i'm jeff glor in st. pete beach florida, along with anthony mason and meteorologist eric fisher who are in new york. hurricane irma is moving up the gulf coast of florida tonight at 14 miles an hour after making landfall this morning in the lower keys as a category four, and this afternoon again on marco island as a category three. it is expected to reach south western georgia by tomorrow afternoon. irma is now a category two hurricane with a maximum sustained winds irma is now a category 2 hurricane with winds at 105 mir, but it remains a dangerous storm with storm surges along the coast. irma is blamed for three deaths in florida. power has been knocked out to 3 million homes and businesses. >> jeff, as you said, part of the story is storm surges, and chief meteorologist eric fisher of boston. what do you see for the storm surges. >> it's an interesting sight. people are watching the water leave and huge spanses of beach open up that they've never seen before. we're seeing the flow around irma. look at the water line. it's unusual. the water heading out to the gulf and then a very quick ramp up, 10-foot rise in a couple of hours. when the wind comes around, that's when the surge gets very dangerous. walking around today, we want to make sure folks don't venture out. here you can see what happens. those winds offshore around the center. once the center of the storm passes off toward the north, the winds come around the other side and bring the water back in. we see the surge continuing down toward the keys at this hour, and we'll see the same effect as it moves north. it will bring the water into tampa. some good news, the storm a little bit weaker for tampa. we're looking at 3 to 6-foot surge, still dangerous but not worst case scenario. latest projections for the storm surge, starting to recede in the naples area, good news there, but very heavy rain in the next 24 hours. so things are starting to change a little bit. from the surge story to the rain story as we head into tomorrow. >> as you mentioned naples a key part here of this story. some of the highest winds in the storm today were recorded in naples, 142-miles per hour gusts. jonth vigliotti not far from where irma made landfall. >> 140 miles per hour, and in its path, trees really no match, this massive one completely uprooted. scenes like this throughout this county really calculating this emergency response at this hour. we watched the storm as it rolled in from the safety of our shelter, those winds whipping, in fact, part of the roof from the shelter we were in a hurricane-proof center ripped off during this storm. at this hour 85% of homes in collier county are without power and there is a boil water order in effect. this storm is far from over, though. we're focusing on the surge which is going to target the coastal communities, specifically naples and marco island. we're talking about surges from 10 feet to 15 feet. that's enough to cover entire buildings. right now there's a curfew in effect. police are telling people to stay inside at least until 6 a.m. tomorrow morning. that is when these waters are expected to recede. currently 15,000 people are inside shelters. they're being told to stay inside until the sunrises. >> jonathan vigliotti in naples taking the worst of it. thanks, jonathan. let's go back where the winds are picking up. jeff? >> they are indeed picking up, and the florida keys took the first u. s. hit from irma, and it was a big one. there is a dusk to dawn curfew in effect off the southern tip of the florida peninsula. earlier we spoke with elaine quijano. >> you can see the powerful effects of the remnants of the storm surge that washed through the area and continuing to overlap over the highway here. i just got off the phone with monroe county emergency management officials who say they believe the effect of irma on the florida keys is a humanitarian crisis. they do not have any figures of number of people hurt or even killed perhaps by this storm as we are still in the middle of it, but they say they plan a massive air relief operation with relief coming perhaps as soon as monday morning, and that will come in the form of c-130 cargo planes from the united states air force, which will help to deal with the devastation. we haven't been able to get down to some of the harder-hit areas, but what these emergency management officials tell me is that they haven't either. they are still contending with what you can tell are still some very powerful winds at this point and they could give me no estimate on when it is that they may have some kind of ability to go out and really survey all of the damage, but that is the latest here in key largo in monroe county, and those details just coming to us from the monroe county emergency management officials. >> elaine will have much more from the florida keys tomorrow on cbs this morning. this storm, irma, left much of downtown miami underwater. mark strassmann has been there all day and he files this report. >> reporter: jeff, here's the bad news where i am. that is storm water behind me. the good news is that water was going down or seemed to be until the rains picked up and the winds picked up both in the last 15 minutes. across the city, storm surge, water, and worry, it all lingers. places like miami's downtown business district, places like brickal avenue, up to 5 feet of storm surge was dumped there by irma and for coastal residents, once they return to their homes, they may discover to storm surge will mean a very significant rebuild of their homes. damage in this city was also significant. how significant remains unclear. two cranes, construction cranes, were snapped by the power of the winds from irma. they were at two different job sites, a couple of miles apart. no word on injuries. many people here don't have a real sense of how bad the damage is, and they won't until they get home. while any individual damage is intensely personal, no question, on the whole people here do understand whatever damage this area does get will be a fraction of what's to come on florida's west coast. jeff? >> the gulf coast city of fort myers was flooded by hurricane harvey two weeks ago. it is now dealing with the severe effects of hurricane irma and chris van cleave is in fort myers. >> reporter: irma lumbered into fort myers, lashing the southwest florida community with winds in excess of 100 miles an hour. category donna had landed here in an earlier year. people remained in shelters, including the jermaine arena. >> reporter: what made you come here? do you think your house is going to make it through? >> my house is at the beach. not a safe place. >> at a middle school, people took shelter, including one woman who went into labor just as the storm picked up. fortunately medical staff were on hand. principal is worried about supplies. >> the next step is to get more food. we only have enough food for tonight. >> reporter: but the wind is keeping first responders off the road. >> we shut our operation off at 45 miles per hour, and the gusts that we're receiving now have been up to 68 miles per hour winds and we only expect those to increase over time. >> reporter: despite warnings to stay in, some cars were on the road and this man ventured out on foot. >> i'll make it. >> reporter: we still face potential hurricane force winds for several more hours here in fort myers, but once irma starts to ramp down the winds, the real concern becomes storm surge. there's already water collecting and some isolated flooding but we're talking about a potential of a wall of water ten feet high or even higher in some places. that's enough to sub merge the first floor of residences and that's why there's a concern it could be a deadly storm surge here in fort myers. >> the worst of it is still on the way here in tampa-st. pete's tonight, and david begnaud is a couple miles away in tampa. david, what's happening there there right now? >> reporter: jeff, the rain is punishing, but it's nowhere near what it's going to be when the hurricane rolls in. it is expected to roll for the next 6-8 hours. we're talking about sustained wind gusts of up to 100 miles per hour. there's nobody on the road right now, including first responders. i talked to the tampa fire chief who said that if they get the storm surge that's predicted, at least three feet, it could be as high as five, but if they get three feet, it's going to be nearly impossible to perform rescues around here. tampa general hospital is on an island, davis island, not too far from where i'm standing. they are surrounded by water. it's a worst case scenario for them but they have a best case scenario plan already ruled out. the generators are on a higher level at the hospital, second, third floor. they have patients who were too critical to evacuate. the tampa fire chief told me everyone is in a good spot and they are safe. their boilers have gone out so they've lost the ability to heat water, but the water is running and it's safe. that's good news because they were concerned about tampa general. the curfew went into effect at 6:00. nobody is on the road and, jeff, we're expecting the hurricane-force winds to roll in, maybe midnight, 2 a.m., and all the way through the dawn hours. >> david, ambulances, i know, in st. pete is tampa area have now been pulled off the road because the winds have gotten so bad and because they're anticipating that storm surge. so where you are, you're not seeing anybody? >> reporter: no, nobody. not even a first responder on the highway. there is nobody on the road. in fact, when the fire chief came to the hotel where we're staying at, he mentioned that he was one of the only personnel that were on the road. they were about to pull folks off. again, the rain is punishing, but it's nowhere near what it's going to be. at about 40 miles per hour, jeff, they pulled everybody off the road. so we expect that has already started to happen. >> we can confirm that. that did indeed happen, and also worth mentioning that the worst of the surge is not going to come until after those hurricane-force winds or the worst of the winds come through. carter evans is just south of us, about 30, 40 miles south of us in sarasota. we checked in with him just a little bit earlier. sea spray blowing off sarasota bay here. it's been doing this for the last couple of hours. now you were talking about police officers not responding to calls, up in tampa where you are. that is the case here as well. they were blocking this road earlier. they have now left. they say it's too windy. they've got to go inside. so, if you need help from police in this area, it's too late right now. as far as the people who are in shelters, there are ten shelters in this area. at last check, about five of them were full. and there were about 17,000 people in sarasota county shelters. now there is still room for about 5,000 or 7,000 more people but it's going to be really tough to get there. you can see all this water blowing through the area right now. and jeff, we haven't even hit the hurricane force winds yet. it's gusting to around 52 miles an hour. it is going to be a really long night here in sarasota. >> glor: yeah, it's getting nasesy-- nasty here in tampa-st. pete. coming up, american tourists left stranded in the >> glor: hurricane irma killed more than two dozen people in the caribbean last week. at least 2,200 americans who were vacationing on the islands are still stranded. the u.s. navy is helping to bring them to safety. and tony dokoupil is in puerto rico with one couple's harrowing story. >> reporter: as hurricane irma crashed into st. marten, elia mcdonald and her husband ryan ran for shelter in a concrete stairwell. >> got in there just in time and held on to each other for dear life. >> reporter: and when they crawled out, most of their hotel was destroyed. >> like a bomb went off, complete destruction, everything is gone. >> reporter: but for the mcdonalds and thousands of other americans on st. marten, the aftermath of irma was as frightening as the hurricane itself. with no power, dwindling supplies of food and water, and the airport too damaged for use, the island descended into chaos. >> there was rioting, looting. i felt like we're never going to see our son again. >> reporter: at a hotel a few miles away, marlene maguire and ron leach slept with a knife beside them in a barricaded shell of a room. >> people started robbing, taking tv's out of the hotels. >> reporter: you saw people coming in? >> oh yeah, yes. >> reporter: as for the mcdonald's, they were rescued by the u.s. national guard and will return home tonight to michigan. tony dokoupil, cbs news, san juan, puerto rico. >> in a moment we have been east, west and south. we will head north to >> irma is a huge storm and every inch of florida will feel her wrath before it's over. injurica-- jericka duncan is in atlantic beach near jacksonville. >> >> reporter: yeah, just because this hurricane is actually going more westward does not mean that communities east in the florida area or even north of florida are in the clear. officials say at the end of the day this is still a hurricane, and once winds reach a sustained wind power of 40 miles per hour in this barrier island community, all the bridges will close. what does that mean? that means no access to major hospitals. and that is very important, we spoke to the police chief about that, michelle cook. >> our closest big hospital is about 15 to 20 miles a way. so we don't have any hospitals close by. which is another concern, because we're on an island and the hospitals are so far away. >> reporter: so what will people do? >> it's going to be a tough decision, you know. and that's what concerns me about people not evacuating. because if we had high winds, and somebody is injured, and it is not safe for public safety to get to them or get over a bridge, what do they do. that's going to have to be a decision that's made at that moment, based upon the totality of the circumstances. you know, it's tough. i don't want to have to give a death notice to your family because you chose to stay. >> reporter: and in this community of 14,000 people, the chief says that, unfortunately, she believes that more people chose to stay and ride this out instead of leave, despite the fact that there were mandatory evacuations to this community since friday. anthony? jericka duncan reporting from atlantic beach, the storm expected to reach there not until tomorrow morning. i want to bring jeff glor back in. jeffs a we have been pointing out it will be a long night for for the state of florida. the winds are picking up near where you are now. >> glor: yeah, the worst is still hours away in tampa-st. pete and it has gotten considerably worse here in just the hour we've been on the air for this western edition of the broadcast. yes, irma's winds are weaker than when they-- when she first made landfall and then after the second landfall, yes, they are predicting the storm surge will not be as bad as they were worried about right now. but that doesn't mean that police, fire and medical are telling anyone to let their guard down. unusual things happen with these storms. they shift track, they change direction. you don't know what it's going to be like until it's over. and even when it's over they're telling people to be safe when they do end up leaving their homes or their shelters, anthony. >> glor: jeff, as elaine quijano reported, emergency management officials on the florida keys felling us there is a humanitarian crisis down. there we'll have more on irma in a momen >> glor: for millions it will be a long and restless night in this storm-battered state. hurricane irma now a category two is heading here to the tampa-st. pete area with triple digit winds. its reach extends across the peninsula to the atlantic coast. the storm could dump another six inches of rain or more on florida by tomorrow night. forecasting one of the biggest threat is the dangerous storm surge. coastal areas are getting swamped by a wall of sea water up to ten feet high in the fort myers area. it could be six feet high here. the storm is blame-- blamed for at least three deaths in florida and power has been knocked out to millions of homes and businesses. tonight a dire situation appears to be unfolding in the florida keys. irma blasted the chain of islands today with 130 mile an hour winds. the emergency management director of monroe county calls it a humanitarian crisis in the keys. he said the first planes bringing relief are due tomorrow morning. the keys are now in a dusk to dawn curfew. irma is expected to reach northern florida and southwest georgia by tomorrow afternoon. here in tampa st. pete, anthony, the long night continues. >> indeed, jeff glor, stay safe there, jeff, thank you. that is our expanded western edition of the cbs weekend news. charmie rose, nora o'donnell and gayle king will have an coverage on an expanded issue of cbs this morning, for . live from the cbs bay area studios, this is kpix5 news. >> everybody's very honored and proud to be part of this event. >> into the eye of irma as the monster hurricane rakes its way across florida, emergency crews in the bay area are standing ready for rescues. good evening. i'm juliette goodrich. >> i'm brian hackney. here is what they're facing tonight. it has been downgraded to a category 2 storm, but it has been packing winds in excess of a hundred miles an hour. and while parts of the state brace for a historic storm surge, many stand ready to help. >> the 129th rescue wing loaded up a c-130 on an air base at the panhandle today and flew to miami to drop off rescue teams. many of the members of the crew are just back from texas where they saved people from the floodwaters of harvey. >> many of the rescuers never made it home from texas before they turned around for florida. >> i miss my kids and my wife right now. >> after nearly two weeks of res execution people from texas floodwaters, bay area firefighters like the battalion chief were on their way home. >> we started to make our way home. we got turned around in el paso and started making our way out here. we made it to georgia and then from georgia we got reassigned to orlando where we're at currently waiting for the storm to come in. the group is called california task force from alameda county fire and others. they're there along with similar task forces from arizona, colorado, and l. a. >> large conference rooms and each team has their own conference room. >> inside the center there are tons of equipment including trucks and cars and get this 35 helicopters. right now they're waiting for the storm to pass so they can begin rescuing people. >> they're talking upwards of 11 to 12 hours of sustained winds. anytime a building is going to take hours of this, we're worried about structural damage, structural collapse. >> these task force members have been away from home for more than two weeks now and they don't know when they'll be able to return. some have already missed birthdays and an verseries, but that's what they signed up for with pride. >> that's what we knew we signed up to do when we took an oath and we're happy to help. everyone is honored and proud to be a part of this. >> melissa caen, kpix5 news. >> residents are being urged to stay inside, even if it seems the storm has passed. wind gusts in excess of 140 miles an hour were clocked at naples airport earlier today and several tornadoes have touched down on florida's east coast. also a storm surge measured a rise of 7 feet in 90 minutes. president trump has already declared a major disaster for 9 florida counties. >> the latest on the path of hurricane irma shows that now it's about 35 miles east-northeast of fort myers, florida, and because it's interacting more with the land it's having the steam taken out of the engines of the hurricane. this makes it a category 2, and by tomorrow morning it will be downgraded to a category 1. when it makes landfall again around the panhandle of florida and moves into georgia, it will be tropical storm strength but it still has potential to unwind lots and lots of rain. in isolated places up to 25 inches. you might wonder why we're not talking much about jose. because jose is spinning and it's going to weaken over the next few days. irma, however, remains a threat and we'll have more on it. >> more than 3 million people have already lost power as transformers explode and it may be weeks before they have pour again. they need to get the lights back on. they shot this video from the palm beach hotel where they're staying until it's safe to go out. >> looks like we'll have an all clear and be able to go out when it's safe. it's a wonder full feeling to know we're part of supporting spl. >> the team is made up of hundreds. florida power and light is footing the bill for the pg and e response. in floridians are getting directions from a call center here in california when they're trying to get out. calls are being rerouted to sacramento after their own call center was evacuated. >> people really don't know they're calling to california and they expect when we answer the phone we know the area, we understand why they're calling and how we can be of assistance. so that level of responsibility is not one that we take lightly. >> puerto rico was almost spared but it was still a problem. they have a new problem now. >> we have a flight getting out on thursday. we're actually going to jfk, jfk to san francisco. our original flight was to fort lauderdale but that's not going to be open anytime soon. >> chris says there were some rough hours on their cruise. they were trying to outrun hurricane jose without overrunning irma. stay tuned for the very latest on irma and working on rescue and recovery efforts. >> still to come, forcing people to be smarter with their smart devices. the bay area politician who wants to turn crosswalks all over california into no-phone zones. >> good luck with that. taking a stand, the ex-49er who had everyone talking on this nfl opening sunday didn't even take the field. >> the dream of 1967 is now the reality of 1972. >> can you believe b.a.r.t. turned 45 tomorrow? how the unique technology has now been put on the fast track to a mid-life crisis. >>. and any sign of low clouds? no, but low clouds will not be a problem. see the high clouds? wait until you hear what might happen because of that. forecast is coming up. and back on the road. but it's driving. . well, new at 6, a new push in california to get our eyes off our phones and back on the road. but it's not about distracted driving. kpix5 news tells us it's about distracted walking. >> reporter: these days many people feel they just can't live without their smart phones, but apparently some can't live with them. >> i mean, people can die looking at their cell phones. >> david cana pa believes pedestrian accidents currently one quarter of all traffic fatalities are increasing because walkers pay too much attention to their phones rather than the street. youtube is full of videos of that happening. so cana pa is introducing a new resolution. >> basically asking to ban distracted walking. >> reporter: he's calling for a new state law authorizing police to cite pedestrians who look down at their phones while in the crosswalk. >> whether it's looking at text messages, facebook, twitter, that's what we're doing. and so this is a 21st century solution to a 21st century problem. >> cana pa demonstrated the kind of thing he has seen and wants banned. but some walking in san francisco said this is just another example of government trying to save people from themselves. >> you can't really tell how much they pay attention to the traffic. i think that's a tough call to make. >> and we have the right to, of course, text and walk and stuff. and everybody is responsible for their actions. >> but this driver antonio mar quart says while pedestrians are distracted, they shouldn't be the only ones. >> what if the driver is texting and they're not looking? >> everyone assumes the other guy is paying attention, becoming increasingly fatal. taking a stand on the nfl opening sunday, marshawn lynch stood for the national anthem. and doing the same thing a week after a police video. colin kaepernick started this to protest police brutality. he has yet to find a new home in the nfl. kaepernick supporters like this group to rallied by the stadium said he is being punished for taking a stand. >> he's a great nfl quarterback and just because he's had some controversy with the league, the league needs to move on. >> and it wasn't just in santa clara, rallies were held around the country today. let's switch gears and have a look at our own weather. we're having it here, happens every day. clouds as we look at the golden gate bridge. traffic flowing smoothly. that's nice. it warmed up big time, didn't it? it's 20 minutes before 7:00 on a sunday night and it's 99 degrees in con card. temperatures were supposed to spike today and they did. even in san francisco it is a warm 78 degrees downtown and in san jose 94. tomorrow we will cool all the way down to 95 inland, but it's going to be the last fairly warm day for the rest of the week. monday warm again and then things are going to change. here's why. low pressure. look at that circulation on the northeastern side of the low. see where the showers are popping up by the airbnb force base air force base? don't be lulled into a false sense of security here. look what happens later in the day. thunder bumpers popping up. the result is the potential for a few showers tomorrow night especially over the higher elevation and that chance continues into tuesday. as we have a look ahead, that cooler weather, thunderstorm chance comes in late monday, early tuesday. it's not a big chance, but could be interesting. you watch paul deana to catch up on this this week. shower chance comes in late monday and tuesday. again, the odds are it won't happen but there is the potential. nice and mild temperatures return by mid week. tomorrow, warm. then it gets interesting interesting by late monday. 77 at tahoe. partly sunny skies tomorrow if you're flying out of the bay area. a high of 88. beautiful job at the terminal in san francisco. 87 for los angeles and 80 in new york tomorrow. >> bay area tonight, a warm night. temperatures will mostly be in the 60s for overnight lows. tomorrow morning on monday sun up at 6:48 a.m. well above average. san francisp to 77. beautiful as we head back to work. concord 94 degrees. san jose 89. oakland, 83. sunny vail, 87. cupertino 91. over in the east bay, very warm, mid 90s. still not as warm as today. today the numbers jumped by ten to 15 degrees. tomorrow they'll come down by five. san rafael, 88 degrees, and at stenson beach. clear lake 96. extended forecast, tomorrow warm again, not quite as warm, and then late monday we're going to get terrific buildups over the central valley. maybe by tuesday, showers could happen. and then we're right back to average. 70s inland. if you want a breath of fresh air, wait until then. in the meantime, things could get interesting, juliette. thousands of people at christie field on the walk for alzheimer's. it was one of the hundreds of events across the u.s. dedicated to finding a cure for this disease. our own dennis o'donnell knows what it's like to lose a family member to this. he's been a part of this walk for 15 years. >> reporter: because of events like this, we were able to fund research and studies. it's a relentless disease, but the people here are relentless as well. >> today's walk raised nearly three-quarters of a million dollars for research and support. great job. here he is. >> thank you everybody for showing up, especially because it was nfl sunday. how do the 49ers react to an incredibly disappointing season debut? and the raiders? the most unlikely hero of the day. next. less than a week ago, nobody would have guessed kicker georgio tavecchio would be on the raiders roster -- let alone the opening we . well, less than a week ago, nobody would have guessed that kicker giorgio would be on the raider roster, let alone being the opening week mvp. marshawn lynch back in the nfl after missing an entire season. cooper looked like this on the first quarter. the titan defense into the end zone, and that's the game's first touchdown. it was down now 10-10, and now on injured reserve, signing the former cal kicker. nailing a 52-yarder at the end of that. loving it. 16-13 raiders. fourth quarter, derrick carr finds seth roberts. the raiders never lost a game when seth roberts scores a touchdown. the raiders bleed the clock with lynch. linebacker gerald casey to keep the drive going. coming out to boot, 43 yarder for the lead. that's the ball game. four field goals for the farmer cal kicker and he was the talk of the locker room. >> you know, you just try to be in the moment, and that's something that i wanted to do this weekend, embrace the anxiety, embrace the butterflies, it is a special moment. >> raiders get the jets next weekend. 49ers, debut of a new gm, new coach, new quarterback. david shaw saying hello to his former do-it-all running back christian mccaffrey, drafted by north carolina. reuben foster awkwardly fell on his foot. x-rays were negative. he and his coach said afterwards it's not serious, he'll be okay. 13-0 panthers to start the third quarter. looking for george kilths, instead an interception. 24, of 35. didn't take long for cam newton to find the end zone. 20 to nothing, and that put the game away. 49ers did have a chance to get into the end zone after a mccaffrey fumble in the fourth quarter, but holding out of pay dirt. head coach debut ends in a dismal 23-3 loss. >> it was disappointing, but, you know, whether it's the first, last, or any one i have the rest of my career, it was disappointing. so i don't think it matters that it was the first. anytime you lose and lose that way, it's frustrating and disappointing and i'll feel that all day tonight and all night and i'm sure players will, too. >> raphael medal wins the u. s. open. >> not good. giants lose today. >> thank you, and good work with the walk for alzheimer's. >> and nfl sunday. i was very proud of everybody for showing up today and i say thank you. >> we'll be right back. 45. and wilson walker sh middle age, b . well, tomorrow is a big day for b.a.r.t. the transit system is turning 45. >> and as it enters middle age, b.a.r.t. is realizing it's time to start taking better care of itself. >> well, i feel very much exhilirated about today. we've had a long haul to get to this point. >> the film is vintage, the fashion retro, the automobiles antique, but 45 years later, b.a.r.t.'s signature slope-nosed cars still look a lot like the future. >> very definitely had a future feel to it. it was during the aerospace age. >> and people came from around the world and lined up just for a chance to line the future. >> we have a lot of people coming up to ride it. >> this is me with the moustache, and that's the king of sweden. >> he was b.a.r.t.'s inaugural spokesperson. >> it was the new modern space-age transportation system. >> it really was almost a fetish for rockets and airplanes. they put that fetish onto a train and that fetish has resulted in one of the most unique designs in the entire world. >> but the very uniqueness that made b.a.r.t. kind of xeksy in the 77777 -- sexy in the 70s is exactly what causes some of the problems today. >> it's built into the system, the train is a lightweight system. the the wheels are unique, the power is unique. >> those notoriously long escalator repairs, the parts are almost impossible to find and sometimes have to be custom fabricated by hand. >> the core of the system, 19 miles of track without a spare lane, meaning any one small problem causes big delays. >> a 4-minute delay will probably generate 15 to 20 late trains. >> some stations were built too small. here embark daro cannot handle the load that is being expected of it. >> the train of the future struggles to carry the weight of the present and the whole thing simply was not built to allow for upgrades. >> well, you know, state-of-the-art is a moving target. it's changing all the time. >> but the dream of 1957 now is the reality of 1972. >> and the reality of 2017 is that you can update the software on your phone while you zip along beneath the bay on a train controlled by a computer system that has never had a single software upgrade since the day b.a.r.t. started rolling. >> right now we are maxed out with our existing train control system at 24 trains an hour from oakland through the tube into san francisco. >> now, there is a
