Plan right now, not losing any of the abilities that we have under San Franciscos rules right now but just pumping the brakes a little bit. We are taking a live look at the city downtown. San francisco is in the yellow tier of californias reopening system but the city is keeping some of its orange tier restrictions and pausing reopenings. Reopenings of indoor pools, ow thats on hold. Ker rooms, it was supposed to happen next week. Restaurants and offices have to stay at 25 capacity as well as churches and museums. They were going to go up to 50 next week. We are tired of covid19 but covid19 is not tired of us just because we are tired of it. So it is still here. It is still present. We see it increased number of cases every day. We see it in the number of people who are sadly hospital eyed and we definitely feel it when someone loses their life. Reporter there are some concerns of course about halloween gatherings. This is video from freer times. There is usually a big party every year
The thing to look at his what is going on on mount st. Helena today. The hour before it reported at 42 Miles Per Hour, virtually half the wind speed tonight compared to last night. It seems like good news to me. It is still windy, the red flag warning is still there but the wind is not as bad. We look at the wind model that tells you everything, after midnight things cool off and you see at 2 am they start to fire up, it is not as aggressive on the central and south bay as it was last night. Mostly in the Northeast Quadrant and by 9 am it is gone. Some really positive news, we are not out of the woods on this thing but if we can get through noon tomorrow with what we are seeing outside now with some of the current wind speeds i am feeling good. Hopefully it will stay that way. When i come back we will look at the forecast that includes less wind and cool overnight lows. Thousands of customers are facing another night of outages as part of the pg e Public Safety power shutoffs. Crews ar
Judge barretts for right, out of the mainstream views the generations. Her confirmation means the court will be firmly in conservative hands with a 63 majority, the vote could be crucial in deciding the fate of the Affordable Care act, which will go before the court a week after the election.
