now abc seven mornings live now at five a plea for pardons following a major legal victory against the now closed women's federal prison in dublin. >> plus, the recent tsunami warning tested our response times. what experts say you need to do in case it happens again. and the golden state valkyrie is filling up its roster. we're hearing from the gm ahead of their inaugural season. good morning everybody. it's saturday, december seventh.

quite the week we had. it was a shock to get that tsunami warning. >> yeah it really was an a wake up call. we all learned a lot from that. but we are looking at a quiet start to the weekend. this morning, temperatures have dropped off into the 30s in some spots, and there's a cold front in the pacific northwest. we will see some clouds from that. the high clouds. but right now we're clear. we're cold and air quality is moderate. it is 48. in hayward, with 37 in danville. livermore a chilly 38. 39 santa rosa nevado. cold spot at 36 degrees. so nine degrees cooler. there, three degrees colder in concord and san jose with the smattering of moderate air quality. so still not a whole lot going on in the atmosphere to mix things. it is 53 by the time we get to 9:00 in hayward. lots of 50s and then low 60s by noontime by the afternoon afternoon highs a few degrees above average, mid 60s. partly cloudy skies and then by about 5 or 6:00, dropping off into the 50s. so we've got a couple of

dry days ahead. in fact, several before we anticipate a pattern change, we'll talk more about that coming up. stephanie. >> all right lisa, thank you. two people were sent to the hospital after a fire broke out at a home in martinez. according to fire officials, crews pulled one man and a dog out of the burning home. a woman managed to escape the flames on her own. the dog died on scene. the man's condition is not known this morning. but we do know the fire started around 740 last night on arthur road. the cause is still under investigation. well, we're following new developments in the now shuttered fci dublin women's prison. attorneys for former inmates have reached a tentative settlement with the federal bureau of prisons. it includes public acknowledgment of staff sexual abuse at that facility. abc seven news reporter tara campbell talks to one of the plaintiffs in the lawsuit. >> a legal victory friday for hundreds of women formerly held at the federal correctional

institute in dublin, the now shuttered prison has been under scrutiny for the past few years after allegations of sexual abuse. at least eight fci dublin employees have been charged with abusing inmates, five of them pleading guilty and two of them, including the warden convicted at trial. >> one of the things we wanted to do was to be heard, like you said, and we didn't give up. >> griselda muniz is one of the 500 named plaintiffs in a class action lawsuit filed last year by a nonprofit. >> we definitely raised our voices even higher with attorneys behind us and organizations knowing that somebody did want to hear us and did want to help us. >> plaintiffs attorneys announcing a settlement with the federal bureau of prisons. >> we are really excited about this really historic consent decree that was issued between our class members and the bop. it is, you know, the first of its kind to have some sort of monitoring across over a dozen

bop facilities as part of the settlement, the bureau of prisons will be required for two years to oversee the treatment of the women transferred from fci dublin to prisons across the country. >> today is a day of accountability. >> former bay area congresswoman jackie speier was one of the first lawmakers to visit the prison amid the abuse allegations. >> it was a horrible culture. they knew where the cameras were not located, so that's where they engaged in the various rapes. the chaplain was raping these inmates in his uh- area because there were no cameras in there. >> the settlement also requires the bureau of prisons to release eligible plaintiffs to home confinement and halfway houses as soon as possible. the bureau must also expunge disciplinary reports by dublin staff, intended to silence the women, reports that could otherwise prevent early release. but

former inmates say the fight isn't over. they want their voices heard by the president. >> we all feel if biden can, you know, pardon his son, he sure can pardon these women that have suffered heinous abuse at the result of government employees so super you know, that's really their only way to get relief right now. >> tara campbell, abc seven news. >> the bureau of prisons confirmed the details of the settlement in a statement, and addressed the announcement that the now empty dublin facility would permanently close it wrote while that settlement was filed with the district court, the decision to permanently close the federal correctional institution, dublin, is not a result of the agreement. the bureau cites failing infrastructure and inability to staff the prison as reasons for the closure. now san mateo county has made a substantial offer for sheriff christina corpus to walk away from her job. the county offered $1 million and four years of

medical coverage. that's what sources close to the negotiation tell the i-team. we also learned when the sheriff and her lawyer rejected that offer, the county indicated they would offer more money. one of the county's attorneys told the i-team he would not confirm what are supposed to be confidential conversations between counsel when reached sheriff corpus would not comment on the report. earlier this week, the san mateo county board of supervisors voted to hold a special election in march on a measure that would allow the supervisors to fire sheriff corpus. it comes after an independent report accused corpus of misconduct and corruption. a man and woman convicted for the murder of a bay area photographer years later have now been sentenced to life in prison without parole. fantasy decker and lamonte mims were convicted on murder and other charges last month in a retrial. 71 year old ed french was killed during a robbery in 2017, in a struggle over his camera bag at the twin peaks

lookout area. the duo was identified and found later that month after robbing tourists at gunpoint. we're getting a closer look now at the damage after that 7.0 quake shook the north coast like this large crack which opened up on blue side road in rio del. the cleanup continues. the epicenter was off the coast and certainly felt here on land. it was the largest quake to hit northern california in decades. businesses are left to pick up the mess at hobbes market in scotia. employees were told to evacuate when the rocking started. >> my boss came through and she was like, everybody outside, everybody outside. so i'm literally like, tiptoeing, trying to walk this way because the floor is going up and down. >> some pretty dramatic video. that employee says about 30% of all grocery stock was destroyed. the dollar general store in willowdale is closed until further notice with items still

scattered. all across the floor. the tsunami warning which resulted from that earthquake came across as an alert on most cell phones. we then saw a long line of cars in pacifica as people rushed to evacuate. people even sought higher ground here in san francisco. so how far do you have to be from the coast to be safe? abc seven news reporter luz pena went looking for answers. >> it was a warning that tested response time, urgency and evacuation plans across the bay area. the tsunami warning left many wondering, do you know what to do next time? >> all cities around the water line in the bay area may potentially be affected. >> we rounded up san francisco's executive director of the department of emergency management, a first responder and a scientist, to explain. >> this is a good kind of trial run for what would happen if we got, let's say, a magnitude eight earthquake up there. then the whole northern california coast would really be in play,

including the bay area. although because of the golden gate, the waves that would come through would be pointed more or less toward emeryville. >> the california geological survey created a map of places across the state that are in the greatest risk of a tsunami impact in the bay area. areas in green are not likely to be impacted. everything in yellow is at higher risk, with multiple places in san francisco along the water. when we zoom in into the bay, almost the entire island of alameda, parts of west oakland and richmond along with low lying areas in san rafael and larkspur, could see flooding. here's what you should do if you are near water. >> if you live by the coast, or you live by the water, you get this alert. you're not sure or you hear it is real. we really recommend people just taking a walk. if you can, to just get a little bit to higher ground. not to evacuate your whole house or anything, but to move farther away from the area of danger,

moving to higher ground could simply be going up to a higher floor inside a building. >> in the 2011 tsunami, there was a middle school, 3 or 4 stories high. everybody was evacuated to the roof. the bottom two stories were destroyed. everybody came out fine. >> after getting this alert. many people opted to drive out of the city. this scientist doesn't recommend that approach. >> you need to get ten feet up. you're much better off just to do it by walking or running, not getting in your car and running the risk that you'll be trapped in a traffic jam, as occurred in the 2011 tsunami in japan. >> luz pena, abc seven news. >> we always got to be prepared. now staying on this topic. a mountain view company is working on technology that could detect major weather events faster. muons. spacex is an aerospace startup in mountain view, utilizing weather satellites to develop lifesaving applications.

in may, the company and earth fire alliance announced the ai driven fire sat system. it's designed for wildfire detection and other weather related event. the satellites analyze images quickly and then track a fire's intensity. >> think about these as it's a it's a large constellation. eventually, 52 satellites of that have these cameras. they're basically thermal cameras on them. you can think about them as like seeing, you know, heat signatures on earth. >> the company is now looking into how they can use this same technology to predict and track other weather events. their hope is to make warnings like the ones we received on our phones this week. more targeted and specific. now, we stayed on air for hours to cover the tsunami warning and impacts across the bay area. when breaking news happens, you'll find us on tv here on abc seven news.com, as well as our app. wherever you stream. all right. how's it looking out there, lisa? >> well, we have a little fog up

in the north bay where temperatures are coldest in the upper 30s. here's a look at a sparkling san francisco, where it is 51 degrees under clear sky. so we have some high clouds that will visit us today. and tracking potentially some changes as we get into the week ahead. but overall, we'll talk about a slightly cooler weekend when we return, please. >> thank you. also ahead, two boys hurt in a recent school shooting remain in critical condition. the show of support across northern california and why a proposal could mean fewer fire crews in the east

ask your eczema specialist about dupixent. bill at a prayer vigil for school shooting victims, five year old elias wolford and six year old roman menendez have been in critical condition since the shooting. it happened at feather river adventist school near palmero wednesday. the northern california community has been coming together showing

support for these victims and each other. >> for me, it's because my girls here are future teachers and it's scary just to show community support for these two little boys that are fighting >> just wanted to be a part of the community. let them know that we're out here supporting them. >> it's all experience. >> the 56 year old gunman who gained entry to this campus by pretending to enroll a grandson, took his own life at the scene. police believe he targeted the school for its religious affiliation to the seventh day adventist church, but there appears to be no direct connection to the school or the boys here in san francisco. most of the charges were dismissed for the 26 people arrested for protesting on the golden gate bridge back in april. a san francisco judge has so far dropped 32 of the 44 charges against the pro-palestinian activists. efforts continue to get the entire case dismissed.

>> one person has been dismissed outright from the case for lack of evidence, meaning they should have never been arrested in the first place, and the charges the, you know, 40 or so charges that were originally filed are now down to about ten, and we expect those to drop be dropped even further in the coming weeks. and we're going to continue fighting this case. but also we want the focus to be on the genocide in gaza and arguing for pushing for a cease fire there. >> the judges signaled openness to reducing felony charges against eight protesters to misdemeanors. the existing misdemeanor group will be in court next week, and more will be decided at the hearing on january 6th. will, of course, be following this closely. well, a list of cuts to help oakland balance its budget have been announced. the report was released by the town's city administrator. the city now faces a $129 million budget deficit. the first phase requires immediate action. the city will realign $38.5 million

to the general fund. it also includes a brownout of fire companies, which could mean fewer fire crews at certain stations. the second phase includes a proposal to lay off over 90 employees from across all city departments. however, those will not be immediate. >> person wise. we lose about 4 to 5 officers a month due to retirement or going to a different department. if you add that up over a year, that equates to about 60 officers. >> the report now goes to the city council for a special budget meeting on monday. the bay area's newest professional team is filling out its roster. the golden state valkyries picked up 11 new players during yesterday's expansion draft. the roster was introduced by professional golfer michelle wie, west sports analyst baron davis and rapper e-40. the valkyries front office spent weeks studying the pool of 70 eligible players to choose who would make the cut. general

manager ohemaa nini discussed the challenges of starting a brand new team. >> i was so excited about the blank canvas and then behind closed doors it was blank. so nobody's like name. just like appeared or anything. so there was a lot of work that myself and my team put into it, and the complexities around it is what i want to continue to highlight. >> very exciting. the valkyries will play at chase center, home of the warriors, and they'll make their debut may 16th against the l.a. sparks. well, the fourth annual let's glow s.f. is back, illuminating the ferry building and seven other spots downtown with animated light shows. >> these beautiful images of display that will put a smile on your face and will lift your spirits. and if you're not in the holiday spirit by now, when you walk around and see these various locations, you must get

sonoma right now, with upper 30s from danville to livermore. so certainly cold out there in spots and low 40s on the peninsula from palo alto, 44 in san jose. so compared to 24 hours ago. much colder up here in the north bay, but just a couple degrees of cooling. still cold enough right underneath the clear sky. mountain view four degrees colder and san jose three degrees colder. so nice. look outside from our exploratorium camera. so a few high clouds and slightly cooler around the bay today. looking at that high pressure ridge holding on for the next several days before it really backs off. after this system pushes through. looking at sunshine through for most of us tomorrow, all of us. but today, partly cloudy skies as that system sort of drags those clouds overhead to the north of us. and once it pushes through, we'll get into some wind tomorrow and into tuesday behind the cold front. and then we're looking for those rain chances to increase, maybe as soon as late wednesday.

here's a look at the sky cover today. notice by about 130 the thicker high clouds in the north bay. partly cloudy elsewhere into tomorrow morning. a few clouds and then by your sunday afternoon this is 230. it's nice and sunny into your monday morning. partly cloudy and then more sun for monday afternoon. so that high pressure ridge not going anywhere for the first couple of days of the week taking you into about wednesday. and this is tuesday, then into about wednesday, you notice this more aggressive model wants to bring some rain there into friday and into next weekend. so it looks like we could get a progressive pattern, but not all the model members are coming on board with this. so we're going to wait and see. see how we get this refined into the next couple of days. as for today, slightly cooler out there, partly cloudy, 64 in concord. look for mid 60s from fremont, 65 up in san rafael and that thicker cloud cover up towards

santa rosa and wine country. the accuweather seven day forecast. so a few clouds today and more sunshine for your sunday monday. we're getting into that cooler pattern. could bring up the winds into monday and tuesday, and then by the end of the workweek, still holding off on how sure we are on i'm the only one that's not smiling. even though i'm with my close friends, i felt alone. i didn't feel pretty, i didn't feel confident. when i got invisalign, i built my confidence. it was the best investment that i could do.
