tonight with the exception of some coastal locations. highs will range this afternoon from upper 80s to upper 90s near 100 heat related illness is always a possibility under conditions like this, with such excessive heat. and of course, as the temperatures rise, the air quality declines. today, as they spare the air day moderate to poor air quality at best. and we have a high surf advisory in effect also until 7:00 this evening. so even if you want to escape to the beaches there are hazards to be on the lookout for. jobina >> thank you, spencer. good morning, everybody. so we are going to start with our richmond-san rafael bridge camera because the sig alert that we thought would be canceled today remains in effect. all three lanes in the westbound direction are closed there due to a deadly crash from last week. wide load vehicles are not allowed on the bridge. you must take highway 37 to get into the north bay. the bay bridge toll plaza here. metering lights came on at 542. and also we want to bring in video from our newsroom of an earlier crash that was reported around 1:00 this morning involving a muni bus and a pedestrian. this was

at venice and o'farrell. it was closed until about 45 minutes ago. so all lanes have reopened. so want to let you know about that update. but we do not unfortunately know the condition of the pedestrian involved in this crash. kumasi >> thank you, jobina some of you may have been startled to say the least, by a test earthquake alert on your phone overnight. and for many people that alert came seven hours before it was supposed to as a part of the great california shakeout. abc7 news reporter lena howland joining us live from pleasanton with what you need to know about that and about the test today. lena >> hey, kumasi. bart is one of several organizations across the state taking part in the great california shakeout today. they all to make sure that everyone is prepared for the next big earthquake. now, some of you may have already gotten what appears to be a misfire of the alert sent out a full seven hours early at 319 this morning, we are still waiting to hear back from the myshake team on why

that was sent so early. but here's what's actually supposed to happen later on this morning, right at 1019, anyone with the myshake app, including bart riders, will receive a notification. that's a test. and in that moment, everyone participating will be asked to drop cover and hold on as if it was a real earthquake. bart says once there shakealert is triggered, trains will automatically slow down to 27mph before coming to a very brief stop. bart will make a system wide public announcement on all trains at that moment, encouraging riders to be prepared for earthquakes. and they'll also be testing their earthquake alarms to make sure they're working. it's something my shake up users should already be familiar with after the app alerted folks across the bay area to an earthquake in isleton yesterday, alert is operating very, very quickly. >> shakealert is not prediction. it's saying an earthquake has happened and we're going to let you know that the shaking is about to reach you. so everything is happening very, very quickly. this means we

could use maybe half a second or one second of data from a station. and if that station happens to have a not great estimate, that can impact the system. >> and for the first time in recent years, bart will also be adding simulated damage inspections during the earthquake test with 60 engineers fanned out to all 50 stations. when the alert goes off, they'll be inspecting things like walkways, support structures, elevators and escalators. now you can still participate in the great california shakeout happening at 1019 this morning. just make sure you have the myshake alert downloaded on your phone live in pleasanton, lena howland, abc seven news. thank you, lena. >> and we want to make sure you and your family are prepared for whenever the next earthquake hits. you can go to abc7 news.com slash prepare nor-cal. we have a guide of things that you can do right now to get ready. >> president biden is back at the white house this morning after his wartime visit to israel. the president made it clear the us stands with israel and jobina. he also announced this deal to provide new help

palestinian military. but arab leaders accused israel's military of bombing the hospital, which triggered protests across the region. people shouted anti-israel and anti american slogans. israel denied it was involved with the explosion. last night, president biden said justice must be done, but cautioned people to not be consumed with rage. kumasi. >> thank you, jobina. students across the bay area joined a national walkout calling for a cease fire in gaza. marches were held from berkeley to san francisco. more than 100 teens taking to the streets outside of galileo high school in the city yesterday. >> they have been seeing horrific images on the tv of people getting killed. you know, a million people getting displaced in palestine. how does it feel to be walking with so many of your fellow students today? >> it feels powerful. it feels like my voice is actually heard in a lot of times. it hasn't been. you just need to be human.

safety of the world leaders, the attendees coming to the apec summit. but as well as the general public here in san francisco, the secret service will close 12 blocks around the moscone center. >> and the part of the central subway that runs underneath the security zone will also be closed. and this is major for apec runs november 11th through the 17th. >> governor newsom is going to china next week for a high profile trip. he's visited china several times over the years, including when he was a city official and mayor of san francisco. it's not clear whether or not there are plans for him to meet with chinese president xi jinping. the governor's office says he'll be focusing on climate issues and advancing cultural technologic and economic collaboration between california and china. still to come, oakland's plan to cut down on car thefts that have increased by more than 50% since this time last year. and a scary moment for a carnival worker when he gets stuck 30ft in the

about 30ft in the air after a mishap on a ride. officials say the worker was loading the ride when a gust of wind picked up and it started to move it around. the worker held on because there was a kid inside. and so he was trying to protect that kid. and thank goodness he

did. the other workers eventually were able to get to it, and they got this worker back to the ground. no one was hurt, but but obviously, this ride was closed for the day. should should wind be able to push you up like that? because i'm thinking no. well i don't know. >> spencer lynn can do straight edge things. >> i guess it can. >> that's one of the strangest things i've seen. but man, what a brave guy that is. >> no kidding. and also the upper body strength. >> yes. and that he held on for sure. we're going to need some strength today to get through this heat advisory which covers the entire bay area, with the exception of a couple of coastal areas. high temperatures will range from upper 80s to near 100. and the hottest spots, of course, in this kind of excessive heat. heat related illnesses are always a possibility and the air quality is declining. so today is a spare the air day as the temperatures go up, the air quality goes down. on we go to the high surf advisory now you're looking to escape the heat. you think all let's go out to the beaches. well that might not be a good idea either. as wave heights are excessively elevated, large breakers up to 17 to 22ft, rip currents and

wife has received messages warning her to convince her husband to support jordan. an iowa congresswoman, mariannette miller-meeks, says she has received, quote, credible death threats and calls that are threatening jordan lost a second bid for speaker yesterday, getting just 199 of the 217 votes he needs, losing support from the first vote. but he says he's not giving up. >> proven i can get from the most conservative members of the conference to the more moderate members of conference. >> meanwhile, with 28 days until a possible government shutdown and president biden calling on congress to provide funding for israel, even jordan's allies say it may be time to consider other options. a bipartisan group is now looking at ways to possibly operate the house by giving more power to the tempoorary house speaker. republicans say they're meeting today to figure out the next steps and may even schedule another vote on jordan. reggie >> thanks, jobina. still to come, the silicon valley company about to do a round of layoffs.
