pretty much your only alternate, but a tough drive for that portion. meanwhile, the upper east shore maintains a difficult build and the earlier crash in san francisco. 101 at cesar chavez and recovery down towards 280. rest of the bay behaving pretty normally. live look from the foster city of the mateo bridge. steady stream of lights that looks like it is blown up. a steady build over to the peninsula. back to you. >> thanks, mike. new this morning. frightened drivers and passengers thought it was gunfire. their windshield shattered from something that seemed to fall right from the sky. all happened as they drove on 280 in san francisco overnight. >> chuck coppela is live in the peninsula. the chp says theses were bottles or rocks maybe thrown from an overpass. >> scott, we justed with the chp and both chp and police investigators say it's most likely bottles that were causing most of the damage when these two incidents were happening. happened on the northbound i-280

extension into the city just before midnight. just before where the ucf children's hospital is located. two overpasses just before mariposa street where a taxi was struck with tourists who had just arrived at sfo that were heading into the city for their first night here. >> we just got off straight off the airport and first thing that happens. welcome to san francisco. >> so loud that the parties have reported it as to be a bullet. but once we got on scene and after speaking with the drivers, we established that some objects other than bullets because the physical evidence shows that those are not bullets. >> the police and the chp know of at least two vehicles that were struck. both windshields were smashed. luckily the drivers kept control of their vehicles. but it's the kind of crime that could be felony charges brought, if intent to cause injury is

proven. so far police have arrested no one and are hoping for tips. reporting live in san francisco, i'm chuck coppola. more devastation this morning as the valley fire continues to grow north of napa. the fire now 76,000 acres destroyed more than 1,000 homes and 6,500 home are still in the path of the flames. it's growing, but it's 70% contained.

and grange road and pge crews were still trying to fix fire lines there. many acknowledge it will be a struggle to rebuild, but the people around them that made everything so much better. >> nobody, lake county has a bad r repwe're a family. >> also this weekend people were allowed to go back to middletown where a water boil notice is in effect. evacuations may move into middletown and the twin pine casino allowing most evacuees to be closer to home. as for schools, all in kelseyville returned to class. just minutes ago the scene of the calistoga athletic booster club was serving breakfast, lunch and dinner to people here. hundreds in the evacuation center and we're told this breakfast will be the very last one because it has been told the volunteers have been told by the

mayor here that they need to consolidate and move it all to one kitchen but they said this is really going to impact how many people can be fed. you can see even as people are allowed back home, still a lot going on in places like the evacuation center and people still trying to help their neighbors. live here in calistoga. >> hats off to that booster club. the worst fire ever in terms of number of structures damaged or destroyed was the oakland hills fire, of course, back in '91. it destroyed 2900 buildings and killed 25 people. in the meantime, firefighters battling the tas sajara. authorities are calling the death suspicious. the fire is burning near the town of jamesburg started saturday burning 1,200 acres and today sheriff deputies plan to escort some of the people who were vacuated back into their neighborhood to see if they have anything to go back home to.

just opened last month. >> the first day of the school being open, lara, was august 18th and fast forward about a month's time later. a staff member was arrested for molesting an 8-year-old student on campus. now, the district had a special board meeting last night to approve the principal's decision to close the school temporarily. the notice of that meeting may read it was the principal's decision, but it really is by order of the santa clara county office of education that granted the school charter contingent upon proper background checks and fingerprinting of staff. within the first month of the school's operation, that 18-year-old teacher's aide and lunchroom worker molested an 8-year-old girl on campus. jonathan chow was arraigned on friday on charges of molestation and child pornography and that's when the county office of education learned that the charter school had not met that requirement of fingerprinting and background checking all employees. that's according to the "mercury news." the school has 160 students from

kindergarten through sixth grade and at this point it's unclear when they will return to class. we have reached outto the school board members, as well as the schools and the county office of education. find out why there wasn't a mechanism in place to trigger notifications to the county office of education that the requirements, the background requirements were not met here at spark academy. we are waiting to hear back, but are certainly going to be digging on this one later today. in sunnyvale, kris sanchez. the search continues this morning for a person suspected of armed robbery at an east bay gas station. the suspect used a handgun to rob the grand gasoline store on c ontra costa boulevard. the cashier told police the gunman got away with cash and the chp helicopter searched the area, but did not find the suspect. 6:08 and monday morning getting your workweek kicked off with a lot of heat coming to the bay area. >> kari joining us with promises
