it's octobe17, thursday and i'm gasia mikaelian. >> i'm dave clark and we are talking about a lot, including the weather. >> a little bit. it's all gone now. clearing the area. a weak system. san francisco and san jose in mount diablo picked up .08 inches and there wasn't that much. the breeze is picking up and that will be a factor as skies clear from north to south with a little bit of light drizzle holding on in the santa clara valley but the airflow is out of the west-northwest and that will be the wind direction today and will be cool as temperatures settle into the low 70s. on the coast, a lot of 60s from bodega bay to santa cruz. the system is producing a little bit of rain in the sierra nevada but not too much. the breeze is picking up, westerly from santa rosa to

oakland and out to fairfield. 40s and 50s on the temps with a blustery day on the peninsula and mid-50s for everybody. woodside 51 and 57 over to fremont with mostly sunny skies and breezy to windy at times with a cooler pattern the next couple of days and we will see temperatures holding where they are today into friday and then by the weekend we will see warmer patterns. 60s and low 70s. sal is here and what do you focus on first? the east bay commute. we went on the air at 4:00 a.m. and it was wet in some areas but now it has dried off in some spots. as steve said, the wet weather has moved out and it may be damp but it did kind of miss the morning commute and that is good for us. if you are driving on the east bay commute, 580 at the tracy triangle is very, very slow because of earlier crashes and we also had slow traffic on vasco road because of an

earlier grass fire near camino diablo with the fire out now but it did damage with traffic on 280 and san jose slow. it's better than yesterday, anyway. some wet weather, it was really wet. now, it seems to be drying off. 7:02 and back to the desk. many in the bay area have never been through an earthquake that is a magnitude 6.9 but that is how big the loma prieta quake was 30 years ago today. >> i remember it. >> i bet you do. >> greg, you got a chance to experience a simulation of an event in san francisco? >> reporter: right now, i'm at the civic center plaza and i'm actually in an earth quake simulator. i was in the loma prieta earthquake, a 6.9. 30 years ago, i don't remember what it felt like but a short time ago, i got a reminder of what that experience was like.

the shaking that i just went through last as six sevenths of a second and was very close to loma prieta, which did widespread damage. it was more damaging and the message as we come back live is to prepare for the next big one and if i did what the experts recommend during the demonstration, i would have dropped to the ground and covered my head and grabbed onto something. that's what the experts recommend you do during an earthquake. to learn about that and a host of other things, come to the civic center plaza and the experts will be here until 9:00 this morning and that's the latest from here. back to you.

later this morning, governor gavin newsom will be in oakland to launch the earthquake alert system that will be the first statewide early warning system. starting today, warnings will be pushed through a smartphone app called my shake as well as the same system issuing amber alerts and it detects the start of an earthquake and cannot predict one but when it starts, alerts will be sent to areas where shaking is likely to happen more magnitude 4.5 or greater and we hope you will stay with us because we bring the ktvu special called quake country and you will see that on ktvu after the thursday night football sports wrap. the investigation of the explosions and fires at the nustar petroleum plant in crockett. surveillance videos and files are trying to figure out what caused it all with cleanup trucks still there vacuuming up the safety foam dumped on the ethanol storage tanks that burst into flames.

cal osha will interview employees and check safety and maintenance records. >> it may include sending some materials and pipes, etc., to specialists for information on exactly what occurred. >> investigators want to know whether the fires connected to monday's magnitude 4.5 quake near pleasant hill and they don't expect a jump in gasoline prices because this facility stores facility stores fuel, does not produce it. facebook seo mark zuckerberg will outline what he describes as the most comprehensive take on the subject of freedom of speech and expression on a facebook live report. he will explain why he believes giving the voice to people goes hand-in-hand with bringing them together. he will discuss free speech and major threats against free expression. you can see the address by

we want to be able to live and serve our community. >> those workers plan to vote on the offer october 22. it's 7:06 and people in oakland are living in vehicles and it is rising. according to them, the population of people living in cars, vans and rvs more than doubled over the last two years to more than 1400 and they represent 35% of the oakland homeless population. to help with the homeless crisis, they plan to open two more in the coming months. san francisco's project homeless connect celebrated a community day with a special appearance from governor newsom. people gathered at the bill graham auditorium to take advantage of resources including haircuts, dental work and medical care and even job counseling. the expo style service day

began when gavin newsom was mayor of san francisco. >> the overwhelming majority of folks on the streets for years are in deep medical need. mental health, physical health -- many are self-medicating. you can't sugarcoat that. i know stats come out saying roughly one third of people are struggling and i think that is wildly underestimated. >> it could take the homeless people 20 hours a week for things that could be provided at the day of service in that program inspired more than 250 other cities to adopt a similar model. new this morning, longtime congressman, elijah cummings of maryland, has died at the age of 68. he died from a variety of health problems at johns hopkins. congressman cummings was chairman of the house oversight and reform committee

too fat. too skinny. too hard. too soft. too old. too much. too unexpected. too limited. and to them we say too bad. because at kaiser permanente, we believe that everyone deserves the right to thrive. welcome back to mornings on 2 in the time is 7:12 with ambassador gordon sondland scheduled to testify before

the house intelligence committee as part of the impeachment probe of president trump. a former state department adviser, michael mckinley, told investigators he resigned last week do in part to the trump administration's dealings with ukraine. mckinley reportedly said he was, quote, disturbed by the implication that foreign governments were approached to procure negative information on political opponents. meetings between vice president mike pence and the president of turkey are under way this morning. the vice president and secretary of state, mike pompeo, are in turkey to pressure their country into a cease-fire. in a letter last week, president donald trump threatened sanctions and tariffs if turkey does not stop the incursion into syria. the turkish president reportedly threw the letter in the trash and made haste to fight that the syria effort will go on. [ sound of gunfire ] >> humanitarian groups are scrambling in syria trying to provide aid to hundreds of thousands that have been displaced and turkey is making

a new push into key border towns where kurdish groups and syrian forces are trying to fight off or hold back the invasion. the new fighting comes as a region already faces a crisis with more than 1.6 million people already depending on humanitarian aid. vice president mike pence's trip to that region comes as tensions really flared yesterday during a briefing at the white house on syria between president donald trump and top lawmakers on both sides of the aisle. house speaker nancy pelosi said president trump appeared shaken on pelosi said he had a meltdown after the house passed a measure condemning president donald trump's decision to withdraw u.s. troops from northern syria. >> what's really sad about it -- and i pray for the president all the time, his safety and that of his family, but now we have to pray for his health because this was a very serious meltdown on the part of the president.

>> president donald trump later posted a photo on twitter showing speaker pelosi pointing her finger and accused her of having a meltdown. pelosi later took that photo and made her cover photo on twitter. the november elections are weeks away, now in this monday, october 21 is the final day to register for the election next month and the state assessor and some elected officials are holding an event at noon today right in front of the san francisco city hall to try to get people to register before the deadline. voters in marin county will have the final say on the sales tax extension and they approved it for the march ballot. the current sales tax expires in 2010 he nine and they spent much of the time yesterday finalizing details of a spending plan and wording for the ballot and called for a discount program to win over voters and cloverdale,

door, 7:16. traffic trouble? you are absolutely right. the richmond bridge, no traffic trouble but slower everywhere you look and we've been looking at some commutes for you and obviously, the eastshore freeway. 34 minutes isn't raising red flags but that is about what it should be. 35 minutes from the carquinez bridge to the macarthur bays and if you add the beautiful golden gate bridge, it was supposed to come after this. the bay bridge toll plaza is backed up for a 20 minute delay and in the east bay, the traffic is slow and the tracy triangle had an earlier crash with slow traffic on southbound 680 after stone ridge and driving south, a big backup and 880 is slow heading south. 7:17 and let's go to steve for the forecast. light rain overnight and most of it is gone. a couple of one hundredths in

san jose and in crockett by the carquinez bridge, looking good and then it will end up with beautiful donesha with the clearing taking place and clouds around the backside as we see the breeze picked up. keith, thank you. northeast, a nor'easter. 90 miles-per-hour throughout much of massachusetts and the northeast. gusting to 90 with a heck of a system and the yankees and the astros will play but it will be cold and windy. 42 in pittsburg and the wind will be a huge factor along with very, very cool temperatures. a calm 44 in rohnert park with clouds and some of it did make it to the south.

51 in redwood estates. cooler weather. a weak system came by and there's not much left, point zero two, as we talked about and the wind is picking up and even more so with stronger gusting out of the northwest with the airflow and the direction everything is leading. cooler than normal, 60s and 70s on the temps that won't change much. the average is 69 and the record low is 47 way back in 1892. the strong systems in the gulf of alaska are generating swells 10-20 feet to danden to friday with a hyphen mid-level clouds giving a very fall like appearance and moving off with his system falling apart as it moves south. it produced a light rain in this year in looks like there

is some high elevation snow and rain mixed with west at fairfield, and novato more northwest. west at concord and picking up for half moon bay and san jose. 40s and 50s on the temps and probably won't drop much more than where we are now. 52 in el cerrito, 56 in richmond and 56 in clayton and pleasanton. mostly sunny, breezy and windy with drizzle over with for us and there might be some well to the south but not much in the wind is picking up in the santa cruz mountains. sunny and windy with 60s and 70s on the temp. should be warmer but we won't see that until sunday and monday. 7:20 and many bay area businesses took a financial hit during the pg&e power shut off. what they are saying about

reimbursing customers. one bay area restaurant is considering taking pg&e to court. convicted killer jodi arias make it a chance at freedom after being charged with murdering her ex- boyfriend.

7:23 and lowers for convicted murderer, jodi arias, will appeal her murder conviction in the 2008 death of her former boyfriend. her lawyers say that there was a prosecutor's misconduct and a judge failed to control news

coverage and that deprived her from a fair trial. they said overwhelming evidence should outweigh mistakes made during the trial. she will not be in the courtroom and is in prison serving a life sentence. a mother from menlo park was sentenced to three weeks in prison in connection with the college admissions scandal. she pleaded guilty and admitted to paying $15,000 to have her son's a.c.t. test corrected in 2017 and prosecutors accused her of lying about college applications to increase chances of being admitted. a new report by the council on islamic american relations shows bullying of muslim students in california is down but still much higher than the national average. they show bullying toward muslim students dropped from 52% in 2017 to 40% this year and the numbers are down but the study still shows it is twice the national average. >> we believe the rates and numbers we see are a result of

hateful rhetoric funneled by the trump administration. >> they said there are laws to protect muslims and targeted groups from bullying. mayor london breed said the city is no longer doing business with restrictive abortion policy states. it bars city employees from traveling on state-funded trips to those states and from contracting and states that have headquarters there. mayor breed said it's sending a message to states that disregard the right of abortion. a 500 tower has work suspended, a large construction project. the building is located south of market admission and first across from salesforce tower and they are reportedly studying ways to lower the construction costs. work is continuing on the taller tower and the building is meant to house offices and condos and one complete, it

we are seeing it clear down in the santa clara valley. the system marches east and south and falls apart with a little bit left in the sierra nevada and the wind is west and northwest and that will be the direction picking up even sfo, 12 and not a big deal for them. mostly sunny and breezy and one more system has to clip us friday with temperatures 60s and 70s. it's 7:30 and things are improving in some areas and not so much in others. the bay bridge, earlier it was wet and it has dried off now and dried off in many areas and not really a weather commute, but a commute that is

busy moving along the area and you will see traffic will be busy in the east bay. 680 and highway 4, the usual slowing and 580 at 205 is also because of a crash with serious injuries. 580 grantline road approaching the area and san jose with the south bay commute off to a decent start and getting more crowded. 7:31 and back to the desk. today, 30 years ago, the bay area was hit by one of the most devastating quakes in history, a magnitude 6.9. it was the loma prieta quake and those who died were on the cyprus freeway when it collapsed. part of the upper deck of the old bay bridge also fell down and that quake ruptured a gas line in the marina district and set it on fire with more than 100 buildings damaged or

destroyed in the quake hit at 5:04 right before game three of the world series between the oakland a's and the giants at candlestick park. several events are planned to mark the 30th anniversary of the loma prieta quake including in san francisco, a community preparedness fair at marina green at 3:00 this afternoon. in santa cruz, the downtown library will help host a presentation of the loma prieta oral history that starts at 4:45 this afternoon. in oakland, community leaders will get together with a summit meeting on the bay area resilience in the 30 years after the loma prieta quake that begins at 5:30 tonight at the structural engineering institute on grand avenue. governor gavin newsom will join seismologists to launch in early warning system that is an app available in our state. we have allie rasmus in pleasant hill to explain how the app works. >> reporter: it's called my

shake and was developed by a uc berkeley seismologist. it is free and i downloaded it this morning. when you click on it, you should let it know where your location is so you can be alerted of earthquakes and the main page will show the most recent quake. you can see on the map that there was a 4.4 in pleasant hill earlier and then a 4.7 in hollister. it can't predict earthquakes but the idea behind it is it can give people in an area that might experience shaking, a few seconds to prepare and it uses sensors to detect the start of the earthquake and calculates locations and intensities and sends a warning to your phone if you are in an area where shaking is likely to happen. it uses the same technology as the amber alert to send

warnings. >> it quickly detects the earthquakes and they locate it to determine the magnitude. if the earthquake already started, we quickly send that information out and we can send it faster than the ground shaking takes to arrive and we give you a time. >> reporter: after the earthquakes this week, five or six people said they immediately checked the news. >> where was the earthquake? was it an earthquake? >> reporter: the warning from the app can come seconds before, during or after a quake, depending how far you are from the epicenter and the newer alert system is meant to coincide with the 30th anniversary of the loma prieta quake on october 17, 1989 and it claimed 63 lives and injured 3800 people and caused widespread damage in san francisco, oakland and parts of the bay area. people who experienced it 30

years ago, myself included, you don't ever forget it. but later this morning, governor gavin newsom will join libby schaaf and other leaders and seismologists to officially launch this statewide early-morning system. allie rasmus, ktvu. we hope you'll join us tonight as we have a special code quake country preparing for the next big one and you will see it on ktvu right after the thursday night football sports wrap. berkeley just became the fourth city to ban the city government from using facial recognition technology. it's an amendment to the ordinance requiring city council to approve buying surveillance technology and tests have shown that the technology can sometimes be faulty and often miss identifies people. a spokesman said the city had never sought out this technology and has none in place and there's been no comment from the berkeley police. san francisco, by the way,

imposed the nation's first ban on this technology and oakland and emeryville are considering it. antitrust complaints are being settled with a class action lawsuit accusing sutter health of exerting market power to inflate insurance costs. the california attorney general, xavier becerra, confirmed the deal but won't comment further. they operate hospitals in northern california and they face a lawsuit. jew labs is being forced to change its marketing and promotion to make sure that minors aren't targeted. under a new settlement, they cannot advertise on social media other than it's own youtube page and they are banned in any media where 15% of the audience or more is under 21. they can advertise, but not near a school, sporting event or concert that allows people under 21. we are seeing some of the

damage on pg&e power lines that occur during the planned power shutoffs. pg&e's inspectors found more than 100 cases of damage throughout the year in napa, santa clara and santa cruz counties and they said any of those damaged lines could turn to fire if those lines had been active and live. many bay area businesses took a big financial hit during the power shut off and the owner of betty's fish and chips in santa rosa said without refrigeration they had to throw out $12,000 worth of fish. pg&e said they won't pay for business losses and it turns out insurance won't cover those expenses, either and the insurance information institute suggested businesses look into buying generators which they can use as a tax write off. >> it's a minimum of $50,000 to get a generator and get it installed by electrical

contractors. >> they consider taking pg&e to small claims court and if they win we are told they could get a maximum of $5000 and say if enough businesses do that it may get the attention of pg&e. monday is the deadline for wildfire survivors to cook press a claim against pg&e. so far, only 130 people eligible have submitted a claim. it includes people who lost homes, wages or suffered emotional distress. >> if a person burned down your house, you would file a claim and hold them responsible and they should be nor different. pg&e burned down our houses. >> the judge rejected the request to extend the deadline. go to ktvu.com and click on web links.

police said a man carjacked a rideshare driver in mill valley using a machete and this is a photo of the weapon where investigators said 18-year-old gustavo neri pulled out a machete and threatened a driver and demanded he give him the car. the driver got out and he drove away. when the police spotted him, they said he would not put down the weapon and they used a stun gun and then he was arrested. investigators are trying to identify burglars believed to behind several burglaries in contra costa county. they said thieves have broken into homes 16 times in danville and blacklock stealing $1 million worth of cash, jewelry and other items. they said the thieves were caught on video in five of the cases and in one case, $215,000 in purses and fur coats were stolen and in another case, they stole gold bars from a safe.

jew this week, ktvu focuses on a major bay area crisis, homelessness and yesterday we talked about the hidden homeless students who look like they are living ordinary lives but have no place of their own and now, we look into the money set aside to help fix the homeless crisis. >> in san francisco, some of the money should come from a new tax on businesses that have annual revenues of $50 million or more. prop c was passed last year but while they have collected, none of the money has been spent. >> reporter: nearly one year after 61% of san francisco voters passed prop c, a ballot measure to fund homeless services, the money is tied up

in court. it put a .5% gross receipts tax on companies with more than $50 million in revenues, $300 million from 400 companies. the issue split leaders and sparked debate between supporters like salesforce's ceo, marc benioff and the chamber of commerce. >> throwing more money won't necessarily solve it. it takes strategy and long-term commitment. it's not problems that go with quickly. >> reporter: the chamber president said there are concerns about how the money would be spent and monitored. the city is collecting the tax but won't spend it yet. the city is being sued because they said it involved two thirds of the vote, not a majority and they ruled in favor of the city and now it goes to the appeals court.

the city past an ordinance early this year to allow companies to waive the right to a refund if the meas ure is struck down in exchange for a tax break and sales for took a total of $14 million for the homeless and it was broken down like this by the city with $1.4 million on shelter beds and 2 million on problem- solving interventions and $3.4 million unregistered treatment beds an $800,000 in rapid rehousing and $6 million in support of permanent housing. >> cutting checks alone might not be sufficient but it's necessary for relative newcomers to get involved in the conversation that will take time to address. >> the vp of public policy agrees it's important to develop policies but companies need to be good neighbors and one both sides of the prop c debate agree on is it will

take all of us to find a solution. >> we've got to make changes on the policy level and i'll step up compassionately to solve the problem. >> i don't care if the neighbor wears a tech hoodie or doesn't have close on their back. we ought to be looking out for one another. a weeklong series on the bay area crisis continues and at 8:00, a look at the funding set aside to deal with homelessness and what is being done with that money. on sunday night, join us for a roundtable discussion on homelessness with leaders of the bay area's big cities. frank somerville from ktvu asked what might be causing the problem and why it is getting worse and what's being done to solve it? that is this sunday night during the 10:00 news. 7:46 on wall street is getting help from a big name in the area. >> pam cook has ktvu dollars & sense.

>> reporter: netflix beat the expectations for third-quarter earnings and added more subscribers and added 6.8 million paid subscribers during the quarter, what wall street expected. in november, they will have more competition when new services from disney plus and apple tv+ are launched. netflix saw 5% on that news and quickly pulled back as investors worry about the earnings going forward. with that added competition, we check on the broader markets and a lot of uncertainty surrounding the markets, including some optimism over the signing of the brexit deal and ongoing trade concerns with china. the dow jones is up about .25%, 69 points to 27,000 and the s&p is up one half of 1%, above 3000. the nasdaq at 8153, up about one third of a percent. halloween is two weeks away but stores are ready for

christmas and expect consumers to spend more this year. the national retail federation predicts about $730 billion will be spent, up about 4% from last year and analysts warned that prices may be higher this year. last year, retailers hedged against the impact of tariffs by buying inventory earlier than usual. that is no longer an option and they already had purchased those products. disney released the list of the new top disney holiday toys and the popularity of toy story 4 lands woody at the top spot and there is a collection for the pats and the flower cart and the lion king remake puts simba back in the spotlight. the list of popular fast food restaurants is out and

before the heart of the commute stroke. this is a look at 80 westbound to the carquinez bridge. you and another 20 at the toll plaza and this is a look at 880 with traffic moving along okay. the san mateo bridge looks like something might be going on with some cars and if you look at the picture, the cars are pulled over. this could be a crash on 92 that would make it tougher to get around but i'm not sure what that is. it definitely is impeding traffic. southbound 680, a crash an 880 south, pretty slow. we promise to look at the silicon valley commute and these freeways will be very slow on 280, 85 and 101 to the west valley. 7:50. let's get to it. they will play baseball. game four, astros and the

it doesn't predict earthquakes but warns you if there is likely to be shaking in your area. it uses sensors to detect the earthquake and calculates location and intensity. it's similar to the amber alert system that uses the same system to send out the alerts. it quickly detects the earthquake and they can determine the magnitude. if it's already started, we send out the information and we send it faster than the ground shaking takes to arrive and give you leadtimes. >> reporter: just a few extra seconds to figure out where you take cover would be helpful. >> it does count because you want to make sure everybody gets to safety. >> reporter: seconds to count is what everyone we talked to thinks. the warning can come seconds before, during or after a

quake, depending on far you are from the epicenter. the unveiling of the my shake app is meant to coincide with the 30th anniversary of the loma prieta quake that happened in 1989 and claim 63 lives and injured 3800 and caused a lot of damage in san francisco, oakland and other parts of the bay area. gavin newsom will be with the oakland mayor, libby schaaf and they will be with seismologists to unveil, publicly, this new earthquake early warning system through the my shake at. allie rasmus, ktvu fox news. >> we hope you'll join us tonight for an earthquake special called quake country, preparing for the next big one and you will s it on ktvu after the football sports wrap. berkeley just became the nation's fourth city to banquo the city government from using

of the housing market and that is where cities might not make the best decisions. >> reporter: he said studies show having a housing first approach proved most effective in reducing homelessness and studies show salt lake city, utah, reduced its homeless population by 90% and we found 11% of oakland homeless program spending goes to housing and supportive services. san francisco, 56% and san jose, 62%. for those on the street, they don't think that adds up to helping them. >> do the math. what will happen? you won't catch up. >> when you put a little bit of money into affordable housing and into subsidies, that needs to be part of the picture. as far as getting help to those in trouble right now, it's not really going to be as effective as going straight to getting people housing and getting them connected with services that will stem chronic homelessness.

>> reporter: money is spent on what we see getting bigger every day from shelters and community cabins to health and hygiene stations, boots on the ground providing food, clothing and other services. in san jose, it's more than $2 million a year and oakland, $20 million. in san francisco, $104 million and that means after administrative costs, housing efforts and other programs, san francisco is actually spending $36 a day for every homeless person. $13 a day for someone in oakland and $1 per day per person in san jose. >> the money is not going to be directed to the people that deserve it. >> reporter: if all the money was spent on the visible homeless, the three biggest bay area cities could house one third, one half are all the homeless population. studies argue that it's not a long-term solution and is a waste of taxpayer money.
