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. good morning everybody. it's saturday and we are starting the day with a bite in the air. >> yes, it's really cold out there in spots and also visibility. not great. so we're

continuing our drying trend. although we're tracking some rain in the pacific northwest. and with that, the cloud cover getting dragged over the bay area later on today. so it's a little bit hazy out there. the golden gate bridge and the air quality is moderate. it is 45. in oakland, 40 redwood city, 47 in san jose, 50 downtown, a blue sky here, coit tower with those mid 30s. petaluma 39, in livermore. so the 24 hour temperature change five degrees cooler oakland. concord. and as we go through the next several hours, we will warm up with the high clouds. we're low to mid 60s after 12:00. and then by the later afternoon 3:00 when we get our high temperatures, we're in the mid 60s, maybe a 70 degree reading down in the south bay, but those high clouds will be present. we drop off into the 50s tonight, staying dry. we are brighter tomorrow and we will begin to track more changes as we get into the workweek ahead, and we'll detail that for you in a few minutes. steph, all right lisa thank you.

>> new overnight. we're following a tragic crash in discovery bay where a pickup truck hit a guard shack in front of a gated community. it happened off of bixler and balfour road just before midnight. that's according to chp. they tell us the crash left one guard dead and another with major injuries. a man who witnessed the crash tells us what happened moments before. i think i heard the guards yelling, stop, stop, stop! >> both of them. if not one of them, i don't recall at the time right now, but one of them was hollering, stop! stop, stop because they had seen a car coming towards them, right? right before the initial impact. >> chp says the driver was a teen. he was taken to the hospital with major injuries. we're working to learn more about this crash. we'll keep you posted on air and online. also developing overnight. 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. the fire started around 740 last night on arthur road, and the cause is still under investigation. san mateo county has made a substantial offer for sheriff cristina corpus to walk away from her job. the county has offered $1 million in four years of medical coverage. that's what sources close to the negotiation tell the i-team's dan noyes. 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 either. 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 have 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, and 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. 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 the facility. abc seven news reporter tara campbell talks to one of the plaintiffs in this 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 pleaded 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 the 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, fci dublin, is not a result of the agreement. the bureau also cites failing infrastructure and inability to staff the prison as reasons for this closure. now we're getting a closer look at the damage. after that 7.0 quake shook the north coast like this large crack which opened up on blue slide road in rio del. the cleanup continues this morning.

now the epicenter was off the coast and certainly felt on land as far as santa cruz. it was the largest quake to hit northern california in decades. businesses are left to pick up the mess you see here at hobby 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. >> that employee says about 30% of all grocery stock was destroyed. the dollar general store in rio dell is closed until further notice, with items still scattered across the floor. now, the tsunami warning, which of course resulted from that earthquake, came across as an alert on most cell phones. i'm sure we all got it. and we even 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 floodin. 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 a mountain view company, is working on technology that could detect major weather events faster. >> what 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 safety system. it's designed for wildfire detection. 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 the same technology to predict and track other weather events. their hope is to make warnings like the ones we received on our phones. more targeted and specific. now we stayed on air for hours to cover the tsunami warning and the impacts across the bay area. when breaking news happens, you'll find us on tv on abc seven news.com, as well as our app wherever you stream. how's it looking out there, elise? >> well, we certainly have the fog out towards the delta. fairfield sassoon, where a dense fog advisory for another couple of hours. visibility down to an eighth of a mile. and you can see the haze from mount tam. we have some clouds in the forecas, but will it lead to any rain? stay tuned. we'll have the answers with my accuweather seven day forecast coming up. >> lisa thank you. also next, there are growing concerns about the spread of bird flu here in the u.s. the new testing that's being ordered by the federal

government and google is pushing back against the federal government. the lawsuit filed today against the consumer financial protectio 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. my late father-in-law lit up a room, but his vision dimmed with age. he had amd. i didn't know it then, but it can progress to ga, an advanced form of the disease. his struggle with vision loss from amd made me want to help you see warning signs of ga, like: hazy or blurred vision, so it's hard to see fine details, colors that appear dull or washed out,

or trouble with low light that makes driving at night a real challenge. if you think you have ga, don't wait. treatments are available. ask a retina specialist about fda-approved treatments for ga and go to gawontwait.com

remembrance day, marking 83 years since the surprise attack on the pearl harbor naval base in hawaii. december 7th, 1941. the date that lives in infamy claimed the lives of 2400 americans and thrust the u.s. into world war two. yesterday, president biden marked the occasion with a tribute speech at the white house. the department of veterans affairs estimates of the 16 million americans who served in world war two, only about 120,000 are alive today. the u.s. department of agriculture says it will start testing milk throughout the country for bird flu, beginning on december 16th. dairy farms and processors nationwide must provide unpasteurized milk for testing

if the feds request it. testing will begin in california, colorado, michigan, mississippi, oregon and pennsylvania. bird flu was first detected in dairy cows back in march and has since infected 700 herds of cattle in 15 different states. the san francisco zoo is showing off an updated design for their giant panda enclosure. the designs were obtained by our media partners, the san francisco standard, and to save money, the zoo plans to repurpose the lion exhibit into a panda habitat. the remodel will cost about $8 million, less than half of the original proposal. that doesn't include a rental fee of $1 million per year for each panda, or the cost of food or panda care. and i know there's a lot of excitement for those pandas for quite some time now, so be interesting to see how this plays out in the weather department, though. it is chilly out there on our walk. >> yeah, we won't see that 75 again. redwood city that was a

record. broke a record of 73 and tied a record in san francisco yesterday at 67 degrees. so despite the haze and the poor air quality, it's certainly stayed mild. and in fact, we'll see temperatures above average again today. but maybe 3 to 5 degrees above average. and this is all due to a system to the north of us that will drag some clouds overhead. it is raining up in seattle and we will not get a piece of this precip, but we will see the ridge eventually break down and that's what we need to open the storm door and to disperse the particulate matter, get better air quality and add to our rain totals, which we are falling behind in the east bay and the south bay. so look outside right now where it is 49, san francisco 48. in hayward 47, san jose 52. on the coast and redwood city is at 40. looking at 49. santa cruz right now looks nice, but boy, still stuck in the 30s. here there's fog. santa rosa petaluma is at

3639 fairfield and livermore. so certainly a chilly start out there. and most of the fog is out by the delta, where we have a dense fog advisory. vacaville doing better for miles. but you see novato, they were socked in all morning long quarter mile right now. and so another couple of hours before this tule fog begins to disperse and we'll get into some hazy sun. air quality not going to change too much from day to day. and it will improve as we get probably towards late tomorrow into monday as that system scoots off to the south and east of us, there's our roof camera, a few high clouds cooler this morning. over the weekend we've got the high clouds today. sunnier for sunday and then rain chances they want to materialize by later on in the week. one model is pretty aggressive, bringing rain in middle of the week. today it's about some of the high clouds. partly cloudy getting into your sunday mornin. those high clouds diminish. we're back into sunshine on sunday. also into your monday. so where's the rain? well, you'll notice that it still

stays to the north. but really this model, as soon as wednesday. not sure if i buy it. wants to bring us some shower activity more likely by the end of the week into the weekend. it looks like it could be a quite progressive pattern, but still not agreeing with these forecast models coming on board. so we'll wait and we'll see. 64 in richmond, 65 in oakland. look for the upper 60s and mildest weather to be in the south bay today, but still some high clouds. the accuweather seven day forecast. so a few clouds today. more sun on sunday bringing in some wind into monday and tuesday. and by the end of the week we will bring in the cloud cover. hopefully the rain stuff. >> all right, lisa, thank you. well, still ahead, a pop up market takes over the san francisco center today. the event, featuring dozens of vendors and live music to get you i

their stories in court. >> how do you explain that this evil, violent act destroyed and decimated my family and other families? words cannot fully articulate any of that. for the victims families, the pain never ends. >> allen's attorney, james mcmanus, says the district attorney's office did not reach out to all victims involved, and he's glad the continuance issued by the judge friday will allow others to speak as well. >> esl, you know, had over 300 employees that day. they're all victims. we found, i don't know, 20, 30 victims just by our little efforts and all these resources that the da has, he can't find these people. i don't believe it. >> this is not the only case. d.a. jeff rosen sought to resentence. it's part of his bend the arc initiative. new social justice centered policies for death row cases in santa clara county. in court filings, rosen said resentencing farley is not about lessening punishment, but paving the way to the finality of his judgment by ending appeal opportunities and expensive post-conviction litigation. for those resentenced. rosen said, in

part, the man who committed this horrific mass shooting may well deserved his punishment, but we do not deserve to impose it. this community does not deserve an archaic, error strewn and racist system of capital punishment. >> we don't need him to pick apart a case that is finished. we need closure. we need fairness. we need justice. >> the next resentencing hearing will take place in march 2025, in san jose. dustin dorsey, abc seven news. >> all right. as we head to break, let's check in with lisa. how's it looking out there? >> well, you know what it is brightening up, but we also have that haze. a live view outside from our exploratorium camera. so with the haze and that colder morning and weakening high pressure, we've got a slightly cooler day on the way. some high clouds headed our way. we will brighten up beyond today, but we also are looking at perhaps more rain. so i'll put it all together for you

but do they really? do they see that crick in your neck? that ache in your heart? will they see that funny little thing that wasn't there last year? a new bounce in your step? the way your retinal scan connects to your blood sugar? at kaiser permanente all of us work together to care for all that is you.

roster is taking shape. the head coach tells us what she's looking for when selecting players. abc seven sports director larry beil has more on that. plus, the warriors matchup from last night. >> good morning everybody. tough task for the warriors. they beat the rockets thursday night trying to make it two in a row. a difficult back to back hosting minnesota. steph curry and draymond green back for this game. nursing injuries. green came off the bench and that might be his role for a while steve kerr said after the game. the hoop and the foul. draymond ten points nine boards and six assists. end of the first quarter. draymond to steph. crazy bank shot here. curry goes for 23 points. it was tied at 31 after one quarter. but the second quarter was all timberwolves anthony edwards. you can't leave him wide open like this. splash only a 15 point second quarter for golden state the ant-man. you know he loves to talk. and you know he loves to shoot. he had 30. pump fake and pull up j. the dubs had a season high 22 turnovers and

lose 107 90. the golden state, valkyrie's newest franchise in the wnba, will play at chase center next summer. acquired their first players yesterday in an expansion draft. now, they could take one player from each of the other 12 teams in the league. the valkyries picked 11 seven from outside the u.s. valkyrie's head coach, natalie nakase, was a guest last night on after the draft with me and explained what they were looking for, selecting these players specifically. >> i actually have three non-negotiables that i actually look for in players. number one, they have to be ultra competitive, and i've been saying that like, you have to love to win and you have to hate to lose, and you have to feel that loss. that's important. and then secondly, you have to have you have to have high character. so you got to sacrifice for the greater good of the team at all times. and then the third is you have to have a never satisfied mindset. so i want players to play like their life depended on it. >> the niners are on a three game losing streak heading into sunday's game at levi's against the reeling bears, and after

stumbling in the snow in buffalo, brock purdy knows if the 40 niners have a chance to make the playoffs. they got to start taking care of business. and that means getting back in the win column. >> for me, it hasn't been a woe is me. it's i'm like, dude, that's the nfl. that's that's life. and that's the challenge in front of us. and what are we going to do about it? you know so it's more of, you know, as motivation for me and you know, how am i going to answer, you know, this kind of stuff and how am i going to be there for my team when things aren't always perfect? you know, this is, i think, really where you see people for who they are. >> it is conference championship weekend in college football. boise state trying to clinch a spot in the new 12 team playoff and heisman trophy candidate ashton jeanty is a bad man. 75 yard touchdown to help put this game out of reach. he runs for 209 yards and the score. the broncos beat unlv, 21 seven, in the mountain west title game, and they are guaranteed to make the playoff. that's a wrap on morning sports. have a great weekend everybody. i'm larry beil. >> thanks, larry. how's it

looking out there elise. >> well we're looking a little hazy and definitely on the cool side starting out with live doppler seven, where you can see a storm system swirling well up into british columbia, providing some rain for seattle and portland. high clouds for the bay area pier 39 looking hazy and it's cool out there 49. downtown 48, in hayward. it is 45 in oakland with 54 on the coast. upper 40s san jose and from the peninsula here the airport where we were mild for the past several days, well into the 60s. it's cold, though, in the north bay. some fog. 39 there, 41 in petaluma and fairfield, where we have that dense fog advisory for the next hour or so, and you can see the visibility reduced here. at times it's been down to an eighth of a mile, but closer to home, not much of a factor. but we do have the air quality that has not been ideal with that inversion on top of us. and the light winds out there and that low sun angle really doesn't help us out. burning back that

moisture in the air. but we also have the pollution. so a few high clouds cooler this morning. we will look for the high clouds today in some areas and then more sun for sunday later in the week. we want to bring in some rain here. we just have to get the forecast models to align and be pretty sure about that. and at this point we're not 100% sure. so we'll have to wait and see. but as we get through the day today, you can see the high clouds there. so partly cloudy, the thicker clouds in the north bay and then looking at a sunny sunday that continues into monday. so several dry days putting this together for nine days. the wetter model shows that we could see anywhere from perhaps a half an inch of rain. this is through next monday to better of an inch of rain, so the drier model is very dry, so we're not sold yet, but we're looking like we could see a little bit of rain as we get into the extended outlook, including next weekend. highs today. cooler with the high clouds. mid 60s out there in oakland. look for lower 60s in

napa. we were up to 75 on the peninsula yesterday. so cooler here. we've got that ridge of high pressure still in place. but as it slides off to the east we'll get into a little bit of wind. so could see an offshore component, upper elevations as we get into sunday and monday could even last into tuesday. the accuweather seven day forecast showing very little change except for the cloud cover today, tomorrow and then breezy as we get into monday and tuesday. by the end of the week, we're looking at signs of higher clouds, mid-level clouds, and potentially some rain. so stay tuned on that as we refine that and it gets closer. stephanie. >> all right thanks, lisa. still to come, the golden state valkyrie is filling up its roster. we're hearing from the gm ahead

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 nyandeni 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. >> the valkyries will play at chase center home of the warriors, and will make their debut may 16th against the l.a. sparks. >> 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 in the holiday spirit. >> the fourth annual let's glow asf is back, illuminating the ferry building and seven other spots downtown with animated light shows like this one. the displays feature art from 16 local and international artists. you can see the lights nightly from 530 to 10:00 through december 15th. so fun to see that. the debut last night i saw a lot of posts on social media to people very excited about it. >> now we need to get some rain that would make it more festive, right? and as we look at where we've come since october. notice that the big one that stands out, of course, is santa rosa, with 16in 243% of average. then comes napa at four inches 118%. look at even san francisco with almost five inches of rain, 97%

of normal. we need rain in oakland, 46% of average and 55% in san jose with an inch and a third. so the accuweather seven day forecast doesn't actually have a number on the storm impact scale. but indications are that if we see any rain, it will come in by the end of the workweek. but until now and then, we are cooler today. hazy out there and looking
