meter is. cause of the fire or if that was the source of the fire, but maybe started somewhere else and went to the gas meter or if it started at the gas meter itself. it's too early for them to make the determination. they're going to get the gas line shut off within the first 30 to 45 minutes. thoen come back out here live, you can see that the fire, as they said basically under control. they're doing overhaul right now. no one was inside. one firefighter was hurt though. he tripped over debris, has been taken to the hospital to be treated for a possible rib injury, but he is expected to be okay. again, a two-alarm fire here at two michelin star rated manresa restaurant here in los gatos. smoke damaged throughout the restaurant, reporting live here, bob redell, "today in the bay." >> thank you much. police are investigating a deadly shooting at an apartment complex in san francisco. officers neither intersection of

back to the u.s. tsa says they will require passengers to turn on electronic devices before passing through airport security. that measure is in place because of concerns that terrorists may developing new explosives. lawyers from oscar pistorius say a video that aired ooefr the weekend showing the former olympian reenacting the shooting that killed his girlfriend was obtained illegally. the video was reportedly made last year as the defense prepares for the trial. meanwhile, the chief prosecutor in the murder trial said the physician who testified the athlete has an anxiety linked to his disability can't be objective because that position has a long history with pistorius. happening now, japan is bracing for a powerful super typhoon. than storm is headed straight for the country's southern islands. heavy rains along with wind gusts topping 170 miles per hour and 50 foot waves are expected to hit starting early tomorrow.

forecasters say this could be one of the strongest storms to hit japan in decades. this morning a southern california community mourning the los of a lifeguard who drowned while trying to rescue a swimmer after a frantic three-hour search in rough waters, fellow life guards pulled the body of ben carl sonz to shore. he had gone into the water to help a struggling swimmer and the two were hit by a large wave. carl sonz went under, the swimmer made it to shore safely. another swimmer and former lifeguard was attacked by a young, great white shark off manhattan beach. >> keep swimming, get out of the water. >> just yesterday, robles met justin hoot, one of the men who came to the rescue. hoot heard the screams for help from the surf board rental tent where he works, grabbed the

out there today. not going to feel like sticky,icy as it can feel in south florida this time of year. i can tell you, we have a little bit of subtropical moisture coming into the bay area, and as a result, it means it's going to be sticky out there. and so you're going to be sweating a little bit more than you usually do, it's more available moisture. also, it's going to feel even hotter than the true temperature because that air with that moisture actually has a weight to it. it's funny, peep don't realize, air is amazing insulator, that's why you have those downed feathers in fact parkas, but you didn't know that, did you? smart bay area, you probably did. 54 degrees in half-moon bay. i love science, let's talk about it right now. let me show you where the low clouds are this morning, and we'll talk about the midlevel clouds and where they're coming in from. right now this is per usual. this is what we normally see this time of the morning on-shore flow providing plenty of fog and low clouds to the immediate coast. here is the interesting thing.

we're getting a lot of these midlevel clouds out there, you can clearly see that here from the south bay this morning, painting a gorgeous sunrise, this is going to be the story all day long. we're not going to see it completely sunny sky later on today, we will see sunshine, but we're going to keep the clouds coming in and that humidity increasing as we head throughout the day today. let's talk a little bit of baseball, shall we? chances are one of your teams are in town. giants, oakland, oh yeah. they are battling tonight. 63 degrees, 7:05, o.co coliseum. wind tonight out of the west. ten top 15 miles per hour. you're going to watch for the flags to blow out towards center field, and if we get any strong gusts, we could potentially see that ball picked up and carried out towards right center field. that looks to be the scenario for tonight. if you want to find out if i'm right, keep it right here, you'll find the game on nbc bay area. sop let's talk about that monsoonal moisture, high pressure situated over the four corners renal, this is per usual. this is also something that we see this time of year. what is unusual about it though

is that some of the moisture's going to come into the bay area through the next couple of days and you might have to pull out your umbrella as we head throughout wednesday night. future cast showing you here the measurable precipitation. overall temperatures are going to drop off, but the humidity is going to north carolina and so really not too bad, but a little interesting out there. a limit change. let's find out how we're doing on the road, always changing that the hour, here's mike. this is changing, not interesting, but we'll take that over here. south bay, that's a good thing. snort 101 from 680 up, and good drive right now, similar case down at the bottom of your screen, just a little bit of slowing, over the next half hour. we'll get a later start to the commute, summer time traffic flow over there. the rest of the bay moving nicely. we talk about the surface street, it's the major for fremont, paseo, padre between peralta, over here by the train crossing, over around the bend by the apartments there. now once you get over towards

it, it's reopened again. major injury crash, they remain closed until 8:00 a.m. meanwhile, thornton, fremont, and peralta themselves, they make the the gnat, either direction past that scene. that's just fine for highway 84 there. interstate 680 slows a bit heading towards highway 84 here as well and gets confusing, but look at that, nothing confusing as far as the flow of traffic through the tri-valley. it's standard. over here, san ramone southbound, we had an earlier crash at canyon road which cleared from the roadway, caused early slowing and we see that in your direction. northbound another crash at crow canyon road, no slowing past that scene except for right there at the scene of the crash. westbound 80, commute direction flows into and through san pablo. jamming up towards mcdonalds avenue where a crash reportedly has one car in lane for folks to go on either side. you are clear, the rest heading towards the bay bridge, we have the back-up at the toll plaza. they look this over here, no big

surprises, and also the golden gate bridge, watch for the fog that can play the factor, back to you. >> thank you very much. 6:21 now, still ahead on "today in the bay," hanging in the balance. the court battle taking place that could determine the los angeles clippers. and live once again to los gatos. and this is the remains of the manresa restaurant. very, very serious damage. bob redell is live on scene. he'll give us his take coming up in just a minute.
