on this ticket and to help vice president harris become what we all know is very, very good for

us to think about. >> now, at six, vice president harris and her new running mate making their debut as their seven state tour gets underway today. what bay area politicians are saying about the introduction of governor tim walz to the democratic ticket? >> a stray bullet goes through an east bay home and hits a man in the head. his family talking only to abc seven news as they try to process what happened. >> and it could be another hot one across the bay area today, some of you may be seeing triple digit temperatures, but there could be some relief on the way. >> good morning. and it's wednesday, august 7th. >> start the check of that hot forecast with you. >> yeah. you know, when it's fog free from that view that we're in store for a warm day, we'll take a look at the exploratorium camera once again. and you can see we have clear skies, calm waters on the bay. it's going to be a nice morning if you are taking the ferries. we have really comfortable conditions out there right now, mid 50s in the city, but we're in the mid

60s in the south bay, 65 right now in san jose. good morning oakland. you're at 60 degrees. the wider view will show you we have some mild air inland from danville to brentwood to livermore. we're in the mid 60s, but in the north bay we do have some cooler numbers in the valleys of sonoma county, santa rosa right now, one of the coolest spots on the map, 49 degrees. but today is another day where away from the coast it is hot so temperatures will take off pretty quickly this morning. they rise rapidly through 11 a.m. and then into the afternoon. we're in the upper 90s to about 100 in our hottest spots inland around the bay shoreline. a big difference today compared to yesterday. we have all this sunshine early on in the morning, so the warming process will be quicker than yesterday. we'll get into the upper 70s, lower 80s around the bay shoreline. even along the coast. it's a beautiful day along the coast, a mix of sun and clouds today and we'll have highs in the low and mid 60s. let's check in with amanda and see those drive times. >> hi drew. we're going to take you to concord where things are definitely slowing down. this is a two vehicle crash that has been moved out of the middle lane and is now on the shoulder

westbound for just before port chicago highway. you can see things again have slowed down. the backup is to bailey road. 34 minute delay is what you'll be facing there. and then i do want to take you to emeryville. of course. the headlights are heading west, a 36 minute drive from highway four to san francisco. and i'll leave you here with your drive times. that typical slowdown may be even slower this morning. 57 minutes from tracy to dublin, 16 minutes from dublin to mission boulevard south, and then another 16 minute drive to get you from 101 to cupertino. back to you at the desk. amanda >> thank you. 90 days to go and the stage is set today. vice president kamala harris and minnesota governor tim walz, head straight to the midwest as part of their blitz of battleground states. the trip kicked off last night in philadelphia when vice president harris officially announced walz as her running mate. >> since the day that i announced my candidacy, i set out to find a partner who can help build this brighter future. >> kamala harris is running as a san francisco liberal. she is governed as a san francisco liberal, and she's chosen a running mate who will be a san

francisco style liberal. >> as you just heard, republicans wasted no time going on the attack. that was j.d. vance, also in philly last night, trying to paint the democratic ticket as extreme. abc7 news reporter gloria rodriguez here in the studio this morning. gloria, the bay area mentioned by both campaigns yesterday, it was reggie. >> and it's very likely we're going to hear more about the bay area from both sides in the coming days and weeks. today, vice president harris and governor walz are scheduled to have rallies in wisconsin and michigan. and during the rally in philadelphia yesterday, walz touted vice president harris's accomplishments as san francisco district attorney and california attorney general. former bay area congresswoman jackie speier, who worked with walz in congress, talked about the vice president choosing walz, and he brings some midwestern charm. >> and i know midwestern charm because i'm married to one, and they are plain speaking. uh- modest. >> he's going to be labeled as a

california progressive in midwestern clothes. and he is. i mean, minnesota is basically the california of the midwest. it's very progressive. the recreational marijuana choice codified within the state laws. >> the trump campaign wasted no time making that comparison. that abc seven insider phil matier mentioned trying to paint the harris walz ticket as extreme. san francisco liberals walz ended his speech last night by going after donald trump and his running mate j.d. vance, saying that trump would take us backwards. the harris campaign says they've raised more than $20 million since walz was announced as her running mate. the vice president and walz will continue their battleground state blitz through saturday, and then the vice president heads to san francisco. and according to the examiner, she will attend a fundraiser hosted by her joint fundraising committee. that's on sunday live in the studio. gloria rodriguez, abc seven news. >> thank you, gloria, the chp is investigating after a car that had bullet holes caught on fire

on an east bay freeway. the video shows this car on fire. this is on northbound 880 in san leandro at the washington avenue offramp just before 8:00 last night. chp says the car was hit with bullets on the passenger side. now officers are trying to determine where and when that shooting happened. no one was hurt. >> now it's an interview. you'll see. only on seven. the family of an oakland man is shaken by a devastating shooting. 33 year old hua kuang was sleeping at home in east oakland when a bullet ripped through the wall and straight through his skull. that happened august 1st. kuang remains in critical condition at a local hospital. a family friend tells abc seven the family is afraid to even be at their home. they're trying to move out of oakland as soon as they can. in the meantime, she's calling on local leaders to step up. >> please do something to stop crimes. this is totally

unacceptable. they got to do something. the government, the mayor, the police. just it's just ridiculous. >> kuang is in the hospital for the foreseeable future. his sister says she worries about the financial impact on his wife and their children. in order to help alleviate some of the financial pressures, they have set up a gofundme. they're asking for the community's help. >> tensions are rising between the mayor of oakland and the city's police officers. amanda. the police union is now calling for the mayor to resign. >> kumasi. the oakland police officers association sent the mayor a four page letter calling for her resignation in the letter, the police union says her policies have made it harder for police to fight crime. they point to recent budget cycles from the mayor and city that have cut police staffing. >> when i came here as a young police officer, stop with the infighting. >> there is no reason for that. my door is open to anybody who wants to have a conversation with me. and at the end of the

day, what this is going to cause is more instability that we in the city of oakland cannot afford air. >> xiang tao responded to abc seven news yesterday, saying, this letter from the police union is a distraction >> now stop with the infighting. there is no reason for that. my door is open to anybody who wants to have a conversation with me. and at the end of the day, what this is going to cause is more instability that we in the city of oakland cannot afford. >> oakland is currently dealing with a $177 million deficit. mayor tao says she is focused on preventing severe cuts to police staffing while avoiding layoffs of other any city worker. back to you at the desk. >> thanks, amanda. in san francisco, police are calling it a game changer for fighting crime. >> new drones deployed by officers are leading to arrests and sfpd is looking to expand. but some are expressing concerns. this spring, voters gave police the power to use surveillance cameras and drones to chase suspects. police say they've now made three arrests,

with the help of drones, and the video is now part of prosecutors cases. >> we have a sense of urgency to make this a safe city and to do the things that the people in this city deserve. >> right now, the department says it only sends out a drone if it hears of a possible crime in progress. the department says it hopes to expand its use of drones, using them proactively in parts of the city with higher crime concerns. the electronic frontier foundation, which advocates for digital privacy rights, says the use of drones is alarming, is disturbing that sfpd hasn't publicly released its policy related to the drones. >> there is currently a california state law, ab 481, that is meant to dictate transparency. >> chief scott says sfpd is in compliance with state law. he says the department is only storing video of crimes and deleting all other video within 30 days. >> san francisco transit leaders have delayed a vote on expanding

a ban on right turns at red lights across the entire city. yesterday, the sfmta board of directors discussed whether a citywide ban was even needed or if the rule should be expanded just to areas where there are a lot of crashes. there was also a desire for more feedback from the community the city has already banned right turns on red lights at around 200 intersections downtown and in the tenderloin. the proposal will be back on the board's agenda early next month. >> take a look at the accuweather forecast. an update on tropical storm debby. it's a lot less organized right now than it was 24 hours ago, but it still is going to be a big rainmaker today. and tomorrow across south carolina and even parts of north carolina. so look at the latest track on debby. it is going to meander very slowly through south carolina, through tomorrow morning. that's why it's going to drop a lot of rain in about 24 hours, because it is a slow mover, but a big change to the forecast compared to yesterday. this storm is really

going to pick up speed as it interacts with a cold front by thursday night. and look at this friday morning, it's basically over the nation's capital. and then by friday night it's already into new england. so it will pick up steam by the end of the week. back here at home, we are finding clear skies from walnut creek. we do have mainly clear skies across the entire region. that's a big difference compared to yesterday where yesterday we were dealing with. that fog sums up here very shortly. at 619. it's a warm day. it's a sunny day. heat advisories are continuing for one more day in the south bay. this will last until 9 p.m. tonight. so just like yesterday, it will be a warm to hot day away from the coast. but cooler weather is going to move in here as we head towards the weekend. kumasi. we'll show you that coming up in just a few minutes. >> thank you drew. still to come, this year's emmy might be a family affair. the two co-hosts potentially tapped to emcee tv's biggest night. and you can now hail one of those waymo robo taxis outside the city of san francisco, where you will still not be able to go.

then, with just days before outside lands one of its biggest acts forced to cancel the apology issued

again. during a new hearing in washington. a man is at the live desk with this new insight. >> amanda kumasi crew members on that flight are revealing they thought passengers had been

sucked out of the plane. the captain wasn't even aware there was a hole in the plane until after landing. the captain said they knew something was wrong, but they had, quote, no idea if it was a hole, a window, or a main cabin door. transcripts from boeing employees questioned by investigators paint a hectic and disorganized picture of boeing and its supplier, spirit aerosystems. it describes planes on the factory floor with defects. >> one boeing employee, not a contractor, said planes come in up every day. planes come in, up every day. every day. meaning you're you were at the time receiving, quote unquote, up planes. >> boeing says it has made changes to boost safety, including a new design for the part that blew out on the alaska airlines flight. a final report on the door panel blowout could take up to 18 months. back to you, kumasi. >> thanks, amanda. this morning we are following the park fire closely changing weather conditions have intensified. the

fire grew 13,000 acres in just 24 hours. new evacuation orders were issued in tehama county yesterday. the park fire is the fourth largest wildfire in state history. it's burned more than 420,000 acres. containment is at 34%. crews from around the world are now on the front lines, including a tanker crew that flew all the way from australia to help out people on the peninsula. have a new way to get around this morning. waymo launched its driverless car service beyond san francisco yesterday. so now these robo taxis are carrying passengers in daly city, colma and broadmoor, a ten square mile expansion. waymo's have been on the roads there for testing since may. san mateo county supervisor david canepa, though, is concerned about the expansion. he has pushed for more local control over where these self-driving vehicles can go. canepa told us his office only found out about the peninsula service on monday, and he believes local governments and first responders

should have had more notice. >> let's not become the wild, wild west of autonomous vehicles where we have all these, autonomous vehicles and different companies, and we really can't manage the roadway. it's not fair. and it's not safe for the public. >> waymo's are not allowed on highways just yet, so you're not going to see any zipping down 101 or 280. and they are not allowed to go to sfo. >> father, son duo eugene and dan levy could make a return to tv next month, sources tell variety. the pair are in talks to host a 76th annual emmy awards. they've both hosted award shows before they start. they, of course, starred together, which a name? the name of the show we can't say on air, but you know what it is and won multiple awards during its six season run as we get one step closer to finding out who the emcees will be, don't forget the 76th annual emmy awards airs sunday, september 15th right here on abc. you'll be able to catch all the action right from

all know is very, very good for us to think about. next. president of the united states of america. >> my view on it is it just highlights how radical kamala harris is. >> whilst isn't exactly the extreme liberal some are trying to paint him as he's seen by many as a moderate democrat while in congress. he represented a rural conservative district for 12 years, and he won reelection in the same district. donald trump won by double digits. >> both parties have already brought up the bay area during this campaign, and many local politicians are reacting to the vice president's pick. abc seven news reporter gloria rodriguez joining us in the studio with more on that. good morning, gloria. >> good morning. kumasi minnesota governor tim walz hyped up vice president kamala harris as they appeared together in philadelphia last night with references back to her days as san francisco district attorney and california attorney general. and today, harris and walz are scheduled to have rallies in wisconsin and michigan continuing their tour of battleground states last night,

aftershock less than a minute later, and we've counted at least 25 aftershocks since. people as far south as l.a. felt that rattling, and many reported getting alerts on their phones through the state's earthquake early warning system. now, so far, there are no reports of any damage overnight, though chp did say a large boulder was blocking a lane along i-5 on the grapevine. now we know how to prepare for an earthquake. but are you ready to do that? do you have a kit? do you have a plan? are you informed? if you need help with any of that, you can go to abc7 news.com/prepared norcal in the south bay a driver hit and killed a 12 year old boy in one of san jose's major intersections. it happened yesterday afternoon at lee and camden avenues in the cambrian park neighborhood. that scooter that you see there was all that was left behind. police say the driver involved stayed at the scene and is cooperating with the investigation. this boy is

who asks for them. and just last month, the san francisco department of public health recommended wearing masks indoors as well. back to you at the desk. >> thanks, amanda. be careful where you park, because starting today in the east bay, ac transit is cracking down on drivers who are parking in bus lanes. 100 busses have been equipped with ai powered cameras that can detect when a car is illegally stopped or parked in a bus lane. the camera will record a ten second video clip and take a picture of the license plate. then that will be sent to a sheriff's deputy who will determine if the driver is in violation. ac transit will start to issue warnings today. it will continue for 60 days. then ticketing starts in october. the final b $110 a big bay area solar company, sunpower corp, has filed for bankruptcy. >> their shares in the stock market took a 34% plunge yesterday. sunpower said in court papers it carries about $2 billion in debt. the san jose based solar firm has been struggling for some time. experts say the company stopped

manufacturing a few years back, policy changes leading to fewer incentives to install solar panels also hurt the company. >> we've undermined incentives. it's not as economic for a roof for a ratepayer, in p-g-and-e's territory to put solar panels on the roof. it just doesn't pencil out all the time. and that has hit the rooftop solar industry pretty hard in the past two years. >> sunpower had to do layoffs, restate earnings, and default on a credit agreement. this year alone, it's replaced its ceo and restructured operations. >> uc berkeley is getting ready to unveil a brand new 14 story student housing tower. some say the dorm on oxford street is more like a luxury hotel. it's across from cal's main campus. this sleek and tall tower replaces a rent controlled apartment building, and it did cost some controversy over housing affordability. however, school officials say this residence hall is addressing the local housing crisis for students. >> we are in alignment with the
