the decision that he acted in self-defense has been controversial, to say the least. >> by the standards of andy lopez protest rallies, we have seen bigger and louder. this one outside the sonoma county of justice, a message to jill ravitch who decided not to file charges against eric gelhaus for shooting the boy. >> i feel the justice system needs to do its work. the only way it can do its work is by formally charging him with murder and allowing a jury of his peers to decide his culpability or not. >> in the deciding of her decision, ravitch cited many witnesses. one man was driving by, saw andy with an ak-47 toy and warned him a sheriff's car was coming. >> i told him to throw that thing away because the police was behind. >> did he pay attention to you? >> he don't pay no attention. >> moments later, he saw the

6400 acres since the fire broke out friday evening. crews report it's 55% contained. they had a tough time reaching the flames, too, because the fire has been burning along very steep hills, rugged terrain. fires do remain a big concern in the northern part of the state. and abc 7 news meteorologist sandy patel is outside san francisco with more on that. >> there's good reason why fire is a concern in northern california. let's take a look at live doppler 7 hd. thunderstorms have been developing in nevada, the sierra, and the thunderstorms have been pushing to the west a little bit. as you take a look, some of the moisture rotating northward could mean dry lightning and the potential for some fire. red-flag warning until 11:00 p.m. tonight. mt. shasta, alturra, but some areas are getting very heavy rain, drenching rain in reno and as a matter of fact, a flood advisory has been posted until 6:30 this evening.

it's 5.5% for whites. >> don't expect air fares to come down anytime soon, that if american airlines is correct. american airlines says demand is so high for flights that airlines could increase the number of flights, increase the number of seats, and still raise fa fares. in the past, airlines had to do just the opposite to artificially increase demand and then they could increase fares. the two international air carriers that disagree say the ready availability of international flights is already hurting their profits. residents of the united states are hanging up on their land line telephone service at an incredible pace. listen to this. federal researchers have found a number of people with wireless phones only and no land lines has doubled since 2010. back then, 20% of the united states was wireless only.

now that's up to 40%. ten years ago, it was just 5%. the center for disease control found the younger you are, the less likely you are to have a land line phone. i think here in the bay area, that's not necessarily true. my father dumped his land line. >> okay, michael, thank you. >> still have one. don't use it very often. well, a typhoon pounded the japanese province of okinawa with fierce winds and torrential rain. some gusts reached 120 miles per hour. the storm injured at least ten people. officials report one man is missing from a fishing boat in the ocean. nearly 600,000 people stayed home after being advised to evacuate. many american service members are assigned to oak anow waw. >> and sandy patel tracking that typhoon as well as our weather here. >> she joins us with the accuweather forecast. >> we're seeing the marine influence, but in the western

pacific, they're seeing more than a strong wind influence. take a look at the typhoon. it's heading toward mainland japan, the eye of the storm is just very, very clearly defined here. this is a typhoon in the western pacific, the equivalent of a hurricane in our area. it's a category 2 with winds of 110 miles an hour sustained, gusts to 130. it's moving to the north at 13 miles per hour, expected to weaken to a category 1 by tomorrow morning with 80-mile-per-hour winds and as you'll notice, it is going to cross mainland japan over the next couple of days. biggest threat with this is going to be very heavy rainfall. over 20 inches expected with strong winds continuing and of course, the storm surge flooding. here in the bay area as we check out live doppler 7 hd, our normal pattern is beginning to return. this morning, we still had all that monsoonal moisture, that muggy feel, a few sprinkles. all that has shifted out of the
