fault that these wildfires start. >> reporter: mike tony of the utility form network says pg&e wants consumers to pay for the utility's negligence. >> any wildfires that's caused by negligence of pg&e should never be paid by customers. should always be paid for shareholders. >> reporter: this comes one day after u.s. district court judge william alsa proposed new orders to prevent any more wildfires caused by pg&e equipment, saying they should reinspect all of the electrical grid and remove trees that could fall on to power lines and check weakened or damaged equipment, and shall rate each segment safety during the 2019 wildfire season and thereafter, pg&e may supply electricity only through the parts of the electrical grid it has been determined to be safe under the wind conditions then prevailing. >> the decision shows he was unhappy with the work the puc is doing and unhappy with pg&e, and he is not willing to wait nor

take any chances. >> state senator jerry hill's district includes san bruno where the pipeline explosion destroyed a neighborhood and killed eight people. a jury found pg&e guilty of six felonies, safety violations, and obstructing the violation. in his proposed order juvenile alsup accuses the utility of violating its probation by not informing of investigations they faced for the north bay firestorms. >> i think it's an extraordinary step. i think under most cases where someone has been found guilty, especially in this case of six felonies in federal court and they violate probation, generally they wind up in prison. >> a spokesman for pg&e declined an i on-camera interview but provided a statement saying we are committed to complying with all rules and regulations while working with our state and community partners and across all sectors and disciplines to develop comprehensive long-term safety solutions for the future.

judge alsup is very clear in his filings. his aim is to reduce wildfires calls to pg&e to zero. he has set a hearing on this proposed order for later this month. of course we'll be there. >> thank you, dan. two passengers got hauled off a plane in handcuffs after the pilot called the sheriff's office on them at the oakland airport. the passengers had been stuck on a diverted plane for two and a half hours. >> what i really need is the police. >> you need the police. okay. we're going work that out. >> and hitch that can tell them that we cannot open the door because a federal agent threatening us. >> deputies detained two people from aeromexico flight 661 from guadalajara. another passenger needed medical attention. in air traffic audio revealed by abc 7 news, the captain said passengers were threatening the flight crew. passengers describe an entirely different situation. >> there was no unruly passengers on there at all. if anything, the kids were super well-behaved. more well-behaved i would have

you go to the same park, everything will be the same, just different signs. they'll have more money. >> staggering amount of money spent on these naming rights. incredible. thanks, larry. well, a nightmare commute home from lake tahoe has inspired a challenge. >> we have traveled a total of 13 miles in seven hours. >> 13 miles in seven hours. that's abc 7 news reporter melanie woodrow last sunday. it took her 12 hours to get back to the bay area. >> it got us wondering. is there an easier way to get to lake tahoe? that is a question we hope to answer tomorrow. melanie is going to try flying to reno and taking a shuttle to lake tahoe. one of our video journalists will drive the truck. >> it starts abc 7 mornings and ends at midday live at 11:00 a.m. follow us on air and online to see the result of whose trip is faster and cheaper. that should be a lot of fun. really interesting. >> but you also have to factor the time, you have to get to the airport early. >> for security. >> what if there is fog like

today? getting out of the airport. >> it could get complicated. >> all right. spencer christian is tracking the forecast. that will be key in this test tomorrow. >> that is true. let me show you how quickly i can get from here to my next location. >> time him! >> here we go. here's a look at live doppler 7. the fog has pretty much gone, but clouds are coming back in. some high clouds. and we're going to have more fog tonight. it will be just about as dense and widespread. here is a live view from our exploratorium camera, looking at part of the skyline of san francisco, under partly cloudy skies. temperatures range from 53 to 55 degrees in most of these locations. san francisco, oakland, mountain view, san jose and morgan hill. 50, a little cooler at half moon bay. here is the view from our emeryville camera. a beautiful view there. other temperature readings in the low 50s. santa rosa, napa, petaluma, fairfield, concord and livermore. from the rooftop, book locking

back towards the bay bridge. areas of dense fog. showers arrive in the north bay and then spreading later in the day to other regions. and this wet pattern that starts tomorrow will continue through next week. the approaching storm ranks 1 on the storm impact scale, a storm of light intensity expected to produce under half an inch of rain for most of the bay area. it will continue early saturday morning. we'll see higher rainfall totals in the hills, and wind will be gusty 40, 45 miles per hour at times. the forecast animation starting at 9:00 tomorrow morning shows at that point there will probably already be a few showers just pushing onshore in the north bay. and later in the day, we'll see for widespread showers starting to hit other areas of the by area. the morning commute will not be problem matt. >> the at least in terms of weather, except for dense fog reducing visibility. but in terms of rainfall, it won't be problematic until later in the day. the evening commute will probably prove challenging because of wet pavemen and continuing showers that will go

overnight into early saturday morning. then by 8:00, maybe 9:00 saturday morning, the rain should be just about over. there will be some wet spots left behind. we project the rainfall totals from tomorrow's storm will generally be under half an inch by 9:00 saturday morning. in fact, it looks like most locations from this projection will have under a quarter of an inch of rainfall. so this will truly be a light storm. overnight, look for the development of areas of dense fog, especially in the north bay, over in the delta, the carquinez strait. highs tomorrow mainly near 60. here is the accuweather seven-day forecast. and notice that each of the seven days we expect some periods of rain or showers. but looks like the more vigorous storms will be on tuesday and thursday as we have wet and windy gusty conditions on those two days. we've got quite a string of wet weather coming our way. >> yeah. >> deal with it. >> kbrin and bear it. that's right.

as many of us return unwanted gifts after the holidays, a san francisco woman tells her story of a return that went extremely wrong. >> boy, it really did. the retailer refunded her money, but she still couldn't get it back. and 7 on your side's michael finney jumped in to help out. >> where is my money? that was the basic question. now, when you return an item, a retailer will usually refund your money to the original form of payment. however, when our viewer returned a defective toilet, she said it seemed like her money was flushed away. >> i love that this story centers on a toilet bowl. >> but she says the story would be funny if it wasn't so frustrating. >> it felt for a while like my money was being flushed down the toilet. >> humor helped, but she says getting her money would have been better. >> i had no recourse. i wasn't going to see my $500.

>> the story began when her old total fell through the floor of her tiny bathroom. >> that was quite shocking. >> but she bought a new toilet at home depot, but then this. >> i opened up the box, and there was a huge crack down the side of the toilet bowl. >> home depot asked if it was really serious. >> and i thought well, it holds water. >> she returned the cracked toilet, and home depot refunded the money back to her paypal account. however, the refund never showed up. >> i contacted paypal, and they said there's nothing we can do about it. >> home depot verified the refund did go back to her account. paypal said file a claim. >> oh, it's easy. you go on to your paypal account and there's a tab there. >> she found no such thing. after weeks of back and forth, she says paypal refused to give her that refund, saying the amount didn't match the purchase price. >> i don't understand. this makes no sense. what about my money? this is my hard earned money, right? and you're telling me it just can't be refunded?

>> she contacted 7 on your side. we contacted paypal, and the company sent her this apology letter saying there was a problem with the refund process being used, and we were able to correct the issue. your money was returned. and bashir got it back. >> i am absolutely convinced i would have never seen this money again if 7 on your side had not gotten involved. so i'm just exceedingly grateful. >> now we asked paypal for a statement for this report. the company did not address that refund problem saying only the customer should contact the retailers to get a refund, which of course is what she did. now i want to hear from you. my 7 on your side hotline is open weekdays from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. the telephone number is 415-954-8151. you can also reach me on my facebook page and through abc7news.com. i think we've done a refund about everything now. >> thanks, michael. >> sure.

the most serious side effects are angioedema, low blood pressure, kidney problems, or high blood potassium. ask your doctor about entresto. yeah! now abc 7 sports with larry beil. >> good evening. who's ready to boogie? the warriors are. today at warriors headquarters, we learned the big man may be back even sooner than anticipated. the warriors circled the january 18th game against the clippers on the schedule for cousins' return, but coach steve kerr said today the game against the pelicans at oracle arena two nights earlier, that is also a potential option. boogie played for the pels last year and that's where he tore his achilles. you know he would like to come back against them because they didn't resign him. when boogie does return to the court, he is starting. already fond memories of cousins. >> one of the fond memories i

have of demarcus when he played in sacramento, i got kicked out of a game there. i was going berserk. and when the ref kicked me out, i was at half-court being restrained by mike brown. i locked eyes with demarcus, and he is giving me the -- >> of course we remember that. we actually won that game. but it just shows he's out there battling for his players. in the past i've played for coaches -- i won't even speak on that. anyway. >> steve kerr. he went ts that night. the young handsome offensive gurus are the rage in the nfl now, but the broncos went the opposite direction, introducing 60-year-old vic fangio as their new head coach. fangio was the defensive coordinator for the 49ers under jim harbaugh. it was his strong defense that helped lead that team to three straight nfc championships and a super bowl appearance. look at that face. you see the intensity right there. he was with the bears this last season. they were third in total d.

fangio brings a tough, no nonsense mind-set to the broncos. >> we're not going to cut any corners, okay. i'm a fundamental coach. i think the game of the nfl, everybody thinks has changed. and it's a high-scoring league, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera. but fundamentals is still what wins in this league. and i'm going to stress those. we're not going to cut any corners. there will be no death by inches. we're going stress fundamentals. >> and you're going to like it! the rest of the afc west plays in the divisional round on saturday. chargers visit the patriots. upset special! the chiefs will host the colts. kansas city hasn't won a home play-off game since joe montana was their quarterback in 1994. beat the steelers at arrowhead 25 years ago. patrick mahomes wasn't even born then. he is the nfl mvp front-runner. he has been waiting all of his 23 years for this moment. >> for me, it's my first

play-off game. i'm excited to be here. when you grow up, you want to go play games like this. when you get older, you want to be a professional athlete and win on the biggest stage. for me, it's about going out there. like i said, be myself, lean on my teammates and try to go out and win a big football game. >> he's got a big arm. the rams were off last weekend, but this saturday they'll face a tough cowboys team peaking at the right time. they won eight of their last nine including a win over the seahawks in the play-off round. they will get todd gurley back. he has missed the last two games with a knee injury. jared goff will play in just his second play-off game. says he's not nervous. >> i'm sure you have butterflies early on, but i would say i wasn't nervous. i was excited. i feel the same this year. excited to get out there, especially after a week off, you get the feeling going again. it seems like forever since we played and we're excited to go. some baseball news. the mets have signed jed lowry. it's a two-year contract worth

$20 million. despite turning 35 in april, lowrie hit 23 homers, 99 runs batted in. expect to see time at first and third base after the mets brought in robinson canoe. they're not going to suffer death by inches. you make a little mistake and it all adds up. >> thanks, larry. join us tonight at 9:00 on kofy. president trump says he will almost definitely declare a national emergency. how money intended for california disaster relief may be used to build the wall. that's at 9:00. on abc 7 news at 11:00, turning off the tap. how your favorite craft beer or wine could be impactd by the shutdown. coming up, it's modern family followed by the goldbergs at 8:30. at 9:00, it's the two-hour special, truth and lies: monica and bill. and then stay with us for abc 7 news at 11. >> that will do it for this edition of abc 7 news. look for breaking news any time
