>> "today in the bay's" kris sanchez joins us live in los gatos this morning. what do you know, kris? >> reporter: hi there, laura and marcus. i just talked with the fire captain 15 minutes ago. he tells me the fire here is not least one crew is going to stay put just in case. the fire happened about 1:30 this morning, runs parallel to the main author yofare north santa cruz avenue. captain bill murphy tells me the fire started in one business that was in the middle of that building but damaged both of the businesses on either side. firefighters got that call around 1:30 this morning and because the roof structure is old, it took them about an hour to put it out. it had to be unnerving for one business in particular here in downtown los gatos because it happened just a ways back behind double d's sports grill, if you live ins area you know only recently reopened after it was gutted by a fire in 2016. at this point, santa clara county fire investigators will

look into this fire, but at this point, it does not appear to be suspicious. in los gatos, snch smpkris sanc "today in the bay." >> thank you. this morning we're tracking the path of hurricane dorian, churning in the atlantic and set to become a major storm. it's taking straight aim at florida, but where it will exactly strike remains uncertain. the forecast track did change overnight and moved south toward palm beach but up and down the florida coastline, concerns are running high as are preparations. millions of people are now stocking up on supplies, they're filling up their gas tanks. this is how it looks outside of ft. lauderdale where the lanes are very long. right now it's looking like landfall will hit on sunday. dorian already hit parts of the caribbean, as the tropical storm, but did little damage, mostly bringing heavy rain and downing trees. at that point it was far from the category 4 storm it may be by sunday. when it slams florida, dorian could pack winds of at least 130

miles per hour. category 4 storm, that's why florida's governor already declared a state of emergency. >> we're ready. we have the best people in the world ready, and they're going to help you. we're shipping food. we're shipping water, about you it may be that you're going to evacuate. we're going to see what happens. we're waiting. >> president trump has scrapped a trip to poland to help florida brace for the worst case scenario. kari hall will join us with more on the hurricane's track coming up a little bit later. the search is on for the culprits who stole puppies from a san francisco animal shelter. two of three dogs were recovered in the east bay. >> "today in the bay's" bob redell live for us outside of the hayward police department, and bob, i know we found two of those puppies. any information about the third one still missing? >> reporter: marcus and laura, possibly. law enforcement will likely search a home here in hayward at some point. just before 11:00 last night, hayward police did return two 4-month-old husky puppies to the

director of family dog a pit bu shelter wednesday night. family rescue blasted the dogs pictures on social media and searched for the dogs on for sale websites. rcovth police arrested two men and found the huskies safe. >> to take our dogs is just -- i don't know, it's beyond me, honestly. i almost always think that when you think of a shelter, you would think to give, not that you would sneak in and steal their dogs. >> reporter: there is still that third dog, it's an 8-week-old pit bull with mange, still missing. hayward police says san francisco police is taking over this investigation, will likely as i mentioned search a home in hayward looking for that pit bull, and other items stolen from the shelter. security cameras captured three men inside the shelter leaving with the dogs, ipads and medication. staff members said the thieves cut a lock to get bob redell, ""
