"today in the bay" stephanie chuang live with details on a second victim found. steph? >> late last night we confirmed there has been a second death in the valley fire, but still waiting this morning to hear from the lake county sheriff on who this second victim was. what we do know was that at least four people have been identified as missing. one of them a former san jose mercury news reporter, 69-year-old leonard neft and he said on the phone saturday afternoon he told them he was ignoring a warning to leave because he did not smell smoke. but not long after that he realized he had to go and try to drive on a road and hike it out. he lived on anderson road where

houses were burned through. again, he is just one of the four still missing. >> the circumstances surrounding the report lead us to believe that they may have been overcome by the fire. people last heard of them before the fire broke out and haven't been heard from since. >> lake county sheriff brian martin is not releasing the names of the other three that are missing. the other in a remote area of midd middletown. that man was on the phone with his wife and said the truck wouldn't start and he was going to try to make a run for it. the four people have not been heard since saturday. we're waiting to hear from the identity on the suspected victim. could be a fifth person, not one of the four missing, but that is considered unlikely. live here in calistoga. >> sad news coming out of there. thank you. volunteers were in mop-up mode overnight as the tent city where most evacuees were staying.

they are making the best of a really horrible situation. two families, neighbors from middletown are sharing a tent. insaid four kids, three dogs and a cat. >> it's a mixed thing. i'm happy that our house is and we're okay. obviously, i'm grateful that my family is okay. but i feel torn between being happy but then knowing that a lot of people and families that i know and care about lost their houses. >> so many families say they left with nothing but the clothing on their backs and volunteers have given them everything from tents to dog food. about 100 miles east of us two bodies were also found in the aftermath of the butte fire. a man who refused to evacuate died when the fire swept through. while crews were investigating that death, they found a second body. the butte fire started about a week ago and burned through roughly 75,000 acres and it's about half contained at this

magnitude quake that struck off the northern chilean coastline yesterday killing five people. causing small tsunami waves that flooded small coastal towns in that country. other tsunami waves have been traveling away from chile. across the pacific. you look at this live picture from long beach in southern california and the first set of waves, if you want to call them that, were supposed to hit around 4:46, 4:47 local time. we watched it and there was no perceptible change in the level of water. that's not to say that it didn't come here, but maybe just only six inches or less. it just wassen something th en' could see. not dramat,ic, again. they expect the waves to continue. those waves expected to arrive a little bit after 6:00 a.m. our time. >> so far it's just an advisory. it's actually downgraded from a watch. so, the likelihood of something devastating is fairly low. there's no relationship between

earthquakes in chile with earthquakes in california. so, we locally certainly have nothing to worry about. >> several video cameras caught yesterday's quake in chile. 8.3 caused capital buildings in santiago to sway. many people ran out into the streets. several aftershocks. at least one which was a magnitude 7. reporting live here in berkeley, bob redell. thank you, bob. new details on a home invasion turned hostage situation out of took two people hostage at the home on belmont avenue. the s.w.a.t team helped arrive on scene and resolve that situation. no one was hurt. we'll monitor the story and bring you details as they become available. new details in a bizarre kidnapping case. this morning, the victims in that apparently very real kidnapping plan to sue the city. back in march, denise and her

not only there, but all across the bay area. i'll sheyou thow you that in a minutes. >> across the san mateo bridge, there you go. north of 92, that's where all the activity has been happening. registered right around 29th and although it was reported in your middle lanes chp should be there. i'll let you know if there are any other problems. the volume of traffic and quick look at the south bay shows you north 101 no problems and this is what it looks like all over silicon valley. coming up, the app saving lives. >> 911, what is your emergency? changing the way you get help. plus, coming out swinging. the winners and losers of last night's republican debate coming up next.

about moments and, boy, we're punching, again. >> donald trump gave as good as he got last night. in typical fashion trump took aim and contrary to the spirit of ronald reagan, whose presidential library hosted the debate, the candidates did fire back. there was some personal moments in there. carly fiorina got emotional when talking about her 35-year-old stepdaughter who died as a result of drug addiction. jeb bush revealed that he smoked pot 40 years ago and tweeted later, sorry, mom. the 11 leading candidates squared off for more than three hours and the candidates talked about other issues aside from legalizing marijuana. they talked about immigration and iran and jobs and the economy and taxes. carly fiorina whose leading poll numbers landed her on the first stage this season wasn't the only one to violate ronald reagan's rules. don't attack your fellow republicans. >> i think woman all over this country heard very clearly what rand paul said. >> do we want someone with that
