Moss beach at 60. Atherton, 60 degrees. Pretty close. Look for a lot of cloud cover. By this evening, the system will sweep through and there will be a dramatic change tomorrow. 60s and 70s on the temps today. 7 01. And sal tells us. Yes. We have the crash on the way to the bay bridge, steve. Okay. If you drive to the bay bridge, dont take the 880 ramp. It is getting crowded. The crash has been there for at least half an hour. A little north than that. 880 to the connector ramp to westbound 80. You can see the traffic will be slow on 880. Today would be the day to use 980 to 580 to get inform the macarthur maze and get to the bay bridge toll plaza from there. The crash is right there northbound 880 right where it splits off to the bay bridge toll plaza. For a lot of people, it will be a slow traffic. If you drive in the carpool lane, you can get off in the carpool lane before that, if that makes any sense there for you. But i still wouldnt use that ramp. It is too crowded. Lets move along to the bay bridge. You can see traffic here is going to be okay. In fact, check this out. Im going to show you this. Normally there are a bunch of cars here. Guess why theyre not getting there . Because of the accident that we just showed you. Thats what it is doing to traffic. Lets look at the san mateo bridge. Westbound 92, traffic moderately heavy out to the cloudy peninsula. The commute on the peninsula looks good. 7 02. Back to the desk. Thank you, sal. Following breaking news in oakland. A deadly Apartment Fire. It started around 4 00 this morning here on the 4th floor of a building on fairmont avenue just blocks away from harrison street and the 580 freeway. Firefighters put out the fire, kept it from spreading. But one person has died. At this point they havent told us much about the victim or how this fire started. Were going to get a live report coming up later in this hour. Across the bay, firefighters in San Francisco rescued a man whose home was on fire early this morning. Fire crews got the call just before 2 00 this morning of a fire. When they arrived, the two story home was engulfed in flames. A teenage boy who got out told firefighters that his parents were still inside. They were able to rescue his father who was taken to the hospital in critical condition. His mother got out on his own. The cause is under investigation. The search in mexico for survivors of the big earthquake yesterday is still happening. It was a 7. 1 quake. Has already killed more than 200 people and caused a lot of damage. It is likely more victims will be found. Allie rasmus is here to bring us the latest on search and rescue efforts. Yes. They continue with intensity this morning. At this point they know that the earthquake has killed 217 people. That number is expected to rise since there are a lot of people unaccounted for who may be trapped in the rubble. This video captures the terrifying moments of the magnitude 7. 1 magnitude earthquake yesterday. You see people running for the exit, diving under desks. It happened around 1 00 in the afternoon mexico city time. Theyre about two hours ahead of us. As people were out and going about their business. At least 40 buildings have collapsed in mexico city alone. A lot apartment and residential buildings like youre looking at in the video. A local resident who took this video for us says she and other neighbors rushed in to help, bringing shovels and first aid supplies to emergency responders. One of the devastating scenes is a Primary School that collapsed. You see a before and after picture that was given to us. The before is from google maps. The after was taken by a resident. All but four of the bodies found were children. It is about 75 miles southeast of mexico city. That area had casualties and extensive damage from the quake along with the nearby area. In an eerie coincidence, this struck on the anniversary of the 85 quake. It claimed the lives of 5,000 people. Right now the number of deaths from this quake is 217. But officials are worried, gasia and dave, that more people may be trapped. Thats why the search continues this morning. You see ordinary people using their hands to dig through rubble to find people who may be trapped in the buildings. It is not just the rescue crews doing this difficult work. Yes. People rushed out of their homes when this earthquake happened, which is, you know, normally the case when you have an earthquake there because of the concern that the buildings could collapse. Keep in mind a lot of the most of the buildings, especially the residential buildings in mexico are made out of concrete. Any time that you have concrete slabs, it can come down. When residents discovered there were buildings that had collapsed, a lot rushed in to do what they could. Thank you, allie. Here in the bay area, many people are desperately trying to reach their family and friends in mexico. Ktvu went to the Mexican Consulate in san jose and talked to a number of people who say it is difficult to be so far away. He says theyre okay but he fears his friends may be trapped in the rubble. And that is difficult. Because you dont know. I tried to call all, but some people dont answer me. Answer me. The Mexican Consulate has a 24 7 hotline number for people in the bay area trying to reach loved one. It is at the bottom of your screen. Once the damage in mexico city is assessed, the office will determine what kind of help the bay area can send. Seismologists are studying the quake. They say it was weaker than the quake earlier this month but caused more damage. Mexicos quake was recorded in the Berkeley Hills by uc scientists at the seismology station. While the images that were seeing is something that the bay area can relate tox the faults moving in mexico are different than californias system. Our plates rub side by rub while what is happening in mexico, they dip one below the other. The earthquake thats we have here are usually as the technical terms go. These are in the zone where one plate dives under another one. Now, there is a risk that we share. Bay area baylands and landfill areas are not stable when a quake hits. Mexico sit see built in a geologic bowl where there was once a lake. Seismologists say it also shakes like pudding when there is an earthquake. As Steve Paulson has been reporting and showing us, port rick sew getting slammed by Hurricane Maria. It hit as a dangerous category 4 storm with winds close to 155 Miles Per Hour. It is the strongest hurricane to hit puerto rico in more than 80 years. The storm has already devastated parts of the eastern caribbean. Some people were able to catch the final flights out of the region. They say after hurricane irma, they were not going to stay for maria. My first hurricane was irma. I didnt want to stick around for this next one. People in puerto rico especially in lowlying areas were urged to evacuate. It is estimated some 11,000 people are riding out the storm in shelters set up across the island. The time is 7 08. Back here at home a veteran chp officer was killed in a crash that happened yesterday morning as he was on his way to work in the south bay. 44yearold James Brannick started his career in 2005. Yesterday mornings accident occurred just before 6 00 near san martine. He was an amazing person and officer. Now, he was riding his motorcycle southbound on monterey road when the driver of a pickup truck made a left turn right in front of him. Despite the efforts by First Responders, he died at the scene. Chp officer brannick is survived by his wife and parents. The driver of the pickup truck is cooperating with the investigation. The time is 7 09. Overcoming obstacles and stereo types. It didnt really matter what you do or not. No, you cant do it. Well, news flash. Yes, we can. Up next, how one of the first female firefighters in San Francisco rose through the ranks and the special anniversary that the department is marking. A lot of tough talk from President Trump yesterday at the United Nations, when it comes to north korea. Im doug luzader in washington. We will have more on that just ahead. Good morning. Traffic is moving along pretty well if you are driving in some areas and not so well in others. And we still have that accident on the connector ramp from 880 to westbound 80. We will tell you the progress on that. Low clouds are streaming in in advance of the system, dropping down from the gulf of alaska. In advance of it, it is on the mild side. But cooler weather is on the way. The timing is 7 12. British authorities have arrested two more people in connection with the london subway attack. Detectives arrested two mean yesterday in wails. That brings the total number of suspects arrested so far to five. A home made explosive device placed inside of a bucket injured 30 people when it partially detonated inside of a subway car last week. The time is 7 13. Hundreds of San Francisco firefighters went to yesterdays funeral for a battalion chief who died on the job. The Funeral Service for terry was there the church. He collapsed and died on september 10th after responding to a call earlier that morning. He was later found unresponsive in his office. Yesterday firefighters from other bay area cities stepped in and covered San Francisco fire stations so his colleagues could go to his funeral. The largest agricultural Water District in the state is rejecting governor browns controversial project to send water from the delta through twin tunnels to southern california. The Water District is considered key to the 16 billion plan. The district covers more than 1,000 square miles of farm land in the Central Valley. If it agreed to sign on, it would have contributed more than 3 billion to it. We dont really know the cost of this project. We have been told 16 billion for many years. We dont think thats the actual cost. But even if that 16 billion, when you look at financing that over the course of 70 years, the cost gets quite high. No one i know has a 70year mortgage. It would feed water through tunnels to the Central Valley and southern part of our state. The governor says the tunnels would provide a more reliable water supply. Yes. The price tag keeps going up to build the bullet train. Several members of the board say the budget overruns are hurting the public image of the project. The work has started on the first 32 miles of tracks between fresno and madera. The goal is to connect San Francisco to los angeles by highspeed rail. A lot of people out in their cars. Gripping the wheel. Hoping to get to where they need to go. Sal, help them out. Im trying to help them out with this crash, gasia, that we have at the macarthur maze well, not really the macarthur maze. It is on the ramp from 880 to westbound 80. The crash has been going on an hour. They made some progress. We know the paramedic vehicles and the Fire Department left with injured people. They have a closure as they try to get the cars out of the way. It is causing kind of a big backup on 880 northbound trying to get up to the bay bridge. I can put it up on the map. If youre coming up to the bay bridge, you are seeing slow traffic coming up to this area here on northbound 880. Give yourself extra time or use 880 or use 980 to 580 to go this way around. Really i would just go with the extra time route. A lot of people are doing that. Give yourself more time. When you get to the bay bridge toll plaza, it is backed up for a 20minute delay. San mateo bridge could be an option. Were looking at that closely. Traffic is moderately heavy. You see the dumbarton bridge also has slow traffic approaching it on westbound 84, just after 880 theres a crash. And on the peninsula, we already have slow traffic on southbound interstate 280 coming out of daly city down into san bruno. 7 16. Lets bring in steve with todays weather. I will get to the weather in a second. We will start with category 4 hurricane that made landfall in puerto rico earlier this morning. It stopped communicating. You can imagine why. When you get 150 Miles Per Hour winds, thats going to do major damage. You could not place this any more squarely over puerto rico than what maria has done. Wind gusts again about i have seen 118 right around san juan. It looks like the eye is about ready to go past san juan which means some of the most damaging wind should be getting ready to move past them. Once it moves through, then it goes back out to the open water where 86 degree water temps will continue to fuel it. Still category 4 moving north northwest at 13 Miles Per Hour. Category 5 and then category 4. Still category 4 at last check. About to move back out into the atlantic. It is not stalling out. What is interesting though is hurricane now Tropical Storm jose is moving off of new england around 40 Miles Per Hour. This system has nowhere to go. It weakens considerably but there are signs it mayo omara will take the same path and there are some projections of maybe Hurricane Force winds off of new york city in about a week. We will see. They have a mind of their own. A lot can change but it looks to be taking a similar path. Mostly cloudy. Ment low clouds have come in. The cool air will spill in tonight and tomorrow morning. Significantly cooler by tomorrow. 60s and 70s on the temps under cloudy to mostly cloudy skies. In advance of that, we had rain moving up in Crescent City. Twothirds of an inch of rain the last two days. That is the cool air sweeping in. It is moving in. Late rain also made it into Mendocino County. Around ukiah to fort bragg. And it looks like some of that could make it down to about santa rosa. Santa rosa, calistoga and also lake county. The low clouds are being pushed in advance of it. Thats why we have these ramping up. They werent there a couple of hours ago. They are there now. Mid 60s for some. A lot of 50s. But mid60s with the south wind. On the peninsula, 60 at atherton, fremont. 62 for belmont. Very mild. But the cooler air is on the way. Viewer quibble west, north variable west and north. The delta breeze is cranking up a little bit. 58 and 59. The water temps will come down over the next few days as the cold air works its way in. If youre heading to the mountains, there could be a little snow down around 6,000 feet. So far okay there. It would be later this afternoon and into tonight. There is a Winter Weather advisory heading across 80 or 50. I know most arent but some may be. Be advised. You can see the leading edge of the system right there. The cool air settles in and then a slow rebound heading into the weekend. Today 60s and 70s on the temps. Did not put any 80s in the mix. I think for the First Time Since june 12th. Thats the first time that i can remember that we did not have any 80s. That was the last cool day that we had. Through friday morning. Cool lows and warmer on the weekend, gasia. Thank you, steve. This weekend the San Francisco Fire Department is marking 30 years of women serving in the department. In 1987, two fire academies included seven women. Sheila hunter was one of those women. Today she is a lieutenant at station 33 in San Francisco. In the early years, shifts were long and lonely and there were time thats some men clearly wanted her out. I remember the one time that a group of guys said we dont think you should be here. We dont think you can do the job. And, you know, along those lines, i was like okay. Ill show you. The San Francisco Fire Department now has 272 women serving in the department, making up almost 16 of sf fire. Coming up this morning on the 9, mike mibach will bring us more from lieutenant hunter and we will have an interview with the fire chief, joanne. An unlikely find inside of an suv. How an owl got trapped in her dashboard and what it took to get it out. At Stanford Health care, we can now repair complex aortic aneurysms without invasive surgery. If we can do that, imagine what we can do for varicose veins. And if we can precisely treat eye cancer with minimal damage to the rest of the eye, imagine what we can do for glaucoma, even cataracts. If we can use dna to diagnose the rarest of diseases, imagine what we can do for the conditions that affect us all. Imagine what we can do for you. There are new reports that amazon is working on its first wearable smart device. Businesses are start today report the impact of hurricane harvey. Pam cook is back in the studio with todays money business. Fedex is one of them. [audio difficulties] checking in on the opening bell this morning.

Back to the fed, it is wrapping up a twoday meeting on Monetary Policy today. This is one of the final policies before her term expires. Most experts dont think the fed are hike Interest Rates today. There are signs that the fed could start to shrink the four and a half trillion dollar portfolio. That could push up Interest Rates. The announcement will be released at 11 00 our time. There are new reports that amazon is working on its first wearable smart device. Amazon will team the alexa Voice Assistant with a pair of smart glasses. That connection would be made through a smart phone. The paper says it would allow the user to hear alexa without headphones. Amazon wants to use its echo as part of a smart phone Home Security system. And users would be able to look at a live video feed on the echo show. So far theres been no comment by amazon. Undownload apples most recent update to the ios system. It works on iphones and ipads but nothing older than an iphone 6. It has a new control center, new app store. It has a driving mode as well. It will turn off notifications while driving a car. A company is rolling out any a new version of night scope k7. It is five feet high and almost 10 feet long. It is designed to pa Tropical Storm on grass, gravel, sand and other tough terrain. Right now it goes about 3 Miles Per Hour. It navigates using a system of cameras and sensors and it sends back video and audio to a human supervisor who can react when something is not right. The time is 7 26. A push to rename a popular plaza in San Francisco. Why the name Justin Herman plaza could be dropped and the name that some are suggesting instead. Plus, one person was killed during an Early Morning fire at this Apartment Building in oakland. We will tell you the latest on the investigation here. What firefighters are trying to figure out and what were learning about the victim in this case from neighbors. The time is 7 29 this wednesday morning, september 20th. Im gasia mikaelian. Good morning. Im dave clark. This is a day that weather is dominant in the news today. Steve paulson is right over here in his office. I would love to show you wind gusts in puerto rico. Unfortunately i think theyre all out. Because all of the sensors are out. Yeah. We will get to i just plotted them there and nothing is showing up, which means they have probably been there you go. Not one is reporting anything. Now, some of them may have been down before. I would think that the wind damage has probably wiped out most of these. It looks like its about ready to exit puerto rico. Category 4. There are incredible rainfall rates coming in. 145 Miles Per Hour. Came in southeast puerto rico. Just sliced right across. I mean right through there. Moving northwest at 13. I would think i have seen some river stages and they have absolutely blown past record levels. So we will be hearing about severe flooding among many thing. Even the radar is out from the two sites. So catastrophic damage. I would imagine for most of the island. Mostly cloudy and mild. You get a south wind in advance of this system and cooler. I doubt much makes it to the south. This is not a system with a lot of moisture. But it has cool air coming in behind it. In advance of that, we are getting a south wind for some. It may feel muggy. Tomorrow morning, we will have really cool air in here. The low clouds have been pushed in advance of the system. We went from clear to cloudy. 50s and a lot of mid60s on the temps much the breeze picked up for some. Gilroy at 52. Scotts valley at 59. So for some, it is cool. Others it is on the mild side. South wind, northwest, south wind. Generally a southerly breeze in advance of the first front coming in. Not a lot of cloud cover with it but it is rather dynamic and it will bring light rain to the north. 60s and 70s on the temps. 7 31. We had an accident where, sal. On the connector ramp from 880 to westbound 80. Ill show you, steve. Lets show you the pictures where it was. It has finally been moved. It was right here on this picture here which is the connector ramp from northbound 880 to westbound 80. So it was right in this area here. They have removed it. But traffic is still very slow. And now you can see that at the toll plaza, remember the last time i showed you, this ramp was empty. Now that they cleared the accident, this is jam packed with a lot of people going very slow. They were held in slow traffic. Right now traffic will be busy. Were also looking at a commute where the traffic on the san mateo bridge may be an option for you if youre driving there. If youre driving on the nimitz freeway down to fremont, you will have stop and go traffic all the way down to stevenson. Back to the desk. Thank you, sal. Rescue teams in mexico working around the clock, still searching for more survivors of yesterdays deadly quake. Just a couple of minutes ago, mexicos Civil Defense raised the death toll confirm today 225. And there is a strong possibility that more victims will be found. That includes 25 people who died at a school in southern mexico city. And 21 of them are children. Volunteers are using their bare hands, digging through, taking out debris, hoping to find people still alive. Now to Hurricane Maria, which is pummeling puerto rico. Winds are up to 145 Miles Per Hour. That is enough to tear apart buildings, to rip trees out of the ground. About twothirds of the island is being impacted by these hurricaneforce winds. Maria weakened to a category 4 storm after making landfall. Maria is the strongest hurricane to hit puerto rico in more than 80 years. At this point thousands of people are without power. Thousands have been without power since hurricane irma. Officials expect the entire island to lose power. There is also the concern about flooding and mudslides. Some 11,000 people have gone to shelters, waiting out this extremely powerful storm. Our time is now 7 33. Early this morning, there was a deadly Apartment Fire in the city of oakland. Ktvus alex savidge has been out at the scene. What do you know and what is the situation now . Reporter well, dave, good morning to you. In talking to neighbors here, they tell us that the man who was killed in the overnight fire was an elderly man who lived alone in this corner unit here on the third floor of this Apartment Building. And you can see some of the damage there on the outside of the window from the intense flames that burned inside of that apartment. The fire swept through the place early this morning. And the man who lives there was unable to escape. The fire started around 4 00 this morning at this complex on fairmont avenue, which is right off of interstate 580 near the harrison street exit. Oakland firefighters say they arrived this morning after getting the call. When they got here, they found the victim on the floor, just outside of the door to his apartment. And he was unable to be saved. The building was evacuated as crews put out the fire. And they were able to keep it contained to just that one you know. Reporter one unit. It was a very intense fire. The building had working smoke detectors so all of the other residents in the building escaped unharmed. They confined the fire to the apartment that was involved. Reporter there are also there was also one woman taken to the hospital this morning and treated for smoke inhalation, one of the neighbors here. According to the people we spoke with, the man who died in the fire was in his 70s. He, again, lived by himself. He has not yet been identified by authorities. Investigators with the oakland Fire Department are trying to figure out what exactly caused the fire. They have been they have not seen any indication of exactly how it started. Theyre also trying to figure out why this person was unable to escape the flames early this morning. All right. Alex savidge in oakland. Thank you. The time is now 7 36. In the meantime, Oakland Police are investigating the deadly shooting of a 24yearold woman. She was shot and killed just before 9 00 yesterday morning in east oakland. Police believe she lived in another part of oakland. And theyre trying to figure out why she was in that neighborhood. So far they dont have a motive. No arrests have been made. Police in Castro Valley are investigating a hate crime this morning after racist graffiti was found on school property. Offensive comments against the jewish and africanamerican communities along with swastikas were on a pickup truck at canyon middle school. It was parked near the basketball court. This is not the first time that Castro Valley unified had to deal with Something Like this. We had another incident that also had very similar language written on a pole in a quad at the Castro Valley high school. And the language is similar. The Sheriffs Office is reviewing Surveillance Video to see if it can identify a suspect. Theyre also asking anyone with information about the case to contact them. The time is now 7 37. A rookie sheriffs deputy has been fired by the San Francisco Sheriffs Office after his gun was stolen from a rental car over the weekend. It was stolen from the trunk of the rental car that was parked on san bruno avenue. The sheriff says it appears that the gun was not properly stored in a lockbox as required by police by department policy. A separate state law took effect this year requiring Law Enforcement officers to either secure their weapons in a lockbox or in a trunk. And perhaps firing this deputy sends a signal and a message that it wont be tolerated, certainly by the San Francisco sheriff and their department. Now, state senator jerry hill wrote that legislation following homicides in San Francisco that were committed with guns stolen from federal agents, including the deadly shooting of kate steinly in 2015. San Francisco Police will continue to implement reforms recommended last year by the u. S. Department of justice. Despite changes in the federal program under the trump administration. San Francisco Police chief William Scott says he remains committed to reforms. Last year under the obama administration, the department of justice reviewed the San Francisco Police Department following a series of Deadly Police shootings. The report detailed 272 recommendations for reform. Chief scott says the Department Plans to continue implementing those recommendations. The time is now 7 38. President trump meets today with more word leaders as part of the United Nations general assembly. His big speech yesterday is still being talked about, especially tough talk on north korea. Doug luzader has more on the fallout from washington. Reporter a trump critic says his speech before the United Nations yesterday was dark. His supporters say it was a moment of truth telling on a world stage. Either way though, north korea was really singled out. I think it went well. I said what i had to say. Reporter President Trump leaving his big speech as the reviews were just coming in. He had taken the podium moments earlier delivering an address that did not mince words, especially when it came to north korea. The United States has great strength and patience. But if it is forced to defend itself or its allies, we will have no choice but to totally destroy north korea. North korea. Reporter north koreas delegations at the speech amount today a single note taker. Will kim jongun take note himself because trump singled him out using a relatively new nickname. Rocket man is on a Suicide Mission for himself. Reporter not surprisingly, pendants were split in the manner in which trump called out the north. He was right to do that. But using the term rocket manmade it sound like our relations with north korea is a video game. This is very serious business. Reporter but with north korea still Testing International limits, even after new rounds of u. N. Sanctions, it is clear that one u. S. Administration after another has failed to contain the threat. Was this speech just more rhetoric and empty threats . That is a question that kim jongun may very well be asking himself this morning. And the president went beyond north korea as well. He also mentioned iran, syria and venezuela. In washington, doug luzader, fox news. The time is now 7 40. San franciscos board of supervisors now urging the recreation and Parks Department to rename a popular plaza. Right. Theres a push to rename Justin Herman plaza at the foot of the embarcadero. The legislation was introduced. It is not meant to dishonor herman but it is seen as the destruction of vibrant japanese and africanamerican communities. The petition has gained 14,000 signatures. Two names that i had suggested was maya angelou which was the first street car operator. And johnson, the first black student first black photography student. He actually photographed the fillmore district, the residents that herman displaced. The resolution calls for the current name to be removed immediately and it to be referred to as the embarcadero plaza. The public can suggest a permanent name. The parks and Rec Department will take it up next month. We are asking you through the question of the day, do you think that Justin Herman plaza should be renamed, yes or no . Let us know on twitter or facebook or on ktvu. Com. A dangerous overnight fire in San Francisco. Coming up in the 8 00 hour, the damage and the injuries caused by the fire and how many people are displaced now. Up next, the president has a message for immigrants being granted citizenship. His video is being played today and his suggestion to the newest american citizens. Still pretty slow out there. Some of the commutes are getting even slower. As you look at the macarthur maze though, you can see that traffic is improving here on the way around the corner. A lot of low clouds in place and many reports of drizzle now. Light rain certainly to the north. It looks like a day that we could get a little rain out of this. We will talk about that and the temps coming up. The time is 7 44. A new welcome video from President Trump will be played at naturalization ceremonies in los angeles. He urges the new american citizens to help others assimilate and remain loyal to their new country. My dear fellow american i am with great pride that i welcome you into the american family. No matter where you come from or what faith you practice, this country is now your country. Our history is now your history. In the message the president also says, quote, our traditions are now your traditions. And says they should teach American Values to others and help newcomers assimilate to our way of life. Former president s obama and bush had videos but did not use the word assimilate in their videos. Sal, youve been busy. Im glad to hear some things are Getting Better but theres a lot of traffic in the commute. Things are Getting Better. Like the connector ramp crash is gone. I watched in the last 15, 20 minutes for the traffic to unwind. The traffic at the carpool lane was even slow. It took a while but now traffic is better. So the ramps have been sort of cleaned up. Now that the accident is gone, things are getting back to normal, which is to say a 20, 25 minute delay here. The san mateo bridge looks like it will be slowing. And the high wind signs are up on the san mateo bridge. The chp says it is gusty out there. Be careful. Youre not going fast enough to worry about the winds. Mostly stop and go traffic. Dumbarton bridge, the same thing. Slow mostly all the way across. And 880 will continue to be slow from 238 all the way down to stevenson. We have a jam packed east bay commute. Next time we will look at contra costa county. 7 46. Lets bring in steve. Sal, a lot of low clouds and drizzle from bodega bay all the way to santa clara and maybe where you are as well. Some drizzle also up to lake county. A couple hours ago, this was clear. Not now. The system coming in in advance of that low cloud deck is getting a little bit of a south wind. On the mild side for some in the 60s. Very cool air is on the way for late tonight and tomorrow. First of all we can take a look at what were the radar sites in puerto rico. They got obliterated. No more are coming in. As you can imagine when a category 4 hurricane comes in southeast. It just wiped everything out. It looks like it is about ready to exit go back out into the atlantic. But 175 to 140 Miles Per Hour. There are some intense rain bands in there. Over land, the eye wall collapsed as you might imagine. We will see if it reforms once it gets over the atlantic and warm air. This system is now moving north northwest at 13 Miles Per Hour. The track it looks like it wants to take the place of what was hurricane now Tropical Storm jose which produced gusts of 40 Miles Per Hour in new england. The track of this, in six or seven days, these things change, could take the place of that and put it close to new york and boston next week. Well see. Well see. There are signs of that. For us, we do have mostly cloudy skies and a lot of low clouds. Mild first and then cooler. Many reports of drizzle. The rain would be mainly to the north as the system advanced south, it will start to weaken. 60s and 70s on the temps. The coldest air arrives tomorrow morning. Starting to come out of the gulf of alaska. It is arriving and forecast models picked up on it. It is on its way. Good rain in the north coast. Our observer up in Crescent City had two thirds of an inch of a rain. There are reports into fort bragg. So some on the coast are picking up light rain. Just drizzle so far here. We have reported from lake county all the way down. We get the low cloud deck. That is not going anywhere soon. 60s on the temps. Most locations are running considerably warmer than yesterday. Napa and santa rosa are plus 12. San jose is identical to this time yesterday. Interesting for some. It is cooler. For others, it is warmer. Windsor, everybody is consistent and persistent on the temperatures. There is a breeze for higher elevations. I have seen 30 Miles Per Hour at mount tam and the altamont pass. 37 truckee. There will be snow late tonight and tomorrow, around the 6,000 or 6500 level. The wind will pick up over the passes. For u the system is on its way. It will drop in tonight and tomorrow and you will notice a big change. Mostly cloudy. Some sun breaks in there. Light rain to the north. Breezy to windy at times. 60sand 70s on the temps. Farther north, a better opportunity for rain. Farther south, less so. 60s, 70s for the first time in a long time i do believe since june 12th, this will be the coolest temps that we have seen. Tomorrow looks even cooler as the system drops in. If there is any rain, it would be today or tonight. Certainly in the morning. I would not be surprised on friday in wind protected areas to the north we get upper 30s for lows. Wow. A little warmer on the weekend. Wow. Thank you, steve. Yep. An owl was rescued by the Peninsula Humane Society from a very unusual location. A woman in san carlos called the Humane Society and said an owl flew into an open back window of the suv while driving. When she stopped, the owl got spooked and jumped on to the front seat and on to the floor and became trapped behind the dashboard. It took a while but the rescue staff finally got the owl out. They will keep an eye on the owl. Once it is medically cleared, it will be released back into the wild. And that leads us to a wildlife come back story.

A board of Education Committee will vote on a resolution to phase out using fossil fuels by the year 2040 according to the San Francisco examiner. If approved, the full board will vote. It would mean the district would use only Renewable Energy sources for heating and lights, transportation, and food service. Remember andrew bogut, the former warriors center. He signed a deal with the l. A. Lakers. The deal is for one year. He will be paid the veterans minimum of 2. 3 million. He played all 11 nba seasons with milwaukee, dallas and cleveland and suffered the broken leg during the cavaliers debut in february and missed the rest of the season. The rockies got on the board first in the 1st inning. The giants took the lead in the 5th with pitcher johnny on the base. Pence up again hits a walkoff sacrifice win. The giants win 43.

The tigers took the lead in the 5th. But the as were not finished yet. They took the lead back for good in the 8th inning. Here is lowry. A grand slam. Yep. The as win 98. A group of Business Owners and oakland residents rallied yesterday against a proposed new stadium for the as near laney college. They oppose a plan to build the stadium west of lake merritt between interstate 880 and 8th street. The stadium would hurt lake merritt, cause more traffic jams and make existing housing problems even worse. When you come into the community and you displace thousands of people from their homes, change the character of the the home and neighborhoods that they live in, you are attacking that neighborhood. Orhood. A number of other local business groups including the Oakland Chamber of commerce say the economic benefits of the stadium are too valuable to pass up. The time is 7 56. Staying on top of several developing stories. Coming up, the latest from oakland. A deadly Early Morning fire near lake merritt. What investigators are saying now about the fire.

Were in a comfortib range, arent we, steve. We are. I dont think you will say that tomorrow morning. It will be cold out there. Good morning, mike. Good morning, steve. There are reports of drizzle or very light rain. Around here it is mainly a drizzle. I cant find anything on radar. Rain up in the Mendocino County. The low clouds are in place. Tom see at stenson beach. It looks like a dark day. Clever, tommy. Thank you. Low clouds are in place in advance of a system that is enhancing on the north coach. Two thirds of an inch of rain up in Crescent City over the last two days. 60s and 70s. In advance of the system, there it is, moving rapidly now. By tonight, some of this drops south. Some areas get their first rain of the season. Not just Mendocino County but lake county. What is showing up is low level stuff. Drizzle. It has moved in. Sign of a big pattern change for the next couple of days. I think it will take us into friday. 60s on most of the temps. 50s and 60s. Upper 50s to low 60s for some. If it feels mild and balmy, it is. By the time the system arrives tonight, cold air is on the way. Windy at times. 60s and 70s on your temps tomorrow, very cool in the morning. 8 01. We had an issue on the bay bridge. Is that better now. It is better. The crash cleared finally. It was there for an hour and set some people back. Lets talk about the macarthur maze. Things are beginning to improve a little bit here. It looks more like a normal commute would which is taking about 40 minutes to drive from the pinol area. Things are getting a little better as we inch closer to the 9 00 hour. People stuck in traffic in walnut creek and highway 4 is slow. At the toll plaza telephone s the payout point for a lot of people, a 15 to 20minute delay. And 580 is also slow. We also have slow traffic on the peninsula. It caught my attention. Highway 101 the bayshore freeway slowing in burlingame. Back to the desk. In oakland, an Apartment Fire killed one man early this morning. It started around 4 00 this morning blocks away from harrison and 580. Firefighters were able to keep the flames from spreading to other units. Neighbors tell ktvu that the victim is an elderly man who lived alone. His name has not been released. At this point investigators are trying it find out how the fire started. Across the bay, firefighters in San Francisco rescued a man whose house was on fire early this morning. Crews got the call just before 2 00 about a fire on harvard street. When they arrived, it was a two story home fully engulfed in flames. A teenage boy got out and told firefighters that his parents were inside. Crews were able to rescue his father who was taken to the hospital in critical condition. His mother got out on her own. The cause of the fire is under investigation. The death toll from the earthquake in mexico yesterday has increased again. They are seen a huge turnout of volunteers. People willing to help survivors buried in rubble. Allie rasmus is in the studio with more information and video and accounts from people who rode out the earthquake and turned around to help. Yes. Were hearing a lot of accounts of heroism and solidarity after the devastating quake. At this point they know the earthquake killed at least 225 people. That number is expected to rise as there are many unaccounted for that may be trapped in the rubble. The quake happened around 1 00 in the afternoon in mexico city time when people were out and about at work and school. This video shows at this video shows one of the at least 40 buildings that collapsed. I have family in mexico city. Her neighbor says after the quake she and regular people in the neighborhood rushed to the scene and brought shovels and first aid supplies, anything that they could think of to help First Responders there. My aunt and uncle live less than a mile away from the Elementary School that collapsed. These are before and after pictures. The after picture was taken by my familys neighbor. It is pancaked on the bottom floor of the school. 25 bodies have been recovered from the rubble. All but four of them children. My aunt and her neighbor also sent me photos of a nearby shopping area. This is a Movie Theater that is a few blocks away from the home. The pedestrian bridge not even connected to the building anymore. I have personally walked over that pedestrian bridge hundreds of times. Again, this is just a few blocks away from my familys house. We cover a lot of natural disasters in this business. It is strange when you recognize some of the damage from the areas that are so heavily impacted by this. You have had more conversation about the situation there. What are they saying. Yeah. When i immediately when i found out this earthquake happened, i texted my aunt briefly. She said were all okay. I didnt really understand or get a sense how bad the damage was because my communication was limited because the power was out for her and a lot of other folks. It wasnt until she was back online this morning that i was able to text back and forth with her. There are still neighbors still people going out, regular people going out and trying to help, trying to do what they can, you know, with shopping carts to push away the rubble, bringing water to help people there. Just a lot of concern for their fellow neighbors who have been impacted by the collapsed buildings. In those Text Messages did you get a sense how powerful it was and the description of the shaking. Yes. From your family members. Yes. She and my grandfather said it was one of the strongest quakes and one of the scariest experiences they have endured. She said it felt like it lasted for a really long time. It kept shaking and wouldnt stop. It was very strong shaking. People who live in mexico city are used to earthquakes. But obviously none like this. That coincidence that i pointed out earlier, this 7. 1 quake happened 32 years to the day after that devastating 1985 earthquake in mexico city. That was an 8. 1 quake. Back then, 5,000 people died in that quake. And so yesterday morning a lot of people were doing the earthquake drills to commemorate the anniversary of the devastating quake. A couple hours later, another one happened. Allie rasmus, im glad your family is okay. Thank you. Thanks for the pictures and the information. We will bring you live pictures from a rescue attempt. Apparently there are rescuers working to free a girl who may be stuck in rubble here. You see dozens and dozens of people in hard hats. We are understanding there is a little girl trapped in the rubble of this building here. One of many who is reduced to almost nothing. And we will say a lot of police officers, firefighters are in those hard hats. But so too as alley mentioned through her conversations with family members, so are volunteers digging frantically. Not just at this scene, but at collapsed homes and Apartment Buildings throughout mexico city. As well as a lot of attention on that one particular school where we know that children have died but also children remain missing. There is a hope that those children are alive and will be rescued. We will have a live report from an l. A. Based report. We will have that on the 9. Here in the bay area, many people desperately trying to reach their family members and friends in mexico. Yesterday ktvu went to the mexican console at in san jose and talked to people. He says his family is okay but he fears that his friends may be trapped in the rubble. That is difficult because we just dont know. I tried to call all but some people dont answer me. The Mexican Consulate has a 24 7 hotline for those trying to reach loved ones. The number is on the bottom of your screen. Once the damage is assessed, that will determine what kind of help the bay area will send. The quake was weaker but caused more damage to the other earthquake just two weeks ago. It was recorded in the Berkeley Hills by uc scientists at the seismology station. The fault thats are moving in mexico are different than the ones in california. The seismologists say our plates rub side by side and mexicos are one under another. These are earthquakes in the sub ducks zone or in the zone where one plate dives under another one. Ask there is a risk that we both share. Bay area wailands and landfill areas are unstable when an earthquake hits. Mexico city is built in a geological bowl where there was once a lake. It shakes like pudding when there is an earthquake there. Hurricane maria made landfall early this morning as a dangerous category 4 storm, toppling cell phone towers, snapping trees, tearing roofs off of buildings. Widespread flooding is reported. The hurricane dropped 20 inches of rain so farrah cross puerto rico. Some people were able to catch final flights out of the region before the storm hit. After hurricane irma, they were not going to stay around. My first hurricane that i went through was irma. And i really didnt want to stick around for this next one. People in puerto rico, especially in low lying areas were urged to evacuate. It is estimated some 11,000 people are riding out the storm in shelters across the island. A rookie Law Enforcement officer under fire after his gun was stolen from his rental car. Also the conversation continues today for san jose and a proposed google mega campus. How concerned residents can get involved tonight. Sam just snagged it from you canhomegoods. Is frenchie. It reminds him of bennie. Only quieter. You cant have this frenchie. But new finds are always arriving. So you can find something so you, for less. At homegoods. The time is 8 14. The largest agriculture Water District in our state is rejecting governor browns controversial project to send water from the delta through twin tunnels down to southern california. West lands Water District is consider aid vital part of the 16 billion plan. It covers more than 1,000 square miles of farm land in the Central Valley. If it agreed to sign on, it would have contributed more than 3 billion to it. We dont really know the cost of the project. We have been told 16 billion for many years. We dont think that is the actual cost of the even if it is 16 billion, when you look at financing that over the cost of 70 years, the cost is quite high. No one i know has a 70year mortgage. It would bring water to the Central Valley and southern half of our state. The governor says the tunnels would provide a more reliable water ply for residents and hundreds of farms. The price tag keeps going up on building the bullet train in california. Another 50 million has been added because of contract changes approved by the high speed rail authority. Several members of the board say the overruns are hurting the public image of the project. The work has begun. The goal is to link San Francisco to los angeles by high speed rail. Too much high speed happening on the morning commute. Were in the thick of it, arent we, sal. There is not enough high speed happening, unfortunately. Theres a lot of slow speed out there. If youre driving to the bay bridge, we have been watching it extra closely because of the accident on the access ramp. It is gone now but the damage is done. The carpool lanes have improved trying to get to the bay bridge. On 880, this commute in the last ten minutes is slower than it used to be. Getting up to oakland. And you can see the east bay commute in general is beginning to fill in. Not only is it slow on 880, as i just showed you, but slow on 580 out of san leandro all the way to the lake shore curve. Give yourself extra time. Were looking at 680 southbound to pleasanton. It will be slow. If you look at the peninsula, somebody 280 is backed up from 19th avenue all the way down to san bruno. So this is one of the busiest hours we have had today. 8 16. Lets go back to steve with todays weather. I think you enjoyed todays weather forecast, if im not mistaken. It is cool. Mostly cloudy, sal. Many reports of drizzle up to lake county. Rain has actually made it into Mendocino County. William says it is raining lightly at vallejo at 8 00 a. M. Thank you for that. I would love to show you that but a lot is below the radar beam. Light stuff. Mostly cloudy. Mild in advance of the system. By later this afternoon and tonight, the system will sweep through and you will say, oh, theres the cool air. 60s and 70s on the temps. Watch the front. Not too bad. Our first system. Technically still summer. Fall starts this friday. We will get a taste of mid fall here later tonight and tomorrow. And some of that rain has added up. Two thirds of an inch of rain in the last two days up in Crescent City. This is digging itself down from the gulf of alaska. Im impressed because theres not a lot of moisture with it but cool coming in late tonight and tomorrow and some of this rain will make it. Drizzle. You can count drizzle if you want. Im talking about tipping the budget at. 01 or. 02. That has already happened up into fort bragg and ukiah. Drizzle in lake county. If thats not the case and youre getting rain, let me know. The low clouds being pushed in advance of that system as it begins to move if. Mostly cloudy day. Because of the cloud cover and the southerly breeze for some, were on the mild side, 60s. 60s on the peninsula. And 61 in los altos. Look for that cloud cover to continue. And light rain beginning to move in late they are afternoon and tonight. Mainly to the north. Mainly northern Sonoma County and napa county. Morning drizzle. Light rain to the north. Windy at times. Highs in the 60s and 70s. Much cooler to the north. For the first time in i think since june 12th, i dont have any 80s in here. That is not something that we have seen much of this summer. Not today. Some partly sunnies. Mostly cloudy. 60s and 70s and very cool tomorrow morning. You will notice it. All right. Bring the jacket. You got it. Thank you, steve. The time is 8 18. Endangered california condor making a slow come back three decades after it was almost extent. There are 350 condors including 270 in california, arizona utah and mexico. The california condor is one of the biggest birds in the world with a wing span up to 10 feet. Back in 1987, the last remaining 22 condors were captured and taken to zoo to be protected and bred in captivity. The reduced of lead ammunition is credited with the growth. San francisco Appeals Court ruled last month that venture capitalist broke state law when he bought Public Access to the beach after buying it in 2008. The Coastal Commission issued a cease and desist letter yesterday to remove the gate and all signs on the property that says no trespassing and beach closed. Overcoming obstacles and stereotypes. They didnt think we could do the job. It was like no, you cant do it. Well, news flash, yes we can. Up next, how one of the first female firefighters in San Francisco rose through the ranks and the special anniversary that the department is marking.

President trump meets with more World Leaders today as part of the United Nations general assembly. Doug luzader has more on the fallout from his speech yesterday in washington. Reporter critics say the speech was dark. Supporters say it was a moment of truth telling on a world stage. Either way, north korea was really singled out. I think it went well. I said what i had to say. Reporter President Trump leaving his big speech at the United Nations as the reviews were just coming in. He had taken the podium moments earlier, delivering an address that did not mince words, especially when it came to north korea. The United States has great strength and patience but if it is forced to defend itself or its allies, we will have no choice but to totally destroy north korea. North korea. Reporter north koreas delegations at the speech amounted to a single note taker. But will north Korean Leader kim jongun take note himself because trump singled him out with a new nickname. Rocket man is on a Suicide Mission for himself. Reporter not surprisingly, pendants were split on how he calmed out the north. He was right to do that. Using the term rocket manmade it sound like our relations with north korea is a video game. This is serious business. Reporter but with north korea still Testing International limits, even after new rounds of u. N. Sanctions, it is clear that one u. S. Administration after another has fail today contain the threat. Was this speech just more rhetoric, empty threat . That is a question that kim jongun may very well be asking himself this morning. And the president went beyond north korea as well. He also mentioned iran, syria and venezuela. In washington, doug luzader, fox news. Ws.

San francisco will celebrate 30 years of women in the Fire Department, back in 1987, women were allowed to join the academy classes. Some were dubbed as fine signs finest. Feinstein was the mayor at the time and allowed the admission. I talked to Sheila Hunter who was one of the first women to join the department. For someone to tell me that is my faith, i remember one memorable time where a group of guys said we dont think you should be here. We dont think you can do the job. And, you know, along those lines, i thought, okay, ill show you. You. Hunter was also the first africanamerican woman to join the department. And coming up on the 9, i will have more on my visit there to station 33. And fire chief Joanne Hayes White will join us live to discuss 30 years of women in the San Francisco Fire Department.

Typically slow getting out to san rafael. No major issues along the stretch. Also looking at the east shore freeway. Taking about 50 minutes to drive from the carquinez bridge to the macarthur maze. And then the timer starts all over again at the bay bridge for about 20 before you make it on to the span. 880 northbound is slowing down here and there in pockets between lets say Marina Boulevard and downtown oakland. Im showing you sfo. Steve talked about the clouds. No major delays at sfo in and out flights. But later in the day, it tends to stack up. If youre expecting someone or taking a flight yourself, check with the carriers. 8 32. Back to the desk. Thank you, sal. We continue to follow developments from central mexico where the 7. 1 magnitude quake hit yesterday. The head of the Civil Defense agency says 225 people have died. Solders, volunteers, all working to find survivors buried in the rubble. One of the most tragic scenes is a school where 25 bodies including 21 children have been found so far. And Officials Say there are dozens of students missing. Hurricane maria is making a direct hit on puerto rico right now. It made landfall as a category 4 storm earlier this morning. You see here trees being blown and the heavy winds. There are reports of roofs being ripped off, widespread flooding. Damage happening to building as were recording. Thousands were without electricity from hurricane irma. Now it is expected the entire island will lose power because of maria. It is estimated some 11,000 people went to shelters and are waiting out the storm. One person was killed and a second Person Injured in an Early Morning fire at an Apartment Building in oakland. Alex savidge has been at the scene throughout the morning. He is live now on more what youre learning about the man who died, alex. Reporter good morning to both of you. Neighbors knew this man quite well. He was an elderly gentleman who lived by himself in one of the top floor units here at this Apartment Building. It is that corner unit there. You see the smoke damage on the outside of those windows. There fire just tore through the place early this morning. And for some reason, that man was unable to escape his burning unit. The fire started about 4 00 this morning at this complex that is on fairmont avenue. This is right off of interstate 580 at the harrison street exit. Oakland firefighters say they got here this morning after getting the 911 calls. And when they arrived, they found the victim of this fire out on the floor, just outside of the door to his apartment. And fire firefighters say he was unable to be saved. The building was evacuated as crews put out the fire quickly. They were able to keep it contained to that one building of origin. I spoke with one neighbor who didnt want to show her face but she described the disturbing scene this morning as fire raced through that mans apartment. I heard a lot of yelling. Like not normal argument yelling. So i opened my door and he was engulfed in flames. And i went and got my fire extinguisher, woke my mom up and told her to get up. I tried to go spray it. It was too hot for me to get close. I commenced to get my mom and dogs out of the house. Reporter now, there was another neighbor, a woman who did have to be taken to the hospital and treated for smoke inhalation this morning. But she is expected to be okay. Now, according to neighbors, the man who died in this fire was in his 70s. Again, he lived alone. He has not yet been officially identified by authorities. Firefighters do tell us that there were working smoke alarms in the building. Part of the reason that everyone else was able to get out. Obviously a full investigation is now idea way by the oakland Fire Department to try to figure out exactly what caused this fire and then to try to get a sense of why it was that this gentleman was not able to make it out. Alex savidge live in oakland. Thank you. San francisco sheriffs deputy has been fired after his gun was stolen from a rental car over the weekend. It was taken from the trunk of the rental car that was parked on san bruno avenue. The sheriff says it appears that the gun was not properly stored in a lockbox as required by department policy. A separate state law took effect requiring Law Enforcement officers to secure their weapons in a lockbox or in a trunk. In perhaps firing this deputy, it sends a signal and a message that it wont be tolerated, certainly by the San Francisco sheriff and their department. State senator jerry mill offered the piece of legislation following homicides in San Francisco after guns were stolen from federal agents. San Francisco Police will continue to implement reforms recommended last year by the u. S. Department of justice despite changes in the federal program under the trump administration. San franciscos police chief William Scott remains committed to the reforms. Even though Jeff Sessions has moved resources away from policing efforts. Last year under the obama administration, the department of justice reviewed the San Francisco Police Department following police shootings. It had 272 recommendations for reform. Chief scott says the department will continue implementing the recommendations. San franciscos board of supervisors is encouraging the citys recreation and Parks Department to change the name of a favorite Gathering Place in the city. Supervisor peskin says it is not to dishonor herman but the renewal is seen as the destruction of vibrant japanese and africanamerican communities. There was an online petition started to rename the plaza. It has gained 14,000 signatures.
