the light poles around oakland's lake merritt are green and over 100 years old but unremarkable you'd never guess that they are actually a hot commodity for thieves and as cay fee nielsen reports they are so desperate for copper some thieves are actually digging them out of the ground and it's creating a big problem for the city. michael lives only a few blocks from lake merritt and works from home most of the time. which is why he comes down to the lake sometimes twice a day. >> sunshine a little bit of nature and then the people and i really like being around the people and makes me feel like just kind of part of the community. >> reporter: but recently he and others who regularly walk or run around the lake have noticed some of the light posts and string lights are missing. >> i think i would feel more comfortable if the lights were up and also my wife likes to run really early if the morning. generally more concerned about her. lighted spaces always seem safer. dark spaces just seem like places you can get away with stuff more. >> reporter: there are 126 lamp

latos fountain in san francisco on market street. city leaders as we see every year and those preserving the history of first responders are commemorating 118 years since the great earthquake here in san francisco. a wreath laid to honor the late senator dianne feinstein and those who died in the quake and also we're seeing one person being honored who was a famed florist here in the area. in about 15 minutes, there'll be a ceremony at 20th and church streets near dolores to paint a hydrant gold. it provided crucial water to put out the many fires during the destruction. it was a rough day on the trail for a pup in san francisco. who went over the side of a cliff and needed to be rescued. this happened last night at fort funston. the fire department says two dogs fell off the cliff. one of them got back up okay but the other dog a belgian malinois named otis needed rescue team to help. crews were able to get him into a special harness and then just as the sun was setting, they were able to hoist him up the side of the cliff there and
5:14 am
back to safety. thankfully, the dogs and the rescuers are all okay. and jess, you have another animal rescue overseas though. oh my gosh, nicole, check this out. it was a cat hanging on for dear life. it was clinging on to the car door during flash flooding in dubai. video shows police pulling up in a boat bringing the cat to safety. and dubai is in a clean-up mode right now after being hit by a rare torrential storm that usually -- usual hot and dry climate is the last place that you'd expect to see a storm like this. and you know what? sometimes in those climate zones things like that happen. it's always interesting watching monsoon season in areas like nevada and arizona where they are used to the dry active weather and then suddenly just like that, a couple of weeks of heavy rain really changes the forecast and that is stateside. to see videos like that it is wild and sad and we wish them the best. as they start to recover in that. now back here in the bay let's take a look at what's going on for us. we talked about this earlier but i want to dive into it one more time.
5:15 am
daytime highs heading into this afternoon are going to be sitting well above average. all throughout the bay. today is the day to get out there and get some freshish and find a new activity and maybe outside or if you want to just hunker down and relax, well, luckily we have some more dry and warm weather into the rest of this week too. just not nearly as much as today. what i mean by that is high pressure is sitting directly off the shoreline right now. chase if you don't mind zooming out a little bit going to kind of paint this picture for everybody. high pressure offshore. winds from the north all throughout bay area and to add to that that's the reason why the daytime highs today are once again sitting in the 80s in areas like antioch and livermore. with upper 60s close to san francisco. we still have that nice coastal breeze along half-moon bay and pacifica. giving us a little bit more mix of sun and clouds and to add to that low 60s in the forecast but let's head down into the santa clara valley real fast. this is the live look currently as we're waking up this morning and heading out the door. cool, mild, it will be a partly cloudy day as we kick off the day and we'll see more sunshine into this afternoon
5:16 am
with low 80s in the forecast near san jose and upper 70s near los gatos. now looking at the next seven days, there's some changes in the forecast for us. we actually have rain as we head into next week's forecast. but i really want to put some emphasis on sunday and monday. sunny skies around the corner for us and 70s in the forecast and that's the weather that we like. next wednesday, that's when we have some changes and i'll have more on that coming up in just a bit. for now g how are the roads looking out there? so far, so good, jess. we're actually holding pretty steady with not a lot of delays this morning. for anyone making that ride on especially the bay area bridges. live look here at bay bridge and so far, so good. no brake lights or issues and in fact, that ride as you work your way westbound coming out of the east bay over towards the span over here towards the bay bridge. it's actually pretty quiet this morning. so no delays easy commute and if you are getting up early you have plenty of time to navigate most of the freeways and bridges. that includes the ride across the san mateo bridge. where traffic is pretty light. we traveled right now heading over towards 101 and in the golden gate bridge, we're not seeing a lot of issues or delays. in fact, everything
5:17 am
pretty clear out of marin county heading into san francisco this morning. you can see across the span there, good news is not seeing a lot of fog or anything like that to slow you down either. now i want to talk about our travel times. checked in on 580 through the altamont pass. you do have a busy commute coming out of tracy. getting on to 580. travel times sitting at just about 40 minutes. but pretty normal on a thursday and everything else in the clear. reed? all right, thank you so much. coming up on "cbs mornings" watching your wallet and protecting you from thieves. stealing money directly from your bank account. anna warner investigates the millions of dollars stolen from people scammed. >> from being so frustrated and losing sleep, my life has just basically been destroyed from this. can't recover. $48,000 is a tough nut to recover from. >> that would hurt anybody. we're lucky enough to have anna live with us this morning. take us from the beginning. how does this happen and what happens? >> reporter: so itically
5:18 am
happens is you get a text or a phone call that purports to be from your bank is says perhaps, hey did you make a $75 transaction in las vegas this morning? and you say no. you didn't. your phone rings and they're talking to you and they say okay i need to verify your identity to make sure it's you. you get a text message from the bank. a sting of four to six numbers and the person on the phone says read the numbers back to me. what they're really doing is they need the codes or the information to wire transfer money out of your bank account to them. tens of thousands of dollars. that's how it starts. oftentimes these are repeated transactions as they basically con people into thinking that it's the bank calling them. it's the bank that you are talking to. eventually these victims find out it was not the bank. but at the end of the story here, most of them are not getting their money back. because federal laws are not strong enough on governing wire transfers. >> almost like the trojan horse of hey, we're here to protect
5:19 am
you. they're at gates of your bank account right? but they're really there to hurt you. so let's talk about the laws. what is happening where lawmakers are concerned to protect all of us? >> reporter: so you know, the complaints about wire transfer fraud have been rising over the past number of years and they've really gone up a lot. because the scammers have discovered it's a great way to steal money from people. and the victims don't have enough protections. so now the senate banking committee in a letter we obtained exclusively is asking the four major banks t biggest banks in the country, what are they doing to try to stop these scams? how many people, how many other customers have reported being victims and how much money has been lost? these are figures that we really have not seen for specifically the four top banks before. so it will be interesting to see when the banks provide that information to the banking committee and basically the senators are saying, look, we need to make people whole and we can't just have a lot of people who lose
5:20 am
their life savings and they have no recourse then. banks have said almost, we're not responsible for covering these losses. because you the consumer provided information. but you were conned. you know, consumer is saying oftentimes i was conned into provoiding the information. i'm a victim. now the senators are speaking up and saying okay. we really need to look at this. ask a lot of hard questions and see whether something in the law can be changed. >> as you amplify the message, certainly senators and their constituents are listening. see the full national report at 7:00 right here on kpix. well, time right now 5:19. it will feel weird at first not seeing tara vanderveer on the sidelines but kate paye is ready to take over at stanford. here's a live look outside on the thursday morning before we head to break. this is our camera that is situated on treasure island. it's one of my favorite views as it says good morning to us broadcasting live for all of you on what makes to be a gorgeous thursday. we'll be right back.
5:21 am
we're looking for adults 45 and under to be in our hpv vaccination ad. sound like you? nah...not me. in a relationship. if you're sexually active and unvaccinated, it could still be you. i'm too old if you're under 45, you're not. for most people, hpv clears on its own. but for those who don't clear the virus, it can cause certain cancers. wow... gardasil 9 is a vaccine given to adults through age 45 that can help protect against certain hpv-related cervical, vaginal, vulvar, anal, and certain head and neck cancers, such as throat and back of mouth cancers, and genital warts. gardasil 9 doesn't protect everyone and doesn't treat cancer or hpv infection.
5:22 am
these diseases may have many causes. your doctor may recommend screening for certain hpv-related cancers. routine cervical cancer screenings are still needed. you shouldn't get gardasil 9 if you're allergic to the vaccine, its ingredients, or yeast. tell your doctor if you have a weakened immune system, are pregnant, or plan to be. the most common side effects include injection site reactions, headache, fever, nausea, dizziness, tiredness, diarrhea, abdominal pain, and sore throat. fainting can also happen. help protect yourself against certain hpv-related cancers. talk to a doctor or pharmacist today. if you feel like things don't add up right now... you're not alone. rent is up, and every family outing costs an arm and a leg. well, we want to help. so when prices go up, we find new ways to go low. and now, we've lowered the price on hundreds of your favorite products. designing something beautiful is easy.
5:23 am
designing something beautiful with great quality for a low price? that's a different story. it's why we're here. that's a promise. not a promo. now to a big story in the basketball world this morning. toronto raptors' center porter is now banned for life from the nba. this, after reports he bet on nba games and an investigation found that porter also gave insider information to gamblers. limited his

5:27 am
pfizer's pneumococcal pneumonia vaccine. so am i. because i'm at risk for pneumococcal pneumonia. come on. i already got a pneumonia vaccine, but i'm asking about the added protection of prevnar 20®. if you're 19 or older with certain chronic conditions like asthma, diabetes, copd, or heart disease, or are 65 or older, you are at increased risk for pneumococcal pneumonia. prevnar 20® is approved in adults to help prevent infections from 20 strains of the bacteria that cause pneumococcal pneumonia. in just one dose. don't get prevnar 20® if you've had a severe allergic reaction to the vaccine or its ingredients. adults with weakened immune systems may have a lower response to the vaccine. the most common side effects were pain and swelling at the injection site, muscle pain, fatigue, headache, and joint pain. i want to be able to keep my plans. i don't want to risk ending up in the hospital with pneumococcal pneumonia. that's why i chose prevnar 20®. ask your doctor or pharmacist about the pfizer vaccine for pneumococcal pneumonia. teens have drama. ask your doctor or pharmacist about the pfizer vaccine one more minute!

and right now on cbs news bay area at 5:28. 118 years later we remember san francisco's 1906 earthquake. that 7.9 quake caused lots of devastation and more than 3,000 people were killed. now this morning, city leaders and first responders held a commemoration event at lotta's fountain on market street. residents use the place as the meeting point in the aftermath of the quake. a wreath was laid in the spot dedicated to the memory of the late senator dianne feinstein and those who died in the devastation. now following the ceremony, there were still be a procession and the gold painted fire hydrant on 20th and church streets near dolores park. it will be repainted gold. that was reportedly one of the few

that still supplied water at the time to fight the fires after the quake. and on this day, a reflection, we want to know that many volunteers work very hard -- we do know that lot of volunteers work hard to put together this commemoration and honor those who have contributed to the preserving of that history. shawn chitnis has some historic photos that can help us appreciate that time in san francisco. >> reporter: scenes from more than a century ago offer a snapshot into the destruction that consumed san francisco in 1906. from a major earthquake and the fire that started soon after. >> i'm born and raised near san francisco. and i love our first responders and i love our history of san francisco. and this was a great way for me to contribute back to the city and keep the history of our first responders all the different departments, alive. >> reporter: david cruz is with the guardians of the city. an organization that preserves the history of first responders in san francisco. >> remembering our history,
5:31 am
remembering the survivors, remembering those who perished, is an incredible way for us to remember who we are as a city, how resilient we are as a city, as we continue to move forward today. >> reporter: and as events this week mark 118 years since the 1906 earthquake and fire, reminders of the impact on the city can be found everywhere. including the san francisco elk club lodge number 3. it was destroyed in 1906 and rebuilt at the location it stands in today. a place at the time to help house survivors. this week, it hosts ceremonies to honor those who helped to protect pieces of that history. [ bell dinging ] and even welcomes artifacts that remain a part of the collection. these events help david to remember the 1989 loma prieta earthquake which has a lasting impacten him. >> i lived here and i was a young child and it was a scary moment for me. and that's what i think about if -- when the next one hits, what our community is going to look
5:32 am
like. the type of support that they're going to need and how we're going to continue to rebuild san francisco. >> reporter: the ruins of the city captured in photos like these serve as a window into the tragedy at the time. but volunteers like david with the guardians hope history provides just as powerful a visual for all of us to be prepared in the future. >> all right. changing gears now. heading into our forecast this morning, it is still another warm day and just aid of us but for now as we wake up it's off to a cool start. clear skies over the santa clara valley and later today if you live over san jose or los gatos. a repeat of yesterday. more upper 70s and low 80s throughout the santa clara valley. in the east bay we go, antioch and livermore good examples of above average temperatures to. a warm day for used today. high pressure just off shower and giving us dry weather all throughout the week's forecast and temperatures remaining just a little bit above average too with 70s up into wine country. and 70s all the way along our
5:33 am
peninsula close to redwood city too. let's pick on san jose again for the next couple of days we'll see a little bit of a dip in temperatures not by much. by monday next week it's still dry and it's still warm and then a cold front returns into the bay area by late next week. bringing in some showers. potentially by wednesday. and that's the big reason why as we take a look at the weather headlines, areas like the bay, or along the coastline at least, we're still seeing a little bit of the patchy fog this morning. as we wake up. it will start to clear up into this afternoon and we'll just see some passing clouds into the thursday and friday forecast. and then daytime highs are going to stay above average even as we head into next week. now as we head into late next week, i'm going to show you the long-range models coming up in just a bit. there's a chance of showers but that's not until wednesday. and it looks like in the north bay first. for on that coming up in a bit. for now over to you, g. let's talk about the roadways right now as you grab the coffee and get out the door. you are good to go, we're seeing a lot of nice conditions for our thursday morning commute. or as i like to say friday eve yes, the weekend is almost here my friends and so far, so good on the 880 ride you just saw there in oakland.
