release of roughly 150 people taken hostage by hamas. >> we need to bring them home safe. the negotiations has to start. someone has to do something to bring them home near life. >> chioma is one of the organizers of friday's protest. >> some of the families don't even know whether their their loved ones are hostages or killed because they just have no word. it's so hard to be away from home in these terrible days. >> we feel helpless. we want to hug our friends and families and it's just physically impossible. >> i didn't think there was anything more important than to be here today to stand with the hostages from this absolutely barbaric act of terrorism in southern israel. our hearts are just breaking and police presence strong outside city hall with mounting concern over possible retaliation. >> we are encouraging people to be cautious and add security measures. but we cannot cower in fear. we need more voices from our community and our allies. today, more than ever, there are

people who didn't come purely out of fear and they would have come otherwise. >> people with kids, people, they just didn't come. >> the depravity is unimaginable . there was no choice. i had to come to show my support to bring the hostages back. >> brave three, palestine. >> meanwhile, outside the israeli consulate, a small group gathering in support of the people of palestine. >> they are not having a humanity for from israel. israel is getting advantage today. they punishment for 75 years and now. now it's time to stand up and say it's enough. the killing of children there had to be peace over there. >> there had to be resolution that they had to do over there. but we cannot support the continuing of the killing of the people. >> now, as for what is coming next, event organizers at both of these protests told me there are plans for more to come. as for those details, they say they're taking it day by day.

and of course, we will fill you in on all of that as we learn more. larry and christine. >> all right, sarah, thank you. today's day of action prompted several bay area jewish day schools to close over security concerns. this is video from the south peninsula hebrew day school in sunnyvale today. schools in foster city and palo alto also shut down for the day. and stanford law school held all of its classes on zoom today in response to some students fearing their possible safety being at risk. >> today, israeli forces kicked off raids inside the gaza strip after warning more than a million palestinian to evacuate. the world health organization is now begging israel to reverse its evacuation order, saying it will add to the growing humanitarian crisis. supplies are scarce. the power is out and hospitals are on the verge of collapse. >> as palestine's government says already today, 70 people were killed, 200 more injured trying to flee gaza during an israeli airstrike. the biden administration has started arranging charter flights for us

light, 1 or 2 hundredths of an inch. but the partial eclipse begins at 805 tomorrow morning and maximum eclipse will occur around 920 with the partial eclipse ending around 1042. and during that time period, from 8 a.m. to about 11 a.m. tomorrow, most of the bay area will still be seeing cloudy skies with the exception of the south bay. so viewing conditions are a bit iffy right now. i'll give you another look a little bit later, larry. >> all right, spencer, see you with the seven day forecast in a few minutes. and despite the possible rain that spencer was talking about, we're still in fire season in the north bay. firefighters are conducting a controlled burn trying to reduce wildfire risk. abc7 news reporter cornell bernard spoke with neighbors getting help not only from firefighters but also from a local nonprofit. >> it's a little scary to see all the smoke. >> otis holt is watching part of his property burn in rural sonoma county near forestville. this burn is controlled and supervised by firefighters. otis says it's a good thing and long overdue. >> this is the first fire, to my knowledge, that's happened here

in the last century. and so it's overdue for sort of a fire cleansing. what that means for you is that you'll just continue burning and segment 11 acres of dry fuel is being burned here under a program called fire forward that's been helping hundreds of north bay residents keep their communities safe. >> firefighter it is a program of audubon canyon ranch. >> we are here to connect people with the land, to put good fire back on the ground and give training to people. >> this is what we call later in our fire season. >> cal fire was assisting with the late season burn and they've got a small window to get it done. >> timing wise, this was our opportunity. this was our best window between when the rain that we had earlier in the week and the expected light rain that we should have coming in this season. >> firefighters across the bay area have conducted dozens of prescribed burns like this one last july in petaluma, helping

to reduce wildfire risk. >> if you come back up and just get all the way to the line here , get this last little strip of fuel we can't always just be on the reactive side of fighting fire. >> but also we want to do our fuels management and reduce fire loads in our communities. north bay homeowners know fire season can last all year long around here, but proactive measures like this are taking some of the stress out of living here. >> we're we're all hoping that there's enough of this being done that the wildfires are are not going to be quite so powerful in sonoma county. >> cornell bernard, abc seven news to today san jose police arrested the mother daughter owners of a daycare where two toddlers drowned earlier this month. >> the co owners of the happy happy home daycare are facing felony charges in the deaths of two little girls in a backyard pool. a boy who was also found in the pool is recovering. the

owners of the home daycare turned themselves in this morning. they're due in court in december. investigators say the children were left unattended in an outdoor play area. they then walked through a pool gate that had been propped open. kaiser has reached a tentative deal with its workers that could avoid a second potential strike. >> the first strike was last week. this tentative agreement provides guaranteed wage increases, boosts retirement income plans and increases professional development and job training. the ratification process expected to begin on october 18th. also, a deal reached that will prevent a work stoppage for employees at california state university. schools the csu employees union reaching a tentative three year deal with the university system. if approved, workers will get a 5% salary increase in the first and second years of that agreement. >> an update to a strike this morning at the starbucks on shattuck avenue in berkeley. workers picketed today demanding safer working conditions. this afternoon, starbucks corporate office told abc seven news they

have temporarily closed that location due to construction issues that made working there difficult. employees will be transferred to other stores. >> the crackdown is working that is the message today from san francisco's mayor and police chief as they discussed a series of arrests, including those in yesterday's break in at a union square luxury store. officers arrested. two suspects also recovered about $150,000 worth of stolen goods after the break. in at the dior store, union square police chief bill scott says it's just one example from a much more aggressive approach to fighting crime. he says officers have also made a number of arrests in fencing operations hidden amongst vendors on mission street. this is not just the people stealing the property , it's also the people selling it. >> and it's also the people buying it. our investigators, others arrested the operators of this fencing market recovered over $17,000 of stolen property property from lululemon property from victoria's secrets that still had the tags and the

sensors on mayor london breed says much of the credit for these recent arrests is due to the state grant. >> the city was recently awarded to help combat organized retail theft part of highway 101 in redwood city will be closed this weekend. >> northbound lanes between the whipple avenue and britton avenue exits will close starting at 10:00 tonight. drivers can take to 80 or 880 over on the san mateo-hayward bridge. the weekend closures will also allow caltrans to finish replacing the cordilleras creek bridge repair bears to the richmond-san rafael bridge is damaged. toll plaza will take about three weeks. that means the three far right lanes will remain closed to traffic through october. the stenmark drive on ramp will also remain closed and officials say no wide load trucks are allowed westbound on the bridge at this time. all eastbound lanes remain open. >> coming up, fighting drug addiction through treatment, not handouts. the goal that is not easily reached a work of art commissioned by the city of san francisco defaced and it was

to create a hydrogen hub. the hub will span california and include the ports of oakland,

long beach and los angeles. renewable hydrogen is viewed as one of the keys to helping the state reach its zero emission climate goals. >> it will help california develop a local and sustainable renewable energy source, and it will reduce our dependance on fossil fuels, clean up our air, especially in our most impacted communities. >> governor newsom's office says using hydrogen for port operations will cut carbon emissions by so much that it'll be like taking 445,000 gas powered cars off the road. california was selected as one of seven regions across the country to receive money to build a hydrogen hub. >> last month, september 20, 23. so far, the warmest september ever on record. this according to the national oceanic and atmospheric administration. the agency's records date back 174 years. it was the fourth month in a row of record warm global temperatures. september also set a record for the lowest global sea ice on record. >> very, very worrisome.

>> yeah, we're into october. it's a little cooler here. and maybe some rain this weekend. >> yeah, a little interesting for the half moon bay pumpkin festival, spencer. >> that's true. we've got light rain moving into the north bay right now and some of it may linger into tomorrow. so we'll see how things go with the festival. but right now we're looking at live doppler seven, the looping image, and you can see rain moving into much of northern california. it's very light, especially that that's moving into the bay area sort of the trailing edge of a very weak frontal system. right now. we've got surface winds generally about 15 to 20mph, 25mph here in san francisco. so not only is it cloudy and gray, it's pretty breezy. so a typical fall like afternoon low low temperatures, current temperatures are about 4 to 8 degrees lower than they were at this time yesterday. so that's your 24 hour temperature change. and we've got gray conditions over san francisco. as you can see in this camera view from sutro tower. 60 degrees in the city right now, 65 in oakland. we've got 68 in mountain view, san jose and palo alto both checking in at 70, well, actually 76 at san jose.

but 70 at palo alto and 61 at half moon bay. here's a view from mount tam and you can see low clouds beginning to push in under the higher clouds. so it's quite gray across the entire region right now, 73 degrees up north in santa rosa and at napa, novato 77 and we have mid to upper 70s at fairfield, concord and livermore. final live view from the emeryville camera looking back towards san francisco. there are some bright spots in the sky but it is mainly cloudy right now. these are our forecast headlines. chance of north bay showers tonight into early tomorrow. clouds will linger into early sunday, but it will be sunnier and warmer beginning sunday afternoon. here's our forecast animation starting at 5 p.m, notice the clouds will continue swinging through the bay area through the nighttime hours. we'll see some light showers or drizzle moving through the north bay. mainly it'll start to wind down. the drizzle will after midnight, but the clouds remain with us and they'll linger into the morning hours tomorrow. so that may obscure the view of the solar eclipse, which will begin around 805 tomorrow morning at

maximum eclipse, 77% of the sun covered by a obscured, i should say. so that occurs at 9:20 a.m. the maximum eclipse and at 1042, partial eclipse ends. so between 8 a.m. and about 11 a.m. that's a critical period for people wanting to get a good view of the solar eclipse. and at that hour, 930 looks like only the south bay has a pretty good chance of getting a decent view of the eclipse. so on we go. the rainfall totals will only be a couple of hundredths of an inch, mainly up in the north bay, overnight lows in the mid to upper 50 soquel's highs tomorrow mid 60s at the coast low to mid 70s around the bay shoreline mid to upper 70s inland and here's the accuweather seven day forecast. we get some clearing and some warmer weather on sunday but then it cools down again on monday as another weak frontal system swings through. but then beginning tuesday and going into the end of the week, we'll have sunnier and warmer days. in fact, almost summer like warmth. by the end of next week larry. all right. >> thank you, spencer. san francisco artist says his mural

on a utility box was defaced. and as you can see, it was completely painted over. he believes this was an attack against the queer community. the artwork was at the corner of 22nd and valencia streets in the mission district. abc7 news reporter suzanne phan with a look at what the artist wants to do next. this was the mural artist josé manuel carmona painted last month on a utility box in the mission district. >> carmona says he was inspired by his good friend juanita moore, a drag queen and activist. but within 48 hours of finishing the project, commissioned by the city, someone painted over it. >> i felt horrible. i felt violated. i felt like disrespected and humiliated. >> carmona power washed the box at 22nd and valencia removing the brown paint over his mural. but then this happened. it is my neighborhood, too. to a confrontation between carmona and this man who lives nearby. go paint it somewhere else, please. >> no, i have a permit here. >> carmona says the man then took out a scraper and more brown paint.

>> so please do not destroy this art. yes, you are taking it off. yes, you are. carmona responded, painting these pink words. >> i was erased by homophobia. >> as an artist, nobody should see their work defaced like that. also also as a queer latino, proud citizen, i don't believe censorship like that should still happen or be permitted. >> this is what the box looks like on this friday, we reached out to the project partners paint the void and city joy fund with their help, nearly three dozen artists have painted 100 utility boxes in different san francisco neighborhoods. >> there's definitely a precedent for vandalism and having things being tagged. but this feels much more of an attack against the queer community and in this instance, it just feels very targeted. >> carmona wants to turn a negative into a positive give. >> i would like to paint the box again and i would like to have a conversation with this individual. >> the plan now we're trying to organize a response, a public

response. >> we would like this person and everybody else to know that we are together and we are not afraid and we are not going to permit censorship like this in san francisco. >> suzanne phan abc7 news. >> from mariachi singer to opera star, the man sharing his gift with more than just his audience . >> and later, how you can watch tomorrow's solar eclipse without hurting your

shining a spotlight on internationally renowned operatic tenor arturo chacon cruz. >> abc7 news reporter gloria rodriguez spoke with chacon. cruz about his musical journey. >> he can bring you to tears with his italia arias, but tenor arturo chacon cruz started his musical journey by singing popular spanish mariachi songs like these corrido moimenta mariachi is almost like opera, i say almost because we tell stories in a very, very short period of time. >> we tell the whole story in one song, and sometimes the songs will connect. mariachi has the life, has the joy, has the incredible expression through the voice and the music behind

you. >> chacon, cruz has performed in 30 countries at the most prestigious opera houses around the world, but san francisco holds a special place in his heart. >> they were doing this opera, il trovatore, 20 years ago. and i said to my wife, then fiancé, wouldn't that be awesome? if i can sing that here one day and 20 years to the day, it's happening. so it's a dream maker as well. >> chacon cruz is helping younger artists achieve their dreams like moisés salazar, his understudy. >> he i think my favorite thing about him is that he is such a nice guy and that's kind of, you know, that's one thing. you always hope that when you meet your idols, they're nice people. >> maestro placido domingo gave me lessons and scholarships. i studied with the greatest of the greatest and i feel like i didn't deserve it at the time. i was so young, having hadn't done anything wrong. so i feel like life has given me an opportunity

to give back some of those blessings. he was one of the first tenors that i. >> i heard was like a mexican tenor, you know, and being mexican myself, it was very inspiring, encouraging, singing, seeing a mexican tenor, salazar also started his career in mariachi music, then transitioned to opera. opera puts this illusion sometimes that it's inaccessible to everybody. and so i grew up in southern california in a ghetto and part of town, and you just kind of like it just seems really far away and so when i realized i could sing it, i was like, oh, i can do this. >> chacon cruz says being a mexican singer in the opera world hasn't been easy. >> i was urged by an early agent to change my name to something italian so i would be accepted more easily into the into the opera world, which i didn't think it would have been good for my soul. so i said no. and i kept i kept my name and i kept

my culture and i kept who i am. >> in san francisco. gloria rodriguez is abc. seven news. as yeah. >> what a voice, huh? all right. hispanic latin american heritage month also provides an opportunity to educate kids across the state about the contributions of latino leaders. >> and she is the reason when we say si, se puede, she created the phrase si se. puede. get a si se puede on state superintendent of public instruction tony thurmond paid his respects to dolores huerta, co-founder of the united farm workers union and a civil rights icon. >> she was one of several latino and hispanic leaders taking part in today's event, along with former nasa astronaut jose hernandez and patricia guerrero, the first latina to serve as chief justice of california's supreme court. >> the fight to get addicts off the streets. >> when you look at our overdose

death rates, they're just getting worse. >> it can literally show up to our door, stabilize for a couple of days and then transition into long term care. >> the effort to save lives and the hurdles still in the way. plus i went through the interview process at google and i guess it went well because here i am. >> yes, indeed. >> from high school graduate to google employee, we catch up with the palo alto teenager whose story has gone viral since you saw it here on abc7

welcome to big tobacco's fantasyland. a new, healthier world without cigarettes. as long as you don't count the 6 trillion sold worldwide every year. and vaping won't lead to smoking, if you ignore the research that says otherwise.

in big tobacco's fantasyland, the deadliest industry is your friend. shh... san francisco mayor london breed recently argued that it's easier to access drugs than treatment facing the worst drug crisis in the city's history, the mayor

has said no more handouts without mandatory treatment than abc7. >> news reporter leanne melendez is here to tell us. in reality, i mean it's really challenging to offer the treatment without the necessary staff or beds, but you hear all the time what do we need in the city? >> treatment. treatment treatment. that's all you hear. where are we going to get the staff, as you point out? what about these, you know, all these treatment centers? so, you know, because the reality is when it comes to the drugs that are out on the streets, fentanyl is perhaps the hardest one to get off. now, two weeks ago, the mayor said that 80 people were approached and asked if they wanted treatment on demand and only one person said yes, that's all right. >> that's all right. >> it's noon in the tenderloin. san francisco police do a wellness check of this couple apparently unresponsive of a young man. finally emerges. but there's concern that his partner may need help here. give me my papers. >> police eventually leave after

she refused to request assistance from a street crisis team for years. >> treatment for drug users and those needing mental health care has been the focus of conversation among city officials. our goal, as i said, is consistently to get people into treatment and support that they need. >> let's focus on first recovery, and they're the ones who are most at risk for fatal overdoses. >> we should be doing everything we can except that. >> where are they planning to house all these people who need treatment? and how is the city able to afford the care that they need? >> this is the harbor light withdrawal management program. there's a total of 40 beds. >> of the 40 beds, ten are funded by the san francisco health department and five by the adult probation department. but their community partners sponsor another five. that leaves 20 empty beds. so you're saying that there are 40 beds here and the health department

funds only ten when they could be funding more, more correct. >> we have. >> why don't they? >> it's a good question. >> the same question that supervisor kathryn stephanie asked the health department during a recent hearing. >> and i'm just wondering, i know that there's 20 contracted withdrawal management beds at harbor light and wondering if dpi has considered purchasing those. >> i think we're looking at multiple options, including that according to harbor light. >> if the health department were to fund those 20 extra beds, there would also be extra revenue to hire more staff to meet the demand for care. kind of like the chicken and the egg. as of today, those 20 beds are not being used and it's a citywide problem. >> not enough of the right kind of places for people and then not enough of the right kind of staff to staff those places. >> i think we should definitely fund the beds at harbor light. there's definitely a need for it. when you look at our overdose death rates, they're

just getting worse. >> on the other hand, is the health department has invested in the only substance use sober center in san francisco called soma. rise coincided mentally the number of beds available there is 20. so more rise is operated by the nonprofit healthright 360 with a $7.4 million budget over two years, which means that each bed, whether occupied or not, ends up costing $506 a day. harbor light points out that each bed in there withdrawal management program operated by the salvation army costs the city $110 a day. they work hand in hand, but they're not the same. the health department has a point harbor light takes in people who have already made the decision to get clean and they support them through that rough period. while soma rise only serves people who are using drugs, the moment they walk through that door. so let's be clear. they are not here to seek

treatment. >> some folks come in to seek treatment. but i will tell you, because this is such a low barrier program, most folks that are coming here initially are just looking for a safe place to rest, to sort of stabilize from their drug use. take a break, a pause in their day, their routine. >> we were invited inside, but with the condition that we not take any video of the patients, something we would never do. instead they provided us with some of their photos at soma rise, a medical technician is there to make an initial health assessment. they are then fed offered a warm shower and a chance to sleep it off while being monitored in case of a possible overdose. patients are only allowed to stay for 24 hours at that point, they can ask for help to get into treatment. otherwise they are back on the streets. nothing is mandated and nothing comes with conditions. so make the argument if you did not exist, what would

happen to the people who are using drugs out here? >> well, they'd they'd be in isolation in in alleyways. they'd be on the streets. they'd be on the sidewalks and they'd be in crisis from their substance use the health department also makes the argument that the cost per bed is much lower than if they were to end up in the emergency room. >> we know emergency rooms are extremely expensive and makes it difficult for other people to access care, they say from january to june of this year, they have referred 250 patients to a withdrawal manager and treatment program and 90 people to offsite residential treatment centers means while harbor light allows patients to transition from the withdrawal management program to residential treatment right there on site it so they can literally show up to our door and ring the bell, come into our withdrawal management program, stabilize for a couple of days, and then transition into long term care at our

residential treatment program on this campus. >> there, we were invited to meet zach wolf, a recovering fentanyl addict who says he was once ready to take his own life. i went out and stole a bunch of stuff from the store and i was going to use that to fund the money to overdose and kill myself as i'm going to sell my stuff, i get arrested because i had a warrant for missing court. >> and i kind of see that as divine intervention. and god was doing for me what i couldn't do for myself, which was put the drugs down. >> he's been sober for nine months. another outspoken supporter of so called mandy ated treatment is tom wolf. >> i was already in jail facing accountability for the crimes that i was committing, and then i was given an option to go to treatment as a way to get out of jail. >> what's it going to take in san francisco for this not to exist? >> that's a good question. i don't have an answer for that, only because i have done so many tours here. i've seen the data.

i think we've got a big problem. we've got a huge problem. in fact, i would ask, what's it going to take for san francisco, though, to continue opening more of these programs but keep in mind that san francisco is currently spending $650 million a year to fund these health programs, which include substance use and addiction. >> so, again, can the city afford more centers like this one? you know, this has to be the most challenging moment in san francisco. >> and can the city get more for its money? i mean, clearly they're spending a lot. yeah with results. >> you can find success stories, but it seems like it's disproportional. the number of people that actually need the help and are seeking the help. leon thank you. sure. all right. coming up, the high cost of going back to the office. plus, you know, halloween right around the corner. free candy on halloween. not quite what you think there it is. that feeling you get... when you can du more with less asthma. it starts with dupixent.

dupixent is not for sudden breathing problems. it's an add-on treatment for specific types of moderate-to-severe asthma. and can help improve lung function for better breathing in as little as two weeks. dupixent helps prevent asthma attacks... and can even reduce or eliminate oral steroids. can you picture it? dupixent can cause allergic reactions that can be severe. get help right away if you have rash, chest pain, worsening shortness of breath, tingling or numbness in your limbs. tell your doctor about new or worsening joint aches and pain, or a parasitic infection. don't change or stop asthma medicines, including steroids, without talking to your doctor. who knows what you can do when you du more with less asthma. ask your asthma specialist about dupixent.

and i got the answer today right from stanley xiong himself. he says it all started when he was doing a project with amazon and someone encouraged him to apply there. >> that brought me back to the remembering a email i got back, i think, in 2019, which was from a google recruiter. and when i

told that google recruiter, hey, you know, i'm 13 right now, i can't really hold down a full time job. they said, okay, yeah, that's fine. circle back when you're older and so i thought, hey, you know, i'm already talking to amazon. might as well talk t i guess, you know, i went through the interview process at google and i guess it went well because here i am. >> there he is with the offer letter and all. and he just went through his first week of training today. stanley story really went viral around the world on social media. it was in the india times, it was in the uk. daily mail after he spoke with us earlier this week at abc7 news. why do you guys think it strikes such a chord? what do you think, dan well, i think he's incredibly bright, articulate guy. >> obviously he's got a lot going for him. no surprise he didn't get into those schools. he only had a 4.2 and a 15.4. yeah who would who would accept? yeah. right. who would let a kid like that into a college? no, it's ridiculous that he didn't

get into every school he applied for. actually, that says something in itself. but i just think it strikes a chord. you know, college is not always for everyone at the right time. he mentioned i know on your show today, kristin, he may go back at some point and i suspect he probably will choose to do that. but you know, it's just right place, right time. he's got a lot going for him and clearly he's going to have a bright future. >> yeah. and he's a brilliant young man and he'll probably make wise choices. and maybe he has made one now and deciding to work first and consider college later. >> it's kind of like going to the nba before you finish school and like, go back and finish school. right now. he's got a great opportunity or buy your own school after your time in the nba. >> also, credit to google for recognizing, hey, he's young, but he's also talented. yeah. i mean, i had a lot of opportunities at age 13 from large corporations, but i decided to do this paper routes babysitting those ones. >> i had. >> stanley, we may all want to work for you someday. just. exactly. >> yeah. when you're in charge, if your job has brought you back to the office, you're not going to like this. it's costing you money. a new survey from owl lab

finds us workers who are back in the office full time spend an extra $51 per day on average. so $255 per week compared to remote workers. uh- expenses include gas, parking and food and in-office pet owners spend an additional $20 for pet care if that's allowed in your particular workplace. but i don't know that number. dan yeah, i mean, well, you worked at home for like a year and a half, right? >> yeah. and you know, that's you save money on lunches. larry gasoline, it's 51. >> that seems a little high per day. but still, there's clearly savings. i mean, you're going to eat food wherever you are. >> well, you think here i mean, a bridge toll is eight bucks. yeah, nine bucks a lunch is going to be 20, whatever it is. gasoline i don't know. you could add up pretty quickly. >> it adds up very quickly. you're right, dan, i think since we came in every day, we need to larry fork over some of his savings to us. >> subsidize? yes. you guys look like i like that plan. >> kristin. yeah, i know, right? >> you were working from home also. spencer so not as long as

you. >> not as long as you. okay. okay. >> you two can split the cost. yeah. >> oh, that's. that's benevolent of you. >> just buy us lunch, all right? yeah. we're not entirely sure how well this is going to work, but m&ms is promising to save the day if you run out of candy this halloween, its parent company is rolling out a rescue squad that will deliver free m&ms to your door if you're running low. mars is teaming up with delivery service gopuff, which will bring the candy to you in an hour or less. we checked and gopuff does deliver here in the bay area. that's pretty cool. >> emergency m&ms. yeah i know. >> i've often felt it's been an emergency in my house if i run out of it. yeah that's true. yeah, but i wonder. that seems like a cute idea. great promotion, obviously, and a nice thing to do, but it seems, you know, the great possibility of abuse. i mean, how do they know you ran out versus. i didn't buy any to begin with. and i just tell them, oh, yeah, maybe you have to produce one and show them, this is my last m&m, but it's only available until supplies run out.

>> there's only one left. is it an m&m or just an m? >> it's just a m. yeah. that's a good point. >> if you're superstitious, is there anything spookier than today? friday the 13th? yeah, it's not the only common superstition. there's also crossing paths with a black cat walking under a ladder, breaking a mirror. the only when i look at it, opening an umbrella indoors and spilling salt, i probably done most of these. no wonder. no wonder things have turned out the way they have. you're cursed. yes. any any superstitions, chris? >> widely christian. >> um, like if you drop and break a mug. something ceramic or something like that, you know ? yeah. so then i have to go out and buy another one to replace it. but is that a superstition or is that just a idiocy secrecy? >> you know, i'm not superstitious really? yeah. >> yeah. i think it's a weird quirk that i have. >> i mean, it's probably not a great idea to stand under a ladder or walk under it anyway,

i mean, regardless, that's where you get the bad luck. >> yeah, no, right, exactly. >> yeah, that's just bad judgment, right? >> yeah. >> which then leads to, i guess, things that would happen to you if you had bad luck, right? yeah. >> i wonder if it's easier to get dinner reservations on friday the 13th because superstitious people don't go out. >> you know, that's actually an interesting question, spencer. who knows? >> i don't know. >> the inquiring minds want to know. >> this demands a survey hungry minds. >> yeah, that too. >> there's that many people that are following these rules and guidelines that carefully. but they're too busy ordering m&ms. >> well, happy friday the 13th. yeah. yeah all right. >> that's it for but his vision dimmed with age. he had amd. i didn't know it then, but it can progress to ga, an advanced form of the disease. his struggle with vision loss from amd made me want to help you see warning signs of ga. like straight lines that seem wavy, blurry, or missing visual spots that make it hard to see faces like this one,

eclipse. it's called the ring of fire. and that eclipse will be visible tomorrow in the western hemisphere. and we got the big map here. so you can see exactly the path it's going to take on this graphic. university of san francisco astronomy professor andrew fraknoi tells us what you can expect to see. >> the moon gets in front of the sun and hides it. and if you're in a path where the moon shadow falls on earth, you will see the moon not quite covering the sun, but leaving a ring behind just like we're showing here on the graphic. now, the bay area is not in that path. you have to be up in oregon to see the full effect. but we're still going to have an interesting path, partial eclipse where some 80% of the sun will be covered tomorrow morning by the moon.

>> professor fraknoi says you shouldn't look directly at the sun, but he says you do have another option. >> take out your calendar to stand with your back to the sun. hold the cullen tower over your shoulder and let the shadow of the calendar fall on the pavement. each little hole in the calendar will show you the eclipse sun. >> well, that's kind of cool. yeah. there's an easier way to do this. you can see the eclipse by going to abc seven news.com. leave your calendar in the kitchen. we'll stream it live tomorrow starting at 9 a.m. cloudy permitting? >> yes. oh, that is the question . >> i'm worried about those clouds or we might not be seeing many shadows. here's a look at our live doppler seven image. actually, this is our forecast animation starting at 5 p.m. notice we've got clouds right now and some light scattered showers will be moving through mainly the north bay during the overnight and early morning hours. now we expect the showers to end by early morning, but the

clouds will linger for much of the day tomorrow. so that's why it's sort of iffy as to whether we'll get a good view of the eclipse, except in the south bay, where the clouds will be a bit thinner. overnight, low temperature will be mainly in the mid to upper 50s. highs tomorrow mid 60s at the coast, low to mid 70s around the bay shoreline mid to upper 70s will be the highs inland. and here's the accuweather seven day forecast. sunday will be sunnier and a bit warmer than tomorrow, but then we get a few more clouds coming in on monday. sort of an unsettled weather picture. on monday, it cools down a little bit, but then it starts to warm up again on tuesday and that warming trend will continue for virtually all of next week kristen. all right. >> looking pretty good overall. thanks, spencer. disney is celebrating its 100th anniversary this year. and this weekend, disney's getting a little help from kelly ripa. >> so on sunday night, i'm hosting the wonderful world of disney, disney's 100th animal, and anniversary celebration. >> yes. >> you remember the wonderful world of disney. na na na na na

goosebumps fans and we want them to be proud of it. and that's that's first and foremost on our minds always. but it also works for people who don't know anything about goosebumps. the uninitiated are. introduction to horror for kids who want to want to see something that's like legitimately kind of scary. >> and it's also for people who love horror, who are our age, the two executive producers are the fathers of teenagers. >> do you ever go to them with questions us about the material? >> do i consult them? you know, no, because they'd be weirded out if i consulted them. honestly, um, i observed, though i do observe love and stuff kind of seeps in. um, which would embarrass them deeply. i get those goosebumps every time. >> i do not want this to be a show that talks down to kids. i want this to be a show that kids are like, yeah, that's my life. and so i just try to be as

respectful as possible. i would walk by. >> hutton i'm sandy kenyon, abc seven news. >> goosebumps. the tv series is now streaming on disney plus and hulu owned by the same parent company as us here at abc seven. speaking of streaming, abc seven news is streaming 24 over seven. get the abc seven bay area streaming tv app and that will let you join us whenever you want wherever you are and it's free. all right. that's going to do it for this edition of abc seven news at four. i'm larry beal. abc seven news with dan and amy at five is coming up and amy at five is coming up next at. i'm just the flu.
