We have some slow traffic, and we talked about the crash northbound at 880 at the Stevens Creek boulevard, but not causing a big traffic jam.

We will monitor the effort of the pg e workers as they prepare to go. You can see some of them arriving to begin the work of loading up the gear and getting ready to take the gear to florida to give them aid after Hurricane Irma, hoping they dont have too much work. At this point theyre still monitoring the forecast like all of us. I know you spoke with the firefighters that do the same sort of thing. Many of these people are excited to lend their expertise to others that need it. Reporter they are absolutely ready. Pg e has sent out crews in the past, and in particular to hurricane sandy, and to other largescale disasters, and about 250 pg e personnel went out to help with hurricane sandy.

In other news President Trump angering many republicans after he sided with the Democratic Congressional leaders to give almost 8 billion for Hurricane Harvey relief. Yesterday the president sat down with leaders from both parties at the white house and he ended up going with the democrat plan for 7. 9 billion in Hurricane Harvey relief, and only extending the debt limit and budget issues to mid december. The republicans wanted a longer spending deal to carry through the 2018 midterm elections. The president listened to the arguments and we think we made a very reasonable and strong argument, and to his credit he went with the better argument. This is certainly not the best option. It is typical washington dc kick the can down the road. Congress is expected sign off on the initial package for the Hurricane Harvey agent pretty quickly but only a first installment. Overall the spending on Hurricane Harvey is expected to go well over 100 billion, and that does not include the relief funding needed after Hurricane Irma.

The daughter, charlotte, born in 2015 and they have confirmed that the royal couple is expecting their third child. I wonder if he cried a little bit . Which one . Either one of them.

This is becoming ordinary to have the commute that is difficult getting into San Francisco, one way or the other we see slow traffic. We have a big back up at the bay bridge toll plaza stretching around the maccarthur maze from the carquinez bridge to the maccarthur maze, over a half hour. It is better than yesterday. We still have slow traffic at the toll plaza as you can see. Interstate 880 heading south or north looking good through oakland.

It could hit northern mendocino county, possible later today. Even Southern California getting a few popup showers developing later. 60s, 70s, 70 and concord and buchanan, almost 70 in san jose, and the northbay cooled off a little bit yesterday.

The reason why is that the San Francisco buoy and the Half Moon Bay water temperatures 62 to 64.

This is the nation of antigua and barbuda, and the Prime Minister said they need international assistance. What i saw was heart wrenching. Absolutely devastating. In fact, i believe that on the per capita basis the extent of the destruction in barb you need to is unprecedented. Government officials in barb you need to say that nearly 2000 people are now homeless with nine out of the 10 buildings damaged with many completely destroyed. It is 6 34 am. Hurricane irma gets closer to the u. S. With the bay area firefighters and First Responders heading to the east coast to help out, and alex savidge is in oakland. California task force 4 is packing up and ready to travel. Reporter good morning. Many of these firefighters have just returned from texas days ago after helping to rescue people from the floodwaters brought on by Hurricane Harvey. This morning they are packing up and heading to the east coast, likely florida, help rescue those people in the path of Hurricane Irma. This task force is made up of over 50 firefighters and paramedics around the east bay with the lead agency the oakland fire department. We have the berkeley fire department, Fremont Fire Department and Alameda County fire department. They arrived early at the Maintenance Facility in oakland to get their gear and prepare their equipment. In a few hours they were board a few flights heading to atlanta to stage the initial military base in alabama before Hurricane Irma makes landfall. They will get their orders from fema to deploy wherever they are needed most. One of the Task Force Members is a fremont firefighter that says he just got back from texas monday. It is not easy but this is something we mentally prepare for over the years of training. Ive been on this team for a while. You put so much into something that you want a return, and this is the return. We know that going into this you can get a call at any time. Reporter this team spent 10 days in texas, mainly in the houston area at harvey helping those stranded in the floodwaters. The convoy was on the road traveling back to california from texas when the task force got a call that they were supposed to head toward Hurricane Irma so that convoy turned around on the highway and started driving east. The convoy will meet up with these 50 firefighters from the bay area that are part of the california tax force 4. You can see in this live picture where they loaded up the van to head out to the Oakland Airport heading to the east coast on these flights in a few hours. They could be dealing with the aftermath of Hurricane Irma for potentially the next three weeks. That is alex savidge in oakland, thank you. It is 6 36 am. A new report showing most homeowners in the path of irma do not have Flood Insurance and 58 of the homes in the hazardous coastal areas do not have federal insurance despite being required to carry yet. The number of policies in the state drop 15 in only five years. The decline started in 2012 when Congress Approved the price hike making the policies even more expensive. Several u. S. Airlines are capping the fares for the flights in and out of florida. This move comes in response to complaints of whites widespread gouging as Hurricane Irma moves closer to florida with united, jetblue capping their fares at 99 for the arriving and departing flights to florida. They have received over 1500 complaints at the Attorney Generals Office in florida on price gouging with one man saying he had to pay 1700 to get his 80yearold mother from fort myer to north carolina.

The deer were found close to his home with multiple ones but by the time the Humane Society arrived the deer were dead. No one was in danger and there was no Public Safety issue. These are defense live defenseless animals doing what is natural, eating vegetation, and to be killed for that is unconscionable in our minds. To kill an animal around here is crazy in an area where there so many kids around with family settling. I cannot imagine what was going through that guys brain. It is 6 39 am. The noose found on the campus of the Alameda High School has sparked investigation into a possible hate crime and the four foot long noose was found tuesday afternoon near the tennis court.
