Quality to be bad for the next few days as the High Pressure hangs out. We will have records tomorrow and temperatures could easily be 10 plus degrees and that is extremely hot. When i come back, i will talk about the weather and there is a lot. A dire situation unfolding in texas a storm battered a Chemical Plant northeast of houston and has become the latest concern. Today there was several explosions at the plant in crosby and that sent more than two dalvin dozen deputies to the hospital with breathing problems. Authorities a reassuring know has addressed chemicals have been detected. They were expecting the explosion. The plant was already under six feet of water from the rains unleashed by harvey prompting officials to have a large evacuation zone. Teams worked to locate and get help to storm victims. Many of the people have been stranded for days and floodwaters are going up in some parts of texas and crews and beaumont were forced to evacuate patients from one of the busiest hospitals earlier today. We head 193 patients at last night at midnight and we got a call at 1 am telling us they lost city water. Vice president mike pence was in texas to get a look at the damage and meet with victims. Crews from around the country and volunteers from texas have quickly become heroes this week. That includes search and rescue from the bay area going from small town to small tent. Ktvu ken wayne is there and joins us with a live report. Can. Reporter we have a gentleman in the white pickup truck from across the way and he got stalled out a couple minutes ago. He walked behind the truck and put his back to the tailgate and pushed the truck up higher so that it is not as deep in the water. Now he is back outside of the truck. I dont know if the truck is running. He is getting equipment out of the. There is a crazy cando spirit in texas. When he hopped out of the truck and pushed it i thought there was no way he could move it but he did. He has been through this before and as you look this way, this is our ride and this is how we got into texas. This town of 9000 people is an island and to completely cut off and surrounded by floodwaters from the Colorado River. Not that Colorado River on the california border and the one that runs through the grand canyon but a different one. These vehicles from the National Guard are the ones that are rolling rescuers in and out and in the back of the truck in addition to the rescuers they also have the boats because they cannot bring them in because there is dry spots on the roadway and flooded areas. I can see there is a boat in the back of this truck along with rescuers using the boats to get out and check for people who might be dropped and we believe there is there is a lot of people trapped here. I want to show you pictures that we shopped shot as we came in today on the back of the truck. The water was four feet deep and you cant get through that in a normal vehicle. You have to have a special break it to make it through. It took a while and the roads were wet and flooded. As we got into town we met up with the battalion chief from the east bay who told us what the plan was for the search and rescue team. We got maps of the tent and we started to look where was most impacted and use the resources and we put a plan to gather. You have the boats out there. We have six task force from all of the country. Currently involved and we are working to gather unilaterally as a team and weve got 25 votes on the water. There are dry spots in this town and residents are hanging out waiting to see how they can get evacuated. There are buses standing by. There have been some flights by choppers but most are being loaded into the trucks. One woman seems to be in desperate straits. She has dialysis and has not been able to do it. The closest hospital is 35 miles away without flooding. I feel well but i am weary from being up so long. Usually i sit on my recliner ordinate down. You need to get dialysis. How long can you wait . I dont know. I dont feel bad. This is the first time i have done this. You dont want to keep going too long without it . No. I dont want to wind upset. Wind up sick. I dont know. It back again live and it looks like the truck turned around and went back to assist the man in the pickup truck or stalled out in the water. They will get out and try to push them out of the deep part. Is it front of city hall. They are pushing him out. I dont know if the engine is running or he will be able to keep going once he gets into the area that is not deep. This is one of the ongoing flood concerns across texas and right now this town needs a lot of help. California firefighters are here providing the help and it is needed. Back to you guys. It looks like a dire situation. Is there any expectation as to how long the town will be cut off . It is all depending on mother nature. This town has a flooded before but not this badly. They are waiting for the water to go down so the roads will be cleared so they can get the vehicles in and out. It is hard to get anything in here unless it is on one of those big giant military trucks. The people that are here have to go out that way and that is why people did not want to leave the. They have had floods before but this was worse. The Colorado River has flooded that the creek in the area that did not flood before also flooded and the storm system backed up into the street and you have all of the water all over the area. I want to show you one more thing. I just grabbed this stick. This water is nasty but this is about 18 inches or so. This is where it starts to slope and get deeper. You can see the bus stop and the water has to be three feet deep. That is what you have in their here in war in texas. Despite the damage there is great stories. Neighbors helping neighbors and the owner of a Furniture Store is offering free shelter. He opened 30 of his showrooms. He is not only allowing people and the National Guard to sleep on the furniture that are for sale, he is giving them free food and water. People can bring their animals.

We see 111 but this is a record. We will track it. It seems like i will go swimming and not everybody can go swimming. Check on your neighbors and pets and everything.

Fox learned that trump will cancel the program as soon as friday. During the campaign, he railed against daca but he said the issue is difficult. We will deal with daca with heart. I have to deal with politicians. I convinced them that what i am saying is right. Under daca , youth that arrived are protected from deportation the Program Allows for work permits.

Joining us with more on this is political analyst. Do you think it will and daca tomorrow . He talked about ending the program and taught talked about his big heart. I have no idea what that means. We will see. It is not necessarily going to happen tomorrow because of texas. What will it mean . I would assume over time they will have to somehow end up on a list that takes them back to their country of origin. That is essentially ending immigrant status here without legality. De facto. It will make them fearful. Removing daca from 800,000 people is a game changer for all of those people. I dont understand. Why go after them . It is the program that was put in place by president barack obama by executive order in 2012 and i cant but help think that some of it is we didnt like that order and we will do the opposite. That means if trump is not reelected and a democrat comes into office, they can reverse it. Think about what that does for the people. Four years they are in and why cant congress get involved. That is the question. Conquers needs to take back its power. They spend their wheels on the issue. If you recall, obama signed it because they knew the republicans would not sign it. Trump thinks he has a problem undoing it so it sets up a vicious cycle which i have talked about for a very long time. These are peoples lives. Lets talk about the situation in texas. The aftermath of hurricane harvey. Mike pence was in there and trump saw the area earlier this week. How do you think the federal government is doing . There has been criticism but the response appears to be about as you are going good as you are going to get work the military and other organizations seem to be doing as best they can work and there will be quarterbacking on monday.

A mountain lighting lion sighting and triggered and alert the Mountain Lion and a cup were spotted in a redwood tree in the 1700 block of webster street. Police, park rangers and animal control were patrolling and launched a search. The presence is a danger to Public Safety. It is not something that is normal. It is not something that we encounter frequently. That is why it is a danger. There is nowhere for it to go. Nearby schools had a code blue and that meant outside activities were moved indoors. Police stepped up patrols but school let out. 110 degrees in the bay area and some people are going to have a busy weekend. It is satisfying to serve the public. You are doing something for somebody. We brought along with the people who are working nonstop. The coliseum where the raiders will put the season on tonight. The raiders play their final preseason game in oakland. It is against the seahawks. The starters are not expected to play. There is still storylines to follow. Scott is at the coliseum. Reporter the raiders and seahawks are playing here tonight. You mentioned that most of the starters will not play much if at all. That includes marshawn lynch. You might be able to get it quick glimpse as he is taking it in. Most of the players have gone back and and will be back for warmups. This is important for a lot of players. The raiders will make final roster cuts. The guys on the field will play their tails off because it might mean a difference between a job and unemployment. They are auditioning for the team and for the leak. I told the guys you want to make the best impression you can for the opportunity and you also have 31 other teams that will evaluate the tape and make an impression around the league. It is important to put your best foot forward. Id love to see as many as possible to play. We have tough decisions to make a. You are always pulling for the rest of the guys to find a home. You get a look at the special team for the raiders and seahawks. First and former first, the first round pick out of ohio state is an exception because he just returned after sitting out since june with an injury. We may see more of him. It is worth noting that they changed the timeframe with regard to roster cuts. They had two sets and this should year they will only have 53 come sunday at 1 00. That is 40 players who will be cut and multiply that by 32 teams and that is more than 1000 players that will be out of a job. It will be interesting to follow this. It starts tonight with the raiders and the seahawks. Back to you. Scott, we will check up later. You can watch the game right here on ktvu at 7 pm after ktvu fox 2 news at 6 pm. The strategy to tackle a persistent problem. How police say they are taking on car breakins. There is a lot of them. Pg e trouble every day. For the next five days, this will be heat related emergencies. Take a ride with us and the trouble man. The heat is on. The hottest day since 2006 and we could see records broken. High fire danger and that air quality. The day after day of high heat and power problems. The workers will be going nonstop. Tom went along with a pg e worker to see what it is like on the front lines. Reporter for 33 years no now he has been a trouble man. Disaster can strike at any time and he has been on call 24 seven. People are out of power and people are struggling. To get the power on is closing the fuses and it is fulfilling. Gives you the extra effort to do things. He was on an Early Morning call to prepare an outage. One of my arch enemies. A call to a downed line which all too often turned out to be a cable line. The man who called it in was taking no chances. Thats it just call pg e first. I told them i was not sure and they will send someone out. It is part of the Public Safety and i think it is a good thing to do. Until they find out what it is exactly is is i would do it. Be careful. They were able to be careful. We wanted to be there first if it is our line. The initial fix was to cut the phone line down. When the heat wave starts the work load changes. Mostly emergency repairs and other things that have to be done to get power back on track as equipment bakes all day and nights are not cool some equipment fell. Saturday has them settling into a heavy schedule. We try to help the rest of the crews and employees. Fatigue will set in. Hazardous conditions and the men and women are a breed apart. We are adrenaline junkies. We have that wire down and things are sparking and your brain works with energy and adrenaline. It is very satisfying to serve the public. You are doing something for somebody. Some schools are closing early tomorrow. The superintendent announced that the Elementary School will close at noon. Secondary schools will close at 12 45 pm. Students will be dismissed early at 1 05 pm. Lets go over to the weather center. Reporter when he showed schools down, i know that happened but i cannot remember. It has been a wild. I cannot believe how fast it moved in to expect as soon as the highway pressure moves in that was the clue that things are changing. The air quality is a spare the air day today and tomorrow and probably saturday and sunday but maybe not monday. Part of the reason for the spare the air is because of the smoke. The winds go northerly in the heat and you get the smoke out of the fire. Numerous fires in the North Central valley. These are the record temperatures in the area. One of them could get popped but that is huge. That is huge that you can go over 103 in San Francisco. Livermore has a shot. I dont think san jose does. Concord does. We will see how it goes. Records are a funny thing. Heat is the most damaging weather event to people. It kills more people than any other event. More than the hurricane or flooding. We will get our share. We will have to be prepared. Fire danger will have a red flag warning for the entire back the area. 19 degrees warmer in napa. Major heat in the forecast. You have seen this coming. This is not a big surprise. Spare the air day and you think you can work at home and dont get in the car necessarily. These are the numbers for tomorrow. 114 and when you see 100 degrees around the bay, that is hot. Think outside of yourself and think about that it is coming it is like the hurricane harvey. It is coming but we will do business as usual but dont do that. Two things different. Make sure pets have plenty of water and check on grants parents grandparents or neighbors. Be conscious. It is a big deal but it is not a big deal. It is only a big deal if we dont treat it like it is something different. Try to think about other things beside my daily routine. Even into the weekend the heat is dangerous. Pets and cars. The cars heat up so fast. Pets on pavements. Little kids are walking. The temperatures here is the official ambient temperatures but down here it could be 10 or 15 degrees warmer. Just think about heat and lots of fluid. Two things different. 32,000 cars have been broken into in San Francisco. Coming up, the Police Department talks about a new strategy to take on this problem. Every day in San Francisco there is 40 or more car break ins every day and the Police Department came up a new strategy. Tara moriarty tells us what they are planning to do. You see the shattered windows broken into every day into San Francisco. It is an epidemic. Over two years there have been 32,000 cars burglarized. What can we do right now to change the course of this . Since 2014 the task force dedicated to task breakins has made 400 arrest. The incidents have gone up 28 from one year ago. The rest are fantastic. It never happens with the presence of the officers on foot. A new strategy has come up to dissolve its successful task force and shrinking the narcotics unit and taking 100 officers and putting them back on the street. Citywide we had less than 100 fulltime officers assigned to the beat. That number will almost double. At mission station the foot patrol will quadruple because it is seen a 102 182 jump in burglaries. It does not mean we will have plane closed operations. Some members have expressed frustration that the thieves are being released from jail to reoffend. We have issues that go beyond what we can control. We can make arrests all day long but cannot control what is beyond that expect the chief said the foot patrol has been effective. And twin peaks they out have been averaging one car breakin. Part of the new plan has a campaign called smart park were signs will be posted warning tours to not leave valuables in your car. In San Francisco, Tara Moriarty , ktvu fox 2 news.
