flames also trapped a woman outside that home. it happened on pulvedero drive, near bernal. "today in the bay's" bob redell is live at the scene with how one of the woman's pets helped save her life. >> reporter: good morning to you, terry. this is the home of sarah muller and the home where she fed and took care of almost 100 cats. most of them trapped in their crates when smoke and flames tore through the house. the bodies, most behind that fend, awaiting burial, where the men are boarding up her home. when the fire started around 1:45, carol was asleep. no smoke alarm to wake her. fortunately, she did have bunny, her rescue dog, who alerted her to the fire already raging in the back bedroom. carol was able to escape to a small backyard enclosure. this is a space she had secured so her cats couldn't roam free, unfortunately it did keep her from getting away from the smoke and flames. she hunkered down in the fetal position on the phone with 911

until the firefighters arrived. they were able to save her, her dog, and seven of the cats. but the rest, as many as 100, are gone. >> all of the little dead animals that they have found, they put together in one place in the yard, and a friend and i will take all of their little bodies, and soon i will drive them all up to napa where i have many, many animals buried. and i will have them cremated the there. >> reporter: the stanford cat network, which carol founded, the whole point is to rescue cats on the stanford university campus, basically tnr, trap, neuter, release, so they do not repopulate. a lot of the cats are feral or cats that are abandoned. her heart was in this very much.

she's been doing this for years. according to the fire department, the cats were very well taken care of, looking at them, they were well fed and they weren't just necessarily roaming free in her yard, as i mentioned, it was very secure. and they were in crates. unfortunately, the fact they were in crates, the reason why they were not able to escape. carol is physically okay. she's actually in the white van behind me. but again, she's waiting to bury roughly about 100 of her friends, her cats who perished overnight. reporting live here in south san jose, bob redell, "today in the bay." one not guilty verdict in florida has led to three days of protests in oakland, leaving the city scarred by violence and destruction. overnight, protests hit their peak with several people arrested, some bystanders hospitalized, and many businesses vandalized along broadway and telegraph avenue. protesters briefly blocked traffic on interstate 880 last night before continuing to march downtown at times blocking cars, spray painting graffiti, and

protesters may have been hit by a canister that was detonated, an american flag also set on fire. what we're hearing right now is that oakland police are actually asking for the public's help. they're saying that they would like to make more arrests for people who caused all of the vandalism, broke the windows, did the spray painting, and asking anyone who might have video, anything like that, please give them a call. reporting live in oakland, christie smith, "today in the bay." >> christie, thank you very much. protests overnight not just in oakland, but also in l.a. up to 150 people caused chaos on the city streets. the protest of the zimmerman verdict. police say vandals broke windows and attacked people on sidewalks. at least 13 people now under arrest. as for george zimmerman, a jury has acquitted him of killing trayvon martin. but his legal saga is not over yet. coming up at 6:30, we will go live to washington, d.c., for an update on the federal investigation into the case, and what attorney general eric

morn, a view from san jose, looking out towards santa clara, off to the distance. we have low clouds, 3,000 feet thick this morning. so that sea breeze coupled with the low clouds making for a cool start this morning. and it should ensure a relatively cool finish to the afternoon, too. 50s outside for most of the bay area. look at the winds of fairfield, west at 30. and a southwest wind into livermore. typically, you see that during the afternoon, not during the morning. look at the relative humidity. notice the hilltops have high humidity levels. that's what happens when that sea breeze and the marine layer deepens up to near 3,000 feet. so as we go through the morning, we'll see clearing skies inland, starting around probably 10:00 this morning. and as we head towards the evening, more clouds spilling inland. tomorrow will be a different. you will notice this in the seven-day forecast as temperatures climb. 50s and 60s through 9:00. and by 1:00, still cool. 63 degrees in oakland. and 70s to near 80 degrees in san jose. one of the warmer spots we'll see today. but in the seven-day forecast,

on the scene. over here, a closure for brentwood boulevard, and it will last a couple of hours. possibly 9:00 a.m., around sunset road, overnight big-rig fire. no injuries to cause. and had to close brentwood, rerouted a few blocks around the scene. and looking into the tri-valley with a smooth flow for traffic, westbound 580 still slow as tad bit down past vasca and the build for the dublin interchange. 84 a gentle bield through livermore, but no big surprises for 80. a live look outside, how things are shaping up across the bay. san mateo bridge picking up more company, or speeds close to the limit. and here's the north bay. southbound 101 shows more traffic now at the curves. getting a burst of traffic out of navado, off 101. back to you. >> 6:11. coming up, a juror in the trayvon martin murder case speaks out. what she's saying about the controversial decision to acquit george zimmerman and why she's changing her plans to write a book about the trial.

counterclock wise rotation offshore. you can see the low, it will get out of here come tomorrow. which means less of the ocean air conditioning come wednesday and thursday. but for today and towards this even, low clouds spilling in inland. we'll wake up to a lot ofgnp l clouds tomorrow morning. but today will be the last of the truly cool days around the bay area in terms of afternoon highs. so 76 degrees in san jose. close to 80 inland. and that's going to seem cool compared to where the seven-day forecast is headed for the weekend. 75 degrees in dublin. 62 in san francisco. and on some lower 70s around the north bay and the north bay will also see the temperatures climbing on up starting tomorrow. so here's your coolest day of the week. we're seeing it today. and then for thursday and friday, temperatures start to climb on up. we're talking low 90s inland for thursday. and then maybe mid to upper 90s out towards the tri-valley in time for saturday, and staying in the 90s into early next week. mike? >> rob, looking over here now toward the south bay where the volume is starting to increase. right here, the 288 interchange, some slowing. it might be deceptive, because
