They say the church will have new life. Water from fire hoses dripping from the roof that caved in like tears falling over the large crucifix still standing, pristine. Untouched by these flames that roared through this Century Old Church on sunday. A fire so hot it devoured the roof, collapsing the two spires. Through it all the cross survived.

After several injuries from trees falling during storms or even just light rain, really, in San Francisco, there is a move now under way to change who is responsible. One supervisor wants to set aside millions of dollars for the city to take over care and inspection of those streetside trees. Abc 7 News Reporter Lyanne Melendez is live at city hall with this story. Reporter you wont see this on the ballot until late 2015 early 2016 but the idea is for the city to maintain the trees and not homeowners. Now, for that, you need of course millions of dollars and the department of public works has been cutting what it spends on its Maintenance Programs of trees. Now, we want to show you, this is what happens when you dont properly maintain these trees. Just a few days ago, several ficus trees fell or their branches broke off after a day of rain. Some of these trees are old, they are topheavy and weak. Public works has only ten arborists to take care of all the sidewalk and park trees in the city. So homeowners are usually responsible for maintaining trees in front of their houses. San franciscos supervisor is working to hammer out a plan that would allocate between 20 million and 30 million a year to maintain and plant more trees along with repairing those sidewalks damaged by these trees. We have dedicated funding for trees that would be explicitly conditioned on the city taking back full responsibility for street tree maintenance and for repairing sidewalk damage caused by trees. That should not be the responsibility of homeowners. Reporter a working group would decide where the money would come from. Perhaps a parcel tax. Then it would be up to the city Attorneys Office to put it on the ballot. Now, keep in mind just to replace one of those ficus trees costs the city between 500 and 1500. Live in San Francisco, Lyanne Melendez, abc 7 news. Right now, windy conditions have firefighters in Southern California keeping an eye for sudden brush fires.

Heres a nice view from the rooftop camera looking southeastward across the embarcadero and over the bay. This is these are the forecast features, i should say. It will be chilly in the inland valleys again tonight. Maybe not quite as cold as last night but pretty chilly. High clouds and sun tomorrow and chances of rain wednesday through saturday. I will go to the radar satellite composite image showing the next system approaching us may bring us some rainfall. Looks like we have a dome of dry air that is that system is going to meet as it pushes inland. Lets take a look at our forecast animation starting 5 00 tomorrow morning, at which point we will still have just a few passing high clouds but clouds will increase during the day tomorrow and then into wednesday morning, looks like a chance of showers developing mainly in the north bay, and this doesnt look like much of a rainmaking system but it will produce some wet spots into the midday Hours Wednesday and into wednesday night, light spotty showers. We will see it all tapering off. Rainfall totals by wednesday night, 11 00, will be mainly up to a quarter inch in the north bay mountains where we expect most of the rain to fall, and the remainder of the bay area may see anywhere from no measurable rain to only five hundredths of an inch. It wont be significant at all unless it starts to intensify. Current indications there it wont be that big a deal. 11 00 wednesday night, into thursday afternoon, we have more chances of rain. Thursday into saturday, saturday morning looks like another mainly north bay or just below the golden gate rainfall event for us. That tapers off saturday night so the weather is unsettled for the next few days but doesnt look like we can expect a lot of rain on those days when we do get the rain. Overnight, look for mid 30s in the north bay valleys, 35 at napa, 36 at santa rosa and upper 40s most other locations. Then tomorrow, increasing high clouds filtered sunshine, we call it. High temperatures range from mid 60s at the coast to upper 60s to near 70 right around the bay. Upper 60s to maybe some low 70s inland but it wont be very mild tomorrow, just a little milder than today. Remainder of the week, it will be cooler than tomorrows weather with those chances of showers on wednesday, rain likely thursday. Mostly cloudy and dry on friday, chance of rain again on saturday and partly cloudy on sunday and mainly sunny on monday. The temperatures will stay in rather steady range. Tomorrow could be the mildest day of the next seven. Dan and ama . Thank you, spencer. Wipes and waste. The disposable wipes that help you clean have a messy secret.
