withstand what seems to be a direct hit from a major container ship. >> the search for survivors continues after baltimore bridge collapses. six people are still missing at this hour. good afternoon. >> i'm kristen sze and i'm larry beil. thanks for joining us. those six missing people are presumed dead in the frigid maryland waters. the collapse was caught on camera. i mean, these are incredible images. you can see the container ship hit the bridge, and then nearly the entire span of the bridge comes crashing down with construction crews on it. >> take a look at this new video just released from the ntsb. you can even see the road on top of that container ship. abc news reporter christiane cordero has the latest cruise in baltimore, working against the clock to find survivors of the francis scott key bridge collapse. >> we're going to send all the federal resources they need as we respond to this emergency. >> it was around 130 this morning that maryland officials say a container ship lost

propulsion as it was leaving baltimore and crashed into the bridge. video shows the ship hitting a support column. the lights go out as the entire span collapses seconds before impact. that same footage appears to show vehicles crossing. >> we're going to be working closely with the national transportation safety board as they lead their independent investigation, and with the coast guard as they continue operations in the water, the pilots reportedly warned the maryland department of transportation that vessel could crash before it made impact. >> maryland officials say the pilot's mayday call prompted the bridge to shut down to traffic, potentially saving lives. no drivers were traveling on the span at the time, but there were construction vehicles and workers on it. >> the crew that was out there working was basically repairing potholes. so you understand that had nothing to do with a structural issue. >> the i-695 span is a heavily traveled corridor with an estimated 30,000 vehicles crossing it each day. about 30 million tons of cargo pass through the bridge. last year. it's the entryway to the largest port in the u.s. for cars and

light trucks, and one of america's largest hubs for coal shipments. >> it's one of the most important elements for the economy in the northeast. i've directed my team to move heaven and earth, to reopen the port and rebuild the bridge as soon as humanly possible, authorities say there is no credible evidence the incident was an act of terror. >> christiane cordero, abc news, baltimore. >> the pilots of that cargo ship reportedly issued a mayday call to the maryland department of transportation just before the crash. officials say that was important because it prompted police to shut down traffic to the bridge, potentially saving lives. >> more on traffic on the key bridge. there's a ship approaching us, just lost their steering. so until you get that under control, we got to stop all traffic. >> maryland officials say there were no drivers on the bridge span when it collapsed. but as you saw in the piece that preceded this, construction workers were on the bridge. they were repairing potholes overnight. officers were driving to the bridge to get those crews off of it. but they just didn't get there in time.

>> the bay area experienced a cargo ship mishap back in 2007. the cosco busan container ship hit the bay bridge in heavy fog, spilling tens of thousands of gallons of oil into the bay. though the bridge suffered no damage and no humans died. the collision and its aftermath killed thousands of birds and fish coated in oil. the bar pilot on the ship spent ten months in prison after investigators found he was traveling too fast and was on prescription drugs when the accident happened. >> the crash in baltimore raises some questions about just how durable our bridges are here, and what traffic safety protocols are in place. if we were to experience a similar catastrophe. >> abc7 news reporter suzanne phan is live with what she found out today. suzanne >> so, kristin, engineering experts, traffic experts, they all tell me that our bridges in the bay area are designed to withstand a major earthquake or a vessel collision, to a certain degree. what happened in baltimore this morning with a cargo ship slamming directly

into a bridge makes a lot of people wonder. just how much our bridges in the bay area can handle. the bay bridge uh- like the uh- golden gate bridge, these are, major bridges that have cargo ships go under them for zarjabad oglu is a cal state east bay professor of civil engineering and construction management. you know, the bridges are designed for a certain factor of safety so they can take, earthquakes. they can take, even typhoons. but they're not designed to be rammed into by a 940 foot ship. >> experts say barrier bridges are robust because they're built to withstand earthquakes. the golden gate bridge has extra protection. >> the golden gate bridge has the most robust ship collision protection of any bridge on the west coast. >> the north and south towers of the golden gate bridge are built with extra reinforcement.

>> the south tower is protected by a concrete fender ring. the tower itself is anchored to bedrock below the water, and this concrete fender ring protects the entire south tower pier. it is 27ft thick at the bottom and extends 40ft down. if there's a critical incident or a catastrophe involving one of the bay area bridges, like during the loma prieta earthquake, caltrans says they can quickly clear the traffic to keep people safe, an experience we've closed it as fast as 11 minutes, but it all it really all depends on what the circumstances are. >> it means shutting off access to the bridges and the chp, closing down freeways that lead to the bridges. caltrans says it begins with the chp when they're alerted than they are the ones that are in charge of closing off the freeways. >> and they work directly hand in hand with caltrans and our traffic operations department to determine how we move traffic around. and then, of course, caltrans for bridges will close the toll plazas. so that you can't move in that direction. >> and caltrans says that

bridges are a key part of the bay area and works closely with the chp to make sure the traffic is moving smoothly. and if there's an incident on the bridge, the traffic is diverted from the area. live in san francisco, suzanne phan abc seven news. >> suzanne, thank you. stay with us for the very latest on that baltimore bridge crash. and collapse. we'll also update the story at abc seven news.com. >> new details today about that crash that killed a family of four in san francisco. sfmta released their latest findings on the intersection where a driver crashed into a bus stop. >> abc seven news reporter luz pena went back to the area that residents say is problematic, and luz joins us in studio with the details. luz >> that's right. the intersection in west portal, where the family of four was killed, is not part of the city's high injury network, meaning it's not categorized as dangerous in that area. but now residents want the city to revise it and make changes. flowers and photos marked the area where, over a week ago, a family of four was tragically killed for the first time. sfmta

of traffic, a lot of confusion. >> the west portal merges association's president is urging the city to make changes at the intersection is not fine. >> i don't think it contributed to what is a tragic accident. really? this was a driver error, but this intersection has not been fine for a long time. >> last thursday, sfmta met with the west portal merchants association and said fixing their outdated infrastructure will take years. >> the computer system they've been working with is over 25 years old and needs to be rebooted with a floppy disk daily, and they need $700 million in order to get a new system. >> this intersection is not part of the city's high injury network, but the san francisco bicycle coalition wants the city to revise this, taking away private vehicles would protect all of the people who have to walk through there to get to the

station, who get to their busses, who get to the library. the driver was released from the hospital and is not in custody. i spoke to the district attorney's office today. they said they're investigating this case and looking into a toxicology report, and the vehicle's operating system will stay on this. luz pena, abc seven news. >> luis, thank you. in san jose, a big rig ended up in the front yard of a home on south 10th street after the driver lost control during a collision with a minivan. from this angle, you can see just how close the truck came into hitting the house. the driver of the minivan was taken to the hospital with minor injuries. the truck driver was not hurt and that is scary. >> also in san jose, a fast moving fire burned two abandoned houses to the ground. also damaged another not far from that big rig crash. the fire broke out inside a single story victorian on north fourth street around 1130, and then it quickly spread to the two story house next door. smoke could be seen

for miles, and crews worked frantically to keep the flames from spreading to a multi-story building located nearby. >> turning to the lovely weather, the sunny weather is about to come to an end again. >> oh no, spencer christian here with a look at our latest rainy forecast. >> well, it's okay to get a little unlovely weather from time to time. >> here's a look at what's coming our way on the live doppler seven radar image and the satellite. you can see the storm sort of strengthening up there in the gulf of alaska and speeding in our direction. so we'll have some rainfall coming in tomorrow. it's a level one storm on the exclusive abc seven storm impact scale tomorrow morning. we'll see mainly scattered showers, but later in the day we'll see the rain spreading and getting heavier and steadier during the nighttime hours. tomorrow it will be gusty at times near the coast and over the hills as well. here's our forecast animation starting at midnight tonight. notice how quickly the clouds thicken and cover most of the bay area by about 6 a.m. tomorrow. first wave of light rain and showers will arrive in the north bay early tomorrow morning. during the morning commute. not until about midday

or early afternoon will we see the storm spreading to other parts of the bay area and get ready for the downpours tomorrow evening? looks like the evening commute will certainly be impacted by this heavier, steadier, more widespread rain, which will start to taper off after midnight tomorrow night, giving way to some showers on thursday and rainfall totals generally between a half and a quarter of inch between for most of the bay area up to the north bay. a little bit more than that. i'll give you a look at the seven days ahead. a little bit later. >> kristin. all right. spencer, thank you. advocates of juvenile justice reform today rallied in support for alameda county district attorney pamela price, who is facing a recall effort. community members gathered just days after price's decision not to charge a teenager as an adult in the 2022 murders of two berkeley brothers. speakers did not address the circumstances of that case specifically, but only what they claim are the negative impacts of charging juveniles as adults. >> we are standing here today because we believe it is important to continue to urge our district attorney to fulfill her commitment to fulfill her campaign promise to trial

all right. >> well, hopefully it's a nice day if we're doing something like that. and we get, i think, one more day. >> right, maybe half a day, a whole day, maybe. enjoy this while you can. spencer yeah. like the, >> so. sure. let me help you draw some conclusions. here's a look at what's going on right now. the approaching storm is getting closer. we'll see clouds increasing tonight, and there's some rain coming. our way, starting off as showers and then becoming more widespread and heavier and steadier going into tomorrow evening. right now, though, we're looking at breezy to gusty conditions across much of the bay area. 22 mile per hour gusts at sfo right now and the coast and the hills are certainly going to feel gusts as that storm approaches. and we've had a minor warm up since this time yesterday, about 2 to 4 degrees warmer in most locations. right now we're looking at 55 to 56 degrees here in san francisco, 59 in oakland, low to mid 60s at hayward and san jose, mid to upper 50s san mateo and half moon bay, blue sky over the golden gate bridge there as well. other temperatures at this hour 65 santa rosa, 59 petaluma and low

to mid 60s at napa, fairfield, concord and livermore and these are our forecast headlines. we'll see increasing clouds. mostly cloudy in fact overnight and breezy tomorrow morning. showers giving way to evening downpours. then on friday and saturday a stronger storm arrives. so be prepared for that one. so here's a look at the storm impact scale. the exclusive abc seven storm impact scale. the approaching storm is a level one storm for tomorrow. we'll see scattered showers beginning early tomorrow morning becoming heavier, steadier, more widespread. going into the evening hours. and it will be gusty at the coast and over the hills. and here's your forecast animation showing the increasing clouds. a rapid increase overnight. early tomorrow morning as the morning commute begins, it'll be cloudy with some light rain developing in the north bay. then by midday we'll see it spreading eastward and southward to other parts of the bay area, and we'll have downpours and more widespread rain developing in the evening hours tomorrow, which probably will impact the evening commute. but the storm will start to lose its energy overnight going into thursday morning. and that at that point will just see some scattered showers. meanwhile, in the sierra winter storm warning in effect for the western sierra

from 11 a.m. tomorrow to 11 a.m. thursday, 6 to 16in of snow above 50 500ft. gusts to 45mph. winter storm advisory for the greater tahoe area and much of the eastern sierra, with the lower snow totals, but still gusty winds there as well. back to the bay area overnight. low temperatures mainly in the mid to upper 40s as the clouds increase high temperatures. tomorrow pretty much on the mild side for much of the bay area. considering that rain is arriving a little cooler in the north bay, where highs will reach only into the upper 50s to about 60, other locations will see low to mid 60s, maybe even a couple of upper 60s tomorrow. so in the accuweather seven day forecast, you see level one storm weather, stormy weather coming in, storm weather. yeah uh- coming in tomorrow and thursday with just morning showers. rainy and windy on friday level two storm impact from this system because it will be a bit stronger than what we will experience tomorrow and thursday, and we may have a lot of rain in the ground already by then. level one on saturday and then drier for easter sunday.

>> perfect for the bunny. that's. yeah. there you go. >> yes. all right. thank you. spencer. okay. still ahead, a total eclipse coming to north america. where and when you can watch it. >> and i'm chris alvarez here at oracle park. some perfect baseball weather tonight. giants and a's the final exhibition before the regular this long to get put on the shelf like a porcelain doll. if you have postmenopausal osteoporosis and are at high risk for fracture, you can build new bone with evenity®. ask your doctor if you can do more than just slowing down bone loss with evenity®. want stronger bones? then build new bone; evenity® can help in just 12 months. evenity® is proven to reduce spine fracture risk by 73%. evenity® can increase risk of heart attack, stroke, or death from a cardiovascular problem.

as chris alvarez is live at oracle park. tonight's game could be a send off for a very popular giant. say it isn't so. we need more panda. chris >> absolutely, larry. i think we all need more panda, and that's why he's back. it kind of reminds me of last season when sergio romo had his last game here in the preseason, when he was officially retired. pablo sandoval is not. he's trying to make this baseball team. we'll wait and see if he does. the giants haven't released their opening day roster quite yet. now the giants getting ready for a game tonight against the a's here at oracle park. just about 30 minutes till first pitch. as i mentioned they have some opening day roster decisions to make. pablo join the spring non-roster invitee, 37 year old four time champion. he won three, of course, with the giants in those 20 tens. he's a 2012 world series mvp, he said. if he doesn't make the squad, he's going to report to triple-a sacramento in hopes of continuing his career overall, all the energy is brought to

this team has been something his team doesn't take for granted. >> it's just going to be, you know, really exciting. and he means a lot to this organization. and, you know, three world series speaks for itself. so i think the fans will be excited and looking forward to, you know, a live atmosphere. >> i expect it to be immense. so i'm sure everybody else does. it's been all spring long. i don't know why it would be any different, especially here. so we've got a plan for him. >> you know, all that comes to mind when you say pablo sandoval is my last game here as a as an as a san diego padres. my first at bat of the game, i hit a line drive, smoked a line drive, and he laid out in the five and a half hole and caught. it was my like last chance to get a hit in a big league game. and he stole it from me. so that's all i can think about. i want to talk about pablo sandoval now. >> that's a great story from mark kotsay. now, before today's game, the 34th annual play ball luncheon, which benefits the giants community fund fans, had a chance to meet their favorite players and coaches on the field

, followed by lunch. on the club level, you see barry bonds and mayor london breed. since its inception in 1991, the organization has donated $44 million to various community programs. >> giants have always been great in the community and you know this this banquet raises a lot of money. you know, for the giants community fund. and, you know, i was there from the very, very beginning. and it's nice to see that. it's that it's, you know, still supported. >> well, it's for a great cause, but it's really a chance for the fans here in the bay area to see the team up close. and it's most of the guys that are going to be on the opening day roster. so it's an introduction, but most importantly, it's kind of that kickoff to the season. >> yeah. baseball is finally back. 505 first pitch here, giants and a's, then opening day san francisco b in san diego, while the a's will host cleveland thursday night. as we send it back to you, i love that story from marcus. don't ask me about pablo sandoval. i took my last hit away. come on. chris. >> yeah, yeah, it's good to see he's not holding a grudge. >> right?

>> no, not at all. >> not at all. thank you. chris, i still might have my panda hat. >> would have been fun to keep wearing. >> yeah, people. well you never know. you know, one injury awake, they could call him back up if he goes to triple-a. all right, coming up, building a better bay area by helping san francisco's homeless. >> and old city program called homeward bound. just got the green light to expand for less than a few hundred dollars. >> we give them a ticket. >> how a bus ticket home could lead to a brighter future, and personal finance education could be coming to california classrooms soon

unhoused people return to their homes by offering them bus

tickets. >> it will now be another tool in an effort to reduce the city's homeless population and build a better bay area. a we both want to introduce leanne, but for that honor you. >> yeah. here with an update? yeah well, you know, i would say that everything needs to be improved. no matter what. and even the most successful programs and homeward bound has been around for nearly 20 years. and during that time, 13,000 people have gone home to someone who cares about them. but let's get real. because of covid and other factors that you'll see mentioned in the story, the number of people sent home went down well today that is slowly changing the concept of putting people on a bus to reunite with friends and family is not new. >> for less than a few hundred dollars, we give them a ticket. a majority are from are from other parts of california and again it's voluntary. >> the program to help the unhoused find their way back home is and for decades has been called homeward bound. and abc

seven news has been reporting on it since the early 2000. >> san francisco's department of human services has a program to encourage out of state transients to take a free trip home, but not many people want to go. >> san francisco supervisor and mayoral candidate ahsha safai proposed revising and rebranding the program after it moved from one city department to another, and its numbers went down. so you said there's nobody there hasn't been anybody to mind the program? absolutely. >> i mean, last year in hsa, only 12 people took advantage of homeward bound when in the past they were doing over a like 1800 to 1000 a year. >> the issue has now become a political hotbed. mark farrell, who is also running for mayor, posted, quote, mayor breed, let the program wither to a shell of its former self serving nearly three times fewer people. but it's well known among nonprofits that the program was hit hard during covid. public

transportation wasn't accessible. >> you know, we weren't able to put people on busses and get them to where they they wanted to go. also during the pandemic, the homeless became more isolated and the use of fentanyl escalated dramatically. >> more people became highly addicted to a drug that, according to the centers for disease control and prevention, is 50 times more potent than heroin. what keeps you here in san francisco? >> i mean, i have habits that are, you know, easily more accessible out here. >> unfortunately, what is more accessible? >> uh- my substance use turin. >> ralea moved here from san luis obispo and admits his drug problem has kept him away from home. if you had the opportunity to go back home to a relative or parents, if you do have, would you take that opportunity or is it hard for you at this point? it's hard for me, but i mean, i still it's hard not being with my family, but, i definitely

would take that opportunity up once i better myself and was clean. and, you know, they are not in a position to, you know, give up fentanyl and go home. right i mean, am i correct that the dynamics on the streets have changed? >> that's definitely one piece of it. but one of the things that we do with this legislation is we expand it to shelters, and we expand it to permanent supportive housing. >> safai believes the number of unhoused voluntarily leaving on busses will increase, because there will now be more oversight . the program will be offered at shelters and supportive housing, both the unhoused and even those at risk of becoming homeless are eligible. the data is now collected for the public to see in real time. emily cohen is with the department of homelessness and supportive housing. >> we will be publishing a dashboard on our website and on the human service agency website that will combine data from both of our programs and publicly communicate the scope and depth of those programs and how

they're working from a cost perspective. >> and then verses the emergency room visits, shelter, all the different cities you're talking about thousands and thousands. and so if you're talking about in a, in a budget crisis, in a deficit which we are in, there is an incentive now to help reunify people with their families, because it's also going to save the taxpayers of san francisco a lot of money. >> so when the city puts someone on a bus, they pay for their fare food, and sometimes a motel room that ends up costing between 200 and $300 each person. so if the program has sent around 13,000 people home, the city has spent between 2.6 million and $3.9 million over 19 years. this is why they are really pushing this program, because the city, as you know, spends a lot, a lot of money on services. >> yeah, tens of millions. yeah. without a lot of results. right? correct. all right. thank you. liane >> personal finance classes could one day become a requirement for california

students. >> as tough as it is to live in the california economy, anything that we can do to help our students propel towards a bright future, whether that is as an entrepreneur or their understanding about how markets work and their ability to reduce debt, is incredibly needed, state superintendent tony thurmond says. >> right now, only 25% of california students have access to personal finance education, but he hopes to change that with a new bill that's been introduced to make personal finance a graduation requirement for k through 12 students. there's also a november ballot measure on the same requirement coming up, a social media crackdown just for kids and working from home may not actually be worth it. chevy silverado with the turbomax engine and best-in-class standard torque. and the chevy silverado hd with up to 14 available camera views. do more in a chevy truck, get yours now. get $5000 total value on silverado ltz

of ormond spencer joining us. florida is now banning young children from having social media accounts. one of the most restrictive online laws in the nation goes into effect next year. it bans children 13 and under from having accounts, and kids who are 14 or 15 would need their parents permission. supporters say it's an effort to protect children's mental health and protect them from predators. but kristen, as we were talking in the break, how do you implement such a ban? yeah how do you enforce it? >> i'm reading a lot of articles about it, but nothing that says how they would enforce that. how would they know? i mean, it's

not like there are different versions of the app for florida versus the rest of the world and the app store or. but anyway, the whole idea behind it though, ama, what do you think? >> yeah, i mean, i'm all for protecting them. i don't know how. i mean, i feel like kids always find a way around it. i don't have that issue yet, but i was told today that she needs a phone because what if there's a fire? >> oh, who suggested that she did? >> oh, so already at the young age of six, working me for a phone? >> yeah, well, in case of a fire and in case of tiktok. >> yes. yeah. >> that's apparently a very smart young lady. >> yeah. >> i mean, the kids all lie about their age, right? to download the app and they just attest to being over 13, right? yeah. they don't give them a phone. that's it. yeah, yeah. say no. resist. ama. resist i will i did, i did okay. working from home could cost you. it may be convenient being able to work in sweats and fix lunch in your own kitchen, but a new study finds that all adds up. and not in a good way. a new study finds that people who work from home

regularly, even if it's just part time, earn approximately $22,000 less than their in-person counterparts. >> they compute that that's a good question, spencer. >> and what about the money you save? >> yes, because you're not commuting. you're not going over the bridge and just sanity. >> yeah, well that's priceless. >> certain coworkers. no, i'm just kidding. >> so basically we're we're questioning the validity of this study. spencer. >> well, that's my question. how do they measure that? the amount less that people who work from home earn than their counterparts? obviously, there are advantages and disadvantages. personally, i like the in-person contact and the interaction with coworkers, but i know many people enjoy working from home, so i'm not knocking that. >> i'm still miffed that larry didn't give me $22,000 of his salary when he was working from home during the pandemic. isn't that what the difference, they said was? >> well, you wanted 22 and spencer wanted 22, and dan wanted 22, and that was the problem there. >> i think those of us that

enjoyed working from home see the work life balance. being there is a cost benefit to that. >> yeah, yeah that's true. >> i'll just leave it there. >> i can see the imbalance that you're under these days, larry. yeah. >> well yes. yeah. totally imbalanced, no winner in either big lottery jackpots. so you wouldn't even care about the 22,000 if you win one of these things, tonight's mega millions prize is now $1.13 billion. that is the eighth largest prize in us history. and tomorrow night's powerball jackpot is now an estimated $865 million. both games have long odds designed to create large jackpots and lots of sales. i was listening on the radio to this mathematician and they were asking him, you know, how do you increase your odds? and his response was, well, only one thing you could do buy more tickets. well, thanks, mr. math.

i mean, i could figure that out myself. how many more? yeah >> well, yes, millions and millions of tickets, i don't know. >> yeah. i'm not a lottery ticket person, but every time those jackpots get huge, like around $1 billion, my wife says, honey, go out and buy a couple of tickets. so yesterday i bought two powerball tickets. and of course, that was the drawing last night, right? and the two mega millions, we didn't win last night and we're not likely to win tonight. >> yeah, well, you're still here today, so we know you didn't win last night, but you can't win if you don't play. >> that's true. >> i don't win anyway, but i. you can't win if you don't play. >> we may have to start up the office pool again. yeah. >> who's going to take it over though? >> that's going to make a good slogan. >> emma, you can't wait. that's true. >> all right, who wants a side of donuts with that big mac? mcdonald's is teaming up with krispy kreme to sell the donuts at their fast food locations. three types will be available all day until they sell out. they will be delivered fresh to restaurants daily. donuts will be available at mcdonald's

locations nationwide by the end of the year. oh isn't that going to cut into their own? like apple pie sales, where their blizzards or their chocolate chip cookies? oh, it might serve as good cross-promotion for the two chain. >> maybe i yeah, i don't know. >> i think it's actually really smart marketing. i'm surprised they haven't done it in the past. these types of collaborations, because mcdonald's doesn't have donuts that they they offer, right? i mean, you can get a mcflurry, talk about the sugar mcflurry and some krispy kreme donuts. >> oh, i do, but it gives them the breakfast crowd. >> yeah, yeah, yeah, that's true. >> i have an idea, a combo menu idea. you can take the donut and use it as the bun for the hamburger. boom winner. >> well, that's kind of like their mcgriddles in the morning. oh okay. see? there you go. yeah. so it's not unheard of. yeah. >> so they can easily do it. >> yeah. >> definitely sounds kind of yummy actually. >> really easy. >> two krispy kreme donuts with some with what? in the middle a hamburger. >> i'm sure it's already been done before. i think i've seen

those, you know. yeah. donuts with like a burger or something. >> yeah. i want to see kristen. i want to see you eat that on a tasty thursday. the krispy kreme, the burger and krispy kreme. >> let's bring it. >> yeah okay. all right. >> thursday's coming up quick challenge. >> sounds like a honey baked ham that's been slow smoked, hand glazed, and spiral sliced. or, a kelly baked ham. nobody wants a kelly baked meal, not even kelly. every bite is a celebration with the honey baked ham company. business. ev it's not a nine-to-fiven proposition. it's all day and into the night. it's all the things that keep this world turning. the go-tos that keep us going. the places we cheer. and check in. they all choose the advanced network solutions and round the clock partnership from comcast business. see why comcast business powers more small businesses than anyone else. get started for $49.99 a month plus ask how to get up to an $800 prepaid card. don't wait- call today.

deep breath. cancer is a journey you don't take alone. you did it! our cancer care team works together to care for all that is you. america. in the us, the eclipse begins in texas and passes

through the northeast, but we will still see part of it here in california. >> reporter tim caputo with our sister station in los angeles, has a look at exactly how you can see the eclipse. >> it is something you truly don't see every day. but for the first time in seven years, a total solar eclipse will pass over the u.s. and maybe no surprise, griffith observatory's director, doctor ed krupp, thinks the april 8th event is out of this world, and it is the most spectacular thing that the sky does. >> you can see with the unaided eye. >> doctor cropp and dozens of others are headed to mexico, where it will be a total eclipse with a path passing over texas, the midwest and up into new york. >> if you're paying attention, though, you'll probably sense a little bit strangeness in the light. it'll be just a little bit off. not a lot. >> well, not everyone is going as far out of their way as doctor krupp. many say they'll still make an effort to see the eclipse. >> it would be fun to be able to do that, you know, in a perfect world. but, probably at least

view it from where i am. >> it will appear in the morning between ten and 1145 on the eighth. and while the eclipse won't be as spectacular on the west coast, safety rules still apply after all. to see it, you'll be staring right at the sun. you'll need more than just sunglasses to. to safely view the eclipse, you should wear these special eclipse glasses or through a special filter. >> the sun is just as damaging when it's partially eclipsed as it is when it's just fully out there and bright. for those less scientific, we found at least one person who has an uneasy feeling about the rare alignment and how it will somehow impact his daily life. >> it kind of disrupts things that are normally taking their course. >> and you might be thinking to yourself, i'll skip this one and catch the next one. well, don't hold your breath. the next time a total solar eclipse will happen over the u.s. is in 20 years in los angeles, tim caputo, abc seven news. >> so i'll take that partial blocking, and i'll still look in the sky a little bit. sure. yeah. because, you know, otherwise you wait another 20 years, it feels like that's how long we're waiting for, son. spencer.

>> yeah, you're right about that. but the sun is not that far away. of course, the storms are closer, but the sun is not too far away. we have a level one storm on the exclusive abc seven storm impact scale coming our way tomorrow. starting off with the scattered showers early in the day giving way to more widespread showers. heavy and steadier rain tomorrow night, and some gusty wind at time near the coast and in the hills. here's a forecast animation starting at midnight tonight, clouds are going to thicken and spread rapidly overnight. by 6:00 tomorrow morning, as the morning commute is getting underway, there will be some light showers up in the north bay already and they'll spread during the midday hours. and tomorrow evening we're looking at heavy downpours, steady downpours over much of the bay area before the storm starts to wind down and give way to just showers on thursday morning. so as we look ahead, there's also a winter storm warning in effect. i should mention that for the western slopes of the sierra. 11:00 tomorrow morning to 11:00 thursday morning and a storm advisory for the eastern slopes. that's including the greater lake tahoe area. here's the accuweather seven day forecast level one storm tomorrow. and on thursday morning. friday a stronger storm comes in rainy,

windy level two a tapering off to a level one storm on saturday, then drier for easter sunday and a sunny and mild start to next week. >> kristen spencer thank you. fx's historical drama shogun has taken the world by storm, and today we take a look at noh, a traditional japanese art form featured in the series. take a look at how this ritual performance was brought to life in the newest episode of shogun >> i want the audience to walk away with a clear sense of what japanese culture is, and have a better understanding and more interest in japanese storytelling. >> noh has a very important root to sengoku period, which is where shogun takes place. shogun is. masakazu is. he worked directly on the show. in episode six, there is a

wonderful scene. it's like a show within the show because we will get to see a piece of noh theater. >> also, hosho. you die, you die, you die. hosho noh. muqiao this is a samurai or samurai >> master hosho was so generous. and you know, he. he read the script and he composed and choreographed and, you know, arranged a and created a piece for us to be part of the show. he he >> and you can dive into the world of the samurai in fx's shogun, now streaming on hulu. disney is the parent company of

both hulu and abc seven. >> well, it is a dream come true for some bay area students, something they designed will soon head up to the discover the ozempic® tri-zone. ♪ ♪ i got the power of 3. i lowered my a1c, cv risk, and lost some weight. in studies, the majority of people reached an a1c under 7 and maintained it. i'm under 7. ozempic® lowers the risk of major cardiovascular events such as stroke, heart attack, or death in adults also with known heart disease. i'm lowering my risk. adults lost up to 14 pounds. i lost some weight. ozempic® isn't for people with type 1 diabetes. don't share needles or pens, or reuse needles. don't take ozempic® if you or your family ever had medullary thyroid cancer, or have multiple endocrine neoplasia syndrome type 2,

the rookie, then attend the good doctor and then stay with us for abc seven news at 11. all right. this is cool. nasa's cubesat launch initiative takes student

designed satellites and sends them up into space. this year, only one project was made entirely by high school students abc seven news south bay reporter dustin dorsey introduces us to the young engineers. >> most high school projects don't usually have lofty goals beyond an assignment and a grade, but in oakwood, school spacecraft systems engineering class, students know their latest assignment has cosmic implications. >> it gave me an opportunity to apply everything that i learned through, like through the different classes that this school offers and put it into a real project. >> our work is going to be sent to space, and that's like exciting news for all of us. >> you heard that right? spacex, nasa has launched more than 150 student designed satellites into space, and soon oakwood's nienstadt will be one of them heading to the international space station. >> we've got a total of six pieces. the side panels are all identical right now, but one of them is going to change. >> it's a work in progress that

started back in 2021. since then, students have designed this four by eight cube satellite with multiple functions. one uses acoustic mapping to see if an object is hollow or not, with greater reliability than existing methods. schools across the country were selected for this cubesat launch initiative, but only one featured the work of high school students. >> we're just incredibly proud of what these students have accomplished. they've done a bunch of real world engineering work where they have laid out circuit boards, and they've done structural design and they've built a satellite that i think will really advance what is possible to do in space in a number of ways. >> oakwood engineering instructor michael lyle says the goal of the class is to jump off the deep end and explore the possibilities of engineering, but students could never even imagine that their work would end up in space. they hope others can be inspired by their journey so they could reach new heights as well. >> this is something that it's not just local to oakwood like it's going out into the world and it's going to make a difference, and it's going to show other students that they can. if they have an idea, they

can do it. >> if you're given an opportunity to take a project of any sort, or maybe like a work opportunity, take it. you never know where it will take you. >> maybe even into space in morgan hill. dustin dorsey, abc seven news. >> all right, way to go, oakwood. smart kids. abc seven news is streaming for you 24 over seven. you can get the abc seven bay area streaming tv app, and that will let you join us whenever you want, wherever you are all right. that's going to do it for this edition of abc seven news at four. i'm larry biel, abc seven news at five is up next.
