seen in my life, and there was embers and fireballs raining down. >> reporter: the glowing ball of red and orange billowing from the ice house apartments and town homes. it was under construction along grand avenue. there was a small fire here in april, but tuesday, it became the sixth major construction site in oakland to go up in flames since 2012. >> and we had our hoses on, and we were just praying that the embers wouldn't catch our houses on fire. >> reporter: he didn't lose his home. >> i thought i could seeeporter. >> i was using igt to sleep in, because i was homeless. >> reporter: as we looked at his totaled truck, only one thing came to mind as he thought about the fire. >> kind of fishy, you know, they go in these expensive buildings, people are homeless out here, it's no telling what somebody did. >> reporter: we do not know whether this fire was caused by an arsonist, but we do know that arsonists have been trying to burn down housing projects in

oakland. >> reporter: mayor libby schaaf calling it an attack on new housing. ice house consisted of 126 town homes, more than 52 units already sold at prices starting at $600,000. in daylight, drone view 7 shows us what's left. you can see the extent of the damage as fire crews continue to spray water on the charred ruins. the developer says they will be working with every family that purchased a unit there and for the parts of the complex that were not impacted by the fire, work will resume on monday. you're looking at the dangers oakland firefighters faced after flying embers ignited two homes several blocks from the burning apartment construction site. sky7 flew above isabella street moments after firefighters arrived this morning. neighbors describe the embers as raining down on them and as you heard from the gentleman a few moments ago, while they escaped their homes. today's fire on west grand avenue is the sixth major construction site in oakland to

burn in six years. in july of 2017, this seven-story apartment building on valdez street burned down. the cause of the fire was not determined but arson wasn't ruled out. twice in ten months, this development on the oakland emeryville border burned in july of 2016 and in may of 2017. the atf ruled both cases arson. about two years ago, on halloween, a five alarm fire woke people up near lake merit. the atf investigated but couldn't determine a cause for that fire. back in 2012, a construction site for a senior housing complex near the west oakland b.a.r.t. station burned down. it's confirmed that one was arson. it's happened again. another cracked window has appeared in san francisco's leaning and sinking millennium tower. building inspectors say that window washers first detected the crack two years ago. it's located between the 9th and the 10th floors above fremont street but the millennium tower's management team didn't tell city officials about this latest crack until yesterday. >> the actual report that they

gave the city yesterday says that they've known about this broken window for a few years. quote, unquote. which is even more disturbing. >> another window cracked on the 36th floor last month as we reported extensively. the millennium tower says it was caused by an impact like perhaps a bird strike and not by the building sinking or leaning. san francisco police have made an arrest in an assault that left an alameda man with a traumatic brain injury. 25-year-old jiacheng fang was arrested. he's facing two felony charges. take a look at surveillance video from last month's attack. chris mitsubisatthews was waitia ride share. a man police say is fang got out and punched matthews in the face, calling him to fall to the ground. abc7 news is cmittedo building a better bay area, which means we're investing re time into looking into issues

that affect our quality of life. for example, construction. small businesses along san francisco's van ness corridor are suffering because of a major city road project. abc7 news reporter kate larsen is there live to explain. >> reporter: well, dan, a lot of businesses are losing money because as you can see, they're very hard to spot behind these construction fences and then actually, in just the past few hours, sfmta shut down this southbound lane so they could work down the street even more. after three years in business, messiah says she's shaking off her losses and closing out for good at the bootleg bar and kitchen. >> fence went up in september of 2017, just a chain metal fence, and i was like, hm. >> reporter: over the past year, that fence has expanded into a full blown construction site, right in front of her bar on van ness avenue and green street. >> one day i showed up and there was no entrance to my store front so i said, well, we're closed today. maybe they'll fix it tomorrow.

the next day, we were open for business, it wasn't fixed. >> reporter: for nine months, she reached out to city hall and sf mta and was finally given this sign. >> this sign isn't going to keep your business afloat when you have no more parking spaces and nowhere for people to pull up and get delivery orders and there's rubble outside your door. >> reporter: the $360 million project is already two years behind schedule but mta spokesm spokesman paul rose says the agency is trying to help merchants. >> we put up promotional materials on our construction sites and fences to make sure people know the businesses are open. >> reporter: but a sign is clearly not keeping customers inside this family restaurant. he says they were unable to accommodate a large wedding party on tuesday. >> they come in, they're asking, where am i going t rk do you have valet? can i because construction. >> reporter: so, washe's reache

and mta many times including with this letter to mayor london breed and supervisors. i've read it. there seem to be 15 very common sense suggestions like pick up zones in front of the restaurants so they can, you know, have deliveries for people and a liaison at city hall to communicate with. she said she didn't get much of a response, so that on tuesday, the day before she's supposed to close up shop at her bar, she is holding a rally at 2:30 p.m. at city hall. live in san francisco, kate larsen, abc7 news. >> what a tough spot for those businesses. now, we hope you'll join this conversation about coming up with solutions to help the bay area's biggest problems. use #betterbayarea to share your ideas. together, we can make progress on building a better bay area. a family-run san francisco company dating back to 1899 has been sold. the mattress company makes hand crafted luxury mattresses at its factory on minnesota street.

hurricane willa, a category 3 storm, slammed into mexico's west central coast tonight. the national hurricane center says willa's winds reached 120 miles an hour. forecasters say the hurricane will create an extremely dangerous storm surge and dump life-threatening amounts of rain. this is video of huge waives in puerto vaillarta. a commercial filmmaker and diver was rescued by the coast guard after a shark bit him. he was diving about 30 miles off the san francisco coast when he was attacked. as abc7 news reporter david louis reports, he was then rushed to stanford medical center for treatment. >> reporter: ron elliot has always considered himself a lucky man because he's been diving, swimming among the sharks for over 30 years, always

without the protection of a cage but his luck changed today. sky7 was already here at stanford veteran diver arrived. he was bitten by a white shark on the right hand. elliot was air lifted by the coast guard after the shark encounter that happened at 11:00 this morning. you see his hand bandaged and elevated to reduce bleeding. he was able to walk on his own with someone at his side, an indication that he had enough strength to get medical care without using a gurney. now, ron elliot is well known for diving for sea urchin. marine biologists tell abc7 news that this is prime season for sharks with a population sma estimated at 100. elliot is featured in a film called "near miss" in which he talks about his love of diving with sharks and never being attacked. this time he was while he filmed under water. he was able to control the bleeding and was picked up by a boat that happened to be nearby. that boat took him closer to shore. the coast guard then transferred

him to stanford medical center, a process that took about 1 hour and 43 minutes. marine biologists do a lot of research out there, although i'm told they tend to stay aboard boats and don't dive into the ocean as ron elliot routinely did. now, elliot has been treated here at stanford medical center. he's being released. and he has declined to do any interviews. at stanford, david louie, abc7 news. >> thank goodness he's okay. look at this. just a gorgeous day and sunset around the bay area. take a look at the amazing sunset we saw from our east bay hills camera. >> let's get on to our meteorologist for a check on our weather. >> double the delight. i want to show you the time lapse after the sunsetg from ou came up and it is also known as the hunter's moon this month. typically,
