why it didn't cover the vet bill, and it cited the pre-existing condition, which she thought was covered. she felt cheated. she was stuck with that $798 bill so she contacted us, we contacted nationwide. it said a sales agent clearly stated pre-existing conditions are ineligible for coverage. we asked nationwide to hear the recording of laura's conversation. it did not provide the tape but said later on it reviewed the call and found that laura's claim was now eligible for coverage. nationwide paid the $1798. laura said she is so thrilled. she told us fred is doing just fine. pet insurance isn't too much different from human health insurance, there are lots of terms and conditions even though it involves a cat. you've got to look for those exclusions and exemptions. you have to read the fine print in the pet policy the same you do in your people

policy, which you do, right? you read every word. if you or your animals have a consumer complaint call us or logon to nbcbayarea.com/responds. >> thanks, chris. at 6:26 right now, happening today, housing the homeless. the san francisco planning commission is expecting to vote on building a new navigation center in the mission district. examiner reports this morning the planning commission is considering construction, a home to a large homeless encampment. the new center would have 128 beds and provide social services. coming up next on "today in the bay" at 6:26, boosting safety on the roads. the changes you may soon start to notice on freeways. >> plus concerns about the proposed google village development in downtown san jose. the protest planned today as critics demand answers about the impact the project could have on the city. you're watching "today in the bay." we )re off to a cool starte

president obama for saying all those fools who want to attack syria, u.s. lost vital element of surprise. so stupid, could be a disaster. so as you pointed out, president trump is boxed in. he promised a military strike. he can't back down from those. but announcing the strikes violated his own rule of not announcing imminent military action so they have to be delayed. the president ordered one other military action in his presidency we know about, 56 cruise missiles fired from navy ships exactly one year ago against syrian airstrip. now, keep in mind, in the midst of all this the united states doesn't have secretary of state. rex tillerson is long gone. today the senate foreign relations committee will begin questioning mike pompeo for the role. he's the current director of the cia, though he hasn't had that job long, 444 days. before that he was a congressman from kansas. so we examine what's going on in washington every day. you can follow me on twitter.

let me know what you think. i'm @scott mcgrew. >> thanks a lot, scott. 6:46 right now. missing a connecting flight may be a headache but for two women it really changed their lives. 25-year-old samantha snipes was eight months' pregnant and had missed her connection. she ended up sitting next to 42-year-old phipps on another flight. she noticed she was nervous, started talking to her, trying to ease the anxiety a little bit. during the conversation snipes mentioned she was considering putting her baby up for adoption because of some family problems. temple didn't have any children and eventually said she could don't that baby. >> i thought, she could always say no. but she didn't have a plan. maybe this was divine and that's why i'm supposed to be here. >> well, the two parted ways. but three days later they actually talked on the phone after snipes baby was born. phipps went to the hospital.

when snipes saw how happy she was, she decided to give that baby up for adoption. the baby is now their 18-month-old. the two live close to each other in north carolina. they are considering writing a book about the misconnection that changed their lives. that's a remarkable, beautiful story. >> it really is. >> missed connection, that was a made connection. >> that book could happen several ways. >> god puts people in certain places at certain times. wow. >> love that story. okay. you're going to love this weather, too. as we go into today, sunshine to start out. it will be cool but then warms up over the next couple days. we havay consolidated front you could feel as you get ready to step out the door. live outside in san francisco, it is all clear now. going to bundle up with upper 40s and only making it into the

50s with breezy winds and sunshine. as we get a look at high temperatures today, this is a little more like winter, not spring around the bay area. only reaching low 60s as you get dressed in the south bay you can see that sun coming through the blinds. it's going to be a day you have to wear some layers from the jacket to long sleeves. also some pants. then we can shed some of those layers throughout the weekend as it warms up. i'm still tracking unsettled weather. still seeing rain farther to the north of us even though the cold front moved well east there's still lingering light showers moving through. the highest chance of rain today will be in the north bay and also along the coast. i've seen a couple of these showers along the coastline today and that's exactly what the computer models are plotting as we go into the rest of the morning and early afternoon. most of us won't see this rain. as it moves through the north bay quick moving showers, also shows the possibility that some of them could fire up over the hills over the east bay and then move out as we head closer to
