areas, they need to evacuate or die. the time for that has passed. there's nowhere to turn at this point. we have seen parts of buildings being blown off, debris strewn throughout the street, trees toppled and communications are starting to go down. the power is out. this is a region that was hit by hurricane irma. now authorities here expect that maria could knock out power to some parts of this region for four to six months. authorities are warning this could be catastrophic. again, we expect to get hit by the howling winds and torrential rain for the next several hours. there's no telling how much damage this could cause. our big concern is the storm surge. back to you. >> those are strong winds. as we continue to track hurricane maria, follow us on air and online for instant coverage. we are constantly posting

"today in the bay's" bob redell has been working this story since yesterday and live in hayward with what the city is up to this morning. good morning, bob. >> reporter: good morning to you, marcus and laura. the city of hayward, you see the number of complaints specifically from pedestrians that it's too dangerous to cross a street, foothill and mission boulevard here in the downtown

area. especially here at mission and b because of the traffic. i checked with the city to find out about the impact. the traffic lights are times in such a way drivers can catch most, if not all the green. they end up blocking the 25-mile-an-hour speed limit, four lanes of traffic and it's daunting for someone on the sides walk or trying to use the crosswalk. today, they are going to be retiming these traffic lights so that drivers hit more reds like the drivers here behind me. if they have less run way to speed, there are 20 traffic signals in question. here is why it matters if you drive this area. this is located along the so-called downtown loop here in hayward. they are tweaking the signals along a street, and mission. they are tweaking those on mission and foothill between a street and fletcher. they run parallel to each other. the city hopes the measures aimed at traffic will discourage commuters from using downtown as

a shortcut around 880 on their way to and from work. >> the commuters who pass through already and they are like, hey, what are you doing? i like speeding through hayward. i like going as fast as i can and not stopping. we are not trying to accommodate those individuals. we are trying to accommodate residents concerned about the speed and feel comfortable shopping and walking. >> it is a problem. i don't normally cross there because it is. i try to stay on this side of mission when i'm parking. once in a while, people don't pay attention, they go really fast, especially here. >> they don't care about people walking by and not, you know, most the time they put their eye on the phone instead of the driving. especially this is a lot of people downtown. they drive crazy, you know? >> reporter: the city is retiming the lights as part of a

pilot program. they will tweak if necessary and evaluate after three months. they are looking at long-term solutions. that includes converting bike lanes. this would happen five, ten, 15 years down the line. the city is looking for your feedback. they have a survey. we have that link on our website at www.nbcbayarea.com. reporting live in hayward, bob redell, "today in the bay." it is 5:40. the tri-valley is already starting to see a big headache, at least for one particular area. not just eastbound and westbound, also along the north flynn road area. we are not seeing why we are seeing two accidents. one accident involved could be two big rigs. the other is a car that is stalled on the road. look at the heavy delays out of that area. we are seeing those speed sensors picking that up. a quick check of the drive times

to 680 about a 25 minute delay there. if you take a live look right now outside at some of the roads, there go those metering lights. that always gives mae headache. if we look at san jose, also seeing pretty heavy build up in terms of that traffic. no major accidents out of san jose. we are half way through the workweek already. we are taking a peek at that weekend forecast. >> a lot going on. nice weather. we officially begin fall. we'll have a lot of events kicking off and celebrating the temperatures in the mid-80s. on saturday for the inland valleys, 84 degrees. the bay at 79. 74 for the coast. on sunday, expect more of the same, warmer for the interior valleys. if you are heading to napa valley, 76 degrees on friday. low to mid-80s throughout the weekend. for the sierra, a look at heavenly and cooler temperatures there. there may be en fresh powder on

minutes. to the bay bridge, 15 minutes. the metering lights are on. thank you very much. take a look at this. pictures coming into the news room now. breaking news we continue to follow out of mexico after the massive earthquake shook the region. that was a plant that exploded after the shaking. people sent out to the streets as they are trying to search for survivors in so many of the collapsed buildings there in mexico city. this morning, the "today" show, as well, as additional video of the collapsed buildings that happened. we'll continue to follow the story for you all morning long. a desperate search going on there right now. how soon will we know before the big one hits here in california? they have been looking into that question. >> california has been working on a warning system. only 750 monitoring stations have been set up along the west

coast with 250 of those stations here in the bay area. they will need more than 1600 stations to get people more warning. right now, the system can only provide up to a minute's notice. even though it's in the testing phase, bart and metro use the alert systems in the event of an emergency. california hopes to start using the system in schools by next year. if you have a tip for the investigative unit, call 888-996-tips or send us an e-mail. the white house this morning is denying it apologized for an incident in washington which americans were attacked. >> attacked by body guards for the president. >> an appalling incident caught on tape. you have seen this video before. americans and turks exercising the american rights of free speech in washington, d.c., protesting the visit of turkish

president in may. they were attacked and beaten by the turkish president's body guards. many of the body guards still face assault charges. in an interview with pbs, president trump called him and apologized for the behavior of the protesters. the white house says yes, he called him, but there was no apology. you may remember when jimmy kimmel went on air and talked about his newborn son's heart surgery. it was an emotional thing to not pass a law to save children's lives. we have the kimmel test. no health insurance should have lifetime caps or conditions on pre-existing conditions. that's the kimmel test. there's a last minute push to repeal obamacare. it's called graham/cassidy after

the two senators who wrote it, bill cassidy. but the new bill does not pass the kimmel test. the fellow who wrote it coined the phrase the kimmel test. >> not only did he fail the kimmel test, he failed his own test. you don't see that happen very much. this bill we came up with is worse than the one that, thank god, republicans like susan collins and lisa murkowski and john mccain torpedoed over the summer. >> they had days to pass the bill. then new rules kick in to give democrats a say. by then, the bill is doomed. contact me directly on twitter @scottmcgrew. >> thanks, scott. 5:49. time for a look at weather and traffic together. nice start to the day. >> no impact to the roadways as far as showers moving through. we'll have the chance as we go
