mountains. people were bracing for some of the worst damage in at least 20 years. and that's exactly what happened. this is biltmore village right now. this is right near the historic biltmore mansion. normally, this is a busy tourist area with shops and restaurants that connects downtown. now you see it is impassable. it is an entire river right here. they have it blocked off right here. thankfully, it has now started to recede. but you see some of the leftover boats right here. that's because there are about 100 people who were stuck in a hotel that had to be brought here to safety, and that's just part of the problems that we're dealing with. obviously catastrophic damage to some of these historic buildings in this area. and it's only going to be once that water recedes that we'll see the full extent of the damage. but throughout ashevill, even in downtown asheville, we've seen downed trees, downed power lines, hundreds of thousands of people still without power in this part of north carolina. and it's still unclear when that power is going to come back on. but thankfully, it appears the worst is over right now. but catastrophic damage here in asheville, north

ingredients are the same. so the way i explain it to patients is that you still have the same brownie recipe. you might use a little bit more chocolate, but it's the same ingredients, so you don't really have the time with an updated vaccine every year, like the flu vaccine to go through to start from zero. >> doctor chin-hong also said covid tests should work on the new covid variant, which is named zeke. but if you have symptoms and you get a negative result, wait a day, then take another test. >> there will soon be a new place in san francisco to celebrate and preserve the city's rich lgbtq history. this morning, mayor london breed unveiled the sign for what will be the home of the glbt historical society. the society's historic museum has been looking for a new, larger home for years. the new space off of market in know streets is more than eight times larger than its current spot on 18th street. >> we're just excited that we're

even the non-special ones, right? you guys, what happens? because there's often a tug. like who actually got it or you touched it, but then you ended up grabbing it because it fell out of your hands. like, what's the ownership? >> like, what's what's the rule? ripping it from a kid's hands. yeah. >> well, i believe possession is 9/10 of the law. is what the old saying is. but, you know, the very same thing happened with barry bonds record home run ball number 73 at, you know. well, i can't even remember what the park was called at that point. they changed the name. so many times. but, but but anyway, so that case went to court and the judge ruled that i don't know which one of you got the ball. yeah. there's no way to determine that. and so he said, you know, like split it down the middle and sell the ball. and you guys, you get half, you get half and everybody goes home. they didn't split the ball in half. >> just the money. >> no. just yes. just yeah. the balls are probably at the hall of fame but yeah. but yeah. you know it's one of those things where probably neither party is

really that happy. yeah. but you're getting something out of it. and but you know, obviously, you know, if a little kid has the ball, you know, it's kind of rude for an adult if that's what really happened. i, you know, it's hard to tell in the scuffle there, but you know, yeah, it is what it is. >> one time i almost caught a foul ball land in my hand first. ouch. you know, i was too dumb to pull out my purse and open it up and use that to catch it. and then. so it bounced to the guy next to me, kind of, sort of behind me. and. and then they kept it. i thought they might be nice and say, here, you take it. right? since i took the hit, but no, they kept it. they were all happy. and so, i mean, i guess they possessed it. so it was theirs. right. >> you didn't say. >> it's kind of not. who touched it first, but who touched it last? yeah. i was just going to say. >> yeah. yeah. >> it is. you didn't play the kristen sze card, which would have just. >> you didn't say that? >> yeah, i'm sure it would have been thrown out of the ballpark. >> you could have said, don't you know i'm sandhya patel? oh, yeah. come on.

>> that's. sorry. >> i hear that carries a little weight. >> yeah, yeah, in some in some quarters. it actually does. >> oh, gosh. it's an inside joke. don't listen to them. >> okay. uh, a bombastic fire chief in maine is raising a lot of eyebrows. the chief wants to start billing residents for nuisance calls that firefighters respond to. you're talking about like distracted driving, crashes and faulty fire alarm calls. i mean, this is pretty blunt here with the chief, nathan guptill of the livermore falls fire department calling the proposal the idiot clause. the chief says he wants to send bills to insurance companies to cover the cost of response that fall under this clause, and locals are saying, hey, this is ridiculous. the tax dollars that we pay that pays the salaries of the fire department, all the calls that they tend to, including false alarms. so where does everybody weigh in on this? and again, it's in livermore, but not our livermore. right. okay. so that's that's good to keep in mind here. >> i mean, i can understand why they would not want to respond to every single one, but that one time when there is something that could have happened, you

kind of want that, hey, i paid the tax dollars are going to a good cause and they're going to respond. i mean, you want to know that they're going to respond. if there was something that actually happened. >> well, i think they will respond. they're just going to charge you for it if it's not a legitimate call. and i would say i see both sides because they're inundated with calls. so many of them are not really emergency calls or something. they didn't really need to come to, but they have to go because we don't know that. and if people call, but sometimes if it's poor judgment or a waste of time, i'm okay with charging them. >> and i think there are some places that, you know, like if you're rescue, you climb a mountain and then you can't get off, you know, and the chopper's got to come get you. well you're paying. you're paying for that. so but in some cases, like, it could be somebody who's older who maybe makes a judgment call like, oh, i think that my house is burning down and maybe it's not burning down, but in that person's head it is. >> you know, i think that's a good point. and i think they can make, you know, some discretion there to decide when it's really careless or necessary versus

legitimate. >> i say don't charge them, just shame them. just make them pay in other ways next door. yeah all right. grab your raspberry beret and hop in your little red corvette. because now you can party like it's 1999. the original minnesota house featured in prince's film purple rain is now available to rent on airbnb. it has memorabilia on display, including some of the outfits prince wore in the movie, and a kids bathroom or bedroom is designed to be a recreation of how it looked in the film. it's available for 25 one night bookings. this fall. that's kind of cool. >> and it's not very expensive. i looked it up and it said it was like $7 per person per nigh. and i think there was, you know, like they could have 25 people at a time, something like that. i thought it would have been way, way, way more expensive. and if i got it wrong on the story that i read, i apologize. but i think i think it's pretty cool. i mean, prince is iconic. >> he's iconic. i actually saw

that movie again. i saw it years ago, a couple times. i saw it again, a couple of years ago. i would totally do that just for the experience. kind of neat idea. >> absolutely. i mean, it looks pretty cool. and if it is what you said, $7. >> i mean, that's not bad at all. what if it was 70? >> that's still fine. >> what about 700? >> i think some people would back out of it, but did you say it accommodates many? >> so it's like a hostel situation. >> it's 25, right? >> you said. i think so. and we should point out it's hostile, not hostile. just. just want to make sure everybody understands. >> it's hostile here for i consider it to be hostile on most afternoons. >> but. yeah, but prince's place is probably a safer environment. all right, that's it for the

say they've made changes to make things a little quieter. the last two years, people living in alameda said they could hear the music and feel the vibrations all the way from san francisco. the changes this year include rotating one of the stages away from the water. there will also be more shipping containers up to block sound from traveling and performances will end a little earlier on sunday night. >> the fall season of the alonzo king lines ballet opened last night, runs through sunday at the yerba buena center for the arts. >> the production is paying tribute to the groundbreaking jazz musician alice coltrane. >> abc seven news anchor julian glover spoke to the

choreographer and the dancers about the importance of this show. >> with every movement, there is a story and with every note there's a message. as these dancers put the final touches on the alonzo king lines ballet fall season premiere, go for it. >> make a big mistake. but you experiment with what you've built all your life. you want to test it. >> that is the namesake of the company, alonzo king, the visionary choreographer and ballet master. fine tuning this production. it's a nod to the legendary jazz musician alice coltrane. >> she deserves a closer look and an honor, and she's phenomenal. >> king sat down with us to discuss the personal importance of this work. >> alice was one of the first ballets that ever choreographed to years ago. she has combined the east and the west in a devotional.

return to journey into satchidananda, which is one of the works, has been, a beautiful experience because i see it differently and deeper and hear it differently. >> that's exactly what king asked of his dancers to dig deeper, to be bolder as they showcase their artistry to the world. aj sissoko has been with the lions ballet company for a decade. for her, this production is special. >> i feel like it's less me just deciding everything, but also like through the music, it's almost like it's within me and then it's guiding my movement and it guides like way i hold, how i play, how i interact with her. >> along with the premiere of the work set to the music of alice coltrane, the fall season will also feature king's latest work for the san francisco symphony, set to ravel's mother goose, a combination king is confident will leave audiences

in awe. >> when you see that audience, what do you hope they take away from this production? what do you hope they walk away with in their hearts when they leave their seats? >> well, i think you just said it. it's aimed towards the heart and the mind. and so if a hand is someplace, it's connecting with the constellation. it's going on forever and ever. and so that kind of largeness is something that is mental. but you can see on stage you can see the lions ballet fall season on stage through sunday at the yerba buena center for the arts in san francisco. >> i'm julian glover. >> so beautiful. >> the skill, the strength, the gracefulness. it's so incredible what they're able to do. yeah, definitely. >> all right. going into the weekend. oh, it's going to sizzle again. >> yes. sandhya, what's the word? >> you get a break. larry and kristen, this weekend. but that sizzle returns early next week. so let's take a look at a live picture from our mount tam cam.

just a gorgeous day as we look down towards sausalito. richardson bay on live doppler seven. no fog to speak of. that changes tomorrow. all of a sudden the fog is back overnight and it will be a cooler day. low 90s inland, low 60s coast. as we head into sunday. similar temperatures 60s to 90s. but as we go into monday, this is when the heat begins to build. upper seconds inland 60s 70s. coast side triple digits showing up on tuesday for our hot spots, and it's going to be pretty warm along the coast as well as we go into october. the accuweather seven day forecast the weekend is near average temperatures. the heat is back early next week and so is that fire danger, especially around this ti grow the system, exploit the system.

take mark farrell's record. after receiving the largest ethics fine in city history for breaking campaign laws. mark authorized a commission almost every year he was in office. he was even caught taking donations from people he would then appoint to commissions, including a felon convicted of bribery. san francisco's challenges demand urgency, not more of the same failed insiders.
