going to show you that coming up in the 6 o'clock hour from now i'm live in san francisco sarah stinson kron. >>always fascinating see that shake room works so be looking for for that thank you sarah with the anniversary there's an earthquake warning alert that is now available to everybody in california through a smartphone app developed at u c berkeley yeah, it's the app is called the my shakes us will need to look for when you download it and it produces based on the state's shake alert system. it doesn't necessarily predict earthquakes, but it does detect at least the start of them and likely have said it will give you least maybe a second or 2 warning just so that you're not started suppose when the shaking actually start your phone go off color you about to feel some shaking. >>and then it pushes education, it happens when the earthquake started it will it detects the those initial waves that start to happen down below ground, maybe we can't feel feel old yet right. those are those precursor ways and then the the real waves that cause the shaking. >>propagate throughout the area so they're actually saying you can download this app. and then you can also use

it to report whether or not you felt the shaking and how much it was and if he had any damage report all of that no use all of that data. >>he may get second before misery for either way if you have time you get underneath a door frame you can go in or table you go where there's a clearing you do a lot things in amounts. i'm so can stabilize the deathly delano highly recommend it. because it will help a lot of people and maybe save lives. >>you know it does then is it does with some people claim their pets, it's too right. started acting funny right for people have said that certain dyes and happens a way of mechanically feeling us, let's say can feel earlier absolutely and also with all this data they're collecting they say that the more they get and the more accurate. >>and the better they can make this app in this morning systems that encourage people to download it anreally use it when earthquakes strike when that loma prieta quake struck heavily. >>impact of the bay area. even years after. >>when it hit

>>kron four's will tran national treasure island right now with more on what happened 30 years ago today will. >>what happened the easter span right behind me broke and but cold so we have a new span in direct correlation to the earthquake because they want to make sure that it is safe moving forward the earthquake struck exactly 5 oh 4 30 years ago tonight and by the time it was over 63 people were killed 38 100 others injured. it did damage all across the bay area fires broke out throughout the city parts of freeways buckled and broke including the eastern span. we do know that they learned from that and that's why they start a rebuilding many of the buildings and structures all all over the bay area, including the eastern span. now i can tell you the eastern span started construction, 13 years after loma prieta it took 11 years to finish at a

cost of billion. but according to caltrans and they obviously thought about the 19 oh 6 earthquake, the 1989 earthquake. they say it know it sounds weird in counter intuitive but they say when another major earthquake hits is actually safe to be on the bridge. if you're on the bay bridge. >>the bridge is going to move a fair amount in a very large scale earthquake. but you shouldn't worry because that's what it's been designed to do so basically when you see earthquake is that the bridge would move and the tower that's up above you. it's actually made in for independent part so it can twist, it's ok and also you've seen the deck undulate move in waves, it's designed to do that and it will subside as the earthquake ends. >>as horrible as 90 earthquake 98 in earthquake was a could have been even deadlier because we all know the world series was in progress so the bay bridge at the time was a

lot lighter than normal because so many people that night we're at candlestick back to you, thanks a lot. well. >>well the 30th anniversary of loma prieta earthquake of course also brings back. memories of the deadly cypress structure collapse in oakland, 42 people were killed when that freeway collapse kron four's philly to call speaks with a retired firefighter who was among the first to respond. >>30 years after the cypress structure collapse the to dec freeway in oakland replaced with a green belt, no longer cypress street remains mandela parkway the rebuilt fire station number 3 located behind the cypress memorial that's where we met mark hoffman. he retired from the oakland fire department last year after more than 38 years of service eventually rising to the rank of chief. he was a lieutenant in 1989, when he and his crew of 4 were among the first responders to the cyprus saw a mushroom cloud.

with in a bunch of residential areas right here, i'm not far from downtown and this is a school that had started short of 10 years ago because attendant was on the rise and they had to me kindergartners in the school district starting school so obviously they needed to make sure that they accommodated that also had a lot of transitional kindergarten students as well that were just slightly before that age. they wanted to make sure got into the school system. however, this has been this decision to shut down the school has been something that they have been working on in deciding on throughout the past. few months because as they said. sandra fell city schools has said that they have been measuring attendance as well as the incoming classes of kindergartners and there just simply aren't enough. students to really accommodate the space here. now i want to go read you a statement for a press release sent out by the school district's i'm going to read that in part right now we're also going to put that up on your screen for you so you can see that. so it says right here a statement from sandra fell city school. the board

staff and task force understand this is a very difficult decision that will impact students families and staff at the same time everyone wanted she wanted to be very mindful of how the size of a school can impact student learning family engagement and overall success of the school community. now right now short school currently has about 100 students and they have a transitional kindergarten and grades 2 through 5. so right now again they say they just don't have and that students will be coming into the school district to go ahead and accommodate the larger facility here the theater originally built for an influx of students coming in. so this is again a decision put on by sandra fell city schools as well as that task force i'd mention that was a group of parents has ball supporters of the school that made that decision just last night now step 2 of this process now that they have voted to go ahead and shut down the school is obviously to let parents and family snow that this is something that's going to

happen. they of course are going to finish out the school year. but another step they're going to make is really decide how they're going to use this building in this facility after this school year reporting live here in sandra fell christina tetreault kron 4 news. >>all right, thank you christina. it's 5.34. church is facing more legal trouble over new claims of child-sex abuse. 3 women has filed a new lawsuit against the church. because of a new bill that was just signed by the governor. the law extends the deadline for child sexual-assault victims to file a claim. one woman says she was abused 40 years ago when she was 11 years old by monsignor vincent breen who worked at holy spirit school in fremont police investigated but the charges were never brought against him back sen. the new law signed by the governor give survivors of child-sex assault regardless of their age a 3 year window to bring civil lawsuits against any
