been able to go on the property. >>as a matter of fact a sheriff's deputy said they were unable to go on the property right away because the heat stream heat. and that's why it took a couple of days to discover the body. daniel says first responders found james in his home of english hills road. >>he says james was almost fully blind. it had no way of receiving fire alerts and no running water. no electricity, no telephone. >>and he had no way of being alerted. so we're just assuming that he probably was so overcome by smoke and this guy there on the property in the bid now all that's left

show you the damage caused by the l a new lightning complex fires. more than a 1000 structures have been destroyed in this map that came out around 6 o'clock tonight by cal fire shows you exactly what's going on here. you can zoom right into individual homes and see if you're living in that area and you're you've been evacuated. you can go to this map to try to find out if your home is still standing this is the spanish flat area and you can see most of the homes here they're marked in red have been destroyed those that are marked in black have no damage his house in green has been affected in some way by the fire but is still standing and just north of there look at this trailer park more than 3 dozen a mobile homes have been destroyed. almost the entire trailer park has been wiped out 3 of them have been left behind and then you had over a little bit farther to the southeast. the headlines drive area and look at the number of homes on these roads that have been taken out by this fire. another a cause of concern we talked earlier tonight with daniel berlant from cal fire and we talked about the evacuation areas in the city said could potentially still be threatened. this red line here is the perimeter of the fire and you see a number of homes in the hills in the foothills of aca mountains. have been destroyed, but look at this this is the city of vacaville, which is right next to the perimeter of the fire and look at all of these subdivisions right next to the fire lines. daniel berlant said right now they look things are looking good. the fire conditions are favorable for firefighters but things could suddenly change depending on the weather and those neighborhoods could be threatened. this some homes that were destroyed just northwest of jenner along the sonoma county coast. and then up here just south of lake sonoma. some homes in this area, most of them have been saved, but there are one or 2 here in the fire perimeter that have been lost so bam. a lot useful information on this website go to kron 4 dot com. and you can access it to find out what's going on. if you have property in that area. >>we are just wildfire. we are monitoring as the scu lightning complex 5 people have been hurt so far it has been the least destructive though 20 structures have been destroyed and 6 have been damaged however more than 20,000 are still threatened. well 4 michelle kingston has the story of 2 men who were burned by that fire as they were trying to evacuate in livermore. >>i go back and one day live up to what you've done and in a right way to set the bar really high and so proud of you. and morrison described are hearing a lot. >>james shultz and tom shelton are lucky to be alive. both men have significant burns all over their bodies and are in the hospital after attempting to save their 88 acre property livermore last week from catching on fire the 2 men spent days setting up sprinklers to try to protect their homes as the scu fire inched closer in closer to them tom's brother steven explains. >>they knew what they were in store for they were never there to fight a fire they were only there to just make sure stuff was going on and then when the point when they need to go they were going to go but as james and tom jumped in their cars to head down the mountain last wednesday, the flames caught up to them. >>tom's window was down as he was driving in his beard caught on fire. this is what his car looks like today i am here to our entire world >>and i was driving through smoke. and all senate crashed into a lot stephen said his brother couldn't get out of the car his door was jammed shot james who was just behind him jumped out of his car to try to save time but got caught on fire tom who was also on fire was able to open up his passenger side door. >>and drag james's body to a water tank and the sprinkler was coming out the top and they had to water down below there. >>basically probably had on them and as the fire was passing over him. now bloodied burned in battered the 2 men jumped in the only car left on the property and got themselves to safety tom burned 35% of his body james burns, 75% of his the 2 men have a long road ahead of them as they begin to recover. >>in alameda county, michelle kingston kron 4 news and another fire we are monitoring in the north bay is the woodward fire him over in county, it is burning in the point reyes national seashore flames there have grown to more than 2700 acres. >>it is only 5% contained the fire is threatening more than 1600 structures evacuation orders have been issued for about 90 homes on silver hills road, fox drive and noren way with dozens of wildfires burning across the bay area, the fast-moving flames are forcing thousands of people to evacuate, although some have been allowed to go home. many others have not been ordered to evacuate, but they have received a warning from cal fire to be ready should they get the order to leave. well for dallas sogomonian joins us from our newsroom to break down where these orders and these warnings are in effect l a. and we're going to start off to the north bay right now specifically in sonoma county. so let's turn your attention. >>to this map to give you an idea of where people can now return home and what still needs to be evacuated. so taking a look at basically everything east of kings word ridge road between that and west of dry creek road is still under this mandatory evacuation as well as all along the north part of the russian river that mandatory evacuation extends up to encompass a lake sonoma completely so the warning is what starts north of that lake and then extends just stay west of cloverdale and that is what we're seeing in sonoma county as you can see all the green along the west. coast and and can now return home but moving on now to the napa and solano portion of this map and so the entire area of lake berryessa is under a mandatory evacuation we've seen most of the damage out and around the west side of that leak as well as the south side so that of course people can still not returned home. to what is left but some neighbors have been spared. po valley is included so as angwin in this mandatory evacuation order just north and west of calistoga and we see the warning begin just northeast of napa valley right here including lake hennessy and then a little bit more south eventually we see a solano counties so we did that's the city limits of vacaville and just getting spared from some of those flames and so it's really northwest in the vaca mountains that we're seeing that mandatory evacuation in place with parts of the west side of i 80 right there and then moving down to the south and east of where the scu complex fires are burning right now that is the biggest in the bay area and so all the red is a mandatory evacuation. a similar story there and it spreads into san joaquin and santa clara counties as well so right at the edge of anderson lake that's where we see the mandatory evacuations begin and then head east which is where a majority of that fire fight is now happening. out hamilton as you can see is just completely surrounded by the red and it is still in that warning zone as well parts of santa clara county around creek right here and the calaveras reservoir. now to the coast where the san mateo and santa cruz mountains. or where the czu firefighters happening so all along the coast from that operate here san gregorio down to where we see welder beach the only difference we have seen here today is that you see santa cruz has had their mandatory evacuations lifted. and so people can return if they are attending class there but i can't imagine that the air quality is very good right now. so we're waiting for direction from the school on what they're doing a but in the meantime everything the center here up along the edge of the north side of highway 17 and the west side of a skyline boulevard all this is still in the red and we have seen very little difference here on the coast we're going to have all that information continuing to be changed and updated for you all on kron 4 dot com back to you all right, thank you and as she just mentioned our coverage continues at kron 4 dot com. >>there you can find complete list of all the evacuation orders and warnings all those maps you can also track the wildfires on those interactive maps and find any alerts about the weather which is so important right now in your neighborhood again it's all a kron 4 dot com. >>and let's talk more about the weather with a live look at the golden gate bridge at this hour. there is some fog out there, although it's kind of blinded by the lights and a fog is good far especially right now let's check in with lawrence karnow with the details. yeah guys you know we've had a real deep marine layer that's allowed some of that nice moisture from the ocean to go all the way into the some of the interior valleys and of course. >>that helps to bring up the humidity and slow down the fires now we did have some winds gusting this afternoon we're still seeing some winds blowing in around these places over 20 miles per hour. so of course that can push those fires along little further to the north we go things around this fire right now you're seeing those winds have calmed down a little bit for more we had this afternoon wind was blowing over 20 miles per hour, although look into fairfield you've got some 30 mile an hour winds right to the delta right now continuing are little bit lighter and there's a whole lot more moisture in the atmosphere coast side that fog has been coming on shore even some drizzle along the coastline and woodward fire there along the coast, the winds have actually picked up since this afternoon 18 miles per hour or so, but the fog is there of course all that humidity. the atmosphere could help to slow things down some humidity levels may upwards of 96% tonight even stretching inland and you can see those clouds overlooking san francisco, right now plenty of those surging on shore of course air quality has been absolutely horrible this past week or so because of the fires tonight, maybe the best air quality we've seen in over a week and you can see the nice green here this is the good very good air quality stretching all the way in a bottle in the mill valley in oakland right now sam ramon in livermore some of alleys of course the air quality has been terrible now. it's still going to be bad from spot to spot as you're going to see those winds going totoebb and flow and these are very small particulates in the smoke, the flfle around the bay area. so certainly going to see sometimes in the air quality justnot going to that good pork lot topected for tomorrow in the north bay on healthy and possibly in the east bay in the south bay. a a od to moderate i think along the coastline. alright that being said low cloud and fog kind of locked in right now that is good news, but that marine there is going to start compress um what temperatures tomorrow will keep things down just a bit we're looking at 80's, the warm spots, inland 70's navies around the bay then you've got some 60's along the coastline with that patchy fog next 2 days here we go tomorrow going to cool you off then we warm back up on friday and the weekend we're back in the 90's in many of the valleys then we're going to cool things down just a little bit as we head into next week. >>lawrence thank you as you know we are following breaking news from the gulf coast tonight because of this hurricane laura, a category 4. and this is live radar an image of where the hurricane is right now as you can see it spinning. is just about to come ashore possibly within the next hour along the texas, o louisiana border. we will continue to track hurricane laura and lawyers will be back and we'll have a full report that's coming up tonight at 9.30. and

suspect was caught. >>he was running down the street and there are people chasing after him, they're saying that he shot somebody that you know like stopped then and so they were able to catch up to him because he trip and tell them. and that's when he said and then and that's when they were like saying get him and they jumped on top of them. and there was a struggle for the rifle. for a few moments there and the midget the fired off a few fired off multiple rounds. and he chipped that one person that was attacked and in the arm at point-blank range. and so obviously people are scattering. >>earlier tonight the wisconsin attorney general gave an update on the investigation into the night that police shot black man that confirmed by police jake jacob blake you shot in the back 7 times reportedly leaving him paralyzed. >>the attorney general said that blake had a knife in his possession at the time he was shot and can osha is not clear if that knife was in his hand or

were the first major league team to decide to boycott their day game tonight. the a's played in arlington against the rangers today. they won that game by the way. now as i previously said it was the bucks who started this entire domino effect that we're seeing in the sports world. they were supposed to take on the orlando magic in game 5 of their opening-round series. but the bucks refused to come out of the locker room, the bucs management and front office was not aware that the players had planned on sitting out and neither did their opponent the orlando magic. after this all transpired the nba stepped in and postponed the rest of the evening's playoff games which included the oklahoma city thunder taking on the houston rockets and the portland trail blazers taking on the los angeles lakers. the bucks players eventually emerge from the locker room and they read a statement as a teen. >>with the last few days in our home state of wisconsin we've seen her in this video taken place.

>>we'll show you a live picture from galveston texas and you can see it looks fairly calm, although the palm trees there on the left side of your screen or moving around in the waves don't appear to be very large but it's the storm surge that is the big concern galveston is a little bit west of where we're expecting the center of hurricane laura to come ashore right at the texas louisiana state line. >>and pour louisiana, new orleans has been his so many times lords as you know of his check in with you now they're calling this storm unsurvivable which foot to hear the weather forecasters say that in itself is pretty frightening. yeah, you know this for those storms you can't have one of those hurricane parties people talk about we're stalking. >>a 15 to 20 foot tall storm surge and on top of that you get waves maybe 20 feet high, so the storm really kind of an eraser it is going to erase anything right in its direct path, a look at that i now just about to make landfall. you can see some of the hurricane force winds now moving into cameron port arthur to feel at lake charles already seen some gusts over 50 miles per hour and here comes this is coming on shore right now so this is

seeing hurricane force winds. tropical storm force out a 120 miles we'll have a a wide swath of damage as the storm system comes on shore. it's that storm surge were really worried about all very low lying area so you've got 15 to 20 feet of sea water that's going to start to come on shore filling to the tributaries may the rivers many of the lakes and that could extend as much as 40 miles inland, so there's going to be area maybe 50 miles across and then extending 40 miles inland that we're going to see some major devastation by tomorrow afternoon as they're going to see that very heavy rainfall the storm surge the water can't get out and flooding everywhere they may not receive some the waters for several days right here the very latest still a strong category 4 hurricane sustained winds of a 150 miles per hour moving north northwest at 15. so this is coming on shore here folks in the next couple of hours. and it's going to be even strong even to move into a lake charles maybe
