happened 30 years agoe. we felt some shaking last night and now everything has since calmed down. hopefully it stays that way as we take a live look in san francisco. fog is back this morning. we're seeing the fog at about 1,000 feet and below. we'll have a cool start with some mist and drizzle and temperatures in the low 50s leading into low 60s throughout the day. let's get a look at our and how our day are at 12:30 and going to be at about 70 degrees in danville and concord and san mu teo 63 degrees. we have upper 70s for the san jose during the middle of the day and some low 60s and then dropping back into the mid-50s. as we look at this next storm system on the satellite imagery it will bring rain to the area as we go into late tomorrow night into thursday we can see showers moving through. the timing is during the overnight hours and before you wake up on thursday. and then another system right behind that for the weekend that will keep it cool and also bring

in some more scattered showers, especially to our north. we'll be watching out for that. meantime we're going to have clear skies today. this is a look at tomorrow afternoon with some partly to mostly cloudy skies and then a little rain starting to move from north to south. by midnight we could see that rain approaching san francisco. moving over towards the east bay and kind of falling apart as it but our rainfall totals look to be very light at this time. about a trace to maybe a few hundreds of an inch. so it's going to be a light one and it could make the roads wet and then as we go through the rest of the forecast for the inland areas we have low 80s today and some mid-70s for the rest of the week and into the weekend and then in san francisco we're staying in the 60s and watching out for that chance of rain early thursday morning. we'll have more on that and, mike you're tracking the issues as far as related to the quake. all those issues are cleared and we're looking at a drive for the

minutes the build coming out of brentwood and slo narrows from two lanes to one. typical patterns and nothing surprising about that. we're looking at a nice easy drive down the east shore freeway and 23 minutes frommiway 4 to toll plaza. we were concerned and now things have a typical pattern, maybe even lighter than a typical tuesday. any delays we is just fine on the b.a.r.t. back to you. >> you know what i just learned what great shape you are in mike. he was running during that report and didn't get out of breath at all. thanks so much. 6:19 right now. certainly staying on top of the developing story everybody is talking about this morning. that earthquake that rattled contra costa county. >> this comes on the 30th anniversary of the loma prieta earthquake. back in a moment.

alternateing between squeezing and stretching. next comes the secondary wave while taking longer to travel create a more side to side shaking. then comes thes liquefy. seismologists keith knudsen explains. >> it was damaging because of our urban infrastructure. it shook parts of the bay area much more intensely than we may have anticipated and that intense shaking especially where around the margins of the bay where there is soft soil that intense shaking did damage. >> tomorrow i talk about the difference between magnitude and the modified mercalli shaking intensity scale. it's how we measure damage to structures in an earthquake. >> thank you, kari. the high cost of living in the bay area could shut down a few schools. evergreen lost 2,500 students over the last several years. high cost of living forcing families to move so evergreen is going to have to close or

and typical pattern. not bad here. 88 south that crash is over on the shoulder and it's a distraction, but not a problem. and 92 west across the san mateo bridge and folks heading to the peninsula which is still at speed for the most part. over here slowing for walnut creek and the upper east shore freeway, guys. back to you. >> thanks so much. you may have felt the earthquake this is a way for you to see the jolt. this is a seismologist map that we have in our newsroom where you can see how quick, how violent it was and it happened in the east bay. >> the way to figure out what happened is to go where there are lot of on a shelf and that's where sharon katsuda is at a safeway. >> i was just talking to a couple customers and they just opened at 6:00 here in the poet's corner and they're pretty

derog groggy because they felt that jolt. they knocked over liquor bottles here in safeway and some that fell to the floor, you can see, they mopped up the spill, but they left the liquor the alcohol left stains here on video of what happened right after the quake. they had to evacuate this store. the shoppers evacuated because bottles, as you can see, were flying off the shelves. they just wanted to make sure everyone was safe. fortunately, no one was injured. they did get out safely. but, we talked to some shoppers who said boy, they couldn't really get back to sleep after they felt that last night. >> that everybody was okay and then i got a little paranoid you know you get nervous about gas leaks or things shaking loose in the house. but everything seemed to be okay. it lasted a little while, though. >> so you can see back here live some of the bottles still here on the shelves and employees trying to restock

shelves and clean up this mess after the quake. cans that fell off the shelf. a lot of dents in them. they're trying to still, the store opened at 6:00 and people are shopping. some messes in the stores i'm sure. and just report it to the employees, if you come across any. it's a group effort but they're back open here at safeway. reporting live sharon katsuda. >> thanks so much sharon. let's check in with kris. erage in walnut creek with the latest on b.a.r.t. >> yeah, so, i'm not too far from where sharon is. but we are at the walnut creek b.a.r.t. station and the rail inspections are now complete and that the commute should proceed as normally as you might expect for tuesday morning. now, on our way here we stopped by contra costa fire station one where we were hearing reports of damage. but it was all quiet and we couldn't see much from the street. so perhaps minor damage there. look at this shake mapu see it was

felt pretty far away. on facebook a viewer told me he felt it down into san jose not far from the airport and we also overnight talked with a dad who felt it in berkeley but pretty gad his kids slept through it. >> pretty brief, but startling moment and we checked to see if everything was okay and our youngest was still asleep. >> did anything fall from your shelves or any p >> the shelf, nothing really sueveresevere. >> so just a reminder in case you don't remember what you do in an earthquake. you drop you cover and you hold on if possible. if you're in your car, pull over and make sure you wait it out. in walnu "today in the bay." >> that's a tough thing. when you're in your car it's tough because you can't tell because you're moving. here's some general safety tips. if you're indoors, stay away from windows or light fixtures. they could fall.

glass could shatter and injury you. if you are outside, stay clear of any buildings and, of course always stay away from power lines. last night's earthquake comes as we're days away from prieta earthquake. all this week we'll look back at the devastating quake. coming up in a few minutes, mike inouye will join us to talk about where he was and the devastating impact it perspective. this morning questions and confusion for friends and family of a tech ceo who was found dead in san jose over the kdweekend. want to know how she died and some issue with how they interacted with police. >> ian cull reports it's so difficult for the family members on many levels. >> reporter: a memorial at the place where erin valenti was discovered saturday. many unanswered questions. police found her inside the rental car so many were looking for. her husband flew in the day after she missed her flight back the phone. he spoke with us on friday. >> trying to figure out where she was. she was still saying i'm going

ukiah reach 83 degrees and antioch and san jose we'll see a high. we're all clear today and this storm system approaching rain late tomorrow night. this storm system will also keep it breezy as we go throughout the nex quick-moving showers before we get to the weekend. but then we see several more storm system right behind that. so we are going to have some active weather and gusty winds and even a few rain chances going into the next several days. we're clear today, once again. but for tomorrow we're starting to see some clouds moving in. we could start to see some rain move in before midnight in the north bay and then approaching san francisco, parts of the east bay early thursday morning. this is before you wake up and head out the door. we will see a round of wet weather and our models are showing very light 0.04. just enough to make the ground wet before we go back into some dry weather. our temperatures reach into the mid-70s inland. we're looking at 70s even going

into the end of the weekend for san francisco, not changing too much as far as temperatures. but at times we'll see sun, clouds and even a chance of those showers early thursday morning. mike tracking the roads, how is it looking out there? >> we're looking all right. the san mateo bridge taking a look behind me. eastbound not a problem and westbound moving well. taillightsighter than your typical tuesday. we show a slow down for the nimitz and the san he bay. right at the camera the most traffic and still holding steady for san jose and silicon valley. 580 eases up and slows, again. right around north first and then slow for 84 and 684 heading down and we're sticking around with similar speeds 50 miles per hour and down here for the nim nimitz as well. slower drive for walnut creek and lafayette and 680 and 24 ighway 4 continues to feed and areas for contra costa

county and developing in richmond but no surprises. in fact nothing dramatic. about 25 almost 30 minutes from highway 4 to the bay bridge toll plaza. theic bap and icbackup and metering lights turned on early. no reason we saw for that. >> that's good. let's get you back up to speed on that 4.5 magnitude earthquake in contra costa county. last night was centered in pleasant hill. here are some minor damage to tell you about. people felt it across the bay area and this morning we're monitoring very minor after shocks. a lot of them cannot be felt. usgs says a 2% chance of a stronger quake within the next week. and, of course this all coincides with our look back all this week at 30 years since the loma killed 63 people and destroyed thousands of buildings and left the bay area in shambles. >> mike inouye one of the many

people watching the devastation unfold back on that fateful day he joins us now to talk more about it and take us back to your version of october 17th. >> i have grown up in the area and at that point i was in college in ucla and i was sort of just hanging out with a bunch of other folks from the bay area apartment watching the world series as this happens. the picture goes to black. we're kind of chuckling thinking someone pulled the wrong cable and that was it. come back to find out they're talking about an earthquake. separated by hundreds of miles now and my parents they were fine and my brother in later. that was unusual. we didn't usually have things fall down at our house. so we went on to check things out and we wat picture came in and more information. and then my buddies trieded to call home and they couldn't because the phones were not connected. >> we did not have cell phones. >> a lot of people didn't. >> we didn't even have cordless in our apartment. then we saw the bay bridge collapse. there was the upper deck that

was a huge issue and then we were showing this cypress structure here, as well. the 880 and there was a structure there connecting what is now a curve. there is first of all, let's look at the smoke. this used to be a double decker freeway. the upper deck collapsed down on to the bottom deck and in between dozens of cars. >> a lot of people did not survive. some people were stuck in their car. >> same thing we're watching to see if there were more survivors. similar to what we watched with 9/11. just hoping they will find another sign of life. then let me show you how far this was as far as the distance on 880. the nimitz for those who are not so familiar. this is a critical way we travel up towards fremont and bay bridge.e'res you approach the maze the yellow section there. that was the old section called the viaduct. that is what collapsed. that pink section had to be rebuilt and it took eight years to do that.

mile and a quarter. critical connector between the bay bridge and the nimitz. that is replaced and we don't have the bay bridge which collapsed. that pink section took eight years and the bay bridge one month. >> they had to do whatever they could to get it up and running again. >> we were concerned about the bay bridge and now, interestingly, i think about that and watching over the bay bridge with you guys. >> speaking of the bay bridge, we talked a little bit, people may or may not know there is a troll that was put there for good luck. >> by the steel workers. update and now it's back there, againp. >> speaking of steel workers, you have a tie. >> my grandfather helped build the bay bridge. right. exactly. so i >> we'll hear your story. >> i was in college at st. you more. >> two perspectives. >> yeah exactly. i was lucky. exactly. >> >> thanks, guys.
