no one expected this turnout. not even the senator, bernie sanders, who thought he was addressing just a handful of nurses at the marriott hotel. he was invited to march with them to kaiser headquarters. >> i don't want any nurse in this country to be fearful about going forward and taking care of ebola patients, which means to say they need to have the best possible equipment. and that's what we're saying here today. >> kaiser said its hospitals are prepared to handle ebola patients, and have been training the emergency room staff. but kaiser nurses want the same protective gear and guidelines issued by the cdc. they are the first nurses union to include these demands in their contract negotiations. kaiser has still not responded. >> no. not so far. what we did is took other proposals off the table and said we just want to bargain on ebola. >> there have been no cases of ebola in california. still, nurses here say they are concerned.

biohazard suits and give them instructions on where to go. the ability and mobility are limited in those suits. people were stunned to see him. tracy kent tweeted, this still makes no sense. at the very least the supervisor should be wearing a suit or special head piece. medical professionals claim to be learning from mistakes, so what's to account for this? the concern is understandable. but abc's chief medical expert dr. richard besser said that man is safe given what we know about ebola and how it's spread. >> there are a number of things to be thankful about, about ebola. one is that it does not spread easily person to person. you need to have direct contact with the patient's body fluids to get this illness. >> there are simple but important things you can do to protect yourself from ebola. we've posted information from the cdc at abc7news.com. well, there will be no strike tomorrow affecting bus service between marin county and san francisco. the golden gate bridge district

putting in new windows just to save on your energy bills is not a good idea. >> it could lower your energy bills by as much as 15%. but you'll spend $10,000 to $20,000 buying and installing those new windows. it could be decades before you recoup those costs. >> reporter: the most popular styles are double hung encasement. "consumer reports" tested both types. in this lab testers can see how dozens of windows stand up to the elements like heavy wind-driven rain. each test is performed in different climates, mild 70 degrees, and then at 0 degrees farn hide. consumer reports foig found higher prices don't always guarantee better performance. the $190 window is one of the least expensive double hung windows and scored excellent for rain resistance in warmer temperatures. and if you prefer a casement style window, all four of the ones "consumer reports" tested earned excellent scores in the wind and rain tests.

the least expensive, this american craftsman by anderson 70 series, for $260 at home depot. "consumer reports" says you can keep replacement window costs down by skipping on the upgrades that don't affect performance. for example, this wood grill work looks nice. but can add $150 to the cost of each window. don't forget the state offers rebates for upgrading to energy efficient windows. this is what i've been telling people for years and years. if you're just doing it for energy savings, you might want to start with window coverings. you might want to try that. >> start there at least. >> yes. let's head outside. we want to know what the weather is for the game tonight. >> watching it closely. >> i am indeed. it's 63 right now in san francisco. just comfortable weather. and the temperature is going to drop down to the upper 50s. dry at least for the game. i know we need the rain.

7:00 a.m., could see a few light showers. by 11:00 a.m. it's all starting to move out of the picture. we are tracking that system for you. also tracking tropical storm ana in the central pacific. it is about 440 miles southeast of hilo, hawaii. it is expected to strengthen to a category 1 hurricane late friday night, into saturday morning, still passing south of the big island. big swells are expected to hit the islands. could cause some flooding. rain and wind may impact the rest of the island chain. if you're traveling there for the upcoming weekend, you might want to check with your carrier. lots of high clouds tomorrow morning. you'll see partly to mostly cloudy skies. a lot like today, mid-60s to the mid-70s. if i were you, just to be on the safe side, carry your umbrellas between tomorrow late afternoon going into saturday morning. some of you may need the umbrellas. but you may just be dodging a

few drops. dry the next of the weekend. monday afternoon and evening, that's it. 60s, 70s for our temperatures. what a disappointment, huh? i was expecting more than that. light rain if we get anything, dan and cheryl. >> thanks so much. you can see what's show up on live doppler hd at any time with the abc 7 news weather app, free on apple's app store and google apps. coming up, pope francis, and porsche join forces. the kangaroo that could not hop. plus -- >> new at 6:00, new technology from a bay area company that could silence an irritating and could silence an irritating and debilitating condition.

planet are shadowed from the sun and that turns them into cold traps. they use very low light levels from the crater walls. scientists say an ancestor of the kangaroo could not hop. instead it walked upright, one foot in front of the other just like a person. the fact that it was seven feet tall and weighed 500 pounds didn't help. the giant kangaroo also had the face of a rabbit 100,000 years ago. >> hoping it at least had a pouch. next, would you do this to a $50,000 rolls? >> next, why a southern california man decided to blow california man decided to blow this luxury car to smithereens.
