Transcripts For KTVU KTVU Mornings On 2 At 6am 20240713

The worst but it really has been a relatively quiet night for the most part. The wind really hasnt been that bad with the exception of some gusts here and there since weve been here since about 4 am. The National Weather Service Canceled a high wind advisory because wind below 2500 feet has died down but, again, still under a red flag warning. Wind is Strong Enough and humidity is low enough to create critical fire weather conditions. Spot fires that can turn into bigger fires are possible. Firefighters will finally get a break after an intense week on the front lines because the wind well let up after today. That does not mean the area is safe. Fire could be burning inside trees coming even if we dont see it. Cal fire says they can fall, roll down the hill and start another fire. We did see firefighters pulled off onto the side of the road earlier spraying water on a smoking tree. Another issue is how dry everything around here is. Vlive fuel moisture up there is a 50 . 60 is critical so its well below the critical threshold. Thats why the spot fires are so important to the firefighters, so they can find those and actively get them out quickly so we dont have other issues. Weve seen an impressive ground attack on the kincade fire. Since the start of the fire, 27 helicopters have dropped 2. 1 million gallons of water and an air tanker fleet dropped 1 million gallons of retardant. Cal fire decreed a map preconceived evacuation notices for napa, lake in Sonoma County. Cal fire does hope to have the fire fully contained by november 7. Out here live you can take a look at the windy conditions. We are just off highway 128 in the healdsburg area and it hasnt really been that bad considering the wind we saw the last couple of days but am not sure if you can see just how intensely these embers are flying into the air across the road. This area has been burned over already but if this window really kicks up more than it already is and these embers continue to fly, there is a chance of spot fires and spot fires can be maintained and put out pretty quickly but if there are no firefighters around to do that, that is obviously an issue. There are firefighter station done highway 128 in both directions so we will keep an eye on this area. If a spot fire does start, we will of course let those firefighters know. They have been working day in and day out for a week now to get this fire under control. Sara zendehnam, ktvu fox 2 news. Before you go, where exactly are you . Steve paulson is trying to pinpoint where you were standing. We see the wind blowing your hair. Reporter . I dont know the exact location. Were just off of highway 128. I can send steve a pin drop of our location. Its tough in these areas because they are more rural. If you look at the map it doesnt give you an exact address or street. I will definitely let steve know so he can get the wind conditions out here. That helps us and you stay safe. Thank you. Definitely looks windy out there. I know theres a lot of people in the windsor in santa rosa and healdsburg concerned that the fire is moving in the direction. Its going in that direction. The wind is used, northeast. Its going from lake county back toward Sonoma County. That is the east, northeast direction. The wind at the valley for isnt that bad but when you get up high you can find gusts at 40 Miles Per Hour. That is mount st. Helena just shy of 40. Mount diablo has been coming down. The same with mount tamalpais. Oakland hills is gone up a little bit at 31. Pretty good gusts and the Healdsburg Hills. 37 Miles Per Hour around 2500 feet. The critical thing is yes there are gusts at 40 but the 10 humidity from mount st. Helena and west. Ridge ranch, 9 . Geyserville ranch, 28 and 61 . Healdsburg hill, northeast and 8 . Up around 2500 feet, the wind speed is still gusting but its the humidity which is extremely low because everything is coming in out of the east, northeast. That is the direction the fire will start to go back toward. Lake county as well. You see an easterly component blowing. Not that strong but humidity at critical levels. North, northeast and the Oakland Hills and the same in around county. And the airflow is taking everything toward the coast where the humidity in Half Moon Bay is at 9 and youre seeing 10 and teens on humidity from fairfield all the way back over to sfo. Its higher at petaluma, novato in santa rosa. 32 in santa rosa. 57 at montero. 53, oakland. 54 in albany. At the airport, 41. There are some wild swings on the temperatures. Even in palo alto. Toward the bay, 50 degrees. Fremont, 51. In montero, 59. San mateo at 43. Once again things are calming down slowly but its really cold air all the way down into the desert southwest. This is an impressive system. The wind will tail off. High fire danger was looking at it he will remain. 60s and 70s on the temperatures. Sal is looking at his green and he will tell us im looking at the latest from an accident. Northbound 101. Northbound 101 coming up on in redwood city at woodside road. Several lanes are blocked with an injury crash. Its early enough in the morning for you to avoid 101 altogether and use 280. 280 is doing well. Theres an accident in burlingame on northbound 101. Two spots here on the bayshore freeway that could be easily avoided by getting on northbound 280 instead. That looks great and is a lot less traffic. Into the east bay we do have traffic getting up to the bay bridge. That is backed up for a 1015 minute wait. There is low traffic there. The east shore freeway looks good. There is a lot of slow traffic on the Altamont Pass approach. Overnight wind is not a strong as feared but fire crews are telling us that situation remains fluid. This fire is obviously proven to us that it is stubborn and if it wants to keep pushing to the west. So far firefighters have been successful in preventing the flames from moving toward santa rosa, healdsburg and windsor. That is still a concern. The air attack has been critical in fighting the fire. Planes and helicopters have dropped 1 million gallons of retardant and 2 million gallons of water. They kept dumping them. The working. Its like, maybe it will only go there, no its not. Maybe its kind of, its like you losing a game of chess progressively. There are now nearly 5000 firefighting personnel on the scene. Cal fire estimates it will have full containment but not until november 7. Schools in Sonoma County will be closed again today, almost all of them will stay closed until at least monday. Because of the Fire Evacuation orders, the bad air quality and the power shutoffs. And napa county, classes in the Calistoga School District are canceled for the rest of the week. But all other schools will be open. Most marin county schools will be closed again today and lake  county schools will stay closed until they have power back on. Welcome news for tens of thousands of pg e customers. A few hours ago the utility cancel the Public Safety power shut off in alameda, contra costa, santa clara, santa cruz and san mateo counties. Because of favorable wind conditions. Allison rodriquez is live were services not yet been restored. Reporter good morning. Parts of Sonoma County are still in the dark. For example this stripmall we are in now is still light out and many businesses have signs like this one up, letting customers know they also do not have power. We wanted to show you our drive in. Its pitch black other than a few car lights illuminating the road lace. Street lights and building lights are out. The only lights on we saw were at the police and fire station. This latest round of power shutoffs started yesterday and even though pg e did cancel the shut off for five counties, more than half 1 million customers are still without power affecting portions of 22 counties. Pg e says right now Sonoma County has more than 86,000 customers without power. Some of those folks have been without power since saturday. We heard from pg e officials last night who hope to get power back up later this morning. At this time we anticipate being able to recommend and all clear for areas across Northern California impacted by this weather event by 8 am tomorrow, a potentially earlier for some. Reporter high wind sparked multiple smaller fires of the weekend. Despite that run the power outages. Pg need to convert more than 55 damage reports were related to that wind event. As temperatures do start to dip down thomas Sonoma County officials have opened four Warming Centers across the county. We have listed those exact addresses on our ktvu twitter. You can see its very chilly this morning. Those without power need that warmth. They can head to those locations. Look for those spots and twitter. Live in, totti, allison rodriquez, ktvu fox 2 news. Dozens of low income seniors and marin county have been without electricity since saturday. Some are disabled. Trapped on the third floor at Bennett House in fairfax. They do not have hot water or heat. Some are turning on their stoves to stay warm even though they have been warned not to do so. The tenants say they have asked management for a generator prior to the outage but did not receive one. Maybe the elevator could work so that the people who are trapped upstairs who are disabled and very old can get downstairs if they need to get out. My big fear here is a fire. Ive been oxidant dependents ive had to rely on tanks being delivered with the power shut off and its very frightening and scary. The manager of Bennett House has not commented on the power outage and we do not yet know when pg e will turn electricity back on in that area. New this morning in long beach, police there still searching for the gunman who opened fire in a deadly shooting at a backyard halloween party. Three people were killed last night, nine were wounded and some of the wounded have life threatening injuries. They are also conflicting reports about what happened. One woman whose family lives in that house said the shooting started after someone climbed over a brick wall that separates her house from the rest of the neighborhood. But there is another witness report saying it was a driveby shooting. Santa rosa firefighters are cleaning up after an Early Morning house fire that started just before 3 30 am. Along mission boulevard and the Rincon Valley neighborhood. The response to the fire was larger than normal because the Department Already had extra engines and firefighters on standby because of the red flag warning in effect. Fire crews wanted to be prepared in case the kincade fire started to spread. A small fire that gets going could turn into a confrontation if the wind were to kick up. Were still under those conditions so we want to make sure anything that starts up, that we really knock it out quickly and effectively and the way to do that is by adding personnel such as engines and ladder trucks. No injuries have been reported. No one was home at the time of the fire. The power is out in the neighborhood as part of the Public Safety power shutoff. Fire investigators are trying to determine how that fire started. Still ahead. New this morning. A man who observed the autopsy on disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein now suggesting epstein may have been murdered. People in the south bay are collecting donations for fire victims. What one Business Owner has collected so far and how you might be able to help. Bay area bridges still look all right but if youre driving to the peninsula, there is a freeway you should avoid. Not that hard to figure out. Theres only two major ones over there. We will tell you whats happening. A very warm. Wendy for some. Cold for others. The warmest temperatures are on the coast. It takes a village to raise to build a bridge. To throw a baseball. To throw yourself into the unknown. To lose fear, to create hope.

The free service is set to continue into next week. Have you fixed everything on the roads yet . From our friends come off for our friends on the peninsula have advice. Use 280 instead of 101. Because there is a problem. Im glad you asked that question. What problem is there . We can keep playing this game forever. Northbound 101. I will put it on the screen. Northbound 101 at woodside road there is a crash blocking several lanes and traffic is backing up. There was also a crash in burlingame which wasnt as serious but this one in redwood city is 30 serious on northbound 101. The best advice i have is to use 280 instead. 280 looks pretty good all the way up the peninsula. Stay on 280 as far as you are going and avoid 101. Southbound is not as effective but im willing to bet it will be because of people looking on the other side. Northbound 101 at woodside road. Lets go to the east bay and i want to talk about 880. Traffic looks pretty good. At the bay bridge toll plaza we do have a decent commute. Its backed up for a 1015 minute delay but thats about all.

Welcome back to mornings on 2. No questions about the death of Jeffrey Epstein. Upper forensic pathologist tells foxes the autopsy is more consistent with homicidal strangulation than suicide. The doctor is a former new york city medical examiner and was hired by epsteins brother. He observed the autopsy and said epstein had two fractures on the left and right side of his leathernecks. He said those fractures are extremely unusual and suicidal hangings. Epstein was found dead in his jail cell august 10 and was awaiting trial on federal sex trafficking charges involving underage girls.

The resolution to approve the impeachment inquiry process is scheduled for a full vote in the house tomorrow. 6 27 am.

Good morning. Thank you for joining us here on mornings on 2. Wednesday, october 30. Im dave clark. Im pam cook. We do begin with pg es Public Safety power shutoff. The utility canceled the planned outages in alameda, contra costa, santa clara, santa cruz and san mateo counties. Overnight wind was not as strong as predicted. That prompted the National Weather service to cancel the wind advisory in most areas. Pg e says no homes or businesses in those counties lost power during the latest round of shutoffs, however, about 500,000 customers in 22 counties lost power in the fourth Public Safety power shutoff of the month. And firefighters are thankful to get a little break from the weather as they battle the kincade fire. The forecast for strong, overnight wind turned out to be not as bad as expected. Cal fire says that may need ground crews made progress against the fire. Last night the latest report showed flames have burned 119 square miles and was 15 contained. More than 4800 firefighters from across the western u. S. Are battling the kincade fire. As Sara Zendehnam was driving outside the kincade fire lines, she came across a downed tree on the highway. You are there on highway 128 fax reporter thats right. Highway 128 in unincorporated Sonoma County. We were driving down 128 and had to stop because of this. There was a huge tree that was still smoldering. The trunk is still smoldering and it fell across highway 128. Fire crews have been out here and have made very Good Progress , quickly removing the tree. They are cutting it up right now and removing it. 128 is shut down in this area regardless so its not like any residents could go through the area but it is a route for emergency vehicles and you can see how many crews are out here now attending to this tree. Of course this is a big concern with all of the fire ravaged trees in the area. Like i was mentioning 30 minutes ago, something cal fire said is these trees that have fire inside of them, even if you dont see it on the inside, they could fire inside. They could fall, roll down hills and spark other fires. Thankfully this is not on a hill, fl across the roadway and nobody appears to be injured in this area. We dont know when it happened, just in the last 45 minutes or so because we drove through the area around 5 30 am and this tree was not down. And last 15 or 20 minutes, this is what we are seeing here. We are on highway 128 foot ranch road is the nearest intersection. And this tree that is still smoldering at the trunk fell across the roadway. Fire crews are out here cutting it up and trying to clear the roadway. Just one of many hazards in this fire ravaged area. Sara zendehnam, thank you for the update from the scene. It still windy but not as windy as it was forecast during the night and what firefighters were fearing this morning. The wind has definitely been a big problem. Allie rasmus, no weve had a red flag warning. Tell us where you are and what you are seeing out there . Reporter were in santa rosa at base camp for the 4800 firefighters and other personnel fighting the kincade fire. You can see a lot of activity here. A shift change is about to get underway and usually between 7 00 and 7 30 am is when they have their briefing. Weve seen a lot of fire trucks coming through to park at the base camp and overhear you see a lot of people in uniforms heading into the meeting area. This is the Sonoma County fairgrounds and there is good news for this firefight. There were no major flareups overnight, at least not on the western flank or in the Sonoma County section of the fire. No new evacuation orders. People who are evacuated are ordered to remain in place. The Sonoma County Sheriffs Office is not given the green light for anyone to return home yet. People who did not evacuate in santa rosa, we spoke to some this morning to say the weather condition and the fact the wind is not howling last night helped calm some of their fears. About five seconds of panic and then you realize youve been packed for almost a week so everything is loaded up and everything is ready to roll out. So, we are good. Unfortunately we are all getting good at this though from two years ago. Reporter back out here live you are looking at the activity at base camp for the kincade fire. This is at the Sonoma County fairgrounds in santa rosa. We have seen a lot of firefighters and trucks heading into the grounds this morning to get ready for the next round of this firefight, the next shift is about to get underway. The weather conditions, the good news is the wind was not as strong as expected last night and even this morning. We have not felt any wind really at all. The air is still and cold. There is still air red flag fire warning out there because of the very low humidity as steve has been telling us. Allie rasmus, ktvu fox 2 news. Speaking of steve. He is here. Were talking about the wind was not as bad as expected but there is still went out there and its moving in the direction of healdsburg, windsor in santa rosa. Humidity is still in the Single Digits and teens. That east wind, even though its not as strong still makes for very dry conditions. We take a look and some of the Higher Elevations. Temperatures today about as close as they can be. Coast, bay and inland. The Half Moon Bay airport is east, northeast at 40 Miles Per Hour and 8 humidity. On the coast, 8 humidity. Mount st. Helena has been coming down on the wind speed. They had 43. Mount diablo has come way down. The Oakland Hills Still Holding around 3031. Some of the gusts have been anywhere from 2637. Now 40 at Half Moon Bay. Konocti come easter 26. 11 humidity. 8 , 9 humidity, therein lies the problem even the wind speeds are not that long. The humidity is low and the wind direction is mainly out of the east or northeast. Not for all. There is a variable for a few. West for a few but in lake county its almost all easterly coming across. Not that strong but humidity in the Single Digits or teens. It is very dry. You can see the airflow, everything is coming across. Fairfield, dew points can go negative. The dew point in fairfield is 3. Not much to copy air mass to get condensation. Humidity at 11 . 12 and conquer. 11 in oakland. 26 at sfo. To the north its much higher so its really dry for us. 40s, 30s to mid 20s and 50s on the temperatures. Windsor, 32. Napa, 55. There are some low 30s and water temperatures are also in the 50s. 5255. Highs today in the 70s. The wind will tail off through the day and this looks like the last of the events as far as the red flag and its cold all the way down to the desert. 30s in las vegas. 70s on the coast, the bay and inland. Sal is here. Lets start with the peninsula. Here is something easy you can do to avoid slow traffic in the silicon valley. Northbound 101, woodside road, clearing a crash and you can avoid it by using 280. Let me say on that map. Northbound 1013 redwood city slows outside of menlo park after redwood city. Use 280 instead. Lets talk about the east bay commute or traffic will be okay as you can see. There was a collision northbound 880 at high street. I dont forget affecting traffic that much. I was expecting more. I guess its just not a big deal. Westbound bay bridge is all right. Lets go back to the east bay. Highway 4, bay point, traffic is a little slow and 680 slow through walnut creek. 80 westbound as you drive toward the macarthur maze, there was a crash at central. That affected traffic a little bit. Not a major crash. Its on the shoulder and traffic is going to be a little slow from el sobrante. 6 39 am. Evacuations because of the trend to continue this morning for parts of sonoma and lake county. Take a look at the map of the affected area. The red section is where the fire is still burning. The purple area shows where there are mandatory evacuation orders and that includes healdsburg and windsor. The blue zone indicates where people have been told they can go back home but they are also told they are still in an evacuation warning and they should be ready to evacuate again, fast, if necessary. San francisco firefighters will be back on the fire lines this morning joining other departments in the battle against the kincade fire. Earlier this week we showed you video from inside the fire engines driving into the flames. The crew is part of the 22 member strike team from the city. He took a 24 hour break yesterday and thats one Heather Holmes got a chance to speak with the lieutenant. In this video you can see the crew driving on chalk hill road in the northeast part of healdsburg on their way to protect homes in the area. We were on our way to a neighborhood that we were assigned to protect. We had to basically drive through the fire front to get a little ahead of it to get to that neighborhood. It was difficult to navigate because there was so much smoke and fire. It was challenging. You could fill the radiant heat inside the cab of the rig. We just try to get through it as best as we could and get to our assignment. They drove through the flames for 10 minutes before spending 24 hours on those fire lines. The lieutenant has been a firefighter for 24 years and says this was the most extreme fire conditions he has ever faced. We have all seen this photo of a chicagobased couple on their wedding day in one country i dont know if you remember this. They will come at you and i hear the story behind the photo. We hope youll join us later today on the 9 when we chat with the photographer about capturing this moment. That is today on the 9. Governor gavin newsom will be in the north bay today to see firsthand the areas affected by wildfires and the Public Safety power shutoffs. First the governor will go to a food bank and Resource Center in santa rosa at 10 30 am. Then this afternoon he will meet people in American Canyon who have been affected by pg es Public Safety power shutoff. The governor was in Southern California yesterday meeting with firefighters and people affected by the getty fire. Pg e customers who lost power earlier this month will be compensated. 738,000 customers were affected during the october night shot off. Pg e ceo announced last night customers will receive a credit on their bill. The utility website was frequently unavailable to customers seeking information. In addition, call centers were overwhelmed and the company is acknowledging their communications issues. They will begin process of crediting customers for this disruption. This is significant because utilities in the past have never credited customers for these disruptions. The credit is only for the october night outage. Pg e says residential customers will get 100. Small Business Owners will receive 250 as the governor requested. No word on any reimbursement for the outage this week. A San Francisco nurse and her friend still missing after the private plane they were in vanished last week. 27year old Kayla Rodriguez and 43year old Justin Winfrey took off thursday evening from novato. They told friends they were heading to a Haunted House up north but gave no other details about their plans. There is a report they were seen having dinner at a restaurant in the town of shelter cove and humboldt county. One witness said he saw a light plane leave the Shelter Cove Airport in the dark. There are reports there plane disappeared from radar a short time later. Its a game changer for college athletes. Coming up, the key move made by the ncaa that will allow athletes to make some money.

The Agency League wants each division to have the new rules in place almost immediately but no later than january 2021. Last month Governor Newsom signed the, fair pay to play act the legislation takes effect in 2023 and allows athletes in california to make money from their likeness.
