A lot of people that live around here are skeptical. There should be a warning. It didnt seem like a normal fire. It looked pretty big. Reporter the whole scenario brought back memories of of the 2012 explosion at this plant. 15,000 people went to the hospital complaining of breathing problems blamed on emissions from that event but chevron says last night was a safe and routine process. The company tweeted there was some visible flaring to allow for equipment depressurizing. This is part of normal refinery operations.

Into a reservoir where she drowned. Reporter many drivers tell me they use their gps devices as a guide because they are not always right. I was in hayward recently and it asked me to turn left towards the downtown but that would have taken me right into a oneway street. Reporter yeah. The firefighters say they are especially concerned now because the younger folks they simply have not read a map and dont know how to read a map. So you have a lot of young people who simply follow the little red line on their gps devices instead of their eyes and that seems to be the case here according to firefighters. Veronica . All right, da lin, thank you. More and more Bay Area Police departments are using body cameras on their officers. In oakland, city leaders say its a big reason why use of force cases are plummeting.

Id like to get back to modeling. Some of you may have questions about drought modeling as well. For donald wilhite, the school of natural resources, one thing we havent talked about is preparedness. The United States of course as i mentioned, we saw in 2012 how terrible it was in so many parts of the country. Droughts over the last decade. Virtually all the regions of the country have been affected. Of course, if any of you live in washington, d. C. , we are seeing we just havent had much of a winter.

This event here this morning is part of that closure, and the pope himself has indicated that he is going to retire. He wants to spend his life in prayer and medication. Hes a humble generous man.

Obviously the holy father has not died so we cannot speak of his legacy. Certainly his teachings, his charisma will mark it. He himself said there are pressing changes, rapidly ch
