4:37 on your thursday, check out this wild new video from midland texas. the good news, the giant twister-like cloud thing heading towards the camera is actually not a tornado, it's a gustnado. lots of dust caught up in wind gusts along with hail, that's how those are formed during thunderstorms. nobody was hurt in the gustnado. an investigation is under way after an explosion and fire ripped through an apartment in pleasant hill last night. it ended up killing an elderly man who lives inside. firefighters said the man turned on a propane tank and that caused the explosion. nobody else was injured. more witness testimony is expected today as the antolin garcia torres murder trial continues. yesterday a key witness for the defense took the stand. danny fernandez says he is the

suspect's best friend and the two went snowboarding the day after lamar disappeared. his testimony comes on the heels who raised questions about why sierra's cell phone was reactivated more than 12 hours after she disappeared. here's steven clark. >> the defense is trying to establish that the cell phone is a sign of life. that it's possible sierra lamar was alive long after the prosecution suggested she was kidnapped and murdered. >> prosecutors suggest the cell phone may have turned on after it was exposed to moisture. the bay area's newest hov express lanes are getting closer to going live. for proof, drivers only need to look up. you can see test messages along the northbound toll signs for the 680 contra costa express lane between san ramon and walnut creek. those messages are expected to continue through the spring. >> the road i take to st. mary's. >> the long road there. how about a road out to sea, my

with the dow falling the ninth time in the past ten days. the nasdaq rising for a fourth straight session, stocks in general were boosted by the energy sector and as investors digested economic data. reports on unemployment and gdp. the dow falling 42 points while the nasdaq rose 22 to 5897. as you mentioned, snapchat is teaming up with nbc universal to make the messaging app the home for olympic themed content for the 2018 winter games in south korea. the deal with nbc saw olympic-related filters and lenses to advertisers for the first time. nbc, by the way, is an investor in snap, which is the parent company of snapchat. and lyft is testing a new fixed route shuttle service in chicago and san francisco aimed at commuters who regularly take busy routes. you'll see a shuttle option for line rides in the lift app but only if your pickup and dropoff locations are close enough to one of the test routes. the service is only available during the morning and evening rush hours but fares are set at

a fixed rate so people can avoid surge pricing during those times. back over to you. >> they can no what to expect. thank you, kate. >> interesting concept. we'll cover that in our 6:00 hour. thank you, kate. jr. firefighters regularly training and exercising. this is an interesting take on it. a northern california fire station decided to take things to the next level. check this out. crews in orland are playing dodgeball in all of their gear. the equipment weighs more than 40 pounds. it may look like just another game of dodge ball -- though i don't think it does -- but it's an exercise to control breathing so air tanks last as long as possible. >> i'm so impressed by firefighters, they're amazing. >> plus you have to remember the five principles, dodge, duck, dip, dive and dodge -- >> you saw the movie. >> very, very nice. >> i guess i'm m.i.a. because i don't get. >> it it's from the movie

"dodgeball" it was vince vaughn or a guy named patches o'houlihan. you probably don't need to see that movie. >> show me the calendar and we're good to go the firefighters calendar. >> moving along. a little bit of a change this morning. here's the camera -- so silly. okay, here's the san mateo bridge right now. the mist, you can see it on the camera lens and as the drivers make it across having to deal with breezy winds and having to turn on the windshield wiper. there may be low visibility at times as heavier rain continues across the sacramento valley and moving towards the east. we will see rain but clearing out later today the wind will be the next issue we have to deal with. as the seven-day forecast comes up on the bottom of the screen, we'll have rain drops today but the rest of the forecast is dry.

look at the wind speeds coming in from the northwest. up to 20 miles an hour at least the start along the coast will be higher, up to 30 miles an hour and that wind advisory continues throughout the day as the winds continue to pick up for the coast and the hills. we'll see the highest wind speeds and then calming down later tonight and throughout the day tomorrow, still quite breezy. be prepared for the potential of power outages. in these areas the winds may be up to 45 miles an hour plus and we will see the potential also for some of those smaller trees being knocked down. high temperatures up to 67 degrees in morgan hill, as we head through the east bay, 68 in concord, livermore 69 degrees. 65 in belmont and bailey city 60 degrees. san francisco 60 in the outer sunset and novato 68 degrees today. as we look ahead to see what

else is coming down the pike, well, not a whole lot as we will see weather systems rolling just to the north of us so it looks like we will have more dry weather in the forecast and as we start the bay bridge pre-season series today it will be at 58 degrees at 5:00 and a little cooler in time for the game to start so that if you're heading out there bundle up, not only will it be cool but windy, too. 63 will be the high in san francisco, warmer tomorrow as well as saturday and the rest of the forecast is looking good as temperatures hold steady in the lower 60s. heading over to mike updating the crash in san jose. >> i looked at the picture more closely and got better detail. most of the bay moves very well. looking at a little slower through 84, cutting through livermore, but this is the issue in the south bay, this rollover crash. no major injuries reported but it's the opposite direction from what chp originally had.

the live pictures show you, because we have it on our camera at the overcrossing, that's the transition ramp off of southbound 101 and on to northbound 680 so that's the issue leaving san jose as you're moving up in toward the milpitas area. northbound 101 is fine. that's where the bulk of the traffic flow is. looking at san mateo bridge, water on the lens, mist in the air here. i showed you in palo alto no problems on this span or the bay bridge. back to you. >> thank you, mike. some people think bus drivers should be rewarded for their patience on the job, especially when they're driving kids. this driver may go beyond that. the heroic acts that saved kids. you'll have to see it to believe. >> what she did is amazing. but happening right now, president trump is set to meet with the chinese president. they're getting together next weekend at trump's florida resort mar-a-lago. that will be the first in-person meeting between those world leaders. plus federal agents have arrested the mexican attorney general at the border because
