"today in the bay" continues right now. a very good morning to you and thanks so much for joining us. i'm laura garcia. >> and i'm marcus washington. we'll get to weather in a moment. right now mike with traffic has concerns for drivers. >> we had early concerns but looks like things are holding up pretty well. the speed is enfors for the last 20 minutes have been holding steady and this is a lighter volume than we often see on a tuesday. yesterday we saw monster commute in many parts of the bay really kicking in and holding steady until about 9:00 and then things started to ease up, so it does look like more folks are dropping their kids off early, letting them get to school on their own. looking to the south bay look how light 101 is. it's improving over the last 15 minutes and a live shot it was going to show you some headlights but right now it shows you nothing so we'll move on to the transit system as we get out of your way. notice the transit systems there are no delays and that's good

news. kari, for folks at outdoor stations what is the outlook? >> right now as we take a live look outside in san francisco this morning, we are looking at a nice clear start with a view of the golden gate bridge. as you make your way out the door for school this morning, we are going to see those temperatures in san jose starting out in the mid-50s and then a lot more comfortable for later on today with highs reaching only into the upper 70s. 79 degrees in san jose, 87 in concord. still warm in some of our inland spots. 73 today in oakland, and the high in san francisco will be up to 67 degrees. here is an update on hurricane florence, now a category 4 hurricane, and still on track to move toward the carolinas. so for more on that i'll send it over to you, marcus. >> thanks, kari. developing now, here is a look at that spot at the path of the powerful hurricane kari was just mentioning. this is the scene from wrightsville beach in north carolina. i want to show you brand new video, a hurricane hunter plane

actually flew through the eye of florence. on the ground people waiting in long lines, really to stock up on the gas and groceries, bracing for that storm to hit. >> reporter: are you surprised to see so many people here? >> not really. >> not last minute, you know. >> i don't like getting stuck without what i need. >> even if you don't know anyone out there on the east coast, that storm is impacting air travel. thousands of flights could be impacted. five major airlines already say they'll allow their passengers and travelers there to change certain flights for no fee. it is 6:02 right now. dysfunction in the south bay school district is reaching new heights this morning. a school word member may be legally required to stay away from the superintendent. this is just the latest development for the troubled alum rock school district. "today in the bay's" kris sanchez has been following the story and joins us with what this all means. good morning, kris.

>> reporter: hi there, laura. today the superintendent and one board member will spend time away from the school district in alum rock and instead be before a judge in a santa clara county courtroom. superintendent elaria bauer is seeking to maintain a temporary retraining order she has against a trustee tran. since august 2nd he was ordered to stay away from her, her husband and her daughter. today the superintendent and the trustee will be before the judge. tru trusstrustee ken tran is accused of harassing the superintendent, in a closed door meeting related to business. he allegedly threatened to kick your expletive, i'll let you use your imagination in referencing of a firing squad. trustee karen martinez alleges harassment and reported it to police. tran doesn't dispute what he said but told "the mercury news" that what he said was mischaracterized. tran has not been alone in his

criticism of the superintendent. other trustees questioned bauer's management of the district but bauer is very popular with parents who have been holding candidate forums in thing recent weeks in hopes of finding people who will focus on the education of their children. rather than the board room drama. if the superintendent is granted a permanent restraining order, the board member cannot contact her in any way, cannot speak to her in public, in person, cannot email her, cannot call her, text her, can't even send her a piece of mail and can't show up in her office, here at the district, nor at her home, which could make things very difficult in terms of doing business in the alum rock school district until the next election, whether or not that board member is replaced. we'll keep you up to date on what's happening in the courtroom as we find out later today. in san jose, kris sanchez "today in the bay." >> quite a bit of unfighting there. thank you for the update. >> 6:04 right now. bay area janitors are taking

the me too movement to the streets. those who marched you can see right here started in san francisco yesterday, and ended up in berkeley last night. more than 100 women led that walk to support a new state bill, that measure aims to give better protection to janitors at risk of sexual assault or violence. organizers plan to continue the march from berkeley this morning, and actually plan to arrive in sacramento on friday. this morning, a palo alto elementary school teacher found guilty of sexually abusing a girl for over a decade wants a new trial. the "palo alto weekly" reports michael arrow hired a new lawyer and accused his prosecutors of misconduct. he claims they allowed a "highly prejudicial testimony." he also was found guilty in february. prosecutors say that he abused his girlfriend's daughter from the time she was 11 years old to 13. paper says sentencing for the conviction is delayed so the judge can respond to this new trial motion. it is :0 aright now.

happening today, contra costa county leader also consider a move to save money that may also lead to changes in health care monitoring because governor jerry brown recently signed a bill to dissolve the west contra costa health care board of directors. it is possible supervisors will consider appointing themselves to that board but other options will also be considered. the health care board currently makes financial decisions like paying bond holders and bills. the meeting takes place tonight. the plan to build a hotel near future adobe and google sites in downtown san jose just got larger. developers are proposing to add a 19-story hotel next to the deanza in downtown san jose. it was expected to have originally 220 rooms, but now "the mercury news" reports developers want to add an extra 50 rooms plus a rooftop restaurant. if completed, tech and business workers can stay at the hotel and have a short walk to adobe and the proposed google village. all right, so if you have

any spare cash, this might be the home for you. it turns out a whopping $23 million mansion in palo alto reportedly just won't sell. i'll break down what you'll get. the two-story old home there on adobe, old adobe road is decked out with a sauna, theater, 1,000-bottle wine cellar and according to "the chronicle" despite the booming housing market, no buyers are willing to pay that money for that beautiful home. how about $20 million. >> i have $20, how long will that get me in the house. >> i'll add in my 10. >> we can stand on the porch, i guess. here is a live look in dublin as the sun rises. it's a nice and clear start, and it won't be as hazy today. if you're making your way out to the dublin b.a.r.t. station, grab a jacket. temperatures will be cool starting out in the mid-50s and as you head out later on today, temperatures start to warm up, headed into the upper 70s by early afternoon.

looking for something free to do with the kids today or just enjoy your time outside, go to the san francisco botanical garden in golden gate park. it will be partly cloudy and fe temperatures reaching into the low 60s and just trying to make it out the door for school this morning, let's head over to livermore with temperatures in the mid-50s to start and we'll be at 75 degrees today at noon. we'll have more in the forecast coming up and commuters are getting a break right now, right, mike? >> a little bit of a break. kari, this is tuesday, 6:08. we expect to see more traffic but we haven't hit the full early commute for the fall yet, the middle of the morning getting packed in over the last few days. over here a break for the tri valley. the earlier disabled vehicle did move to the shoulder or get moved to the shoulder. you still see a little recovery there, not that bad. concord recovered from the earlier sig alert. highway 4 shows folks marching down toward the walnut creek interchange. build for san pablo. little more time getting over to

the bay bridge but again 6:08, almost 6:09 and visibly see the lanes movement. visible movement is good at the bay bridge toll plaza, we want that, and that build i talked about in richmond has a couple of minutes, still 19 minutes so under 20 minutes from highway 4 to the backup at the toll plaza. back to you. >> 6:09 right now. here on "today in the bay," brand new sharks video for you this morning. oh, yes, it is that time of the year again for some ice hockey. we'll show you how the shark tank is getting ready for what's going to be a great new year. president trump has made a number of claims about the economy. we'll go over them to see if they're correct when "today in the bay" continues. bowls to serve teriyaki.

(sighs) what? try my teriyaki bowls. it 16:12, about 30 minutes away from sunrise as we take a look live over san jose, a nice clear start. we'll see a few clouds and all clearing out with our temperatures cool to start this morning, heading into the mid-70s by 2:00 today. we've got some cooler weather in the forecast, i'llpkafñ show yot and also look ahead to the weekend in less than five minutes. two things right here, dublin eight the traffic flow, five minutes the flashing lights is what's left over after they finally cleared the disabled vehicle off to the right shoulder. minor distraction. the beautiful sunrise traveling eastbound is more of a

distraction for focusing on the road. good morning to you on this september 11th. the nyse, nasdaq marketplace will hold a moment of silence before their respective opens. footlocker stock higher after it said nikes were selling really well and apple has its big event tomorrow. president trump on the attack this morning, pushing back against the notion president obama had anything to do with the current economic boom. the white house issued a music video with wah-wah trombones for obama and disco music for trump. take a look. here is a clip. >> what are you going to do? ♪ what magic wand do you have? ♪ >> we created more than 400,000, and soon going to be 600,000 manufacturing jobs. >> growth during the trump years has been much more robust. this year we should get up near 3%, that would put us 50% above mr. obama's performance. >> now if that were too subtle the white house held its first

press conference since august 22nd on monday, brought out the president's top economic adviser. president trump also made a series of tweets about the economy, including this one that the gdp was higher than the unemployment rate for the first time in 100 years. this was almost immediately pegged as wrong. this actually happens fairly often, about 60 times in the last 100 years. somehow a zero got added. >> but what is true is that it's the highest in ten years, and at some point, somebody conveyed it to him, adding a zero to that and they shouldn't have done that. i can say we numbers geeks at the white house are grateful when the press finds mistakes we make, we don't like making mistakes but we're grateful when they're pointed out. >> that might have been a typo but the president has had trouble with gdp a second time in another tweet in which he confuses quarterly gdp with yearly gdp. president trump would need a magic wand to get to 4% gdp, stated president obama.

i guess i have a magic wand, 4.2% and will do much better than that. marcus and laura, got to read along to understand the president's error here, so let's keep this tweet up. the 4% that president obama was talking about is annual gdp. the 4.2% president trump is talking about is the latest quarterly gdp estimate. we've crossed 4% quarterly gdp several time, in fact we've crossed 5%. this is one of the analogies, it's relatively easy getting an "a" on your math homework. it's hard to get an "a" for the math semester. you're measuring two different things. we used to understand facts were facts, numbers were numbers. when you compare these in different ways it becomes misleading. >> apples and oranges. >> apples and oranges. >> thanks, scott. it's 6:15, starting to look a lot like hockey season at the

shark tank. we got an inside look at the crews laying down the ice. two-day process will wrap up today, as the water buffalo sprays up to 15 gallons of water it takes to turn the arena into a rink. also, ticket sales are ahead of what they were last year, and this year there's a new option for fans who just can't commit to season tickets. >> what's particularly popular is a half season ticket plan or a partial plan where you can buy 11 games and you can pick your game if you want or pacific rivals or you can say i want to see the traditional east coast teams. >> our crews got up into the media booth and up in the rafters from this vantage point the preseason starts september 18th. regular season starts october 3rd, both against one of the shark's greatest rivals, anaheim ducks. >> i kind of always chuckle because when it's the sharks versus the ducks, neither one of them do well in ice. >> yeah, no kidding. >> stay on the pond, sharks usually not in a frozen pond.

>> pretty cool to see how they do it always. >> always wanted to ride on the zamboni. >> and drive it. look all sharky. looking outside it will be a nice cool day. >> we're in for some cooler temperatures around the bay area, and we'll enjoy also our valleys cooling down, as we go into tomorrow and thursday. but right now, we start out with a clear start, live look outside and palo alto getting you out the door this morning with our temperatures that will be in the low 60s at 10:00. look at that, low 70s for 4:00 today and the seven-day forecast is already up at the bottom of the screen. yes, these are high temperatures for the south bay. we'll reach up to 79 degrees in san jose today. we're still going to have some warm spots like antioch and concord reaching 87. 85 in martinez. also 85 today in santa rosa, san francisco, some upper 60s, and then it will cool off quickly, if you're going to the giants game tonight, wear a lot of layers. we're only going to be at about 61 degrees at first pitch and

some upper 50s with clear skies for tonight. our skies are about to get cloudy and here is why. we have an area of low pressure in this trough that is this elongated area of low pressure. we can see the clouds following that trough and as it continues to dip, we will get some cooler air being pushed in farther from the north and also a lot more clouds so this is the way it shapes up on our hour-by-hour outlook. it's clear today and for the morning tomorrow, but then by early afternoon, we'll start to see the clouds moving in, and that will also keep our temperatures from rising too much, as we go throughout the day. as we get an update on what's happening in the pacific, paul continues to weaken, so it's now a tropical depression. we may be seeing some of the last advisories on that, and then looking at olivia, that has weakened to a tropical storm. it was a category 1 hurricane yesterday, and it's expected to continue on as a tropical storm, as it moves right through the hawaiian islands, churning up a lot of waves and bringing some rain over the next few days.

and then hurricane florence, the big headline for the carolinas over the next couple of days, it still remains as a category 4 and may continue on as a category 4 hurricane, as it approaches the southeastern coast, bringing lots of rain, expected to make landfall on friday. we'll watch that. as we bring it back home our temperature also feel more like fall over the next few days. breezy winds, a little bit more cloud cover once again, highs reaching into the upper 70s and for san francisco, we'll get some more sunshine. it stays cool, highs reaching the mid-60s. over to mike, we have a new crash for oakland? >> i do, kari. overall the commute compared to yesterday looking really good. 6:19, almost 6:20, folks and look at the sensors all over the bay. you have a little slowing for san jose, just a little for pleasanton and 880 and hayward and union city there's a build there. i'll talk about the san mateo bridge in a second. i want to show you this crash as kari mentioned southbound 880

around the crash moving south from the beay bridge and past town town oakland. commute direction into the maze all avenues looking really good. the bay bridge toll plaza trust me has a lot of company waiting for you. you have to wait to cross the span and slower across that incline. richmond to san rafael bridge showing a steady flow of traffic. these are the fast track lanes, sorry, hov lanes. fast track and the cash lanes as well showing much more traffic flow and here is what i was talking about for the san mateo bridge, westbound across the span with all of these tail lights really packed in out of hayward over the last 20 minutes. slower drive. the peninsula will see much more traffic but san mateo, 101, 92 moving smoothly through the interchange. back to you. >> thanks, mike. september is national suicide prevention month. and this week we're really trying to help with the question of what to say. the national suicide prevention lifeline says that if you have a friend thinking about suicide, listen to the reasons for

feeling this hopelessness and in pain. listen with compassion, and empathy, without dismissing or even judging. this is part of their be the one two campaign, for instance you could be that one there for them. that number for the national suicide prevention lifeline that is 1-800-273-talk. coming up on "today in the bay," president trump's tariff war might not be all that bad, if you like to dine out. we're going to tell you why one bay area restaurant is cutting prices. you're watching "today in the bay."

little easier. access to what may be a life-saving device just not a little bit easier because a new competitor to the epipen injector are coming to the market. the epipen can make a difference between life and death for someone with a severe case of allergic reaction. walgreens and drug companies caleo just announced a partnership to sell an injector device called avaque. it's similar to the hard-to-get epipen in may. >> what i hear from my sources, this shortage that we have currently should be fixed quite quickly. >> and for people with the right health coverage, the new device may be available at no cost. it is 6:24 right now. your next trip to some

restaurants may be a little less expensive. tariffs imposed on u.s. exports driving food costs down across the country. cnbc reports the tariffs are causing a pile-up in supplies of items like corn. it's becoming more expensive to ship overseas because overseas buyers don't want to pay the tariffs. it's driving down prices in domestic buyers like restaurant changes including unamas here in the bay area. >> the fact the tariffs are taking place and we are seeing a decrease in costs, there's nothing but positive for us and i hope it continues. >> in the meantime, farmers are losing money because of declining prices. analysts say if the tariffs continue, they may lower production of certain items which would cause lower prices to go back up. fighting with police kipcally does not end in smiles or cheer, but an adorable little video left us all with a grin.ky does not end in smiles or cheer, but an adorable little video left us all with a grin.pcally does not end in smiles or cheer, but an adorable little video

left us all with a grin.typcall or cheer, but an adorable little video left us all with a grin. >> and they're off. this is video taken from over the weekend a playful water fight broke out between el cerrito police officers and those little kids. this is part of the annual back to school water play in the park. squirt guns and water soakers were all invited and welcome. you can see those kids looked like they had a blast out there. something fun. >> i think so. now we want to give you a sneak peek from today's episode of "ellen." >> heidi klum was talking about hip-hop star drake asking her out on a date, but her response certainly got ellen laughing. >> i guess he asked to have my number and he texted me. oh my gosh, this is so weird. i never texted him back because i found the love of my life. >> he texted you, and you didn't even respond? >> no. >> i guess that would be a no. you can watch "ellen" at 4:00 p.m. followed by "nbc bay area

news" at 5:00 and "nightly news" at 5:30. >> if someone says hey, you want to go out, just answer them. >> you could say thank you. i have a boyfriend, whatever. >> i have a situation. trust me, it's happened to me. >> it is 6:27. coming up next on "today in the bay" category 4 hurricane set to slam parts of the east coast. new the help from bay area already heading there to respond. and breaking news from here at home, a growing vegetation fire in marin county and evacuations are under way. the new numbers straight ahead.

♪ south l.a. is very medically underserved. when the old hospital closed people in the community lived with untreated health problems for years. so, with the county's help we built a new hospital from the ground up and having citi as an early investor worked as a signal to others to invest. with citi's help we built a wonderful maternity ward and we were able to purchase an mri machine. we've made it possible for the people who live here to lead healthier lives and that's invaluable. ♪

♪ taking a live look outside at

downtown san jose right now, 6:30, taking a live look outside at downtown san jose. little hazy start there. starting to feel like fall. we'll see if kari says we should get used to it or not. good morning to you. thanks for joining us. i'm laura garcia. >> and i'm marcus washington. since you said it, let's head over to kari right now. kari? >> good morning. yes, it's going to start to cool off over the next coue of days. i don't think you should get used to it, temperatures dip for a couple of days and cooler today, a live look outside in san jose and head to the neighborhood of evergreen we'll be at 58 degrees at 8:00 this morning. heading into the upper 70s, which is a little bit cooler than normal. we should be at about 81 degrees. we'll be up to 82 in livermore and 87 in antioch, and in concord today. 86 in napa, and in oakland today

73 degrees. we'll talk about the weekend come up in seven minutes and mike gets you out of the door with a look at commute. >> i have a beautiful view of the bay bridge, the sun is a nice silhouette with the hills. we did see up until about five minutes ago really good movement at the toll plaza. i know all lanes are filled in right now but you still see the fast track lane and the cash lane. the cash lanes are key. they are moving well but over here top of your screen starting to fill in, that's indicating much more traffic coming in out of the maze. still no major problems getting to the bay bridge. it is over here getting away from the bay bridge south 880 shows us a lot of slowing and that crash looked like it hasn't completely cleared and that backup and all the lights jamming up into the area slowing your commute now, they're distracted and so folks are tapping their brakes past oak and fifth and 13th there. be careful in both directions. you'll be hitting your brakes but the crash is still southbound in the direction of downtown. we're looking toward the rest of the bay, there's hayward and the south bay, just a mild build. back to you.

>> thank you so much, mike. breaking news for you this morning in the north bay, a vegetation fire tons grow there and evacuations are under way. >> the fire lines set, the story quickly developing. pete suratos joins us in fairfax, just filed this report. >> reporter: good morning to you, guys. we're here at la gonita school, this is one of the evacuation centers for folks in the area, as crews continue to battle the irving fire. i want to show you guys an aerial view, this is from chp aircraft where you can see where the fire is burning. we're talking about steep terrain in the samuel p. taylor state park area. this fire began roughly around 8:00 p.m. and as i mentioned it's in steep terrain but crews are making progress on this, using bulldozers, water tenders, engines and hand crews to contain this fire. now, here are the latest numbers according to marin county fire, facebook page, saying the fire is currently at 100 acres.

10% containment and still are evacuations in place between mountain king road all the way down to baranca. you see the list of roads there on your screen. our crews did speak with an evacuee who says she wasn't in the evacuation zone of the area, but we are told to evacuate. since she owned animals she had to make the move. >> if it was just myself it would still be stressful but when you're responsible for animals, it's, the stress level goes up and it's not their time to get out of their pen and do anything. i wanted to make sure they didn't try to bolt in the middle of the night. >> reporter: we'll bring you any updates as they come in. pete suratos for "today in the bay." >> thanks so much, pete. 6:33 right now. developing now, hurricane florence, look at the size of this, taking aim at the east coast. new this morning help is on the way from the bay area. bob riddell is joining us live with what we learned overnight and how we're sending crews.

good morning, bob. >> reporter: good morning, laura. there's a group of 16 local firefighters trained in water rescue and they've been on the road for a number of hours now for a very long road trip, talking about a 2,900 mile road trip to north carolina where hurricane florence is expected to make landfall early friday morning. this was the scene overnight in oakland. this is the warehouse where california task force 4 stores all of their equipment. members of that team packed a lot of gear for their trip out east, including eight boats and enough fuel, food and water to be self-sufficient for five to seven days on their own. they are driving nonstop, expect to arrive in north carolina thursday morning, and then wait for florence to come ashore. >> find a safe place to shelter, whether away from where it's hitting or to the north or south of where it's hitting. our practice is not to endanger our rescuers and make sure they're safe during the brunt of the storm and as soon as it gets to a safe but acceptable level we'll deploy resources and start

search and recovery efforts. >> reporter: task force 4 will receive its specific orders from a local incident commander in north carolina after the hurricane makes landfall. task force 4 will strictly be involved in water rescues. the team is part of fema's urban search and rescue program. there are 28 teams nationwide deployed right now, some in hawaii but most are headed to north carolina. reporting live here in union city, bob riddell, "today in the bay." >> thanks. 6:35 right now. happening today, leaders from around the world are gathering in san francisco for the global action summit, which officially kicks off tomorrow at the mosconi center. today governor brown will attend a kickoff event with forest and climate experts, they plan to announce global funding efforts to combat climate change. former vice president al gore will attend a second kickoff event a symposium on how to improve global climate. some of the focus including the

devastation there in california from the recent wildfires. a follow-up for you now to a story we brought you yesterday morning the fight over trees in lafayette. last night city council members decided to put that issue on their agenda in the coming weeks but they don't expect a decision any time soon. as we reported yesterday, pg&e wants to tear down hundreds of trees, saying they block access. neighbors say that doesn't make sense. both sides showed up to last night's meeting. listen for yourself. >> we're comparing it to how the fire department needs access to fire hydrants. they don't need them all the time, but when they need them, they sure need them right away. >> it's something pg&e say they are doing for safety but at the same time they are ignoring threats to our community like exposed pipeline and no survey of our line. >> as of right now pg&e cannot cut the trees down. citizens group filed two lawsuits last year to keep the utility from acting.

>> it is :36 right now. be warned the commute on highway 17 will be a little more difficult starting later this morning. cal trans will work on highway 17 between vine hill road and scotts valley and summit road. the northbound lane closed from 10:00 a.m. to 2:30 in the afternoon. tomorrow and thursday a southbound lane will close between 9:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m. this is maintenance to get the highway ready for the winter. if this is the raiders last season in oakland, it didn't get off to such a great start. >> the raiders lost their opener last night against the l.a. rams at the oakland coliseum. a live look now, quiet but last night the black hole was rumbling with fans pumped to welcome back head coach jon gruden. in the second half the rams took advantage of carr's three interceptions and scored 23 unanswered points. the final score there 33-13. . we'll get them next time, right,

mike? >> and they still win for best dressed audience, black hole and all the spikes in the skulls, good stuff. unfortunately i have to take you over into 880, which not down by the oakland coliseum but farther north say traffic alert. this changed over the last few minutes. all over most of the bay looks great. that slowing is even worse now. the crash update comes in southbound 880 at 16th. i told you the crash they're moving everything off to the shoulder. it involved a motorcyclist up and walking around from what i understood but after that update, turns out that person was hit by a truck. this person is alive and they're doing medical treatment at the area but your left two lanes are blocked and there's quite a distraction so the northbound commute direction is why we've seen such a big build over the last five minutes. concern for the driver or the motorcycle and everyone else involved, your two lanes are blocked, two lanes are opened getting away from 980 and headed

toward 16th. that is an alert from oakland's chp division and so they will not be opening those lanes for at least the time being. we'll track that the rest of the bay. the rest of the bay is just fine. it's through downtown oakland you have that big alert. over here on the peninsula look how beautiful this drive is, no problems for the bay shore freeway in toward embarcadero, good stuff. >> not bad at all. we can see toward the weekend. >> a little closer. it's right there. >> it's always better when you make it past monday and we are going to have a nice weekend across across the bay area. let's look at the forecast. some mid 80s still possible today, but it will bring down temperatures tomorrow, holding steady coasting on into the weekend. san francisco also looking at our weather continuing with some more sunshine and mid-60s in the forecast, so how about going to napa valley this weekend, just a heads up we have some wildfires burning in the area and there will be drifts of spoke but
