New this morning the Orinda City Council unanimously approved a 45 day moratorium on shortterm housing rentals we are a host wont be on the property. Thats after last weeks shooting at a Halloween Party that left five people dead. Last Night City Council meeting was packed with people, most common for limiting or banning shortterm rentals but a few people said the rules may need changes but over all they support the rentals. My husband died suddenly from surgery. The citys passing of the short term rental ordinance created an opportunity for me to generate income to support my father, daughter and myself. Its insane how many parties these people have. Its very uncomfortable to have a constant stream of strangers coming in and out of the neighborhood. The Orinda City Council member said they will approve the urgency moratorium on Short Term Rentals at their meeting in two weeks. After its officially approved, the city council will have up to two years to impose a permanent ordinance. Investigators are not releasing a motive for the shooting at the party but sources tell us at ktvu news there had recently been a fight involving two groups. One of the groups is based in San Francisco. The other in marin city. That night there were people from both groups at the Halloween Party in orinda. That party had been advertised as an airbnb mansion party. We are told several people in the kitchen area pulled out guns and started shooting. Brandon duckworth said he counted at least 20 gunshots as he ran out the front door. You go from having fun, smiling and talking to a girl to survival.

Eventually a police dog was sent in but the motel room was empty. The Sheriffs Office believes salazar may still be in the area. When someone faces charges like this, even bigger crimes or something, they think theyre automatically fleeing to other parts of the country or other countries and often times we find them right here in Monterey County. Authorities are still searching for the other escaped inmates, 21yearold santos fonesca. They escaped sunday morning for the Monterey County jail by cutting a 22 inch hole in the bathroom ceiling.

This doesnt feel safe, first of all. Other communities we spoke with say its inconvenient but they are accustomed to occasional delays. And you have to take a look at this. Some riders with a lady when a miniature horse boarded a train from oakland to San Francisco. Photos posted to twitter yesterday show a white and brown horse bart confirms the horse is a Service Animal in the owner got permission to bring it on board. Some riders took two social media sing the horse made their day. Speaking of horses, happening today, horseback riding is back at Golden Gate Park in San Francisco. Regular horseback riding has not been available at the park since 2001 even though there was a brief Pilot Program in 2017. The new program at chaparral ranch will have a six month trial run. Department officials will review it and consider extending it. The ranch offers trail rides, childrens pony rides. Horse camp and even riding lessons. The ranch will be open wednesdays through sundays between 10 am and 5 pm. Some of the first signs of the Holiday Season appeared today in San Francisco. The outdoor iceskating rink at union square and the embarcadero open today. The san rafael outdoor rink also opens today. Walnut creek and concords outdoor rinks will open on friday with the icebreaker for the rink in san mateo opening on saturday. By the end of the month there will be 13 open air rinks in the bay area along with the eight permanent rinks. It seems a little warm to open the rinks. You have to work extra hard to keep them cold. Lets check in with sal for a look at the commute. We do have slow traffic already as you may imagine. We are getting closer to 6 00 and 580 westbound has slowing coming onto q2 05 which is not unusual and a little bit of slowing on 580 well before the 205 interchange heading out to livermore looks okay and no problems to Castro Valley. We do have a problem i want to check in on 80 westbound coming up to genesee street. There was a motorcycle accident locking lanes with First Responders on the scene. 37 is slow getting away from vallejo heading over toward peers point and on 37 and at the bay bridge we have a little bit of a backup. The metering lights are on. And you can expect to wait 10 15 minutes at the toll plaza. What about the weather . Thats a good question. I will get right to it. We have a lot of low clouds in place. Yesterday was fog and it was way down here but today its up here. The base is a little higher but still some reduced visibility. Low clouds. Higher clouds above as well. Morning fog. The fog should be decreasing as we head toward the weekend. Any rain . Not for the next 710 days. Maybe around the 20th. A couple things going on. A whopper of a typhoon, category 5 them out in the pacific. It will not impact land but it will start moving north and begin to recurve. Thats a lot of energy coming across the pacific. Something to watch as we go across the next 710 what we ca which would be west to the east. East to key west. Excuse me. Instead of north to south which is what we are in right now which is blocking everything. We have High Pressure parked over us although there is a low speaking and underneath for southern california. No rain there but it has enhanced the onshore breeze for us. Some rain has made it into arizona and new mexico but not for us. You see the low clouds have ramped up in the higher clouds coming across giving us a mostly cloudy morning. Different than yesterday. Visibility is okay. Not as bad as yesterday but santa rosa is a quarter mile. Petaluma, three. After that its 810. Half moon bay at six and oakland was at 10. It looks better so far today because the bases are up. 90 humidity to 100 . That is the one big twist compared to a week ago when it was really dry. Cooler today under mostly sunny skies. 60s and 70s. Upper 50s near the coast that is a big fog bank for this time of year. 40s and 50s on the temperatures. Some temperatures have come up as low clouds have moved in. 43, menlo park atherton, 42. Palo alto, 49. You see the cloud cover over us. A cloudy morning with temperatures in the 40s and 50s and it looks like that will burn off and its a dry forecast for the next week to 10 days. High pressure is parked here. It will eventually change but does nothing for us anytime soon. At least its different than what we had a couple days ago. 50s and 60s on the coast and bay. 70s inland. It looks like the 80s will be back toward friday and saturday. We are now learning that eight children actually survived a deadly ambush in mexico.
