a.m., that's on wednesday morning. >> 5:06 for you right now. exhausted and hungry, the end of that massive migrant caravan is now in mexico city. migrants began arriving there yesterday. most of them walk or hitchhike, and they're now being hosted at a local stadium. many migrants left their home countries in central america fleeing poverty and violence. president trump there has made the caravan a big issue in the buildup to tuesday's election. there are now actually three caravans slowly moving through mexico, stretched across 300 miles. ahead of two key meetings focused on rvs in san francisco, "the examiner" obtained hard numbers on people sleeping in their vehicles. recent count found 432 vehicles being used for sleeping in san francisco. 313 were rvs. 119 more were passenger vehicles like suvs. most are being parked in one of three neighborhoods, mission, bay view, or taraval. not all are homeless. some may be trying to shorten

their commutes. >> 5:07 for you right now. new for you this morning, a story you'll only see on "today in the bay." we're home again, where one of the most powerful machines on the globe, the livermore national laboratory unveiled sierra, the world's third fastest super computer. >> "today in the bay's" bob redell joins us live outside the lab. sierra will be used for national security and to improve health. >> reporter: correct, laura and marcus, specifically to look for better treatments for cancer. think about that high-end pc desktop computer you might have at home. for perspective, it can perform 100 billion floating point operations per second. take a look at this video. this is sierra, 125 petaflop super computer that can perform 125 quadrillion floating operations per second, over a million times more powerful than your high-end pc. it takes up 7,000 square feet at

lawrence livermore lab, 240 racks of computers outfitted with ibm cpu but nvidia gpus. it's architecture that will allow scientists to model and do simulations in 3-d as opposed to 2-d. scientists are using sierra to come up with new drug therapies for treating certain types of cancers, doing research on traumatic brain injuries, earthquake simulations. eventually sierra used to identify the country's stockpile of nuclear weapons, since underground test something no longer allowed. underground testing is no longer al allowed. >> the outside world can't see theical lagss we do. the calculations that we do. they can't see the results. it's classified. they can see the hardware we site and the hardware we site sends a message to the rest of the world that we take our mission seriously and tend to

stay a step ahead of everybody else. >> many of the reasons that drug discovery fails right now is because we're guessing at stuff. we guess at a solution. might work in a rat or a mouse and you get to the end, doesn't quite work in a human or it would work except it kills them. so toxicology is a huge issue in drug discovery. with a machine, we can do these tests in silico rather than real life so this ability to accelerate drug discovery is something critical, going to be one of the premier uses of large scale computing i think going forward. >> reporter: sierra generates so much heat, the super computer must be cooled with cold water pipes and giant cooling fans in a basement directly underneath. the system requires about 12 mega watts of electricity, that's enough power for about 9,000 homes. take a look at the list we put together on your tv screen. see the world's fastest computer at the oak ridge national lab in tennessee, second one is china,

sierra number three. lawrence livermore is home to sequoia, which was the fastest super computer in 2012. today, it's number eight. reporting live here in livermore, bob redell, "today in the bay." >> thank you, bob. happening today, the farm is giving back ahead of the holidays. the company will deliver 800 turkeys to the san francisco marin food bank house which helps feed those in need. this will kick off the start of the thanksgiving donation time. butterball's turkey hotline is now open. you can call and ask all of your pressing poultry questions. butterball is adding another handy helper there, alexa. you can ask alexa enabled devices for help by starting with alexa, ask butterball. so for that number, head over to our website, nbcbayarea.com. alexa, where can i get the best deal on a turkey? >> alexa, make reservations.

we have the crash and slowing. looks like it's blocking the fast lane. the initial report chp should get there quickly, hopefully moving quickly over the center divide. upper east shore freeway at speed to the bay bridge. we're still under 15 minutes from highway 4 to the building backup for the cash lanes and the fast track, sort of shuffling. cash lanes will start loosening up. fast track lanes are starting to build. no metering lights just yet but probably in the next seven or eight minutes over there, as is tradition. the flow on the rails as well, no problems, fully restored for the morning commute. they closed that section from bay shore north for the weekend work but that's back in service. back to you guys. >> thank you, mike. now let's get a look at the business and tech headlines. well good morning to you. i'm not quite sure where you'd like me, oh, very good, we'll do that. sounds wonderful. markets, well, sure we can start with that. iran, let's talk about iran. today is the day that iran will

east bay. it will contain items rated four stars or better. call it the best of store. apparently it's going to change items all the time, so you walk in, you see what's kind of cool, and then you come back out. so this won't be like the amazon go store we're continuing to see video of here in san francisco. >> right. >> where it's little small items. these will be the big things like blenders or things that are super popular on amazon. you can sort of, like the hall of fame of amazon. it will open up in the east bay. >> good to know. thanks so much. it's 5:15 right now. this morning, if you're heading out to fill up, prices at the gas pump are plunging. it comes as voters across the state will vote on repealing the gas tax during tomorrow's midterm elections. according to aaa in san francisco the average price per gallon for regular gas $3.90. in oakland $3.78 and san jose average is $3.76. analysts say falling crude oil prices are the biggest reason

for the decline at the pump. new for you this morning, if you think it's too early to trim the tree, think again. one study says putting up holiday decorations early can make you happier, according to "the journal of environmental psychology," decorations could bring up happy childhood memories. i guess it can, yes, and putting them up sooner rather than later could help boost your mood. another perk, putting those decorations up according to the study is the decorations may make you seem friendlier. >> okay. >> that's whey tat i try to tele homeowners association. >> they said don't leave them up. >> my trash cans make me feel happier. >> get rid of the pumpkins. i did that yesterday. why are these still out here on the porch in the yard. >> wow! >> i threw the pumpkins way yesterday. today if you're putting up the

into the next week or so, and then we're still looking at some very dry weather, highs in the upper 70s, but very pleasant all week long. morning temperatures in the upper 40s. san francisco upper 60s all week, with mostly sunny skies. as we head over to mike, you've been tracking a few issues especially for the east bay. >> that's right, kari. we had a couple crashes and the closure. most of those have cleared up. for the most part, green sensors as you would expect 5:19. take you over to highway 4, still tracking this crash out of antioch, in through pittsburg. we see slowing but we've gone from red to a little bit longer stretch, but it's orange. that means the speeds are better. i do believe that they've cleared the crash over to the shoulder, or at least the center divide at harbor, west highway 4 moves more smoothly, throwing through pittsburgh. bay point and concord and the rest of cocoa county looks great. 680 south through khanville in toward san ramon no problems, a light drive off the walnut creek interchange. here is your travel times, 14 minutes. under 15 from highway 4 to the bay bridge but the toll plaza we

and 26 minutes from grant line road to the dublin interchange. you have a slower drive just developing for the tri valley, right about on schedule here. the south bay of course is still clear northbound but we're seeing more traffic build. 5:44, and now to a horrific crash in contra costa county, this happened after a violent chain of events. the chp is saying that driver crashed into a motorcycle near discovery bay yesterday afternoon, fled the scene, and then crashed head-on into another car 500 feet away. the motorcyclist and everyone inside that second car suffered major injuries. the 33-year-old driver accused of causing both of those crashes has only minor injuries, but she has been arrested on suspicion of felony dui. the highway was shut down for a time in both directions during that investigation. a second busy night for firefighters in santa cruz county, battling a fire that left one alternate bay area commute route clouze closed.

the rincon fire burned 17 acres with 30% containment, burning near highway 9 and rincon crossing northeast of uc santa cruz. cal fire says steep terrain is making this a very tough fire fight, and people who live nearby say they feel the effects from the smoke. >> when i got down to bulger creek, the smoke, because i had my windows open was so bad, my eyes started to water and it kept getting worse. >> as of last night, authorities said highway 9 would remain closed at least threw the overnight hours. the plan could be a solution to a troubling problem, a rise in sexual assaults in santa clara county has led to the addition of a second clinic at stanford hospital. currently there's only one clinic operating where victims can have a rape kit administered, and it's miles away at valley medical center in san jose. supporters of the new clinic say someone has just endured a sexual assault should not have

to go so far. >> there is definitely a need for a rape kit exam location on campus. it's a great idea. we're happy it's moving forward. >> when plans were finally announced to open the clinic on the stanford campus, concerns were raised during a county supervisor's committee meeting. 5:46 right now. one day until the midterm elections. >> scott mcgrew, president trump calls it the second most important election ever. >> second most. yes, his being the first, of course, right? so tomorrow is the midterm election. get out there and vote. lots of california issues on the ballot. we have a voter's guide at nbcbayarea.com. the president spent the weekend flying from rally to rally in red states. here he is in tennessee last night. in macon, georgia, he once again warned of the threat of the caravan. >> how about that caravan? you want to let that caravan just pour in? last week i called up the united

states military. we're not playing games, folks. because you look at what's marching up, that's an invasion. that's an invasion. >> what the president has not said much about by comparison is the incredibly strong economy. on friday, we saw some of the best job numbers in decades and it's a credit to the white house that they're willing to take. the president has also been criticized for a campaign ad that's not only factually incorrect, it comes across to many as racist. now, cnn has refused to run that ad. in fact, generally speaking, news agencies don't play the full thing when talking about it on the news, because of its content. but nbc did air a shorter version of the ad last night during the green bay/new england football game. nbc is our parent company. we had nothing to do with the decision. nbc has not commented as to why th chose do that. debra messing took to twitter

and wrote "i want you to know i'm ashamed my network aired this disgusting racist ad. it is the antithesis of everything i believe in and whey believe our show is about." brian kemp running for governor in georgia accused the democrats in that state of trying to hack the election. kemp is also secretary of state. that means he's in the election and he's in charge of the election. he made the allegation without offering any evidence. that's become a familiar refr n refrain. news agencies will say, without evidence, like president trump says there are middle eastern terrorists in the kacaravan, without offering evidence. we will continue to cover what's going on in washington. tomorrow, very important, you can check out nbcbayarea.com for that voter's guide. >> all right, well, here is a little happiness, if you're fans of toys "r" us or geoffrey the giraffe. he's back, missing in action

with the company's bankruptcy of course, but there's a new deal in town, meaning nearly 600 kroger grocery stores will display a geoffrey toy box, a little holiday tie-in, offering some former toys "r" us toys. that means finding a kroger-owned grocery store which might be a little tough for us. we had to look online, you got to go to the smith's in carson city, so that's quite the drive there. but geoffrey the giraffe is an iconic symbol of toys "r" us, a tall one. not little. >> standing against the box that's fine, little cartoon, that's fine. the one that was leaning over kind of walking toward you, the camera at one point, that was scary. >> that was for halloween. >> all right, so let's get up and out the door this morning, as we head to walnut creek for your temperature trend. it's going to be a cool one, starting out once again with some low 50s. we'll be at 50 degrees right at

7:00, and then starting to warm up as we go throughout the morning. we'll be at 76 degrees at 1:00 today, and as you look at the bottom of the screen, the seven-day forecast is already up, as you make your way out the door. maybe you're on your way to the fruitvale b.a.r.t. station, a chilly morning once again and feeling very nice as we go into the afternoon. lot of sunshine in this forecast, with our south bay high of los gatos reaching 76 degrees. we'll be at 78, up to 78 in east san jose, and concord reaching 78 degrees. 74 in hayward, and the peninsula looking at a lot of 70s there, redwood city 73 and some upper 60s, still that gusty westerly wind picking up for san francisco while the north bay reaches up to 78 degrees. so we are starting to see the sunrise this morning, as you are getting dressed. you can see that coming through the window. make sure you have the sunglasses today, and some light long sleeves will be comfortable as we enjoy a cooldown compared to the weekend and we still have the dry northerly wind coming

in, as high pressure stays well to the west of us, and it still will be very dry. no rain chances here, but we will see a change in the pattern going into the middle of the month, that may bring some rain close by, but still doesn't look like it will rain here in the bay area. i'll of course continue to monitor that. and then we're looking at 70s all week long for our inland valleys and morning temperatures dropping back into the upper 40s. san francisco a lot of 60s here in this forecast this week. mike, you're tracking a crash on i-80? >> yes, it's in the north bay, but coming down to the carquinez bridge. concern because that's where we see the focus of traffic now anyway, right at the top of your screen. sorry i didn't move it down more, westbound 80 coming down in your commute direction at highway 37. it looks like everything just got moved to the shoulder in the last couple minutes and i see the speed sensors improving, headed toward the carquinez bridge, but that may be because folks were held up by the crash and the distrax so it's easier for west 80 aetching prothe

water. upper east shore a little slowing through san pablo and the bay bridge toll plaza where the metering lights are on. the south bay, the northbound routes moving nicely, 101 typical slowing on 101 north of 680 and slowing southbound 680 out of pleasanton and out of san ramon. no problem north through cocoa county and travel off the castro valley y an easy drive as well. live look shows you volume building across the san mateo bridge westbound, your commute direction moves smoothly. back to you. >> thanks, mike. 5:52 right now. still ahead on "today in the bay," buy less and still getting free shipping. an update in the push to win your dollars between target and amazon. plus -- >> that is the mantra, memories are worth fighting for. >> all new for you this hour, a promising new alzheimer's therapy, how it works and where research on that treatment stands this morning. but first, happening now, in just a few hours, jury selection starts for the trial of el

free shipping. amazon's offer starts today and target dropped its minimum order requirement last week. new hope this morning for alzheimer's patients and of course, the people who love them. doctors at west virginia university say they're working on a promising new therapy. patient wears a helmet that delivers ultrasound waves to the brain. patients also get an injection of so-called microbubbles, which open up what they call the blood brain barrier. >> the goal is to allow the plaques hopefully to be reduced and allow the clinical symptoms of alzheimer's to be improved as well. we want to be also realistic. this is an investigational study and we need to conduct the research study, but so far, so good. >> the treatment is still in clinical trial. now to a brand new story from our investigative unit. there is a multibillion-dollar underground black market which

federal agents compare to the drug trade. >> it is the smuggling and selling ofexotic animals as pets. it's happening all across california. >> we spent the last few months behind the scenes of this black market, where exotic species are traded and smuggled through our borders nearly every day. we also visited sanctuaries where many of these exotic pets end up when they become too hard and too dangerous to handle in people's back yards, that is, if the owners don't kill the animals first. one sanctuary showed us dozens of tigers rescued from people's back yards and roadside zoos. they and about a dozen other facilities like them are full, with no room to take any more rescued animals. >> people can't believe what a big problem it is. i mean, there are thousands and thousands, you know, like 7,000 tigers in people's back yards in the united states, and there are

only 4,000 in the wild. there are more pet tigers in the united states than there are wild tigers in the rest of the world. >> reporter: we also followed u.s. border patrol agents and u.s. fish and wildlife agents as they tried to stop these animals from being smuggled across the border. you might not believe some of the animals that they have intercepted recently. see for yourself in our special report later tonight at 11:00 on nbc bay area. >> if you want to get hold of the investigative unit, give them a call 888-996-tips or logon to the website, nbcbayarea.com/investigations. a triple shooting at 2:00 this morning, leaving one person dead. this morning we're live at the scene. investigating tesla, we're taking you through a brand new report published one hour ago. the restrictions of when tesla workers can call 911.

"today in the bay" continues right now. good morning. thank you for starting your day with us. i'm marcus washington. >> i'm laura garcia. you got an extra hour of sleep over the weekend and now time for work. >> the extra hour of sleep means the sun will be rising earlier this morning, so we are going to see mostly clear skies as you get ready to head out the door. let's head over to dublin where you see the sun coming over the hills. still 35 minutes away from sunrise. headed to work, it is chilly out there, only some upper 40s, but a quick warmup as we go into the afternoon hours, we'll be in the mid-70s by 1:00 today. we'll take a look at all of our microclimates coming up.
