1:51 am
. that was really scary sight for people in southwest indiana today, a tornado touched down and tore through a city there. i just got missed by a -- [beep] -- guys. >> you can say that again. the remnants of hurricane beryl, downgraded to a post tropical storm, stirring up tornadoes and causing flooding. tonight, over a million people in houston are stuck without power in major heat after the hurricane slammed into texas on monday. it does not help that the outage map for one of the state's largest electric companies went down. a burger chain has been tracking outages by seeing which stores are still in the dark. that is
1:52 am
creative. that is a creative way. hurricanes have challenges when the power goes out, lasay tough one >> back here at home sara. we have an entirely separate challenge. there is summer, a great example that it is not just winter when we got to be really paying attention to the forecast. there are significant issues coming our way. we had a newscast part of this newscast earlier tonight where we were talking about over a dozen confirmed deaths in santa clara county from the heat so far. we got a little bit of a break over the course of the last 24 hours. but, we are going to take a look at the numbers over the next three days. today is the easy day. today is the day the temperatures went down. livermore, you can go to 100 for the inland valleys. this is the bottom, we got to move on. just to show you the progression, tomorrow, of course, heat advisory territory. we looked at it a moment ago. i will spend a little bit of time on wednesday's day time highs, pick out your part of the bay
1:53 am
on here, you can see the inland valleys are going back up into the 100s. higher on thursday, so, we will say good-bye to wednesday's numbers now. we will look at the peak. come over towards livermore. i got you going back up to 108. you have a heat advisory here. you can see the difference in number and why you get a different color scheme. excessive heat warnings, inland, heat advisory where i am standing. going down, 24, through the tunnel, you get towards oakland you are in a heat advisory. better. there are question marks over here. look at san francisco. day time high, in the 80s, half moon bay. you are not included in the heat advisory. you can see why. the depiction of the marine layer. looking at the thursday forecast here. you still have enough help from the
1:54 am
marine layer that the temperatures are staying pretty comfortable. look at half moon bay again and how it aligns, however, if the clouds, marine layer is not strong enough, if we get a bit of an off shore flow from the winds and degrades the influence you could see your temperature go up more. san francisco it is possible here for thursday. a little bit of a change in the breeze. closer to 90. you are going into the middle to upper 80s. another item back here. take a look at the number for antioch. that is the day time high on thursday. that is only half, really, of the story. it is a pretty big half of the story. pretty big number. i am going to switch the number. you would not think of morning lows as still being factored into an excessive heat warning but if you have been watching along on the forecast no surprise they are. look at the morning low, 72 is as cool as you are going to get. starting out there. not enough of a break in the
1:55 am
overnight hours, that is part of the challenge for why you have an excessive heat warning out there. it is because you don't, your body does not get a chance to recuperate. let's get into the seven-day forecast. good news on here. technically friday is still in the excessive heat warning, still a hot day inside of this tube here. it gets better. now, take a look back here. now we are out of it. sunday, monday, day time highs, inland valleys, back down into the 80s. feeling much better. we got to get over kind of a unpleasant hump in this road before we get to that big cool down for the weekend. just, start making plans, thursday, friday, take it easy on yourself. >> the farrlon islands are heavily protected and home to sea birds, but a mouse invasion is threatening them now that
1:56 am
took place decades ago. >> i always have to stop right here. i love this view so much. >> reporter: jerry has dedicated part of his life to studying and protecting the islands. every time he comes he soaks in the views and the habitat. >> that colony there is 20,000 birds. bigger one over here, though. >> reporter: remote islands are heavily protected by people like jerry and the u.s. fish and wildlife service. to get to the islands required being hoisted on the land by crane. largely untouched by humans, hosting just a few researchers throughout the year. several hundred years ago a european mice population jumped on the islands bypassing fisherman. that population exploded into an estimated 60,000 nonnative mice that the officials like jerry say pose a threat to the rare bird. >> the mice have an impact. islands like this that evolve
1:57 am
without, you know, predators in them and when you bring in things like a-rod ent like mice they can throw everything a bit out of balance. >> reporter: together, with conservation group the services propose a plan to eradicate the mice. when the population drops each fall a species of owl that migrates across the island and preys on the mice wind up preying on the birds and its chicks >> for this pop flation it does not get taken care of in the next 10 or 20 years this population will be at a point of jeopardy. >> reporter: the team plans to use a chemical, it poses a threat to some of the sea bird population but jerry says plans are in place to mitigate that risk. but, not everyone is on board with the idea of messing with that largely untouched echo system. senior fellow with the ocean foundation, he and a
1:58 am
group of conservationists argue they are too fragile and important to risk poisoning any population. >> so, we just feel it is the wrong tool, the wrong mechanism for one of the most sensitive environments on the planet. >> he supports a mice contraceptive that poses a lower risk to other species and be repeated until the mice population is wiped institute what is the hurry? in other words, if we have an alternative that is developed rapidly, being used successfully elsewhere, why take the risk with the national treasure? >> reporter: but for jerry he says the rodent is just too big of a risk. >> it is like the ground is moving with the mice. a sensitive place that we all care about really deeply and we want to make sure when this happens it is done right. >> it was expected to happen in
1:59 am

landmarks is in one of the bizarre legal battle. remember the flintstone house. you probably have seen it. stone age made headlines because it was supposed to open inside of the house come friday. it was advertised as a pop up restaurant offering a 15 course japanese tasting menu that was going for $230 bucks, reservations sold out in seconds, last week the city sent the owner a letter to shut it all down. the letter said that operating a restaurant is illegal in a residential zone. but the company says it say misunderstanding and they are a catering business classified as a restaurant. back in 2019 the town sued the owner over decorations installed at the same house. they ended up having to pay her $125,000 in a settlement. drama comes with this house. >> poor pebbles, poor bam-bam.
2:03 am
>> the whole bunch >> that is right. >> let's talk about sports. let's talk about the giants. >> you got to the way they have been playing. giants, blake returned to the mound. the giants were hoping he would return to cy young form. toronto bluejays were waiting. >> snell-zilla. >> indeed. winless over nine. the line tonight, struck out three, pitched five scoreless innings by far his best start of the season the first game for elliot since he was named an all-star on sunday, how did that go? a solo shot in the fourth. ramos has 13 home runs since he was called up may 8th. in line for the first win of the year. in the 7th. he gave up a 3-run homer. bluejays went ahead 3-1. san francisco trailed by a run going into the
2:04 am
9th. down to the last strike got through. patrick bailey, tying this game. the next batter, up, and trevor richards spiked the pitch into the dirt. fritzgerald scored. and on a wild pitch that is how the game was won. giants rallied 4-3. they won 9 of their last 14. oh, the attractions outside of boston's fenway park. that is where the a's show took place. the stage belonged to the red sox. bottom second, three-run smash. part of an 8-run sox inning. high scoring tonight as boston won it final of 12-9. you know, say what you want, for the giants, scrappy play has them in the mix with a record of 45 and 47 and very relevant in the wild card race. that is right, i am talking wild card in july. i would
2:05 am
rather be relevant than the alternative. >> yes. that is true. we have a lot of baseball to be played yet. >> thank you, vern. a lot of interesting things happen in the stands at baseball games, this hungry dog was the center of attention. you don't say, the dog with a guy dressed up wanted attention? wow! he was on the broadcast, chewing a hot dog aggressively. he did it in style because he was wearing this hat. yes. baseball hat. and a gold chain. and red sun glasses to top it off. >> style points >> very cute. all right, now for stylish dog to a lost dog that had the most unusual journey home ever.
2:06 am
2:07 am
2:08 am
. before we go tonight we have a story of a lost dog whose journey sounded like it came from a book. it started when her owners watched fireworks and a dog got scared . >> reporter: if one thing is clear, that the eight 8-month-old dog does not like fireworks. they had the dog with them. once the first firework went off she bolts, freaks out, jets off. so quickly i could not move in time, react in time.
2:09 am
>> reporter: lost, the couple was crushed. they searched the area most of the night and the whole next day but with no luck >> it crossed my mind she might not have made it, drowned, lost her, she might of died. >> but then, two days later, roger dunn was cruising in his canoe passed bair island. a large mud flap. >> as i looked across the channel on bair island i saw a dog running. did not think much about it for two seconds and then i saw a collar and a leash and thought something is not right. >> i am a foot from her in the water, she leaned in, sniffed me and then sat back and growled at me. i said we will sit here for a minute and did not take much more than a minute when she sniffed me again and got into the water.
2:10 am
>> roger still does not know who owned the dog so he took it to a vet's office to make contact. that is where he met watch dogs. with the dog clinging to her rescuer deniece began recording it on the phone as the message to kevin got through. >> i listened to roger's voicemail, i was just in tears. just, you know, it was just full of emotion. just leiloni is back. >> when kevin arrived the move changed quickly. >> that is how the island rescue made it on to social media. >> and little did i know it would go viral and then i put it on tiktok and he had, i think as of this morning over 40,000 views. >> reporter: on this day, the group got back together right where it started and with a lesson learned the hard way about dogs and fireworks. as for roger, he is a little surprised by all of the publicity. he says he is just a
