>> i just jumped up. i was like, eli is okay, i have to check my e-mails. i'm sure i would have been absolutely frantic and panicked today if it had been something else. >> she has not talked to eli and is still waiting for more information. a group of physicians from stanford university's department of medicine is currently on stand-by gathering supplies and awaiting word on whether they will need to fly out and help. some of them were instrumental in the initial teachings of the nepal ambulance service. meanwhile, an elite team of first responders from southern california is also on stand-by this morning. they could be sent to nepal at any time to help with the search and recovery efforts following that deadly quake. the team consists of about 65 people and at least one rescue dog. they have been deployed to a number of natural disasters, including earthquakes in new zealand, haiti and japan. now, this story is developing by the minute. stay with us for the latest developments, and when we're not on the air, head to our website,

a live look outside now at campbell park. your time now is 7:14. comcast, parent company of this channel, gave back to the community this weekend. comcast cares day has been held every day for the last 14 years. this year 90,000 volunteers worked on 800 projects in 12 countries and includes one in menlo park. volunteers gave flood park a makeover. a lot of familiar faces from the bay area came in to make a difference. and they worked on a project that will surprise students when they go back to school tomorrow morning. even kids know a good environment helps them learn better. so the goal was to give san jose's madison middle school students that edge by upgrading the facility, something their

shaky finances hasn't allowed very often in recent years. >> the budget only offers so much that you can do, and it happens every so often, but they need projects so big. >> reporter: intercenter comcass day, a godsend to so many in need. many employees signed up for just this project alone. grounds got new bark, exteriors got new paint. some places just got a good scrubbing. >> what we will do in one day will take them six to seven months to get done, and the cost would not be in the budget, so this is wonderful for us to be able to give back to the community. >> reporter: since comcast is the parent company of nbc bay area, some familiar faces rolled up their sleeves. >> you've got such good technique. >> reporter: others made a family day out of volunteering, bringing their kids no matter how hard the tasks were. >> it makes me feel so good to

help other kids have a school where they feel safe and have a nice environment around them for learning. >> reporter: it's interesting to note that this year the volunteers did not have their usual arsenal of schools. they had to keep in mind there's a drought. >> we like to power wash for cleaning because it's thorough, but in these times we need to conserve as much as we can. >> reporter: madison middle school looks awesome now, and many volunteers wish they could be here on monday to see student reaction. >> they might be happy and grateful that we did this for them. >> reporter: and they will be. in san jose, annette miranda, nbc bay area news. >> in the south bay, at least, it looked like they were dry. not so much for volunteers across the north bay. >> we had rain yesterday morning but it all cleared out in the afternoon hours, so it turned out to be a nice day in the afternoon. we have that doppler fired up because we're tracking showers not here in the bay area, but we do have some rain out there across southern california, and across the four corners region,

this is where the same system that moved through yesterday brought us the rainfall mickey was ta -- vicky was talking about. they are expecting showers at the giants game today in denver. that could be a rain delay. clear skies in the north bay to the south bay. it will be bright and sunny all day long. temperatures in the 50s across the bay. 72 for the south bay, 71 for the peninsula, the tri valley will be warm at 75. even san francisco today, you really were in the 50s all day yesterday, back to 67 today. 77 for the north bay. so yes, it's going to be warm, and even warm enough to hit the beach comfortably. in fact, in pacifica today we're looking at the upper 60s. half moon bay, back into the 70s today. santa cruz, 73 degrees will be

comfortable enough to get out there and fly a kite on those sands. let's take a look at things happening across the bay area today in santana row. santana dance group will be in santana row today from 10:00 to 3:00 putting on a nice show for folks there. maybe you want to head out on the bay and do some boating today. you may find a lot of boats on the bay today because it's the 98th annual opening day on the bay. yeah, that's been going on for 98 years on pier 39, and it's going to be from 12:00 noon today until 2:00, and that's a lot of folks on those open waters. it's going to include our cloud cover tuesday night. we'll wake up to fog on wednesday, and unfortunately for us, this system is not going to provide any rainfall. as it gets closer, it breaks apart, falls apart, loses a lot of its energy. so by wednesday morning we'll see a little fog and cloud cover, but that's about it.

another storm system in the pacific we'll be watching, but unfortunately, it doesn't look like it will be headed this way. it's moving north. temperatures really warm in the next days. you'll notice tomorrow back into the 80s, so a big jump in temperatures. same for tuesday and wednesday. it won't be overly warm. it's going to cool off just a bit but still into the 70s. it's going to be warm the next couple days and warm enough to hit the beach, especially tomorrow. if you're thinking about calling in sick, vicky, we'll know why. >> never, anthony, never. i show up to work every day. coming up on "today in the bay ". >> i remember feeling like, i think my life is about to change. >> a rare disease isn't stopping this woman from running eight half-marathons in eight days. what is inspiring her to keep going? that's next in our bay area proud series.

♪ wow something sounds sweet in here!!!! ♪ need a little honey in the bowl. yeah!!! badabopbopbopa!!! no? must be the honey!!!

life is full of challenges, challenges you inherit and ones you give yourself. a santa cruz woman has had plenty of both, and what she has learned, she wants to share with girls everywhere. "today in the bay" is here with our proud series. >> heidi boynton says she wasn't a runner growing up. she only did it as a way to get out of the house after the birth of her oldest son. it started as a time of meditati meditation, but it's turned into so much more for her and now others. with a sendoff like this, who wouldn't have at least one spring in her step? of course, heidi boynton is going to need quite a few springs, because she isn't just running a half marathon on this day, it's her third in three days. with five more to go.

why, you naturally ask? well, it fits in with heidi's philosophy that challenging your body does wornnders for the min. >> the connection between movement and your head and your heart and what magic that holds. >> reporter: it must be said, though, that not all of heidi's challenges were of her choosing. like that phone call from a doctor one fall 15 years ago. >> i mean, i definitely remember feeling like, i think that my life is about to change. >> reporter: it did, with the diagnosis of a rare and unfortunately aggressive form of blood cancer. >> by october, i couldn't run. and by november, i couldn't make it up our stairs. >> reporter: with the help of some experimental treatment, heidi and her doctors fought back the disease, and just a year later, she finished her first triathlon. >> i didn't care about my time, i didn't even care about the medal. it was the sensation that i put my feet across the line.

>> reporter: one of many things heidi has done is this. the mini mermaids running club started six years ago after talking to a friend about the limited options for fitness programs for young girls. >> i called her back within 24 hours and said, why don't we just create our own and we'll make it free for every girl. because why wouldn't you? and because i'm a pollyannna. >> reporter: since then more than 4,000 girls have gone through the program, all raising heart rate and self-esteem. each one, heidi hopes, getting out of that race what she got out of hers. >> if we can give that feeling to one person, that's all i wanted to do. >> reporter: which brings us back to this run. heidi is doing it to promote many mermaids, even though she's

battling that cancer for a second time. just another challenge, it would seem, for a woman who hasn't yet met one she hasn't finished. heidi has now finished eight of her mini half marathons based on schools where the marathons are held. she finishes her eighth half-marathon down in mexico. >> we wish her happy trails. if you know someone doing something nice for others, garvin would love to hear from you. just go to nbcbayarea.com and search bay area proud. still ahead, we will have the aftermath of a devastating earthquake in nepal. plus -- >> it is an alarm bell. it's something that need to be paid attention to so it's addressed. every day we drive under them and over them. you may want to avoid them. we talk about the bay area's crumbling bridges and overpasses, next.

it's, it's positive thinking. and teamwork. yes. okay, so we, were going downtown... so i start thinking, parking space, parking space there was no spaces. but then one appeared, right? positive thinking really works. no it, it really does, you know, like when i need gas, i start thinking techron. mmm. techron. and before i know it, we're pulling into a chevron. you put positive thoughts out there and then i just... oh, wait, are you like, controlling me? n-n-no. your car takes care of you, care for it. chevron with techron. care for your car. that's a long leash.

good morning to you. a live look outside right now. we want to take you to campbell park from our network there. take a look outside at palo alto where it's a little hazy but things are warming up across the bay area. i'm vicky nguyen along with anthony slaughter standing by right now. we're looking pretty nice and pretty warm. >> yeah. it's a comfortable day wherever you go. temperatures yesterday were below average, and today we can't really say that. because of the rain we had, the atmosphere a little chilly this morning. no rain and really no clouds out there. later this afternoon, it will be nice and sunny. temperatures back in the 60s and 70s for most of us, and even warmer as we head to tomorrow and the coming week. the return of 80s to the south bay area. looking at temperatures in the 4 40s, and this afternoon the warm

spot will be south bay close to 80. really all day long it's going to be sunny and warm. now, tomorrow even warmer, and there is a slight chance we may see a shower this week. more cloud cover than anything. we'll talk about that and a little bit of a cooldown headed our way in our next report. >> i'm just looking for the best time to wash the car, anthony. >> i say do it today. we may have a few spotty days this week. an avalanche rocked nepal after a deadly quake. the 7.2-magnitude quake was the nation's worth in years. it jolted the already rattled nerves of people who lived there. a 6.2-magnitude aftershock sent people to the safety of open ground as thousands of people slept outside last night. the aftershock also triggered avalanches in the himalayas. more than 2100 people have died, including more than 700 in the

capital city of kathmandu. the earthquake triggered a huge avalanche on mt. everest, killing at least 17 people there. several countries including the u.s., the u.k., norway and italy have offered emergency aid. the earthquake, which struck yesterday morning, was the same magnitude as the one that hit san francisco back in 1986. this morning hospitals in nepal are overflowing with thousands of injured people. >> most people have head injuries. many people in the hospital have head injuries and spinal injuries. >> first aid flights have begun delivering supplies. the first to respond were nepal's neighbors india, china and pakistan. well, two americans are believed to be among the victims of the quake, including google executive dan fredinburg. he was among a dozen climbers killed on mt. everest by an avalanche triggered on that quake. his sister posted that he

suffered a major head injury. fredinburg headed up google as a google exec. he started a movement called savetheice.org and he planned to plant a flag on everest to bring awareness to the cause. we spoke to one of his close friends last night. >> basically i heard an avalanche came through the camp, and he seemed all right at first, but then wasn't. and then he ultimately passed away. he is the most incredible person i've ever met in my life. his will to do anything is beyond anyone else i've seen. >> fredinburg was also linked to actress sophia bush who called him one of a kind, fearless, funny and one of the greatest loves of her life. a memorial service is planned for today. stand by for the latest

developments of the nepal earthquake. we're also on facebook and twitter. many cars passov over and under them every day. the bay area has nearly 4,000 bridges, and without them, our community would grind to a halt. but just how safe are they? investigative reporter steven stock has more. >> we obtain government bridge inspection records covering all 125,000 bridges in north america. we discovered almost 5,000 bay bridges here in bait area were determined by experts to be structurally insufficient. that's the same rating given that bridge that collapsed over the mississippi river back in 2007. it's the video that is still hard to watch even eight years after it happened. the span of interstate 35w crossing the mississippi river in minneapolis collapses without warning, cars still driving across it back in august 2007, sending 13 people to their death

and injuring another 145. >> a bridge in america just shouldn't fall down. >> reporter: that bridge had been rated by government engineers as structurally insufficient and categorized as needing replacement. we found hundreds of structurally deficient bridges here in the bay area. yet cars continue to use these same bridges every day. >> well, yeah, of course, it's too high. >> malcolm daugherty is the director at california's department of transportation or caltra caltrans. >> it does not mean it's not safe for the traveling public to go over it. >> reporter: a source from the traveling data in 2013, they rated 172 bay area bridges as structurally insufficient, meaning some of the bridge's core structures need repair or replacement. these problematic bridges

spanned the entire bay area, including the richmond bay. 280 at wolf road in cupertino. state route over 35. and the interchange of 280 in san francisco. >> i am concerned about the condition of the bridges. if i had a reason to be concerned about the public using the bridges, i would close down the bridges. and we've actually gotten to that point. >> reporter: about half of these 472 problematic bridges are in such poor shape that engineers put them on a list to be replaced. yet they remain open for traffic. some of these bridges carrying more than 200,000 cars every day. >> well, today we're already behind the curve because we haven't made a sufficient change in how we invest in transportation in the last 20 years. >> we visited many of the bridges on this list. we walked over them.

took a closer look under them. >>. while we weren't experts, some of the problems were visible. exposed chunks of rebar, cracks where main support hold the bridge up. >> when you take a look at these bridges at first glance, they don't seem so bad. but look closer. that's baer rusting rebar under a support for a bridge. this bridge happens to be carrying interstate 880 in oakland. >> caltrans estimates that it will cost $57 billion to get these bridges and roads in california back to where they need to be. plus another 3 to $5 billion every year for maintenance. >> we fall short each and every year. >> he represents marin county in washington. he wants congress to step up and better fund bridge maintenance

and replacement now. >> we've seen what happens when you neglect these structurally deficient designations for year after year after year. eventually things begin to fail. i don't want that to happen in my district or in anyone else's. >> it's going to be difficult. it's going to take some real leadership coming out of washington, d.c. to really think about the who represents the modesto area also serves on the u.s. house and transportation committee. after we shared our data analysis for both. >> the american public should be very concerned about the long-term value of our highway system as well as our bridges. people. they emphasize that while these ratings are not good news, he says the low numbers do not necessarily mean these bridges are unsafe.

if an engineer i thiwould do it that's the first step. >> if they were unsafe, we wouldn't keep them open. >> no hesitation. >> no hesitation. >> w >> we've broken down these bridges. just go to nbcbayarea.com. i'm stephen stock. nbc bay area news. pay to keep it or give it away? some parents have a tough call to do with this. but is it worth it? tonight the investigative unit takes you inside the largest private bank in the world and asked the company's ceo.

>> what do you say about preying on parents' fears about insurance for the future? >> what we're trying to do here is ensure that parents can make an informed decision. >> plus, we examine the alternative making a comeback in california. donating your republican plend h. >> we investigate that tonight at 11:00. if you have a tip for our investigative unit, give us a call at 1-998-tips. "today in the bay" is back after this. the warriors break down the pelicans pretty easy. we'll hear from steph curry next.

let's give you a live look outside at oracle arena. game 1 of the western conference

semifinals will take place as early as saturday there at oracle. well, after rallying from 20 points down in the fourth quarter to beat the pelicans in overtime in game 3 on thursday, many experts felt there was little doubt the warriors would complete the sweep against a sitt spiritually crushed pelicans team, and it turns out they were right. second quarter, shawn livingston finds green for two of his 20 points there. they led by 13 at half time. steph curry kept the pelicans at arm's length. they finished with 39 points. the warriors sweep the playoff series for the first time in 40 years. >> any time you come into a series against a team like they have, and you win four straight, that's tough to do against anybody, so i'm proud of the way we played, the way we competed,

and, you know, four is a good feeling. we can rest up and continue to get better next week, figure out who we play and keep moving. >> to coors field, the giants and the rockies, and this one went into extras. game tied at top of the 11th. the g-men even the series at a game apiece with a 5-4 win. the rebel match is set for this afternoon. the a's taking on the astros in oakland. an ugly game for the green and gold. houston jumped out to an early lead and never looked back. they trounced oakland 9-3. a smoking pat-down. new legislation that will make it even more difficult for smokers in california.

new efforts are under way in california to snuff out smoking, or at least make it even more difficult for smokers to light up. nbc analyst larry joins us with what's happening in san francisco. what are lawmakers doing to try to curb smoking in california? >> once again, there is an effort to curtail smoking. i tell you something, most of the energy is directed toward young people, and many of the new round of proposals, vicky, could affect just about all of us in one way or another. according to a recent study released by nursing school's institute of health and aging, smoking causes californians $18.1 billion. that's $487 per californian.

there's more than the cost in dollars. there were 33,663 smoking related deaths in california, 17 times those the number who die from aids and five times the number of those who die from diabetes and pneumonia. the push is to to make it more difficult to smoke. >> 37,000 californians died in one year from smoking-related illnesses. >> that doesn't include those who died from secondary illnesses as well. >> what i found interesting is californians actually smoke less than residents do in many other states, right? >> you're right, california ranks ninth of residents who smoke. according to the state department of public health in california, only 4.9% smoke and that's down from 1984.

but the costs remain high, and that's led our opponents to make this new round of efforts. >> what do significant lawmakers put around the table? >> the most costly is on the way as they work their way through the legislature. they want to increase the legal age of smoking to 21 from 18. that would make california the first state in the nation to do so. secondly, they want to add $2 per pack to the cost of cigarettes. california currently ranks 33rd in tobacco taxes. plenty of room there. they also want to ban the use of e-cigarettes in places where smoking is already prohibited. >> that whole vaping debate is really starting to heat up because people are saying, this is an alternative, it doesn't affect people, it's not as dangerous. of course, proponents don't feel that way.

tobacco smoking, everyone knows the richest lobbyist in business, right? they're not going to take this without a fight. >> deep pockets here, deep pockets. the tobacco industry is powerful, successful and has very deep pockets. the previous 17 efforts to increase tobacco taxes in california fell flat. they failed. the tobacco taxes we last raised, as a matter of fact, in 1998. yeah, much of that has to do with the clout of the tobacco industry in sacramento. just last year, 2014, that single year the industry made financial contributions to 32 state assembly members and 15 state senators amounting to more than half a million dollars. get this, in 2012 if you remember this, the last time a proposed tobacco tax was on the ballot, the tobacco industry said nearly $15 million against that measure. which, of course, was defeated.

but i'll tell you, they have a very tough hill to climb. president obama turned comedian. we'll hear his best jabs from the white house accordancorresp center. we're looking at clear skies in palo alto as well. we'll talk more about sunshine and warmer temperatures headed our way, coming up after this.
