house fire in moss beach we believe left at least one person seriously injured. that's the information we get from scanner traffic this morning, including calls for an airlift unit. the fire happened about 90 minutes ago on lancaster boulevard not far from moss beach park, an area just north of half moon bay. we heard the emergency response may be impacting traffic on nearby highway 1. our pete suratos is headed to the scene and will join us with a live report at the top of the hour. new videos of the aftermath of a water main break. this i joseph grant county park. the break damaged nearby roads. through the early morning hours. the oakland diocese of theae and iill launch an independent investigation into clergy sex abuse. it says the church has nothing to hide and releasing the names is the right thing to do.

emails and documents obtained by our investigative unit show she reported the incident to hotel management and oakland police. investigators left a voice mail with the hotel and never spoke to the massage therapist. >> he's still allowed to work there and i'm very concerned about him being able to sexually assault other patrons in the way that he did me. >> the claremont declined our interview request but said a thorough and prompt investigation of this alleged incident was conducted and concluded months ago. oakland police say its investigation is still open. after we started asking questions, state investigators called the women and said they're now looking at her claims. >> 34 cal fire blamed pg&e's equipment for starting at least a dozen fires in six counties last fall as fierce winds knocked down power lines, pg&e failed to shut off sections of its power grid. >> that stands in stark contrast

to what a san diego utility does during extreme fire weather. liz wagner got a closer look at how the company cuts power in the name of safety. >> we keep a close eye at the moisture content there. >> reporter: in the foothills of san diego county, it's dry as a bone. san diego gas and electric director of fire science brian d dagostino says it can get up to 110 degrees in an area that hasn't seen rain in months >> if you can feel that, the vegetation is this dry right now for many, many, many miles. >> reporter: dagostino monitors weather conditions county wide with machines that measure wind speed and temperature. the information goes back to the control center where a team of scientists decides whether to deenergize power lines to keep them from sparking fires if they fall. he says it's always a last resort but the utility has preemptively cut power to homes and businesses during 19 weather

event since 2013 including last december's firestorm. >> any emissions in the back country of san diego posed an immediate threat to life, to property, the safest thing to do was to deenergize. >> reporter: the company started laying plans to proactively cut power after massive fires in 2003 and 2007 wiped out thousands of homes and killed 17 people. >> california should be more aware of not only fire conditions but the fact that if their power goes out, that it's a safer environment for everyone. >> reporter: clraig clements is director of the fire weather research lab at san jose state. he says weather conditions in northern california are similar to san diego. >> this is a climatological study of the diablo wind event. >> reporter: just like the santa ana winds in southern california, diablo winds can create extremely dangerous fires up here. do you think utility companies should be deenergizing power

lines in northern california? >> i think it's a great way to mitigate the risk. >> reporter: but pg&e only recently started to consider deenergizing. the company declined an interview request to discuss why it didn't cut power to its lines last october. in a statement pg&e said proactively turning off power is a highly complex issue, and the threat of wildfire has fundamentally changed impacting more people than ever before. the company says it's ready to flip the switch now and it's learning from san diego gas and electric. in your experience, can cutting power save lives? >> it is a tough one to answer definitively. we're confident that, had fires started in the back country of san diego in december, they definitely could have taken lives. >> reporter: in san diego county, liz wagner, "nbc bay area news." coming up next on "today in the bay," google expected to unveil more competition for bay

what to expect as far as timing. e

talk about being a good sport. history was made last night in pro football, kind of at the expense of a hugely popular former player. first the real story, in case you missed it, new orleans quarterback drew brees broke the all-time record for passing yardage, a record set by peyton manning three seasons ago. manning may be best known for the nationwide tv commercials but he used some of his comedic skills for a viral video reply.

>> peyton, drew brees just broke your record. >> which one? >> all-time passing yards. >> passing yards? okay. so i still have the touchdown record, right? >> he's actually on pace to break that, too. >> what? great. drew, for a thousand days i've held the record for all-time passing yards in the nfl. i got to el it you, it's been the greatest a thousand days of my life, and thanks to you, that's over now. you ruined that for >> now, in the same video manning went on to give brees a heartfelt and sincere congratulations. so really good all around. >> i love brees. >> fun to see. >> so that was starting out week withllom and then a lot of people waking up this morning looking forward to some great weather. now look outside right now at the golden gate bridge. our fog is back, we need a

breeze right there. so yes, fog is back at the golden gate bridge and it's going to be a very shallow layer of fog, very thin. we're not going to see this lasting all day, but that already shows you that we have some changes in the works, and we also will have some hazy skies for the inland areas, and everywhere except for the peninsula, would where it looks good mainly because of the direction of the wind and where it will blow some of the smoke today. the air advisory continues until tonight and as we look at our temperatures as you get ready to step out t upper 50s for most o in the bay area. little bit warmer in san jose, where it is 61 degrees, and then you head down to morgan hill and it is 53 degrees as you head out the door in temperatures cool down a few more degrees around sunrise. sunrise is actually our coolest time of the day, and then after that, we'll see our temperatures quickly in deges in antioch. as you make your way out the

door in fremont, maybe headed to the warm springs b.a.r.t. station this morning, it will be in the upper 50s so a jacket is needed for the early hours before we head up into the upper 70s and low 80s today. we'll see the high in milpitas up to 80 degrees and 80 in gilroy. looking at the east bay, danville reaching 83 degrees, and some low 70s for san mateo, while daly city reaches 69 degrees. san francisco will bring it back to the 60s today. we've had some 70s for the past few days and as we look at the from 77 in sonoma to 83 in novato. getting dressed this morning, we talked about this, it's still a day for summer wear, but because of the cool temperatu f early hours, will you n jacket and later on short sleeves and shorts to keep you comfortable. we'll see more cooling over the next couple of days with tomorrow being the coolest day of the week before it heats up again. look at saturday, 88 degrees. 87 on sunday and then coming

down just a few degrees to start out next week, san francisco looking at temperatures mostly in the 60s, but it's going to be cool as the fog returns for the next couple of days. and mike, you're tracking that jam through palo alto. >> still there. the deal is you're down to one lane at the top of the screen here at willow. the off ramp was currently blocked. the striping work going on in the area continued work on the interchange and folks joining from university, you are jammed north 101 from university to willow. this is because of that construction project we should be picking up any second now. you see that short section for slowing. don't get off the freeway at university because it will tie yoangle through signals so it's not a good idea. allow yourself ten extra minutes. you know, actually allow 15. it will take about seven to ten minutes to get through the area and you're much calmer for the morning because you still have that buffer, that's good news. northbound 101 should improve. 280 if you have a choice between the two, easy drive and no

problem getting on to surface streets as well if you don't have to jump on until north of willow. the rest of the bay shows an easy smooth flow of traffic. back in tracy we have the crash i-5 and 205 blocking one of your lanes, not a major concern for our commute over here. folks over there can't even see our show. 880 northbound at marina boulevard the on-ramp still affected by that disabled big rig so that will be one factor and across the san mateo bridge an easy drive westbound is your commute across the bridge but right now we're kicking in, only palo alto has that problem. back to you. >> thanks, mike. 4:50. election day is around the cornndan start voting early. san francisco voters can cast ballots at city voters can hea ridge strar's office for voting. locations are open from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. during the week. if you want to vote by mail the department of elections has begun sending out those ballots.
