still have not really processed it. >> ordinarily this area near daytona beach might not see this type of impact, since it is more than 100 miles north of the storm center, but this year, hurricane ian carved out huge swaths of the beach six weeks ago and it did not take much for nicole to finish the job. >> this has put some of those structures in jeopardy and they have been working hard to make sure everybody is safe. >> they ordered hundreds of people are evacuated. at the beach known as hutchinson island where nicole made landfall, we found similar signs of the storm's wrath. >> this was a tranquil place to watch the beach until hurricane nicole snatch the beach away. now this entire houses sitting on exposed pilings. over here, this is the back of the houses garage. the only thing left is the garage door, the floor, and everything else just washed away. >> not far from that house,

county workers were replenishing another stretch of this beach. it students then to nothing. erosion that change the shape of a beloved posts and lead to a discovery, the remains of six bodies. the local sheriff's office posted on facebook believed to be by nearby native american burial ground on earth by the storm. >> quarter of a million floridians without power, what can be done here in the sunshine state? abc7news. >> still causing some trouble. where is it now? >> let's check in with meteorologist mike nicco. >> that was just a category one, but each storm has its own different characteristics and strength. this one just chewed that coastline like they have not seen in decades. right now, it is just hugging the bait side and heading towards tallahassee as a tropical storm with winds of 40 to 60 miles per hour and thankfully, most of the wind,

the fastest wind is blowing offshore and not on shore, so that chilling of the coast is not happening on the gulf side. this is a big storm, 800 miles wide and it is going to cause wind damage and flood damage as it tracks through georgia, to the east of atlanta and heads toward highlands, north carolina, where they could have flooding and wind damage, especially in the mountains, the winds are higher the higher you go. flooding is not going to be an issue after the next 24 hours. for us, all that rain we had because it fell this week and the drought monitor is taken at about the same time, we have not seen the benefit yet. the only area that really shrunk was the extreme right here near that that turned into orange which is severe. otherwise, we will probably see little better return next thursday, when it comes out, when they get the full capacity of the we just received into the buckets. here is a look of pier 39.

everybody is quiet. say yes to the sea lions. get the credit card ready or just put a tower and sheet on your windshield -- towel. sunshine's and high cloud for veterans day. then a chance of what weather saturday. let's take a look at what to expect this evening as we start in the low to mid 50's at 6:00. mid 40's showing up at 7:00 and those spread everywhere by 9:00, so at least there is not a breeze but you will want to wear a heavier coat. tonight, mid 30's to upper 30's and most of her inland neighborhoods. so forget we have a chance of frost. official temperatures may be warmer than 32, outlying areas, those areas cool quicker and that is where the frost forms. tomorrow we will rebound even with the increase in high clouds. 57 in half moon bay, san francisco, 59, palo alto and the rest of us, low to mid 60's. chance of light rain in the morning, showers in the

afternoon. most of this rain and it is less than about five hundredths is going to fall in the north bay. you can see friday night into saturday, light rain that could reach the south bay. as we head into saturday evening, our afternoon and evening, showers there and they fall apart quickly. so it is a one a barely on the storm impact scale. only chance we have of what weather is a dry pattern with temperatures slightly cooler than average but a whole lot of sunshine sunday monday tuesday and wednesday. >> look at that. >> plenty of time to dry out. >> we flip the script. >> in the south bay today, they honored those who had served our country with the veterans day celebration. santa clara county veterans service office posted the event at the county park in san jose. it featured free of food and drinks as well as booths with information on vital services available to veterans. veterans day is officially observed tomorrow. >> the countdown is on to the official release of black

ourselves on the screen in this light. as a hero, as intelligent, as all of these things that the black panther stands for. i think there's not enough of that, so we cling to it when we see it, because it is a brave representation of us and that is why it is so important for us to see it, to experience it. >> the hidden genius project and girls who code among the organizations disney awarded $1 million in grants to. which provided science, technology, engineering and math and arts education to young people from historically underrepresented communities. >> i m a queen of the all powerful -- nation in the world. >> wakanda forever.

what makes the train so magical? it's not just the enchanting call of the whistle or the adventurous spirit in every bend of the track. it's about where it goes. to places. and faces. and the warmest of memories. the magic of the train is more than how it takes us away. it's how it brings us together. ♪♪ >> building a better bay area, moving forward, finding solutions. this is abc7news. >> all this year we have been committed to working on san francisco's tender lined

district as we build a better area. >> are things getting better as we near the end of the year? abc 7 insider joining us. you've been standing a lot of time there. >> it's an interesting place an interesting story. for years it has been what we call a containment zone for the city's vice. during the pandemic, it became the epicenter as well for the regions homelessness and the rampant drug use and sales. has it gotten better? some say yes. as we found out it all comes down to what block you live on and where the money is coming from. because the money being spent did make a difference. >> at the height of the pandemic, this was the tenderloin treated you could not turn a corner without seeing open drug use or open dealing. where streets were lined with tents. the people living here, businesses, nonprofits, even the university of california all demanded action. kate robinson is that executive director of the tenderloin community district. there has been a lot of

attention paid appeared as it paid off? >> i would say yes. i've been in this neighborhood for 13 years. and really saw it at its worst during the beginning of the pandemic. i have never seen such neglect in my life. >> it was pretty amazing. >> astonishing. it had to get better. >> it had to predict we saw what i think was the bottom. and i remember feeling really terrified for the neighborhood children to go back to school. and wondered what is going to happen? and feel like the city and the community really came together and marched to city hall, you know, residents, families, saying enough is enough here. and that is when the mayor declared the emergency. >> we are still seeing the tents?

>> but this is dramatically improved. of we are in the area outside of where urban is operating. they to me where the game changer. >> urban alchemy is a nonprofit that puts regular people on the streets instead of police to address the tenderloins most basic problems. according to robinson, their presence has changed the atmosphere on the blocks they patrol. so the street ambassadors have sorta cleared the way then to clear things up, is that right? >> yeah, they really engage with people to create safe spaces, so it is possible for others to do the work that we do. in activating spaces. >> and you cannot now literally see the difference in the tenderloin. >> i want to show you something. across the street there is one of the ambassadors that keeps an eye on things. you notice how clean the street and sidewalk is?

they end here. take a look at the rest of the street. that we just walked through. so what is the difference between these two blocks? >> urban alchemy is the difference between these two blocks. >> what does that mean for the viewer? >> it means that urban alchemy is present at the south side of any street and south of here, as well as midmarket and that is where we see really active, clean, and safe spaces. >> why aren't they up there? >> funding. >> >> we only have enough to do half or a quarter of the tenderloin? the city has provided $4 million to fund community based improvement projects. >> is this one of them? >> this is the urban alchemy oasis. this used to be a parking lot with a lot of negative activity inside. >> this used to be a thieves market. and a homeless camp. i remember it. >> absolutely. this is the transformation.

we see a lot of residents, and bring their dogs. this is one of the few dog parks. a lot of people come and have meetings here or have their lunch here. it is an open space for anybody. >> across the street, city funding helps to pay for monitors to watch children play in playgrounds they would not have gone it near a year ago. this is another one of your successes. >> absolutely. this was renovated right before shelter-in-place began. and it is active until 8 p.m. with children and families. we have hundreds of visitors. to the parks nearby residents coming in and accessing the parks every day. >> this was ground zero for a lot of the drug dealing and a lot of the tents right here. this was it. now, can we honestly report that this is the way it is seven days a week now? >> yes.

>> part of the plan to keep it that way comes from a program called safe passage. it helps kids and adults across the streets and also adds eyes to the streets here. the tenderloin has been home to some of the most dangerous streets for pedestrians in the city. >> it is an incredible operation. we are focused on training, training ourselves to be safe when we are looking after each other's safety. and really connecting with people when we are out here. and changing what it feels like for a child to walk home from school. changing what their memories of growing up in the tenderloin would feel like in knowing that they are looked after. >> where there is more presence, there is more change. >> this is an example of transformation. >> this used to be a post office. and now it is what? >> a food hall at a community space. it has seven different businesses inside through a

nonprofit. >> when did you open up? >> we opened officially last year. all of the women in this space are low income women of color and immigrant women who started their own businesses. they come from all walks of life. we get folks from city hall, federal building, local nonprofits. nice community help. >> people feel safe coming here? >> i would say so. that is our goal to be able to activate this corner. before i moved in, this building was closed down so inevitably, that invites invokes to take over and have unsavory activation. our charge and coming into this space is not only to create a welcoming safe inviting community space, not only to create a unique opportunity of ownership for these businesses, but in doing so, positively activate the corner and make it a place that enhances the neighborhood and makes it a place where folks want to come by, want to come by. >> it's not just about getting

people inside, it is about crating places outside for those people who live here. where they can now go and feel safe. >> what are we looking at here? >> this is a safe passage park. so this is -- i don't know a million things. an extension of the sidewalk. the abode he to activate open spaces. it is reclaiming the streets for the residents and the stakeholders here in the tenderloin. >> a year and half ago they said they could not step outside their house because they did not feel safe walking on the sidewalk. >> when this opened up, there were programs offered by the salvation army center. if there were special events being held. so it became this thing where it is a space that people could really come out and be a part of what is happening in the neighborhood. and it is a special opportunity, there's people that come here and just use the space to sit down. it is a reprieve from what happens in the tenderloin hundred >> most of the money to find these programs is coming

from the sacred but for those on the ground here, -- coming from the city. it's the people who live and work your that are making the real change happen. >> people refer to this neighborhood as a containment zone. and the good things in this neighborhood also get contained. nobody outside of the neighborhood who is here every day gets to see that there is collaboration like i have never experienced before. and care and cooperation like i have never experienced before. it exists here. that is what gives us a hope and shows us that this is possible. we just need more support to be able to sustain it. >> alright, so the take away is that things are looking better in the tenderloin and they certainly look better than they did at the height of the pandemic. it all comes down to money and commitment. now how much is the city willing to pay for people to watch the street as things get better, it remains to be seen.

where they are looking things have gotten better. where they are not looking, the streets look pretty grim. we will keep an eye on it as well. >> your reputation is only as good as your worst block. >> maybe we can make them all better, but this is an improvement. >> good to see signs of what we would consider normal. kids playing, smiling, happy. all of that. >> thank you. in san francisco's haynes valley neighborhood, code a proxy is reopening after safety concerns. three weeks ago, smith announced to the closure in a social media post. he called san francisco a city of chaos after large-scale theft at his story. today the ceo, david smith apologized, saying his intent was not to tear down san francisco, but call for change. smith says he is met with city leaders and san francisco police and says with extra security, he will reopen. >> coming up, a new look for the warriors.

>> time for the four at four with, and mike joining us. the warriors unveiling their newest jersey. >> it only exists when we are all in power. -- equality only exists. >> it was designed by oakland-based artist alice newman who will be a guest on kristen stewart p.m. show tomorrow. throughout this campaign, will

donate to the women's sports campaign association which strives to improve the lives of girls and women to the power of sports. i love the design. >> defining all the great things that women have done could i love it. it's just gorgeous. >> and we have daughters, you talk about female empowerment, it's great to see the warriors behind this kind of effort. >> anything we can do to empower the young women and young girls. nothing negative to say about it at all. >> i think of the curries and their kids. how prevalent their daughter was during -- at one time. they are grooming her to go up to be a strong independent woman. and this i'm sure is one of those byproducts of that. >> both of their girls. all right, bart is coming up with a new look sort of print this week they tweeted about a special addition 50th anniversary sweater. kind of an ugly sweater, but cute. >> i like it.

>> i'm not saying it's ugly. >> i like the color. >> it says the ball on the train can be revealed revealing parts logo. it costs $50. you can order it online or by it in person at the lake mary station. it really actually is quite cute. right? who would go for this should we get that for very as a christmas present? >> he will wear it on air. >> i would be happy to print anything that improves bart, i'm right there. i will wear anything you want. >> i do not know who did the design work, all of that. it looks good. it pops a little, right? >> is kind of dad-ish in its look. >> that does not sound like a complement. are you saying eyes should -- i should stuff my dad bought into this? i think it is really cool. you could tell it was bart by

the b a and the thing on the ranger knows. i think it's great. i hope they make money and lower our rates.s. >> that's not going to happen. >> that's a nice thought. >> raising canes, the fast food spot known for chicken fingers is now suing over what you could call an anti-chicken clause. the restaurant signed a 15 year lease and this is taking place at a mall near chicago. apparently somebody did not read the fine print. under the new lease, raising canes cannot sell chicken at this location. raising canes says the owner of the property did not disclose that mcdonald's has exclusive rights to sell chicken products at that particular mall. we were talking in the break, kristin suspects nefarious activity on the part of the atlanta board. >> yes, can you imagine sitting across the table, passing the lease over, for people to sign it. and you know, not disclosing?

who is the lawyer for the restaurant? who is not reading the contract? >> i know. that is true, but still. i would sue the landlord. >> it's fascinating that mcdonald's can have -- that that can actually happen. you can ask for anything in the contract. >> you don't think of chicken with mcdonald's necessarily. being an exclusive. the chicken sandwich, but not extrusive. >> chicken nuggets. what you can even argue is that really chicken? >> oh here we go. we will do an hour show on that. >> let's talk about something that is delicious and looks wonderful. you probably know a lot of people turned to baking during the pandemic. one woman not only got started baking,, is salivating. she turned it into a thriving business. cookiez has more than just cookies. it has ice cream, coffee and so much more. >> since it is tasty thursday,

we lucked out because we've got cookiez. we are joined by sarah herself. hi, sarah. we already have an issue here. kristin is trying to negotiate, to snatch one of my cookies, because she likes what i got more than what she got. what kind of cookies do we have? >> i try to give you an even amount of everything, but i know it is hard. >> i think i got s'mores, because i see a graham cracker and what looks to be -- i don't know what i got but it's good. >> is this a snickerdoodle type? >> i gave you guys snickerdoodle and we have maple brown butter. we got it. >> it might be maple brown butter. >> it probably is. >> i love the story of how you started. walk us through. >> we want to eat. >> wheat started in july of 2020 during the pandemic. i got my home baking permit.

did that for about two years and then moved our first brick and mortar one year ago in october. >> how does baking from home differ from the shop? obviously i assume you have more space now. >> 10 times more cookies in half the time. it is fun meeting all the customers. seeing people that followed us from the warehouse to hear, so that part is really cool. we have ice cream, we have coffee, and we always have cookies ready. there is no doubt about that and that is the most tricky part. >> are you a newcomer to baking, because this is amazing? >> it is a lot of trial and error. a lot of testing. yes. >> i would be taste tester. >> there you go. >> , on down and you can try them whenever. >> nice. >> i like that. >> did anyone get the dark chocolate with the sea salt on top? >> i think i got that.
