mike pence was tested as well. he does not have covid at this point. and developing as well from this "today in the bay's" bob redell joins us now. he has reaction from a local woman who is actually afraid she might have been exposed during tuesday noitight's presidential debate. >> reporter: we also learned senator kamala harris has tested negative. she was tested yesterday. a san francisco woman who attended tuesday night's presidential debate as a guest of vice president joe biden is terrified president trump and first lady melania trump might have exposed her and others in the debate hall. it's not clear if the president and/or the first lady were contagious that night. she is from san francisco, as i mentioned. her father died of covid-19, and she blames president by an nbc news reporter she writes

trump has, quegard for human life and criticizes his family for refuse to ing to wea masks. and yet again donald trump's contemptuous disregard for science and the value of human lives has jeopardized the lives of americans, including myself. the trump family exposed every attendee at the debate, guests, workers, the secret service. irresponsible is an understatement this is criminal. earlier this morning secretary of state mike pompeo spoke to reporters about the latest news on a flight to croatia, the news the president tests positive and the first lady. he and his wife tested negative. >> we're praying for the he president and the first lady that they'll haveedy recovery. >> i'm sorry, can you speak up a little bit. >> i spoke with the vice president's office this morning as well. we're taking this obviously very

seriously and we'll do everything we can to keep everyone safe including you all. >> we all know that covid-19 can be anything from very minor, you hardly know you have it, to something so severe you can't do anything. this is what we don't know and we won't know until we actually see the president. we don't know when we're going to see the president. there have been many times we haven't been told everything. by the way, all you have to do is go back to the reagan attempted assassination where his folks said he's fine. hardly anything wrong as he lay almost near death. >> reporter: that was nbc bay area political analyst larry gerston. president trump's personal physician released a memo confirming the president's positive covid-19 results writing he and the first lady are well, will remain home at the white house, and the president will continue to carry out his duties without disruption while recovering. "today in the bay."

>> all right, bob. and just in to us here nbc bay area we're just finding out the president has mild symptoms after finding out that he does have covid-19. again, the president has mild symptoms with covid-19. we want to take a pause for you that morning on that breaking news with the president and take you to the breaking news at home. those wildfires near the north bay towns destroying pretty much everything in its path. a home burning. look at that. >> and there are so many people who don't nope tknow the status their own home. cierra johnson joins us live. what a hard weekend for those folks. they don't even know if their homes are there, cierra. >> reporter: exactly. visually it does not get any easier. i can only imagine how those homeowners and business owners

feel not knowing what's going on. right now we are in calistoga, also highway 29, rather, where there was a fire overnight. still a very active scene. i don't know if you can see that property. you can see those fire trucks there. this was a home that you showed a couple minutes ago with those flames off of the freeway. at one point last night not only were they battling this fire but they were also battling -- working to prevent the fire from jumping the highway. a fire line was drawn to prevent that fire from jumping across 29 and throughout napa county. folks are seeing the impact. fire on the side of the road burned homes throughout the area. just a couple miles down the road a family in st. helena who recently lost their homes to the glass fire spoke about what this journey has been like for them. take a listen to their reaction on the out-of-control flames.

>> the way this fire was, it was pretty much, you know, undefendable. nothing that would have saved it. >> we've made a lot of memories together, so we still have that. >> reporter: and i was just told a few minutes before this that the public information officer will be providing an update specifically on this home so when we get that information we'll be sure to relay it to you. back out here just really a rough week for everyone involved not only those homeowners but also the firefighters, many who aren't from the area working day in and day out to keep everyone here safe. so just a long week withf conta very low percentage. live in calistoga, cierra johnson for "today in the bay." >> thank you, cierra. we'll continue to watch the conditions there. i'm watching the weather conditions around the glass fire

as we've seen a cooler morning and not much of a wind valleys, but as you go up in elevat expecting some of the higher winds and where the red flag warning continues. it's going to heat up again today and the winds will increase as we go into the afternoon as our temperatures will reach back into the 90s today and the humidity will be going down. looking at the wind direction a northwesterly wind will keep the smoke moving into the bay area especially for the east bay but we're expecting those winds to increase today which could fan the flames and possibly make them shift in different directions and be a little bit more unpredictable through at least early tomorrow morning. we're watching that. mike, you're watching the roads. how is it looking for the commute? kari, i'll show folks what i was watching. the live look. i saw flashing lights heading north going away from us, away from sausalito side. things in the last five minutes have completely cleared up.

we couldn't even see across the span. that smaller vehicle is a service vehicle off the main roadway. as we look at the map we'll see the golden gate bridge. on the right slowing across the bay bridge and still slow. there's a slight build. slight lowering across the span. the rest of the bay shows a smooth flow. typical pattern but friday light. back to you. decision 2020 are you ready to vote? ballots will soon be on their way. up next san francisco's massive plan to make sure your vote is counted. and the markets have now down.opened for just a bit. at g it's been hovering down about 200 points so far this morning. the markets reacting to president trump and the first

lady testing positive for covid-19. we'll dive into that deeper with scott mcgrew.
