risk is exactly why we decided to do an event this week of major proportions. what is the biggest cause of fire risk from equipment like ours in these conditions? what does that risk look like? by far the biggest risk of our equipment is vegetation contacting distribution lines which causes an ignition, causes a spark and can lead to a fire. so did we experience that risk during this psp event? yes, we did. the winds we experienced like the winds happening in southern california with such speed that blew branches and trees into our power lines bringing about this risk of ignition. if those lines had an energized we had the potential for numerous conditions but those lines were not energized. we have a few pictures here of

some of the damage we had. i don't know how to advance my own slides. sorry. >> there we go. >> this is the kind of thing i'm talking about this is a tree line that's blown into the line. you have a spark and potential ignition of a wildfire.wildfire >> this is another example of the same thing. wire down from a tree blowing over. i have a few more pictures and will tell you a little more about this. so each of these is the potential to cause a significant fire. it was an extremely difficult decision for us to make. we know it would and did cause hardship for many of the people

we're privileged to serve, and it continues to cause hardship for some of those people who are still not -- who are still without power tonight. but given the choice we face, the choice between hardship and safety, we chose safety and safety will always be our first choice. as far as where we are tonight, life is returning to normal for many of our customers. we've been able to get the lights back on for hrundreds of thousands of customers in northern and central california. we're about 90% restored in the bay area and about 89% systemwide. and we expect to be about 98% complete by the close of business today. but we have a little more work to do and no one, including me, is going to rest easy until the last customer is restored. again, we'll give you a little more detail on that in a moment. before he, does i have a few other comments i'd like to make. for those who remain without power, i want to assure you that

we have an army of personnel working on this. inspecting our lines and re-energizing them. 6300 men and women in the field and supporting them. we've got to make sure those lines are in good repair before we energize them. we have to make sure there are no tree limbs or other vegetation on them before we can energize them. our emergency operations center remains in full operating capacity. our website is functioning correctly and our customer call centers are operate with augmented staff with an average wait time of 30 seconds. i want to publicly thank all the teams for this difficult work under stressful circumstances. everyone here is focused on the same thing. getting customers restored as safely and as quickly at possible. i also want to make a few comments about how we can get better at this kind of event going forward starting with communication. this is the area where we were not adequately prepared for the

event. so we will work to reinforce our website and call centers to handle a much higher volume of traffic than we're able to in this event. here's our goal. to provide you with accurate, timely information about whether and when customers will be shut off. and i will say, if you are a customer who would potentially be affected, we will contact you directly. if we have your contact information, you will get a call, a text message and email. direct communication is best and preferred. if we don't yet have your contact information, no better time than right now to provide that to us. you can do that on pge.com or i'll even give you a phone number. 866-743-6589. let me also add this. public safety power shutoffs are driven by the weather and weather patterns which we know are dynamic. and so while our alerts to you

will indicate proximate timing, we will adjust that timing if the weather changes. we may narrow the scope as weather approaches with various adjustments to our grid. so all this is to say we ask for your patience and flexibility as we minimize impacts while prioritizing safety. let me also say a word about narrowing the scope of future events. we have and will continue to narrow the shutoffs using all the tools at our disposal, and we'll get better at that as will the tools. these tools include more weather stations so we have more precise local weather data. we now have more than 600 of those. we're also continuing to add sectionalizing devices on our system. these allow portions not affected by adverse weather to remain in service. and we have added about 200 of those in 2019 alone. and as a final point i'd like to speak to how we can help our

customers and others prepare better. we offer our customers a wealth of information on how to prepare themselves. we have a dedicated safety website, safetyactioncenter.pge.com. and more information is available at the takeaway is we urge everyone to have an emergency plan, to have an emergency kit, supplies of water, medication and nonperishable food. wildfire risk is real. earthquake risk is real. and, unfortunately, the potential for power shutoffs is real in california. in addition, we can and will get better at preparing with our state and local governments and agencies. they are instruental in helping these events proceed smoothly, and i want to thank them for all their support so far. as i said last night, the future of power shutoffs is not a

future i desire to live in, but it's a future we must be ready for given the conditions and risq risks we face. with that, i'll estimate to provide an operational briefing. sadik? >> thank you, bill. good evening and thank you for joining us again. i wanted to touch on a few additional items that bill highlighted. so as of 5:00 p.m. this evening, thanks to more than 6,300 employees and contractors, the army that bill spoke of has been engaged in supporting our line inspection work, safety inspection work, identifying the damage, doing the repairs and restorati

restoration. and as of 5:00 p.m., nearly 89% of the impacted customers have been restored. given that we're an hour from 5:00 p.m., that number is north of 90% because our teams are continuing to do the good work out there to continue to minimize the impact to our customers and our communities. an important note about our transmission lines, the higher voltage lines that carry power over long distances, we have completed all of the safety inspections for the transmission lines that were impacted as a result of this event. and they have all been successfully restored, which is a significant milestone that's -- we've worked very closely to ensure we continue to maintain system grid and system stability as part of the

restoration process. in regards to some of the specifics and the progress we've made in the various areas with the north valley and sierra foothills, 78% of our customers have been restored. in north bay, 93% of our customers have been restored. in the bay area, 96% of our customers have been restored. and within the current division and county, 82% of our customers have been restored. as of approximately 5:00 p.m., 84,000 of our customers remain without power. and as bill stated, we have a unwavering focus to ensure the safe restoration of all of our customers before any of us get some rest. there are a few factors that have contributed to the longer restoration time in some of our areas. for example, in the north valley and the sierra foothills, we

continue to see winds and experience winds as early as late this afternoon. we didn't get the all-clear to do safety inspectons until later this afternoon. and the same holds true for the southern part of our service territory in the kern area. also within the north valley, because of the number of helicopter patrols that can fly in those areas, we have 44 helicopters dispatched as a result of this and some of the rugged terrain that our teams are facing to do the safe inspections of the lines and do that's contributed to some of the delays in the areas that we've discussed. and we're going to continue to resume the work at daybreak in the morning. there's a lot of work that's going to happen tonight as well and throughout the night. the work that we can do in a safe manner so that we continue to minimize the impact. one of the other things that

bill had discussed and shared a few photos in regards to the damage that we have experienced and observed so far, one thing i would remind us of is that the safety inspections continue. so this is just a snapshot in time of the information that we have captured. we've identified nearly 30 areas of damage. two of those which bill shared with you. 21 instances in the east bay and the south bay. and what you see on the right-hand side of this slide is a map with a blue colored shading which were the areas that were impacted with the psps event and then the yellow tags which basically show the areas where we've identified the damage itself. a lot thif damaof the damage in vegetation down on the power lines or coming in contact with

the line itself. we really appreciate our customer and community's patience during this wind event and the subsequent inspections that we'reconducting. we fully understand the impact and the disruption to everyone. and we've made significant progress. but we have still more work to do. and we're going to continue to do that work until we get the final customer restored. so with that, i'll turn it back over to bill. >> before we get to your questions, i do have one other matter i'd like to address which is the story about a customer event held by a group of pg&e employees this week. entertaining a group of customers. it was insensitive. it was tone deaf. it was poor judgment given the timing of this. on the anniversary of the event

two years ago in the north bay. it was inappropriate. our focus needs to be on serving customers well, on making sure we're treating customers safely and doing things like psps events well. and so we need to bring our focus back to that. i've told these individuals how i feel about it. i've told everybody in the company, we will no longer be doing any events like this. i think it's really important to appreciate our customers. but here's a way we need to show that appreciation. we need to do things like have better responsiveness and get customers hooked up faster. we need to work on our cost structure so that we can take into account price. we need to be much better in many of the things we do with customers. that's the way you appreciate customers. part of what we need to do better is to communicate with

our customers during power shutoff events and other events. so i don't think you'll be writing any more stories about events like that. with that, i'll take your questions. my colleagues up here. >> we're going to get the microphone. we're going to take everybody's questions. we'll start with you, dan. >> i appreciate that. bill, if i could, senator jerry hill says that this really just shows yet another example how pg&e is out of touch. he says it's time for you to be broken up and not exist the way you will. what's your response to that? >> a general response is you heard what i thought about it. it was inappropriate, insensitive and i'm dedicated to make sure it never happens again. on the issue of breaking up pg&e, i think the scope and scale of the company is a great benefit to our customers. the scale economies of workforce and i think breaking it up only

make the service worse and prices higher. but that's an opinion. and i think eventually w get around to answering that more factually. >> the only follow-up is, who paid for the party? your press release said or your statement said it was shareholders. senator hill doubts that. he's saying it was probably rate payers. who paid for the party? >> so i have inquired about this directly, and i will make sure this is true. there's no rate payer money involved in this. this was paid by shareholder money. >> over here. >> jean ellie. you were asked abo reimbursing folks for losses. you said you hadn't considered it. you'd think about it. ask you again later. i'd like to ask you again. >> this is the question and answer portion of the pg&e news conference. you heard dan noyes asking about the fact that pg&e is coming under ne intense criticism for holding a party at a posh sonoma

county winery this week while the utility planned those massive blackouts. >> dan wanted to know who paid for that party for some top pg&e executives and some of their top clients. and you heard the ceo bill johnson saying emphatically it did not come from us, the customers, but that it came out of shareholders. so that will still be under a lot of criticism. such an insensitive thing to do when people were getting their power shut off and on the anniversary of the devastating north bay wildfires. >> dan noyes has the complete story on this. >> reporter: pg&e held a wine tasting outside hillsburg on monday and tuesday of this week for the utility's top natural gas customers. 60 people in all. a spokesperson told me the event was funded by shareholders, not with rate payer dollars. jerry hill is not so sure. >> on political events, their shareholders pay. if you are thanking your

customers, i'd think the rate payers would pay for that. >> reporter: san bruno, site of the horrific natural gas pipeline explosion in 2010. after the criminal conviction for safety violations and obstruction, hill said it looked like the utility's gas division was cleaning up its act. >> then we saw that they falsified over 100,000 records on their locate and dig reports. they've falsified. could have put lives at risk and then they do something silly and stupid like this. >> reporter: the timing of the party is getting the most criticism. it came on the same days the utility was planning blackouts of historic proportions and on the two-year anniversary of the wine country firestorm that killed dozens of people and destroyed thousands of homes. >> just infiriating. once again it shows the callous disregard to all of the folks that experience losses in the fires. >> reporter: susan goran lost her house in the 2017 wildfires. she went to pg&e headquarters in

san francisco this week demanding answers about the blackouts, and she's frustrated about the party. >> i would like to sentence them to monthly bus tours of all of the burn areas to see how we are not recovering. and i would invite them up to my fire burn lot without a house and feed them now my defrosted food from my freezer. >> reporter: pg&e released a statement today while the event was planned for about a year we sin veerly apologize for the incensensitivity of the timing event. moving forward, we will no longer hold these types of events. not enough for senator hill. >> the company is just too large, too out of touch with reality and with its constituents and with california. really, i believe, to exist anymore. i think we should do everything we can to find an alternative to pg&e. >> ask pg&e for a list of attendees, a copy of the invitation, even just the menu,

but they refused. dan noyes, abc 7 news. just because the lights are coming back on in contra costa doesn't make it any easier for small business owners. >> abc 7 news reporter leslie brinkley is live from downtown lafayette also with an update on a fire early thursday morning. leslie? >> reporter: that's right. i just confirmed with police a short while ago they've not ruled out arson in that fire. it's still part of their investigation. they verified that a witness did report to them that they saw a man videotaping a fire as it started at 1:00 a.m. and that they later saw that same man in sanders ranch area which was evacuated. again, all just part of their investigation. as for small businesses, they called the outage a trauma, a hardship. >> we all know the websites were down. i think that communication with

our communities is vital. >> communication we got from them was tentative. very iffy. and it really didn't -- we didn't know what will happen until it actually happened. >> 9:30 a.m., the lights came on in downtown orinda theater square. 11:00 a.m., power restored to this shopping center in lafayette. but this dry cleaners didn't have staff as they tried to reopen and the credit card reader wouldn't work so they let pople pick up their clothes telling them to come back and pay later. >> there may be power but it doesn't mean it's back to business as usual. >> well, not only is it not back to business as usual but people don't know there's power here yet. >> reporter: it was hit and miss for consumers. >> hard to find businesses open. >> the nail salon is closed because they didn't have power. so we couldn't get our nails done today. >> but you got lunch. >> a starbucks remains shut down despite the power being back on. so was the subway next door. they can't reopen until tomorrow. they had to throw out all of

their food and restock. >> we got lucky. we only lost about 20%, 25% of our inventory. we're very safe with it. but it looks like we'll be up and running by 3:00, which is cool. got the whole crew in the back wrking hard to get the restaurant ready. >> reporter: they just reopened. you have to remember a lot of these businesses were shut down. this was the third day they were shut down. and they're angry about the lost revenue. in lafayette, i'm leslie brinkley, abc 7 news. people are getting more and more frustrated with pg&e. without electricity in the north bay. the owner of santa rosa's oakmont village market restocked freezers with pints s and pintsf ice cream earlier today. he kept frozen products inside giant ice chests after his power went out on wednesday. many other items like produce, spoiled. he estimates he lost about $25,000 on account of pg&e. and his insurance won't cover it. >> for small retailers, that's a

big deal. for a large corporation, maybe not such a big deal. >> there should be much better solutions in strengthening and isolating the grid system to avoid the massive power shutdowns. >> and pg&e helicopters inspected the power line near highway 12 before turning the power back on. the family of a man who died 12 minutes after electricity was cut off to his home blames the planned outage for his death. >> the coroner says 67-year-old robert martis died from severe coronary artery disease and had a history of copd. >> officials did not corroborate what the family believes, at least not yet, that he died because his electrically powered oxygen machines turned off. >> report er giacomo luca has te story. >> reporter: she knew she might lose power this week but never thought it would mean also

losing her dad. >> he was just amazing. >> reporter: robert joseph martis suffered from copd, which makes breathing progressively worse. he died in the middle of the night when the power went out. >> this is his oxygen machine that he'd use during the day. he relied on breathing equipment around the clock. oxygen by day and a cpap machine at night. after he went to bed on tuesday, pg&e started shutting off power to massive portions of the state. including the house where robert was sleeping. they had a backup plan. it just wasn't quick enough. >> here's the generator that we've been using. and it just -- we plug it into the -- turn off the main and plug it in. and it will power the whole house. >> but this generator wasn't on? >> no. the power had just gone off. >> reporter: marie says the family was warned the shutoffs could happen but with a lack of specifics about when, they had to scramble when the lights

suddenly went out bat 3:30 in the morning. within minutes, his family says 67-year-old robert fell over trying to switch from his electric powered machine to his oxygen tank. >> he went down because of that. and so i'm saying, yes, it was because the power went out that my father is not standing here with me today. >> reporter: now they're calling for answers. pg&e says it has 30,000 customers who rely on power for medical reasons. robert's family hopes in the next shutdown, pg&e can do more to help them. >> i want to make sure that this never happens again to anybody. >> very sad. >> yeah. all right. by the way, if you want to continue to watch the pg&e news conference because officials are now answering questions from reporters, you can catch that on our website because we're our website because we're streaming it there li at at&t we believe in access.

our winds have died down. looks like we have a nice weekend for the blue angels show. >> fleet week. let's get to spencer christian for the latest on our forecast. >> we had a little preview of that today. skies clear. angels flying around. we'll see them tomorrw as well. live doppler 7. clear skies across the bay area right now. that pattern will continue into the weekend. this is a lovely view of the setting sun from our sutro tower

camera. 77 degrees in san franciso. oakland 74. 78 in redwood city. 74 in gilroy. 67 at pacifica. and here's a view, another view of the setting sun looking westward from emeryville. 76 at santa rosa. san rafael, 73. mid-70s, 75 in the mid-70s at petaluma and fairfield. concord 78 and livermore 74. and the view from mt. tam onto the bay which will be quite active this weekend. sunny skies tomorrow with mild to warm conditions all across the region. gradual cooling on sunday and further cooling with clouds coming into the picture next week. so we'll call that a more autumn-like pattern. you may have noticed a haze in the air. smoke from wildfires in the sierra has been moving into the bay area. having a minimal effect on our air quality. still good air quality in the north bay, south central bay and santa clara valley. air quality only moderate and

coast and central bay inland. to our preview of fleet week weather here in san francisco. fleet week weekend, i should say for tomorrow and sunday. mainly sunny skies. a few high clouds pass through on sunday. mild tomorrow with a high of 72 here in san francisco. just a little bit cooler on sunday. overnight lows in the mid to upper 40s with clear skies and chilly conditions in the north bay. highs in the south bay. low to mid-80s. upper 70s to near 80 on the peninsula and 70s in some coastal areas as well. 72 degrees in downtown san francisco will be the high tomorrow. low 80s in the north bay. east bay highs, upper 70s. inland east bay will have low 80s tomorrow. as we look ahead to sunday, you'll see that minor cooling beginning. highs in the east bay inland east bay sunday in the upper 70s. maybe 80 degrees. but generally upper 70s on sunday where tomorrow we might have low 80s. on monday, a little more cloud

cover. high clouds we're talking about here, not big rain clouds. highs will be mainly in the low to mid-70s inland on monday. and they'll be further cooling on tuesday. here's a look at the accuweather seven-day forecast. after a mild, almost warm weekend in some places tomorrow, mild on sunday, w see just a gradual cooldown going into next week. a few more clouds coming into the picture. it will look and feel more fall-like. and around the end of the week probably the coolest day next friday under partl cloudy skies. only about 72, 74 degrees. inland areas. only 78 around the bay. >> all right, thank you, spencer. happening now, we're monitoring several wildfires burning in southern california. one of which has already turned deadly. >> just a few of the fires burning right now across california. the saddle ridge fire in los angeles county has already ripped through more than 4,700 acres and killed at least one person. >> marci gonzalez has the story from porter ranch, one of the

hardest hit communities. >> reporter: massive fires tearing through southern california. several now burning out of control, destroying dozens of homes. >> my house, i can see where it was from here, and it's all gone. >> reporter: time lapse video shows flowers devouring this hillside. powerful santa ana winds with gusts up to 70 miles an hour spreading the flames quickly as families scramble to evacuate, facing a nightmare on the roads. >> the embers in the air above me. it's coming this way. we're going to get out. firefighters in los angeles county hosing flames, creeping towards this backyard. reinforcements moving in. >> here comes the helicopter. we've got a water drop on the way. >> reporter: officials say one man suffered a heart attack and died while trying to stop the fire from reaching his home. >> obviously, that's very tragic. >> reporter: in this community in riverside where more than 70 mobile homes were destroyed, police say an 89-year-old woman

was killed. the cause of that fire captured on a doorbell camera. garbage burning inside this truck, then dumped on a roadside and igniting. >> identified the cause, obviously, but we're still investigating whether or not there will be any type of criminal charges pending. >> reporter: and those strong winds blowing through the trees carrying burning embers and causing all of this destruction aren't letting up just yet. the national weather service has now extended the red flag warnings for some areas saying the fire danger could continue until tomorrow evening. marci gonzalez, abc news, porter ranch, california. pg&e learned a hard lesson about planning for heavy website traffic. its website crashed from the heavy volume of customers directed there to get power shutdown details. >> david louie talked to an internet knrt what went wrong. >> reporter: with as many as 800,000 customers expected to lose power, pg&e figured the

best way to xhocommunicate woule its website. that frustrated customers in san jose. >> i think it was like really bad because people wanted to know and prepare for it. >> reporter: yet that's how pg&e wanted to communicate directly to its customers. professor amad at san jose state, an expert on the internet and e-commerce, says it's a case of buying bandwidth from service providers to handle a huge volume of traffic. >> they have huge data centers. and you don't own the servers. you just have them in the cloud. it's technically speaking, the cloud. now you get what you pay for. if you pay for that band width, this is how many people it can experience every time people are going to go to your website. >> reporter: the problems persisted even when more bandwidth was added. >> we saw volume that we never expected to see hitter website when we noteified our customers. >> reporter: if anyone should understand the potential for a website to crash, it should be

pg&e. just like its overhead transmission lines, the internet and websites are subject to the same principles of supply, demand and overload. out of frustration, customers turned to social media to vent. sky wrote on twitter, it's a great sign for pg&e that their shutoff map is crashing. if they didn't plan for that, what else didn't they think of in this. the situation was compounded as people kept trying to load the website leading to overload. it's a problem retailers faced in the early days of black friday. in san jose, david louie, abc 7 news. people who identify themselves as having disabilities say pg&e forgot about them during the power shutoff. abc 7 news reporter melanie woodrow spoke with a woman who has spina bifida and uses a wheelchair to get around. >> i was born with my spinal cord on the outside of my body. >> reporter: jones' close

friends and roommate also has a disability. when jones heard their third floor apartment could be losing power along with the building's elevator, her roommate called pg&e. >> they kind of hemmed and hawed at her. they were like, well, uh, there might be this one place, but we're not really sure. >> reporter: the advice, stay with friends. >> unfortunately, the disabled community is not one people know about until you're involved in it. until you become paralyzed, have an accident or become elderly. so we're forgotten. which is unacceptable at this point. it's -- a life is a life. >> reporter: jones lost a friend who uses a wheelchair in a wildfire. >> it really does kind of scare me that that could be me next. >> reporter: she has this message for pg&e. >> plan better. do better. >> reporter: a pg&e spokesperson writes in an emailed statement to abc 7 news, we understand the hardship turning off the power for safety can be for customers. especially the customer with whom you spoke and all customers with similar circumstances. we don't take this action

lightly. the utility company says it does everything it cadependent on weather to alert customers in advance and the safety of its customers is its highest responsibility. melanie woodrow, abc 7 news. back in the bay area, it's a popular weekend for weddings and venues and caterers and florists are feeling the pressure to please following the outages. >> melanie also talked to those people. >> reporter: there was no way elaine bell catering company was going to let was going to leave any of their customers out. when the napa catering company lost power wednesday, they got moving, buying extra generators, lighting for the kitchen, even extra refrigerators. >> i told you we got dry ice. we have about 200 pounds in here. >> the company is catering 16 events this weekend, including several weddings. >> you can see we're packing up for a weekend parties.

>> reporter: for employees on board for the adventure, headlamps and all. >> we can build a kitchen anywhere. >> reporter: and they did. right outside. bell also already had a lot of equipment like this refrigerated truck, and these large food carriers. >> maybe we'll do it again next weekend. who knows. >> some businesses were spared. garaventis florist didn't lose power. that's a good thing. they have eight weddings this weekend. >> if we didn't have refrigeration, we'd be in a mess because corsages, boutonnieres, all the bouquets, they needed to go in refrigeration. >> reporter: they estimate $50,000 worth of wedding work that could have been spoiled. still no grudge work against pg&e. >> they did what they thought they needed to do. >> reporter: melanie woodrow, abc 7 news. you are still watching the pg&e press conference that continues with officials

answering questions. if you are interested in getting the details and hearing what they're talking about, go to the van gogh. to harrison, the wine collection. to craig, this rock. i leave these things to my heirs, all 39 million of you, on one condition. that you do everything to preserve and protect them. with love, california.

we have a very important recall to tell you about. >> hundreds of thousands of suvs have been recalled for potentially dangerous problems. michael finney has details. >> the suburu is recalling a bunch of forester suvs. heated seats have an electl connection which might come loose. the recall affects 2015 through 2018. it affects about 366,000 of the suvs. subaru says the loose connection could cause the air bag to deactivate. dealers will notify owners of faerktsed foresters. the problems will be fixed for free. so far there are no reports of injuries or incidents related to this potential problem. the tech industry's mass collection of our personal data appears to be backfiring.

technch says only 3% of consumers say they trust marketing and advertising. mistrust is highest among millennials. consumers are aware of huge data quantities being collected sometimes behind our backs. that incrucciveness is fueling a lot of this mistrust. consumers are expected to spend an eye-popping $1.69 trillion on tech this year. now that's according to the international data corporation's spending guide. that was just released today. that number is going to skyrocket to over $2 trillion by the year 2023. most of the items purchases are mobile phones and computers. you'd expect that. but they say other emerging technology like drones and smart home devices are expected to account for much more of that spending while we move forward. >> so millennials don't trust

marketers yet willingly give out their data all the time. >> thanks, michael. we want one last check on our weather because we're at the weekend. >> spencer christian with more on that. >> i'm smiling because we're expecting a sunny weekend. good viewing conditions for the blue angels. great weather for getting out and enjoying fleet week weekend. overnight, it's going to be chilly in some spots. especially in the north bay valleys. temperatures drop into the upper 30s to low 40s. here's a look tomorrow. low 70s on the coast. 72 in san francisco. low 80s inland. and as we look at the accuweather seven-day forecast, you see not much change on sunday. just a few degrees cooler and as we go into midweek next week, partly cloudy skies. more fall-like, but no sharp drop in temperatures. it's going to be nice and mild. >> thanks, spencer. where are those cookies? >> i was running late.

i didn't bring them. i'll get you those cookies. >> it's our hazing of the new on-air guy. >> it was only the second preseason game for the warriors. but stephon curry is showing signs an mvp-caliber season is in the mang. and why the 49ers hope

now sports from abc 7 news. >> welcome back. when the 49ers and rams meet sunday in l.a., it will be the

first time both teams have had winning records in a matchup since 1989. but the undefeated 49ers 'chances of victory took a big hit today when george kittle hurt his groin yesterday at practice. kittle is officially listed as questionable for the showdown in l.a. the niners' chances of moving to 5-0 for the first time since 1990 take a hit but head coach kyle shanahan says it's all part of the game. >> the first time i had to deal with injuries as a coordinator and stuff, you think that there's no chance but you start to realize the more you're in this league it happens all the time. you have to deal with it and that's why depth is so important. you're always working with guys, a practice squad, first guy on the roster, last guy on the roster because the true cliche you're always one play away from starting, it happens a lot. >> the rams are having injury issues of their own. all-world running back todd gurley is doubtful for sunday's

game against the 49ers because of a thigh bruise. missing a rivalry game is not even his biggest concern. gurley and some other rams players have been evacuated from their homes because of the wildfires in l.a. let's take a trip down memory lane. the year was 2016. stephen curry led the league with 30 points per game and shattered his own nba record. three years later, that steph may be back. curry was cooking in the second game at chase center. 40 points in just 25 minutes of work. we all know curry is a scoring machine. when durant and thompson were on the floor he had to take a step back at times. the league's first ever unanimous mvp no longer has to defer. expect more outbursts like this in the near future. >> coming into camp, i have the same mentality every time i set foot on the floor. doesn't mean i'm shooting every possession but playing my style of basketball and being aggressive and confident. hopefully that vibe is contagious. it's not really that different. it's just, if you have the ball

in your hands, you make the play. >> over the past few weeks we've taken you behind the scenes at chase center from tours to media day and hoop topia. what should you wear to the game? sports anchor chris alvarez got some ideas at the brand-new warriors shop. ♪ >> welcome to the brand-new warriors shop at the chase center. three stories of warriors heaven, right? let's look at it. >> one of the biggest things we've just want to put in is our new ball bin. >> do you have a favorite item in here? >> i actually do. >> okay. >> my favorite item will be on our brand-new, new era hat wall. >> what kind of hat guy? >> i can see you rocking the dad hat. i can see that. we'll go into our other section with the snap backs. we got the logo. you want the blue or black bill? >> i'm going with the black bill. >> there we go. it's a snap back.
