island. the earthquake did trigger a tsunami watch all the way down to san francisco. the department of tsunami management asked people in low-lying areas to prepare to evacuate. leanne is live in the marina district. >> reporter: a lot of people here in the san francisco bay area know what to do to prepare for an earthquake, they know what to do during and after a quake. but when it comes to a tsunami, not so much. this map shows the estimated time it would have taken a possible tsunami to get to the san francisco bay area, following the alaska earthquake, between four and five hours. the notifications of a tsunami watch came at 4:35 this morning. at 3:30, the department of emergency management sent out a tweet, if you are in san francisco and within three blocks of the pacific coast, prepare to evacuate so you are

ready if evacuation is needed. >> i saw it on my phone really quickly, but there was no concerns at all for me. >> reporter: perhaps because people haven't experienced a tsunami here, there seems to be little knowledge or concern. >> have you ever heard of a tsunami here in san francisco ever? maybe snow, but not a tsunami. so i didn't really believe it. >> a tsunami is something we consider a distant source tsunami, something coming from japan, something coming from alaska. >> reporter: people were concerned enough to ask emergency management why the sirens didn't go off in the emergency area district. if the alert was upgraded to an advisory or warning, and a tsunami was confirmed, then sirens become an option. even though what we experienced was only a tsunami watch, emergency management says aside from moving to higher ground, be

prepared, remember to pack a go bag with water, food and a first aid kit. in 2011, santa cruz saw tsunami waves destroy boats generated from a powerful earthquake in japan. so here's the latest from the emergency management website. tsunami watch remains cancelled, dangerous currents are no longer considered a threat to shoreline areas. i'm live in the marine district of san francisco, leanne melendez, abc7 news. >> be the first to know when breaking news happen 24/7, download the app for free and be sure to enable those push alerts. you may have been one of thousands of commuters delayed because of metering ramps that

were running way too slow during this morning's commute. a practical parking lot at the toll plaza in oakland just before 11:00 this morning. usually the morning backup is pretty clear by then, but certainly not today. the problem was because of a failure of a key piece of hardware in the metering light system. someone had to operate the lights manually until 9:00 a.m. when caltrans got the system back online. by then the damage to the commute was done. caltrans is about to start a project to replace the technology that runs those metering lights. the speed and poor visibility played in a chain reaction crash in sonoma. this happened this morning on highway 37 at lakeville highway where 13 to the 15 vehicles were involved in that accident. the chp says it all started with a three-car pileup.

means that somebody broke into your car. >> reporter: not so, according to the law. if your doors are locked and someone breaks in and steals something, that's felony auto burglary. if your doors are unlocked and someone steals something, that's simple misdemeanor theft. big difference. >> car burglary is a felony and it carries more significant consequences than a plain theft would. >> gascone wants the law changed. >> under the law that we're proposing, if you break the glass, even if your vehicle is unlocked, it would be a felony. >> and it's difficult proving in court that a car was locked under the existing law, a big reason most of the break ins occur in tourist areas like fisherman's wharf. >> we have to prove in order to have a car burglary, actually that the vehicle was locked. >> reporter: and that is

charging for prosecutors. tourists visit and leave. >> if the witness is gone and can't testify that the door was locked. >> reporter: that was senator scott wiener. there are of course other problems associated with catching these car thieves. for one, there are few arrests, most of which are successfully prosecuted, but police have their challenges too. san francisco's board of supervisors has voted to remain columbus day to indigenous people's day. the board voted for the change 10-1 this afternoon. the only one to oppose the measure, supporters say the city should not recognize a day named after an italian explorer who colonized lands belonging to native americans. eight monterrey beaches have reopened after a massive sewage spill over the weekend.

tesla autopilot car -- the driver says the car was on autopilot. despite how this looks, no one was injured. 10 days ago on the bay bridge, a suspected drunk driver passed out behind the wheel. the man tried to claim everything was fine because the tesla had been on autopilot. he was arrested. tesla owners we talked with say the high-tech feature should be used as a helper not as a replacement for the driver. >> i think that it provides better safety than driving alone, so it's kind of like my co-pilot. >> tesla upgraded it's autopilot technology after a deadly accident involving this driver in florida in 2016. federal investigators concluded that the system was partly to blame when it failed to spot a tractor trailer that had cut across the highway and sheered off the roof of a tesla. but also tesla was trying to sir

couple -- autopilot is intended for use only with a fully attentive driver. investigators will be focusing on both the vehicle and the driver's action in this latest crash. elon musk will continue to lead tesla for the next decade, but he will only get paid if the electric car maker keeps growing by leaps and bounds. right now the car maker is worth less than $60 billion, musk's all or nothing proposal requires that's the la reach $250 billion over the next ten years. if tesla reaches escalating goagoa goals musk will receive stock. we brought you the nominations for the 90th oscars live on abc7 mornings. there were some surprises and definitely some snubs this year.
