shining down there on that side of the street. all power lines are down. the mainline, the pauline. many people in my street have their lines down, their houses as well. this would be a long night. we are going door-to-door. it is in the front yard, my neighbor's front yard, their saint stay in your house. if you have to go anywhere, please don't go anywhere. so, it is going to be a massive effort tonight and we have been without power since about 2:00. it is been going on and off. the powerlines are obviously going to make is indoors for a while. >> how is it right now? has us excited? -- hasn't subsided? quickstart costs at about 50 miles per hour, would be my guest. it about two and half years, and this is one of the strongest winds i've ever experienced in

my time here. >> obvious the, people go back to 1991 and the fire in the oakland hills. how do you -- firefighters are there, but as of now, we are not actually hearing any reports of any fires. is that correct? >> that is correct. the good news is that there are no reports of any fire. everyone in the hills are concerned about fire, even with all the rains we have had. it is very wet. but everyone it always has in the back of their minds. what happened in the early 90's with firestorms. with good news, windsor picking up. just as i'm talking to you, i don't think we are out of the wishes hit. >> what does it sound like? works -- >> it is really strong. i won't say it sound like a train, but is definitely loud noises around the neighborhood. i think we are all concerned. one of our neighbors had a tree fall in the backyard. there are so many trees, and it

is really hard to sleep at night , knowing that trees are falling down, knowing that the wind is so bad as well. it is hopefully that the winds died down soon. >> have you seen trees neighborhood? >> the trees to been falling for it i'll be able to show you when the sun comes up, but my neighbor to the right had trees down the front yard. i think that probably is what took down the power line. the firefighters to tell us that there were lines up to the end of the street. i would say it was about a thousand feats -- feet towards the intersection. but the poll lines are down. on the right side street. they are going in the direction i'm pointed camera. that were the firefighters wreck the general direction. all lines are down. >> a scary situation. stay safe. i hope your family and kids are

appear in the north bay. pretty soon, we will see these wins switch around as we get into the second half of the weekend, but for right now, it is providing a mild start to the saturday. 60 in napa, santa rosa, and oakland. 67 in san ramon. as we look at the wind profile, they are on today, at the surface, you will notice that the winds are getting a little bit later. it is 6:00, but it is not until the afternoon hours that the shade goes away, and the shade will indicate breezy conditions. by 5:00, we will be looking at later winds, but between now and then, are 24 hour temperature change is going to be my traumatic. the numbers have gone up overnight. maybe you had your windows open. it was mild out there with temperatures well into the 50's and 60's. it is all due to high-pressure that has nudged in, and low pressure to the south of us. relatively process -- relatively close, and the pressure has

allowed in. if this was an autumn event, we would have some warm temperatures, and probably a lot of red flag warning's, but due to that moisture out there from our recent rains, we are doing ok. as the winds relax, we are going to see air quality take a bit of a hit because high-pressure is still in control. we have a lot of good air quality for some parts of the bay, and by sunday, calm winds will lead us to moderate air quality. then they will because the air quality and winds through the african. mild today. warmer on sunday. a dry pattern almost through next week. it looks like we could see signs of change through friday and next saturday. here is look at some high clouds throughout the day. sunday is not as warm. as we go to the next several days, the temperatures coming down -- this will be a seven-day outlook, and as we get towards the end of the week, picking up a couple hundred into the next week. that would be good. well above average with 65 in

fremont today. 64 in livermore. 67 in napa. the winds are beginning to ease throughout the afternoon, but a gusty and blustery start to the day. we will have a look at the seven day forecast with the cooling continuing into the later part of the week. temperatures will come closer to average, and as we get to the end of the week, clouds will thicken, and by friday and saturday, we should get back into some showers. hopefully that extends into the next week. >> we certainly hope so. thank you. a diner in polk -- berkeley has closed its doors for good. the oceanview diner has been serving since 1982. i spoke to the longtime patrons who are disappointed at the loss of this institution. >> at the oceanview diner on 4th street, locals. by for good vibes and pancakes, and dropped off photos and flowers. after nearly four decades, the love it berkeley diner has closed its doors for good.
