>> simpson grew up in san francisco's potrero hill neighborhood. he went on to become an nfl star, actor and broadcaster. simpson's athletic achievements and fame were eclipsed by his 1995 trial and the killings of his ex-wife, nicole brown simpson and her friend ron goldman. a jury found him not guilty. a friend of the simpson family says the athlete had the business sense to make the most out of his notoriety. when his time on the field ended . >> it happened until oj uh- athletes were often referred to as dumb jocks. they were not viewed as having a career or life after their athletic pursuits. o.j. broke that paradigm. >> simpson died in las vegas, surrounded by his children and grandchildren. >> oj simpson evokes mixed emotions for bay area residents in san francisco. he was a standout athlete who became a true superstar. >> abc seven news reporter ryan curry went back to the neighborhood where simpson grew up and joins us now in the studio. ryan yeah, a very

polarizing figure. >> obviously, we know about that trial in the 90s that really transcended the way people cover those court cases. and his background as an athlete for years, simpson was an honored athlete, an incredible one coming from a poor neighborhood in san francisco and turned into a superstar. we know his legacy changed during that murder trial in the mid 90s outside the betrayal hill recreation center is an old, faded mural. one of the athletes on the mural is oj simpson. this park and this gym is where he spent a lot of time playing sports as a kid. there is simpson on a baseball team in the late 50s. there he is again years later, posting with kids outside the ballpark. >> everybody in san francisco was so, so proud that he was a san franciscan. >> he attended galileo high school before playing at city college. he finished his collegiate career at usc and spent 11 seasons in the nfl, finishing with the 40 niners. but for the neighborhood, he left behind, there are questions about the impact he had. >> i mean, should have brought some of that money back to the community. he did though. he was giving us trophies, though i play sports up there we used to

play at and he brought us trophies every year. basketball football and baseball. he put enough gets a great block and o.j. simpson has done it. >> a career many say they hadn't seen from a running back. i just wonder if the three of us at this moment fully realized what it has been. >> our great privilege to watch oj simpson run for 2000 yards in one season. >> his athletic achievements were remarkable. i mean, he 2000 yards rushing was considered absolutely unattainable. and he did that and he did it in buffalo where it was snowing and it was raining. it was a terrible conditions. >> he became a pop culture icon, starring in several movies in the 80s. and then everything changed in 1994 from police headquarters in los angeles, where there is a manhunt underway for oj simpson. >> i'll have that story. >> it was just such a big figure, larger than life figure, to see him in the back of a bronco riding down the freeway. it just was. it was surreal. >> the trial about the death of simpson's wife grabbed the whole world's attention, impacting simpson's family here in san francisco. >> i should like to think that i

brought them through their challenges. >> reverend amos brown knows the simpson family well and says his life and legacy is bigger than one moment. >> mr. simpson's life mirrored the human predicament. triumphs and tragedies. >> reverend brown went on to mention he was a close friend of the simpson family for years. he says no matter what someone has been through, there is always a chance to treat them with kindness. ryan curry, abc seven news. >> and what an experience it must have been to witness history. dan yeah, it really was in so many ways. >> thanks, ryan very much. you know, i covered the o.j. simpson trial for abc seven news in 1995 and was there for the last two weeks of the trial, including the verdict. the verdict in the simpson case is finally end, but the jury is still out on how this so-called trial of the century will ultimately affect our perceptions about justice in america. dan ashley, channel seven morning news is, if we

only had ron and we were there, as i said, for that final two weeks, dionne and you know, to be there outside the courthouse to watch hundreds and hundreds of people who gathered, especially the day the verdict was read. it was so dramatic. it was tinged with tension, concern about which way it would go and how people would react. there was even a bomb threat one day and they evacuated all the media from the compound, except my photographer, and i hid and we were to stay on the air. but there was a tension and it was a circus like atmosphere. it was almost surreal, but you knew you were watching something that was historic. >> yeah. especially knowing also that the entire world was watching with bated breath. yeah. >> and it really was at a time long before social media. right. and the proliferation of news in the same way that it is now. so people really watched television in huge numbers. this spectacle that was the o.j. simpson trial of the century. for more on oj's life and death, check out all of

our stories on abc seven news.com. >> well, moving on. new at six san francisco police are now looking into an incredible video of a tow truck trying to tow a moving car. the video, which i first brought you last night at 11, has gone viral. it shows a tow truck backing up into a vehicle, trying to hook it with the driver and a passenger inside. today we're learning new details about the tow company. abc seven news reporter luz pena has been talking to san francisco police and the city attorney about this incident. she joins us live right now. loose. >> that's right. dion. yes. the san francisco police department is investigating this case. the city attorney tells me they have been tracking this towing company since last year. and recently blocked them from doing business with the city. it was a terrifying experience that joanne and her husband are still processing. >> we were freaking out. we were calling. we were like, basically rolling down our window saying like, hey, like, what are you doing? like, you can't be doing that out of nowhere, this yellow tow truck began to back up and

try to drag their vehicle while they waited at a red light in san francisco. so she started backing up and his lover came down. and, and so basically, he's just backing up, trying to latch on to our car today, the san francisco city attorney confirmed the towing company, specialty towing, is known to their office for violating state laws. >> prior to this incident. >> this company appears to be the same towing company that my office had previously moved to suspend and debar from receiving city contracts. >> after viewing the video, city attorney chiu said the latest incident is simply illegal. >> it could likely be violating a number of laws, potentially criminal laws. the fact that we have seen yet another way in which this company is violating the law, unfortunately, it's not surprising, but, but the video is shocking nonetheless. >> prior to this incident, the city received complaints from multiple victims who were allegedly scammed by specialty

towing. the city then proceeded to block specialty towing and or other towing companies under the same ownership. from working with the city on enforcing parking laws, specialty towing is an affiliated company with a company called auto towing, so they're all essentially part of the same operation. >> auto towing had been illegally towing cars off a private lot without out the permission of the property owner , on top of that, they were strictly limiting the hours during which cars could be picked up and pressuring the owners to pay in cash. >> we called the towing company's phone number and the operator hung up on us. so we showed up to auto towing in the bayview, searching for answers. obviously closed. let's try to call them again while we're here on the phone. we were told auto towing is no longer in business and the person denied being connected to specialty towing. sfpd is now urging other victims to come forward. >> it is insane, but we do ask the victims to, if they have

encountered something like this, to contact the police department immediately, the city attorney said. >> specialty towing allegedly also defrauded san francisco taxpayers to receive welfare benefits. in this case, it's still unclear why the couple was targeted. the couple said they filed a police report last night and confirmed that the car is paid off, as well as the registration in the newsroom. luz pena, abc seven news we appreciate your tenacity trying to learn more. >> thank you for that report, luis. thanks. >> happening now it is official. oakland's airport name is changing to the san francisco bay oakland airport. here's a live look at the abc seven oakland airport camera. the port of oakland's board of commissioners unanimously approved the plan to change names in just the last hour. officials in san francisco not very happy about this. abc seven news reporter tim johns is live at port headquarters with the details. tim. another shoe will drop. they've threatened to sue.

>> yeah, dan, this is certainly just the first step in this story. >> one important thing to note, though, even though the port did vote yes, this is not completely finalized as of yet. it still needs to go through a second reading and approval. although that is probably just a formality at this point. that will be coming up at a meeting on may the 9th. now, after taking public comment on the issue and then speaking themselves, the port of oakland's commissioners all voted in favor, each of them saying they think the move will enormously benefit the city of oakland and the entire east bay region. as for folks in san francisco, of course they've been very vocal about their dislike of the move and have even threatened legal action, something the port of oakland says they're not afraid of. nobody owns the san francisco bay. >> the port operates and is the steward for 20 miles of land along the san francisco bay. our airport is on the san francisco bay, and i think we just want to lean into the fact that that is a very recognizable identity here, that we want to be able

to, use. >> now, folks in san francisco say they worry the name change will cause passenger confusion and could even cause people to fly into the wrong airport. we caught up with sfo spokesperson after the vote to hear his reaction. >> well, we're very disappointed that oakland has chosen not to collaborate with us to come up with a solution. that kind of meets their needs and addresses our concern. >> and as for that potential lawsuit, san francisco city attorney david chu did send us a statement almost immediately after that vote came down. and he says he's disappointed that the port of oakland didn't choose to collaborate with the city further on alternative name changes for the airport. and he says they will have more on that potential litigation in the coming days. but for now, i'm live in oakland. tim johns, abc seven news. >> tim, so interesting now that this step has been taken, there will be other steps coming. we'll see what happens. thank you very much. >> a double whammy for bay area

fishers. one season shortened. another season canceled altogether. it's all about balancing priorities, but it's affecting their bottom line. also ahead. >> using sound to save whales a program along our coastline has proved so successful, it's expanding. >> i'm meteorologist sandhya patel. say goodbye to the warmth. wet, colder weather is on the way. i'll have your weekend

and california has now canceled its commercial salmon fishing season for the second consecutive year. abc seven news reporter lena howland talked with fishermen about the impact of their bottom line. >> for the second year in a row, california won't be having a commercial or recreational salmon season. >> salmon is about 90% of my income on an annual basis. >> it's a massive hit for seafood distribution. the charter boat industry and coastal communities, but especially for commercial fishers like salmon captain sarah bates. she says it's already putting people on her fleet out of work. >> many of us are unfortunately not finding work on land. bank accounts are unhealthy. mental health is even more unhealthy right now. and i do fear that we are going to start losing members of our fleet. we're going to start losing some of our capacity as a port to deliver seafood to california. >> still, many fishermen tell me this is a double gut punch after dungeness crab season has

already been cut short. >> salmon and crab is kind of our iconic san francisco fishery. they've closed it down again, mainly because of water policy issues, as most water is going down south into the desert to grow almonds, they're taking that out of the river system. >> the california department of fish and wildlife says low fish populations are just one of the reasons for the closure. >> ultimately, it's not enough water for all interests, especially in years of drought. we chose to be extra conservative, close those fisheries so that they have the best chance of returning and spawning and sort of building our stock status back up to healthy levels as quickly as possible. >> governor gavin newsom has requested for a federal fishery disaster declaration. in a statement, he said we'll continue working with the biden administration and congress to ensure california's fisheries and impacted communities are supported during this critical time. as for the $20.6 million that was allocated for last

year's closure, that spend plan hasn't been approved by congress yet. >> we're still waiting. but what we're asking for is actually something much, much greater than $20.6 million. what we need is a comprehensive and funded plan to bring back our salmon population so that we can go back to work in san francisco. >> lena howland abc seven news. >> fog. and now an upcoming storm is hampering efforts to locate a distressed whale off the california coast. the gray whale was last seen off the daly city coastline, dragging a gill net that got tangled around its tail. as you can see clearly, a fish and wildlife officials want to locate the whale and put a tracker on it so they can eventually cut the gill net and free this whale. >> a system that's protecting some of the most magnificent creatures along our bay area coastline is expanding, and as abc seven news weather anchor spencer christian explains, it's paying additional dividends as well in what's becoming a whale of a success story. >> when you have a great idea, word spreads pretty fast, and

now an ocean going system that's protecting whales here in the bay area is expanding to the east coast and canada. doug mccauley directs the benioff ocean science laboratory at uc santa barbara. two years ago, the benioff group teamed with the marine mammal center to install a system of acoustic buoys off our coast. the system can detect migrating whales, warning ships in the area to slow down to avoid deadly collisions on the west coast. >> what we do is we couple that vessel analytics, surveying and tracking how vessels are paying attention to the slow speed zones that the government puts out for whale safety, as well as also tracking the whales, he says. >> the whale safe system also relies on satellites and massive databases to track the movement of ships, as well. and on the east coast, the information could be critical for an endangered species known as the north atlantic right whale, whose population has now dwindled to the hundreds and they're already sitting on the edge. >> this precipice of extinction.

and to that gets scary. and that's where tools like this then come through and we hope will help make a difference for their survival. >> similar data also drives a voluntary vessel speed reduction program that's benefiting the bay area environment in several ways. jessica morton is with noaa, the national oceanic and atmospheric administration. she says over the last year, their effort, known as protect blue whales and blue skies, not only cut the risk of ship collisions, but also the amount of dangerous air pollution, and we end up seeing tens of thousands of metric tons of regional greenhouse gas reductions when they slow down to these target speeds of ten knots or less, nearly three dozen major shipping companies now participate in the voluntary program, and researchers are hoping that similar cooperation will ultimately help protect threatened whale populations worldwide. >> nobody wants to run over whales, and none of these companies do so. they genuinely also are looking for that

information so they can help become part of the solution. >> in san francisco, spencer christian, abc seven news now when the blue whales, the blue skies program that all started, it offered financial incentives to shipping companies. >> but listen to this. noaa says the shippers are now reducing speed voluntarily in these sensitive areas without being compensated, so it's on their radar. also says he said in the piece, you know, no one wants to hit a whale. >> that's right there. all right. let's turn our attention now to the weather forecast. as we enjoy just another lovely day. >> yeah, we're trying to hold on to. >> all right, well, you know what? get outside diane and dan this evening and just enjoy the nice weather we have because it's changing very rapidly. let me show you the high temperatures for today. it got up to 83 in livermore, concord, uh- 81 in san jose, 84, san rafael, 78 in santa rosa, oakland, 74, san francisco 65. and it was 60 degrees in half moon bay. winds are picking up those gusty onshore winds are going to take those temperatures

down. we're already starting to see it right now. gusts 33 miles an hour at sfo, 22 in half moon bay. lots of sun here in san francisco, 58 degrees. oakland 63. you're at 73 in san jose and a chilly 55 in half moon bay. san rafael camera showing you a nice view. it's bright. it's going to be changing tomorrow. 69 in santa rosa, 71 in napa, 70s for you in concord and livermore. high pressure has been controlling our weather. that's what brought us the warmth yesterday and today. but that ridge of high pressure weakens and we have a storm that is developing that's going to be heading in our direction as it does. you're going to really notice some dramatic changes from our east bay hills. camera seeing bright skies as we look towards mount diablo tomorrow. sharp drop in temperatures late tomorrow night, spotty showers arrive, and saturday we're talking rain. snow on our peaks and chilly conditions. it's really going to feel like winter around here. 7:00 tonight is still going to feel like spring, at least inland. don't worry, 70s inland 50s coast side. the

fog will begin to expand and overnight you're going to notice the clouds come in as well. so tonight you're looking at 9 p.m, 5060, still comfortable. but as we head towards tomorrow morning, the fog layer is pushed over parts of the bay along with the cloud cover. 40s, 50s. as we go into the afternoon, the biggest change you're going to notice is those temperatures are much lower than where they were today. your morning numbers in the 40s and 50s. you might want to give yourself a little extra time to get to where you need to go, especially with the some of that fog forming along the coastline may be dense again, upper 50s to the upper 60s. tomorrow afternoon you're looking at partly to mostly cloudy skies, and it's going to be breezy as well. saturday, those temperatures are going to drop off even more. i mean, when you're only in the 40s and 50s, it's going to be quite the shift from what you're used to sunday. the temperatures do moderate a little bit, but still running behind where they should be for this time of year. so let's talk. rain comes in late tomorrow night. just spotty showers at 10 p.m. we go into saturday morning and this is

when most of the steady rain is through here. snow is coming in over mount hamilton, the santa cruz mountains, some of the hills up to our north. scattered showers are going to continue for your saturday so you may see some sun breaks, some showers and this carries over into sunday as well. there is a chance of thunder during this time period. rainfall estimates most of you will get a good soaking out of this. about a half an inch to an inch and a half. the santa cruz mountains, expecting over two inches of rain. here's your accuweather seven day forecast. it's a dramatic drop off in the temperatures tomorrow, and an increase in the cloud cover. mix precip for saturday. time for the jackets again, a level one storm uh- numbers will only be in the 50s. sunday is a level one, a chance of thunder and then we'll really bring back some dry, milder spring like weather next week. but dan and dion until then we've got to start looking for all those things. the umbrellas, the jackets. i know where mine are, but i'm just saying i don't know where mine are. so that's why you're like, what? yeah i know

where they are, but i'm refusing to put them on. oh, okay. maybe that's right, dan. maybe that'll work in your favor. >> i like his thinking. >> all right, well, the people who clean office buildings are now fighting to clean up their own industry. >> and they made sure people in downtown oakland today knew all

a super thin, flexible patch with maximum otc strength lidocaine that contours to the body to relieve pain right where it hurts. and did we mention, it really, really sticks? salonpas, it's good medicine.

well today. tech stocks in particular. while the dow closed flat, the nasdaq ended trading up 2.71. the s&p gained 38. investors were relieved to see the producer price index, which measures inflation at the wholesale level, come in lower than expected. yesterday the consumer price index, which measures inflation at the retail level, came in higher than predicted. >> the men and women who cleaned office buildings across the bay area are expressing their concerns about what they call abusive working conditions. when cesar tsay says hundreds of janitors chanted yes, we can in spanish as they took part in a protest on the streets of downtown oakland. today, they're part of the united service workers west union, and their contract with some of the state's biggest office building owners is set to expire at the end of the month. they say the job has become more hazardous and grueling in recent years. >> one out of three janitors is being hurt in these buildings. cleaning up to 60 bathrooms a

night. that is an abuse, and it's an exploitation of labor. >> the union is backing a newly introduced state assembly bill that would limit workloads to less hazardous levels. >> still to come meet the stanford team that built the world's largest digital camera. and get this it can spot a golf ball from the moon. >> also, you can't have your head in the sand and think, oh, i'm not at risk. i'm a young woman and i don't have family history. how artificial intelligence can help some women detect breast cancer early and beat it. >> stay with u

former football great from san francisco who was accused of and ultimately acquitted of the brutal 1994 slayings of his ex-wife and her friend, has died . our our abc7 news reporters who covered the trial remember it vividly. lyanne melendez tweeted this clip, and i'm lyanne melendez, live from police headquarters in los angeles, where there is a manhunt underway for oj simpson. >> police spotted simpson late in the afternoon in this white bronco. >> leanne joins us live on our

3:00 pm program to show to share her thoughts about what happened then and now. >> i think it started to divide america as well. you know, a lot of people, were adamant that he had not done it. that and they defended him. and while others were saying, oh, yes, we believe i think, you know, public i think you were right. but to say that the public opinion, the vast majority of people think that he really did it, so it really i think it was, it was coming out that it really king it was coming after a lot of things that mistrust towards the police department and then mistrust towards the media as well, so it was very, you know, it was very trying times on all, you know, fronts. >> abc seven news i-team reporter dan noyes also covered the trial for us for the prosecution's opening statement. >> christopher darden described 17 years of abuse that nicole brown simpson suffered with her famous husband after darden described the years of abuse, it

was up to marcia clark to deal with the day of the murders. she traced a trail of blood from the crime scene to simpson's ford bronco to his very bedroom, and a blood stained pair of socks, blood on one spot matched the defendant. >> the blood on another spot matched nicole. >> the defense will finally get a chance for their opening statements in the morning. judge ito must still decide whether we'll be able to broadcast those remarks or dan recalls the media circus and how the trial changed modern news coverage. this was about ten years after cable news began, and so you had the cable news networks going wall to wall with this. this was being covered by all of the regular networks abc, nbc, cbs, all during the day. this trial was live, and so when you're when i arrived there, at first it was just this media city, satellite trucks for blocks and that sort of thing. and, and really reporters from all over the world. i mean, it was just an all encompassing, all engrossing job. i mean, working from early

morning till late at night. >> that's what we did. we showed a clip earlier of me reporting for the morning news here from the oj simpson trial. we worked until the middle of the night until 11 that evening, and it was such a media circus, and it was so different because media from all over the world came to la to cover that trial. and it was a very intense experience. well, oj simpson died from prostate cancer. he was 76 years old. >> now here in the bay area, a company is now using fda approved artificial intelligence to help detect kinds of breast cancer. and abc seven news reporter stephanie sierra shows you the experience being offered at san francisco's eve wellness. what stage were you in stage three? >> at age 38, jenna williams was diagnosed with stage three breast cancer. she was in disbelief. >> there's just no way i'm too young. this can't be possible. i didn't know where to go. i didn't know who to talk to. >> after noticing the lump, she couldn't get an appointment with her doctor, so she tried eve wellness, an ultrasound imaging center in san francisco. that's

using fda approved artificial intelligence and within what period of time were you in the clinic? 12 hours. within 12 hours, she got screened. eight days later, she had her diagnosis. >> i was is overwhelmed. >> breast cancer will impact about 1 in 8 women in the united states. uh- 1 in 4. if you have a family history, eve wellness co-founder brendan foley says his clinic uses what's called an automated breast ultrasound machine. >> it's one of only three in san francisco that scans several images on each side of the breast. >> you can see we're taking a square image. this is a reproducible image. we're taking with the ge bus. and with that, the scan will go across the breast. >> the ai scan uses a software that compares the images taken against roughly 200 million other breast scans. i tried it myself. >> okay, i just want to verify that kiersten taylor, the clinical imaging specialist, performed a risk assessment.

this will assess your risk of breast cancer in your lifetime. we're going to be doing a total of six images. >> the screening began lying down. >> it's going to be adding quite a bit of gel just on this first one here. >> the scan costs about $350, takes about 20 minutes, with results back in 48 hours. >> typically speaking, cancers do appear white on mammograms, so in all of these white areas, it's going to be a lot more difficult to identify if there's a cancer. we capture images right up in that armpit area. >> the clinic's physician says the ai software hasn't misdiagnosed any breast cancer since using it three years ago. the typical breast screening age is 40. some women prefer ultrasound screening because it's free of radiation and there's no age restriction or doctor referral needed, and for others, it may be more effective than traditional mammograms. a study by the national cancer institute found mammography is more likely to miss cancer among

women with dense breast tissue. >> we've actually looked at this very carefully, and this has been going on for a long time. so if you have dense breast tissue, it it does. you it's hard to get sound waves or x rays through the tissue. >> doctor laura esserman is a surgeon and breast cancer oncologist at ucsf, where she is the director of the breast cancer center. she says ultrasounds typically have high false positive rates, adding other options for women with dense breast tissue, especially if you're a mutation carrier. our contrast based exams, like iv contrast mammography or an mri, because that allows you to look at how well vascularized what the blood flow is to a tumor. >> and those that's a much more sensitive exam. >> esserman leads the wisdom study that compares annual mammograms versus personalized approaches to breast screening. that's based on individual risk. >> the rates of breast cancer have been increasing, in the

united states as well. >> a recent study published in the journal of the american medical association found rates of early onset breast cancer has increased by nearly 4% among u.s. women from 2016 through 2019. and while women over 50 are at higher risk, this study found a rising trend of breast cancer among women under 40. >> again, in young women, it isn't as common, but it's still common enough that you have to be aware and you can't have your head in the sand and think, oh, i'm not at risk. i'm a young woman and i don't have family history. >> look at patients like williams, know family history and diagnosed in her 30s. coming here expedited my entire experience. >> it wound up to be like a very rare, very aggressive cancer. if i waited months for appointments in the hospital systems, it could have been even worse. >> after six months of chemo, we're happy to report she's now cancer free. stephanie sierra,

abc seven news. >> which is so good to hear. and as stephanie mentioned, the screening cost $350. you can learn more at my eve wellness.com. >> new developments now the chp has arrested the suspected driver in a deadly weekend crash that killed a nine year old girl and the contra costa county da's office is reviewing the case. the chp shared this photo of the suspect with his face covered at yesterday's arrest. he's in jail on $200,000 bail. that crash happened on sunday on northbound interstate 680, in concord, near 242 before dawn. the car went off the road and flipped several times. the chp says some passengers weren't wearing seatbelts at the time and were thrown from the car. the nine year old died on the scene for other women went to the hospital. the driver left the scene. >> as we move on here, mosquitoes are annoying, but they can also be dangerous, especially to people in the south

along my shadow lane in the east san jose foothills. people who

live there are being asked to dump out standing water so the mosquito can't bre. abc seven news reporter zach fuentes shows you the other efforts underway now to eradicate them. >> this is one of the adult aedes aegypti mosquitoes caught by santa clara county vector control traps. >> they have these dark legs with these bright white stripes and spots. those can be visible even by eye. so if you had one, you know, in your hand and you hit it, you may be able to see this kind of black and white pattern, those distinct black and white markings on their back and legs aren't the only things that differentiate them from other mosquitoes. >> this mosquito prefers humans. it's aggressive in nature compared to others, and it's a day biting mosquito where usually mosquitoes bite at sunset. you know, at dawn, a bite from this mosquito could bring on diseases like yellow fever and more deadly diseases to humans like zika, chikungunya, dengue. >> this is the east san jose neighborhood, where the county says it's so far found all of the 80s aegypti mosquitoes are concerned with. so they're now coming in here with specialized

traps. >> they prefer humans over other animals, so we can use human lures which smell like sweaty socks. and that is more likely to attract the aedes aegypti to our trap. >> the county said mosquitoes look for specific places to create a habitat. >> we're talking dog bowls, old tires, tarps, any containers that can hold any amount of water are are containers that can possibly help 8-80 aegypti reproduce and get established. >> that's why they say it's important to eliminate any of those potential habitats on your property. the county said staff is carrying out an eradication plan in the surrounding area that includes inspecting the outside of properties, but they're also urging everyone to do their part. so far, many residents in the area say that they're now on top of it. >> i always collect rainwater over the winter, so yeah, so now i've got all my buckets capped, the ones that are still have any water in them at all. >> if you encounter any mosquitoes where you live, you're asked to contact vector control in santa clara county. zach fuentes, abc seven news. >> well, today was our last warm day before some cooler

temperatures and rain arrives. sandhya shows you what the weekend will be like. part of her seven day forecas stinging, 5-times-a-day,... ...makeup smearing drops user. i want another option that's not another drop. tyrvaya. it's not another drop. it's the first and only nasal spray for dry eye. tyrvaya treats the signs and symptoms of dry eye disease fast by helping your body produce its own real tears. common side effects include sneezing, cough, and throat and nose irritation. relying only on drops? not me.
