challenge. they have extremely hotht conditions and unfamiliar terrain. it is important to have aircraft fighting the fire but they cannot do that during the nighttime. they will have to wait for the sun. then we will have a better idea of where we stand this morning. >> hopefully the weather continues to be good for the firefighters. >> hundreds of people are anxiously waiting do see not home are safe as the wildfire approaches. our reporter spoke with evacuees in los gatos. >> santa cruz sheriff deputies warned people. >> a it feels like wind has shifted. that is what would personally make me nervous. that is what the sheriff said. it is shifting. >> it is coming. >> evacuation warnings have been handed out. a resident saw the loma fire at 3:30. >> huge mushroom crowd. it was daunting. and just watching it get bigger

and bigger. >> she is waiting to evacuate as are the neighbors. they are ready to leave at quick notice. >> jewelry passports documents. 300 people have been asked to evacuate in the santa cruz mountains. >> we recommend they leave their homes and we set up evacuation site. >> we were told it is blowing toward the ocean and could sweep up here. we are just waiting. >> in los gatos for abc7 news. >> for evacuees would want to get the large animals out of harm's way two haves been set up. can you take horses to santa cruz at the show groups or the santa cruz fair groups in watsonville. if you have other animals call ahead to see in they can take them. >> crews make quick work of a small fire in scots valley north of highway 17. it started at a home at 9:30 last night. it spread to nine acres before they were able to knock it down. firefighters are still working

to contain another major fire this morning in sonoma county, the sawmill fire has burned 1,500 acres east of cloverdale and 45% contained. we just checked. right now all evacuations have be lifted. >> weather will play a key role today as the crews are on the fire line. >> straight to our meteorologist, meteorologist mike nicco and what they are facing. >> great question. a great way to look at things is what happened during the overnight hours and what will continue to happen. to the graphics, it is cool in the valleys down 500'. on mountains at 2,500 feet it is 78 degrees, bone dry and 13% humidity. the winds are calm. right now. we will talk about the win winshe next 24 hours. they are going to be variable and 7 to 10 miles per hour and at 2,500'. but they will be light.

the temperatures are not so hot as yesterday 63 right new but the firefighters will be dealing with mid-to-upper 80s during the afternoon hours. we will see in it is affecting the roads. >> c.h.p. has road closures in affect and all local roads so looking at our traffic maps the area of the fire is between highway 17 and 152. there are three cut off points, at loma prieta and highland, close to each other and that is just to the east of 17. and we want the first responders able to do their jobs. if you do not have to be there stay away. we already have bart issues this morning. >> east bay couple is shaken this morning. they were unloading groceries when two men wearing makes attacked them. they shot and pistol-whipped these two. amy hollyfield is in orinda this morning.

amy? >> yes, reggie, we were surprised by the location. this is a deadend street. only one way in and one way out. the bad guys did get away. they did this after 9:00 last night. we are told by investigators that an elderly couple in their 70s went to the grocery store. they were possibly followed home from the store. @%-they wereconfrontedbytwo men@%-in halloween masks.@%-theman was pistol-whippedand@%-game over hiswallet and went@%-inside to call 9-1-1 and he@%-heardgunshots in the front of@%-hishome.@%-thewoman had beenshot in the@%-arm.@%-this is a couple in their 70s.@%-sheisgoing tobeokay.@%-theme n stole her purse.@%-they alsotookthatwallet.@%-they ran away.@%-they managed toslipout ofa@%-police perimeter set uparound@%-the areaatclaremont avenueand@%-california.@%-another thingabout the lotio^@%-it isa mileand

because she doesn't know that it kills 40,000 californians... every year. because she doesn't understand what cancer is. because she can't spell emphysema. because she is a butterfly, who fights fires. because she is my daughter and the surgeon general says that raising tobacco taxes... is a proven way to make sure she never smokes. that's why i'm voting yes on 56.

mom was diagnosed with alzheimer's at 58 years old. eight years into

the disease was when all the light went out. for me, it was heart-wrenching. look into the eyes of somebody with alzheimer's sometime, you just don't see -- the person's soul is, like, gone. bea: and it takes a toll on everyone. i mean, it's -- it's a depressing disease to watch unfold before your eyes. she actually thought those of us who were caring for her and who loved her most were her worst enemies. more and more responsibilities fell on my shoulders. lisa: this disease just ravages a family. it changes your life. the magnitude of it is indescribable. my mother taught me to be in the moment. we have to live in the moment with them. and i'm going to be with that person right now, in this moment, wherever she is. art: now is the moment. if we work together, we can stop this epidemic. grace: contact brightfocus and learn more.

>> we are getting word of a terrible ending to amber alert in indiana. now, jessica castro? >> good morning, the amber alert, unfortunately did not work fast enough. two kids found dead inside their own mother's car. it is making national headlines. police in indiana say a woman drove up to the police station and said there were two dead bodies in the car and that is when police found a seven-year-old girl and a six-year old boy. they had likely been kidnap by their mother. she new is being charged with murder. the story is just in to the live desk and i will keep tracking any breaking news and news story through the morning. back to you. >> thanks for the update the we have now stunning video released by police in houston, an officer beating a man early this month and this is the first look at

brutal beating that cost an officer his job and could land him in jail. some of could you find this graphic. you will see an officer repeatedly hitting a man who they say refused to leave a train station. the officer resigned yesterday morning after investigators found he used excessive force and recommended his termination. the victim had swollen arms and contusions. >> he knocked me to the ground. [ inaudible ] he knocked me to the ground and he...boom, boom, boom. >> the other officer seen in the video has been cleared and is now required to undergo more training. all the man who hit sacramento mayor johnson in the face with a my will throw a lawsuit at him. the 32-year-old thompson is expected to file the suit claiming battery and civil rights violation at the hand of the mayor according to his attorney. the action is after an incident on wednesday when thompson push a pie into johnson's face at a

charity dinner. johnson responded by hitting thompson and the mayor claimed self-defense. >> let's see what the weather forecast looks like, a day we are supposed to transition into cooler and fall lick temperatures. >> transition to cool temperatures more likely this weekend for those who live in san francisco. you are going to love this afternoon. compared to yesterday afternoon. here is a look from mount tamalpais can you see how clean air is right now but this is another "spare the air" day all of us are in the healthy category right new. as we get hot again today that unhealthy air will creep up into the nays inland east bay and the south bay and cool marine layer and patchy fog. can you see the high pressure is dominating our forecast with light and variable winds on live doppler hd. so we will talk temperatures, upper 80s in milpitas and sunnyvale and low-to-mid 90s for the south bay with san jose at 92 and up to 97 in gilroy and mid-to-upper 80s on the peninsula, the cool spot in millbrae at 81. low-to-mid 70s along the coast

to 80 in downtown san francisco and when we get beyond lunch temperatures are going to start falling in the areas as the sea breeze kicks in and it will be 20 degrees cooler this afternoon, and 15 degrees cooler this afternoon than yesterday afternoon. temperature is 88 in petaluma and san rafael, and napa at 91 in santa rosa and the east bay shore be we have 81 in richmond and oakland is 85 and the warm spot is fremont at 87 and inland 95 in san ramon, walnut creek and concord and 98 in livermore. lows tonight continue to cool off, and look at this low-to-mid 50s in many neighborhoods. my seven-day forecast is barely 90s holding on inland tomorrow and 70s around the bay and 60s at the coast and by the time we get to friday we are back to average and look at saturday sunday, and monday, temperatures continue to cool and a slight chance of rain on monday? that is seven days away. >> alexis? >> don't text me, looking forward to that. so far we are looking at a smooth commute on 101 traveling

through the san jose area right around 880 merge we have light volumes filling in ever-so-slightly and that is the case all across the board this morning. a lot of green on the traffic cameras and one exception and that is the tracy super commuter on westbound 205 to 580 it is filling in at 33 miles per hour as you can see. we will probably cut that in half in another 20 minutes. drive times 33 minutes tracy to dublin and southbound 680 dublin to mission boulevard, in problems 15 minutes and northbound 85, highway 101 to cupertino is 15 minutes. we will look at more at 5 o'clock a.m. >> after break the reason morning sickness and why you should look forward to it. >> a major company throwing in its hat to buy twitter in the techbytes blows during the presidential debate the >> at first debate was the most

tweeted debate ever. >> what moments got bit are going? third, the plans to defeat isis. trump's comments of releasing stop and frisk was second, and number one the most tweeted moment came when donald trump said he has a good democrat per met. >> and roku has a new streaming media player, and the top of the line model streams 4k and hdr video with usb port. >> don't tray this at home a video claim there is a hidden headphone jacket on the new iphone 7 but you have to drill a hole in the phone to find it the >> it is a rank and the damage is not covered by insurance. i miss that. >> t

our family was drifting apart... ...until we found a connection. you have the power to change your child's life. the boys town national hline can help. (tdd# 1-800-448-1433)

>> welcome back. morning sickness could be miserable for a mother but it could be a sign that the baby is normal. those who had vomiting were 50% to 75% less likely to experience loss. this is called the sign of a healthy presidency -- pregnancy. little is anyone about it. >> walt disney could put in a bid for twitter. it could seen like they do not mix, disney has a clean reputation and territory has become a haven for online

harassment. however, disney needs to secure their digital future and twitter would supply a strong distribution platform for video content. twitter has struggled to revive the flat lining music with sales force and google among the other reported names of people would want or companies that want to bay twitter. disney is our patient company -- parent company. >> uber announced 35,000 retail locations will sell gift cars including wal-mart and target and c.v.s., and they never expire but the gift cards are only good for rides. >> now, we will start with san francisco whether it is the destination or where you wake up, it is clear and 64 as we look from our camera. rockies are in town and the

giants, have to win them all. 66 at 7:15 and then the sea breeze and the clouds roll in at 58 and cooler by 10:00. we will look around today and you can watch the cloud cover fill in along the coast by 7:00 and then by 8:30 in the evening the clouds are rolling across san francisco and heading over toward oakland. then it will change. waking up to the cloud cover tomorrow. and san jose is an example today is 92, and tomorrow, 83, and average high of 79, and when we get beyond wednesday we will not be chose to that, we will possibly drop into the 60s for highs by monday. nearly a 25 degree spread. from today until then. we are following fire and the low-to-mid ma fire, and the air quality is the closest to the fire and the rest of us have a "spare the air" day and i will look at that when we come back next. here is our traffic. alexis? >> good morning, we are okay if you are in marin county and i watched the zipper trucks give

you more room on the southbound side of 101 across the golden gate bridge. we do not have any blocking incidents and a nice start in the south bay with no problems, all glean on the traffic flows through the entire san jose area and south of there too sometimes we have the early morning backup on northbound 101 between gilroy and morgan hill, and not seeing that today. we have c.h.p. closures due to the loma fire and we will talk about that later in the morning. bart is "spare the air" day as mike mentioned and we have trouble right off the top this morning, and some time of equipment problem with a train so there is a delay at north concord and martinez, causing 10 minutes delay. at 4:30. that is in the sfo and millbrae direction. so, we are looking at getting in touch with them to see how serious it is. we will look at the central valley commute coming up after 5:00 a.m. >> speaking of the commute, we have all been caught in bay area

traffic, idling away. and this is fascinating, rather thannist at the negative, maybe the cars could create energy. at least that is the idea behind the california energy commission $2 million investment. they are going to use the money to fund a study to see in electric crystals embedded in the pavement can produce electricity from the mechanical energy created by our cars. currently the energy is lost through vibration. i should note that technology has failed in tokyo israel and italy. we see in california is the charm. this video is probably a good reminder that do not film a bear. frank was filming a bear and the bear did not like being on camera and charged toward him. understandably. >> did he scare the bear? all the bear said this is not a tmz moment. the bear was not having it.

and, obviously ramos could not keep the camera on bear and that makes sense. so, we are pulling the video down. and ramos said the encounter was more startling than frightening but perhaps it was lesson learned that bears do not want to be on film. maybe the bear was saying shoot this in horizontal rather than vertical. >> and the wildfire is burning out of control in the santa cruz mountains and next, we have the evacuation orders in place and just how big that fire grew overnight and the vicious attack in orinda and an older couple was targeted as they walked into their home. >> this morning from the live desk new information on the massive world-wide samsung recall is it effective or not?

>> good morning, east bay let's get up and get going. this is abc7 morning. >> good morning to you at 5:00 a.m. on tuesday september 27. i am reggie aqui. >> at the morning after the debates. i am natasha zouves and jessica castro is here and alexis smith and meteorologist mike nicco hopefully a cool down. that
