laura is off this morning. update on breaking news. the biggest ever disaster on mt. everest. an avalanche at the highest peak in the world, 13 people were killed when snow and ice came tumbling down the mountain. right now rescuers are still looking for climbers who may have been buried. bob redell joining us in the studio with the latest. it is not unknown that this is probably one of the most dangerous places on earth. >> it is. no other event on everest has killed this many people. 11 of those 13 people killed, two still missing and four more were hurt, two critically. the voice of america reporting that as many as 100 climbers could be trapped above the avalanche on the world's tallest mountain. now, this happened a little bit after sunrise friday morning nepal time. the 13 who died were sherpas, local guides who help hikers up the mountain. they were resupplying camps one and two. those are stops on the way up the summit when the avalanche struck a wall of snow and ice

struck, burying the sherpas and a cameraman tell "today" show that avalanches are a regular occurrence on everest. >> the biggest tragedy of this is that it's the very beginning of the season and to lose this number of people at the very beginning of the season may be the end of the season here. >> many climbers at base camp rushed up the mountain to try to save them. the helicopter was also deployed. prior to this morning, the worst single day disaster on everest was back in 1996. you might recall this when a snowstorm killed eight climbers. peggy? >> bob, the question, too, as you mentioned, hikers actually trapped above the avalanche. those sherpas are the lifeline to get down the mountain. how will they get down? >> presumably those hikers and climbers they're talking to 100 according to voice of america are with is she psherpas and th presumably going to have to wait

it out until they find a new path. here in the bay area, body has been found and now the coroner will determine if that body is a hiker who has not been seen since wednesday. the marin county sheriff says the body does match the description of 50-year-old marie sanner. she and her dog joined a friend on a hike. the two separated, sanner never made it back to her car. investigators say there are no signs of trauma. it's possible she fell down a slick 30-foot hillside. this is the second body found in the area in less than a week. another female hiker disappeared march 30th. her body was found april 12th. investigators do not suspect foul play in that woman's death. 6:03 right now. the president of san jose state is promising action. a task force made up of students, faculty and community members issued a long list of recommendations last night. now among them the creation of

an office of diversity. this would allow students to anonymously report incidents of discrimination and also requiring diversity training for faculty and staff. >> give you 100% occurrence that each and every one of those recommendations will be closely looked at and seriously reviewed. >> track record, i'm not very confident. i'm very skeptical. time will tell. >> now, the task force was created after an african-american freshman reported that his white dorm mates were taunting him with racial slurs and putting up a confederate flag and putting a bike lock around his neck. a follow up now. so far no human remains have been discovered in the burned down wreckage at the former kntv studio in san jose. three cadaver dogs have gone over the charred rubble from sunday's enormous fire. they alerted their handlers to two spots in the rubble where bodies might be found, but fire crews have dug through the

debris and discovered the remains of a puppy, but no people. homeless people were living in the abandoned building say three people are still unaccounted for. that suspect there charged with felony arson and burglary in the case. well, a warning now from the arts and crafts giants chain michaels. 3 million debit and credit cards have been hacked. >> 30 stores here in the bay area are at risk and "today in the bay" christie smith joins us live at one of those stores in san jose. christie, everyone will want to find out, how do i know if i'm a victim of this. >> michaels is suggesting pay close attention to your own account information. if you see anything unusual there, something you didn't go buy, go ahead and report that to your own bank. we're talking about dozens of michaels store. five in san jose alone where debit or credit card information was compromised. what michaels is saying is they don't believe any personal

information, names, addresses or pin numbers were stolen. the breach occurred that payment processing system and may affect 2.6 million cards that were used at michaels arts and craft stores and another 400,000 cards used at its subsidiary aaron brothers framing and a limited number, they're saying, of cards were used fraudulently afterwards. on its website, though, there is a letter from the ceo explaining that criminals used very sophisticated malware in this and that it is no longer a threat and that it is safe to shop at their stores. the stores and dates are listed on michaels website this morning. they vary, but generally occurred between may of 2013 and january of this year. again, customers advised to watch their accounts and report any unusual actevty. they are also offering free credit monitoring and fraud protection for those who find that they might need it. reporting live in san jose, christie smith, "today in the bay." >> we showed one coleman

location there, but generally speaking, lots of michaels stores and, again, generally speaking, a certain number of aaron brothers stores that you can check the website and figure that out. >> yeah, you can do that. they also have, you know, if you have more concerns, they actually set up an 800 number to answer all your specific questions. so, they are certainly trying to get out front and deal with this. >> christie, thanks so much. with all the data breaches, just checking the statements. >> absolutely critical. >> thanks, again. let's take you outside right now and give you a look here at san jose as we get this friday morning rolling. what a beautiful picture. blue, kind of cool colors there. >> let's check in with christina this morning. good morning. >> good morning to you. good friday morning to you. temperatures mostly in the 50s to start the day. and we have some changes across our microclimates as we head throughout the day today. you'll definitely notice the difference between the coastal temperatures and what we're expecting inland for today and part of the reason is why we have a storm system pass to our north and kind of break apart

over the bay area and bring showers to the sierra nevada for today, but for us we're talking about abundant sunshine yet again and a cooler evening. that's when we're expecting the changes to start. 54 degrees in the east bay right now, 53 to start the day in the south bay. want to show you live pictures and you can see high, wispy clouds here in san francisco where you'll find the low cloud cover and the fog this morning is through the east bay hills. this is sunol and nothing that is going to prevent you from getting to work on time. you do want to keep in mind, foggy out there. patchy, inland fog and the reason why we don't have that fog at the coast this morning is because the wind is pretty strong. really mixing up our atmosphere and could impact you if you're headed across the golden gate bridge and north to south, this wind is coming in from west to east. hey, sunset, excuse me, sunrise this morning right at 6:28 in san jose and 6:30 straight up in san francisco. really pretty colors coming our way as we head through the next 20 minutes. we'll show you the live pictures as we have you covered across the bay area. 74 degrees along the peninsula

for today and 74 in the south bay. not a bad day. tomorrow we'll drop your numbers a touch as storm system passes to your north and then we'll boost up the numbers as we get into this weekend. take a look at the difference between saturday and sunday and the south bay, in particular. 72 degrees on saturday and then almost a ten-degree jump as we head through your sunday at 80 degrees. the tri-valley will be the warmest. mid-80s coming your way. so, might be a good idea to have that egg hunt earlier. if you have the kids outdoors, make sure they have the sunscreen ready to go. >> in san francisco cherry blossom festival and last weekend the big parade and they stretch it out over two weekends because that's how we do it. i'm japanese american, if you didn't know. this is how we do it on a friday. smooth drive right now. christina talking bout the sunrise. and no problem just the cash lanes back up but we'll see the metering lights in a few minutes judging by this amount of

traffic. looking over towards the span and crash reported over on the eastern side of the treasure island. that's what we're looking at and haven't seen any major slowing. again, just the steady build up and incline towards treasure island. watch for flashing lights and as you enter the tunnel, back to the lights there. the maze and east shore freeway and nice drive around the peninsula, as well as coming down into the south bay. no delays, really, for 880 or the tri-valley either. just a slight build towards the dublin interchange. here 880 northbound circle in the center of your screen at stevens creek boulevard. three vehicles involved, but all in the center divide and no injuries reported and no slowing yet. southbound 85 the crash we have been following for an hour, hour and a half has been there and start tog see little slowing but nothing dramatic stay to your left as you pass. back to you. >> all right, mike, thank you. still ahead on "today in the bay" rough winds and wild currents as crews try to upright that sunken ferry near south

korea. plus new details on who was at the helm when that ship went down. the bank robbery suspect who sure explains it all. the search for a man with an i've got issues shirt right on his chest. also, crews painting a fire hydrant gold in san francisco taking a live look at that. just like they do every single year. this hydro is key to stopping the spread of flames after that great quake of 1906. today is the 108th anniversary of that quake. we're watching those events this morning, as well. we'll be right back. got a story for nbc bay area investigative unit? call the tip line at 1-888-966-tips or e-mail us at theunit@nbcbayarea.com.

welcome back now. happy friday to you. you've made it to the weekend and temperatures this weekend are looking fantastic.

in san francisco, for the cherry blossom festival, festivities start on saturday noon to 5:00 for that festival. great conditions. 62 degrees and then the parade is 1:00 p.m. city hall to japan town. beautiful conditions out there. >> just one of your many parades in san francisco, there is probably one happening. over here in oakland we're looking at an earlier crash between two big rigs and we're also looking for post-work traffic as the a's are playing for their victory tonight. mike, here are today's top stories. right now rescuers are combing through ice and snow looking for climbers believed to be buried in an avalanche on mt. everest. so far, 13 people are confirmed dead. there were mountain guides trying to bring supplies to camps. this is the worst disaster ever on the mountain. this morning marks the 108th anniversary of the great earthquake of 1906. right now, as they do every year

people are gathering for the survivor breakfast. earlier this morning a lot of people gathered at the fountain and they painted a symbolic fire hydrant gold. earlier this morning craft store michaels said 3 million cards used at its stores and aaron brothers stores nationwide may have been compromised. this includes at least 30 stores bay area wide. michaels says hackers may have accessed credit card numbers and expiration dates and it says there's no evidence that names or addresses or pin numbers are at risk. and new this morning, prosecutors have asked for a court to issue an arrest warrant for the captain of the south korean ferry that sank earlier this week. investigators also announced today that the third officer who was at the melm of the ferry when it began to go under was not the captain. the announcement was made today as cranes arrived to right that ship. so far rough currents and bad visibility have prevented searchers from getting that submerged ship upright. but overnight they did begin to pump air into the vessel just in case there are any survivors

onboard. officials have confirmed 29 deaths so far, but they expect that number to go up drama dramatical dramatically. more than 270 people are still missing from that boat and many of them tragically, high school students on a field trip. right now a robotic submarine is, once again, scanning the floor of the indian ocean for any sign of that missing malaysian airlines jet. this is the fifth attempt by bluefin-21. the sub creates sonar maps of the bottom of the ocean. it's now covered 42 square miles. it's found nothing before and nothing today. the sub searching an area of water 15,000 feet deep where pings believed to be from the plane's black boxes were heard. meantime, dozens of planes and ships will continue to scour the ocean surface. proliffic author and nobel laureate has died at 87 years old. the columbian author is best known for the book 100 years of solitude which won nobel prize for literature and sold 30

million copies worldwide. garcia marquez died at his home where he returned for treatment from pneumonia last week. his long-time friend and former president bill clinton writes "i was always amazed by his unique gifts of imagination." live look at san jose and san francisco and the san mateo bridge. i know we were talking bout the cherry blossom festival. of course, you have an easter parade. >> you always pull up such beautiful pictures. i love those cherry blossoms. >> they are gorgeous. they are just gorgeous out there. that is a great festival, mike, usually gets out there every year. he has taken the year off and you deserve it, buddy. you're out there every week doing community events. we'll get to his traffic report in just a moment. but, yeah, i've never seen anybody who works as hard out there in the community as mike

inouye. we have about 53 degrees to kick off the day in the south bay, same for the peninsula. in san francisco you're at 53, as well, but 54 and little chilly out in the north bay this morning where we're seeing the 40s and it will be cold as we get closer to sunrise, which is at 6:30 straight up this morning in san francisco. looking good for a nice, sunny and warm afternoon with temperatures climbing into the 70s. as we head into this evening, your sun will set tonight. 7:47, so, our days are getting longer and still about a month away from the official kickoff of summer, but it will be here before you know it. rain, though, on the way beginning of next week i'll talk about that coming up. right now temperatures looking like this for today. 70s and couple 60s at the immediate coast. heading to work to san francisco, bring that coat with you, but you can ditch it later on today when you get back home. temperatures stay nice and warm. 74 degrees in san jose and that number will drop tomorrow a touch and then as we head into easter weekend, look at this,

two very different coming your way. much warmer conditions on sunday than what we're expecting on saturday. that is a great day it hit the beach. if you want to do that, you have that luxury this year. on tuesday, our next round of rain comes in. another chance on wednesday and even better chance as we head into next weekend. the pattern overall is going to change. i'll focus in on that coming up in my next report. union street easter parade. parade starts 2:00 p.m. great conditions out there. 65 degrees on sunday. let's check your drive, here's mike. >> hey, thanks, once again, for the kind words about my volunteership. i have get into the community because it's court ordered. i'm totally kidding, i'm totally kidding, folks. growing up in the south bay you make a lot of friends over the years. northbound 101 with an easy flow of traffic right now. we'll show you the map. overall a light flow of traffic and the second one not just yet. north 880 at stevens creek boulevard that crash over on the side of the road and distraction and neslowing and south 85 and

we have a smooth drive with just a little bit of slowing right at the scene. the most we've seen all morning and major damage to one of the cars and so far still sounds like it's in lanes. you saw the impact on traffic. overhere a disabled vehicle, but note this, look at this, west 580 just green all the way to the dublin interchange where speeds come down just about 55 at the very worst. light volume of traffic getting out of the area heading towards the central valley and that will get crowded early afternoon because folks will take off for this weekend visit family and, of course, maybe tahoe, as well. dumbarton bridge and no delays across the peninsula and looking over towards the bay bridge toll plaza with traffic flowing nicely and entire look of the bay, only one that shows up red, palo alto. this is where we see our sensors showing red through the area and the camera shows you hardly any traffic. what could have happened a traffic break somewhere out of our shot and nothing reported by

chp. i will track that and give you an update. >> we want to hear more about that. police in hayward want you to look at some of these photos here of a suspected bank robber wearing a pretty specific shirt. you might remember it if you've seen it before. the shirt says, i have issues. this is what he's wearing when he robbed the bank. the suspeblth describct is 5'8" about 185. police say he walked into the u.s. bank on hisperian boulevard and told the teller he was armed and wanted cash. no one saw a gun but the teller did give him the money from her drawer and he took off.

at the shark tank just moments before the start of the first playoff game. look at the sap center. the power all back to normal. hundreds of sharks fans who arrived early were in the dark for about a minute. take a look at what that looked like here. this was the picture taken after the emergency generators turned on. you can see the jumbotron was dark. it delayed warm ups by about ten minutes. the game did start on time. >> we were having dinner and the lights went off and we were wondering what is going on, are we going to start on time? it was just kind of freaky everybody started yelling. crying out, beat l.a.! all the usual stuff. but it was just a matter of about ten minutes or so and came back on. >> a little excitement, a little fun. actually felt like, i don't know, kind of fun. >> all right, on to the game itself. the sharks got a strong start in the stanley cup playoffs. the power outage no ill-effect on team teal. the sharks jump out to a

commanding 5-0 lead over the kings. now, l.a. did mount a late comeback scoring three goals in the third period, but in the end, not enough. the sharks take game one of the series, 6-3. game two is sunday at the tank and the puck drops at 7:00. so, absolutely go sharks. another hopeful playoff. >> yes, my neighbor is such a sharks fan. i know she is thrilled right now and really rooting for them, as we are all. crews back out to work levi's stadium. >> our helicopter was overhead as workers rolled out the grass yesterday. this is ban deara bermudagrass reportedly used half as much water. it grows back really fast. look at that. isn't that cool? >> top notch. >> the first test of this grass is going to come in august when the san jose earthquakes play at levi's stadium. time now 6:26. still ahead, a celebration of

this is "today in the bay." well, good morning, everyone. thanks for joining us, i'm scott mcgrew. >> i'm peggy bunker. marking the great earthquake of 1906. just after 5:00 in the morning when the quake struck. earlier this morning people attended a commemoration ceremony on market street. it served as a meeting point for people displaced by the quake. about an hour ago crews panlted this fire hydrant gold just as they do every year. that hydrant was key to stopping flames after the 8.6 magnitude quake. more than 80% of the city was destroyed in the aftermath. now, for the rest of the

morning, the group will be at lefty o'doul's for the breakfast. "today in the bay" tracie potts joins us live on capitol hill. tracie, new numbers this morning. the number of people that signed up, it puts them over the top. >> it exceeded what they planned to do which was 7 million. but the president has come out himself now saying that 8 million people signed up after the deadline. remember, there were more people who were caught up in that last-minute computer snafu. so they've now counted all of the signp just 8 million people just over a third of those, 35% were under 35 years old. so, the white house and the president doing a big victory lap on this. on the other hand, republican critics have not given up. they say a lot of outstanding questions about this 8 million. if you take out the kids under 35, it's only 28% of healthy adults, young adults who signed up and that's below the initial projections.

they're also wondering if people may soon find out that their doctors aren'ted covered and their premiums may go up after this fall, which is what some of the predictions have been. so, they are still pushing to get rid of the affordable care act. you can bet this is going to be huge election issue. it fires up the republican base, democrats are claiming victory and we just got a few months left until november's election. scott? >> tracie potts, live in washington, thank you much. well, the woman who many republicans blame for the botched rollout of the healthcare.gov website says she will not run for u.s. senate. reporting health and human services secretary kathleen sebelius will not continue a run for the senate. sebelius stepped down from her high-profile cabinet job earlier this month. the lawyer who defended california's ban on gay marriage is helping his daughter plan her wedding to another woman. attorney charles cooper says his

way up towards organ expressway just before we got to the camera shot is the only red in the entire bay area. look at the roadways we were able to determine something was going on. two-car crash with one of the cars with a broken axle couldn't get out of the roadways very quickly. probably had a traffic wreck, as well. chp didn't specify, i'm guessing that's exactly what happened there. over here at the bay bridge, we talk about the build, as well. smooth, easy drive down the east shore freeway and slowing up the incline and live shot we'll show you. backup in the cash lanes and now just backup in the fastrak lanes. they felt the need to do so based on the traffic flow and not only the people in the fastrak backing up. if you pay a little more, get across a little faster today. get out of that fastrak lane. >> thanks, mike. still ahead, the water is clean, but oregon is going to get rid of it anyway. new details about a public yourination scandal.

disaster ever on mt. everest. so far 12 people have been confirmed dead. now, "today in the bay" bob redell joins us in studio for the very latest. >> scott, new numbers. now as many as 15 dead in what would be the worst disaster to strike mt. everest. 12 bodies have been recovered so far. another 3 are still missing. and an early morning avalanche that struck at a relatively low elevation on mt. everest, which is the world's tallest peak. you can see it right there in file video. all 15 climbers are sherpas and the mountain guides who help tourists up the mountain. they were bringing supplies up to camps one and two, which are stopping points, and they were killed when a wall of ice and snow buried them just short of camp. a producer with nbc happened to be at base camp and they just spoke with savannah guthrie on "today" show. >> just before 7:00, we heard an avalanche and it is a pretty

regular occurrence here, so nobody was shocked by that. when radio reports started coming off the mountain that people were stuck in the avalanche and everybody came out and started getting organized for the rescue. >> and, scott, as you were aware, the voice of america is reporting that there could be as many as 100 climbers north of the avalanche. so, they would be stuck there right now. >> so, i understand numbers. you have 13 confirmed dead, probably 15 are dead. >> correct. >> could go much higher than that. >> which would make it, even if it was just the 13, still the worst disaster on record, you'll recall in 1996 outlined "into thin air" a snow storm that killed eight people and that mountain in all, since people started climbing it. >> 100 above the avalanche and do we know anything about the weather? >> right now it is not in the rainy seize whn it gets really wet which is later in may. presumably the conditions are somewhat clear and, of course, you're on a mountain and ice and snow and avalanches are a

regular occurrence, unfortunately. >> bob redell, thank you very much. back here at home miking of a much different type here. but a body has been found and now the coroner will determine if the body is a hiker who has not been seen since wednesday. the marin county sheriff department said it matches the description of marie sanner. she and her dog joined a friend on a hike and the two later separated and sanner never made it back to her car. the dog found the car back in the parking lot and sat down next to it. that's when somebody discovered something might be amiss. >> found the dog and saw that the dog had some type of license or i.d. tag on it and called the number on it and wound up speaking to who turned out to be the subject's father. the father knowing that apparently these two are described as what are inseparable knew there was something wrong. >> investigators say that there were no signs of trauma. it is possible that the woman fell down a slick that is about 30 feet wide on the side of a

hill. this is the second body to be found in mt. tam in less than a week. the sheriff department is also waiting on toxicology reports to find out how magdalena glinkowski died. at this point, investigators say they are not suspecting foul play. well, let's check your forecast at 6:47. we'll give you a live look at san jose and san francisco as the sun comes up and the gold colors start and christina joins us the mois morning. >> really nice. >> the kind of conditions that you want, typically, for an easter. you think of springtime and then temperatures will be very spring-like. right on par for seasonal averages. as we head throughout today, something we don't typically see here in the bay area. right now mostly in the 50s and we have a little bit of a wind chill fablth efactor out there,. grab your coat and hang on to your steering wheel pretty tight. you could get caught by gusty

wind and that wind from west to east and pretty strong at times, as well. we have dropped off at 17 sustained and at this point nine miles per hour in san francisco and look at what that wind does to your sky and the city by the bay. just absolutely beautiful to kick off the day here. temperatures right now as when we talked about, little bit on the chilly side, but really comfortable as we head into this afternoon. 74 degrees on the way to the south bay and 76 in the east bay and 72 degrees today in the north bay. taking a sneak peek at your easter weekend, tomorrow we'll cool you off by a couple degrees and then those numbers climb getting into easter sunday and a lot of people will be outdoors and a lot of parades and easter egg hunts happening and make sure you have the spf 30 plus ready to go. lots of sunshine and those bonnets, yeah, they'll serve a purpose this year. love those easter bonnets. as we head into next week, changes coming your way. pretty big changes to tell you about. look at this. when we meet back here on monday, still nice and spring-like with temper whiches in the mid-70s and then as we

get into tuesday, feeling like winter. only expecting the upper 50s in san francisco on tuesday and only 63 degrees right here in san jose with another round of rain on the way as we head throughout next saturday. we need this rain, that's great news. let's check out your drive and say hi to mike inouye. >> everything is better with easter bonnet on it. that's the old commercial. the rest of the bay moves very smoothly. look, this really sticks out. the red amongst all the green around the bay. this is north 101. we're still recovering after the earlier crash and presumably traffic break heading towards oregon expressway and slow from highway 85 as it rippled back and by the time you get to university avenue and, in fact, oregon expressway the crash is over on the shoulder. the rest of the peninsula and south bay move close to the speed limit for all your freeways. a little dramatic. a trailer came off of the truck or car that was pulling it at the seventh street off ramp blocking at least part of that off ramp. you don't see any slowing around

the bend, but be careful if that is your exit. bay bridge we'll give you live looks out there to show you what things are like. so light, in fact, the backup on the fastrak lanes have cleared because they have turned them off. here no problems down the east shore freeway as we talked about. dublin, let's get a look out there. another look out here for westbound 580 shows a smooth drive and dublin in towards the livermore interchange. towards the tri-valley pick up the flow and fremont the only spot where i saw a live camera with a little slowing and south past the truck scales and down towards mission boulevard. we'll send it back to you. >> thank you so much. an east bay math teacher faces sex charges this morning accused of having a sexual relationship with a student. 27-year-old leon chang surrendered to police yesterday after two months where detectives say they were tipped off that he may have been

involved with the san leandro student. chang arranged a sexual meeting with a minor with the purpose of exposing himself and to commit lewd acts. chang is on mandatory unpaid leave. and the san jose man who accidentally left his baby alone in a hot car for about nine hours while he went to work likely will not face charges. the man was supposed to drop off his 9-month-old baby at a babysitter's home before going to work on wednesday. however, investigators say he simply forgot and parked his car on the street before going into work to restock vending machines. wednesday's high temperature was 81 degrees and the baby died. now, to an ongoing investigation into an over night crash. san leandro police trying to figure out how fast an suv was going when it crashed into a family of four in a sedan. the driver of the suv had been drinking. it happened on hisperian bu, tha red light and hit the sedan.

the four people in the car, including a 5-year-old and 8-year-old were taken to the hospital but should survive. a san jose man has died after a serious crash on almaden expressway near coleman road. he has not been officially identified, but investigators say he was taken off life support around 8:00 last night. taken to the hospital after a suburban collided with another suv. it's unclear who ran the red light, but investigators say the driver of the other suv had been drinking. prosecutors say a 21-year-old man threw a fire cracker into a crowd of people at at&t park. today he will face charges in court. investigators say he tossed a lit firework on to a walkway during wednesday night's baseball game against the dodgers. five people were injured, fans say they heard a loud bang, saw smoke over right center field and the game was postponed briefly during the investigation. all right, a massive security breach at michaels has

really got a lot of people concerned, as well as aaron brothers if you shop at either of those stores. 3 million credit and debit cards could be at risk, including many right here in the bay area. "today in the bay" christie smith joining us at a michaels store in san jose hit by some of those hackers. seems like we're hearing about this all the time now. how safe is it to shop with your credit or debit card? >> happy friday. michaels is saying it has hired a security firm, in fact, two, to look into this. they identified the problem and they say it is safe to shop at their stores but they certainly encourage you in light of what happened to go ahead and keep a close eye on your accounts and make sure there is no strange, suspicious activity, things you didn't buy. if so, you want to contact your bank and they also set up an 800 number for customers who have concerns about this. the security breach was at the system that processes debit and credit cards and it may have affected 2.6 million of those

cards and another 400,000 cards used as its subsidiary aaron brothers framing. now, the time frame that we're talki about this is roughly may 2013 and january of this year. dozens of stores right here in the bay area could be impacted, including five michael stores right here in san jose. on the store's website this morning, there is a letter from the ceo of the company that also explains that it does appear that personal information, names, addresses, pin numbers were not stolen in this, but a limited number of cards were used fraudulently, so, again, you want to keep an eye on your cards. michaels is also offering credit assistance and fraud protection for those who might need it. reporting live in san jose, christie smith, "today in the bay." >> christie, thank you so much. the secret service says it's pretty close to understanding how hackers access the personal information of millions of target customers, you might remember that back around the holidays. it could take years to find the

criminals behind the hack. federal investigators say even if they find out who did it, it is likely they're overseas making prosecution difficult. target is doing its own investigation into the breach. they think the thieves gained entry through a computer that was owned by one of its vendors. about 70 million people were victimized in last december's hack. 6:55. cost you a little bit more to ride uber. >> all based around safety, of course. the san francisco company says it's upping the price in the name of safety by adding a $1 safe ride fee. uber says the fee will cover costs of driver background checks and insurance. the company has been criticized over how it screens independent drivers and questioned who should be libel when a driver is between fares. not enough to check in on places on facebook, now the social media site telling you exactly where your friends are. >> how do you feel about that? facebook just rolled out the nearby friends app. an opt-in only on mobile devices. the tool uses location and which

of their friends groups can see if they are around. >> facebook project manager put it this way sharing your location with nearby friends goes two ways. you both have to turn on nearby friends and choose to share with each other to see when you're nearby. facebook has been testing this feature with a majority of its staff and it says it's ready to go. >> sometimes you don't want people to know you're around. >> sometimes. plenty of people want to buy google glass. >> if you'd like to try them on before you spend $1,500, you can be in luck here. the company reportedly trying a free home try-on pilot program. according to cnet, the company apparently sent e-mails to a number of potential customers inviting them to test it out. google then mailed a kit that includes all the frame styles and four available colors of glass. here's the deal, though, the devices are nonfunctioning. they are not computer enabled, meaning that you get to try them on and see how they look. what i want to know is how

google would get these e-mails. who wants -- they would know that? >> you are probably on that list. come on, now. >> i'm probably on that list. >> he's just being modest, christina. we know he has a pair of those. probably one in every color. >> he probably has a move down where he checks you out and drops them down at this point. that's just my guess. temperatures right now in the 50s, one of the mornings you want to bring those shades with you. lots of sunshine coming in early. our sun is now up and our temperatures are going to start warming up rapidly. especially between the hours of 10:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m. 76 degrees for the east bay today, 72 in the north bay. we'll hit 74 in the south bay and same along the peninsula and kind of cool out in san francisco today. low 60s coming your way. lots happening around here. los altos a spring egg hunt. hillview soccer field and all the festivities start at 10:00 a.m. sharp otherwise warm on easter sunday and south bay at

80 and peninsula 79 and comfy there and, hey, a little warm out in the trivalley and the north bay. low 80s. still, though, i think it will be eggselent for you and your family. maybe eggstatic. i don't know if you can preregister but an egg launch for teens. if you don't register, don't launch any eggs. looking over here to a light volume of traffic. little slowing right there and that's the only slowing through san jose for the freeways and friday lighter commute later build. over here a problem, a crash at organ expre oregon expressway but still a distraction on the shoulder. slow from mountain view up to the area. look at the live shot and show you north of there at university, a smooth flow of traffic and no problems here once you get past that crash. back to the maps, showing you a smooth drive, as well, for both sides of the bay. little slowing approaching that san mateo bridge. turned those metering lights

off. let's check that view across 92 westbound. commute direction and a smooth drive, just approaching the toll plaza where folks are finding that a popular place to be. >> excellent. great job. one final check of the day's top stories. right now rescuers climbing through snow and ice looking for climbers. so far 12 people are confirmed dead and another three are missing. so far this is the worst disaster ever on mt. everest. prosecutors have asked a court for an arrest warrant for the captain of that south korean ferry that sank earlier this week. officials have confirmed 29 deaths. they expect that number to rise sharply. more than 270 people are still missing. many of them high school students on a field trip. and this morning marks the 108th anniversary of the great earthquake of 1906. these are the sirens we heard at 5:11 this morning. people gathering at left field f earlier this morning a lot of people gathered at the fountain

and also painted that gold fire hidant. >> that's what's happening "today in the bay." happy good friday if that is part of your belief, otherwise, happy friday. good morning. tragedy at the top of the world. an avalanche on mount everest kills at least 13 people. it's being called the worst criminal act? prosecutors seeking an arrest warrant this morning for the in custody. an arrest made in a series of and, grandparents at last. >> mark and i are very excited
