here with breaking news fire. barbara county, this is a still image taken just moments ago. just coming into the newsroom of what's being called the elisal fire highway 101 is shut down in both. elections near highway 1 and evacuation orders are in effect. again. this is in santa barbara county. it is windy in southern california as well as it is here, although spencer tells us not quite as windy as we are experiencing, but certainly the very dry conditions the low humidity and the wind effector in this fire in santa barbara county as well. we'll get a sense of how big this fire is and we'll let you know more just as soon as it comes in now in san jose as we come back to the bay area flames burned burned right up to some backyards. behind a blackened hillside cal fire brought in some aerial support with a helicopter doing some water drops. this fire started about 3:30 this afternoon. and a half hours ago near sierra road and varner court and burned about eight acres before firefighters did get it under

control as we speak. there's a public safety power shutoff in action because of the red flag conditions in the bay area wind gusts are approaching 50 miles per hour pg&e shut off power to 25,000 customers across northern california. 8,000 of those customers are in the bay area mostly in parts of solano sonoma and napa counties. the power shutoffs are intended to keep the utilities equipment from sparking. with the high winds and and the guts that we have like we have today any spark it brings low humidity with it. also, which spreads a fire very very quickly. pg&e anticipates power will be restored by 10 tomorrow night and we have a team of weather experts tracking conditions or around the bay area right now before we get to abc 7 news whether anchor spencer we'll hear from abc 7. meteorologist drew tuma with more on the conditions out there drew. yeah, dan and alma it is a windy evening. we have low humidity out there and this time of the year. we know that means we have high fire danger. in fact that red flag warning it

does continue for almost the next 24 hours not expiring until five pm tomorrow evening for all aries shaded and red. that's a north bay. the east bay hills the inland east bay and the santa cruz mountains for those gusty winds. you've probably felt them where you are right now and they will continue stay pretty strong overnight tonight. it's for that fact, we have a wind advisory across the entire bay area because those winds are not only in our hills with this wind. they have reached the surface those winds have been gusting well over 30 miles per hour at times creating blowing debris even. believe downed tree limbs and isolated power outages that wind advisory for most of us. it does expire at apm later tonight, but as i bring in weather anchor spencer christian spencer, those wins are very gusty and they'll be lasting through much the evening. yeah, they will be drew as a matter of fact, here's why we have this windy pattern right now. this is a low pressure system. dropping down just to our northeast right now. we call an inside slider producing those strong dry gusts that are down sloping over the hills right now.

we have surface wind gusts up to 30 miles per hour and even strong. some locations and it's in the hills, of course where we also have high fire concerns and the strongest winds above a thousand feet right now are 30 mile per hour gusted mount hood and we had 40 mile power adjusted earlier up near mount saint helena, you can see right around the 30 mile per hour market most locations. now as we look at the wind forecast, you can see that winds going to be over 45 miles per hour along the coast at times this evening and all through the evening. the wind gusts are going to remain quite strong. they may diminish just a little bit during the overnight hours, but they'll come right back in full force during the daytime tomorrow and into the afternoon tomorrow finally in the late afternoon early evening tomorrow night. we'll see the winds tapering off at that point, of course the red flag warning will have her spot. we'll have expired ama. all right. thank you spencer and as we've reported jeannie has already turned off the power. of customers to try to prevent a wildfire in these conditions this map shows where public safety power outages underway. it's the area's colored in pink 2300 affected customers are in

vacaville with almost 700 in fairfield. the other shutoffs are in rural areas of solano sonoma, napa, alameda and contra costa counties now, we've been dealing with these deliberate pg&e power shutoffs for three years. are we stuck with them for the future and what's being to minimize the fire risk abc many side team reporter stephanie. sierra is digging into promises made by pg&e to address the problem and if they are being followed, she's in the newsroom stephanie. yes, dan. well, this year p g&e would be implemented specifically to reduce the threat of wildfires enrolling blackouts one of which is plans to underground 10,000 miles of power lines, but experts say that won't be the most cost-effective solution. as the bay area faces yet another threat of rolling blackouts for the past three years. it feels like deja vu again and again, so what's being done to prevent it? it's job one for all of california's utilities to get better at this ralph. cavana is the co-director of the

natural resources defense councils energy program and international environmental. advocacy group. he's advised the leadership at north american utility companies for decades. no one wants to be without power for any length of time. says over the past three years utility companies like pg&e are prioritizing two goals to reduce the risk of rolling blackouts how to limit the areas that are affected by these shut-offs and how to restore power more quickly according to research conducted by kavana over the past three years. pg&e has made progress getting control of the power grit to blackout areas only deem necessary to prevent fire risk as well as its system inspections to be able to restore power faster in other words that all means in the long run over time the severity of these incidents diminishes in july the utility company announced plans to underground 10,000 miles of power lines to minimize wildfire risk abc 7 asked pg&e where that goal stands today.

well pg actually just finished up an underground. project here in santa rosa where i am right now in the rincon valley neighborhood. it was one area where these customers kept getting impacted by psps events. 11,000 customers are now not going to be impacted by these psps events because they're in a far thread area and because we put those lines underground but kavana worries long-term. that won't be the most cost-effective solution undergrounding by most estimates is two to five times the cost of having lines. ground, i still want to see. whether there are other solutions in parts of the system that can deliver equivalent benefit at lower cost. pg& e said planning to the dixie fire happen, but dan the company did admit it created a sense of urgency to accelerate their progress and it certainly showed with their current progress. all right, steph. give us a sense of what you're hearing about or walk us through p.

plan to prioritize which and what power lines to bury. hey in priorities will be protect. ed fire station while also looking at a variety of factors like constructability in existing infrastructure to see where logistically it makes the most sense to move power lines underground, but it's still unclear how many miles of power lines have been installed to date 10,000 miles is certainly an ambitious goal and they tell us there's still processing. that total. okay steph. thank you very much. you at six in east bay school district is looking into exactly what happened after video showing repeated hard hits during high school football practice went viral. abc 7 news anchor liz kreutz has been working on this story for days and got new information from the district today liz. yes, so the two students we spoke to who were there tell us that this happened at el cerrito high school in the east bay and one student told us that it happened back in 2019. although it was just shared online. you can see the players in the

on the latest in the coronavirus pandemic because looking out for your health is a major part of building a better bay area pharmaceutical companies merck and ridgeback have jointly applied for emergency youth authorization for an antiviral drug. that's a pill that could treat covid-19. although the treatments have to be administered to iv or an injection, this is a pill abc 7 news reporter luz pena is a member of our abc 7 vaccine team and spent the day talking with experts about it. merck's covid-19 pill is the new weapon added to the arsenal to end this pandemic the drug looks quite promising. it's actually a repurposed drug. it was initially made to fight influenza according to the pharmaceutical trials involving 775 patients the antiviral pill decreases hospitalizations and deaths by 50% among patients with early covid-19 symptoms. meaning you would need to take this pill.

in the first days of exposure you take it by mouth kind of like tamiflu. and it works to stop the virus from replicating in our bodies both dr. deepak survastava president of the director of the quad biosciences institute at ucsf have teams of scientists researching a stronger outcome than 50% protection. i think in the future what we're going to need is a cocktail of drugs where you'd have two or three that you're taking at once just like hiv this was the big breakthrough three hiv you had for drugs on a cocktail at both labs scientists are mixing drugs previously approved for other diseases, but they both agree. this pill is not a substitute to the vaccine vaccinations will reduce your risk for hospitalization and death by 95% this pill will only do that at the rate of 50% you're flipping a coin. the fda is examining merck's data if authorized a decision could come in a matter of weeks

dr. survastava says there's a concern the fda will be tracking closely. there is a similar drug that has is known to cause mutations in our dna. and merck has studied that with their drug, and it doesn't appear that they're seeing a signal of that, but it's something the fda will be considering in san francisco. our abc 7 news for the first time since the pandemic started cruise ships are back in san francisco tonight. we're live to explain the safety precautions in place and the economic benefit for the city. two of them started out small at a very small crew. it's not where you start but where you finish they started small, but that was 75 years ago tonight the enduring legacy of a couple of navy buddies and what they
