A major earthquake has struck tonight in central america. No word yet on the extent of the damage. The usgs says the 7. 3 magnitude quake was centered just off the coast you can see here of the nicaragua and el salvador border. This triggered a tsunami warning. Sirens along the nicaraguan coast. But there are no reports yet of any injuries or damage. This quake was felt across central america. The usgs also says the bay area specifically is overdue for a big one. Its been 25 years since the loma prieta earthquake. A new report released today revealed the part of the bay area that could get hit the hardest during that next big one. Nbcs jean elle is in San Francisco this evening with details. Jean . Reporter raj, this new research makes notices like this earthquake warning even more urgent.

Napa is still rebuilding after an earthquake jolted the north bay in august. Now new Research Says the bay area is in for more shaking. There are three that we can say are due or overdue. Of the ones that are in the urban area. Reporter usgs scientist gene lienkaemper says the heyward, the rogers creek and green valley faults are expected to deliver major earthquakes in the next 30 years. Hes been working with the San Francisco state project. Their new research is published in the bulletin of the Seismological Society of america. The team monitors the surface movement, or creep of the faults. Lienkaemper says while there is earthquakefree creep on the earths surface, below the surface the faults are not moving. Theyre locked. Creating tension. Some frictional surface down there is getting more and more strained, and eventually it has a limit to its strength and it will break. Reporter lienkaemper says the seismic record indicates the breaking point on all three faults is near and extensive damage is likely. If the green valley fault is within striking distance of the delta and sensitive structures on the delta, lots of levies, aqueducts. Reporter with the 25th anniversary of the loma prieta earthquake approaching, San Francisco is pressuring Property Owners to retrofit buildings in danger of collapse in an earthquake.

The victim has yet to be identified. Well, from bad to worse. A san jose man is dealing with more than anyone should really have to. First his wife is diagnosed with a debilitating disease. And then both of his cars and his wallet are stolen while hes visiting his wife at the hospital. And complicating it all the man drives for a living and needs those cars. Nbc bay areas ian colt spoke with the victim to tell us how hes coping. I woke up this morning and i didnt know what to do. Reporter the last few days have been horrible for Daniel Stewart and his family. On saturday his wife, jennifer, was diagnosed with a rare form of m. S. Then yesterday as he was visiting her at Good Samaritan hospital in san jose lost his car key. I figured if someone had recovered the keys then more than likely they would try and steal the car. So thats pretty much what happened. Reporter stewart says his chevy cruze seen in this photo was missing and the key to his other chevy cruze at home was on the same keychain. My mom was here with our kids. I said come the out front and see if the other cars here and it was gone. Reporter the cars not just transportation for stewart.

He says he last used one of these credit cards at this chevron in los gatos. Stewart has filed insurance claims but is now broke, so hes asking for help. Its not about catching the people so much. Its about recovering the cars. Its not about the value of the car. Its about what the car enables us as a family to do. Reporter tonight around 8 00 a person saw a car a few miles from stewarts home parked in an awkward position. I felt it was suspicious enough to call and report it to the police. The caller provided the license plate number of the vehicle, which we then verified was one of the outstanding stolen vehicles from the victim at Good Samaritan hospital. Reporter so tonight stewart has at least one of his cars back. Hoping his luck is starting to change. In san jose, ian cole, nbc bay area news. This is huge. This is a very, very big incident. New questions tonight about the safety of land at Hunters Point. Can the cleanup be trusted . Im Investigative Reporter vicky nguyen. We have the exclusive results of an internal report exposing serious concerns about radiation where homes are being built. And good evening. Im meteorologist jeff ranieri. Were tracking a storm system getting closer to california. Well talk about the rain prospects from this storm in just a few minutes. Also, fighting autism with broccoli. How the vegetable may help improve symptoms. Were back in a moment. So is it prime real estate or a Health Hazard . Hunters point in San Francisco is scheduled to become one of the biggest developments in the nation, filled with homes and shops. Weve obtained an internal report from a contractor exposing how it mishandled radioactive soil and falsified data. Investigative reporter vicky nguyen joins us with exclusive details. Vicky. Reporter raj and jess, some are calling this report as close to a smoking gun as you can get. In its own words Cleanup Company tetra tech details how it was caught faking soil samples to say radioactive soil was clean when it may not have been. This latest bombshell adds to mounting concerns that the cleanup at Hunters Point has been botched and that areas cleared of radiation are not. This is what Hunters Point looks like from here in ted park. 700 acres of prime waterfront land. What you cant see from here is the sites nuclear history. For more than two decades after world war ii this was the location of the countrys Largest Nuclear research lab. Its now being remediated to make way for hightech offices, shops, and 10,000 homes. But can the billiondollar base cleanup be trusted . Nbc bay area obtained this 2014 internal report completed by tetra tech. Thats the company in charge of clearing Hunters Point of radiological contamination. In the report tetra tech admits to the mishandling of soil samples and submitting falsified data to the navy. Basically, it was faked. Reporter bert bauers is a radiolombical Safety Consultant who used to work for tetra tech at Hunters Point. They basically collected a false sample and then analyzed it and then put a report out that had false results. Reporter according to the report in october 2012 the navy discovered tetra tech handed in soil sample results that were inconsistent with results from previous samples collected in the same area. The soil was supposed to come from parcel e underneath the site of a former lab used for radiation testing on animals. Tetra techs own investigation found the soil was actually collected from locations different from the one specified. Areas that had already been remediated and tested clean for radioactive contamination. There was such gross negligence. Reporter the report reveals the contractor retested 12 additional areas on parcel c and e and found several locations had elevated levels of radiation. These were samples that never should have been submitted to the navy as clean. If the navy had not caught this, it would be very, very high levels of contaminated soil, radioactive soil in the ground, where the plans are in place to build homes, the general public to live in, for children to play in the yard. Reporter bowers first blew the whistle in 2010 and spoke to the Investigative Unit about his concerns earlier this year. Hes one of four former radiation specialists now suing tetra tech. They say they were fired after questioning the companys actions. This is huge. This is a very, very big incident. Reporter ahimsa sumchai was part of the hunters Restoration Advisory Board for years and for years shes had questions about how regulators have monitored the cleanup. The California Department of Health Services which oversees radiological operations at the Hunters Point shipyard without question needs to make a statement about you know, the health and safety impact. Can we get a commitment from your department that we can discuss the tetra tech report . Yes. Reporter thats steve woods, the director of radiation safety for the state health department. Initially he told us he would discuss this report. But the agency has since reneged on its offer, instead saying the department will not be officially commenting. The department of toxic substances control is the lead state agency on the project. It has also remained silent, writing in an email, we have no comment on the report. You cant bury anything like this. Its too big. Theres too many people involved. Reporter as for the cleanup, it continues. Tetra techs contracts so far add up to more than 300 million. And after being allowed to conduct its own investigation, the company blamed the sample collectors for the false soil being submitted to the navy. Tetra tech declined our multiple requests for comment. But in the report the company says it disciplined two supervisors, retrained workers, conducted ethical training, and has not had a recurrence indicating the corrective actions have addressed the problem. But for those familiar with the decades of cleanup at Hunters Point the conclusions of tetra techs own report are anything but reassuring. Based on the history, based on this report, does this call into questioning all of the sampling that tetra tech has done . Yes, it does. And the navy agrees, telling us it will continue to evaluate Data Collected by tetra tech. In the meantime, weve put an interactive map of the different parcels of land at urnt hads point on our website. Thats at nbcbayarea. Com. Really serious questions about this report. And as we said, 300 million so far has gone to this contractor in contracts. So a lot of money. Its big. Its been years, and its been so controversial, this project. Thank you, vicky. Tough a tip for vicky nguyen or anyone else in our Investigative Unit give us a call at 8889996tips. Or send us a tip directly to theunit nbc bay area. Com.

The mysteries of mcdonalds are finally being answered. The worlds biggest hamburger chain is hoping to change its perception by being more transparent. So question number one.
