both sides and thousands more are injured. hamas claims it has captured dozens of israelis, including soldiers. this all began after hamas militants fired thousands of rockets from gaza into israel saturday. a state of alert for war has been declared by the israeli defense forces and the attack is drawing worldwide condemnation on president joe biden, reaffirming us support for israel yesterday from the white house. >> the united states stands with the people of israel in the face of these terrorist assaults. israel has the right to defend itself and its people. this is not a moment for any party hostile to israel to exploit these attacks, to seek advantage . the world is watching and white house officials say it's too early to know if iran had any involvement with the attacks in israel. >> the fbi and the department of homeland security have issued a public safety notification to law enforcement across the us, urging them to stay vigilant during the ongoing situation. and back in the bay area, we're getting local response to the conflict as well as a better
5:03 am
understanding of what's behind it. abc7 news reporter tara campbell spoke to a variety of experts on the conflict in the middle east. >> the sights and sounds of chaos in the middle east. a palestinian attack and israeli response. i think this is one of the most significant moments of palestinian resistance that we have ever seen. george bisharat is an emeritus professor at uc law san francisco and an expert on the middle east. >> certainly the most significant military, every act of resistance ever against israel by the palestinians. >> and he says the palestinian attack has likely been long in the making for hamas to be able to pull this off in a surprise way like this is an incredible feat. >> now, you know, whatever you make of it, it's as a as a matter of a military operation, pretty incredible. >> as a jew and i know i speak for my jewish colleagues in the legislature, we are all both
5:04 am
horrified and terrified about what's happening in israel state senator scott wiener is a member of the california legislative jewish caucus. this is not perfect by any stretch. i have my own very public criticisms. but what happened today crosses a red line. nothing justifies the terrorist attacks that we saw today. this is a horrific day. >> the violence that we're seeing today is disturbing to everyone who cares about peace and justice. >> edward ackman. mitchell leads the council on american islamic relations until the occupation ends here, we're going to keep seeing this cycle of violence repeat itself for years and years to come. and as for what comes next, the professor says it could go several ways. >> the fact of the number of hostages provides the palestinians with a significant leverage against the israeli state power and may cause a quicker end to this than in less
5:05 am
violent into this than we might otherwise see. >> or he says israel could respond as it has in the past. >> another scenario is that israel will mass go ahead and do as it has done in the past and possibly even worse in afghanistan. >> the death toll is rising following a series of powerful earthquakes. the taliban says more than 2000 people have died . the strongest of the quakes was a 6.3 magnitude one. it struck about 25 miles from the western city of herat. many buildings were damaged, trapping people in the rubble and there were at least three powerful aftershocks. box officials in maui are urging the governor of hawaii to delay the reopening of the western side of the island to tourists. it's plan to reopen in phases starting today. wildfires devastated the town of lahaina back in august. and yesterday, maui county officials voted unanimously on a resolution to postpone the reopening, claiming residents need more time to heal and rebuild. the maui wildfires
5:06 am
claimed 97 lives and left more than 30 people missing, making them the fires. the deadliest fires in us history. at home, we saw another dazzling aerial display from the blue angels as the stars of fleet week soared over san francisco this weekend. today's the last day. you can check them out. and saturday was a perfect fog free day for flying, but it was hot. abc7 news reporter cornell bernard has a look at how people kept cool while enjoying that spectacular show. >> all eyes in the sky. nobody on the marina green missing a second of the navy's blue angels doing what they do best over san francisco bay. spectators know you've got to see it to believe it. the roar and rumble of the jets at speeds of 700mph. clayton earl from san francisco never misses the show.
5:07 am
>> it doesn't get old. it just gets loud for our old ears. >> oh, they're spectacular. they're i love them. the fleet week air show even impressing the likes of retired top gun navy commander jerry gallop. >> you know, as a former top gun guy, i try not to say anything great about the blue angels. you know, it was pretty it's a little bit of a rivalry between those two groups. but man, can can they fly and los angeles azules yeah, that's blue in spanish. >> earlier, the navy's leapfrogs parachute team started the show, followed by a flyover by the patriots jet team, which performed a missing woman formation to honor late senator dianne feinstein. it was a perfect fog free day for flying . the only downside, it was hot. you better believe a lot of families came prepared for the heat with water, sunscreen, umbrellas, ice and a lot of pop up tents, too. manny guerrero from sunnyvale had a cool idea.
5:08 am
>> well, we brought a lot of cool drinks. we brought our tent and we're just going to try to ration ourselves and not eat, i guess run or walk too much. >> others using fans to cool off. but there were few complain when this was the payoff. the blue angels rocketing over the bay in san francisco. cornell bernard, abc7 news. >> abc seven news.com is your place for all things fleet week . just check out the front page of our website to find a full schedule of the weekend's festivities. and we've also posted video of the blue angels performance that you can check out. now let's check in with lisa. all right. >> we have got a much cooler day on the way. we're still going to be above average inland. but what a gorgeous view here. we're talking about temperatures back to near average. and there is a lot of fog out there. so we'll talk about how warm we get today. and the possibility of rain showers on monday and the week ahead. next

5:11 am
you look at the golden gate bridge this morning, as we were about ten minutes after five, just getting our morning started here. all right. well, a neighborhood in suisun city was evacuated saturday as a wild fire threatened eihomes in the cause is still unknown, but homeowners say the flames near wiley lane ce dangerously close to their houses. abc seven news reporter unser hassan has their story. >> late saturday evening, fire crews continued to monitor the aftermath of a wildfire that burned more than 30 acres in suisun city, threatening nearby homes and businesses. >> how close was the fire to your facility? >> i would have to say literally
5:12 am
in our backyard. and it would have came in if the fence wasn't there. >> jasmine peete is the sales supervisor at pick and pull an auto dismantling shop which sells car parts. the damage along the entire back fence line shows how the fire was kept out . that likely prevented another problem, says pete. given the potentially toxic material at the facility, we deal with a lot of chemicals, fluids like gas, gas, oil, freon, sometimes we even deal with hazardous waste. >> we did have a response from cal fire and they did do an air drop for us, which helped contain the blaze as well. >> captain matty scott with suisun fire protection district was the first on scene. he says the fire broke out around 12 noon and quickly spread as the winds began to pick up speed. despite the wet winter, the grass is dry, which is always a concern for this time of year, says captain matty, especially here in solano county. >> this is still fire season. yeah, october. even into november, we always get a warm spell for this time of year in october. so this is can be
5:13 am
expected in this part of the state. >> the fire also prompted an evacuation order for the nearby neighborhood. >> all of a sudden we just see a bunch of smoke blow into our backyard. it got dark. there was ash just immediately blown into our faces and it was orange and super scary. >> the macy family was evacuated for four hours. when they got home, they found parts of their backyard damaged by the fire, burnt fence and plants. ashes everywhere. but no reports of injuries. and the family is just thankful to be safe. yeah, i'm so happy. >> we see so happy to see my all neighbors are good. they're all safe. >> the cause of the fire is still unknown in solano county and san hassan, abc seven news. and as the threat of wildfires increases, we're learning that what your house is made of and small changes to your property can have a big impact on how vulnerable you and your home are. >> abc's matt gutman has more on the latest fire safety research . >> we're at a one of a kind test facility where researchers study the science of wildfires,
5:14 am
something i've spent much of my career covering for abc news in california. wow the intensity of that is absolutely enormous. the heat is overwhelm, doing almost nothing they could do with that wind. >> this is a firestorm. >> we're going on the other side of the car here at the insurance institute for business and home safety or. >> that powerful wind is simulated by this towering wall of more than 100 industrial strength fans blasting those red hot embers toward structures. and this helps scientists learn what kinds of building materials will burn and what can withstand the hot fury of mother nature. experts say it's those scorching embers, though tiny, that can turn small fires into town, destroying events. it was those wind driven embers in maui in august that experts say helped the historic and deadly inferno to spread so fast, killing at least 97 people and engulfing more than 2000 structures, most
5:15 am
of them homes, but not this one featured in the honolulu civil beat virtually unscathed. some called it a miracle, but researchers at ibis point to two factors that likely saved the structure a commercial grade steel roof and riverstone surrounding the home. the homeowner is telling the civil beat they replace their traditional landscaping with the stones not to protect their home from fire, but from water and termite damage. little do they know that one of the key tactics ibs teaches us is creating a minimum of a five foot fire resistant buffer zone around your home. using hardscapes and noncombustible fencing. >> think of it like your moat you are keeping wildfire and embers away from your structure. >> this time lapse video shows a fire ignited along a fence between two structures. watch as the fire never reaches the home on the right because it can't pass through that metal fence, the wooden fence on the left, however, acts like a wick of a
5:16 am
candle bringing the fire directly to the house. and now they've built a home just for us. you can see there are two distinct sides here. one has this wooden mulch outside. do you see a wooden deck or wooden siding? the other side is a wildfire prepared home. these are fire resistant sidings. so you can see the metal in the deck, that fence, the part that actually touches the house that is also made out of metal. and you can see this hardscape going all around. so under the supervision of the richburg fire department, we fired up those ember generators and they allow me to step right in their path. and in just minutes, these embers are coming in fast and just now, this is the start of a fire right underneath this bush here, right next to the deck. this could be the thing that ignites this whole house here, this deck, the one made out of steel, nothing. >> and this deck right now is catching fire. that thing is
5:17 am
going to blow up. >> this deck is now completely engulfed in flames. it's going to take this out in less than two minutes later. it did exactly that. all the while, the right side remains seemingly untouched. this house is virtually gone. you can hear you can feel the heat from those flames right now. it is absolutely massive. and you can see how quickly that wooden side of this house was engulfed in flames. it's in the eaves right now, which also means it's going through those vents, those vents were covered in steel protective mesh, but they were the wrong size as the holes so big they let the embers through. the rule of thumb here is that you don't want mesh that that can have a nail or a golf tee go through it. you want it to be a bit finer than that. something that can block this stuff that way. the embers can't get through that mesh and into your home right now. the firefighters are about to come in and douse this thing because it's gotten too hot. abc's
5:18 am
there. >> just incredible research that they're doing. and unfortunately , we need it. as you heard in that story before, matt gutman that october is definitely still a risky month for fire season as we saw this weekend. lisa it can be extremely hot. even those of us who have lived here for a long time still kind of surprised by that. >> i know. i know. and the good thing going for us was that the wind didn't pick up. i mean, it could have really been a bad scene with an offshore flow. and we had no wind advisories, but still with the brush so dry this time of year. and so hot out there. yeah, it is very scary. but we are looking at a cool down. how about 71 yesterday in half moon bay, while elsewhere we had widespread mid 90s. it was a 90 widespread mid 90s in the north bay concord livermore 96, 88. in oakland, 92. at the airport. so the cooling just at the coast with some 70s there. but we've got a lot of dense fog right off the shoreline. no visibility at all around half
5:19 am
moon bay, 62 in san leandro, 63 in hayward. so we still are holding on to these milder temperatures with the clear sky. but a lot of fog here. pacifica, 53, we're in the low 50s up in the north bay. it is a much cooler day out there. still be warm inland, but nothing compared to what we had the past four days. so cooler at the coast today and temperatures about 5 to 8 degrees above average. inland touching around 90. otherwise, we get back to some much cooler weather for everyone monday and tuesday. cloudy skies, chance of showers, maybe mid day on monday and in the week ahead. kind of uneventful looking at some cooler than average temperatures as we look at the fog this morning. it's off the coast wants to push into the marin county coast a little bit but then it pulls back. we've got a nice sunny afternoon on the way again and then a pretty gloomy looking monday with a cold front on the way. here it is. it looks impressive, right? but look what happens as it moves across the bay area just kind of falls
5:20 am
apart. and we're not seeing much, if any rainfall at all. but the clouds are going to stay with us. it will be cool. we'll see a shift in our winds come monday and tuesday. but rainfall amounts, check it out, anywhere from maybe a 10th of an inch up towards santa rosa, 5/100. novato and then the rest of us just maybe a splash here or there. but overall, the clouds, the cooler weather, the return to higher relative humidity so widespread 60s maybe a few low 70s into your monday look at tuesday. we'll see some breaks in the clouds but still pretty cool out there. 70 in richmond as well as danville. and then into wednesday. notice we've got some mid 70s, partly cloudy skies and temperatures today. very pleasant and you'll notice the slow warm-up for the blue angels 61 partly cloudy 10:00 mid 60s with mostly sunny conditions throughout the afternoon. that's a big change from those upper 80s yesterday and then back home throughout the day today we'll see about 70. downtown, 75 in oakland.
5:21 am
upper 80s to near 90 inland. so that's still warm, but certainly a break from the heat. the accuweather seven day forecast still have it as a level one on monday, but we may have to drop that and then by tuesday looking at the cooler cloudier conditions and then finally the end of the week we could warm up just a little bit. so no big, big change out there. but did you like the heat? >> not so much in the south bay, but i was actually here last night in the city and it was great, right? i didn't need my jacket or anything, which is rare as we know. so it was intense. yeah. pros and cons. it's just amazing that we're going to drop like that. so. yeah, get ready. yeah. never put the jackets away. it's all about layers, right? lisa, thank you. and just ahead, how climate change, speaking of could impact flood insurance here in the bay area. we'll be back

5:24 am
department was called in and had to use ropes and harnesses to hoist them to safety. the rescue prompted this warning from the fire department. >> if your canine does go off, the cliff, call us immediately by calling 911 in the city and county. san francisco and allow our rescue technicians to come and rescue the canine. we're fortunate that this incident resulted in no injuries, but it could have had a worse outcome. >> i'm very fortunate indeed. last year, crews carried out around 100 rescues at fort funston alone. captain baxter there s in a number of those instances, a person trying to save a dog ended up needed saving themselves because the dog was able to make it back up on their own. well, with governor newsom stepping in to stabilize california's shaky home insurance market last week, new data is pointing to another risk that homeowners may not fully appreciate. abc7 news weather anchor spencer crichton has the details. you could say
5:25 am
leanne mcginley has san francisco bay for a next door neighbor to a newly completed section of seawall sits just a few hundred feet away from her front door in foster city and the multi-million dollar upgrade means leanne and her neighbors will not be required to purchase flood insurance, which can run hundreds of dollars or more. >> i am retired and of course that's a fixed income, right now. i would probably be all right tapping into savings, but no one wants to do that. >> but balancing the cost of flood protection and flood insurance can be an increasingly expensive challenge for communities around the bay area. climate change is predicted to drive increasing sea level rise and ultra wet storm cycles known as atmosphere. derek rivers leaving thousands of families woefully unprepared. an abc7 news data team analysis found more than 300,000 homes and businesses around the rim of san francisco bay have an 80% chance of flooding over the next 30 years and still nearly 90% of homeowners may not have flood
5:26 am
insurance. >> more people are going to need it. more people need it now. we know that, you know, last winter when california saw those deluges and a lot of people had losses and damage, there was a lot of i opening. wow. i didn't realize that i could flood. >> amy bach directs the consumer nonprofit united policyholders. she says the numbers reflect a growing strain on the state's insurance system from natural disasters, including floods, wildfires and earthquakes. with the current patchwork of public and private coverage struggling to spread the risk. >> the way things are going, we are going to have to have some kind of a federal disaster insurance program. and just like we created the affordable care act and we said these are the essential benefits that an insurer must provide and insurer cannot reject somebody who has a preexisting condition. i think we're going to have to get there with property. >> last month, governor gavin newsom signed an executive order designed to stabilize the state's property insurance market, potentially allowing
5:27 am
insurers to factor the future risk from climate change into their rates. while the complicated market continues to shake itself out, leanne mcginley is grateful for a bit of breathing room from the new seawall, at least where flood insurance is concerned. >> i was originally for the project and even more so now. i think the future is very important not only for me and my family but for other generations. and this is important for that protection. >> you can also go to abc7 news.com to check your neighborhood flood risk in the decades moving forward. and we'll also have links to interactive maps showing other climate threats as well including wildfires. while caltrain service between san francisco and millbrae stations is canceled this weekend so riders can take a bus bridge between the two stations. there's also the option of transferring to bart at millbrae . the shutdown is part of the caltrain electrification project. crews are carrying out critical construction and testing in time for passenger service, set to start in 2024.

action but before the game he hit this trick shot from behind the baseline in now a warriors assistant beat him he'd miss big mistake he had to pay with pushups and cp three made him pay up right away. cp three and the warriors hosting the lakers and the preseason opener. paul's first shot as a warrior. it's got to be mid range, right? the 11 foot jumper coming up here and he drains it. paul finished with six points. then after kevon looney gets the rebound, of course, paul looking up the floor, finds steph who else? and splash. he drains his first three of the pre season right there. a little later they're going to hook up again and i think i'm going to like this good tandem paul with five assists in just 13 minutes of play. funniest moment of the game the warriors swinging it around. jonathan kuminga finds the open man. it's steph but he's not in the game. he's standing on the sideline. oops, you got to get curry the ball at all costs. six maybe when he's on the bench. oh big laughs all

around and at the timeout curry says good eyes but that's my bad. the warriors win their preseason opener 125 108 warriors head coach steve kerr on cp3 performance there's a pace to the game that that is fun to watch as a coach where you just kind of know he's going to just be making the right play over and over and he understands, you know, when we need to pull it back and get into an action or, you know, play faster because he understands the rhythm of the game. >> so chris is amazing. it's really fun to have him on our side. finally san jose, state of boise state and the elvire in the building. >> i bet you they have blue suede shoes on the broncos turn it over twice in the first quarter. san jose state took advantage. tough running by kevin cordero. get off me he will not be denied 11 yards for the score. it's going to be 14 nothing spartans after yet another boise state turnover qualley conley caps an 84 yard drive from six yards out. it was
5:47 am
27 seven spartans at one point, but boise state scored 28 unanswered points. taylin green gave them the lead with the 11 yard touchdown run. the final minute san jose state down eight. still had a chance. fourth down cordero looking long, scrambling. he gets tripped up and the spartans fall to one and five after they lose 3527. they've had double digit leads in the second half in both of their last two games, and they lost cal hosting number 15, oregon state, the bears staying in this one into the second half in his very first start at quarterback fernando mendoza threw two touchdowns, including this 30 yarder to jack andres cal down just three after making the two point conversion run. but the beavs break it open after that throwing a touchdown pass to defensive lineman isaac hodgins to make it 4932. the bears trying to stay in it, but mendoza is picked off by dermod mccoy and the beavs break out the turnover. chainsaw bears lose 52 to 40. they're three and

three on the season. have a great sunday, everybody. i'm casey pratt. >> look at this. firefighters in sacramento rescued a kitten from underneath a car. that car drove to the station for help. and once the firefighters caught the kitten, it ran back into the car and had to be rescued a second time. but guess what? this story has a happy ending. that kitten was finally caught and now has a new home. poor kitten. so scared. i'm sure the owner of the car was probably frightened, too, but did the right thing. going to the right authorities for help there. so yeah. happy ending. >> yeah. so cute. all right. good morning, everybody. we have some dense fog out there. national weather service has issued a dense fog advisory from the peninsula to including the golden gate bridge southward into monterey. that fog is with us. a cold front on the way. it is going to fall apart, but could bring us some measurable rain. temperatures right now in the upper 50s downtown. certainly a lot cooler out there. you're probably feeling the change. yesterday, it was just at the coast, 71 there, but
5:49 am
we had a record high of 92 in oakland, 62 in concord. right now, 57 in napa. pretty view here. and you can see the fog there and just a little bit entering san francisco. so that advisory until 10:00 for the peninsula. the golden gate bridge, even fog over the richmond-san rafael bridge, maybe the bay bridge. it'll be cooler today, but still above average. inland maybe 5 to 9 degrees above average. but another 7 to 17 degrees of cooling today. so we have certainly a day of transition and then a chance of showers for monday. the next few systems looks look to move north of the bay area. here's a look at our sea breeze that will develop throughout the afternoon. we haven't talked about that for about five days. by about 4:00, we've got winds up to 25 miles an hour. they are going to switch around to the south tomorrow as a cold front moves in to the north bay. so we'll be looking for the cooler, breezier winds and that cool marine air to be transported all the way
5:50 am
across the bay. so as we look at the time frame, 230, we are sunny, maybe a little bit of fog, wants to hug the point raised coast there. the san mateo coast but otherwise sunny skies is a much cooler day. and then the fog enters the bay with high and mid level clouds. for your monday. here's the cold front. so by about mid-morning, spreading some showers from sonoma to napa, stopping this at 1:00 and some spotty light rain perhaps moving into the peninsula, could see maybe one one hundredths over in oakland. but overall, the rainfall amounts not looking very impressive. but it's still early, right? it's october and we're looking at a big change, increasing our relative humidity . it has been so dry still temperatures in the upper elevations well into the 70s and relative humidity still very low at this point. so we could use that change for sure. livermore upper 80s today, average high, low 80s and look at the drop for monday, tuesday by wednesday. looks like we want to see a bit of recovery, but it really isn't
5:51 am
going to happen until later on in the week when we get to our warmest day. looks to be about thursday. so that's in our inland valleys and elsewhere. we're looking at a nice sunny afternoon again. but boy, what a change. you'll need the jacket out there for fleet week, 61 degrees, 10:00 san francisco, partly cloudy skies. so starting out with the clouds and the fog, some of that dense fog by the afternoon, clearing on out for mid 60s that sea breeze with us so we're talking 20 degrees cooler today so highs around the bay big changes for you from that 92 in oakland. how about 75 today? we were 94 in san jose going down to 85 today had the mid 90s inland just about upper 80s today. so even our inland valleys feeling a bit cooler, even though they still will be above average. the accuweather seven day forecast still today the warmest day out in the next seven. our level one system, a weak system, but maybe a few raindrops on monday cool through tuesday. even wednesday where
5:52 am
temperatures in the 60s and 70s and a couple of warmer days thursday and friday. so definitely not unusual to get that heat that we had, but always makes you nervous in october. so kind of glad it's behind us. >> yes, absolutely. and looking forward to those cooler temperatures, those fall like temperatures that we should have, you know, we expect this time of year anyway. but again, this is typical. >> yeah, it is. but it was it was intense. >> yes, it was. so it's behind us now, like you said, we're grateful. all right. well, there were no winners in last. okay. we're going to be right back. >> halloween season is here and disney is celebrating with a month of scary good fun. run run, run! goosebumps a new series inspired by the bestselling books comes to disney plus, hulu and freeform on friday the 13th. >> this place is haunted. >> disney's haunted mansion is part of this year's hallow stream line up on disney plus and on hulu. hulu even includes the creepy new movie appendage.
