the devastation from wildfires. and national fire agency found wildfires destroyed more than 11 million acres of land in 2015 and we're lonely haa only halfw. firefighters battling wildfires in four western states and in texas. back to california, not just from the fire, we have, of course, earthquake, too, happening today. a hands-on learning experience about earthquake safety. >> hundreds of bay area elementary school students will be getting this morning. >> bob redell live in san jose to tell us about the great shake out and the three words all the kids have to learn here, bob, moving forward. >> sam and kris, yes, great shakeout 2015 taking place not only here in the bay area but throughout the rest of the state and throughout the country. millions of people expected to participate including elementary students coming here to the tech later this morning to practice their safety.

this saturday the loma quake rocked the bay area. magnitude 6.9 and killed 63 people and injured thousands more and caused billions of dollars in damage and just over a year ago, we had a taste of what a big quake can be like. that magnitude 6.0 struck napa causing one death and causing millions. hundreds of millions of dollars in that area. report oing live here in san hooza, bob redell, "today in the bay." >> i did not know what you weren't supposed to go in a door frame any more. that's what we did during the last big one. >> it changes. you see more than just a few specks of green on the radar. now it's like a whole wave of green behind you, kari. >> not for everyone, though, because it's been so hit and miss and now we're seeing a lot of this sizzle out as it moves into the bay area. could not be done with this rain

resource for victims and the advocates for helping them rebuild their lives. >> that site also ames to inform cyberexploitation to get images of themselves removed from those websites. if someone steals your personal identity, it could cost you. turns out for thieves, it doesn't cost them much. researchers say stolen data like debit and credit card numbers sell for as little as 55 cents online. in the u.s., stolen debit credit card information typically sells for $5 to $30. onlinia streaming accounts, though, seem to be in higher demand. now, many hbo now and hbo go accounts were recently listed for less than 10 bucks. netflix says it's having problems sending you the bill for its services. >> scott mcgrew, a strange explanation this morning from the los gados company. >> a lot of oits credit cards aren't going through. one of the things we learned as netflix opened its financial

books to investors last night. netflix says the number of u.s. subscribers is not growing as quickly as it used to. we kind of expected that. investors also concerned about cost. how much all that cool programming will cost the company. as for the credit cards, netflix says because nearly every american got one of those new credit cards last month the banks updated from the old magnetic stripes with the chip cards, the credit card numbers on file with netflix are outdated. we've never heard that excuse before. speaking of netflix context, beast of no nation debuts tomorrow. a movie that will run on net flix and play in movie theaters at the same time. a movie about child warriors in a fictional or unnamed african nation. let's check your news before the bell. landon dowdy is live. good morning, landon. >> hey, there, scott. good morning to you. the markets look to rebound today after ending their session lows wednesday. futures are pointing to a higher

go daddy is probably better known for its sexy ads and actually more than equal pay. but what you're seeing here is marketing and sexy scenes to work. the company trying to get away from this image. so, women make 1 penny on average more than men. slightly less than engineering but slightly more in other departments at go-daddy. manage where the average woman makes 94 cents for every dollar a man makes. that is still way higher than average. >> yeah. isn't the average like 75 or 74%? >> according to the department of labor, yeah. a lot of statistics that have to be brought into that. >> i knew that would be used against me. i see your challenge and take you out to lunch, but not outside today. a little wet out there. >> going to have some spots that get a little bit of rain and some of us will have sunshine and mixture of sun and clouds throughout the day.

not everyone seeing the same thing and we're seeing that even now as we head out the door. taking a live look now at the bay bridge. we do not see any rain there. but you could still have low clouds and mist as we get the day started. look at these temperatures now. 58 degrees in santa rosa san jose is at 66 and 72 degrees in concord and still some mild and humid air all across the bay as this weather system continues to spin. it is bringing some storms and lightning across parts of the central valley. and some of the heavier downpours to the south of us. right now we're taking a break from some of that rain but tracking some more of those showers moving in from the south. and that could affect that morning commute and produce some more wet roads out there. models do show that we could still have a chance of rain throughout the morning. and there could be another wave moving through around 8:00 or 9:00 when the roads really start to get busy. even early afternoon, another round of showers, even circling around to the north bay will be

possible. producing some very light rain amounts, not showing a whole lot there and then clears out later on tonight. as we go hour-by-hour in oakland, we'll see temperatures at 61 degrees at 7:00 and throughout theern moing up mor and lunchtime as sam takes kris outside for lunch. a mixture of sun and clouds ands in the low 70s today. we'll have another chance of rain in the forecast. this is really great that we're starting to see some active weather moving in. this one with a cold front passing on saturday and it looks like our best chance of rain will be for the north bay and the rest of us picking up on some breezy winds. very light amounts of rain heading into the weekend. let's check in now with mike to see if there are any slow downs. >> watching real close and you got excited about the weather coming in. i'll watch you and how excited you get. look at over here the bay bridge this backup typical and metering lights over the next ten minutes or so and no big surprises.

theunit@nbcbayarea.com. nbc bay area, we investigate. again. an inmate has filed a

civil suit, claiming the guards at the san under the microscope, again. an inmate has filed a civil suit claiming that guards at the santa clara county jail violated his rights under the americans with disability act. >> that incident in question happened last year when the deputies had to go into the inmate's cell and forcibly remove him.

exclusive video from that force removal. >> well, this is a video showing some of that extraction. we must warn you, there are mourn moans and screams coming from the inmate as the guards try to get him to stand up. >> miller. check. >> this is exclusive video of the extraction in july of last year. we are blurring the faces of the correctional deputies as they are not charged with any wrongdoing. >> stand up. put your hands behind your back. >> you can hear the deputies ask the inmate several times to stand up so they could perform a routine inspection of his cell. after several warnings, the guards ultimately pepper spray the inmate before strapping him down to a wheelchair to take him to what they call decontamination. this is the inmate today. he doesn't want us to use his first name. when we went to speak with him, mr. miller was interview under

to the room by deputies. he is in jail waiting charnels on attempted murder, domestic violence and witness intimidation. according to the lawsuit, the inmate's attorney this letter to the county council the same day as the extraction stating his client needs a wheelchair because he suffers from epilepsy. his lawyer says the inmate is no longer able to stand following a seizure and fall in jail of march of last year, prior to the extraction and has a medical record to back that claim. and ever since, the lawyer claims miller lost feeling in his lower extremities. the inmate is now suing the county and the deputies for allegedly violating his rights as a disabled person. hes he was repeatedly denied use of a wheelchair to transport him to meetings with his attorney and attend hearings. >> how are you feeling today? >> in serious pain, sir. >> the inmate told me he wasn't able to look up at the camera because of the pain from his ongoing medical condition. >> i would have called for a

nurse. >> mark garcia worked in the same jail as a guard for almost five years and retired as a sheriff's lieutenant in santa clara county. >> your last chance. you will be pepper sprayed. >> having reviewed the video, garcia says a camera should not have panned away when deputies pepper sprayed miller. and he says wheelchairs are readily for guards. >> you should know this guy's medical background. does he need a chair? if he does, get him one. >> reporter: not knowing the entire circumstances around the extraction, he saw nothing in the video that was grossly negligent. >> i will not use extraction. >> reporter: judge steven manley runs a court and in general he says extractions of inmates with mental health issues is counterproductive. doctors ruled miller is competent enough to stand trial, but that court report also raised some concerns about his mental stability. >> rather than confront people

with force, you confront them with someone who is really not there to make them do anything, but to talk to them about what they need to do. >> reporter: the sheriff's department released this statement saying, "while we cannot discuss mr. miller's personal situation, those decisions are typically made in connotation with medical staff based on what is necessary for the inmate. we believe that mr. miller received care consistent with his medical need." >> the sheriff's office said been reviewing internal videos and they believe the inmate was moved in accordance with their policies. you can read the entire statement on our website, nbcbayar nbcbayarea.com. right now at 6:00 a change in strategy. president obama's new plan to keep u.s. troops in afghanistan longer than he originally planned. plus, this super size sinkhole causing some problems for parents trying to drop off their kids this morning. also the technology crews are using to figure out why this bay area roadway gave way.
