>> reporter: depends on who you talk to, raj, but i can tell you the service center, which opened today, is set up to deliver the most help to people who need it the most, the poor. maria martinez held her 1-year-old as she and her mom and 8-year-old daughter told their story to red cross volunteers. before the quake they lived in a studio apartment inside this house on first street. >> she had a -- with her room and i was living in the living room. >> reporter: since the quake, all four have been living in a red cross shelter and they came here today hoping to find something a little more permanent. >> doesn't matter how big. >> reporter: martinez is desperate, however, most of the people we met here are not. many like david james and steven robin came here looking for help that the red cross can't provide. james' house fell off its foundations and is a total loss and needs to be demolished. their house is at the other end of the spectrum, hardwood floor warped and carpet ruined. both are looking for low-cost government loans that so far have not even been offered to napa residents. >> we've been waiting for fema to see if we can get a loan, low-cost loan, something, anything, to help us put the house back together. >> so at this point we're waiting for washington to say this is a disaster, so we can start working with fema. and until we have that, we're all stuck. >> reporter: david james and the family left the center today with the advice that they should try the county service delivery center, which has not yet opened. maria martinez and her family left in tears after being told to come back in a couple of hours because so many people have been waiting in line to see a caseworker. a read cross worker ran out to the parking lot to reassure them and to make certain they would return. so here's the deal with fema. fema inspectors are out now looking at properties and some time in the near future they'll make a determination. whether or not this quake rises to the level of a federal disaster. we'll have more on that coming up at 6:00. for now, reporting from napa, mark matthews, nbc bay area news. >> okay, thank you, mark. as the cleanup continues there in napa, mystery is unfolding in gilroy. the city had at least eight small tremblers this morning. the largest a magnitude 3.5. you certainly think it's large enough for some people to notice it. however, damian trujillo found out today's quake barely registered for most folks. damian? >> reporter: seismologists are studying the pattern of the eight earthquakes in gilroy today, for some reason may not be felt. alberto thought he'd try his luck in the lottery after being the only one in his family who felt today's magnitude 3.5 quake in gilroy. >> i feel a little shake, but i asked my members of my family, and they say, no, i don't feel nothing. >> reporter: did you feel the earthquake? >> no, sorry. >> reporter: we asked the clerk to rewind her surveillance footage to 9:10 p.m., the time of the first of eight quakes, we watched for several minutes and there was no visible evidence. in fact, the usgs only received 180 calls or clicks on its website today, compared to tens of thousands after the magnitude 6.0 napa quake. we also wondered why smaller quakes like a magnitude 2.5 a few months back sparked a bigger response than this larger 3.5 today. >> i didn't feel anything. >> reporter: the answer is that all not quakes are created equal. its shake meter shows today's 3.5 had weak to light shaking, possibly due to the depth. the usgs also says more people may have been doing some sort of activity this morning that distracted them. >> the rolling had started. >> reporter: those who did feel the shaker in gilroy say for a split second it was worries of napa all over again. i did look at surveillance footage from another store here in gilroy, that also showed nothing. raj and jessica, those are my favorite kind of earthquakes, the kind you can't feel. damian trujillo, nbc bay area news. >> you got it, damian, thank you. a deadly holiday weekend in contra costa county, a hit-and-run driver still on the loose and the 50-year-old victim has been identified. the coroner's office says michelle braz was killed last night. police say a truck hit her when it allegedly veered off the roadway, hit a light pole, then struck her. that driver was last seen in a silver 2005 or newer chevrolet truck. new legislation proposed to keep british citizens from going to fight alongside terror groups in the middle east and then returning to britain. cameron says border patrol police are limited to stopping suspicious people. >> we will introduce targeted legislation to fill this gap by providing police with a temporary power to seize at the border to investigate the individual's concern. >> cameron's proposed legislation is expected to win the approval of parliament. u.s. military officials say three more air strikes were carried out against isis targets in northern iraq. fighter jets and aircraft carried out air strikes near the mosul dam area today and yesterday. the strikes destroyed three isis trucks and vehicle and a mortar position near that dam. well, coming up, what a difference a day makes. today on this labor day, they are boating, but maybe not tomorrow. how the drought could dramatically change things at a popular lake. also -- >> i'm kimberly tere live in san francisco just steps away from union square, where this parking garage is drawing the attention of police and also the city's municipal transit agency. what has them concerned and what they are doing about it coming up. a bird's eye view of apple's new campus, a spaceship like you've never seen it before. can't say thank you enough. you have made my life special by being apart of it.

>> reporter: it's a busy place on any given day. 1,800 cars go in and out and it appears those vehicles have become a prime target for thieves. it's become such a problem, san francisco police is now increasing patrols and the municipal transit agency is considering security upgrades. san francisco's famed union square is a favorite destination for shoppers from around the world, but it's also become a popular spot for thieves. >> i assume this place is relatively secure, but i don't really have that confidence anymore. >> reporter: the sutter-stockton garage has seen an uptick in auto burglaries. now they are working with police to deal with the problem. >> generally for many years it's been just fine, but couple months ago, my car was stolen on the tenth floor. >> now i don't want to park here. >> reporter: for the most part, the burglaries have been the smash and grab types. they say the city-owned garage has considered a top priority for officers patrolling the area. meantime, they are warning shoppers to be more aware. >> don't leave valuables, don't leave anything in sight, and, you know, you're a gluten for punishment if you are. you know, wise person that reads the signs and pays attention and locks everything up or doesn't show anything. >> there's signs everywhere. we even take our coffee cups out and close those up so, you know, doesn't look like there's anything in there. >> reporter: you've been lucky so far?

the best way to lose weight, according to the national institutes of health. also, months after it went up in flames, something's finally happening at the site of a popular south bay restaurant. it's been eight months since san jose's flames restaurant was destroyed by a kitchen fire. the scorched remains are finally gone. a demolition crew knocking down what was left of the popular restaurant today. the site is cleared and only the foundation remains. the restaurant's owners have said they want to rebuild, but as the months went by, the site became a magnet for trash and graffiti. finally back in july the city declared it a blighted property. another local community's banning plastic bags. starting today, no plastic bags in sonoma county. the law was passed earlier this year, but local leaders gave people time to adjust to the rule. plastic bags don't break down quickly in terms of environmentally and contribute to litter problems. california could be the first state in the country to ban them at grocery stores. governor brown has until the end of the month to decide whether to sign the bill passed by lawmakers last week. it's been called the biggest advance against heart failure in more than a decade. doctors say a drug is reducing the risk of heart failure more than any other medication used right now. the information is out of a study in which 8,500 people are taking that drug. heart failure is the top reason that older americans go to the hospital and it's a leading cause of death. doctors say the drug could quickly change the care for millions of people. the new drug, which has yet to be named, could be available as early as next year. okay, should you go low fat or low carb to lose weight? a study shows it may be smarter to cut back on those carbs. researchers at the national institutes of health signed 148 obese men and women to low carbs and low fat diets. the other diet restricted fat, but included grain cereals and starches. after a year, researchers evaluated the results, the low-carb dieters lost the most weight and fat mass and lowered their heart attack risk markers. a look at the spaceship from the drone. >> we have a close-up view of apple's new campus. an eight-minute video taken by a go pro camera attached to a drone captured these shots. the view has gotten more than a million views on youtube and over 500 comments. nicknamed the spaceship, the campus is scheduled to be completed in 2016 and then home to more than 12,000 employees. it's located near 280 about a mile east of the company's current headquarters. big surprise for a family visiting a local amusement park. we'll show you what happened. stay with us. we'll be back in half an hour. coming up at 6:00, holiday stars hacked. how the fbi is responding to an icloud security breach and what it means for you on keeping your information safe. well, they got the golden ticket. today, great america reached a big milestone and the park gave one lucky family rock star status. the santa clara amusement park welcomed its 75 millionth -- is that how i say it?
