Kpix 5s da lin is live outside the refinery with the latest. Da reporter the flaring stopped around 3 30 p. M. This afternoon about 9 hours after it started this morning. Now just white smoke coming out of the refinery, much better than the case earlier. Earlier, we saw black smoke and that caused Health Concerns and forced police to shut down some nearby streets. A power outage at the valero refinery at 6 45 this morning caused flaring and plumes of smoke to drift above benicia. People who smelled smoke aid it made them cough and light headed. Benicia police shut down a portion of the Industrial Park which is next to the refinery. Theres no problem getting out but getting back this is a different story. The roads will be blocked off. Reporter as a precaution the city ordered two nearby Elementary Schools to shelter in place. The superintendent said hundreds of parents throughout the district played it safe and took their children home. The wind dictated the direction of the smoke. Some areas were covered in a dark haze. Without a flare, you cant protect your equipment or your community. So as much as people might not want to see it, i would say look at the flare and when its going off its your friend because its doing exactly what its supposed to do. Reporter the epa and other local agencies are monitoring the air quality saying its not too bad but people should definitely avoid the smoke. For some folks it can cause pain and irritation for sure. I can understand that. Reporter some of the neighbors are not happy saying the city sounded the sirens too late. About an hour after the flaring. I didnt know it was going on. I didnt know if it was safe to leave my house, if i could let my cat out. I wanted to know what was going on. Reporter looks like the refinery is doing some sort of work right now to fix the situation because in the last 20 minutes or so, we noticed the flaring would be back as you can see now hopefully you can see it, there are flames coming out of tower and then goes out quickly. Thats been happening for the last 20 minutes or so. We dont know exactly why thats happening. In the meantime, we do know that were not aware of any reports of people getting injured as a result of this. We can see white smoke coming out now that seems to look better than the black smoke we saw from the chopper earlier. Im wondering about the smell there. Youve up wind a bit, but how has it been . Reporter yeah. It was bad earlier. The winds kind of blew the smoke toward my direction and it was hard to breathe and i was coughing. Da lin, thank you. Check this out. A sinkhole opened up this morning in San Francisco. And it took down a large truck. A man was inside the cab near 7th and townsend when the ground sank suddenly.

We sent skydrone5 to the scene while crews were taking the truck out of the hole. You can see the job required a huge special tow truck to pull it out.

In 2009 oregons attorney general called the ads misleading noting the charity benefits a narrow religious practice instead of needy children generally and according to a new report from the Minnesota Attorney general 2012 and 2014 raised 3 million for the state but less than 12,000 went to local kids and they lost 10 million in real estate transactions. Invested the money and lost it and we think that too is something important for people to know. Reporter and according to 2015 tax filings, the 39. 1 million in expenses exceeded contributions in grants. [ music ] reporter 17 million of that according to Charity Watch went to pay for those catchy ads. Even more than kars4kids gave to the oorah. They are paying for the ads.
