ion as to how we act one towards another? thanks for watching. until next time, remember, the question is, what would you do? -- captions by vitac -- it's been an event that i wanted to see in person. >> i'm excited. i have my glasses ready and i'm looking forward to it. i expect it to be dark and black and hopefully really fun. >> it is a once in a lifetime show. finally about to begin. nonstop excitement for the total solar eclipse only hours away. good evening and thanks for joining us, everybody. i'm dionne lim. about 11 hours to go until the moon lines up

perfectly between the earth and the sun. 15 states are in the path of totality. taking a look at the map here, take a close look where more than 30 million people live in the places where the sun will be 100% covered. here in the bay area, we're at 34. with the eclipse expected to begin at about 10:11 a.m. tonight, it is the final rush for people traveling to eclipse hot spots. abc7 news reporter j.r. stone talked to locals traveling thousands of miles across the country in search of the perfect view. >> i'm a photographer from the bay area. i live in the east bay and brentwood. >> yeah, so i live in concord, uh- so it was a flight out of oakland. >> i am chris, this is my wife, leslie. we're from the bay area, hayward, california. >> all of these bay area residents have made their way to other parts of the united states, where the excitement is also high, and they hope to see the total solar eclipse on monday. we'll start with mike oria, who's already driven more

than 300 miles across texas, and check out his trunk. yes, he's living out of his car for this event, trying to find the best spot because of the fluid nature of chasing the weather, you really can't book any make any solid plans like that. >> so i have been uh- without a without running water or a toothbrush since uh- early yesterday morning. >> this is the location in terrell, texas that he has settled on pending any change in the weather. if mike gets a clear shot of the sky, he'll likely be able to file away some of his past pictures of partial eclipses in the bay area and replace them with new total solar eclipse ones down the road in austin, texas. our hayward's mr. and mrs. failing. what is the forecast look like there come tomorrow. not the best >> so right now it's showing us that there's going to be thunderstorms throughout the day. but but, we're heading a

bit west to lake travis and finally up in ohio, concord's mike zeigler. >> so flew out of oakland, connected in chicago and then flew into cleveland and then drove from cleveland down. so it's about an hour and a half drive. >> and he drove through this wintry mix to get to niles, ohio, now. and warren, ohio, monday. >> you're just short of the apocalypse. >> some people will say, oh, it's you know, the space geeks get right into this. and i didn't know if you consider yourself a space geek. >> no. not really. for me, it's definitely the once in a lifetime opportunity that life changing experience echoed by all these groups. >> the failings experienced the 2017 solar eclipse in oregon with their kids and believe a moment like that with friends will be equally as special. >> it was just such a visually life changing moment that everybody else was sold on us. one having a vacation together and two, why not see the eclipse at the same time? >> but as long as during our four minutes of totality

tomorrow we have something clear above, then we'll be looking good. jr stone, abc seven news. >> love everyone's journey now, even without totality, people here in the bay area will still have an exciting view tomorrow. ahead at 1130, we'll bring you to some of the bay area's eclipse hot spots from the big viewing parties to places off the beaten path. all right, bringing in abc seven news, spencer christian with a special eclipse edition of the accuweather forecast. i think we all just want to know, can we see it? >> we'll be able to see it. and as you put it so well, even without totality, it's an exciting event here. now here's a nighttime view just to show you how clear the skies are already from mount tam, we can not only see san francisco and the bay bridge, but we can see parts of oakland. so those clear skies will last into the morning and throughout the day. tomorrow it will be sunny and bright. we will certainly have a good viewing conditions. by the way, nice warm up there in the middle of the day. as you can tell

after a chilly start to the morning. so let's take a look at the solar eclipse and that path of totality about which you've heard so much. it runs through the central part of the us and up to the northeast, from texas, through the mid-mississippi valley into the eastern great lakes and new england. however, even though we're not anywhere near that path, we'll see about 34% of the sun eclipsed tomorrow and the viewing conditions will be absolutely perfect here. so maybe that's better than being in a place where we they get totality. but they have clouds. >> good way to put it. yeah. >> so i'm trying to encourage our viewers about our partial cloudy. >> all right. we'll check in with you a little bit later okay . well moving on. in the east bay, police are searching for a driver who crashed on the highway, killing a nine year-old girl. the driver was heading north on interstate 680 in concord at about five this morning, when he veered off the road and flipped over several times. chp says some passengers weren't wearing seat belts. the force of that crash threw several people from the car. the nine year-old died on the scene. four other women went to the hospital. investigators say the

30 year old man behind the wheel ran away after the crash. chp is trying to figure out what exactly caused that collision new details in that wild sideshow that shut down traffic on the bay bridge overnight. the dangerous driving took over the westbound lanes before treasure island at about three. the chp tells us about 100 cars took part in the sideshow. as you can see, crowds gathered to watch some, even setting off fireworks . witnesses say it lasted about 20 minutes, and the chp says it towed two cars and detained four people. police in oakland are increasing patrols on the weekends to try to deter sideshows, as opd says drivers caught participating can have their cars towed and held for a month. well, tonight marks six months since the surprise attack that set off the israel-hamas war. thousands took to the streets in israel to demand the

release of hostages taken by hamas on october 7th. palestinian officials say more than 33,000 people have died in gaza since the fighting started. this is now israel's longest war in more than 40 years, with no end in sight. negotiations for a cease fire and the release of hostages picked up again today in cairo. it's what people in the bay area with loved ones held hostage have been praying for. abc seven news reporter tara campbell takes us to today's vigil atop an overpass in lafayette, california. >> a message to the middle east. bring them home. >> we need them home. >> sunday, marking six months since october 7th and the hamas attack on israel, killing more than 1200 people and taking more than 250 hostage. this is your guy. >> he's my brother in law. it's very dear to my heart. >> sunday afternoon, bay area loved ones bringing attention to the 134 hostages still held captive in gaza. >> i think the most important thing to do is to continue to

speak about the hostages, bring them up in every conversation, raise awareness to the hostages, describing every day for the past six months as a difficult one. it's really hard to get out of bed every time i open my eyes. the first thing i do is check the news to see maybe there was a deal while i was sleeping. >> whatever little bit we can do here all the way in lafayette, california, helps. you know, we again, we magnify it. so a lot of more people know about the hostages and hopefully join us in just shouting, yelling, asking for them to be released. >> i still remember exactly where i was and what i was doing when i, when i learned about the october 7th uh- attack, state senator scott wiener is co-chair of the california legislative jewish caucus. now, there were exactly six months in uh- that trauma is still very real for jews around the world, and he's joining the voices calling for the return of the hostages and

an end to the war. this war needs to end. the hostages need to come home. hamas needs to no longer be running gaza. and we need to find a way to have peace. >> i have to believe that there are going to come home, that there are going to be. i don't know if they'll ever be whole, but they're going to come home. >> tara campbell, abc seven news. >> the biden administration took its sharpest tone yet with israel this week after airstrikes killed seven food aid workers in gaza. president biden told israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu, future u.s. support depends on protections for civilians and aid workers, and said an immediate cease fire is essential. it's a step toward what pro-palestinian activists in the bay area have pushed for months. >> people are really starting to rise up in the masses to say, we have seen enough of the way in which israel has desecrated the palestinian community, has desecrated palestinian culture.

>> netanyahu's office says the israeli government is taking immediate steps to send more humanitarian aid into gaza. time now for our abc7 news at 11 advancer, helping you get ahead on the headlines in the days to come. first, a milestone for the decade long project to relieve congestion on highway 101 at the novato narrows. starting thursday, traffic will be shifted to allow the next phase of construction to begin. that means southbound traffic from olive avenue and san antonio road will be realigned off the temporary median lanes and onto the newly constructed roadway. northbound traffic will be shifted to those temporary lanes, so the old northbound lanes can be reconstructed. caltrans says the exact timing of the shift and nighttime ramp closures, those will be announced in the coming days. the project is expected to be finished by summer of 2025. our second abc seven news at 11 advancer, is a sign of the growing battle in our libraries. the american library association

says more books are being targeted for censorship than ever before. tomorrow, the group will share the top ten books people tried to ban from libraries last year, according to the ala book bans in california are up more than 60% from 2022 to 23. nearly half of the books targeted represented lgbtq or bipoc voices. and our final answer tonight. net neutrality is back in the headlines. and the bay area is a big part of the conversation. tomorrow, the chairwoman of the fcc is visiting the south bay to discuss this month's vote to restore net neutrality. the rules ban internet service providers from blocking or throttling online traffic. the fcc ended net neutrality during the trump administration. california passed its own set of rules to keep all internet traffic equal. tomorrow's roundtable will include the santa clara county fire department. their internet access was throttled during wildfires in 2018. another plane

problem just after takeoff rattling travelers tonight. a plane's engine cover ripped off mid-flight, hitting the wing. the wild video of the last thing passengers wanted to see. plus, neighbors are rallying to get rent control back in one east bay community. why? the plan for rent relief is on hold and one of the largest heists of its kind. like something out of a movie. experts weigh in on what it took to steal tens of millions of dollars in cash. ta-da! hulu on disney+ is now available. i think we just found our new home. your favorites, together like never before. this is a destination spot. for disney bundle subscribers, hulu on disney+ is here.

from passengers flying southwest this morning as the cover on the

plane's engine just ripped off mid-flight. the good news? they turned around and landed safely. it's just the latest in a string of mechanical issues on board. boeing planes this year, now drawing increased scrutiny from federal investigators. the faa says an engine cover on the jet just fell off and smacked the wing shortly after takeoff in denver. the flight was bound for houston, southwest says no one was hurt and that it is reviewing maintenance records for the plane. the faa will investigate the incident. renters and concord held a car caravan this afternoon in support of rent control. they would have already had it, but the city's plan is now on hold. it was set to kick in this month, capping rent increases at 3% each year for people living in apartments built before 1995. last month, though, a group submitted plans for a referendum on the plan, forcing the city to put rent relief on pause. >> unfortunately, that has been put on hold by real estate interest groups. wealthy real

estate groups and rents keep going up. salaries don't go up. people are struggling to buy food. >> medicine petitioners have to collect 7200 signatures to get the city council to reconsider. city leaders will then have the choice of repealing the ordinance, or putting it on the november ballot to let voters decide, the california apartments association told us. it's not part of the petition, but it opposes rent control. new at 11 transit leaders in san mateo county are trying to cut off an alarming trend. rising attacks on bus drivers have samtrans cracking down, the transit agency says assaults on bus drivers more than tripled last year, compared to 2022. only 14 total. but it is concerning enough that samtrans is making changes. this past week, the board of directors approved a new code of conduct that could ban people for life if they attack a driver. >> we want to make sure that we are communicating with our public what our expectations are so that we can mitigate or

minimize any of these kinds of instances nationwide, the federal government says attacks on transit workers quadrupled since 2009. >> pretty soon, uber eats customers in phoenix, arizona, will have a new way to get their food. robo taxis san francisco based robo taxi service waymo will now deliver orders as part of a multiyear deal. uber eats has partnered with robot services to deliver in other pilot programs, but this is the first time using waymo. uber users will have a choice of having their food delivered by a person or automated vehicle. the new service rolls out on wednesday, one week after burglars pulled off one of the country's biggest ever cash heists. investigators still haven't found the money. investigators say thieves broke into a money storage facility in los angeles and made off with $30 million, police told the la times. the burglars broke in through the roof on easter sunday, then cracked a safe

holding bricks of cash. the company didn't find out about the theft until the next day. security experts say it likely would have taken a large crew with months of planning and inside knowledge to pull this off, simply moving the money would be tough. $30 million worth of bills could weigh more than three tons. i predict this is going to be a hollywood movie someday. >> stunning story. yeah my gosh. yeah, it'll probably be a movie. you're right. >> very ocean's 11 like. yeah, exactly. >> exactly. well, movie the movie the weather is an exciting isn't as exciting as that story. but that's a good thing, though. >> yes, we'll take it. >> we like calm weather. here's a look at our satellite radar composite image. high pressure building in from our south. it will be the controlling factor in our weather for the next few days. earlier this evening we had really strong wind gusts right now the wind is generally calm, but we've got some gusty conditions down around half moon bay right now and the 24 hour temperature change shows it's about two, three, maybe even four degrees warmer generally across the region than it was at

this time. last night. so let's take a closer look. san francisco 52 degrees and we have low 50s also at oakland hayward, san jose, san mateo and half moon bay. checking on temperature readings up in the north and to our east is 51 at santa rosa right now, mid to upper 40s at petaluma. napa only 42 at fairfield and low 50s at concord and livermore. and let's check out our forecast features right now. tomorrow is eclipse day. clear skies, great viewing conditions. tuesday through thursday. we expect sunny and much warmer weather. temperatures are going to soar during the mid week days, and by the end of the week it'll be turning sharply cooler. cooler again, which is typical of bay area weather changing from one extreme to the other overnight. mainly clear skies, low temperatures, generally in the low to mid 40s, but a little bit chillier in the far north where lows will drop into the mid to upper 30s. and as far as the solar eclipse is concerned tomorrow, that path of totality, about which you've heard so much, runs from texas up through the mid-mississippi valley into the eastern great lakes and into new england. so that's where the total eclipse will be seen, given viewing conditions that

are favorable. but here in the bay area, we'll have favorable viewing conditions, but only about 30% or 34% of totality will be visible to us. but we'll we'll have great weather tomorrow. sunny skies and high temperatures climbing into the upper 60s to about 70 around the bay shoreline and mainly low to mid 70s in our inland areas. so nice. mild day tomorrow and here's the accuweather seven day forecast. more mild to warm weather is coming our way. tuesday wednesday and thursday especially. we'll see high temperatures in the low 80s inland, up to about 80 around the bay shoreline and nearly 70 on the coast those two days. then on friday, it turns sharply cooler by about 12 to 14 degrees in some locations, and temperatures won't begin to rebound until next sunday. >> i spent part of your forecast thinking how i could incorporate total eclipse of the heart into a pun. >> that great song. >> yeah, love that song, but i couldn't. maybe you can think of something better. >> i'll give it some thought. okay. oh, sorry. >> thanks, spencer.

warmer. i mean, it's going to be almost summer like, but by the end of the week a sharp turn in the weather sharply cooler. so let's take a look at overnight conditions. clear skies, low temperatures, mainly in the low to mid 40s. a little chillier up north in the far north where lows will drop into the mid to upper 30s. then tomorrow eclipsed day. sunny skies all day with highs ranging from near 60 at the coast to upper 60s around the bay to low to mid 70s inland. and here's the accuweather seven day forecast. look at wednesday and thursday. low 80s inland, up to 80 around the bay shoreline, 70 on the coast. but friday and saturday will bring a sharp cooldown by about 14 degrees. so that's bay area weather. >> i was just about to say, oh, bay area mother nature. >> yeah, well, keeps us on our toes. >> can't make up her mind. all right, let's get to chris alvarez once again with another preview of sports. hi, chris. >> hey, dion. coming up in sports, more warriors talk. it's the final week of the regular season. what the warriors are saying about this stretch run as they get ready for the play in

38 games. the warriors are now 43 and 35 overall. now for comparison, they won 44 games last season, which was good enough for sixth in the west this season. it's good enough for the 10th spot with just four games left in the regular season. steph curry rested tonight. splash brother klay thompson, though, picked up the slack against utah. scored 25 of his game high 32 in the first half. klay was looking like klay and jonathan kuminga full speed ahead as he scored 21 in his return from a knee injury. it's the final week and some still play in seeding to be determined, but the dubs are building momentum. >> yeah we're definitely a better team. better better two way basketball. better i think, connection. better chemistry, there's a much better vibe with this team, so i still believe firmly that we can do something special.

>> i think we're playing the best brand of basketball. we played all season, and i am going to be very confident going into the play-in. >> obviously, it's going to be a lot harder than it normally would. you know, we're going to have to win at least one, probably two play in games, and that's not easy. but you know, if we can get a chance, i like i like this group's chances on the men's side. >> a shocker late tonight, espn reports john calipari is leaving kentucky after 15 seasons to become head coach at arkansas. reportedly a five year deal should be done soon. coach cal won the 2012 national championship with the wildcats, but lost a double digit seeds in the first round of the ncaa tournaments, the last two seasons. arguably the giants biggest edition of the off season, two time cy young award winner blake snell, will make his debut against washington tomorrow through a simulated game last week in l.a. ahead of friday's opener, i asked bob melvin about snell zillas debut in orange and black.

>> yeah, i think everybody's excited. and you know, now we're starting to get some guys back that are really impactful. you know, started out a little bit on the other side of it as far as full health. and you know, so him coming back is going to be huge for us i think you know exciting for the fans as well. >> and the biggest news of the week, the oakland a's saying this will be their 57th. and last season at the oakland coliseum. they're planning to play the next three seasons in sacramento. the 14 000 seat minor league sutter health park before eventually moving to vegas in 2028. abc seven's casey pratt has followed the saga from the beginning, and thursday was a tough day on a fittingly gloomy day in sacramento. >> the transfer station from the oakland a's to the triple a's has become complete. the team with the lowest payroll in baseball, the team that traded away all of its biggest stars, is now coming to play in a minor league ballpark in sacramento, and the people of sacramento don't even get any assurances that major league baseball will be here to stay.

>> i mean, we were just too far apart, like, it just it was not a competitive offer and unfortunately, that we couldn't get close enough to really put it in the consideration set. and we had a really viable and robust offer here from the kings. >> we can prove that there's a market here. we can make the team successful. i think we're in pole position to get the new franchise pole positions. >> nice. but is there any assurances at all or is this just something he said he would be willing to entertain? >> yeah, i know there's no guarantee. you know, we have to show what we can do. and i have complete confidence that if we set our mind to something, this is an incredible city. we have the best fans in the world. and at the end of the day, the best fans in the world will make it happen. >> all right, to the ice. let's dance. the sharks won an ot last night hosting arizona this afternoon. second period luke cunnin getting it done on both sides of the puck. first the hard check and then moments later his 10th goal of the year

game tied at two. but arizona scored the next three goals. look at this nick schmaltz assist between the legs and then clayton keller slapshot that goes between the defenseman's legs made it four two. sharks lose five two, just five games left in the regular season. abc seven sports is sponsored by river rock casino. >> dion chris. thank you. a reminder that you can watch all of our newscasts live and on demand through the abc seven bay area connected tv app. it's available for apple tv, google tv, amazon fire tv, and roku. just download the app now and start streaming for free. well, that's it for tonight, everybody. i'm dionne lim, the news continues tomorrow morning at 5:00 for spencer and chris and all of us. thanks so much for joining us. we leave you now with a live look outside where conditions look to be clear and prime for all of that eclipse watching tomorrow. get your glasses, get your calendars, get whatever you got. happy eclipse
