emergency. now to a new report that says the golden gate bridge which is covered by so much fog right now, but i guarantee you it is back there somewhere, a new report says the bridge is in good shape, but it might need a makeover. this is a live look at the 81-year-old bridge. and here it is in some old video we have. in april, workers inspected the massive towers. that inspection revealed the majority of the bridge is in good condition. the best condition by federal standards. but a few smarts need to be repaired because of light corrosi corrosion. but there were no structural issues. a lot of churches serve wine as symbolism for the blood of christ, but would you drink beer at church if it is all for a good cause? there is an interesting concept out of santa cruz that is

gaining a lot of new followers. ian cull has more. >> reporter: the greater purpose community church sold its building recently and hopped over to the food lounge to hold its services. a community based with plenty of beer taps. pastor chris asked the owner to keep the bar open. >> there is nothing in the bible that says you can't drink alcohol in a responsible manner. >> why not serve beer when they are reading bible verses. i thought it was genius. >> reporter: so now every sunday the parishioners join to pray, listen and drink. >> we have a glass of beer, a glass of wine. and it is a comfortable atmosphere where people cannot only listen to a progressive take on theology, but also engage in conversation. >> reporter: it's always been a temporary site, a tasting ground of sorts for a grand plan. >> and i thought wouldn't it be great if a church could figure out a way to make the product where they split profits with local community service organizations about that we love making beer, so why not do a

brewery. manufacturing of the beer and hopefully cider will be downstairs. >> reporter: so now he is converting the old logo bookstore into a brewery where they will have church services. >> yes, before we open to the public, we don't want to dupe anyone, we don't want to have this bar and boom you get a church service. >> reporter: he expects to donate 30% to 60% of the profits to charity. crafting the new space will take about a year just in time for summer where new members can come pray with a pint. >> they can have one or two. if they have two, my sermon is always better. >> reporter: ian cull, nbc bay area news. and if you're looking for something to do this weekend besides going to that church, your nose and stomach may lead you to gilroy because the garlic festival is happening this weekend. garlic lovers can take garlic fries, garlic ice cream and listen to live bands. the fets value kicked off friday, it runs until tomorrow.

next 24 hours, you're going to notice it will be warm again. temperatures will be very similar to what we saw yesterday. 63 degrees right now in san jose. it is a little cloudy, but we're expecting for this ridge of high pressure to warm us up and it will keep us very dry. so if you will be heading outside, keep that in mind. now, as far as the bay area goes, we're not in any heat advisories or heat warnings. however, if you are headed out toward central california, they are under a heat advisory because temperatures out there will range anywhere 105 to 110 degrees. we're talking dangerous heat. and it is thanks in part to that ridge of high pressure. and unfortunately that is creating dangerous fire weather because we're talking about triple digit heat and also very low humidity. so let's look at the daytime highs for the afternoon. south bay, 83 expected for

cooper teen know, mill pea today 86, are out in morgan hill, about 93. and check out the east bay.teen 86, are out in morgan hill, about 93. and check out the east bay. concord 92. out near antioch, 95. pittsburg 94. and near oakland, 71. so anything near the water will be running a few degrees cooler in an what we typically see around this time of year. half moon bay, 60. san mateo, 74. your best place to get around is along the water or into the city, 66 expected for san francisco. if you are heading up to the north bay, temperatures will remain into the mid to upper 80s. 86 degrees for novato. and we are expecting unfortunately the hot temperatures to remain for the next several days. so i do want to give you a quick update on that carr fire. through today, we're expecting temperatures to climb into the triple digits. and even though we're expecting a shift into tuesday, that ridge of high pressure will weaken, it will still remain hot and the

triple digits are here to stay for the next several days. so we'll be keeping a close eye on this, humidity remains low. and an unfortunate situation. if you are looking for a place to get away from the heat, maybe you don't have anything to do today, join me i'll be at the have a knee s waterfront festival and with our very own storm ranger answering any questions. temperatures will be comfortable in the 80s. and i'd even say bring a light sweater because it does get colder by the water. next seven day, san francisco not big changes. inland areas as you notice, monday, tuesday, temperatures will remain in the ninth. it is 7:21. still ahead on "today in the bay," many sick patients used to get flowers delivered to their bedside. and then the service stopped. but the need remains. we'll introduce you to the local woman keeping deliveries going from her own garage. everything ,

amazing. >> reporter: as a life long lover of flowers, it is a sight she adores, but that does not fully explain the magic that is happening here, turning excess beauty into much needed kindness. >> it just is a good thing. just a good thing do. >> reporter: random act of flowers that recycles flowers into free bouquets for those in hospitals, hospice and nursing homes closed down their bay area chapter. the funds just weren't there. but the need still is. and vicky, who volunteered for random act just couldn't let that need go unmet. and offered up her garage and her expertise to continue making beautiful arrangements for people experiencing difficult times. >> we mainly want to make a statement for them because you never know, it may be the last flowers that they ever receive. >> reporter: vicky started her

nonprofit flowers of comfort with just three other volunteers. but once she posted to her nextdoor social network about a need for vases -- >> i got not only vases, but i got volunteers. so making new friends. >> reporter: there are close to 20 other women working with vicky and on this day, they turned donations from a wedding and flower wholesalers into almost 100 arrangements. they will be taken to a senior care facility. >> there is so much joy in their eyes, they just look forward for it every monday. >> reporter: vicky says she had to think long and hard about stepping up and taking on this role. she knew it would be a lot f woof wo work. but the results are something to behold. >> i think it turned out nice. >> reporter: the flowers vicky gets are donated from stores, florists and flower wholesalers,

but there are also some cases like the day we were with them that the flowers came from a wedding. garvin thomas, nbc bay area news. >> those are the best stories. we have much more ahead. coming up, we have more coverage of the devastating carr fire burning out of control near redding, nearly 40,000 people evacuated and at least two lives lost. also coming up, we've heard of the opoid epidemic taking over the country. but did you know there is a new medication that is even more common and american are addicted. shopping for backpacks. ...and mom also gets a back-to-school bag? that's yes for less. ross has the brands you want for back to school. and it feels even better when you find them for less. at ross. yes for less.

we'll have a look at our forecast. >> we'll have a range. so long the coast, on the cooler end. but if you want to go ahead and face the sunshine and the heat, you'll want to head toward the interior valleys. san francisco right now, if you are waking up in san francisco or anywhere near the coastline, you will notice the fog. even some parts of the east bay. it isn't very windy just yet, but we are expecting a nice change in our weather pattern. and what will happen, it will kick up our winds and that ridge of high pressure is expected to warm us up quite myly lnicely the upper 80s and even some 90s for far inland valleys. so especially in the higher elevation area. so something to keep in mind for today will be if you will be outside, drink plenty of water. we a aren't seeing any heat advisories, but central california definitely is. temperatures upwards of 115

which is unfortunate situation because that is where the wildfires are burning. as she was saying, fires continue to rage across northern california. and resources are stretched thin. right now one of the state's largest fires is burning to our north in shasta county. the carr fire is just 5% contained. 500 structures are destroyed, most of them homes. nearly 5,000 others are currently threatened. more than 48,000 acres are burning. smoke has carried all the way down to the north bay. ererily covering areas already ravaged by wildfires last october. this is what it looked like last night in santiago row he a. here -- santa rose. carr fire is impacting the northwest side of redding. melissa colorado brings us this report.

conditions into the afternoon. so if you will be hanging out anywhere along the coast, you will notice that we're running several degrees below what is normal. right now in san jose, 63. also seeing a couple clouds out there. we are expected to clear out quite nicely though as this ridge of high pressure continues to dominate in our forecast. so what does that mean? it means that we'll be hot and twri th dry. we're tracking pretty dangerous heat especially for central california. they are under a heat advisory. and they are expecting temperatures in the triple digit mark up to 110 upwards of that. unfortunately, there is no relief as of right now. the remainder of the week, although we might catch a bit of a cooldown, but not until next tuesday. so being tatracking dangerous h we have the fog along the coast, but the ridge of high pressure is unfortunately going to keep all of those wildfires actively burning. not going for help the situation especially when paired with low humidity.

as far as it goes here in the bay area, south bay will climb into those 80s. so on the warmer side of thing. similar to what you saw yesterday. east san jose, 87. out here in the east bay, temperatures will be climbing into the mid-90s. so concord, 92 degrees out near the antioch area, one of the warmest spots at 95. but oakland, about 71. so 20 plus degree difference from one end of the bay area to the valleys and higher elevation areas. microclimate highs along is an in day owe, 74. heading into the city, mission 66. and out here in the north bay, check out these temperature, santa rose, 82. novato, 86. i want to give you a quick update, unfortunately we're expecting dangerous heat for central california a for the next several days. and here is a quick look at what they are expecting in redding. low humidity, 10 to 20%.

area. now an unexpected summer danger, beach umbrellas. two sunbathers were impaled just last week. jeff rossen shows us the dramatic video and has tips to help us stay safe. >> reporter: caught on camera, a gust of wind shooting more than a dozen of these umbrellas into the air. flying across the sand, nearly crashing right into people. beach umbrellas going rogue now i flying missiles. these umbrellas barely missing the camera plan. and it happens all the time. eyewitnesses posting videos on youtube. like this umbrella flying out of control high in the air. >> umbrella impaled a lady. >> reporter: on the jersey shore, a woman was impaled in the ankle. and as it happened just days ago

on this beach in ocean city, a flying umbrella impailing another woman, this time in the chest. in fact, according to the consumer products safety commission, about 3,000 people each year are rushed to emergency rooms for injuries involving uumbrellas. how much wind does it take to pull it out of the sand? we've come here to south carolina, this is the insurance institute for business and home safety, in their giant wind tunnel. take a look down here at all of those industrial strength fans. they can simulate any level of wind. they have also built us this, a huge sand box. and yes, this is real sand right here. so we can simulate this for you. we have our beach towel, beach ball and of course the beach umbrella with a little spike on the end. we'll put this into the sand. much like you would if you were at the beach. i'm really getting it in here. about 10 inches to a foot down. pack it in. the umbrella is up.

now i'll open it up again much like you would at the beach. not always pretty, but you do it. so it is in there. and we'll pick up the wind and see what happens. in the control room they are getting ready. let's fire up the wind. three, two, one. first they press to 10 miles per hour. pretty typical wind speed along the shoreline. and this is what is happening to the umbrella, blowing around in the wind a little, but still inside the ground. but just watch what happens when we take it up just a notch to 15 miles an hour. we'll keep an eye on the umbrella. there it goes flying. whoa! can you imagine if you were on the blanket right next to this or even down the beach a little bit with that spike. and that is a pretty typical gust for a shoreline. nuts. here it is from another angle as the umbrella is ripped out of

the sand, the spike flying through the air smashing right into our camera that is weighed down by heavy sand bags. but at the beach, gusts go even higher than that. now we're doing 20 miles an hour which would be a gust on the shore, i'm holding it down. i'll let go. this time the umbrella flying even faster. and we notice something else. that spike flying through the affair a air it ended up spike up. >> where are we safe anymore? that was jeff rossen reporting for us. now to a growing concern over anti-anxiety drugs. prescriptions for benzose have skyrocketed, medications commonly prescribed. chief of addiction medicine at stanford tells us complications
