latest track . this possibly could strengthen into a category 3 and then by friday, there is a truck eventually turning to the north. possibly weakening along this path as well to the east. so that is the latest. it could reese melton into a major hurricane as early as tomorrow. still some more energy out there and some warm water to feel the system. in terms of storm activity for tropical storms and hurricanes, statistically this happens in the month of september. it's right on track for the peak of hurricane activity right now. care out toward the west, clouds and showers up to our north

san francisco and oakland are seeking billions of dollars from oil companies over climate change. losses were filed against the five largest investor owned producers of fossil fuels seven, conoco phillips, exxon, bp and shell. the companies knowingly and recklessly created an ongoing public nuisance that is causing harm now and in the future. they want the companies to pay for the consequences including funding infrastructure improvements to deal with rising sea levels. >> for decades they knew of the risk the products posted the planet but continued the massive production of fossil fuels. it was a deliberate decision to place company profits ahead of human safety and well-being. >> the losses were filed in superior court. the oil companies have not yet commented. with a major earthquake hitting mexico, we want to learn more about emergency preparedness. we are joined by the assistant chief at the buckley fire department. i wanted to go back to the last significant quake we had which was the napa quake in 2014. it woke me up. let's do a reminder. when a quake is occurring, what should we do?>> drop, cover, and hold. we teach that in schools and residents across the nation. you want to drop to your knees so that the earthquake doesn't tell you down. also, take your arm and cover your head and your neck in case of falling debris. if you can, crawl under something sturdy and hold on. >> and be familiar with your surroundings. an earthquake can happen in the middle of the night when it is dark and it could knockout the power. you might need to feel your way around. >> correct. >> after the clinic is hit, it could be a while before you get some help. what kind of stuff do we need in our earthquake kit? >> it can take up to three days before emergency services or regular functions are turned back on. kit should have water. that's the main thing. everyone needs water. we suggest at least one gallon per person for your family for at least three days. more a possible. that really takes up the consumption of drinking water and not necessarily preparation of food. have enough food for your household and any pets. for at least three days. other things you want our flashlights, radios, cell phone, a way to charge these devices. handcrank cell phones -- i'm sorry, handcrank flashlights or radios so you can tune into the emergency services. phone chargers can be done by a car adapter or a separate type of adapter. medical kits. medical supplies for your family. think about prescriptions or nonprescription medications and any dietary needs you might have. clothing. longsleeve shirts, long pants, sturdy shoes that can walk through debris and not hurt yourself is important. also sleeping bags. i recommend throwing a west deland. you can signal others for help. >> more long-term, let's say you're in a neighborhood that's hit in the whole bay area is affected by a earthquake so news reports may be brought in nature. you might be in an area where you can get information about your particular area. how do you find out about what's going on in your community quick >> for alameda county there's a c alert. you can go to alameda county .org to sign up for various communication means of getting information by cell phone, and your landline or email. nix ultra is another good way. every city has some type of reporting mechanism. your 16 10 am those are good avenues to get information for broad or for local areas. >> all right, that's all good advice. this time of year were more thinking about what's going on in mexico and it can happen here to. thank you very much. no change in the interest rates at least for now. the federal reserve is taking steps on another front. we will break it all down for you with our financial experts coming up next. hey! are you taking the tissue test? yep, and my teeth are yellow. time for whitestrips. crest whitestrips whiten... ...25x better than a leading whitening toothpaste. nice smile! thanks! i crushed the tissue test. crest. healthy, beautiful smiles for life. i ...prilosec otc 7 years ago,my doctor recommended... 5 years ago, last week. just 1 pill each morning, 24 hours and zero heartburn. it's been the number 1 doctor recommended brand for 10... ...straight years, and it's still recommended today. use as directed. the federal reserve wrapped up a three-day policy meeting today by leaving the interest rate unchanged. a december rate hike is still on the table and is likely. the fed is prepared to make other adjustments as needed to get inflation back closer to 2%. i am joined by morgan stanley's george machete. >> the financial market, it was a great meeting. no increase in terms of the lending rate that our banks borrow from the federal reserve. that essentially impacts us. that is flat for this month. the big thing is the balance sheet. >> this is really historic. they are going to undo what they put in place to pop up the economy. what does this reflect to you quick >> we are trying to get back to normalcy. right now we have $4.5 trillion of liabilities on the balance sheet. that is 20% of the gdp and too big of a number. in 2008 we had $1 trillion. we can't do that overnight, but we want to get back to that. >> how long will that help them what type of impact might that have?>> janet yellen is our fed chief today. her job comes up in february. she has been very cautious. she's always signaled what has happened. she told us it will happen slowly, probably $10 billion in the first month increasing to $50 billion. the federal reserve has a by mortgages and treasuries in order to keep the money supply going. that is their job. it's a very very important job in our economy. >> i want to get back to this idea of 2% inflation. that target?>> that's a good question. we like going to the supermarket and not paying an inflated price for goods and services. but the fed, their job is to control the money supply. if they see inflation creeping beyond 2%, that means the economy is starting to overheat and the cost of goods can get way out of hand. they are trying to raise the discount rate right now. what they are looking for is 3% inflation. that would be more of a normal rate. we are below 2%. we try and we try and it creates a lot of consternation and discussion. for us as consumers, it's a great thing. >> they have been talking about it. janet yellen has been very good about telling us what you want to do in the future. other fed chiefs have not. the market knows that she is going to do that and do it slowly. we do not know what the total impact is going to be unloading $4.5 trillion of debt. >> expected but historic in nature. what about this december hike? how significant do you think that will be quick >> it's really incidental. if they raise the rate by 25 basis points, bringing it from 1.25% to 1.5% it doesn't really affect the long-term rate at all. if you notice now, 30 year mortgages have slightly come down since the beginning of the year. this will not affect mortgages. it affects more the credit card rate. we are giving it a probability of 70%. the fed chiefs, 12 out of 16 voted on the to indicate that december might be a good time to do this. >> we will talk to you in december. thank you so much, george. there is a lot of yelling but there was nothing i could do for him at all. >> firefighters rushed to a home on fire but for one man it was too late. a major campaign promise for president trump but now there's a lawsuit over the border wall. we will break that down right after the break. at at&t, we believe in access. the opportunity for everyone to explore a digital world. connecting with the things that matter most. and because nothing keeps us more connected than the internet, we've created access from at&t. california households with at least one resident who receives snap or ssi benefits may qualify for home internet at a discounted rate of $10 a month. no commitment, deposit, or installation fee. visit att.com/accessnow to learn more. a lawsuit was filed over the trump administration's plan to construct a wall along the border of mexico. this is a key campaign promise. trump has insisted mexico would pay for building the wall which experts said the cost $22 billion and take more than three years to complete. i'm joined by john. the lawsuit was filed in san diego today. what's being alleged against the federal government quick >> our attorney general is taking the position that this is california's environment. the president has a lot of authority under immigration law, he has to follow the rules. in the rules that the department of homeland security is using to try to avoid and ignore california's environmental laws is authority that expired 10 years ago. what we are insisting on here in california to our attorney general is that the federal government follow the law. it's the same argument that has been successfully used against the trump travel ban. and other policies were the federal government has gone too far. >> i thought federal law always trumps state law. i didn't mean to use the word trump. you know what i mean. >> the president has a lot of power under immigration law. at the same time, california and 49 other states can have their own immigration policies. this is an intersection of environmental law with california as do the other states. but we are really talking about is reconciling the interest of the state in protecting its border in terms of this environmental law under coastal zone management and reconciling that with the federal government. what we really don't need is an executive order and a lawsuit. but we really need is for congressional to sit down with the president and to work with the states and try to determine what is the right remedy, what is the right process for protecting the border. in this way, the federal government goes too far. >> i'm curious about these lawsuits. is this in a sense as much about the case itself but also maybe get this tangled up and quartz over the course of time so the construction of the wall might never happen under the trump administration the by the time this gets to the courts he may be out of office and it could be another president who doesn't have the same feelings about building a border wall? >> if the president were on solid ground it wouldn't take long for the courts to resolve it. the reality is that two things are going on. one is a very deep disconnect between california and the federal government over the border. the second is a disconnect over what does president's authority is and how far he can extend. the legislation he is attempting to use said the california environmental laws and border protection laws, coastal management laws should be ignored. that was authority that congress gave to the president but only for two years back in the 1990s. so california is insisting that the federal government follow its own laws and that is something that deserves to be resolved by the courts>> all right. this case was filed today. obviously we will be following it as it makes its way through the court system. thank you for your time. we're learning more about the man who was killed in the early morning apartment fire in oakland. here's more from that complex near i-5 80 and harrison street. investigators are trying to figure out how this deadly fire started. >> reporter: the alarm went off just before 4:00 this morning as fire quickly swept to this apartment in oakland. when firefighters got here, they found a man on the ground outside this top floor unit. crews were unable to save him and he died here at the scene. a neighbor who did not want to show her face for that man calling out for help. >> i heard a lot of yelling. not normal argument yelling. i opened my door and he was engulfed in flames. there was nothing i could do for him at all. i think you took is us who are trying to let everyone know there was a fire. he was standing at the door fully in flames. it was bad. >> reporter: the man who was killed in this fire was 75-year- old mohammed ella connie. the formerly homeless senior citizen had lived in this building on fairmont avenue for the past two years. this complex is run by a nonprofit that houses low income residents across the bay area.>> this is a really great community and everyone was devastated by the loss. neighbors have come down to support each other. it is a tightknit community and very affected by this loss. >> reporter: this entire complex was evacuated and one woman was taken to the hospital to be treated for smoke inhalation. crews were able to contain the flames to just the one unit where the fire started. even though the fire did not spread, there was significant water damage to the unit just below. 2 people living below will have to be moved to another apartment while their apartment is repaired. investigators will be focused on trying to figure out how this fire started and why the man who was killed was unable to escape the flames. in oakland, ktvu fox2 news . coming up, another sharp jump in the area home

of realtors says prices rose more than 10% in the bay area from a year ago. the biggest jump was in santa clara county where the median price jumped 18% to $1.5 million. i'm joined by patrick carlisle. the median price now more than $1 million. >> yes. it's hard to believe. is odd as it sounds in the city, we consider anything under $1.6 million to be an affordable home. >> that's a bargain if you can snack them. talk to me about why we are continuing to see prices climb?>> at the end of 2015 and during 2016, all sorts of economic and political things happen. the oil price crash, brexit, the presidential election, and then in 2017, consumer confidence soared again. the stock market has soared in 2017. that makes people feel richer. interest rates plunged close to their historical lows. and there was an extreme shortage of inventory because sellers or owners are selling their homes less and less frequently. so all of those dynamics came together and created another crazy market in the bay area. >> and what .2 prices stabilize or perhaps drop? >> real estate, like other financial markets, this go in cycles. over the last 30 odd years there have been three cycles starting in the 1990s and then there was the.com cycle and then we had the prime bubble cycle and ever since 2012, we have been on a huge upswing in home prices throughout the bay area. if i could predict the cycles, i would be living in a 50,000 square-foot house on top of a mountain. >> i am waiting for the single mom cycle to roll around. i'm a single mom and is tough for me to get into the front door of buying a home. the prices are too high for someone like myself. what would you suggest that potential buyers do at this stage of the game? >> is very hard in the bay area. affordability has become an immense political and social issue here. the further out you get from san francisco and san mateo, the more affordable home prices yet. at least affordable by our definition. condos are less expensive than houses and that's almost the same in every county in the bay area. i wish i had an easy answer. >> i do too. patrick, always a pleasure. thanks as always for your insight. maybe we can rent out account for heather. we can come up with something. you can buy a bargain for $1.5 million. >> it really is depressing. and from what i hear, it was a different story back in the 70s. i think our parents bought their house for under $30,000. timing is everything. we are tracking clouds all day long. lots of overcast over a good portion of the region. some green is showing up to our
