way down south. where you might get a glimpse in the bay area. plus, how a burglarly call led police to a major animal fighting operation. the disturbing things they found at a farm in the north bay. >> i went out every night and just went to every bar in every neighborhood. he left his job in biotech to pursue his passion, helping other people party. we introduce you to the man behind some of the bay area's most popular pub crawls. from kpix, this is the late news with sara donchey on cbs news bay area. hi, i'm sara donchey. there is a storm hitting right now. the biggest one we've seen in decades. but we're not talking about thunder, lightning, or wind. this is a severe geomagnetic storm that's slamming into the earth's upper atmosphere, and it can cause some disruptions in our lives, but can also create these beautiful scenes like these tonight over parts

of the u.s. paul heggen shows us how likely we are to see the northern lights in the bay area. >> a strong solar storm making it possible to see the aurora as far south as california. it's possible. it's not tremendously likely in our neck of the woods as the most likely scenario is that the visibility of the northern lights will be a little farther to the north. the official forecast from noaa shows the the red dividing line in southern oregon. that's where it's most likely to catch a glimpse on the horizon. but forecasting this is kind of tricky. it's possible it edges farther to the south. you want to get away from the city lights and take advantage of the solar storm that won't be as strong over the weekend producing that display of the northern lights. >> paul, thanks. it's pretty unusual to see the northern lights over the united states. so this is a rare treat. people from the east coast to the south and midwest have been posting videos and photos of

the display over their neighborhoods. these pictures were taken in maine and west virginia. but all that beauty is causing some potential issues, or it can, anyway. geamagnetic storms are known to mess with electronics on satellites which could cause radio outages and potentially issues with the power grid. it's unlikely to impact cell service. the power plant and satellite operators should take some precautions. the last time we saw a geomagnetic storm this powerful was in 2003. it took out power in parts of sweden and damaged transformers in south africa. to explain why this is happening in the first place, we bring you bill nye the science guy. >> humans >> humans see the south and north poles of the sun spin faster, and the outer layers of the sun create crazy strong

magnetic fields. and from time to time the charged particles get tossed into space. >> this hot pink aurora over new zealand is one of the most vibrant we've seen tonight. this is like christmas morning for professional and amateur astronomers, and pretty much anyone who loves looking up at the night sky. i sounded like this astronomer in england was about to jump out of his skin. >> oh my god, right? look at this! just look at it! the whole sky is literally on fire with aurora! look at it! my god, i've never seen anything. this is just so amazing. it's so clear with your eyes! goodness me! >> okay, nobody can accuse him of not being enthusiastic, okay? and in the past hour, people took these pictures over oklahoma. we've not seen reports of any impacts on communications in the u.s. as

of to want -- as of tonight as we said is a potential in this scenario, but the solar storm will continue through the weekend. we'll keep an eye on this and bring you any updates as we get them. in the north bay, police say they're investigating a burglary that led to a disturbing discovery at a farm and a bird fighting ring. police say they found these blades at the property that are meant to go on the beaks of birds during the fights. wow. police say this started in march when they looked into a burglary at a storage facility. officers say the evidence led them to a property on stony point road. that's where they found a thousand game birds and other fighting animals. two people were arrested. the animal shelter is caring for roosters, horses, and cows recovered from the property. luckily they're recovering well. president biden is on a west coast fund raising swing.

he landed in seattle earlier today after spending less than 24 hours in the bay area. he attended campaign fundraisers in palo alto and protesters took it as an opportunity to send a message. >> free palestine! >> dozens of pro-palestinian protesters chanted at his motorcade. there were also dualing protests near his palo alto fundraiser. >> we're here to send a message that we'll not be complicit with the genocide being committed. >> we're here, israeli and jewish americans that live in the bay area to stand by president biden for everything he's doing for helping israel post october 7 and beyond. we're asking him to do whatever it's possible, even if it's ending the war, to actually come and make a deal now. >> protesters say they're also trying to send a message to the

billionaires raising money for biden's campaign. no one wants to see their city become a dumping ground, so that's why an oakland man was so shocked seeing this, he said he had to start documenting it. da lin spoke to the man who took the video concerned about who could be behind it. >> reporter: a brazen act around 3:30 on tuesday afternoon. a witness says there were other cars and people in the parking lot. >> when he was looking all around, seeing if somebody was looking at him, that's when i decided to bring out my phone and record it and see if he was going to dump it. and sure enough, he opened up the doors, looked around, started dumping it, closed his doors and sped off. >> reporter: the witness wants to remain anonymous due to safety reasons. aside from the video, he shot pictures of the truck, including the license plate. the witness says he immediately reported the problem to 311. he was outraged

someone with a company truck would trash his city. >> going there as a kid to those fields and watching my friends, you know, and myself playing a little bit of soccer. i grew up here. i love my city. >> reporter: the truck has the logo of the galindo tree care based out of concord. the owner, jose, says he has nothing to do with this. in an e-mail response he wrote i rented my dumping truck this past tuesday. i didn't know the guy was dumping garbage everywhere. when i asked for a copy of the rental agreement, he could not immediately provide one. on the company website, nowhere does it say truck rental as part of the business. a man also called me to say he is the person seen here, and he rented the truck from galindo tree care. he said an oakland city worker told him to dump the debris in the parking lot. i asked him for a name and evidence. he didn't provide anything. >> i don't think that's true. i think he's lying to cover it up. i don't think a company with their logo, their license,

their contractor license, they wouldn't rent out a truck to anybody just because, you know, their insurance won't cover that person if he's in an accident or nothing. >> reporter: after we shared the video from the city on friday, an inspector came out to investigate. public works sent two trucks to remove the construction debris and a large pile of dirt. no interview, but the city says in 2023, they issued at least 400 citations to violators. the city provided this graphic showing in fiscal year 2021-2022, public works crews picked up 17,000 tons of trash. that's 34 million-pounds of trash. >> i feel bad, you know, that families, whole families coming here on sundays for the playing in the fields. >> reporter: many families park in the lot to either play soccer at oak part field or walk on the nearby trail. >> a lot of garbage ends up in the water. once it rains, it

ends up in the bay. >> reporter: the witness that shot the video is asking others to help keep oakland clean. >> take out your camera and just record them and report them. let's make our city look a little bit better. >> da tells us an investigator may reach out to galindo tree care to ask more questions. across the bay, night markets have been popping up all over the city of san francisco, and tonight was the return in the financial district. hundreds came out to enjoy live music, dancing, and food. a lot of food. >> reporter: organizers say about 10,000 people came down here for this event. they say that san francisco is missing a south asian event, so they put this on to fill the void. >> screw the lightbulb, pet the dog. that's how you do it. >> reporter: this is the chef and owner of new delhi restaurant, but here at the night market he's also a dancer. this is the second year

of the night market series, and he's been a part of it from the beginning. >> we collaborated from day one. >> reporter: he was one of the first vendors signed up to participate and actually helped form the idea with ceo and founder of the event katie burnbaum. >> san francisco has a huge south asian community, and actually the bay area has a huge south asian community, but we didn't have a celebration for that culture and community. it felt about time san francisco picked it up and created a beautiful celebration for the south asian community to celebrate. >> reporter: they attract people of all ages and different walks of life. even the mayor stopped by to get in on the dancing and music. but katie says the diversity of the food might be her favorite part. >> this is one of the best places to get tastings from

south asian vendors. >> we're passionate about this. >> reporter: he's so passionate he created a new dish for it. it's called a joy bomb, and he invited us to taste it. >> break it open to see the beautiful rice ball. >> reporter: it's a rice ball with spices and pickles coated in panko bread crumbs. >> one of a kind. >> reporter: he said he was inspired to create the joy bomb after seeing the happiness this event brought people last year, and it's special just for this event. >> i still don't have it on my menu in the restaurant. >> reporter: if you didn't manage to get down here for this event, don't worry, this is just the first one of the year. they'll have another one on july 12th. coming up, we introduce you to the bay area's bar crawl king. >> i went out every night and just went to every bar in every neighborhood. >> how he made the transition from a career in biotech to

planning some of the bay area's biggest parties. and a family of bears have made themselves so comfortable in one california couple's san francisco is known for its bar scene, and tonight we met the man known as the bar crawl king. he makes a living not only by bringing people together to party, but by

helping keep small businesses alive. as andrea nakano report, it all started with a very extreme career change. >> reporter: matt was about to go to med school. >> graduated college and moved to baltimore and i was working at the center for disease research at johns hopkins. basically it's dna testing. >> reporter: then he sent resumes resumes all over the world to explore life outside of pennsylvania. he ended up moving to san francisco for a biotech job. now talking about doing a 180, he's the top dog in the world of pub crawls in san francisco. before this career path, he had always taken side jobs like bar tending to try to make new friends outside of the biotech industry. the idea of a pub crawl business came to him after he went on one in washington dc. he admits, the first ten years were tough as

he tried to build his business crawl sf. >> i went out every night and just went to every bar in every neighborhood and talked to people. i must have looked kind of ridiculous. >> reporter: crawl sf is in its 20th year. he holds numerous events throughout the year, but the wildest pub crawls happen during celebrations such as st. patrick's day and halloween. he sells tickets to his pub crawls, and each customer gets a wristband that helps them get cheaper drinks at participating bars. >> halloween in 2022 was our largest event ever. as a matter of fact, we were actually talking to guiness book of world records. we didn't actually going through the whole process, it's a process to get them to come out and verify everything. but the world record was 4,800 something, and we had over 14,000 people. >> reporter: he built this family business from the ground up. his sister helps with planning and executing the events, and his wife handles a

lot of marketing. >> he has so many ideas and actually brings them to life, and it's been really, really cool. we've done a lot of very fun things together. >> reporter: and the family is growing. caitlin and matt are expecting their first child next month meaning more ideas have started to float around matt's head. >> to go along with the, with my child on the way is we're actually looking into the concept of doing kid crawls. obviously they won't be drinking. >> reporter: he's imagining a safe place for families to take their kids to celebrate days like halloween. this and biotech couldn't be more different, but matt is enjoying life being his own boss and doing something he loves. let's check out what you need to know heading into the weekend. a couple of days off for everybody. hot temperatures again inland saturday. moderate heat risk, though. not off the charts at all. the temperatures start to back down on sunday. it will still be warmer than

average inland, but closer to typical for may. along the coast and around the bay, temperatures back to almost exactly normal beginning on sunday. fog will be out there to start the day on saturday. spreading away from the coast through the golden gate and around the bay and also into the inland valleys of the north bay. but it's not lasting long. it should back out of the inland valleys by 9:00 to 10:00 at the latest. then the warm up is on. we start off with temperatures mostly in the 50s. some coolest spots could dip into the upper 40s, and temperatures will be at least a couple degrees above average on the cool end of the spectrum or 10 to 15 degrees above average inland. a mix of upper 80s and low 90s inland east bay. those are the hot spots on the map by saturday afternoon. only 64 along the coast at half moon bay. the on shore influence definitely returning throughout the weekend, and temperatures will be even cooler sunday. temperatures in the north bay also reaching into the 80s, but mostly low to mid-80s. that's the influence of the fog. even

a couple of hours of that in the morning means the sun's energy goes into dissipating the fog instead of warming up temperatures. looking at the ten-day temperature outlook for livermore. you can see the drop by sunday and monday, but temperatures will still be running several degrees above normal. then there's a baby warm up by the middle of next week before we coast back to near normal temperatures. but that's not until about nine or ten days from now. it's a long way down the line. what's not changing much at all, even with the up and down temperatures, is the pollen count. we're just locked into the medium-high category, and that's where we'll stay through most of next week. let's take a look at the seven-day forecast, which the coolest spots inland on monday will be in the upper 70s, and that's going to be about it for any kind of cool down. mostly hovering around 80 degrees after tomorrow. that's going to be the hottest day we see for awhile. around the bay, temperatures still warmer than normal saturday, then back to almost exactly average temperatures through the rest of the seven-day forecast.

upper 60s and low 70s kind of jumbled together with the fog doing its back and forth thing and keeping temperatures cool along the coast. especially sunday and monday. you'll see a bit more sun peeking through as we head through tuesday, wednesday, thursday, and friday of next week allowing temperatures to return to the low 60s. in the south bay, we went underground to show you a multibillion dollar project to prevent flooding. today len ramirez put his hard had the on and got a look inside a brand new tunnel at the anderson reservoir. >> reporter: despite all the rain we've had this year, the reservoir levels have had to be kept artificially low because the dam itself is not earthquake safe. but the new tunnel, this outlet tunnel they're building right underneath my feet is the first major milestone in the retrofit of the dam that will meet the water needs of santa clara county for many years to come. ryan mccarter is walking through a tunnel bored deep

into the side of a mountain at anderson reservoir. >> we're basically touching a reservoir with this tunnel, and we're below water. >> reporter: the tunnel is almost half a mile long and 200 feet below the anderson floor. it's part of a $2.3 billion project to retrofit santa clara county's largest reservoir to prevent flooding in wet years and survive a major earthquake. >> this is a spray apply concrete they shoot in. so we have eight inches of concrete and steel ribs every eight fight. >> reporter: this is the original base of the dam. the new tunnel will discharge 15 times more water. it's all designed to prevent the dam from spilling over. in 2017, torrents of water gushed over the spillway and led to major flooding along coyote creek and downtown san jose. >> if this project had been in place in 2017, we would not have seen the flooding we did

there. this project is so important and so big that it reaches all the way into al viso. >> reporter: it will also allow being management for wildlife habitats. completing the project in a year and a half is part of a major milestone. >> it's really fascinating to see something on paper that we've been planning and designing for so long and seeing it built. >> reporter: but completion of the entire project, including the rebuilding of the dam itself, is still some eight years away. some eight years away. john fisher might break ground on a stadium in las vegas. coming up in sports, the al west not impressive so far keeping the a's in striking distance. on friday, a dual with the team sitting in front of them. and the giants seemingly home sick after an atrocious road trip. could they

all right, i'm getting very distracted by reports of people seeing the northern lights over parts of the bay area which is really, really cool. my producer mentioned that it's going to be visible from around 11:00 to 2:00 will be the peak, so there's still time to convince you to go. but first sports. well, those are fun to look at. what's not fun to look at is the giants offense. offensive is the only way to describe it. it's a unit that's scored three runs or less 23 times this year, and like a home sick college kid i thought maybe a return home to oracle park would cure a rough

3 and 7 road trip. before they hosted the reds, dusty baker receiving baseball digest lifetime achievement award. first inning, steer with a hit, slater can't make the catch and slater left the game with concussion symptoms. here's one positive for san francisco's offense. bottom of the inning, estrada with his sixth home run of the year. jump to the eighth, it's 6-3t reds. one off the wall in left center kicks away from the outfielders who misplay it. fairchild turns on the blazes, trying to score on this, and beats the tag for an inside the park home run. cincinnati wins 4-2 and snap an eight-game losing streak. san francisco falls six games below 500. tough. all right, a's in seattle.

coaches and broadcasters spent yesterday's day off playing ping-pong. bottom four, mariners already are three runs. blackburn taken deep for a two-run shot. seattle cruised, and oakland has now lost five of the last six. some of the magic is fading. nba play offs, jokic and minnesota. jamal murray drives and scores, nuggets up 42-25. murray led denver with 24. how a 23 point lead in the fourth. jokic misses the runner, tips in his own miss. joker had 24. the nuggets blow out minnesota, and minnesota leads the series 2 to 1. in the east, haliburton and the pacers trying to avoid the 0-3 whole against the knicks. brunson hits from deep, ties

the game. back come the pacers. shot clock is winding. nimhard drills the deep three. haliburton can't believe it. two in less than a minute. that's how you know it's a good game. 111-106 the final. they cut the knicks series lead two games to one. speaking of the nba, unusual position for the warriors in may. they are a lottery team, and the lottery goes down sunday. the dubs have the worst percentage chance of getting the first overall pick at a whopping 0.7%. but to quote the great jim carrey, so you're telling me there's a chance. if they don't get a pick inside the top four, they lose their first rounder to portland. that would be tough because as we know with that roster, younger players are welcome. so all eyes on the lottery sunday. they have a 1% chance to get the fourth overall pick, so pretty low. >> younger players are welcome is a very diplomatic way of saying it. >> a try out for the team. i

might be too old for the warriors. >> i don't know about that. thanks, matt. every now and then we show you videos of a bear taking a dip in somebody's pool, but these bears are a couple that lives in so cal have many unplanned pool parties. their backyard has basically been taken over. the problem is the same family keeps showing up to swim there without permission, and there isn't much they can do to stop them. >> reporter: it's a bear pool party in a people pool, but the owners don't bear a grudge. >> definitely the bears swim in the pool three to five times a week.

>> reporter: a mama bear they call maddie and her two cubs are regular guests these days at the home of ricky martinez and bryan gordon in the foothills of los angeles county. >> they've killed unicorns, dinosaurs. >> reporter: like this inflatable unicorn. but after a young bear dragged it into the pool, well, this is how it ended. the bears have destroyed at least five or six floats, not to mention the pool lights they've chewed up. they've lifted and licked the frye and climbed the big tree. maddie has used it as a back scratcher. when a delivery of patio furniture arrived, one bear tried to open it. when the guys first moved in, they were a little nervous, but now. >> we love living with them. >> reporter: the humans can feel like they're the ones being observed in a zoo, especially when the bears get

right up against the glass. >> you can see how long their claws are. >> reporter: and then stand up like a person. the guests at this pool party have been known to not just play with the chlorinator, but to also run away with it. the guys opted for a bear inflatable to replace the unicorn, and if the bears eat their own, well, the owners plan to just grin and bear it. >> hmm. >> it would already be on zillow if i owned it. >> i know, that's the foothills, so parts of pasadena, monrovia, all those places see bears pretty often. it's just interesting to see them coming back to the pool over and over again. i would be out as well. >> they're cute until your dog's out there -- >> or until you're out there in between the mom and her babies
