Lets get right to meteorologist drew tuma with more on that red flag warning. Drew . Yeah, its been another day of intense record breaking heat across the entire bay area. Look at the numbers that have fallen today. Anywhere shaden that is numerous cities eithe tied or set new records today. 108 in livermore, 100 the high in redwood city earlier today, 103 in santa rosa. And it is still a very warm evening out there as we approach midnight. Look at these numbers. Little in the way of cool air moving in. Were in the 70s if not widespread 80s along the coast. Were in for another uncomfortable for lot of us tonight. With all this heat across california it has started thunderstorms. Were seeing on live doppler 7 you can see thunderstorms off the Central Coast, they do have lightening so there is the risk of dry lightening moving into Northern California overnight tonight. It is for that fact a red flag warning is now in effect for the threat of that dry lightening until 11 00 a. M. Tomorrow morning. The risk is there. If lightening does strike a new fire could potentially strike. Were going to take a closer look at this red flag warning, how hot we get tomorrow and how long this heat wave will last in a few minutes. For the second night in a row pg e was ordered by the States Agency that operates the border grid to start rolling outages about 2 30 this evening. Pg e says power was restored about three hours later. The state agency cal iso said earlier today there wouldnt be outages but change of plans was made due to electricity increased demand and loss to a power plant and some wind power. Heres a look at the current outages in the bay area. These counties were not impacted by todays rotating outages but a pg e spokesperson tells us there were still several heat related outages. Those outages in yellow affected more than 50 people. The orange affected more than 500 people. Some people affected today had been without electricity since last night. Luce pena talked to some families who had had enough of this heat wave. Reporter tonight is the second day in a row that are in t dark. Ss the bay are thinking like regular people, well, you know what, itll be on in a little while and well be good, right . Well, this morning still no power. And, okay, now you really start to worry because then i start worrying about all the food i have in the fridge. This teacher is one of over 4,000 pg e customers affected by rotating Power Outages. Unlike many who got their power back this morning its been over 24 hours for her without electricity. And the biggest concern for her now is not having a lesson plan ready for her students. Usually over the weekend you plan your lessons and make sure everything works and start posting it to google classroom and all those good Things Technology allows us to do. Well, im not able to do that. Im crossing my fingers that monday morning im going to be able to actually go into my school site but to at least obviously prepare my lessons. Reporter the outages were expected to affect approximately 220,000 pg e customers. In the east bay thousands were in the dark with temperatures reaching over 105 degrees, driving was the saving grace for many. The only air conditioner we got is my car. Luckily my tank is full and weve been cruising around livermore. Just having the air conditioner because with my health issssurvive. Reporter the heat is also increasing the amount of emergency calls. In Contra Costa County the Fire Protection district is gearing up to respond to potential fires. Theyre expecting thunderstorms with lightening strikes. So if we have lightening with this very hot weather we are concerned about the number of vegetation fires that well have. A red flag warning wept into effect at 11 00 p. M. Tonight in Contra Costa County. We have an additional engine already staffed, called back our crew 12, our hand crew that assists with vegetation fires, an additional chief officer working tonight and also our dozer on standby. There are ways to help conserve energy and maybe avoid outages while still trying to bat the heat. First of all set your thermostat at 78 degrees fahrenheit or even higher and then keep the house cooler with fans instead of the ac and be sure to draw your curtains to block the sun. Turn off unnecessary appliances and use major appliances in the morning or late in the evening. Higher rates are usually charged between noon and 8 00 p. M. In the summer. A warning to swimmers and surfers from fire crews to stay close to the shore while trying to beat the heat. Abc 7 was out at ocean beach s were rescued at about 5 00 tonight. One had to be given cpr and is in critical condition. The others were able to walk to the ambulance. San Francisco Fire Department tweeted today they have made eight surf related rescues and one cliff rescue. They have responded to about 700 safety related calls. A fire damaged a building and delayed drivers along San Francisco freeways this afternoon. People saw smoke rising miles away from the scene after the fire started along the southbound u. S. 101 along paul avenue. Heres how it looked for drivers headed in the opposite direction. The fire have started binuilding that houses a construction company, and firefighters think somebody may have set it. Part of what makes it so vicious is that our companies have been here several times in the past couple of months for similar outside fires. Well, the chp closed three lanes along southbound 101 reop5 this afternoon. Dozens of people relied on a cooling center to avoid the heat in san jose today. Visitors had to get their temperature checked before they could enter the Camden Community center. City workers setup seating and tables in a way that visitors could socially distance from one another. But one woman claims shes not worried about being indoors with strangers during a pandemic. To be completely honest were both over 70. If we die, we die. You know, nobody lives forever. One woman turned to the cooling center when their power went out at home and work had to get done. I mean ac wise we can live without it, but power you cant, right . You cant use your phone as a hot spot or anything. Sane lln cooling centers every day from today to wednesday. Park rangers are giving away face masks to people at deloris park today. And they say theyre also making sure people are following the health order.
