8:19 pm
the hares only live for about a year, have slimy skin and before they die, they lay eggs that look like this then head for shallow waters. the increased sightings may be the result of a popular boom. >> it may be because the bay water has been pretty warm throughout the year. that perhaps they're able to reproduce longer. >> reporter: so instead of malicious creatures taking over the bay, they're more exhausted animals trying to live out the rest of their days on the beach. if you see one, let it go in peace. >> i'm going to watch where i step. >> reporter: in alameda, ian cole nbc bay area news. >> let them hang out. they're not going to hurt anyone. >> you want to go over there to do a rescue thing, right? load up your car with some of these things? >> maybe not today. i'll think about that. meteorologist rob mayeda standing by. they say the warm temperatures in the water creating a lot of havoc. >> we've been seeing unusually warm waters around the bay and temperatures of late have been a bit hotter than usual certainly on friday. we had ha high of 101 dries in

diversions, something stout says they're innocent of. >> peggy bunker reporting. some people turned to synthetic turf. the city banned synthetic turf in 1984 because they think it looked tacky. they're considering lifting that band. it would help people conserve water but synthetic turf has come a long way in the last three decades, does not have to look tacky. critics say it should remain banned because of toxins. a fire is growing larger in california in shasta trinity national forest 200 miles north of the bay area. see it there on the map. the fire started on tuesday but it is really spreading thanks to the heat, the dry conditions and the wind. it's now more than 1,300 acres only 5% contained. so far the flames have not reached any homes. and cal fire has also been ramping up for what is expected to be a historic fire season.

8:34 pm
at history to prepare for the future. that's a sentiment brown, himself, is emphasizing. >> the idea that we get a little money, a lot of money for a few years that now you've reached utopia is so demonstratively false as evidenced by the last 12 years, so we have to learn from history and not keep repeating mistakes. >> experts say california averages one boom and one downturn every deckade and agree the current surplus would be quickly riped ed lyly wiped out by another recession. hiking its minimum wage to $15 an hour in the near future. the mayor signed the new measure into law today calling it a major victory. in july the minimum wage goes up to $10.50 an hour. each year that rate is going to go up until it is $15 an hour for all types of employers by 2020. cities in the bay area that have already adopted similar laws or

and reviewed by a pharmacist before it is sent out. the two-year-old business has shipped more than 1 million pill packs so far this year. why question why hasn't anybody come up with this idea before? it seems so simple. >> the core concept of pre-sorting packaging meds existed for a very long time. >> reporter: not for consumers at home. in seattle, kelly ross pharmacy has been doing something similar for nursing home and assisted living customers. >> as more people adopt this technology, it will just continue to help the medication adherence problem that is a real problem in our country. >> reporter: in fact half of americans fail to take their medicines as prescribed. pill pack helps fred. >> it costs me the same. they've just gone light years ahead of anybody else in terms of being able to make my life easier. >> reporter: and ultimately, healthier. nbc news, manchester new hampshire. an unusual end to a flight
8:42 pm
from los angeles to boise last night. a fuel luke on an allegiant air flight forced passengers to exit the plane, take a look at this via the wing. the leak started when the plane landed and the motor kicked in. the mixture of fuel and heat produced a vapor that some thought was smoke. fire crews responded even though there was smoke, there was no fire or reported injuries. just a big scare there. we have been talking about the drought a lot and now another consequence of the drought, this week governor brown warned it could lead to the spread of disease. >> can it really make you sick? in tonight's "reality check" sam brock's got the answer. >> reporter: the california drought has reached epic proportions. >> the drought is serious. we have to take serious measures to respond. >> reporter: but that's not the only alarm bell the governor is sounding. this week speaking outside a municipal water district meeting in downtown l.a. brown claimed california could face, "fires disease, and all sorts of things
8:43 pm
we don't order narl fairy have to deal with because of the drought." according to the centers for disease control drought conditions can lead to the spread of a number of infectious diseases. for example, the agency says using recycled water to irrigate foods s fields and process food can cause an uptick in e. coli and salmonella. california cases of west nile virus spiked the last several years, a phenomenon the state's department of health likely is a direct result of drought. there were only 111 reported cases in 2010 and over 800 last year. that's because as water resources shrink and temperatures get hotter the length of the mosquito season grows leading to an outbreak. the badgering bugs also need to go to greater lengths just to find water. then there are respiratory diseases like asthma which do get worse in dry dusty conditions. conditions the cdc points out
8:44 pm
can also cause the dreaded valley fever, an infection linked to fungus that lives in soils in the central valley. california did see a 128% increase in valley fever cases from 2009 to 2011. but to throw a little cold water on the claim, since then despite the drought, valley fever incidents have actually gone down cut in half. so it looks like valley fever may be less of a concern than in previous years but theoretically drought conditions can make it worses. now governor brown says you're vulnerable to disease. asthma technically is a lung disease. west nile virus is most certainly an infectious disease. statistically, incidents of both of those are on rise. governor brown's claim is mostly true. i'm sam brock. that's this edition of "reality check." back to you. >> sam thanks so much. a hurricane warning out for a big storm that is swirling off the coast of mexico. hurricane carlos is expected to strengthen then hit the southwestern part of the country
8:45 pm
on monday. take a look here at the overhead view of carlos from our satellite. rob mayeda joining us with power on this hurricane. we're technically in hurricane season now. >> absolutely. we've been seeing an active start. the rain we saw last week what was former hurricane blanca kind of unrachlveling and the moisture spread up toward california. this storm not going to take a similar faith. category 1 hurricane. winds of 85 miles per hour. it should strengthen somewhat before it approaches port ses and weaken as it interacts with the mountains and landmass of the west coast of mexico turning into a tropical storm and the moisture likely heading out to texas. we're watching hurricane carlos and what could be a developing tropical system near the yucatan peninsula. right now disturbed weather is technically the definition. winds of 35 miles per hour. it may turn into a weak tropical storm, but more importantly for folks in texas that have been dealing with just epic rainfall totals and flooding we could see a tremendous amount of rain
8:46 pm
from that system lifting off to the north moving toward houston and eastern texas perhaps as we head into the middle part of next week. we're watching really two storms. carlos for now off the west coast of mexico and possibly a new storm developing in the gulf of mexico. here, nothing tropical about our weather at all. you've got the sea breeze going and fog spilling into san francisco. beautiful twilight view around the tri valley. near 7 0 in livermore. tomorrow morning, low clouds you're seeing them now in san francisco. misty skies and drizzle. winds picking up during the afternoon. if they come out of the northwest, we could mix down drier air and temporarily break out of the low clouds along the coast. as the marine layer deepens up to 2,500 feet inland valley temperatures will be trending much cooler. see here the wind trend through the next 24 hours. strongly onshore. shifting a little bit to the northwest as we head into the afternoon. should definitely clear out santa cruz tomorrow. we hope just enough of dry air mixing down to clear out parts of the rest of the coast for sunday an. morning, low clouds drizzle and
