7:14 am
welcome back. it's 7:14 on your saturday morning. is it ever not beautiful to look at the golden gate bridge? and still finding a way to shine even though we have a bit of a gloomy morning here, it's the first weekend of fall and vianey arana is tracking some fall-like temperatures, a cooler day and a windy day ahead for today. now to an interesting way to getid of homeless people from people in one san francisco neighborhood. they brought in massive boulders
7:15 am
to their sidewalks. the neighbors got together and used their own money to put the boulders there and they seem to be doing their job. but now homeless advocates want them gone and one woman is offering them up f free. this fight is happening on clinton park street. this is near dolores and mission. one woman says it's a gesture of hate towards the homeless. that woman then posted the boulders on craigslist for free in the free section but her post was flagged and removed. city public works crews have already been called out twice to that street to put the boulders back on the sidewalk after they rolled into the street. >> the rocks should be removed immediately by dpw. the fact that they went twice already and haven't removed the rocks is just wrong. >> the city tells us it has no plans to remove those boulders. another poll that supports what many of us l know. more and more people are thinking about moving out of
7:16 am
california. a new poll by the berkeley institute of governmental studies says half of the state's registered voters have thought about leaving. 24% admit giving it serious quote. 28% are giving it some consideration. the high cost of housing was the most common reason. more than half cited high taxes. and politics are a factor as well. republicans and conservatives are far more likely to name the political climate as their reason to leave. all right, this has been a bit of a somber mood as we say good-bye to a dear friend. this in case you didn't know is the final weekend for giants manager bruce bochi and that means the final chance for giants fans to say good-bye. giants and dodgers, bochy in good spirits, 13 years in the bay area, 3 world series titles, and so many great memories. we don't see this often, a great leader well respected and no drama. >> the one thing that bochy
7:17 am
always brought into that clubhouse that i thought was the biggest advantage you could possibly have for a team was to be calm. if you walked into the giants clubhouses, no matter how big the game was and how many win or go home games did they play in 2012, there was a bunch, he held them together in the five-game series with cincinnati. >> bochy will receive a key to the city today at oracle park. and we have a special look back at bochy's remarkable career, a one-hour special tonight at 5:00 on nbc sports bay area. and then again at 6:30 right here on nbc bay area. . saw steve kerr at the game last night, a nice speech and gosh, we'll miss him. let's check in with vianey arana. >> i'm sure he'll be hanging out around plenty of games. >> let's hope. >> we will have a beautiful day but it's going to consist of some gusty winds this evening,
7:18 am
so if winds are not your friend, don't wear flowy dresses and please put your hair in a pony. gentlemen, the baseball hats are going to go flying. right now, san jose, 54 degrees, wind speeds of up to 5 miles per hour, beautiful start over san jose but look at that. san francisco, 53 degrees, wind speeds at about 18 miles per hour. now, even though it's a little breezy it's going to get gustier into the evening. i want to talk about this 24-hour temperature change so we're in the 50s right now. yesterday, at this hour, look at the temperature difference. we're about 18 degrees cooler in santa rosa, 9 degrees in san francisco, 7 degrees in oakland, 10 degrees in livermore, and 9 degrees in concord. certainly feeling those cooler temperatures, system off to the north is developing and that's what brought a lot of that change in terms of our temperatures. your microclimate highs for today, 4 degrees cooler in some spots compared to yesterday's daytime highs, still a little warm in some spots but overall
7:19 am
look at oakland, 69 degrees, san francisco a high of 67, san jose, 71, concord, 73, and again, it will be breezy so what am i talking about when i talk about the winds? let's look at your hour-by-hour forecast. it's going to get gusty around half moon bay. right now about 26-mile-per-hour gusts. by 12:00, 34-mile-per-hour gusts, san francisco, 17 miles per hour, redwood city, 20, but let me advance this through tonight into the evening hours right around dinnertime, this is when we're going to definitely notice the wind. look at redwood city. 26 miles per hour, san francisco, 24, half moon bay gets pretty gusty at about 38, maybe even into the 40-mile-per-hour range so keep that in mind as you head out later tonight. we have launched our very own storm ranger, the reason for that is because we've got a cold front off to the north and we're tracking the possibility of seeing some showers but they're going to be pretty far off north so most of the bay area, not really going to feel it. current satellite radar right now, you can see eureka, redding, couple spots of drizzle through there, the biggest
7:20 am
impact coming through the system is going to be to the sierra mountains. if you're going to be traveling up through lake tahoe today or tomorrow, we've got the winds kicking up right around 12:00 and look at 1:00. 51 degrees. by 2:00, 48 degrees. this is going to be a very cold rain so take your jacket, take your coat, there's a winter weather advisory for the sierra, that kicks in around 2:00, right around when the winds start picking up, snow near 5,000 feet. there is a lake wind advisory for the higher elevations off lake tahoe, kirkwood, bear valley and all of that. over the next seven days, tomorrow it's going to be even koo cooler as that cold front approaches. 63 degrees for san francisco tomorrow, daytime highs, by the middle of the week into wednesday we're going to start to warm right back up again but this is pretty impressive. the showers, again, the most of the bay area not really going to see it. might get a little drizzly along the host, mainly far napa for tomorrow, kira. >> looks like fall indeed, vianey. thanks. it is just shy of 7:21.

7:25 am
rescue. >> i was going to whole foods and i saw him walking up and down the street. >> reporter: veronica phagen is a dog walker who has helped people look for lost dogs before, but sean's case was special. veronica was just theirst to offer up her couch so sean could continue looking for yippy. >> shelby's just -- >> reporter: stacy and half a dozen others followed suit. >> it was like immediate. people were just like, oh, you can stay here, i know somebody that has an open room. >> i don't see another choice. i mean, i would want somebody to do it for me. >> reporter: the group has also paid to have flyers printed for sean, kept maps of all the blocks they've searched, even given him gift cards for food. they say sean's passion for yippy is what gives them passion to continue. >> i lost him a while ago in a different area but somebody told me that somebody around here might have him. >> reporter: they promised to keep helping sean as long as he keeps hope alive.

7:31 am
presidential bid. we have video of the doctor leaving an event last night in san francisco. the former vice president is now a central figure in president trump's impeachment inquiry. the whistle-blower complaint claims president trump withheld military aid funding from ukraine while asking the country's president to dig up dirt on biden and his son. dr. biden didn't address that topic last night. some say they're glad she didn't. >> see, i would say no. i mean, it's just evident what he did, what trump did, so i don't think she needed to say anything. >> keep digging and then we'll understand better and then we can make a proper assessment. until then it's a lot of noise taking away from actual policy work. >> the house intelligence committee will continue to investigate during this legislative recess. there are depositions scheduled next week for five state department officials with knowledge of trump's engagements with ukraine. meanwhile, republicans continue to cast doubt on the whistle-blower's credibility. at the same time, 300 former national security professionals
7:32 am
are calling president trump's actions a national security concern. they released a signed letter yesterday saying they support the impeachment inquiry by congress. three house committees have subpoenaed secretary of state mike pompeo asking for documents from him related to the ukraine probe. a follow-up now to a story we first reported thursday night. local police have been poring over surveillance video hoping to track down the person who attacked a 91-year-old man inside a cemetery. it would in t it happened in santa clara on september 14th. investigators say the man was sitting near his wife's grave when someone hit him from behind with a rock and then robbed him. this is the sketch of the man police are looking for. the woman who walks that area daily says she and others saw this attacker riding his bike through the park for about a week prior to the attack. >> now everybody's vigilant and looking out and we're all
7:33 am
watching for him. we all want to catch him and call the cops. >> this man is believed to be hispanic, about 35 to 50 years old, about 6' tall with slicked back gray hair and a gray mustache. investigators also want to hear from anyone with surveillance video from the streets surrounding that cemetery in santa clara. turning now to a fiery plane crash in stanislaw county. remarkably, he avoided hitting any cars and he was not hurt. still no word on what caused that emergency landing. more than 100 people took to the streets of santa rosa last night, nearly 2 years after their homes were destroyed by the fires. their time and their money is running out. they're about to be cut off from their temporary living expenses and they're desperate for help. this is all about their insurance companies so consumer investigator chris stepped in

and he's in santa rosa with some answers. >> strength together, guys. >> reporter: in the old courthouse square, protesters call for an unusual form of justice, insurance justice. these picketers are all people who lost their homes in the wild firs in 2017. they say insurance companies are now about to cut off their temporary living expenses right at the two-year anniversary of the fires even if their homes aren't finished. maria gaitan is protesting on behalf of her 91-year-old dad. >> we don't have any control about getting the house built sooner. it is up and under construction but it is going to take three, four more months. >> reporter: rally organizers say rebuilding has been slow here but insurance companies are ignoring that reality. they're sticking to 24 months of living expenses, the minimum required by law. >> 5,300 homes burned. we are rebuilding at an unprecedented rate and we've only rebuilt 18%. so, how are they not getting that it takes more than 24 months to rebuild 5,300 homes?
7:35 am
>> reporter: we asked the surance industry about that. they told us insurance companies understand their customers are facing situations that are not within their full control. and each claim is unique to the customer's situation and insurers will work with each customer individually throughout the rebuilding process. but the protesters here say that's not happening. most people are only getting two years of assistance as spelled out in their policy. many families are due to be cut off within weeks. their plea to insurance companies is simple. >> do the right thing. don't leave your insurers now. this is the time when they most need you. >> reporter: in santa rosa, chris kimura, nbc bay area news. the insurance commissioner is urging insurance companies to extend fire victims' benefits but it's just a request. his office actually lacks the power to require extensions. if you have a consumer complaint, call our tip line 1-888-996-tips or visit our website,

7:46 am
rosa, 22. so let's talk about the changes ahead. we do have our very own mobile doppler radar storm ranger, up and scanning. the reason for that is because we do have a cold front just off to the north and that's going to be dropping down ove the next couple of hours. satellite required right now, this is what we're currently looking at so as far as rain chances right now it looks like it's going to stick mainly off around this reading area and overall within the next 24 hours the biggest impact will be over the sierra nevada so that is why we have big changes coming up. if you're traveling to lake tahoe, we're going to be sunny and fine but still gusty. around 11:00 a.m., we start to notice the rains and the wind coming down so this is your window to head out now if you want to avoid those tough road conditions. 51 degrees by 1:00. and then that rain will turn into snow overnight into sunday. there is a winter weather advisory from 2:00 p.m. through monday at 5:00 p.m. we're talking about snow near 5,000 feet. that lake wind advisory also in
7:47 am
effect. so please make sure to check those road conditions. over the next seven days as the cold front drops down, it's going to be cooler in san francisco, 63 degrees and then by the middle of the week into wednesday, we start to warm back up into the upper 70s and 80s but showers, again, really far off to the north and east. it will be cool only topping out in the 60s for tomorrow. so it will really feel like fall. bring out those fall candles, my favorite, kira. >> i know they are. all right, vianey, thanks. it is 7:47. still ahead on "today in the bay," ready for a full restoration. we'll tell you the reason why one of san francisco's most moving public artworks is getting a makeover. is skincare from around the world
7:50 am
over 10 years. olay's hydration was unbeaten every time. olay, face anything. san francisco is filled with public art and often it takes a lot of maintenance. the holocaust memorial, for one, is getting a rare makeover. today's joe takes us there. >> reporter: in a quiet corner near san francisco aes legion of honor museum, a place to contemplate history's long shadow. past the spectacular views, a somber view of the past. artist george segal's memorial for victims of the holocaust. >> so the piece has been -- was installed in 1984. it was a gift to the city. it tended to look like a plaster piece but it is actually bronze and that's -- the reason it has held up so well outside for 35 years. >> reporter: but 35 years outside in the elements is a long time for art.
7:51 am
so, this past week, san francisco's arts commission began a delicate and unique a restoration project as you can imagine. >> this is the first time we've taken it out in its 35-year history. we're moving it because it allows us to do a much more intensive restoration project. we have to take it apart piece by piece and document how we're going it. >> reporter: segal's depiction of 11 figures in concentration camps has not only weathered the elements, it's weathered a storm of hate. the piece was tagged several times with anti-semitic graffiti and painted over. but for this occasion, the restoration, it's motivated by respect. >> we're taking care of a major monument in the city's art collection but we're also raising the consciousness about it. >> reporter: the figures will be taken to oakland where they're being restored. the group art care is raising $65,000 for the work.
7:52 am
>> so it's really important to take care of this and to bring it to public view again. >> we treat the artwork ethically and with care. >> reporter: the restoration is expected to take a couple months with the pieces set to reunite with their quiet corner in late november back beneath the long shadows of history. joe risoto jr., nbc bay area news. >> more news now about the epidemic of severe lung damage from vaping. the cdc reports more than three quarters of those who got seriously ill were vaping thc. here in california, you can buy thc cartridges both legally and on the black market. one of the leading cannabis testing facilities in the nation agreed to test both kinds, the legal and illegal, looking for contaminants. that includes vitamin e acetate, which some researchers suspect may be causing lung injuries. well, they didn't find anything in the legal cancers but the
7:53 am
illicit samples came back positive. >> they have some of the highest rate of pesticide. one sample had 51 times the legal limit and they also both contained vitamin e oil. >> so far the cdc is reporting 12 people have died because of vaping-related injuries, including two people here in california. all right, if you're a parent you likely have dodged some angry stares when you have boarded a plane with your kids. here's some good news for people who don't want to sit near babies in flight. an airline is letting passengers see where kids are sitting. japan airlines is telling travelers where children are seated on their flight. it works by showing a child icon on the seating charts for flights. something to note, though, if you're looking forward to using that feature, it only works if the other travelers book the seats directly through japan airlines. at 7:53, we have much more ahead on "today in the bay." coming up, it's our "clear the shelters" segment featuring our friends from pets in need.
7:56 am
welcome back. it's tile for our "clear the shelters" segment introducing our friends from pets noo need. executive director alma and martha are here with sam and roma. i was rushing to get seated by you. i haven't seen al since i got back. marcia, we were reunited last weekend. if you saw on my instagram, they gave me little sweatshirts for my son. pets in need, thank you for that. you guys are the best. i'm so happy to see you both and these cute little dogs, sam and romar. is it roamer because he roams the streets? no, it's romar. >> we're pretty sure they came from the same litter. this is sam. this is romar. >> look at that bow tie. >> they were -- they were adopted from a -- from a family
7:57 am
at a very young age and then i guess the family lost housing or something happened and at 11, they were brought to our shelter. they are a bonded pair so they need to be adopted together which is a little bit harder to adopt out to a family. >> right. >> but sometimes people aren't willing to take on two at one time and then there's that sort of added, i don't know, stigma, maybe, that they're older. >> right. >> and people don't always want to adopt older dogs. >> i chased them as i was walking in today. they did not act like they were 11. >> they're older but they have a lot of energy. >> a lot of energy and a lot of life still in them. >> absolutely. >> someone who's adopting them isn't necessarily just looking at a year with them. they're looking at some time. >> they're healthy. they're in good shape. >> and you took care of some dental work for them. you did some things they needed. otherwise they're perfect and ready to go. >> yeah. >> so what kind of home would be good for them, somewhere with space for them to run? >> i don't think they need too
7:58 am
much space. >> i don't think so. somebody who's going to give them a lot of attention because you have two dogs that are used to a lot of tlc. and you know, just somebody that will have a lot of time to socialize and play with these guys. >> they like smaller dogs as well, and i've seen them around kids and they've done really well. they've done fine. >> so they could theoretically go to a home that already has pets. >> smaller dog and kids. that's really good to know. they seem really sweet. very calm. even though you said they have great energy, they're good lap dogs as well so that's a nice versatility. >> right. >> we hope they get adopted and we should mention they are at your redwood city shelter. >> right. >> your new -- your original location as opposed to your new palo alto location. >> correct. >> so, if you'd like to find out more about sam and romar, go to pets in need's website, petsinneed.org. we hope they both get adopted and get their forever home together. al and martha, thank you so much for coming in. and thank you for making us a
