Kpix 5s cate cauguiran is in middletown where a whole neighborhood has been virtually wiped out. Unbelievable. Reporter it is absolutely heartbreaking here. Instead, they will have to look at this. This is all thats left from this fire that has just ripped through the this area, we know that the valley fire so aggressive and fast burning, neighbors only had minutes to grab what they could and then thread to leave. They had to leave. As the fire continues to burn into the morning the residents of middletown are left with a skeleton of autoing and driving through our kpix 5 crew says it looked like a bomb had gone off. Entire neighborhoods here were reduced to rubble and ash, the flames so intense it momented the tires off of melts the tires off of cars. Multiple structures that were on fire. Apartment complexes that were on fire. Like a match book. It just boom. As much black smoke just covering up behind me. Like something uvea in the movies you know what i mean . It was terrifying. Reporter evasion weak centers have been set up like this one in calistoga. Its the fifth major wildfire in laocoon think this summer and by far the worst. Within 12 hours the flames had burned through 40,000 acres. The fire at this point is up to 50,000 acres and growing. We are still waiting to hear more information on that one person who died. We do know that fire other firefighters were four other firefighters were injured fighting the fire. As far as any updates cal fire will be meeting at 6 30 this morning they say to regroup and figure out the strategy for the day. And we will bring you the latest information as soon as we have it from that update. Reporting live in middletown, back to you in the studio. I know it was dark this morning, but what was it like driving into middletown . Reporter well, frank, i can tell you temperatures really, really it was really, really eerie, looked a bit like a ghost town. Homes were scattered in the area but now all we see are just the foundations and skeletons of these homes just reduced to absolute rubble. It is again like i mentioned heartbreaking doesnt even begin to describe how sad it is driving through this area. All right cate cauguiran live for us up in the north. Red cross Evacuation Centers are set up at kelseyville high school, the Clear Lake Senior Center and napa fairgrounds in calistoga. One man learned he will not have a home to go back to, still he considers himself lucky. Theres a little chaotic mountain was backed up. And we didnt know how fast the fire was chasings ling us chasing us. Lost my house, its a shame. My wife lost her house she grew up in. Its a heartbreaker, but weve got our lives so you have to thank jesus for that. They have each other. The red cross says it has plenty of food and supplies for the fire victims. What they really need are cash donations. If youd like to help, you can give online or text red cross to 90999 to make an instant 10 donation. We posted a link to the red cross website on cbssf. Com. Okay lets get a check of weather now and i guess the big problem out there over the weekend ro was the winds. The winds really picked up. Thats true. We had wind gusts in excess of 30 miles per hour. The winds are going to begin to ease back. The winds will also rotate to the southwest. That means the smoke and the ash is going to be blowing away from the bay area. Heres the latest forecast but i have to be very i have to remind all of you that what this valley fire does, it creates its own weather pattern. Just so massive. Even though were forecasting southwesterly winds 10 to 15, the winds around the fire will be extremely erratic. But we do have some light rain in the forecast. This is our futurecast and you can see very light rain showers do show up primarily north of the golden gate bridge. So thats certainly good news but it wont be anything to put out the fires but its certainly assisting and wont be as dry. So we have a chance of rain across the bay area today. Well clear out on our tuesday. Then we have another chance of rain showers very light moving into the bay area by wednesday. Meanwhile out the door right now, air temperatures are pretty much in the 50s and 60s. The winds are under 5 miles per hour. Later today with the southwest wind blowing up to about 10 miles per hour, temperatures in the 60s and up to about 79 degrees. Hey frank well have the full forecast in less than ten minutes. Okay roberta thanks. About 150 miles southeast of the valley fire is the butte fire. And thats destroyed at least 135 homes in the sierra foothills and cal fire says containment now only at 25 . Flush flush yesterday the smoke was so thick that it grounded aircraft for much of the day forcing firefighters to rely on ground crews and more than 4500 firefighters are workingen that fire right now. And be sure and stay right here with kpix 5 and cbssf. Com. For up to the minute details on these fires including updated information on evacuations and road closures. All right, on to football now. For the first time this evening santa claras levis stadium will host a regular season monday night football game. Yes, that means 49er fans will be mixing with Silicon Valley commuters and kpix 5s kiet do is joining us live to explain thousand vta will handle the extra load. Hi. Reporter yes, hello there, call it levis stadiums traffic version 2. 0. Theyre taking everything that they learned in the previous season applying it to this season using it to try and improve and optimize the whole traveling experience. For vta they have 28 strains on trains on any given night. They will be adding ten additional trains. The agency says they learned a lot during the preseason game against the san diego chargers. Which took place on a thursday night around the evening rush hour. They estimate an extra 10,000 riders will join the regular commuters. On monday night, the vta will have a command post set up to monitor the inflow of riders and then reposition the trains for the rush home. After we get them into the game, well know all of the numbers are coming from how many people are coming from Mountain View and how many people are coming from santa teresa so that we can figure out the resources to get them back home. If that changes if there are more people coming from Mountain View than we anticipated well be able to have more trains that are going back to Mountain View after the game. Reporter getting out of the parking lots should also be quicker. Red lot one and green lot one will have extra exit lanes on to Great America parkway. Blue lot one will have one more exit on to Patrick Henry drive and then on to Great America parkway. From red lot eight, you can go south on lafayette street and finally, red lot six the biggest lot, will now have double the exit capacity of what it had before. The stadium folks say they will have extra staff on tasman drive to improve traffic flow through the intersections after the game. And so despite all these little tweaks and improvements, the stadium managers are still telling everybody give yourself plenty of time and be patient. Yeah. Patience and get there early. So does the vta have any advice about buying lightrail tickets . Reporter yes, so typically what theyve seen in the past is that people start waiting if line while theyre on the in line while theyre on the platform just to buy a ticket. Preload the clipper cards if you can and you can save yourself a lot of time just by doing that. And you can just jump on the next train while everybody is really just waiting in line. Kickoff again 7 20 tonight. We are live here at the stadium. Kiet do, kpix 5. I think theres still going to be some headaches on the roads gianna. I bet. Oh definitely. I mean kickoff is at 7 20. So if you are headed out to the game tonight youre probably going to get on the roads in the peak of drive home for the afternoon commute. So 101. 880. 237 all going to be bogged down. 280 along the peninsula as well. Give yourself a few extra minutes and tasman also major delays as a result. Again typical drive times out of San Francisco and oakland and the peninsula are about 45 minutes to an hour. Tack on another hour just for the afternoon drive. Again if you can leave early if you have that luxury that is your best bet. By the way if you plan on taking caltrain you do transfer at Mountain View over to vta lightrail so that may help you out just a bit. But again pack your patience. Frank . Imdeed and oh, yeah theyre going to play a little football too. You can catch the niners homeowner against the vikings home opener against the vikings right here on kpix 5.

Some of the animals are going through a lot of stress. And fortunately, we have a lot of great people around here and a lot of resources. So weve been able to get them housed appropriately and get them fed waltered and alled down. Watered and calmed down. Reporter volunteers saved this litter of pupties and brought them to the fairground and many of the evacuees are staying this morning. The vet treating them says the puppies would have been euthanized if volunteers hadnt gotten them the help they needed. This morning yolo county sheriffs mountain posse will be here to help in the assist of those evacuated animals. Reporting live in middletown, cate cauguiran, kpix 5.

So Silicon Valley workers will be joined by throngs of 49ers fans heading to tonights regular season opener. Kpix 5s kiet do joins us live to explain whats being done to handle all the extra people. Reporter yes, good morning. Now typical Silicon Valley approach to doing things, try something new and see what works and see what doesnt. Implement some small changes and improvements and then try it all over again. And do not be afraid of failures. So for the vta they have 28 trains running on any typical night and they are adding ten trains tonight. They will be direct route trains so passengers wont have to transfer at the tasman metro lightrail station and will get to the game quicker. The agency says they learned a lot during the preseason game against the san diego chargers. Which took place on a thursday night around the evening rush hour. They estimate an extra 10,000 riders will join the regular commuters. On monday night, the vta will have a command post set up to monitor the inflow of riders and then reposition the trains for the rush home. We feel in this case, that we know more about the habits of our riders. More about where theyre coming from. So that were able to make the appropriate plans. Reporter getting out of the parking lots should also be quicker. Red lot one and green lot one will have extra exit lanes on to Great America parkway. Blue lot one will have one more exit on to Patrick Henry drive and then on to Great America parkway. From red lot eight, you can go south on lafayette street and finally, red lot six, the biggest lot, will now have double the exit capacity of what it had before. The stadium folks say they will have extra staff on tasman drive to improve traffic flow through the intersections after the game. Now despot all these tweaks and improvements the stadium managers are still telling everybody to give yourself extra time and please be patient. Patient. Please be patient. The vta is recommending that passengers buy lightrail tickets in advance . Reporter yes, so you know theyve seen in the past people actually waiting on the platform to buy a ticket. You can buy that round trip ticket ahead of time. You can preload that clipper card. Save yourself all the heartache of waiting on the platform. That way you can just jump on the next train that comes. Kickoff 7 20 tonight. Live here at levis stadium in santa clara, kiet do, kpix 5. Thank you very much. Niners tonight. Against the vikings. Traffic down that way. How about right now . How we doing right now . Right now traffic is not doing too bad to the south bay. In fact north 101 is actually looking pretty good. Its later on really going to have a big mess. 101. 237, 880. Thats where were going to see the bulk of the delays. Again, 7 20 kickoff as he said. Thats in the bulk of the evening commute. Extra busy conditions anyway for folks headed home from work along 101 t peninsula 280 as well. Guadalupe parkway north will see some delays and also might see exits off of 101 and Great America parkway backed up and also 880, 237, to north first street of course all of it leading the tasman right there at levis stadium is. If you do use caltrain you do transfer to vta at Mountain View. Typical commute is about an hour, 45 minutes extra for your regular drive time. So im recommending at least two hours if youre coming out of San Francisco or oakland. Or the peninsula to get to levis stadium tonight. So it might be tough for some. Well see how it goes. Frank . Just get home early and get ready for the game. Watch it right here on channel 5. Niners and the opener against the vicings on kpix 5.

Reuters says the preorders have topped the prior record last year. An analyst points to Strong Demand coming out of china which is not only good news for apple but also pretty encouraging sign.

So far looks like the demand is coming strong out of china and good sign all the way around. Now the stock market itself this morning is pulling back a little bit after we did get further news on chinas manufacturing pace slowing down a bit. Thats been the case over the past few months.

Indicating speeds lower than 25 miles per hour. Again, it is blocking lanes so lots of activity there. Reported injuries as well. Another wreck reported near pence la. Pretty peninsula. Pretty busy for the drive homes. 45 minutes now north 101 to the 80 split. Use 280 as the alternate and cut across over to 380 back on 101 southbound to get you to to. Avoid sfo. Avoiding the delays along 101. East 92 looks like halfmoon bay not doing too bad. Five minute drive. Road closures in effect in calistoga for the valley fire. In and around that area avoid it if you can. A lot of brake lights on the san mateo bridge commute. 880 to 101 slow and go conditions there and also backed up at the bay bridge. Metering lights are on and slow out of the maze and approach is also really busy. You have brake rights westbound 80 and to the maze that will take you 40 minutes right now.

A look at the strength in numbers calling on the weather watchers seeing whos up and awake and checking in with us this morning. We have john in santa rosa 59 degrees and 60 degrees says george in San Francisco. Keith in san leandro has 62 its in the 60s 234 antioch and thank you very much to jerry wilcox for checking in as well everybody is reporting mostly cloudy skies. Live weather camera suggests we have the cloud cover here as well. We have a combination of mid and high level clouds and also the marine layer that has been producing a little bit of drizzle on the seashore. We actually have a chance, of rain in the forecast today. And then again on wednesday. And were going to be cooler as well. And seasonably cool away from the bay. This is an upper level area of low pressure. Its beginning to take a nosedive down in a southerly direction and you can see a little bit of light rain across the northwestern section of the state. Its going to tap into some of the lingering moisture from what was once hurricane linda brought some remnants into bay area over the weekend. And with that, thats why we have that potential for light rain here. We do have extremely dry conditions over in napa and lake county where the valley fire burns out of control. So certainly any kind of precipitation will help. This is the futurecast, you can see a little bit of light rain anything that we do see will be very shortlived. Tuesday, partly cloudy skies. Then yet another chance of rain returns by midweek. Well keep our fingers crossed and when i say light rain im talking up to about maybe a tenth of an inch at tops across the Santa Cruz Mountains but thats it. Smack inbetween sun up and sundown. 60s and 70s and your extended forecast calls for seasonal weather to return at the end of the week. Have a great day everyone. Thank you roberta. Governor brown reclairing a declaring a state of emergency because of the fires in lake and naoma county. Kpix 5s legal analyst melissa caen joins us now with more on what it means. Reporter good morning. Ive been watching you guys all morning. So scary to see whats happening with the fires and its not a surprise the governor has declared a state of emergency. Butst receive i to be its easy to be don fused. We think fema going to examine but to be clear, thats not whats happening here. Fema only comes in when the president declares a state of emergency. That hasnt happened yesterday. Right now its just a governor declaring a state of emergency. Whats the point that . In this case its so the governor can force state agencies to use their resources to deal with the crisis. A state of emergency red tape is out the window. And oh well the agency only works over here out the window. It is all hands ondeck. There are something called a Governors Office of Emergency Services and it is now in charge of state resources. And it can move them around to deal with the emergency. Cutting through bureaucracy is not the only thing that happens in a state of emergency. Other things that are triggered include a ban on price gouging that goes into effect for the affected neighborhoods. Criminal penalties for looting. Normally when you steal stuff its called burglary. But when you steal stuff during a state of emergency, it is looting and a penalty is serious. Victims of a state of emergency can get extra time on tax returns and to file for unemployment benefits. And documents lost in a state of emergency can be recovered without a fee to the state. And finally depending on a persons Homeowner Insurance policy insurance policy, a loss during a state of emergency can result in quicker and greater payouts. So what the governor did here by making this declaration is pretty important. Just makes common sense really. That this try to get it done right . Right i mean weve seen it. And you know they need all the help they can get certainly. Didnt he just declare another state of emergency . The fire few of these going on right now. Just last week, he declared another one. Right now we have at least five states of emergency happening right here in california. Three are dedicated to wildfires. One is for those floods in Central Valley back in july. And one is for californias drought. Now these emergency declarations are only good for 60 days. So for example the drought emergency declaration, that was first made back in january. And every few months the governor reissues it. So well see whether these fires also require an extension. Of the state. You said the president has to declare an emergency before fema can help. Could that High Pressure here . It is not off the table. The governor would have to make a request to the president and the governor hasnt said yet whether hes going to do that. The last time was aier ago when the napa a year ago when the napa earthquake hit. Its possible. As they continue its 5 contained right now but they have a lot of work to do. Unbelievable. They work and work and then just tiny containment. So frightening. All right melissa thank you. Stay right here, kpix 5, cbssf. Com for up to the minute cbssf.
