5.4% unemployment nationwide. california, guys, still 6 1/2%. the amazing thin is there are ten states, top ten, that are below 4%. economists call that full employment. that's actually almost too low because then you begin to have real competition for salary or for workers and salaries go through the roof. good for us. >> big competition. >> again, we're just right. >> just right. >> there you go. >> thank you, scott. there goes the school. there goes the school. >> frightening to watch. more than 100 people were inside a high school that took a direct hit from a tornado in iowa. the parents of a student watched on as the roof was just ripped off. the school was out but students and tich teachers were inside attending an awards ceremony. they got warning and the school leaders ushered everyone into the basement. no one was hurt. there was extensive damage.

>> so scary that people were in the school at the time. i'm sure you covered your share of that. >> a lot of places equipped with tornado shelters as well. we don't have to deal with anything like that here if we ever do see tornadic rotation it comes along with thunderstorms. whenever you see the severe thunderstorms that's what drives the tornadoes. we're going to take a close look at what part of the nation is actually dealing with that severe threat as we head throughout the day today. right off the top of your 6:00 newscast. stick around with us. we will get to that. if you can't, if you've got to get to work, mike is going to be here to help you the so in just a moment. starting out if the 40s and 50s. nice full blanket of cloud cover overhead. that's keeping temperatures nice and comfortable. we're at 52 degrees in san francisco. 53 in the tri-valley. 54 degrees on the peninsula on our way to the mid 60s later on today for most of us. although we will see isolated 70s in places like the north bay. comfortable conditions for wine country. then we have wind. this is going to intensify as we

head throughout the day. take you to your future cast. looking for the strongest wind, warmest colors. that's an indication of where that fierce wind will be whipping be i the day's end. i stop that clock for you at 7:00 p.m. that's when that wind will be strongest, especially up and down the peninsula, the north bay coast, and through your east bay hillside. the wind prone areas across the bay definitely going to get hit by some fierce winds later today. just keep that in mind. tie downey loose objects in your backyard. the reason why that wind is going to intensify is because we've got an area of low pressure just offshore. it's kicking high pressure out of the area. the two work against each other with we get a it too pressure gradient. i take you to the 5:00 hour on wednesday. that's when that area of low pressure that's trying to get in the bay area right now will arrive. this is going to bring us shower activity. much needed shower activity. obviously we are in the heart of a drought. i take you now into thursday at 9:00 a.m. wide spread activity continues at that point. temperatures are going to stay relatively steady.

that they are opposed to this vaccination bill that he has co-authored. if sb-277 does become law, it would require parents in the state to vaccinate their children in order for them to attend school. otherwise, they would have to home-school them. now, lane shtein of san jose have the sign ready for the protests, believe vaccines did play a role in her 6-year-old son's autism which is why she hasn't had her daughter complete her vaccinations. now, he is against sb-277 because it would remove the personal belief exemption from current vaccination law. right now parents can choose to exempt their children from vaccines for religious or personal reasons. the bill would change that, banning unvaccinated children from public and private schools. >> we don't want to be told what inject in our kids and what's next, is it going to be a multi-vitamin that every child has to take? >> we do not need to have families worry about having their children exposed to a very

to tell us what is causing it and whether the water is safe to drink. >> reporter: laura and sam, the message from east bay m.u.d. is that don't worry, it is safe or it's 1.3 million customers though it will likely taste and smell different than what people are used to. that could start as early aston or tomorrow morning. now, the reason, you can basically blame it on both the drought and the salmon. the usual water source for customers are the rif in the sierra, nevada, but that river water is reserved for the salmon to protect spawning habits. because of the drought east bay m.u.d. is having to get the water from a different alternative source, the party dam, which is higher up which means it has more sun exposure and more algae blooms and therein lies the cause of why your water may taste more funky than usual. east bay m.u.d. did this in march and got 1,000 complaints but it stresses it is treating all the water and it is safe for drinking. the water agency here acknowledging this isn't ideal

but it's much better than the alternative. perhaps banning outdoor water use or not having enough water next year. live in oakland, stephanie chuang, "today in the bay." i loved christina's reaction from last week when you said, great, okay, maybe sure when i take a shower it doesn't end up spelling like fish. that can be a problem. >> you would have to have an excuse, i was just at the fish market. >> shopping. i don't know why i have this smell. >> 5:47. i really hope that's not the case. if you are in that situation, our hearts go out to you. we sympathize with you. we will not judge. as we get outdoors today, temperatures look good. we're in the 50s to start. 54 degrees in the tri-valley. 52 in san francisco. temperatures look good this afternoon as well. 73 degrees in the north bay. 61 degrees on the way to san francisco. hey, good morning to you, tri-valley. check out this sun rise coming in from beautiful plea about on the this morning. 66 degrees out there to finish
