flowing through the streets, and it smelled like fire. so i thought the church was done fofr the church building, and the damage meant the church couldn't open its daytime shelter. >> we were able to put up tents outside. our folks came in and as shocked as we were, our folks were equally like shocked. >> lydia branson is the executive director of the gubbio project, the nonprofit operating the shelter and other services out of the church to have your safe place be affected by something like a fire is jarring for everybody. and as for the weekend's easter services, the reverend says they've been given the go ahead by the fire department and the shelter will likely be open back up tuesday. but that could be short lived. >> the future holds construction , and when they doing the construction, there'll be a question of how we can do our services, especially sleep, while there's construction going on on the church. >> in the meantime, they're starting to collect donations in

freeways. he says the camera network will allow opd and the chp to get real time alerts for vehicles linked to crimes. >> which will aid and support the efforts of law enforcement to focus on stolen vehicles. this has proven technology. >> using these cameras for over five years. officials say it has been an effective tool for law enforcement. some residents worry about added surveillance infringing on privacy, but the company behind these cameras says state law provides safeguards against how the data is used. each camera is estimated to cost about $3,500 to operate annually. they are expected to be installed by the summer in the north bay. now, marin county officials issued their first public health alert due to rising. fentanyl overdoses is. the new alert system was created in response to an influx of 911 calls for both fatal and non-fatal

overdoses. they have also been testing their wastewater, much like san francisco, pointing them to a recent increase in substances of concern. officials hope their warnings can help bring down fentanyl related deaths mean cases remain on the rise, with nearly 100 cases reported in the u.s. this year. now that's almost double the total from all of last year. so how can you protect yourself and your family? abc seven news reporter lauren martinez has advice from local doctors. several bay area health officials are releasing a unified message be vigilant as measles cases rise. >> a lot of times when we're putting out statements, there's already a situation happening. this was really an opportunity for us to be more proactive, do what we really want to do and prevent cases, prevent larger situations from developing health officers from all nine bay area counties and others are urging the public to be up to date on measles vaccines. >> the message is particularly important for anyone traveling internationally out of the bay

area's three major airports, we are a hub for international travel in the bay area, and we know that people are going to be traveling internationally for spring break with their families, with their friends. the cdc says 90% of measles cases in the u.s. is linked to international travel. most cases reported this year have been among children 12 months and older who had not received the measles, mumps rubella vaccine. doctor jason nagata, a pediatrician, says measles presents the greatest risk for children under five years old. >> in general in the bay area, we're pretty good about vaccination rates. but that being said, we're not perfect and many kids got behind during the pandemic. their immune system and respiratory systems aren't as robust as older children and adults, the cdc says. >> mmr vaccines are 97% effective against measles. doctor kyle graham, an ob gyn, says they always check to see if immunity from the vaccine is still valid. in expecting mothers. >> we have been getting a lot more inquiries about, measles

vaccination and the mmr vaccine, the mmr vaccine is something that we check in every pregnant woman, to see if that, to see what their vaccination status is. there will be some people that need to get a booster. to be honest with you, i needed a booster. and so if you want to be, certain that your vaccine is still valid and still working, you can definitely talk with your doctor about doing a simple blood test in the south bay. >> lauren martinez, abc seven news. well, we have a little break from the rain in san francisco. let's check in with lisa. how's it looking? >> yeah, it looks like it's going to be sunny. but you know, those cumulus clouds you see in the distance are going to provide for showers and thunderstorms, some downpours, a level one system today. very unstable air, especially through the afternoon and evening. and we'll talk about a calmer easter , a warmer monday. and then stay tuned for the look beyond that's coming up as well. >> lisa, thank you. also ahead real estate mistake and a big one at that. a bay area woman

to exchange messages with reporters. now, according to the lawsuit, the employee was trying to kill the products and features they didn't like just by exposing them. apple is now seeking a jury trial, along with payback of the employees bonuses and stocks. it was filed in santa clara county superior court in the east bay, now, the port of oakland is considering altering the oakland airport's formal name, the metropolitan oakland international airport. officials now want to replace the word metropolitan with san francisco bay, so the full name would read san francisco bay oakland international airport. it would reportedly help airline service, sustain passenger traffic and reaffirm the airport's proximity to san francisco. the airport code and visual brand would stay the same . also in oakland, city leaders revealed plans for a development that will bring more housing and businesses to the city. the project is set to break ground in the next few months near the lake merritt bart station. and take a look. this is what the

completed project would look like. it includes more than 500 housing units, 200 of which will be designated as affordable housing. the development will also include office and retail space. the first phase will begin with construction of a senior affordable housing building, which will replace the bart station parking lot. here's another housing story, but this one's a wild one. a concord woman got what she thought was a great deal on some land in hawaii. she even planned to build a retreat center on it one day. but that whole dream is now on hold because someone accidentally built a home on that same lot as daryl huff reports, this could be a very costly mistake. >> in 2018, when she took this video, ann reynolds thought she'd found a perfect, serene one acre lot to host her meditative healing women's retreats. because of the natural foliage and alignment of all the right spiritual and astronomical elements. >> i mean, there is a sacredness

to it, and the one that i chose to buy, you know, that had it had all the right qualities, the price was also right. >> available in a county tax auction for about $22,000. but while she waited in california through the pandemic for the right time to use it, this happened. the lot was bulldozed and a house rose on the property without her knowing about it until she got a call last year from a real estate broker who'd learned the mistake. >> and then he informed me, oh, well, i just sold the house and it happens to be on your property, so we need to resolve this. and i'm like, what? i mean are you kidding me? >> an attorney for the builder pj's construction said the developer, keaau development partnership, hired him to build about a dozen homes on properties. the developers bought in a subdivision where lots are identified by telephone poles. pj construction said the developers didn't want to hire surveyors. see, there's a lot of fingers being pointed between the developer and the

contractor, and some subs. the unsellable house became a nightmare. a neighbor who requested privacy said squatters were immediately attracted to the brand new vacant house before they put the fence on this property. >> there were people coming already to this property started, you know, looking inside when she visited and saw the bathrooms, reynolds discovered they'd done more than just look. >> both had poop. the hallway one had poop on the floor, and it was so disgusting. >> along with the cost of fencing, she's also paying property taxes that went from a few hundred to several thousand dollars. the developers tried to settle the issue, offering to swap her their lot right next door or sell her the house at a discount. she refused both offers. attorney james dipasquale said she shouldn't pay for what she doesn't want. >> it would set a dangerous precedent. if you go on to someone else's land, build anything you want and then sue that individual for the value of it after trying to resolve the problem, co-development partnership sued pj's construction, the architect the

prior lot owner's family and the county which approved all the permits for construction. >> they also sued anne reynolds. >> it's awful. it's awful. >> yeah, really awful, a consumer nightmare. that was daryl huff reporting. now, the developer told local media he pulled all parties involved into this lawsuit, and he hopes a judge can help unravel this half million dollar mistake. now to this this morning, we have new insight from ucsf about this latest allergy season. you've probably heard it in my voice a few weeks back. doctors say the stuffy season is coming. earlier each year, according to an analysis of pollen count data from 60 stations across north america, spring allergy seasons begin about 20 days earlier. scientists attribute that to climate change affecting temperatures and plant growth. i spoke with a doctor, a ucsf pediatric allergist and immunologist, and he explains how allergies are having a significant impact on other

illnesses, especially patients with asthma. >> so when you combine these factors, lots of rainfall fueling the plant growth uh- the long terme impact of climate change on pollen levels, it creates a really challenging environment for allergy sufferers. >> yeah, i used to never get allergies until now. and doctor widomski says he gets cases like that every year. while it's possible to develop allergies at any age, genetics may play a role as well as changes in adult immune systems. but the rain will put some of those pollen problems on pause. lisa, we've been talking about this for the past few weeks, and checking out those home tests have been helpful. >> yes. so you get the rain, then we dry out in the sun and everything starts blooming again. so yes, i think we've all been feeling it. low pressure instability offshore, rotating counterclockwise so we definitely could see showers, thunderstorms throughout the afternoon really at any time. but look at southern california. really quite a mess here into san diego. so we're getting on

the backside of that system. pier 39, partly sunny, 52, san francisco 54, oakland, san mateo and san jose. and looking from vollmer peak, you can see the scattering of the clouds. a little bit of sun there. and that's really going to allow for those cumulus clouds to build up in height throughout the afternoon and create those downpours. so scattered showers, possible thunderstorm today, afternoon, evening, even late tonight, tomorrow partly cloudy. chance of a shower. but overall a much drier day. and then monday and tuesday. sunny warmer, some strong north winds. and then we do another 180. here's a look in the next several hours. so two 3:00 look what happens from south san francisco to san jose to the diablo range and even up towards the north bay, we get some pretty heavy showers. and with that we could see anywhere from a quarter to a third of an inch of rain. while some of you don't see anything at all. so as we get through the afternoon 11:00 into tomorrow, you'll notice that only a couple hundredths to nothing to nearly that third of

an inch. if you're underneath one of those strong thunderstorms in the sierra nevada. another foot of snow through tomorrow. and we're looking at temperatures in the 70s. monday tuesday. bayside inland. beautiful afternoon. wednesday we come down a little bit. thursday much colder. so today, low 60s out there, scattered showers, possible thunderstorm. it will be breezy at times. the egg hunts tomorrow . certainly some wet grass, but looking at low 50s a little chilly dry. the accuweather seven day forecast level one today tomorrow. mix of clouds and sun for easter april fools on monday. sunny warmer. so no joke there. but by wednesday and thursday we're trending cooler and then maybe even some showers by
