the state department right now considering whether to pull billions of dollars in aid from that country which is an ally to the u.s. >> we've got new details this morning about a 6.5 magnitude quake and several aftershocks that rattled central new zealand. the quake struck near the small town of seddon. mag tooif five or stronger, several homes near the epicenter were seriously damaged with chimneys dlapsing and roofs caving in. one bridge also badly damaged. in wellington, some buildings were evacuated. items knocked off the shelves. a number of people were freed from elevators that stopped working. the initial quake also forced st close for more than an hour. but there are no reports right now of serious injury. so that is great news with such a magnitude of force there. it's 6:05 right now. every day we feel blessed with

sunshine today, a little warmer than normal, christina loren. >> this is a beautiful place to live, not just because of the weather, but because of our beautiful scenery. starting with one of the icons, the carcinas bridge. look at all this fog. we've got some really reduced visibility right at the immediate coast this morning. i'm talking to the tune of a quarter mile at times. travel cautiously, but look at this. let's take you above the clouds. i promised you a gorgeous sunrise. this is from high atop san bruno. this is the sky we will all enjoy later today. just a beautiful day. look at all that thick fog right to the surface. that's because of high pressure building. look at the difference in your temperatures. you have two, three, four degrees cooler conditions right at the immediate coast with that fog. napa, ten degrees warmer than 24 hours ago. we're getting the subtropical moisture so the microclimates making a significant appearance this morning. 64 in livermore, 65 to start the day in san jose and 61 in

gilroy. this is where we're head phd the bay. a touch cooler here, you will notice the humidity creeping up. 82 bay side and 70 degrees at the coast. another gorgeous day, once we clear the fog, it should clear up about 11:00 a.m. mike has a traffic alert. >> the sun snoel area, no insignificant thing this morning. today it's the focus of the big problem. the southbound and northbound directions both jammed up north 680 north of androtti still blocked until possibly 7:30. that's the latest that chp says. right now do not plan on driving through sunol in either direction. look at the map. it's jammed both directions approaching the scene of the crash. the northbound side is where we have the closure of the freeway because of the overturned big rig. it has to clear and it has yet to show improvement. it's stacking up out of fremont. the niles canyon road all the way over for 84 and jumping up with 680 north

to san ramon. look at these folks coming down for 680 out of pleasanton. 84 and 580 out of livermore to the same area, they all focused past that crash which is a huge distraction. the southbound side is really jammed up south from pleasanton all the way through sunol and approaching fremont. if you're coming from the routes in either direction, 880 and 580 are your alternates. it adds a lot more mileage, but this is friday light for the area. again, not on 680 through sunol and fremont. low clouds not a problem and lighter traffic flow past the truck scales again as you're heading into the south bay. no issues here. we'll end with the bay bridge toll plaza which has your cash especially the lanes off to the left. off to the right you're okay. we should get the metering lights soon a because there are low clouds and possible issues across the bridge. busy friday morning, mike. thank you very much. construction on a new downtown high-rise in san jose's market street has taken an historic

turn. crews there discovering what appears to be the foundation or basement of a previous building or home. archaeologist haves been out on the site checking things out there. they at this point will not say exactly what they found. researchers at that time dr. martin luther king, junior library say old maps show a grain feed building on that site back in the 1880s and then a tire service store during the 1930s. whether that foundation is one of these buildings is unknown at this point. construction we can tell you is still under way on the front part of that site. the new apartment high-rise will be 23 stories high. 6:09. coming up, a hot air balloon stuck in a tree. the dramaticúrescue that helped a man and two teenage girls walk away with not more than a scratch. the nation's top spy agency intercepts phone calls from the wrong place. what went wrong? we'll take a look coming up in business and tech. we've seen this man on bicycles, flying off bridges and screaming on roller coasters. now it's bob behind the wheel.

phone calls made in country code 20, that's egypt. but told computers 202. that's the area code for washington, d.c. the audit says a large number of phone calls were intercepted from washington, d.c., though the nsa does not define what a large number is. apple wants to clear up confusion between counterfeit chargers and real chargers. it's offering a deal starting today. bring in your after market or third party or counterfeit charger, whatever you want to call them, to an apple store. they'll exchange it for a real apple charger for ten bucks. this comes after at least wurn death due to a shock from a knock-off charger. if you're driving your tesla past the tesla plant in fremont, you can stop in and get a charge. opening a super charging station this morning at 10:00. tesla wants to build chargers from l.a. to vancouver. jon and laura, this is something

only come a few times that want to come for the last time. people have great memories when they're coming back with their kids, i've heard a ton of stories the last couple weeks of how important this location is to a lot of the local people. >> my favorite memory is one time when you and i were riding around the track -- it was actually a few minutes ago. so what happened? why are you shutting down? >> couldn't come to an agreement on the lease. both sides decided it was time to move on. unfortunately it's a sad ending, but there are, like i said, a lot of great memories here for many lobesal people. >> before coming out here this morning, i had it in my head o karks grand prix malibu, but still other go kart places. that's technically not correct. these aren't go karts, especially look at the single car, three-quarter scale indy cars that you guys built from the ground up. outside of one place in l.a.,

this is the last location. >> that's correct. that is true. that's what's very unique about malibu is that it is also on an outdoor track. a lot of the tracks are indoors nowadays. these cars go up to 40 miles per hour. proprietary to malibu and the build them up from the ground up back in the late 70s. >> where are they going to go? >> going to another location, i believe in portland. there really won't be any left in california. >> if you're sitting at home thinking you want your hands on one of these, they're all spoken for. malibu grand pri shutting down after 35 years. last time on the track will be 8:00. who is going to be the last driver? >> that's a good question. probably some of the team members will probably jump out and do one of the final laps. >> appreciate it. laura, jon? >> i want to take one just around my neighborhood. >> i like bob redell doing the "thelma and louise" thing this

this is what we're looking for. 64 to kickoff the day in livermore. 65 in san jose and 62 degrees down in gilroy. here is what working with. the subtropical moisture will be pumped into the bay area. it will feel hot, hazy and humid. not quite as bad for saturday. but sunday is looking like a score cher. so that is your beach day if you can get out there. also as we head into next week, talking about more of the moisture coming through. instability in our atmosphere and the potential for mountain thunderstorms. actually a pretty good shot for that. 91 in livermore, 77 in fremont, 82 in san jose. want to get over to mike inouye in just a moment. this shot of traffic is not looking better. 88 degrees on saturday. sunday 99 degrees. take a look at the difference between the two weekend days. beach day on sunday. wow, mike, a rough drive out there. >> christina was looking at another monitor. that's the sig alert. i want to take you first to the bay bridge toll plaza where this set of flashing lights is a

on friday. we see these flashing lights in your middle fast track lanes. there's a single car accident here. but now everybody clustering around it. this is becoming a hazard for folks helping out the car that was involved in the crash. no injuries reported. again, this distraction as well has the crowd building for the cash track lanes and metering lanes. the low clouds hovering around the deck, the eastshore freeway and the bridget self. the maze approaching the bay bridge is not the concern. it's 680 jammed. southbound your commute direction slammed down, although all lanes are open. it's the northbound side out of fremont coming down here past the truck scales, around the bend. another hour until chp thinks they can clear that. these folks are turning around heading south, heading south into fremont. both directions jammed up heading to the area.

this is just around the sunol valley golf course. if you're coming through the area out of fremont, you're okay. you go to mission and take niles canyon road and join 680 north past that. that's the direction that has all lanes closed. there is an alternate. you see the folks heading out of the area. as the commute builds for a friday, this is all jamming up, a big distraction. that's why everybody is slowing, including the h.o.t. lanes. slow solano through 84 as well. we also have our alternate which is 880 to 580. it is clear. we'll send it back to you. >> thanks so much, mike. 6:22. coming up, tangled. we'll tell you how a hot air balloon hit a snag that sent it straight into a tree.

this. there are extra counselors on hand and they say they'll be watching for signs as children get back this the classroom. they hope that some of the structure and routine of being back in school will help, at the very least, to be a diversion from what's been a difficult rekov rye here. there is still devastation, debris piled up for miles. a lot of kids that go back to school will go through neighborhoods that have been completely wiped away. their homes gone. they're going back to school. they'll be with their friends. they'll be with familiar faces, and that's very important according to a lot of people as they continue, laura, again, what is a very difficult, very emotional process here and one that's clearly going to take some time. no doubt. and the good thing is that children are so resilient. we can learn a lot from them. thank you, jay. 6:32 right now. the man named as a person of interest in the disappearance and murder of an oakland federal investigator will be in court

pack into the area traveling south past that scene. the huge distraction. 580 toward 880 is an option as well. it's friday light for that portion of your commute and much of the rest of the bay. we'll look at the bay bridge toll plaza where we had an earlier crash that has cleared from the fast track lanes. the metering lights are on. there's the building toward the end of the parking lot. watch out for slicker conditions as christina talked about drizzle across the golden gate bridge. it's friday, but that doesn't mean you have to be off guard. keep your guard up. the week is not over and neither is the commute. a lot of people headed to southern california this weekend. better brace yourself for massive detours on the state's busiest stretch of the 405. if you're headed to the oc, caltrans shutting down the 405 in orange county for 20 hours starting saturday night. th freewa)r will be close fridy the 605 interchange to valley view in westminster. so-called bridge bash closure is part of the 277 million project
