A total of about 35,000 pg e customers in the bay area are affected by these Power Outages and that is why we have Live Team Coverage tonight. David louie will join us in a moment and we have Team Coverage in the north bay as well, which will bear the biggest impact.

Prieta earthquake 30 years later airs tonight at 10 00. As to why the quake caused so much damage to a wide patch or our area, meteorologist rob mayeda joining us to explain that part of the story. By magnitude, alone, it would make sense youd see the most severe to violent shaking right near the epicenter to the Santa Cruz Mountains, fault line there, the energy started to radiate outwards. As we zoom in on the maps in some cases the most devastated damage we saw was not just limited to the Santa Cruz Mountains and closer to the epicenter but in fact, seismologists say a lot of danl we did see was linked to the bay areas geology. Not all ground shaking intensities are the same including many miles away from the epicenter. In the loma prieta earthquake which was here near santa cruz, we actually saw liquefaction and amplification of ground motion in oakland near the viaduct on the i180, 8880. Thats 100 miles away, a lot farther than we typically see damage from an earthquake of this si
Events will be weaker than what we saw over the weekend, but still Strong Enough to do more damage in the fire zone. Good evening everyone, i am frank somerville. And i am in for julie. Today did help firefighters make some progress. The eastern edge of the fire is moving into lake county, moving into new evacuation warnings. The new warnings include middletown, pike casino, and the surrounding area. Cal fire said this evening the fire has grown to 74,000 acres. The lighter winds have allowed firefighters to contain the fire. 123 structures have been destroyed, 57 of those are homes. Nearly 90,000 structures are still in danger. As the winds continue to change and get into that red flag warning, northeast blow, it is going to increase that fire behavior to levels we saw when this fire initially began. Here is a map now. Sonoma county and the areas impacted by the kincaid fire. The red portion is where the fire is burning. The purple area is where mandatory Evacuation Orders are still i
7400 people will see their power turned off in calistoga, deer park, lakeberryessa, oakville, pope valley, rutherford, and st. Helena. Laura anthony is live in calistoga tonight with the impact of the shutoff there. Laura. Reporter hi, dan. Its really a tale of two cities here in calistoga. Im standing on lincoln avenue. This is the bridge that goes over the creek. Whats happened here is thanks to pg e generators, the power has been turned off on the west side but not on the east side. The east side went off for about an hour and a half and then it went back on just before 4 30 because just outside of town, pg e has some generators that are keeping the lights and the businesses running here in calistoga. Right on cue, the power in downtown calistoga went out at 3 00 p. M. , leaving the tourist town and many of its visitors at a loss. The businesses on the east side of lincoln avenue are supposed to be powered by a bank of generators located at a pg e substation just outside of town. Bu
That particular branch. Been a different bridge, that partially collapsed during the 1999 earthquake. It was a 6. 9 earthquake, 5 oh 4 pm. As a world series was about to start. He said that world series maybe save lives. Yes it happened around 5 04 and everyone went home to watch the giants play in game three. Subsequently that cypress structure which went down, where most of the deaths where a lot of people were off the freeway. Yes, the bay bridge failed, we so many fires pop up in the Marina District, four people in the marina alone died, a lot of people were forced out of the ballpark or they were at the ball park and they were watching it when it was interrupted at 5 04. A lot of people froze in that moment of what is going on . I was at home in livermore and i did not do any of that duck, cover business. What did you do . I walked around the house and noticed it was shaking, it felt like it was three minutes long it was like 1520 seconds so i did not do what you should have done,
