Irregularities. Were all hoping that shell be okay. Reporting live in oakley. Im jody hernandez, nbc bay area news. Poor woman. What a scare for her. Thank you, jody. Lets check in with jeff ranieri. Its a good reminder that lightning is one of the leading killers when it comes to weather. So if you see the lightning or you hear the thunder, the best advice is to head indoors. Most of that activity again happening from the east bay over to the north bay from 11 00 a. M. To 1 00 this afternoon. Weve seen a lot of the lightning strikes from the bay area wind down at least for now. Most of the rainfall up toward napa with. 07 of an inch and it has been hit and miss, San Francisco nothing, and the Santa Cruz Mountains about a tenth of an inch. We have this upper level area of low pressure offshore right now and its helping to spiral an instability to the south and the next area im concerned about is the south bay as we could get some of these thunderstorms moving into gill roadway over the
Caused a ceiling fan to come crashing down. Looking at everything and realizing how serious this really was and could have been worse, it could have been worse. It could have blown my whole house up and my family was in it. I immediately got on the ground. She and her 7yearold grandson was in the front room with an uncle. It was like dropping grenades in front of you and letting them explode. The thunder and lightning caused a scare at Ohara Middle School up the street sending children running for cover but nobody was hurt. The strike came way too close. She was outside covering a load of hay with a tarp when the jolt knocked her right off her feet. I go, oh, god, thank you for not letting me die. Reporter and were back here live again. Youre looking at some of the damage that that lightning caused. The house remains without power tonight and were told it could take several weeks for the power to be restored, a city inspector will have to come out here and make sure everything is safe.
Speaker pelosis high one visit. First of all, dean chang, how did you view the choice by Speaker Pelosi to go to taiwan . Guest she was originally scheduled ago last fall. While coming down with covid, sort of ironically. This was a rescheduling of the visit, this is part of ironically why the chinese are reacting as strongly. They had several months to suade her from coming, and they failed. It is probably about as wellmanaged as it could be. She arrived in the evening, had meetings, but was promptly finished and flute onwards. Needless to say, beijing was not happy about it. It sent the message the u. S. Wanted. Host outwardly, the white house was not happy about it. What do you think, behind the scenes, the guidance they gave to the speaker and the potential flaw fall out it may contribute to the Biden White House . Guest i was disappointed in the white houses hesitancy and opposition to the visit. In this period, i think it is important for the u. S. To signal beijing that we conti
Case. This is what he says. I we are as a nation of laws and a jury has spoken. I now ask that we doing all we can to stem the tied of gun violence that claims too many lives across this country on a daily basis. If you discuss guns or race, the right wing lose their mind. This is not about race this is not about guns, then what the hell is it about . Of course it had to do with guns, of course it had to do with race. And thats the justification they use not it discuss issues they dont want to talk about it. If George Zimmerman did not have a gun Trayvon Martin would be alive today. You cannot dispute that. The guns that you love, the left wing, right wing, i know it cuts across lines but if there was no gun, Trayvon Martin would be alive tray. If you dont agree, you are disengenius and youre lying to yourself. Now should the feds pick up the case now that we got a not guilty verdict. Eric holder addresses that. Were mindful of the pain felt by our nation surrounding the tragic unneces
