signature of a heat burst which is air sinking so rapidly it heats it dries and it clears everything out and it increases the winds. that is a rare phenomenon if that is what happened because that is what it looks like now. it is not 100 percent. that is my best guess. >> thank you. with the fourth of july around the corner, santa clara county is taking steps today to curb illegal fireworks which are a nuisance and a danger. our reporter is at the county building in san jose with what is being proposed. matt? >> yes, all fireworks are illegal in santa clara county including the safe and sane but for gilroy. but that is not stopping them from being set off all across the county but the new proposed ordinance would give law enforcement a new target. >> fireworks are the stars of fourth of july celebration. if santa clara county big communities sponsored evens bring out thousands but illegal fireworks are a big nuisance and danger.
