communities. ready, set, boom. that is officially the fate of the old span of the bay bridge, but not everybody is looking forward to that implosion. "today in the bay" starts right now. and a good friday morning. thank you for joining us, i'm sam brock. >> i'm laura garcia-cannon. let's get a look at that forecast with meteorologist kari hall. >> it is friday and it will be much warmer this afternoon. the warmest day of the week expected today as those temperatures go way up from yesterday. it is cool to start as we walk out the door, 58 degrees in the peninsula and san francisco at 57 degrees. here's a look at those highs today. around 84 degrees in the south bay. east bay 83 degrees and a tri-valley up to 88 degrees. san francisco expect a high of 71. i'll give you a look at that weekend forecast and a chance of rain. that's coming up in a few minutes. right now mike is tracking a few problems around oakland. >> kari, big heads up for folks on the nimts. southbound and at the coliseum

is where it starts. this is the road crew pushing folks over. that is jammed. look at your map. davis in san leand row. it looked like they just cleared because i've seen some recovery for those speed sensors. san leand row boulevard are alternates. the live camera shows the toll plaza looks like what i'll show you in a second because i didn't put in the run down. >> we'll check back with you, thank you very much. it is 5:01. a developing story now. a painfully familiar scene unfolds in oregon. nine lives lost after a gunman opens fire at a community college. now, friends and family are only left with prayers and a lot of tears this morning. >> candlelight vigil as you see there. how the community there in oregon is holding up following this latest tragedy. >> good morning. sheriff's deputies and state troopers have had the campus closed since the shooting. this has been an active crime scene here in roseburg, oregon.

last night hundreds of people showed up for a candlelight vigil. the college president told the crowd that together they will get through this tragedy. ten hours before, horror on the community college campus. police say the gunman identified as 26-year-old christopher harper mercer entered one of the classrooms and opened fire. one witness says mercer asked people their religion before he pulled the trigger. it has been reported that he had three pistols and a long rifle during the assault. mercer was killed in a gun battle with arriving police officers. yesterday most everyone was in shock here, but many feel today is a day when the pain will really sink in and they vow to ban together as a community. we're going to hold each other's hands and we're going to get through. >> it is actually really hard. i picked him up early from

school. it is hard. >> reporter: the hospitals are reportedly running low on blood. today the community college will come together in the parking lot of mercy hospital here in roseburg to donate. police have not revealed a motive for the shooting. i'm damian trujillo. >> we talked about this after columbine and after tucson and after newtown. >> the names are all familiar. that list continues to grow. mounting anger and frustration from president obama following the shooting. he says as a country, we're becoming numb to tragedies like these. >> "today in the bay" kris sanchez joins us with more on how washington is reacting. >> you heard, laura, some of the tone of president obama. he did little to mask the anger and frustration that he says that once again someone was able to get enough weapons to carry out a murderous rampage and that there are still no common sense gun laws to prevent that. here's a photo of the president watching the shooting at umpqua

community college unfolding. ours is the only advance country in the world that sees these shootings every few months. the president wants what he calls common sense gun control laws that allow law-abiding gun owners to own weapons for their own protection or for sport. at the same time making it harder for criminals to hurt other people. he added that he knows that people will accuse him of politicizing the issue, which he says should be politicized. >> this is a political choice that we make. to allow this to happen every few months in america. we collectively are answerable to those families who lose their loved ones. because of our inaction. >> now, two months before the gunman opened fire killing nine people on that oregon campus, oregon had strengthened its gun control laws and started

instituting universal background checks to make it more difficult or, rather, to make sure that there was nor accountable when people were trying to buy guns. now, president obama also remarked that the last time he talked about common sense gun control laws a mass shooting on the very same day. by the way, republican candidates for president have responded. most of them sending their thoughts and their prayers. something that the president said in his speech last night simply will not be enough. >> all right, thank you very much. >> stay with nbcbayarea.com as new developments unfold this morning. a news conference scheduled for later this morning and we'll, of course, bring it to you live when it starts right here on "today in the bay." it is a go. caltrans has the final permit to blow up part of the old bay bridge and we're now learning how it will all happen. "today in the bay" stephanie chuang with a look at the details for us. good morning, steph. >> laura, it is hard to see. i know the eastern span. the old span behind us.

but some red lights in the distance behind me and that is where there is a concrete pier set for this implosion for november 7th. let's take a look at the animation of how caltrans hopes this will all go down after it detonates 600 charges. a bubble curtain to protect wildlife around the concrete debris set to fall down into a hollow structure that is already in place under the bay floor. caltrans blast mats will cover the pier and marine mammals living in the work zone. there's concern about the creation of a toxic hot spot. a lot of the animals and fish around here eat but environmental protection was a very key element in the planning, which is why it decided on a november blast date. >> that's the time in which the least amount of mammals and water or life will be in the bay. >> caltrans says doing it manually would cost $254 million

and would expose wildlife to months of work compared to the $160 million implosion, which is expected to take just six seconds. the bay bridge will stay open during this implosion, but the chp is set to temporarily close this off. this stretch of the eastern span to drivers so they're not alarmed when there is this muffled blast and the walkway will be closed, as well. >> they wouldn't want to be driving when that happened. >> that would scare the you know what out of you. if you didn't know that was coming. plenty of forewarning and the temperatures will be rising into the weekend. good morning. >> good morning. much warmer today and now it's not too bad. we're right at about 57 to 58 degrees all across the bay. and then look at these highs this afternoon. 81 degrees in san jose. so, that's much warmer than yesterday. palo alot 80 degrees and mission district at 70 degrees and gilroy up to 85 degrees and 86 in napa and oakland 88 and

livermore a high today of 88 degrees. and it does go down this weekend. and a chance of rain. i'll show you that coming up in a few minutes. let's check in now with mike for traffic. >> first, i want to come through. not exciting, but that's what you want to see if you're heading there right now. light here. let's show you just south of the bay bridge crossing the water there. we're looking south to 880 and just south of the coliseum. a lot of folks bailing here because of all this traffic jammed up and the flashing lights and the crews still there. the map shows you the recovery for those speeds starting back at a marina all the way back to the coliseum. alternate eastbound 580. that is the only real slow drive. coming up next, a double whammy of storm as hurricane joaquin barreling towards the coast.

joaquin's path this morning.. though the category four hurricane's odds of hitting the u- we are tracking hurricane joaquin's path this morning. though the odds of hitting the u.s. dwindling. forecasters say many will still feel the wrath of this very vicious storm. >> bob redell join us with how communities are preparing and those rain totals still looking pretty hefty. >> unfortunately you're correct, sam and laura. looking more like the east coast will dodge a direct hit. hurricane joaquin to miss the eastern seaboard and head north, instead. as you can see in this photo

taken by astronaut scott kelly from the international space station. it is parked over the bahamas where it's producing sustained winds of 130 miles per hour. so far reports of high surf, flooding and downed trees. now, as it turns north, according to the forecast, it begins to skirt the u.s. coastline. joaquin is expected to bring in lots of rain. 12 to 24 inches in some places. that's why governor chris christie has already declared a state of emergency in his state of new jersey and that's why people have already started to evacuate in places like the outer banks of north carolina and that's where we find nbc's jay gray who is located in kitty hawk, north carolina. obviously, nice and cozy it looks like there, jay. what is the biggest concern for people there? >> hey, bob, as you talk about, it's the water here, not wind. they already started evacuating some of the outer banks here. the areas that are only accessible by ferry. they want to make sure they get people to higher ground. make sure they're not trapped by what they expect to be rising

waters here. higher tides will likely see that. but the rain going to be a big issue. the carolinas have caused rain over the last several days. here they had minimal flooding and now you add joaquin to the mix and even though it's not going to make landfall here, a brush from the elements will add rain. four to six inches and too much to bear for an area that is already saturated. heavy flooding expected here. some people have boarded up concerned about the wind or if the storm might make a change, but most just making sure they have plenty water and food that they can sustain for a couple of days without power and, especially so they don't have to get out and what is expected to be some high flood waters, bob. it is going to be a mess. the rain falling right now. expected to just intensify through the day and weekend. back to you. >> thank you very much very dry jay gray in kitty hawk. >> the latest forecast calling for hurricane joaquin to not

directly hit the eastern seaboard and instead head north there and that area, again, bringing lots of rain as you can see there in north carolina. sam? >> more water than they know what to do with there. back here in the bay area, not enough. as a result, hundreds of trees dying on the peninsula. the culprit, the drought. it palo alto removed 400 dead trees this year alone. nearly twice the number the city usually hasz to remove. pao alto is urging residents to let their lawns die but keep watering their trees. the city is expanding its own watering service deploying more trucks to water. amazon will stop allowing third party sellers to offer google and apple video streaming services. >> for that and the rest of your news we turn to landon dowdy. good morning, landon. >> sam and laura, good morning to both of you. my favorite friday of the month, jobs friday. wall street is looking athead that big economic report. the september jobs report.

it is expected to show another solid month of hiring with company's forecast to add about 200,000 jobs and that could give the fed room to raise interest rates either this month or in december. unemployment is seen holding at 5.1%. futures are higher this morning after stocks managed to cut sharp losses on thursday, which were sparked by disappoint, by a disappointing report on manufacturing. the dow closing down 12 points and the nasdaq edging up seven to 4627. credit reporting agency expeerian said hackers got access to personal data including social security numbers and birth dates from about 15 million t-mobile customers. t-mobile uses expeerian for credit checks and people who signed up for wireless service between september 2013 and this year may be affected. and amazon is telling third party sellers they will no longer be able to offer apple and google video streaming devices because they don't work with their prime instant video

service. video is an important part of its prime membership program which costs $99 a year. apple tv and google chromecast will be banned but still buy other streaming devices that are compatible with prime video. sam and laura, back over to you. have a good weekend. >> you, too. california is now conducting its own investigation of volkswag volkswagen. the state is dropping out of a multi-state investigation to conduct its own probe into vw's emission to pass smog tests. california is making this move because it has the nation's strongest environmental laws. first a watch and now a ring. could apple be developing a ring? a recently filed patent certainly looks like it. according to the filing, the ring could be linked to larger device such as an iphone, but also be made with or without a touch display. and before you get too excited. apple files many patent

applications and many of them never make it to market. >> earlier this morning we were talking about marriage. marrying weather and traffic. can you imagine getting a marriage proposal from an iring. >> a text. will. >> with a smily face with a little ring next to it. will you say yes? >> no. i'm old-fashioned. you know. you know, why not. let's check out this weather. it is going to be warming up today. as we get a live look from san bruno mountain. we do have have mostly clear skies to start out the day. check out the seven-day forecast as it comes up at the bottom of the screen. chance of rain early sunday morning. as we get a look now at what's happening now outside as you step out. it's 52 degrees in the north bay and 57 in san francisco and the east bay and 58 degrees now in the peninsula. in the south bay, expect highs up to 84 degrees today. 80 in the peninsula and 83

degrees in the east bay. and the tri-valley will be up 25088 degrees in san francisco. 71 degrees today. with all that sunshine, not much of a wind. let's go through this wind forecast the arrows show you the direction of the wind. more coming in from the north and very light to start out the day. but the winds will be picking up as we go into the afternoon and nice litdal breeze. but still not onshore. so, when we don't have much of an onshore flow, you know those temperatures are heating up and windy along the immediate coast. hour by hour in oakland. bright sunshine at 7:00 in the morning and we're at 55 dexwrees and then warms up to the 60s as you head outside by 11:00, just taking a break or heading out for lunch, it will be 70 degrees and then in the low 70s throughout the afternoon and dinnertime will be at about 73 degrees. the futurecast shows that we will have clear skies throughout the day and most of the day tomorrow. but there will be a couple of disturbances moving through. it could give us some scattered

showers late saturday night into early. and there will also be the possibility of a little lightning in there, too. hopefully we don't get that. we just need the rain. as we look at the weekend forecast. it will be in the 80s in the north bay. a chance of showers possibly some thunderstorms early sunday morning, but that should not affect your sunday afternoon plans. if you do have plans to travel through oakland, mike's got a heads up. >> heads up for you because that was our slowest somewhat. tough 45 minutes. they had to clear the crews and we just saw a traffic break and all traffic reinstated and little better flow. you're slow from the coliseum down to marina and that early morning road crew took about 45 minutes clear the area and recovering nicely. an easy drive to the bay bridge toll plaza. no big slowing through the east bay and another note northbound 680 and still a stalled big rig blocking your slow lane. that might be a distraction north of the dublin interchange but not a problem as far as the speeds go. zoom out and show you the south bay moves very nicely.

a live look northbound 101 here at 680 interchange. and look at the spacing for these cars. you're at speed through silicon valley. >> thank you very much, mike. coming up, breakfast overnight. a passenger plane disappears in indonesia and the search to find answers. a deadly crash in afghan kills six americans. who is now claiming responsibility for downing the plane. next. got a tip for nbc bay area investigative unit? call 1-888-996-tips or e-mail theunit@nbcbayarea poi koment. ==sam/map== rescue crews in

cannon. =sam/2shot= and i'm sam brock. boxes a very good friday morning to you. thank you for joining us. i'm laura garcia-cannon. >> i'm sam brock. a cool start to your friday, don't get too used to that. let's get a check of the weather with kari hall. >> warming up quickly today with all that sunshine expected across the bay area and much warmer than yesterday. so, as we take a look at what's

happening now across the bay, it's 57 in san francisco and the east bay. the south bay today up to 84 degrees. 86 in the north bay and the peninsula up to 80 degrees. we could be up to 88 degrees in the tri-valley today and san francisco 71 degrees. and a warm day today, but cooler weekend. i'll show you that coming up. mike's tracking a few problems now happening at the toll plaza. >> the toll plaza, kari. it's friday, yes. lighter flow of traffic and still a backup. the cash lanes at the toll plaza. and fastrak lanes a good advantage. we'll show you out on the maps no advantage for the east shore and look at the speeds here. great stuff. zoom past the coliseum and still recovering from earlier road crews that took quite some time to clear in san leandro. despite the slower sensors, the live camera at the coliseum has a nice flow of traffic away from us. there we go southbound with the taillights.

just a couple sets of flashing lights that will clear for the next few minutes. back to you. >> more people were hurt than just the ones that were shot. >> tragedy strikes a community college in oregon as a familiar scene unfolds. a gunman opens fire, killing nine people and wounding a handful of others. >> we have team coverage this morning from community reaction to how president obama is describing the tragedy. first, we turn to kris sanchez in the newsroom with more, kris, on the tense moments before the shots were fired. >> sam, morning will bring no relief to roseburg, oregon, where a gunman killed nine people on a community college campus. many people gathered at a vigil to pray and seek answers that will likely never come. that gunman is described as a shy-year-old man originally from southern california who identified himself as conservative, nonreligious and serially single. the sheriff in charge of the investigation says he did not

raise any reds before yesterday. students who survived the murderous rampage describe it this way. >> we just dropped everything and we ran. and when we ran out of the building, everybody went every which way. it was chaotic. >> my teacher had come running into the room in a very big panic. telling all the students, 20 plus, to come ina teacher's room in the back and hide and duck down and shut off all the lights and don't any noise. >> if it seems like you heard student statement like that before that's what president obama said in his address as he talked to the nation shortly after. hardly masking his anger and frustration for what he says is is a lack of common sense gun control laws. could protect the rights of law-abiding owners while making it harder for people with ill intent to get their hands on guns. the congress' refusal to even fund the tracking of gun violence. now, for more on that part of the story, the political part of the story, we bring in nbc bay

area tracie potts in washington. tracie, the people said people will accuse him of politicizing the issue and he said, that's fine. we should. >> exactly. here on capitol hill. they have been unable to come to any sort of agreement on gun control for the last several years. the president, as you said, was visibly frustrated. having come from before the american people, now more than eight times when there's been a mass shooting to address him. he said it's becoming routine that people are numb to it and thoughts and prayers as you put it are not enough. he called on law-abiding gun owners to leave the charge here to determine whether or not their organizations are properly representing their views. he challenged the media to take a look at gun violence, deaths versus terrorism deaths. obviously, put a lot of time and energy and resources into fighting terror. and then as the president noted, we took a look at those numbers more than 3,000 americans were killed in terrorist-related activity since 2001.

of course, the bulk of that was on 9/11. more than 153,000 in gun violence. the president's point, we need to be pouring a lot more resources in there. top democrats harry reid and nancy pelosi saying this was devastating expressing their own sympathy. on the campaign trail hillary clinton and bernie sanders both calling for more gun control laws. >> a lot of the gop leaders saying their thoughts and prayers are with the folks in oregon. have they said much more than that? thank you very much, tracie. >> stay with nbcbayarea.com and we'll bring you the updated developments this morning. we know there are news conference we are following them for you, as well. we'll bring you more of what the president will talk about in the next half hour. laura and sam. >> thank you very much. we'll continue to follow our developing story and bring you all the latest as we learn more

about the background of the shooter and what action may or may not be taken. the september jobs report just released about 142,000 jobs were added last month. experts had predicted more than 200,000 so, obviously, fell substantially short. unemployment did hold steady at 5.1%. meantime, a follow up on a bizarre kidnapping case in vallejo once thought to be just a hoax. a federal grand jury indicted the prime suspect in that case. matthew mueller of tahoe is facing charges. he broke into the home of aaron quin and denise huskins. he held her for ransom and released her in southern california. vallejo police initially thought this case was a hoax. he is scheduled to be arraigned on monday. it is 5:34. fbi agents are planning to pay a visit to the embattled santa clara county jail. they're looking into ongoing criminal investigations at the

jail and inmate complaints. three deputies are facing murder charges in connection with the death of an inmate in august. sources tell us five other deputies are on leave, three of them linked to an investigation into inappropriate text messages. the sheriff says she's also bringing in an outside agency to review jail policies. >> we are reviewing policies. in fact, we've asked the national institute of corrections to come in and to do a top to bottom review of our policies, procedures and our practices. >> the feds will also be looking into the death of a second inmate. 33-year-old walter roches was found dead in his jail cell on monday. a preliminary autopsy found no evidence of foul play, but an exact cause of death is still unknown. a developing story now preparing for the worst. hurricane joaquin is swirling off the east coast right now and the exact path is still unclear. but residents are gearing up for the vicious storm just in case. >> bob redell joining us with

how these communities are preparing and doesn't have to make landfall to make a mess here. >> unfortunately, it doesn't. fortunately, sam and laura, the latest forecast predicts that the strfcenter of hurricane joa will not hit the center of the united states. it is still expected to bring of rain from states to south carolina all the way up to new england. as you can see in the cell phone video. joaquin is still a very dangerousgory 4 that is right now parked over the bahamas with maximum sustained winds of 130s an hour. it is expected to turn north and run parallel to the united states with a close forecast for the south oop dern new england coastline. joaquin has forced the evacuation of people living in places like the outer banks of north carolina. that's where we find nbc jay gray. i'm assuming the evacuations are still in effect for that area in spite of the latest forecast. >> yeah, no, bob, you're absolutely right. especially for people who live in areas where they're only

accessible by ferry. that's the main concern right now that those folks could be cut off by what is expected to be some pretty intense rain and flooding over the next several days. look, the carolinas have seen rain over the last several days. they've seen some flooding in certain areas. low lying areas. but now you add joaquin to the mix. as you said, even though this storm and joaquin will brush the outer banks and bring more precipitation and they can't handled it here. alreadyerated and add four to six inches into the mix and already a mess here. a lot of people evacuating and others boarding up just in case the storm makes a turn that is unexpected. but most making sure they have plenty of food and water that they can sustain them selves for a few days without electricity. they don't want to get out in what is expected to be severe flooding here. it will start this evening and run at least through the weekend and a lot of people watching very closely to see what comes

next with joaquin. that's the latest live here in kitty hawk, bob, back to you. >> jay gray, thank you very much. stay dry out there my friend. another thing, governor chris christie of new jersey has declared a state of emergency for his state. the garden state of new jersey. you recall a few years ago they did have super storm sandy that is still fresh on their minds. very prepared this time in case hur wane joaquin causes a lot of, which it is forecast to do. sam? >> keeping a close eye on that, thank you very much, bob. it is official that caltrans has the final permit to implode part of the old bay bridge. environmentalists not too thrilled about that outcome. stephanie chuang joining us live on where we go from here. hey, steph. >> it is tough to see right now. with the new span lit up. but behind me some lights in the water in the distance and this concrete pier where this implosion is set to happen. this pier equivalent to a

five-story building weighing 20 million pounds, but people probably won't see nor hear much. first of all, this area closed off people. this is an animation of caltrans plan. shockwaves absorbed by a bubble curtain. the structure that is already in place under the bay floor. protecting nearby wildlife was top of mind. the massive blast mats will cover the pier to help contain the dust and the november blast date was key because that's when caltrans says the least amount of wildlife in the bay. although they're giving the project the benefit of the doubt, they're keep a close eye on impact studies to come. >> we'll look at the data that is produced. probably in the late winter, early spring. they'll release that and they'll reconsider our stance because they're going to see permits for another 20 piles that they'd like to do this for. >> dismantling the concrete pier

manually and take over a year. meantime, the $160 million implosion is expected to take just six seconds. the chp is set to temporarily shut down traffic in both directions and, of course, caltrans, chp, they don't want drivers on here. they're not going to want pedestrians or cyclists around here. live here, stephanie chuang, "today in the bay." >> thank you very much, steph. you made it to friday morning. what is the forecast? >> congratulations to that. as a bonus, kari, you have a forecast, too. starting off in the upper 50s and a giants game going on today. the big one for the giants as they face off with the rockies. first pitch 65 degrees. cool and clear out there this evening. and a few more clouds moving in the end of the game. 62 degrees. winds out of the northwest at 10 to 20 miles an hour. it will be breezy. a look at all the microclimates in the 80s today for the south bay, palo alto 80 degrees and

embarcadero 71 degrees and 86 degrees in napa and antioch 88 degrees and dublin today topping out at 85 degrees. let's check in now with mike keeping an eye on the toll plaza. >> that's right, kari. looking that metering lights and you can't really see the lights well, but you could see everybody waiting. that makes the bridge clear up a bit as those metering lights turn on. we'll look at your map and we have the backup at the toll plaza going back in towards the maze and off the berkeley curve but it's gentle because it's friday. slowing in on the approach at san francisco. the rest of your east bay, look at that. the north bay, a smooth flow. zoomed out to show you a little slowing through highway 4 on antioch. and the earlier big rig has cleared and just a few minutes ago got that all cleared through the area fremont and southbound 880 in towards san jose. back to you. >> thank you very much. coming up, let's just say you won $310 million. what do you do? quit your job? the latest on the new jackpot

winner. got a tip for nbc bay area's investigative unit. call 1-888-996-tips or e-mail theunit@nbcbayarea.com. nbcbayarea, we investigate. sludge at the base of a cooling

tower is the source of an outbreak of legionnaires disease at san quentin state nchlthsd at the base of a cooling tower is the source of an outbreak of legionnaire disease at san quintan state prison. state officials reported yesterday that bacteria that sickened more than 80 inmates
