quite the difference we saw yesterday when markets opened up. yesterday, stock also had their worst day since the beginning of the year as investors reacted to china imposing those new tariffs on u.s. imports, something i have been talking about at the live desk. you can see these are the numbers from yesterday. we are down 617 points on the dow and the nasdaq and s&p 500 also down quite significantly. so, a beg change as we look at those live numbers this morning. back to you, guy zbs i appreciate you tracking that back to our breaking news that big rig fire creating huge problems this morning in oakland. >> jobina fortson is stuck in the backup and jones us live with an update. >> reporter: good morning. we traveled about a half mile, maybe, in the last 15 minutes, so i will flip the camera around here so you can see what's going on, on 3580. we came off the mini maze here. everything is backed up. people are trying to push through different lanes, people

getting through quickly are folks on motorcycles here. we did see a tow truck weaveing in and out of traffic. i did here alexis say that a tow truck driver was on the way and stuck in traffic. we do not know for sure if that was the tow truck drive it appears so, because everyone was letting this man get through the crowd here. really backed up for anyone watching at home right now. avoid this if you can. take bart. any other alternative here. again that fire is out. if you see off to the right of the screen here, those flashing lights, that is the tow truck. so it's made a significant progress i should say because it was behind us when it got started here on the road. back out here live. we are not going anywhere any time soon so make sure to stay up to date with us on twitter. we will let you know when this all clears up, reporting live, jobina fortson, abc 7 news. >> we appreciate the update. thank you. going over to alexis to see how we are doing. >> we are not doing great.

as jobina told us. we are looking at sky 7 in the traffic center. i'm watching crews put down some type of absorbing agent there. it looks like maybe that was some of the substance that they used to tap out the fire that started with the tires. i think they almost contained it to the tires on that truck. there is some type of tow truck on the scene him i'm not sure if that's a big rig tow or if that is going to possibly carry some debris. but they have not started hooking it up yet. no traffic is anywhere close to that truck. they set up the detour prior to that location. so the actual truck fire was on the ramp from westbound 3580 to westbound 580 in the maze, they are forcing everyone off. will you have to go to emeryville toward berkeley. turn around there and head back towards the maze if that was your plan here this morning. so 880 much better, bart looking good as well, everybody else for the most part looking okay. i wanted to check some drive times. with reheavy tracy into dublin, one hour, 8 minutes.

dub will into mission boulevard in the yellow at 25 and northbound 101 to cupertino. you are in the yellow as well. let's check in with meteorologist mike nikko. i have a feeling we will have a lot of long drive times. >> a lot of accidents if people don't slow down and remember the drive and the rain, it is coming. hi, everybody, here's a look at our roof camera. may grey. you see the sea breeze on the ferry building blowing off towards the inland neighborhoods. stubborn grey, cooler tan average, zscattered like shower, storm door opens tonight. today, you iia towards fairfield, east bay valleys in the south bay, low- to mid-70s, otherwise, the rest of us in the 60s in half moon bay, tonight you see green showing up. that's the first shot of wet weather, temperatures mild under all that great. mainly mid- to upper-50s, cooler in the north bay, low- to mid-50s.
