over the last hour, but at this point, i just got off the phone with alameda fire and they said that the four fires there are four separate brush fires and they are now controlled and contained. so that's very, very good news. this started out strangely as four separate brush fires. let's take a look at sky seven. we got a great bird's eye view of it all. this is on the east side of highway 13 between redwood and the redwood road exit and joaquin miller. it's on the upslope along the freeway corridor. it quickly went to a three alarm fire. they treated these four separate brush fires as a single fire, 50 to 60 firefighters here near holy names university. no evacuations, no homes threatened, no structures threatened. but of course, quite worrisome to have these flames and smoke apparent along this highway 13 corridor near highway

13. northbound remains closed starting at five 8-80 junction northward. so expect traffic jams in the east bay. southbound still flowing smoothly there was when we first arrived on the scene, smoke in the air. it has since dissipated as you're driving southbound, you could certainly see those spot fires, those patches of it. alameda fire told me that in conjunction with oakland fire, they're both working the scene. they are now calling in alameda county mutual aid hand crews and those hand crews should be on site rapid lee here and they will begin the mop up. they'll begin looking for hotspots. they'll be here for several more hours. no word on when the road reopens in the east bay. i'm leslie brinkly, abc seven news. >> all right, leslie, thank you. yeah. >> and hopefully they get 13 north open back up for all those drivers soon. good afternoon i'm karina nova. >> and i'm dan ashley. thanks for joining us. now to today's

could indeed say that captivated for many, but frightening for some. >> my camera crew and i were just driving around the city looking for the sights and sounds of apec preparations. when we got diverted to something that sounded alarming at first. at first glance, these orange clad climbers on san francisco's iconic transamerica pyramid caused a bit of concern. >> we got scared. we thought something else was going on as bystanders tilted their necks. >> flashbacks of this anti-abortion activist scaling salesforce tower in 2022 came to mind. >> i assumed it might be a little protest going on because part of the whole apec thing. >> upon closer inspection, it was clear these were artists. this trio's impressive choreography is the work of nonprofit bandaloop, who says they were asked by the city and the transamerica pyramido kick off apec. >> we perform and dance on buildings all over the world. we're trying to bring unity through the joy of public art, the sense of awe and disorientation and disruption is

something that we welcome as part of the impact of our work. >> sfpd chief bill scott has warned those who choose less legal forms of distraction because this is a national special security event. >> the us secret service is the lead as far as the security on this event, and we could not ask for a better partner to lead this event in other parts of the city. >> a noticeable increase in security. >> i think we haven't been robbed yet so we can't complain and clean up efforts are clear. >> this alleyway off van ness avenue, known for homeless encampments in recent years, was empty, minus some debris. it's something visitors at pier 39 noticed, too. >> the interesting part is seeing them clean the city up, seeing all the highway patrols, staying at our hotel and all the barricades. they put up yesterday, i saw many homeless people around the city. >> but but today i think the they broke or something. yeah, not to burst one's bubble, but with closed roads and 20,000 people expected to descend on

san francisco this week, some hope it won't scare other tourists away. >> and i have to say there are more people here today than i even expected. maybe people have decided to come out today, you know, before the rain hits us. >> and speaking of that rain, according to spencer, that is expected to move in shortly after midnight. as for this evening, i'm actually hosting the business advisory council gala where mayor breed, secretary of the treasury janet yellen and more are expected to attend in san francisco, diane lim, abc seven news. >> that is wonderful. diane i know it'll be a terrific event. thanks very much. >> all right. the popular rainbow lasers are returning to market street this evening and we captured video from our sutro camera of the lasers being tested this morning. organizers are calling the beams a gift to the people of apac from the city of san francisco. the art installation will shine through downtown all week. >> now there's a lot happening, of course, inside moscone center

for a meeting of apec finance. ministers. now, this was basically an outline of what will be discussed over the week. yellen challenged the 21 member economies to work together to boost their economic productivity, but to do it while transitioning to sustainable energy sources and in a way that reduces inequality. we need to put ourselves on a sustained growth path. >> one one where we safeguard our planet while providing our economies with the clean energy they need to grow. >> the topic will dominate this. >> yellen also talked about digital and cryptocurrencies. the us wants to hear from countries that are embracing blockchain technology, so that is a priority now, in addition to ministers and official meetings, there will be some bilateral meetings on the side. those are the one on ones and of course the biggest one that everyone's watching is president biden and chinese president xi. on wednesday this is video from a previous meeting last year. they'll try to come to some sort of broad consensus statement

regarding unity in fighting climate change. while growing, of course, the region's economy and prosperity. for all. with me now is elaine forbes, the executive director of the port of oakland. very important. did i say oakland? i'm sorry? of course. oakland is where all the, you know, products from from asia come in. but here in san francisco, you also play a very vital role in the port. tell folks why the waterfront is so central. >> oh, thank you. it is absolutely one of the most beautiful places in the world, of course, where the city meets the bay. it's our historic beginning here at the port of san francisco. and we face risks and we face very serious risks relative to earthquake, which is any time but sea level rise, which is the patient problem that is coming before us. and we've been doing some really innovative work talking about partnerships with the army corps of engineers and our city departments and other agencies to figure out how the heck do we save our urban shoreline and create a waterfront in the future that's ready for a big

earthquake and ready for sea level rise. >> can we talk about why that is part of the apec conversation here? because i know you're doing some innovative pilot work that you're trying to demonstrate to the other member economies. >> yes. so this is very important to the apec work because we're talking about sustainable city. we're talking about the impacts of climate. this is an existential threat and we're on the other side of adaptation and mitigation. we are doing things that are important for ecology, energy, like we're trying to figure out what texture to put the seawall. so the fisheries are protected. so critters like to live and thrive. there's small things, but big things we can do for bay water quality for our fisheries. and we're thinking a lot about adaptation and nature based solutions. so the seawall of the future is really, really welcoming both of ecology and of the future values we have. >> all right. for folks who aren't understand why this is so important to our region's economy and vitality, can you talk about that? >> well, san francisco waterfront is a very essential

economic engine. there are so many people working, visiting, thriving along the waterfront. but it also protects protects $100 billion of assets, including infrastructure that we all rely on. the bart, the muni, the puc utility is all working and being protected by that seawall on the water's edge. >> got it. all right. it's an expensive effort, but it's an investment that we need to start making. finally i can't let you go without asking you, how are folks liking the ferris wheel at the waterfront so far? this new home? >> we're really excited about the ferris wheel. so the waterfront is sparkling, it's clean, it's vibrant. and to get this new major experience, i mean, can you imagine the beautiful sweeping views to bridges, all the historic facilities, the whole bay? it's just going to be such spectacular views for everyone. >> so done deal. it's going to stay there. that's its permanent home. >> well, it's here for six months and we'll see what we think. >> if it's going to stay longer, we'll be talking to our port commission and the board of supervisors. >> all right. elaine forbes,

early tomorrow morning, we get a surge of rain. it'll move some of it will move through the central part of the bay area. the south bay may south bay may get a few sprinkles, but the greater, heavier, steadier rain will hit the north bay tomorrow before we get a little bit of a break late tomorrow, but then tomorrow night, another surge of moisture shower showers and light rain will continue into wednesday and wednesday night. so by 11:00 wednesday night, we're looking at rainfall totals away from the coast in the north bay, generally under a 10th of an inch. but look at the coast, nearly a quarter of an inch at half moon bay and up in the north bay, even wetter. and there's more to follow. the next two days after wednesday, i'll have the full forecast a little bit later. dan and karina. >> okay, thank you, spencer. well with rain in the forecast this week, are we really ready to wrap up fire season for the year? you're going to hear what firefighters have to say about that. >> also ahead, find out what happened in court for the trial of the man charged with attacking paul pelosi. and ten days to thanksgiving. >> see who's betting that this year's holiday travel season will be busier tha

intentionally. >> the governor did not say whether there were any suspects or persons of interest. the columns of i-10 were charred and guardrails damaged after a nearby storage yard went up in flames saturday morning. crews shored up the most damaged section, but it's still unclear when the freeway will actually reopen. in san leandro, an argument and a chili's parking lot ended with a man allegedly killing his stepdaughter. san leandro police say 48 year old samuel langer, they pulled a gun from his car and shot his partner's adult daughter after an argument broke out at the bayfair center. chili's. langworthy escaped and managed to get all the way to coalinga, but was eventually captured by the chp. the gun used in the attack has not yet been found. >> as you heard from spencer, we are expecting rain this week in the north bay. public works crews are clearing storm drains to avert possible flooding. firefighters are hopeful the rain will close the books on this year's fire season. abc

to be cut off from the main upper level steering flow. and that means it may just meander there for a while, which makes it difficult for us to forecast with precision rainfall totals and duration of periods of rain. anyhow, right now we've got relatively light winds, breezy air near the coast and it's cooler by several degrees than it was at this hour yesterday. so let's move along and take a live view from sutro tower looking out over san francisco, where right now it's 61 degrees. we also have low 60s at oakland mountain view, palo alto, 68 at san jose, 57 at half moon bay at the golden gate. sky looks mainly clear and blue at the moment, but clouds are dropping down from the north. it's mid low to mid 60s right now at santa rosa, novato and napa. upper 60s at fairfield, concord and livermore. and here's a view of the calm and not very heavily trafficked embarcadero right now as we take a look at our forecast headlines. light rain and showers will arrive overnight. heavy rain tomorrow likely to be in the north bay, although some areas of rain will hit other parts of the of the region. more rain and showers

will follow wednesday, thursday and friday. so let's take a look at overnight conditions as the rain starts to move in. we will see some rain in the south bay in the early, early morning hours and through the central part of the bay area. but later in the morning and into the afternoon, we'll see heavier rain surging into the north bay overnight lows mainly in the upper 40s to low 50s. so relatively mild overnight highs tomorrow, low to mid 60s at the coast, upper 60s to about 70. near the bay and upper 60s to near 70 degrees inland. now the approaching storm is a level one storm on the exclusive abc seven storm impact scale. so tonight through wednesday we expect periods of light rain, light rain will arrive overnight. heavier rain once again in the north bay by morning, of course, we'll have scattered showers following that in roadways and no doubt will be wet and slick overcast overnight. forecast animation shows that surge of moisture once again. and there's your pattern of steady or heavy rain moving through the north bay tomorrow with what we expect to be a little bit of a break in the action late afternoon, early evening tomorrow before the next surge of showers and light rain starts to push in late tomorrow

night into wednesday and through the day, wednesday into wednesday night. it's still not ending until later in the week. so with this pattern, here's how it looks right now. showers, pockets of heavy rain, wettest period tuesday, late tomorrow through early wednesday. and the timing, of course, in the amounts can change because of the nature of that system that i showed you. here's the accuweather seven day forecast through friday. we're talking about level one storm activity with showers lingering possibly into saturday. it's going to be a wet week for apec, an exciting week, an interesting week and a week of perhaps interesting traffic jams that is because of the rain and the number of people here. >> that's a good point. yeah, all right. >> thanks, tom. doesn't help. all right. thanks gavin. all right. coming up next, the unconventional plan that could keep the federal government funded past friday and avoid a shutdown

east bay. any problems for you? i had the same experience you had. >> dan i whizzed in in no time at all, even though, as you did, i gave myself extra time. didn't need it today. but if i'm going to be driving the rest of the week, i'm sure i will need it then. so maybe i'll take liane's advice and do public transportation. or i can borrow your helicopter. >> oh, yeah, sure. >> i'll swing by your house, pick you up. >> i will say i loved seeing the ferris wheel at fisherman's wharf and that i saw a lot of tour groups walking around. that's fun and exploring our beautiful city. so that was good. okay. the supreme court is adopting a new code of conduct. it's an attempt to improve public confidence in the high court. after months of headlines alleging some justices appear to have potential ethics violations, the new code is based on an existing code of conduct for lower courts. the justices didn't make clear how the code would be enforced, and they acknowledged they had more work to do should the court be allowed to write its own code? and leanne, you're one of the most ethical people i know. so i'm going to ask you.

>> well, my response to that is finally, you know, i started studying the supreme court when i was in high school, and i thought they were god's gift to mankind, and especially when supreme court justice sonia sotomayor was nominated for the supreme court, that was one of the happiest moments in my life. but like so many of us, i think many people in this country have come to realize that they're not perfect, that they make mistakes as well. and really, there is no room for these people, these justices, to be unethical. in fact, they should have the word ethical stamped on their forehead. >> spencer well, i agree. the supreme court has always enjoyed a certain separation from the other branches, but that doesn't mean it's not shouldn't be accountable. and i think there should be some accountability and filing of information that relates to financial dealings and ethics. but who should write

those rules? i don't know. well but i think certainly rules are warranted, given what's happened in the last few years, given some some lapses in ethics on the supreme court. >> all right. tesla cybertruck owners could face extreme penalties if they attempt to resell their new vehicle. while the electric car company says cybertruck owners cannot resell the truck in the first year to a third party. first year. if they do, they could be banned from purchasing a tesla vehicle ever again and could be fined at least 50,000 owners can only sell it back to tesla or receive written consent from the company to sell to a third party. i know what they're trying to do. spencer is prevent sort of their version of ticket scalping and control the cost. but i have mixed feelings about this. if i buy the truck and i decide six months later, i don't want it. it's a free country. >> that's how i feel in a nutshell right there. >> yeah. and if someone's willing to pay double the price, i guess that's on them, right?

>> that's fine. and that doesn't, by the way, liane, that doesn't hurt them at the retail level. >> if it's more expensive on the secondary market to go in and buy a tesla from the dealership, that doesn't hurt the dealership. >> yeah. and you know, my advice to you know, elon musk is well, have it your way, have it your way, because those trucks are are really ugly. and i am not going to buy one. so there you go. end of story, period. full stop. >> mike, drop some younger people think they're cool looking. i agree, leanne. i think they're hideous. >> i agree. the most attractive vehicles i've ever seen. >> all right. so everybody is out for even buying it from tesla or re buying, right? okay we're good to go. thanksgiving is just ten days away, and today we're getting a first look at what experts predict holiday travel will look like. here's a hint. it will be busy. abc7 news reporter zach fuentes has the details. >> millions are just days away from taking off for holiday travel. experts at triple a just released its 2023 thanksgiving travel forecast and it reveals a lot of information that could impact travelers over 55 million
