and saturday morning and along with that, a slim chance of a few showers, especially for the north bay leading into tomorrow night. Tomorrow itself is going to be a cloudier day, but staying dry during daytime hours evening hours. Well start to see some showers drifting mostly north of the golden gate. So if you are in the north bay, get ready for some overnight rain friday night into saturday morning. The rest of us may be just a few sprinkles during that time. Todays daytime highs are going to be a little warmer and winds a little calmer that gets the coast up to the 60s to 70s while the rest of the bay area, either in the 70s to even some low 80s, which is going to be a warm feel compared to where weve been so far this week. San jose and campbell at 78 for your highs. Fremont hayward up through oakland in the mid 70s. Well, a few 80s to know in spots like walnut creek, pittsburgh, vacaville fairfield, and even santa rosa also reaching the low 80s today. Looking ahead tomorrow, temperatures will be a little cooler with a few more clouds overnight. Sprinkles for the north bay friday night into saturday morning and again early next week, jace. All right, john, thank you very much. Now there is a new hurdle apparently facing millions of americans as they switch to electric cars.
