showers, as you know, we're in a drought. we need rain. we'll talk about that in your microclimate forecast this morning. traffic control that might affect folks to east, coming in and out of the north bay, we'll talk about that, coming up. let's talk about this right now. taking alive look outside, beautiful bay bridge. isn't that cool? what a treat for this wednesday morning, august 27th. this is "today in the bay." >> announcer: from nbc bay area, this is "today in the bay." >> wonderful wednesday morning to you. thanks for joining us, i'm sam brock. >> i'm laura garcia-cannon. new this morning, a normally quiet south bay neighborhood painted with flashing lights and police overnight. officers spent the night looking for whoever stabbed a man in west san jose near the saratoga border. "today in the bay's" kris sanchez live in san jose where investigators are putting together exactly what happened. good morning. >> reporter: good morning to you, laura. it appears the victim is going

to survive, according to what the san jose police department told us. but the scary thing is it that happened here in the big parking lot shared by a grocery store and office supply store and smaller by businesses as well. it's a busy part of town. take a look at the scene. it's the parking lot in front of the lucky's supermarket here in sear toga. san jose police spokeswoman tells us the person who was stabbed was not stabbed fatally. this violent crime comes one day after the department released statistics showing uptick in violent crimes in the first six months of the year compared to the same time last year. now, according to the statistics, the sjpd required to submit to the fbi total violent crimes increases by 4% in the first six months of the year compared to the six months oovt of last year. that includes violent crimes like homicide, rape. overall, homicide fell from 24

to 19. overall, serious crimes fell by 9%. this incident will account for the figures the department has to submit to the fbi for the uniformed crime reporting data it uses to compare how cities fare compared to other similar cities. this would be included in there, but while that is all compiled, of course the investigation into who stabbed this person here in saratoga on the border of sar togeth saratoga will continue. kris sanchez, "today in the bay." >> thank you. more on our extensive coverage of the south napa earthquake. in a few hours, thousands of students in napa will be returning to class for the first time since the ground shook. the first thing, earthquake drills. "today in the bay" team is in napa this morning. bob redell in downtown, one of the areas hardest hit. we begin today with "today in the bay's" na nnette miranda. the parking lot was a dumping ground a few hours ago.

>> reporter: that's right. a lot of work done overnight, but still, there is still one pile of debris left behind me, as you can see. certainly less than what we saw yesterday when there were piles along the parking lot. since this is off to the side it appears napa high will reopen as planned. napa high had been a dump site for quake victims. residents lost personal items like furniture, electronics and things outside their home, destroyed beyond repair, the result of sunday's shaker. collection points were designated. one man brought the remains of -- remnants of an above-ground pool that collapsed. crews worked for hours yesterday and into the night clearing the piles of scrap. while there are many dump sites throughout napa, the city says using napa high as a site was

probably a mistake since classes are set to resume today. the superintendent begged residents to use alternate locations. >> we would appreciate if our neighbors went to the cities designated debris sites not at our school. we have many, many neighbors dropping off their debris at our schools and that was not the intention. >> reporter: after inspectors deemed them safe, all but one napa unified campus will resume classes today. stone bridge charter school will be back in session next week. inspectors found significant cracks in the floors and walls of that school. the first thing that students will do will participate in earthquake drills. of course, very timely, they'll

be practicing taking cover and evacuating in case there are aftershocks. more aftershocks in the area. live at napa high, nanette miranda, "today in the bay." >> thank you. 5:04, despite the dismantling of a piece of north bay history, a church in vallejo kept an important tradition alive. crews removed the bell tower of the first baptist church. after the quake the 100-year-old church was deemed unsafe. officials worried they wouldn't be able to serve food to the homeless like they have every day for the past 14 years. after the remodel, the church was deemed safe. and dinner went on as planned. the red cross and sl vation army will be available in the north bay until no longer needed. bob redell live from downtown napa. it's only been a couple of days, how evident is the damage from where your standpoint is? >> reporter: all they've done s is -- you can see, there's a risk of collapse, this is where

the most significant damage from sunday's 6.0 is right here in the downtown area, where historic structures, made of brick and stone, crumble. businesses inside will take a while to recover but homeowners who don't live in the immediate downtown area have had lives turned upside down. like crystal, who moved into a red cross shelter. she found staying in her home was too stressful, it's a mess, belongings were thrown about. yesterday's 3.9 aftershock, tossed her bed about was the final straw. she left home, doesn't know when she'll return. there are others like her. red cross serving several hundred people throughout the area, so is the salvation army with the deployment of five canteen trucks. 12-year-old joseph newhouse relying on their kindness, as well as generosity of two pg&e workers who visited his homing a visit he'll never forget. >> said, do you guys want

anything from walmart? and i said, yes. and they bought me a remote control helicopter, like $50, and ipod and a bunch of clothes. all of the clothes i'm wearing is from them. >> approaching 400 people we've assisted throughout the community. we continue, like our government partners to do damage assessment, find out what communities are hit and needed we found out there were going to be opening a shelter in vallejo. >> reporter: remember sunday's quake hit hard the napa valley mobile home park, several homes burned or were damaged. we'll update you on how the residents are coping within the next half hour. live here in downtown napa, bob redell, "today in the bay." seeing homes and businesses in shambles has a lot of people thinking about earthquake insurance. only one in ten californians have it. but with the aftershocks and destruction from the south napa quake, insurance broker says more people are calling in about

it. he says on average, a policy costs between $800 and $1500 a year on top of irregular dwelling coverage of $1200 a year. it's a lot of money but he says it can be worth it. >> consider how much equity you have, sure, and also consider in terms of what earthquake zone you're in. >> some people think they have quake coverage when they actually do not. and recommends homeowners read fine print in their policy. he says he should be dead. the napa teenager crushed by bricks from a falling chimney talked from his hospital bed about the night that could have killed him. 13-year-old nicholas dylan sleep on a mattress on the floor in the living room sunday when his whole world began to move. >> i started calling, trying to get to the door, just as i was about to put my knee on the floor, the chimney collapsed on my back, lower back. >> the bricks broke this avid soccer player's pelvis in four

places and left him with a myriad of cuts and bruises on his legs. >> i didn't know what to think. i thought for the first 30 seconds i was paralyzed. i thought i wasn't going to be able to walk anymore. i was scared. >> amazing that nicholas is talking about this this morning. he says if he had not moved, the bricks likely would have killed him. doctors say it will be four or five months before he can put pressure on his legs. but they expect him to be able to walk again and eventually play soccer, his favorite sport. we're very happy for him about that. for more on nick's story, head to nbcbayarea.com. of course we're also updating information on facebook and twitter. >> gord bless him and his recovery. good to see he's going to be okay. 5:09. a live look outside overlooking san jose and the microclimate forecast this morning. meteorologist christina loren has a look at some fog out there. >> yeah, a little bit of fog. not as much as yesterday morning.

as a result, it's going to be hotter out there as we cut off the natural a.c. good morning. wednesday, you made it to the midsection of the week. and this onshore flow does extend into oakland but it's cut off in fremont. not waking up with a lot of cloud cover in the south bay. on the peninsula, mountain view, all the way up to san mateo, mostly clear now. as we turn off that natural a.c., temperatures soar in some spots, especially the delta for today. for most of your cities, we'll moderate temperatures. you'll feel the heat by tomorrow. 50s and 60s to start, up to 80s today. 84 in the south bay. warmer than yesterday. you might have to turn on that a.c. if you're able to get a break the past couple of days. 82 on the peninsula and east shore. 70s in san francisco. hey, you live in the city, if you work in the city, we have quite a treat coming your way. look at this stretch of 70s. overall, though, we'll keep it in the low 70s. so no 80-degree readings but

we'll hold on to the comfortable weather all the way until the unofficial kick-off of fall, starting off the unofficial kick-off of fall temperatures above average as we hit the end of the month that happens. average 69 degrees for san francisco. i'll show you how this looks when it comes to your inland valley spots. it's go heing ining -- going t much warmer. mike, how are we looking? >> a good friend of ours, the morning commute. 580, friends, folks, shake hands with all -- don't shake hands but say hi. west 580, el charro, through dublin out of livermore. easy drive there. typical slowing there out of the altamont pass. nothing unusual. smooth drive to the dublin interchange. south bay and the rest of your peninsula looking nice as well. talking about this, over here, farther north than i thought. 160, highway 12, a fire reported

>> so many arguments surrounding that discussion. spacex ceo musk says it could take two week before the company will attempt another launch, this after a rocket self-destructed last week. in a statement posted to spacex's website, there is nothing wrong with the rocket that they know of but the company wants to postpone the line to triple check everything and go over contingency plans again. the rocket would be tasked with getting a satellite into space. musk, the ceo of tesla, said friday's failed launch involved a blocked sensor port. still looking into what a blocked sensor port is but we'll find out at some point. what is launching into the stratosphere, the stock market. scott mcgrew, history made. >> opening above /* 2000. closed 2000.02.

actively tried to recruit drivers from lyft. whether you believe uber is trying to slow down lyft, hard to ignore efforts of operation slog. >> stood out as well. >> thank you. 5:18 right now. nothing vicious about the forecast in the bay area today. >> it's going to be really nice. pleasant conditions. quite the contrary, no slogging happening. 5:18 now. we do have a good looking day coming your way. good morning to you. as you know, it's kind of a rough period for us here in the bay area with that 6.0 earthquake up in napa on sunday. but you know what? things are starting to calm down. checking aftershocks for you. so far this morning we're looking okay. we haven't had anything stronger than that 3.9 we had yesterday morning. and i can tell you right now, the frequency is starting to dwindle as well when it comes to aftershocks. we're not letting our guard down, but i like to report what's happening.

plan, earthquake drills. >> "today in the bay" team is in napa this morning, bob redell in downtown area. one of the hardest areas hit. but we begin with "today in the bay's" nanette miranda. she joins us from napa high school. that parking lot was a dumping ground a few hours ago. >> reporter: that's right. the crews worked really hard to clear the debris out of the parking lot. but as you can see behind me, there is one pile left. such an improvement from yesterday when there were piles and piles of this stuff throughout the parking lot. since this is off to the side, it should not interfere with the reopening of school at napa high today. the city of napa had designated the high school as one of many dump sites for earthquake victims who brought personal items destroyed from sunday's quake. in hindsight, firms said napa high was probably a bad idea as a dumping site since classes are to resume today. inspectors have gone through the schools and deemed both of them

safe, despite having small repairs, like broken windows and cracks in the sidewalks having to be done. kids have to come back after this two-daybreak. >> safety, they all passed by structural engineers, architects, three teams visiting all 30 schools. some double-checked and trip triple-checked and our california schools are strong and count on napa schools to be strong as well. >> reporter: all but one napa unified campus will resume classes today. stone bridge charter school back in session next week. inspectors found significant cracks in the floors and walls of that school. now the first thing that students have to relearn is the earthquake drill, they have to participate in that. they'll relearn to take cover or evacuate in case of an aftershock. as you can imagine, earthquakes

up here don't happen that often, so perhaps students may have forgotten what to do in case one happens. nanette miranda for "today in the bay." >> we have team coverage. let's check in with "today in the bay's" bob redell. yesterday, bob, you were looking at dumping grounds. today, the recovery process. how are things in downtown napa? >> well, good morning to you, sam. based on what we've heard from the city and a private contractor, it's going to be weeks, possibly months, before the buildings are fixed here in the immediate downtown area. some might have to come down. there are just over 100 buildings red tagged. the city limit, 500 yellow tagged and over 100 water lines still need to be fixed. water and power is back on the napa valley mobile home park. residents waiting on natural gasp you might recall, a gas line rupture right after sunday morning's quake na burned and destroyed several homes there. many other homes are yellow or red tagged because of structural

damage from the shaking. last night that community met, got together to figure out how to move forward. most residents were looking for information about how to rebuild, questions about insurance contractors and security. all of those issues leaving people like mary sheriff feeling overwhelmed. >> right now i'm with my brother and his wife. just all we can do is take one day at a time. that's all we can do. thankful we're alive. >> people living at mobile home park did get some welcome news the management company's giving people a break on the rent, some a couple hundred dollars off, some won't have to pay at all, depending on the damage. we'll tell you whose peoples homes are uninhabitable, what they're doing. bob redell, "today in the bay." at 5:34, since sunday, there have been more than 80 aftershocks and experts say we should expect more today. >> felt like a 3.0 or

4-something, and it startled me. i just yelled out, earthquake, earthquake! >> yesterday's biggest aftershock, 3.9, caused some damage to highway 29. asphalt separated along the approach to the george butler bridge, creating a large dip. yesterday, traffic backed up for most of the day while crews made emergency repairs. at least one pet owner will be reunited with a furry loved one. many pets ran off during sunday's quake. napa's animal shelter has dozens of pets. the shelter has taken between 80 and 90 calls from people who lost their cats. 11 dogs have been reunited with owners. >> be prepared, you need to have water for animals, food prepared. a disaster preparedness kit for them as well as yourself. hopefully your animals are

microchipped. we scan everything that comes through the doors. >> many guys are getting reunited with owners. identifying microchips make the difference here. you hear about folks telling you to microchip your animals. one dog that came in does have a microchip and its owner will be picking it up this morning. success story. the cost in napa is about $10. >> great news. >> absolutely. for complete round the clock coverage of the south napa earthquake, head to nbcbayarea.com. >> animals get scared, startled as well. >> can you imagine if you're a dog -- you have no idea what's going on. >> we'll check in with meteorologist christina loren. good day to take the dog out for a walk? >> good looking day. sometimes when animals get hit by cars they think they did something wrong so they run away and hide. that's another reason you want to get your animal microchipped. you don't want to lose your buddy. i've got three at home.

6:34. sun will rise. it's 5:36. an hour away from that. it's still dark out there but we're are going to get a spectacular, i mean spectacular sunrise. showing you live pictures as they come in. we've got cameras across the bay area. temps will surge today. beautiful sunset as well. it's going to be clear, not expecting a lot of the fog to roll back in. 7:49 sunset time. overall, it's nice and clear for tonight. temperatures overnight are going to be more comfortable. waking up with more 50s when we meet back here tomorrow morning. 55 degrees in the north bay. that's the hot spot for today. up to 90 later on there. 70 for san francisco. and 84 in the beautiful south bay. now coming up, i'm going to let you know how category i hurricane marie will continue to weaken as it moves over cold water here. by the time it gets up to our latitude in the bay area, we're actually going to get impact

identify which isis member beheaded james foley. >> i'm afraid just a preview of what they would do to other americans. >> reporter: a vigil last night at marquette university, foley was an alum. >> please, jimmy, promise me you'll wait for us in heaven. >> reporter: president obama told the american legion, foley's death won't be forgot n forgotten. >> to anyone who harps our people is simple, america does not forget, our reach is long, we are patient. justice will be done. >> reporter: experts think the u.s. may expand surveillance over syria. >> they see real and imminent threats. stand back and not strike will be too dangerous a risk to take. >> reporter: democrats and republicans say the president may need to get permission from congress first. >> congress should weigh in. congress should be a part of this. >> reporter: we are following developments with an american aide worker, a woman said to be held by isis since last year.
