person and she is a good person. >> several in public comments said that the report initially did not take in interviews from people who would have supported corpus. supervisor ray mueller said it was an independent human resources report that investigated allegations from those who complained. he said that people who want to come forward to speak can, but that it doesn't undo the allegations and evidence found against corpus. it's kind of like saying we have someone who's presenting evidence of wrongdoing, and someone else is upset because they weren't able to provide a reference check that she's a nice person. >> it still doesn't undo the wrongdoing. >> mueller said one person who did not speak under sworn deposition was corpus herself, something he's still asking her to do. >> we want her to come in under penalty of perjury, respond to the allegations and be held accountable to the words which which she which which she responds to them. >> now, the charter amendment that the board approved would sunset in 2028. so it wouldn't necessarily be applied or could be applied to future sheriff's

administrations. now, we did get a letter this afternoon from the california sheriffs association, one that it shared with the board of supervisors. it said in part that this decision by the board dilutes the voice of voters and could alter how future sheriffs undertake obligations. now that this order has been introduced, this charter amendment has been introduced. the board would officially adopt it in two weeks. right now, live in san mateo county. zach fuentes, abc seven news zach, thank you. >> would the resignation of omar torres, the san jose city council needs to decide whether it will appoint a replacement, hold a special election or name a temporary replacement and hold an election. the issue sparked a lengthy debate that is still happening right now. an election could be held at the beginning of april and then a runoff would take place at the end of june. >> in the east bay. new details about a bart police shooting that sent a union city woman to the hospital. the transit police say officers responded to a report of reckless driving in the union city bart parking lot last night. during a traffic stop, one of the people involved

cdc says people who have tested positive have recovered from their illnesses after treatment with antiviral medications. >> every time we get the opportunity for the virus to move across species, there's the opportunity for a negative health outcome. >> to reduce risk, the cdc recommends avoiding exposure to sick or dead animals, including wild birds, poultry, other domesticated birds, and unnecessary exposure to wild or domesticated animals like cows. the agency advises against drinking raw milk. they say pasteurized milk is safe to drink. avoid exposures to things like animal waste, bedding or other materials touched by an animal with suspected or confirmed bird flu. >> this time, i think it's heightened awareness and there's no need to panic. >> i'm mandy gaither. >> how would you like to buy a house in san francisco for $300,000? yes, there's one out there, but it's going to take a

little work. and today is the last day for you to make an offer. it's on lowell street near morse street in the crocker-amazon neighborhood. it is definitely what you might call a fixer upper, don't you think? >> oh, yes. >> there's no bathroom, kitchen, running water or electricity. and it has very heavy fire damage. but there's a good selling point for this property. >> so the lot itself is about almost 2600ft■!s. it's pretty narrow, but it goes back a ways. so, you know, as it is, the house has a very large backyard. but if you were to knock down the house, you could build something within that whole parcel and could have a sizable single family home or potentially a multi-unit building, according to the listing agent. >> one thing that could come up is if someone wants to knock it down and start over, they'll need to get a demolition permit and have their new plans approved. and you know, getting plans approved in san francisco isn't always the fastest thing. >> don't plan on moving in

anytime soon, if that's what you're thinking about. all right, so obviously we got the weather situation here before the newscast. spencer was giving me the definition and the difference between bomb cyclone and atmospheric river and my takeaway was a lot of rain. >> so that's why spencer is the one. exactly. >> not you. yeah. >> well the bomb cyclone to which you refer is tapping into the atmospheric river and making it flow in our direction. so that's the quick explanation of how these two are working together. here's the satellite radar composite image. and you can see that storm circulation circulating there right off the pacific northwest coast and is producing heavy rain in many coastal areas of washington, oregon and down into northern california as well. and here comes that flow, that plume of moisture that will generate a lot of rain into the bay area over the next few days. right now, we're looking at really calm conditions. wind speeds are under ten miles per hour over most of the bay area. skies are cloudy, though, and the wind is not far away. here's the view from mount tam 54 degrees in san francisco right now. mid to

upper 50s at oakland, hayward, redwood city san jose stands at 6352 at half moon bay. it's cloudy at the golden gate, and we're looking northward here. of course, that's the direction from which the storm will flow. 55 right now in santa rosa. 52 petaluma, mid-fifties at napa, fairfield and livermore, and 58 at concord. and let's take a look at our forecast headlines. tomorrow. the atmospheric river arrives. the strongest impact of this period of stormy weather, especially tomorrow, will be in the north bay and through the weekend we expect a series of rainy days. so here's the storm impact scale, the exclusive abc seven storm impact scale. this storm for tomorrow is a level two storm of moderate intensity, producing heavy rain and possibly flooding in the north bay, mainly gusty wind and light to moderate rainfall in other areas outside the north bay. forecast animation starting at 11:00 tonight shows the arrival of that first wave of rain by about 7:00 tomorrow morning. it will be wet all across the north bay by then, and the rain will reach south and east to other areas, but it will be

mainly a north bay event. you'll see it lifting back into the north bay later tomorrow and for much of thursday, rainfall totals will generally be under an inch in locations south and east of the golden gate. but look at the north bay, where we expect rainfall totals by 4:00 thursday to range anywhere from about just over three inches at santa rosa to nearly seven inches at clear lake. as a result, you can see why we have flood watch in effect for the entire north bay from 4 a.m. tomorrow to 4 a.m. saturday. flooding is possible, and creeks, streams and roads and we have a wind advisory in effect from 10:00 tonight to 6 a.m. thursday for all of the north bay and the bay shoreline. and the coast winds will generally be out of the south at 20 to 30mph, with gusts to 45mph. and in the sierra, a winter storm warning in effect from 10:00 until 10:00 tomorrow, i should say tomorrow night above 4500ft. we expect about 10 to 12in. at 10 to 20in of snow, 2 to 4ft in the higher peaks. and of course, the gusts. wind gusts up to 55mph. overnight

lows here only in the 40s. in the north bay we'll see upper 40s to low 50s elsewhere. and then tomorrow's highs only in the mid to upper 50s in the north bay, where the rain will be pretty intense. low 60s elsewhere. and here's the accuweather seven day forecast. so level storm to level two storm tomorrow on thursday a little bit lighter rain and some showers. so we'll call it level one on thursday. but back to level two again on friday. rainy breezy chance of a thunderstorm. and as you can see, showers and rain will continue through the weekend into early next week. >> now you know the difference. >> well, as i said, lots of. i mean, i grasped it. thank you spencer. you're welcome. all right, bay area air quality officials have a prominent role at this year's united nations climate change conference taking place in azerbaijan. members of the district are in baku sharing our successes locally as well as learning from others with the goal of addressing global climate change. >> we can do whatever we want in the bay area. there's obviously

it's a small percentage of the total global emissions, but the more we can share the good work that we're doing, the more we can multiply that effect and get even greater, greater ghg reductions. >> ghg is greenhouse gases, doctor fine says many of the climate initiatives, climate initiatives, i should say, that he's hearing about are starting at the local level rather than nationally. and that highlights the pivotal role organizations like the bay area air quality management district play in these situations. the city of piedmont has approved plans to turn a former shell gas station into an electric vehicle charging station. renderings show what the updated design could look like. that station is on wildwood avenue, where it intersects with grand avenue, and when construction is finished, there will be 14 stalls for vehicle charging opening from 6 a.m. to 10 p.m. >> long lines as people wait for the opening of the latest fast food restaurant in the bay area, hoping for a big prize, and later a popular burger joint teaming

enough, though, when you're dealing with a population that struggles with mental health and substance abuse issues. >> abc seven news. building a better bay area reporter lyanne

melendez. joining us now with one example of how our current laws and lack of treatment facilities affect not only the individuals, but housed residents as well in these scenarios. you're right. >> and it's so frustrating because i think everybody in san francisco, most people want these people who have mental health issues to get some kind of help, right. but what happens right when you do everything right and the system fails? we found some neighbors who have been caught in the middle of a struggle to get one person the help they need. these neighbors often feel like they are the ones paying a price. few of us will ever understand what goes on in the minds of someone with a mental illness. but most of us would agree that living on san francisco streets in these conditions should be categorized as inhumane. and so we call attention to 39 year old william eaton. we've never met him. >> he's just an aggressive person. he'll, you know, he would camp out in people's front yards.

>> eaton goes by the name sapphire. >> and sapphire is an unhoused individual who spends a lot of time in the castro. a lot of time in a triangle and dolores heights. >> eaton claims to be a shaman. he has been in court several times for burglary, destruction of property and setting things on fire. >> he just runs through and destroys tons of plants. it's just a lot of vandalism for years and years, most of those charges have been misdemeanors. >> eaton is not unlike other unhoused people in san francisco, living on the street with severe mental issues, except that things began to escalate with neighbors. >> what happened with me was i was out one morning early, one morning, and he tried to get into my house and luckily the door was locked and my wife called me and she said, what do i do? i said, call 911. by the time i got back here, the cops had him in handcuffs and so on, and i said, well, that's it. that was in december, late

december of last year. and i said, that's it for me. that's it. i've been involved with the neighborhood. >> you said, that's it for me. >> that was it. i'm going to i'm going to take action and i'm going to start the restraining order process. >> rob cox says eaton is not allowed within 100 yards of his property in the castro. another neighbor who lives in nearby dolores heights, also took out a second restraining order against eaton. has he violated the restraining order? >> at least four times? really? at least four times. i've had him rearrested at least four times. >> police say eaton is one of many people with mental health and drug issues caught in the courts revolving door. last may, after he violated the restraining order, the judge told him he had to attend anger management classes and comply with the treatment plan. that never happened. >> its most recent arrest was at the randall museum on an arson charge. >> that was october 23rd, and eaton now faces felony charges. the district attorney's office asked the judge to keep him in

custody. the judge, kenneth win, agreed, but one week later, eaton was released on his own recognizance and ordered to report to assertive case management. five days a week to start treatment. here's what the district attorney told us. quote, we objected to the release because of te public safety risk the defendant poses. he has been ordered to assertive case management not once, but several times. yes, that's pretty standard. yeah. okay. but here we are. he's still not getting the help he needs. well, he's he's he's refusing the help that he needs. >> we can't we can't we can't force him into mental health treatment. right. >> so the last one, the assertive case management, the judge in that case said, okay, you have to report five times a week. he's not going to report five times a week. >> i mean, that's the court's side of it, which i'm not really a part of in terms of the checking in. >> absurd to think that he's going to show up. yeah. the

intention of the legal system is not to punish those like eaton, but to offer help. except that the city is not set up to address this complicated problem. no one knows that better than the executive director of the department of emergency management, whose job is to coordinate operations to address encampments and offer people services. how difficult is this problem? >> yeah, well, i mean, we don't have an ability to just force people into treatment. and even when we should, we i mean, i think that we should have know, i wish that we had stronger laws to help people to get to a better place. we don't have the beds. enough of those locked beds to take them to, and we don't have state resources for that either. >> eaton was arrested again and

back in court on november 12th for violating his restraining order. this time, another judge, brian stretch, agreed to keep him in custody, but eaton was accidentally released from jail due to a snafu by the court. when we asked what happened, the spokesperson for the superior court told us, quote, no comment. now, back out on the streets. eaton was expected to report to court on monday. we waited to see if he would appear. he didn't. >> and i feel bad for sfpd. i'm very close with the beat cops in the neighborhood. you know, they do their job and it's like, okay, this is this is who's not doing their job. i just think the courts aren't doing their job, but i think it's hard for them to do their job because there's no there's nowhere to put these people. so where do you put them? yeah. and that's the big question. >> that's a big question. now william eaton failed to show up in court. you saw that there, right there. and then the judge

issued a bench warrant asking police to arrest him and bring him to court. and may i say, here we are again, over and over again. but, you know, police and the da's office and the sheriff's department are working very tightly together to try to solve this, to break the cycle. >> thanks, liane. sure. >> still ahead. a home for just $1 and a fine wine that spencer can't wait to taste. it's from pi cancer is a journey you don't take alone. you did it! our cancer care team works together to care for all that is you. we are grocery outlet and we are your bargain bliss market what is bargain bliss? prices are too high, but grocery outlet

therefore not worth it. but a lot of countries are experiencing that same thing the depopulation. yeah, i've read about villages in japan and korea that are so depopulated. they have free homes for people to move into as well. and so it's out there. >> my fear would be i finally buy my $1 home and we get it all spruced up. and then i walk outside and spencer is right there and i'm just like, this is a guy. >> i try to get away, get away from him. >> yeah, but i'm sure he'll bring a bottle of really good italian wine for you, larry. >> appreciate it though. >> yes, i will, i will. >> yeah, it could be worse. it could be me too. sugar. do you have eggs? i can borrow? >> larry, you said it. >> how does being on a boat with 250 dogs sound to you? if you're in, you might enjoy a canine cruise set to depart from florida next year. activities include dog show, training and puppy massages. there are even balconies with a private relief station and pet butlers. the cruise is a partnership between expedia cruises and

cruise tales. no word yet on pricing. does anyone have a pooch and think this is a dream? >> so wait a second, we don't have to take care of all these dogs, right? or we just take care of our own dog. >> no, you get to bring your do, and it's a cruise for you and your dog, and everything is dog friendly and fun. and you get to play with other dogs. i think it'd be fun. i don't have a dog right now, but i would love i love dogs. it would be fun. >> it could be a really noisy cruise. spencer, that's for sure. >> no offense to rover, but i'd rather cruise with people. >> are you sure? yeah. >> i'm sure. >> i mean, what if it's larry? >> what if it's you? >> even if it's larry, what about me? >> oh, he'll take the dog. okay, the dog cruise. >> it is larry dog. larry dog? yeah, larry. hard to pick. hard to pick. when you think of first class, do you think of shake shack? apparently delta airlines

does. the airline is teaming up with shake shack to serve cheeseburgers on long distance flights starting next month. no fries, but it will come with a salad and a brownie. all right. it's a little bit healthy there. it will initially only be offered out of boston, but there are plans to expand to other airports. now, one of us routinely flies first class, so we should start with spencer. >> i do fly to boston a lot. i happen to have family in that area, and my grandsons love going to shake shack, so i have eaten shake shack burgers and they're not bad. so i guess next time i'm in first class, maybe i'll have a shake shack burger. >> yeah, who wants that filet mignon when you can get a shake shack burger, right? >> yeah, i wish they did give you the fries with it, but, i mean, i'm sure it's hard to make the fries good on an airplane, but, you know, how amazing would that be? the fries with the burger. but i'll take shake shack. yeah, definitely. because you know, when you fly domestic now, generally they give you no food. so right in first class you get some food, but it's not

usually like a multi-course meal these days. right. so yeah, shake shack burger, why not? i mean, it's better than pretzels. yeah. >> just randomly shake shack in and out. five guys, where do you put shake, shake, shake shack? oh, shake shack top in and out in. oh, okay. >> i'm five guys. >> oh, wow. >> wow. >> diversity of opinion. >> yeah. what about you larry? >> it's like ranked choice voting. you. yeah. what about you? all of the above. i like them all. oh, gosh. i know the diplomat. coward. >> pizza hut also has a new partnership, but this one is a little odd for pizza. they've teamed up with a winery to create a tomato based wine. that quote captures the essence of a pizza slice. it has hints of basil, oregano, and garlic. it's available on irvine's just beyond paradise winery website. it even comes packaged in a pizza box. so we go to the wine connoisseur here. spencer, what do you think? >> just give me a good tomato sauce on the pizza and let me have a decent wine. >> tomato based wine that can't

be good. >> i mean, there may be a market for it, but a limited one. >> i just always wonder in these situations where, you know, pizza hut is a well-known brand, and i imagine all the executives sitting around the conference table and going, okay, what can we do that's going to be new and exciting, right? how about we come up with our own wine? yeah. and everybody goes, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah, yeah. >> better than their own body lotion. >> next it will be pumpkin spice wine. >> yeah yeah yeah. >> let's just keep wine as it is. >> keep the let's keep wine. wine

i love you. [vo]: confusion. i'll just take your arm. [vo]: pain. worry. and bravery. you got this. [vo]: all in the life... i love you. okay? [vo]: of a child. this is why starlight exists. to bring happiness to hospitalized children when they need it most. because happiness matters.

is ready, says spencer christian. >> a lot going on here in the weather department. it's a level two storm for tomorrow. a storm of moderate intensity bringing heavy rainfall, possibly some flooding in the north bay. gusty wind. light to moderate rain elsewhere. you can see that most. well, all parts of the bay area will get some rain from the storm tomorrow, but the north bay will be hardest hit by 4 p.m. thursday. we're looking at over six inches of rain, possibly in the northernmost part of our viewing area as a result. a flood advisory in effect for the entire north bay from 4 a.m. tomorrow to 4 a.m. saturday, and we have a wind advisory, also in effect for the entire north bay. and the bay shoreline and the coast. that's from 10:00 tonight to 6 a.m. thursday. gusts may reach or exceed 45mph, and a winter storm warning for the sierra. i should add that as

well. is the accuweather seven day forecast. level two storm tomorrow, level one thursday. maybe back to level two on friday with some thunderstorms mixed in and periods of rain saturday, sunday and monday. it's going to be a wet week ahead. larry and kristen. >> absolutely. all right. thank you. spencer. as you start to think about holiday shopping, there's a new tool that could make it easier than ever. >> abc news contributing correspondent becky worley has an exclusive look at google's new ai tools. >> so the big trend this season is hybrid shopping. it's not just online or just in store, but a combination of both and recognizing this, retailers and shopping apps are rolling out new tools and ai that will bring the best of online shopping into the store with you. you see a gift that could be perfect, but is it? so how would this actually work? google's lillian rincon shows me the company's just announced in-store shopping features that start with a visual search. >> you can find the little

camera icon, which is google lens. >> she snaps a picture from the google app of this smart toaster oven, and up come reviews and online price comparisons. here we see the price in store is the same as it is online at other retailers. what's so interesting about this? is it blends the in-store brick and mortar experience with the online experience. it really does feel like a hybrid. >> exactly. yeah. doing the best of both online and in store to both help you have the confidence and the information that you need to know that this is a good purchase right now. >> brand new in the google tool. real time pricing and inventory info. plus the app knows where we are and suggests other similar products in stock at this store that are worth considering. the tool also shows historical pricing data. this play-doh set, normally priced up to $20 but now costs just 12, and it's below the normal price range, so we can see that this is actually lower than it typically is. >> so it's a good time to get this product from its

data. >> google says 70% of shoppers are using their phones in store to research products, but 50% of them le the store unsure and empty handed. >> the number one thing that people care about during the holidays is price, and so this really helps give confidence that this is a good time to buy the product. >> and google's not alone. amazon launched in february. its ai tool, named rufus that's designed to help customers save time by answering questions on everything from product details to making tailored deal recommendations. walmart also providing an ai chat bot that helps create a personalized shopping experience, and macy's recognizing the power of ai tools like this virtual try on feature. >> i think ai is just another tool that's going to make shopping easier for our customer. it's great for the customer to be able to quickly understand, you know, how our products are measuring up and what the value really is. >> we tried all those tools out at macy's union square, and it was so useful to have that real time info. and if you want to

use the new google search tools, you just fire up the google mobile app or go to google.com in any browser. you look for the camera icon and then you can search by image and it's really an amazing tool. and pro tip this works for clothing too. i may or may not have been seen here in the bay snapping undercover photos of a gorgeous dress. i saw someone wearing. so technology is awesome, guys, and being applied to make more money off of us, right? >> all right, well, if it helps, the bay area's own rita moreno now has her very own barbie. it's part of mattel's tribute collection that honors trailblazing women. the black and gold outfit was inspired by some of the actress's red carpet looks i love that. moreno, who turns 93 in december, lives in the east bay. she's only one of 21 people to get an egot. that is, of course, winning the emmy, grammy, oscar and tony. >> yeah. >> absolute icon, the grand slam. >> yes. for sure. the country
