microclimates coming up. mike, you're starting out with a slow stretch of the nimitz. the rest of the bay shows speed sensors great. there's a closure at industrial, routed off and back onto the freeway and that's the slowest stretch. i'm not sure why this showed up right here, coming off the san mateo bridge eastbound into the area as well. obstruction just reported. i'm check on that with chp. again, this is the extended stretch and this should be cleared up over the next couple minutes for 5:00 southbound souft 9s 2. the rest of the bay getting through coco county just great. the emergency landing of a soyuz space capsule carrying a nasa astronaut. this is video of the rocket as it took off in kazakhstan. two men headed to the international space station. a booster malfunction took place

and key access roads. the city declared a state of emergency monday hoping to fast track a $500,000 repair job. the plan is to shore up 120 feet of wall with steel plates driven 35 feet into the bay mud. >> then you attach them to the wall so that they hold the wall up and keep it from shaking. if there's an earthquake, if there's a big wave action, whatever there is. >> reporter: people who live here are relieved city leaders are taking action. >> we want to make sure it's well maintained and safe because having it the other way around would be tragic. especially if an earthquake or everything elts can happen at any moment. >> i think they're probably taking the right action. they have engineers and they're looking out for public safety. >> city managers saying it's a three-week job to shore up that wall. hopefully it will be complete before the winter storm hits. turning to a heat battle
