first delays, now no response and a website malfunction, frustrations over the edd escalate, a this is a no-nonsense message from three. small business insurance is usually so complicated, you need to be a lawyer to understand it. that's why three was created. it's a better kind of business insurance. it's only three pages. straightforward. if you own it, three covers it. got a cheese slice for "spokesperson?" that's me. i don't even need to see what's happening behind me to know it's covered. (screaming)

this commercial is now over. logo. three. no nonsense. just common sense. building a better bay area, moving forward finding solutions, this is abc7 news. signs of pandemic progress across the bay area today, a major vaccination site closing as churches, major hotels and other businesses open their doors for the first time in more than a year. good evening and thank you for joining us. i'm dion lim. you are watching abc7 news live here on abc7, hulu live and wherever you happen to stream. one milestone reopening today was at san francisco's grace cathedral which held its first in-person mass in 14 months. abc7 news reporter cornell barnard was there and found it was an emotional day for many. >> reporter: oregon

organ music echoed through the rafters, but this time people were there. regina walton was welcoming members back. in-person worship is back 14 months after grace was forced to close its doors due to the pandemic. we spoke with valerie crane dorfman in 2020 as she watched a live stream of grace's easter service from home. for her being back inside the cathedral was beyond spiritual. >> i'm excited. it's emotional. i'm close to tears. i feel the energy already and it's beautiful. >> you have kept each other and your neighbors safe. >> reporter: bishop marc andrus got emotional thanking members for staying home during the height of the pandemic. >> you have literally saved lives.

[ applause ] >> reporter: the service was live streamed for those still not comfortable about returning, but for those who are here face masks and social distancing required. you must make a reservation to attend services. only 200 people are allowed inside this cathedral which can normally seat 2,000. grace has now had to close its doors twice. the first was in 1918 during the spanish flu and twice they've reopened. >> it's a great celebration of the end of covid i think. >> i'm so glad that the suffering is beginning to, you know, come to a close and we can gather again. >> reporter: a homecoming on hill. in san francisco, cornell barnard, abc7 news. >> it's nice to see. tonight san francisco's largest hotel is counting down the days until its grand reopening. take a look. its windows were lit with the number one tonight after all pandemic long illuminating a

hundreds of lives. >> the site showed that large numbers of people can be vaccinated safely. the vaccination effort now shifts to schools, neighborhood centers and churches. we are keeping track of california's vaccination progress with our abc7 vaccine tracker. you can also find other places you can get vaccinated all at www.abc7news.com/vaccine. well, california is slowly recovering from the economic impacts of the pandemic, but for many families it is not fast enough. state data released friday shows the state created 38% of the nation's new jobs in april, but that is fewer jobs than in march and the unemployment rate remains at 8.3%. many of those employed californians are continuing to struggle with the state's unemployment agency. this week we received complaints about edd's website and call center going down. here's abc7 news reporter j.r. stone. >> some days i wait on hold for

like seven, eight hours. >> this is just not acceptable. >> i cry because i'm like why? why is it taking so long? >> reporter: everyone there referring to california's edd, the office that handles unemployment claims, the one that had more problems this weekend. >> we knew they were going to be down part of the day yesterday, but then apparently the website is still down today which was not part of the maintenance plan and we have not been able to get an answer from edd. >> reporter: our calls and emails weren't returned either. state senator scott weiner said some of his staff members have spent all of their time over the last year trying to help people get the money they deserve with the website giving problems and phone lines down at times this weekend according to the site. more than 200 people reached out to me on facebook. tommy schofield lost his events job early in the pandemic now saying he hasn't been paid for a month and before that he was getting less money than he was

supposed to get. maureen baughman said it's been 12 weeks with no payments for her. karen w ok lost her job earlier this year and said she hasn't been paid in a month and may not be able to afford her family's health insurance. >> you hear this talk around unemployment how people are staying on unemployment, making more money off of not working than they would be at work. well, i can't find a job. >> the governor has proposed a significant augmentation of resources for edd again so that they can hire more people, have improved customer service. >> reporter: but there's no telling how long that could take. edd recently said they're working to improve some of these issues. state senator weiner says the system's failure to help those like karen, tommy, maureen and so many others is a collective failure of state government today and yesterday. >> i'm just so profoundly sorry on behalf of the state of california that this failure has happened and we need to make sure it never happens

again because it is beyond unacceptable. >> reporter: j.r. stone, abc7 news. >> michael finney and our 7 on your side team have been tackling your unemployment issues since the start of the pandemic. we've gotten help and answers for several bay area residents and if you want to contact michael and his team, you can head to the website on your screen, www.abc7news.com/7onyourside. a helping hand in the north bay today for those struggling to pay their rent due to the pandemic. abc7 news was at the civic center in san rafael where people lined up for marin county's rental assistance apply-a-thon. the county has a total of about $22 million it can distribute, so if people don't meet the state or federal requirements, then the county can step in and provide aid. organizers say they are seeing all kinds of people. >> we are seeing all kinds of people who have been impacted from, you know, small business owners to low income renters and people who are working the

late may temperatures. tomorrow, though, you'll feel more warmer weather move in into the afternoon. tonight sutro tower, live look outside, a little fog on the bottom of your screen. our marine layer tonight will be compressed. we aren't expecting widespread fog first thing tomorrow morning, but we will have clouds clinging to the immediate coastline for much of the day monday. your pollen/uv index, tree pollen is coming down from high to medium levels. the bad news, grass pollen is on the rise from low to medium levels. so we're still in that allergy season where everything is kind of pollinating now. the uv index is running very high tomorrow afternoon. right now temperature-wise we're gradually settling into the 50s for the most part, 51 in the city, the same in santa rosa, 54 in oakland and san jose, 59 the current temperature in concord. it was breezy again earlier this afternoon, those winds gusting 20, 25 miles per hour. tonight they've really backed off and most spots reporting wind speeds less than 10 miles

per hour. here's live doppler 7 along with satellite, high pressure. we've got a ridge building in today and tomorrow as well. that will settle over us tuesday as well. the cloud cover gets compressed when we talk about high pressure. so future weather tomorrow morning 6 a.m. we have that cloud cover right along the immediate coastline over the city and just some patchy fog extending into the east bay first thing. the afternoon that fog pulls back to the coast, but we'll have some high thin cirrus clouds moving in from time to time. tomorrow afternoon we will call it filtered sunshine with that afternoon temperatures, a little bit above average for this time of year. overnight tonight we'll find lows mid-40s to lower 50s, not out of the question along the coast we could have a little drizzle first thing tomorrow morning. otherwise we'll see limited fog and gradual sunnier skies by afternoon. winds, though, they're staying with us. we've been in this pattern it feels like the entire month of may where it turns breezy in

the afternoon. that's not changing tomorrow either. winds in the afternoon gusting 20 to 30 miles per hour, even higher along the coastline. highs tomorrow in our microclimate starting in the south bay 76 san jose with filtered sunshine, 78 cupertino, 82 morgan hill. lawrence the peninsula 74 redwood city, 70 san mateo, 58 and breezy pacifica. downtown san francisco afternoon sunshine, 64, 60 the high in daly city. north bay will see afternoon sunshine, 77 petaluma, 79 sonoma, 78 san rafael, 82 in cloverdale, east bay tomorrow upper 60s to lower 70s, 70 oakland, 72 fremont and castro valley, inland upper 70s to mid- 80s, 80 walnut creek, 70 the high in pleasanton. here's the accuweather seven- day forecast, partly cloudy skies tomorrow, a slight dip in temperatures, dion, tuesday, right back up with warmer weather midweek and then we'll keep that breeze with us thursday and into friday and next weekend looks sunny, looks seasonable, not much in the way

of change the next seven days with temperatures mainly in the with temperatures mainly in the this is a no-nonsense message from three. small business insurance usually forces you to piece together multiple policies. that's why three was created. it's one policy that covers everything you need... leaving those old policies in the dust. three. no nonsense. just common sense.

sunday. so mickelson pulled ahead. the birdie on 10 gives him a four-stroke lead after koepka missed an easy par and the crowds grew and grew. look at this shot on 18. fans are fired up and then phil trying to get down there. excuse me, pardon me, i'm trying to get through and win a major here. a tap-in par. phil wins the pga championship by two strokes becoming the oldest major in pga history at nearly 51 years old. so is this a preview of what's to come or a crowning achievement? phil says we'll wait and see. >> it's very possible that this is the last tournament i ever win if i'm being realistic, but it's also very possible i may have had a bit of a break- through in some of my focus and maybe i go on a little bit of a run. i don't know. the point is that there's no reason why i or anybody else can't do it at a later age. it just takes a little bit more work. baseball now, going for the sweep in anaheim, former a's
