grocery store. this is happening at the safeway in american canyon. it is on american canyon road, just off highway 29. sky seven shows police at the gas station connected to that store. the shooting happened about 430 this afternoon, so about an hour and a half ago. there's no confirmation yet on how many people were shot or what condition they are in. police have issued a shelter in place order for the area surrounding the store. they're telling people to stay away from that area again in napa county. we will bring you more details just as soon as they come in there. you see the safeway located on american canyon road near highway 29. we'll keep you updated on this. good evening. thank you for joining us. i'm dan ashley and i'm dionne lim. >> to our other top story a harrowing rescue effort along the marine coastline after a man falls 50 to 60ft down a cliff, desperately holding on until help finally arrives. just okay, don't let go, man. >> don't let go. okay? don't let go. >> oh. incredible video. that

man did not let go. and he is safe tonight. thanks to the heroism and expertise of the sonoma county sheriff's office, they pulled the man from the cliff overlooking the pacific near the battery alexander trail in the golden gate. national recreation area, near rodeo beach. >> as abc seven news reporter ryan curry explains, rescuers say this was one of the most precarious rescues they've ever done. they don't let go, man. don't let go, okay? clinging to life. if this man lets go, it could be devastating. >> why is your left hand in here, brother? >> unfortunately, we lose. probably 1 to 2 people per year falling off these cliffs. >> rescuers coming from a helicopter, lifting this man to safety battalion chief jason golden says his crew at the southern marin fire department got a call around 745 sunday night about a man who had fallen off a cliff near the battery alexander trail, southern marin fire called the sonoma county sheriff's department, asking them to bring their helicopter. when they found the man. he was 120ft down the cliff, clinging

to the side. >> the victim was about 40ft off the water line. the tide was coming in and was stuck on the cliff. >> it was dark and they had to use night vision to locate him. once the straps were secured, they were able to lift him out. i got you brother. a rescue that took over a half hour. the rescuer afterwards speaking with him, said that that was one of the most precarious rescues because of how how the victim was grabbing on and how quickly they were to let him go. this trail is full of steep cliffs with far drops leading directly to the ocean. the fire department knew there was no way they could rescue this man without using a helicopter. >> it was just a much, much faster operation in to use the helicopter, and the individual was starting to lose their grip. >> luckily, golden says the man is doing okay. they took him to the hospital after the rescue, but says when they got off the cliff he only had a few scrapes and bruises. golden says these trails are popular when the weather gets nice, as they offer gorgeous views of the ocean. but he wants people to know these cliffs can be dangerous.

>> please, please be very careful when you get to the cliffs. don't go up close to the edge. and please don't try and climb up in the north bay. >> ryan curry, abc seven news. >> what a close call. trouble along another section of our coastline this weekend. a section of highway one gave way along highway one south of carmel on saturday, stranding locals and visitors alike. abc seven news reporter zach fuentes shows you the effort underway now to try to get the tourists out and the residents home. >> frightening images continue to come from monterey county. caltrans calls it a slip out. this portion is on highway one, just south of the rocky creek bridge. the southbound lane that takes people into big sur slid down a cliff saturday afternoon. no one was hurt, but at one point, more than 1600 tourists and locals were trapped. but help wasn't far away. >> it was a holiday weekend. we had a lot of day trippers that were stuck and isolated. >> colin, two, haig and ben perlmutter run big sur river inn. no strangers to natural disasters in the area. the business was one of many that worked to help those impacted,

opening their restaurant rooms and providing wi-fi in the area that has limited cell service as a community. >> the businesses together were able to take care of everyone that was down here. >> while people were initially stranded, convoys supervised by engineers took visitors through the closure one convoy in the morning and one in the afternoon have gotten residents and essential workers back and forth since then. still, monterey county said the regularity of that isn't guaranteed. >> forecasts are a little bit uncertain right now, so the weather could have an impact on our ability to convoy people out the roads. >> slip out is led to the closure of all state parks in the big sur area until further notice. and this closure is just another hit to the big sur community. work is still being done on slides that have also closed part of highway one further south. the closures now on both sides have crushed the hopes of local businesses. >> we felt the inklings of a promising summer season in front of us, and rather than have that promising summer season, what it looks like now is we might have a very quiet summer. typically, summer is our opportunity to

make back the losses that we experienced throughout every single winter. >> right now, they are hopeful that engineers can determine that the northbound lane is stable enough to allow one way traffic in with a temporary traffic light. if that becomes a reality and becomes a possibility, all of the businesses down here will probably will want to do everything we can to not discourage people from visiting, but to encourage folks to come to big sur to help support our community and all of our all of our people, in this community that depend on the hospitality businesses for their livelihood right now, the cause of the slip out is still being determined. caltrans says crews are working on next steps to stabilize the edge of the roadway and design a permanent repair plan. right now in the south bay bureau, zach fuentes, abc seven news. >> rideshare drivers are pushing back against issues they claim are affecting their earnings and job security. dozens of drivers held a series of so-called no fools rallies today in front of uber and lyft headquarters in san francisco. they say they've noticed a decline in pay due to

high company fees, delayed stipends and sudden ride cancellations. they are also fighting for better methods to appeal deactivations and protect drivers against false claims from riders. >> there is no process in place by these companies to fast track drivers and put them back on the platform. >> uber tells abc seven news that they have made significant improvements, allowing drivers to appeal false allegations. lyft also responded, saying its drivers will always make at least 70% of weekly rider fares after fees. >> starting today, fast food workers across california got a big pay raise. a more than half a million employees are now earning at least $20 an hour. abc seven news reporter lena howland looks at the impact on this wage increase for employees. business owners and you as well. >> april 1st marks a fresh start for fast food workers across the golden state, with a new minimum wage of $20 an hour. that's $4 higher than california's general

$16 an hour minimum wage. >> pero even though we are the engine of $1 billion industry, too many of us struggle to keep up with rent, our bills, and the rising cost of living. >> angelica hernandez, a mcdonald's worker, has been in the fast food industry for the past 19 years, and she says this will make a big difference in her personal life. >> this raise gives us more of a chance to make ends meet, a chance to breathe a little easy, a chance to buy a coffee, or maybe take our family to the movies. >> the state doubled its minimum wage for most workers over the past decade, despite concerns that it would lead to job loss due to higher expenses. instead a new study released by the roosevelt institute says wages went up and employment didn't change. we have a group that raised this minimum wage or had minimum wages that were higher and another group that did not, and they're very comparable before the minimum wages in california start to increase. >> and we found substantial wage

increases. we did not find employment declines. >> tia kuntz, a legal and policy research manager at the ucla labor center, says companies can afford to share the wealth, with 80% of california fast food workers being people of color. >> i would argue that surely instead of layoffs, they can share some of those profits with the poorest workers in california. the women of color work in two minimum wage jobs, get their three kids to school on the bus. surely instead of layoffs, those folks could share their profit. >> but at the same time, business owners still worry they'll have to raise prices to offset the costs. >> but this bill, ab 1228, has really hit our operations hard. we're no longer hiring. we're not back filling positions. we're not growing in the state anymore. we're not expanding more locations. and i'm ultimately thinking about selling or closing my business. >> and there are some exceptions to this law, including bakeries and those smaller stores found

in airports and grocery stores. lena howland, abc seven news. >> in the north bay, sonoma could become the first us county to ban some controversial animal feeding operations. the board of supervisors is considering a ballot measure to end factory farming, also known as concentrates and animal feeding operations. critics say those kinds of farms exceed animal population limits and contribute dramatically to pollution and other health and safety concerns . it is estimated there are about 24 factory farms in sonoma county. >> it's a very small fraction compared to the total number of farms in the county, and yet across these two dozen facilities, there are approximately 2.9 million animals confined. >> the sonoma county farm bureau is fighting the ordinance. the organization says it would have catastrophic impacts on our local economy and set a dangerous precedent for other animal agriculture producers. >> tomorrow is exactly four

weeks since california voters went to the polls and we're still waiting for the final results on a key race. the candidate who will challenge former san jose mayor sam liccardo for the 16th congressional district seat is still all this time later, too close to call the latest numbers show santa clara county supervisor joe simitian leading assemblyman evan low by just five votes. it is that close now. it is important to remember here there are hundreds of ballots that have been challenged. most of the time, it's because a signature doesn't match what's on file. voters have until tomorrow to resolve the challenged ballots. the election will be certified one week from friday. >> well, drivers of clean air vehicles. beware. next while your days cruising through california's carpool lanes could be numbered if something dramatic doesn't happen, and later, the proposed change for oakland international airport and why the folks at sfo

those days may soon be ending without federal and state intervention, those stickers won't be renewed come 2025. abc seven news reporter leslie brinkley explains the repercussions. >> september 30th, 2025. that's when the california clean air vehicle program is set to expire for everyone. so all owners of electric plug in or natural gas vehicles with a rainbow of stickers on their car, allowing them access to the carpool lane, would no longer have access. >> really, a whole generation of

drivers have come up uh- with carpool access as an incentive for buying a clean air vehicle, and that access is uh- in relatively short order. will be disappearing. >> the problem is, first, the federal government has to allow states to extend their programs for clean air vehicles. then california would be able to extend carpool access. but that scenario seems highly unlikely given the stalemate in congress. >> to the best of my knowledge, there's there isn't even a bill introduced yet uh- on this. and so time is running out. there are over 400,000 drivers in california who currently have decals. >> many of them bought their clean air vehicle to speed up their commute, so losing that privilege is a big deal. >> it's frustrating because, you know, like i said, the main reason for the frustration is driving in the bay area traffic. >> there's another side to this. it could greatly benefit even incentivize, casual carpooling

greatly decreasing the number of cars passing through that carpool lane at rush hour. mtc says there are many possible outcomes, but the clock is ticking. it's unknown how that 2025 expiration date for decals could affect the sales of new clean air vehicles in california. in the east bay, i'm leslie brinkly. abc seven news. >> from the east bay to the south bay, a new state of the art genomics lab is now open at kaiser permanente san jose. genomics is the study of human genes and how they interact with each other and their environment . a traditional testing allows for diagnosis and treatment of genetic disorders. the new lab will specialize in the screenings of hundreds of genetic conditions at a single time, while also exploring and monitoring treatment options. >> kaiser permanente expects to perform about 45,000 noninvasive prenatal tests a year. that's in addition to about 30 or so

thousand other tests. we expect the new facility to enable us to double that. >> the new lab is also highly automated, which kaiser officials say will help reduce the workload for the hospital's lab technicians. >> p-g-and-e's is tired of people digging up their equipment on accident, a problem they say is expensive and dangerous. you are supposed to call 811 before digging for construction or landscaping to make sure there are no p-g-and-e's lines in the area, but the utility says that is not happening. p-g-and-e's counts nearly 140 damaged lines in santa clara county last year. the company says the county is already up to 16 so far this year, and even small projects could become big problems. >> they go, i'm going to only dig a couple of inches. well, some utility lines can be very shallow, so it is important to call every time. >> p-g-and-e's says damaging a line can be expensive for the people responsible. the average repair bill tops $3,500, just

not worth the risk. >> better safe than sorry. yeah, let's talk about the weather forecast. a gorgeous spring like day today. but there are some changes. >> yeah, but let's not think about that. we've got a few days. right, lisa? yeah. >> let's not. because tomorrow, almost as nice as today. 77 today, santa rosa, sonoma, san rafael. that's about ten degrees above average. it was 69 in san francisco and 71 in oakland. we should be in the low 60s downtown and 67 san jose and santa rosa. so well above average. big ridge of high pressure protecting us today and tomorrow. no, it doesn't last. you've probably heard about it in fact, we're going to get a big whiplash by the end of the workweek. with temperatures struggling to make it out of the 50s with cold rain headed our way. 64 in san francisco, it is 66, in oakland, 68 in hayward, 70. san jose 67. san mateo. nobody there except right in the corner back there, a few sea lions, 73 in fairfield, 70 santa rosa. so really nice out there

for the next few hours. and in fact, tonight we'll get into patchy low clouds and fog. and another just as mild day for most of us. for your tuesday, you can see the onshore flow allowing for a bit of a breeze. san francisco was significantly cooler than the rest of the bay, but still delightful out there. tomorrow. sunny, mild to warm again and that high pressure begins to break down. we are cooler on wednesday, a mix of clouds and sun and then by thursday we're looking at showers. chance of a thunderstorm as we get into thursday and friday. i know it's the giants home opener and those thunderstorms are that unsettled. weather looks to sink pretty far south on friday, so still an early call on that. we'll try to fine tune it. we will fine tune it. but as you look at the forecast highs for tomorrow in this column, you can see all the average high temperatures in the 60s. so we will be anywhere from 2 to 11 degrees warmer tomorrow for your tuesday. so a gorgeous day out there seems like we've been deprived right of the warmer

weather. it has been wetter, it has been cooler than average. and that trend, it looks like it's going to come back into play as we get towards the middle of the week. low clouds and fog for the north bay by the delta for your tuesday morning. then look at the push for wednesday. we've got high clouds and low clouds set up for a much cooler afternoon. and then by thursday morning there's the rain. and in fact, more unstable air for the chance of thunderstorms as we get into your thursday later day and friday. so 60s 70s tomorrow. beautiful afternoon. look at the cooldown for wednesday. we're in the low 60s. only 60 in oakland. that's below average. and then by thursday. yeah, it is so cold that we could see a rain snow mix, mount diablo, mount hamilton, but we're not going to have a whole lot of moisture with this next system. highs tomorrow 70, oakland 75 and concord 78. in san jose 74. santa rosa 65, san francisco. enjoy it. soak it up the accuweather seven day forecast. beautiful for your tuesday wednesday you're going to feel

that cool down. partly cloudy thursday. level one system friday morning showers. hopefully they'll get out of town for the giants opener. and then by saturday it's dry. it's cool. it's below average on sunday and we'll recover on monday. we're going to need to recover. it's the heat on the blankets. the jackets again traumatizing. >> very confusing. yeah it is. >> you'll be okay. >> thank i don't know. >> thanks, lisa. >> well, they are the best of the best. >> they are next. >> the bay area basketball stars set to play in the most prestigious high school hoops game in

and abc seven news. south bay reporter dustin dorsey introduces us to the bay area athletes set to tip off tomorrow night. >> for more than 40 years, the mcdonald's all-american game showcases some of the best high school ballers in the country. from michael jordan, candace parker, kobe bryant and maya moore. this year for bay area athletes were selected to play in the prestigious game. morgan kelly from archbishop mitty high school in san jose and zoom diallo, aidan, cheryl and darion reed from prolific prep of napa christian. >> the experience has been great, just the opportunity to get better and playing around competition that's as good as you and some even better hear these young players get to showcase what will make them stars at the collegiate level, and beyond. >> the scrimmages, practices and game are all under the brightest of lights. >> i love competing, especially against the top guys. it's been great, like we've been going at it and i'm looking forward to like winning that game for sure. >> but even more than just winning every year, these

athletes also get the opportunity to give back. this week, the teams visited the ronald mcdonald house to meet children and families of the houston area. it's one of the special opportunities getting invited to the game offers, but it's not easy to get here. >> you don't get to get these opportunities without the work. so i would tell, you know, young athletes, you know, continue to stay in the gym, continue to grind because, you know, the work is just only going to show itself. work no doubt. >> mittie's morgan kelly put in to get here playing in this game is special, but it's only been possible for girls since 2002. with more eyes than ever on women's basketball, thanks to stars like caitlin clark and juju watkins, kelly looks forward to being part of the rise of the growing women's game . >> i think we're definitely getting more opportunities now. and it's really nice to see, like more coverage on women's sports. and i mean, it's growing so much right now exponentially. and so, it's super exciting and i love that. we're like, women's sports is getting the credit that it's deserved. >> it all goes down on april 2nd

when kelly and the girls tip off at 330 on espn two, followed by the prolific prep stars and the boys at 6 p.m. on espn. dustin dorsey, abc seven news. >> pretty exciting stuff. well, today is the start of earth month and the walt disney company and national geographic are launching a new global initiative called our home, spotlighting efforts to protect, restore, and celebrate our planet. take a look. >> our world is an amazing, epic, fragile, wonder filled place. it's our home and we have the power to love and look after it. this earth day, join national geographic and disney and take action to protect, restore and celebrate our planet. visit disney planet possible. com to learn more and join the celebration on disney plus. all month long. >> a lot to look forward to this earth month, including the eclipse on april 8th and of course, earth day is monday, april 22nd. well just ahead

oakland international airport. officials at san francisco international? well, they don't like it at all. welcome back. officials with the port of oakland want to change the name from metropolitan oakland international airport to san francisco bay. oakland international airport. >> now, they believe it would sustain passenger traffic and reaffirm the airport's proximity to san francisco. however sfo officials think the new name could cause some confusion. they say oakland airport should consider a different name. >> our concern, especially for international travelers, is that somebody may book a flight thinking that they're going to one location, and only when they land do they realize they're going to a completely different airport. >> now the port of oakland's commissioners will vote on the name change proposal april 11th. the airport code and visual

brand, those things would stay the same. >> san francisco mayor london breed is about to head to china. the mayor will leave on april 13th on a nine day mission to promote tourism. according to our media partners at the sf standard, breed wants to strengthen relations with shanghai and hopes to return with good news about pandas potentially coming to the san francisco zoo. chinese tourists spent more than one dollars billion a year here pre-pandemic . a bridge itinerary includes stops in hong kong, shenzhen, guangzhou and shanghai, as well as beijing and abc. seven news insider phil matier is here to talk more about the mayor's upcoming trip. who's going to pay for this trip? well, i'm not , but you're more than welcome to contribute if you want to trips like this are paid for by a group that is basically a booster group for chinese and american relationships. >> and from san francisco protocol and tourism and such like that. so it's not public tax dollars at work here. is it a junket? well, partially. it's a good time. people get together

and they go and they have cultural exchanges. this one was set up during the recent apec meeting here in san francisco, where the president of china was in attendance, and they managed to score this. and while she's there, she's looking to attract more tourism, as we pointed out, and possibly maybe an interest of chinese universities to locate a campus, possibly in the downtown area, or as to try to fill that area and thirdly, to get some panda time. yeah. okay and that's the goal is to try to get the pandas, which are headed for san diego, to actually make a stop and stay in san francisco, reroute them a little bit. >> all right. talking about rerouting as we just reported, sfo officials there taking issue with oakland's international's proposed name change, they want to do this rebranding. i mean, where do you see all of this playing out, phil? >> well, it's interesting because, you know, the oakland is basically saying what san francisco is saying, that they want to rebrand it in order to attract more people. but san francisco says, yes, you're going to be attracting more people, but is it going to be a

bait and switch? if somebody now somebody from the bay area knows where oakland is, someone from california does, but somebody coming in from, let's say, beijing or buenos aires or london does it necessarily. and they might be a little shocked when they get off the plane. and it's on the other side of the bay. okay. so that's part of it. now, the stockton tried to do this back in 2017 because they wanted to do it san francisco, stockton regional airport. they said that's a bit of a stretch. it's 77 miles. san francisco objected then as well. and they backed off. whether oakland backs off remains to be seen. san francisco, you're going to be hearing from lawmakers and state lawmakers urging a reconsider asian and san francisco. while it can't stop, it, does hold the copyright, apparently for those words. when it comes to an airport. so there might be a legal challenge and it's just defending its turf at the end of the day. >> all right. earlier in the newscast, we talked about the starting in september of 2025, next year, california's clean air vehicle program expires, meaning owners of electric plug in hybrids or natural gas vehicles will not be allowed

access to those carpool lanes. any effort to try to save this? i know they're popular by a lot of people with evs. >> they are, but they're not necessarily popular with the rest of the people. i mean, we have about 411,000 of these stickers out there. some of them are active, some of them are inactive. but, you know, one of the questions is originally the those lanes were set in to get people out of their cars and share cars. and then it became a way to get clean up the environment with electric. and then it got a little crowded. and so now they've come up with a solution. i'm not sure how effective those stickers really are, because now all those diamond lanes, they're toll lanes. yeah. right. okay. >> you and i were just talking about this, so maybe it's time electric vehicles have come on their own, and we'll see what happens from there. all right, phil, thanks very much. >> well, starting tomorrow, san francisco school district employees will be able to apply for the city's first affordable housing development, built specifically for teachers. abc seven news reporter luz pena spoke to the school district superintendent on what this means for the city. >> the day has come.

applications for the first affordable housing building that will prioritize sfusd employees and teachers is set to open on tuesday. >> we're thrilled that this is coming. we've been struggling with staffing and recruiting and retaining, and so it means so much to be able to have our educators have an option in the city. >> san francisco unified school district superintendent doctor matt wayne is hoping affordable housing will help the district retain and attract more educators. >> there's a big need. about half of our employees live outside the city, and we'd love to have as many as possible in the city. and we know one of the major barriers is affordable housing. >> the site is still under construction, but once finalized, the 135 unit building will house san francisco unified school district employees and teachers to qualify, their household income needs to be between 42,000 to 160 k, according to the latest school district data. 15% of teachers in san francisco spend more than 50% of their income on rent. malcolm x academy teacher kareem

isom is hoping he will be selected. >> for myself and my family, it just means a lot, because i do have kids, i am a single father and so just for them to have more space, the building is located in the sunset district and will have 24 studios as well as 43 one bedroom apartments, 58 two bedroom apartments, and nine three bedrooms. >> the site will also have amenities that will allow teachers to collaborate, a space where teachers can go and study or plan. the process has taken almost a decade. in 2015, the board of supervisors and the board of education passed a resolution supporting the building of educator housing in san francisco. the city says the project was delayed due to covid 19 and svusd budget cuts. >> we anticipate there will be a lot of demand which really interesting about this project is that it utilized land that is currently owned by the school district. >> the site is set to open in

the fall of this year, and the school district is already planning to expand it starting next month. >> we're going to put out proposals to try to develop two more properties in san francisco luz pena, abc seven news. >> it is a small but important accomplishment. >> up next, the coast guard finished a task today, moving the port of baltimore one step closer to reopening after last

my name's dan and i live here in san antonio, texas. i ran my own hvac business and now i'm retired. i'm not good being retired. i'm a pain in the neck. i like to be able to have a purpose. about three or four years ago, i wasn't feeling as if i was as sharp as i used to be. i saw the prevagen commercials. after a short amount of time taking prevagen, i started noticing a difference-- that i'm remembering this, i'm remembering that. i stopped taking prevagen and i found myself slacking back so i jumped right back on it. prevagen. at stores everywhere without a prescription.

state's 15 week ban already in place and will allow a six week ban signed by governor ron desantis to take effect in 30 days. in a separate ruling, the court voted 4 to 3 in favor of allowing a proposed amendment that would enshrine abortion protections in the state constitution to appear on the november ballot. >> a rough day for donald trump and his social media company. shares of truth, social's parent company, the trump media and technology group, plunged 21% after the company disclosed that it lost $58 million and generated very little revenue last year. the former president saw his net worth tumble by more

than $1 billion today. as a result, the losses are so severe that trump's media accountants say they raised substantial doubt that it will be able to stay in business. the company went public last week, a critical milestone tonight in the race to clear out that deadly bridge collapse in baltimore. >> crews have opened a temporary channel, allowing more boats to help in the cleanup. it's also allowing the most critical commercial ships to start moving through the port again. crews are still cutting up what's left of the francis scott key bridge into small enough pieces to haul away. there's still no timeline to finish this delicate process. of course, this is a very significant port on the east coast. president biden is set to visit the site on friday recovering from a different kind of disaster. coming up next, the restaurant leading the way in lahaina effort to rebound from last summer's devastating wildfire

damage. as a result. however, one popular oceanfront restaurant survived the destruction and recently reopened its doors. >> and as you'll see in this

localish report, mala ocean tavern is a beacon of hope for the whole community. >> while ocean tavern has been here since 2004, it already was a lahaina staple where people came to celebrate special occasions and birthdays. and now there's a little bit of deeper meaning and something more special. we're located on front street, and front street is like one of the most iconic streets in the world. when you have your daily routine completely shook, and when people are able to drop in and see you, it's been really joyous to see everyone and be able to hug them and speak to them and just have a bit of what we remember. we feel very blessed that. mala ocean tavern

we are the first to open on front street and we're just thrilled to be here. >> well, we specialize in hawaii regional cuisine, so the original chef owner was one of the founders of hawaii regional cuisine. this building was built over 100 years ago. it was a pineapple waystation. this area has been special for hundreds of years. long before we came along. >> the next day, i came down here with my dirt bike because i wanted to see everything for myself. and i remember walking down the street and i saw the building still standing, and i was just, like, blown away. >> it's crying like, i can't believe this is really here. like it's still here, it was a miracle. >> the first thing on our mind is our people. let's take care of our people first and figure all that out. then we started focusing on mala and the business and the restaurant, cleaning out everything and getting it ready. >> we had to get water. that was

like our biggest thing, but also the sewers. the power. it's been so many hurdles to overcome, opening back up. >> every time i walk in there, i'm just like, oh, it feels like i'm like gone back in time and i'm just like, oh, i'm in a happy place, you know? and i do feel different when i leave because i am reminded of, of all the destruction. but it does feel like one step in the right direction, like this is a little bit of healing. >> we really just invite people to come in and enjoy and be here and be present and share the aloha and not feel the need to ask the deep questions. because literally every single one of our staff members, every single person in lahaina, every single person who resides on maui, have been impacted by what happened here. we're so happy to see all the smiling faces and people have been so beautiful and so respectful and so kind, and our

community has come out in full force to support us. and it's just really wonderful seeing all those familiar faces. >> you know, i'll come around the corner and i'll see a regular sitting at the bar that i haven't seen in six months, and i'll just kind of have that jolt of what, is this all a dream? was that a dream? what happened? you know, it's just so special seeing people coming here and seeing people eat and the reservations and stuff like that, like it is a it is a sign of relief. >> please come and support maui. please visit the businesses that are in lahaina or on the west side up north from us that have been impacted. i think now it's been over six months and a lot of these small businesses need the support of tourism, need the support of local people with the support of all the people that have been coming and all the smiles and all the tears, happy tears, you know, there have been lots of happy tears. >> i can't even describe how how wonderful it is to have the support and just have people coming in and being so grateful.

>> that's great bit by bit, right? getting on their feet and something about joining over food and community makes it extra special. uplifting. all right. let's talk a little bit about the weather forecast. we were heading right into spring and now we seem to be pulling back a little. >> yeah we're going to take a nosedive in a little bit. yeah >> definitely putting on the brakes after tomorrow. gorgeous evening out there. check out san francisco 64 degrees right now. look at all the blue sky. and you know, if you have plans out for tonight. lucky you, because it is still quite mild out there. 70 in san jose looking at low 60s. half moon bay. and from our sutro tower camera clear just a lovely night. 69 in napa with temperatures in the 70s in our inland valley. so compared to yesterday, we are anywhere from 7 to 12 degrees warmer at this hour. so looking at the trends tomorrow, still 70s. look what happens in san jose. upper 60s on wednesday and then 50s. here we go up in napa 70s tomorrow 60s on wednesday. the breeze kicks up. we've got a

cold rain coming. chance of a thunderstorm as we get through wednesday and thursday. so enjoy tomorrow the accuweather seven day forecast. then that level one system coming in on thursday. i know the giants home opener on friday. hopefully that rain will sink south, but nonetheless it's going to be cold, it's going to be brisk and then over the weekend get a break from the rain. but we won't warm up until next monday. >> so two words i was hoping not to hear in a while. cold and brisk and rain and rain and our storm impact scale. >> oh, let's let's move on. yeah, let's not talk about your things up with sports director larry biel. >> i will uplift the conversation, don't look now, but the warriors have won four in a row standing in the way of that winning streak. the one man gang known as luka, luka doncic and the mavericks coming to town. and he's making like it's ridiculous. these shots. come on now, luka. underhand sports is next

[ chuckles ] - ...a "love my new teeth" day. because your clearchoice day is the day everything is back on the menu. a clearchoice day changes every day. schedule a free consultation. is good evening. with only eight games left in the regular season, the warriors have a two game lead now on the rockets for the 10th and final play in spot in the west. and i know for all the talk about draymond green losing his cool in orlando, getting thrown out of the game, he was tremendous last night in san antonio when he keeps his cool. draymond can make a huge impact and is a big part of the

dubs. going four and one on this last road trip. he got the key offensive rebound in the final moments and the assist to klay thompson help put the spurs away. his stats amazing 21 points 11 assists, six steals, six rebounds and all the while he was dealing with seven for victor wembanyama. >> my man draymond was incredible tonight. that was a defensive masterpiece. draymond is a he's a genius defensively. >> the way draymond played was unbelievable. presence felt. he does it. on the defensive end. he does it with his matchups. you know making those extra plays. but even tonight on the offensive end being aggressive taking what the defense gave him gave us a huge boost. >> you know at this time of year you want to be playing well. you you know you got to win right now. obviously we all know what the standards are and all of that stuff. so it was a good trip for us. and now we got to go back home and try to build them. >> speaking of which, the warriors will play host to luka

doncic and the mavericks tomorrow night. luka, coming off a 47 point game against the rockets, highlighted by this what do i do? underhanded shot from like 20 something feet with a defender all over him. like that's a bad shot in a game of horse, right? right unless your name is luka doncic. ridiculous nfl news 40 niners quarterback brock purdy not eligible for a huge pay increase until after next season. we got a nice little bump in pay from the nfl. purdy got what they call a performance based bonus, and i don't know why they haven't started doing this in television. but anyway, for taking the niners to the super bowl and making the pro bowl, purdy made $985,000 last season, got over 739 k in bonus pay. so it works out to about like 75% of his salary. i know it's not patrick mahomes money 45 million a year that'll that'll come, but it's a nice check to find in the mail. right. little baseball home opener on the north side. cubs rockies two on for the cubs christopher morel in the sixth base. hit to left. runner is going to move up. oh, no. the

rockies are bad. nolan jones misplayed the ball all the way to the wall. one run in, two runs in. cue the clown car music. the two uh- defenders there. the ball gets away from those two guys. it's a little league home run and the cubs win five nothing. after splitting four games in san diego, the giants open a series with the dodgers in l.a. tonight. new center fielder jung-woo lee seems to be the real deal. hit his first home run over the weekend in san diego, and the korean broadcasters loved every second of it. >> nam. suh >> oh, he. the reason the to make. oh he's over k-beauty. >> good to go into zaga bazzoni. >> i have no idea what they were

saying, but i love it. the giants gave lee a $100 million deal to get him from south korea to come over here, and he is living up to the hype so far. abc seven sports sponsored by your northern california honda dealers and the woman who was basically taken over college basketball, caitlin clark 41 points tonight as iowa advances to the final four. they beat lsu, 9487, in what was a rematch of last year's national championship game. caitlin clark 41 points. >> the real deal. good stuff. show you that. thanks. >> all right, well, that's it for this edition of abc seven news. i'm diane lim and i'm dan ashley for lisa. >> arjun larry biel all of us here. we appreciate your time. hope you have a great evening and we'll see you again at 11.
