1:13 am
locations with poor access and that allows those fires to get big before we can get stuff on them. kate: the battalion chief says marin county fire is monitoring the lightning by the minute. >> typically, we will get the wind with the lightning strikes and then we can have an abnormal amount of starts in one location which contacts our firefighters. kate: which makes it all the more important for residents to help out. if there is a serious fire, woody baker cohen hopes people will display evacuation signs on their home. >> we are trying to quickly evacuate people. if somebody has not evacuated, we know they have already evacuated and we don't need to spend time banging on the doors. kate: maggie mccann spent the evening testing her emergency radio network. she lives in upper lucas valley where a fire came very close to homes just last week. she helped this tribute the evacuation signs and says nine

1:16 am
vaccination requirements, because the move unconstitutional. people will now be faced with losing their job, their livelihood. >> employers who are willing to say i will hire someone regardless of their vaccination status and that's the kind of employer that a lot of these employees are looking for today. kate: new rules will impact federal workers, health care staff, and employers with 100 or more employees. >> as much as i think people should get vaccinated, as much as you want them to be vaccinated, you really have to think about what happens if the situation is turned and you suddenly have a leader you don't agree with and he starts mandating things you think are not appropriate? >> those rules are being developed by osha and are expected to carry a $14,000 fine per violation. in san jose, abc 7 news. dan: president biden wants to put an end to things like this. a couple was escorted off a

1:25 am
apocalypse novel coming to life. >> we are in the final days of the dinosaurs. wake up, people. wayne: it woke us up alright. a plague of wildfires across the state. heavy smoke loaned to the bay area by an offshore breeze and what caused those fires? do you remember the august lightning siege? tens of thousands of lightning strikes started an outbreak of fires and tonight, we face a similar threat as dry lightning moves into broad areas of california. >> if this was a normal rainy year, we would not be too concerned. it is just that we have such a parched landscape. that is the game changer. any lightning strike can start any fire very quickly. wayne: it took days for those sparks are smaller and weeks to put them out. this time, they would probably start faster, which leads to an obvious connection and question. could we see a repeat of one year ago today or is today's lightning forecast on this date
1:26 am
just a strange coincidence? >> something is going to happen or it is not. worrying about it will not make it not happen or make it happen. wayne: which sounds about right when talking about don yielding tonight. in san francisco, wayne freedman, abc 7 news. dan: boy, that was a strange day. strange night around here, too. take a look at the lightning from just over one hour ago. this is video from the community of winters and yolo county, 30 miles west of sacramento, several lightning strikes just one after the other and this was seen in so many parts of the bay area. fireworks. ama: is there anything over us now? i thought i heard some thunder but maybe it was a car. somebody is running or maybe a car passing by. there is no thunder over san francisco but we certainly have thunderstorms on live doppler 7 so i want to show it to you right now. it is still an active scene. the focus of the thunderstorms have been over the north bay.
