license from facilities housing minors. more than 4,200 migrant children are caught in the crossfire. right now as we approach 6:00, we continue to follow breaking news. a 3.6 earthquake rattling the south bay. centered in san jose's alum rock neighborhood northeast of downtown. >> this morning a lot of you are calling in and reporting what you felt. "today in the bay" has a live team coverage as the third hour of "today in the bay" continues right now. thank you for joining us. i'm laura garcia. >> and i'm cierra johnson. marcus washington is off this morning. back over to vianey arana with more on that breaking news. i do want to show you perspective of how the shaking intensity was felt and the location of the 3.6 earthquake. so it happened near the calaveras fault and this red dot that you see here pinging with a is where the quake itself

happened. down through the south bay near 101, san jose. the blue pings are where it was felt within the weak to light category which makes sense for a 3.6 as far as intensity goes. the green, yellow, orange and red would be a much more felt shaking intensity as far as that area. i wanted to take a look at the lakes and creeks nearby. isabel and flint creek are all here near this area. down further to central california. over to kris who is in san jose to talk about who felt it down there. >> reporter: we were over by san pedro square and nobody there felt it. one woman says she was driving at the time. we moved over to the alameda,

not far from the shark tank and folks up early generally don't want to talk too early. nobody said that they felt it at this point. i did feel it. i was sitting in my car and parked and working on my scripts. i thought somebody drove too close and put off some wind and rocked the car a little bit. my photographer, though, did not feel it. he was in the live truck behind me. the bigger quakes, 6.0 and above quakes. let's talk about some safety tips. if you find yourself in an earthquake more massive than this one, damaging earthquake, get away from windows and light fixtures. get under a table if you can. we heard get into a door frame.

now we say cover your head, get under a table if possible, and steer clear of buildings. if you are outside you will want to try to get away from any building that might fall down or sometimes the facades come off. stay away from power lines. if you see them down assume they are live. call pg&e to make sure they are aware that power line is down.g. we've shown our kids. you don't want gas going if there's a possibility that a fire could happen. it could be a fire. let's talk about being earthquake ready. make sure there's a go bag, a little bit of cash, some documents, copies, clothing, chargers, the way you will communicate and likely your cell

phone, and these are things if you have five seconds to leave your house this is what you're going to grab. if you are home, we should be able to depend on no one else. that kit is different. make sure you have enough water and nonperishable food for five to seven days, a flashlight, a radio. that is how you might get your information if you cannot access the internet. and cash is good in small bills because in an earthquake, even if it's not a huge one but it's big enough to kind of cause a power outage, you won't be able to use your debit card, which we've gotten so used to. apple pay will not do you any good if there's no power. make sure you have some money, small bills especially so you don't have to pay for something with a large bill and then the storefront can't make any change. >> these are all really good reminders. sometimes it takes a little jolt to remind us to be prepared for

the big one. >> oh, yeah, i should be ready. >> exactly. we've been so focused on the pandemic. focus on the go bags. >> reporter: one of the things that came to mind, living in a pandemic trying not to go out to the stores if it wasn't necessary. we drank some of that water, we ate some of those snacks. it might be time to replenish and make sure if you took anything out that you put it back in and rotate your stocks. the kids will be happy to go snack shopping. >> check the expiration date. very important. >> definitely a good reminder this morning. >> i had some really old ones. thanks so much, kris. if you're just joining us right now, 6:05. at 5:15 this morning there was an earthquake, 3.6, in the alum rock neighborhood. no reports of damage.

3.6 magnitude. we live in earthquake territory as we're talking about. what do you do if there are concerns? what do you do if your gas is leaking? of course you evacuate, call 911, pg&e immediately. here is the number for you 800-743-5000. >> aftershocks can continue for weeks or even months. shallow quakes more likely to produce aftershocks. >> people telling us where they felt it. i sent out a tweet this morning, thanks to everyone for their response. not surprisingly most of you in san jose woke up to this little shaker along the alum walk area. that extends over to san jose

and silver creek. reports of people as far away as sunnyvale, gilroy, santa cruz also feeling it a little bit as well. someone replied to me from right there in san jose state, a google shake alert about five seconds before they felt or even heard it as well. it will helpful to them. as i mentioned before, no reports of damage or injuries. just maybe a little bit of a shock to the system when you wake up to a little rocking and rolling in the morning. our studios are off first street. we didn't feel it here. >> someone who did feel it, karen smith in san jose. we spoke with her a little bit after it happened. karen, can you hear us? >> yes.

>> thank you for taking the time out to speak with us. what was your initial reaction? >> i really was kind of, wait, what's happening? i jerked awake and i live on a busy street and i wanted to make sure it wasn't a big truck rolling by but it was more than just the windows rattling. it was over in a couple of quick seconds. i paused, is it going to be bigger quake coming up? but nothing has happened since then that i felt. >> did you see any of your plants, chandeliers or any movement within your home? >> no, i haven't seen anything that's been knocked over or moved in any way. >> that's good to hear. it was initially 4.1 but downgraded. good to know no reports of damage or anything. >> exactly. we're monitoring everything

else. thanks, karen. be well out there and be prepared. and that really goes out for the entire bay area. i know whenever i feel a quake, even a moderate one, my first concern, and maybe it's the journalist behind me is could it be an even larger one somewhere else and i'm just not feeling it as much? so we always send out push alerts right after earthquakes, big ones here in the bay area. download our nbc bay area app and it will give you the most recent information about where it happened, when it happened, and where it is so that you can kind of get engaged. i know, for example, in the big earthquake that happened i was in the east bay. the aftereffects, if you're in the epicenter in san francisco, for example, you're in the marina, you're going to feel it a lot more than obviously some of the outskirts, outlying areas. keeping tabs on everything going on. quite an exciting morning for

people waking up in that sense but no aftershocks reported so far. it is 6:09 right now. now to our road to recovery as we're counting down the days until june 15th. progress is being made on the vaccine rollout. over 51% of adults are fully vaccinated. here in california just over 41% are fully vaccinated. and new this morning thousands of covid vaccine doses wasted with one bay area county exceeding every other in the state. the sacramento bee reports over 7,000 dose have is been wasted. most were spoiled pfizer shots which had to be kept at extremely cold temperatures and quickly used once they were thawed. contra costa county about half of that. and as fire season approaches state senators have approved new legislation to prevent

wildfires. napa valley state senator bill dodd authored two bills, one would create new wildlife technology, research and development office to test and study new fire protection technologies. another bill would offset liability for controlled burns especially those that get out of hand. the idea is to have more prescribed burns to lower the risk. both bills move to the state assembly. 6:11 right now. i want to check weather and traffic together. first vna is in for kari this morning. she not only has a look at our forecast for today but we've been looking at these fault lines that we're concerned about this morning we have a ton here in the bay area. in addition to the san andreas fault we have the hayward fault and the calaveras fault which is near where this quake happened. this gives you an idea of the location. shaking intensity was felt between weak and light with the purple and the blue colors there and usgs is reporting this as a depth of six kilometers. it was a shallow quake.

to give you an idea as far as quakes go, a shallow quake is typically anywhere from zero miles to 44 and moderate is down to about 188. a seismologist said most tend to happen at the 10 kilometer. this one reported at 6 kilometers. that gives you an idea how this quake was felt and throughout portions of the south bay for sure. mike, how are the roads? we have the breaking news but it's not anything related to the quake, first of all, and no delays or problems reported by any of our rail agencies. i' ramp continues to be closed from southbound 880 through hayward and union city. quicker recovery than i thought. the earlier crash cleared from the lanes there. a much better drive and the bay bridge toll plaza showed a

backup just before 6:00 got pretty significant and then eased up. there may have been a small incident that wasn't reported. we now have your standard build here at 6:12. we'll check back with you. 6:13. summer is here. planning a trip overseas anytime soon? still ahead on "today in the bay" at 6:25 the new item you'll need to pack in your bag if you plan to head to europe. if you're planning to go back to work washington would be very happy about that. there are openings but not a lot of people filling them. the dow slipping about 160 points after four updays in a row. plus -- ♪♪ history on display. princess diana's wedding dress in public for the first time in decades. we'll tell you where you can go to see it on display.

welcome back, everyone. we continue to follow breaking news on this thursday morning. did you feel it? that could be the big question of the day, a 3.6 magnitude earthquake hit at about 5:15 this morning centered in the alum rock foothills of east san jose. we're getting reports of mostly people from the san jose area, different enclaves there, santa teresa, willow glen, along

monterey highway as well as reports of people in sunnyvale, gilroy, even santa cruz feeling it this morning. no reports of damage or injuries so far but we continue to follow this and, of course, any possible aftershocks as well. this is a look at the seismograph that went off in the newsroom this morning at 5:15. well, good morning, a very happy thursday to you. the number of americans filing for first-time jobless claims continues to fall. that data just came into our newsroom and that's great news. fewer people are losing their jobs. but americans seal to be slow at finding new jobs even though there are openings. getting people back to work is perhaps harder than washington expected. not necessarily because they like the unemployment pay, though that could be part of it. could be a lack of child care or fear. the beige book our top economists raised some concern

about high prices but lagging employment. speaking of the western region, so our economic report card, the fed says employment growth was moderate. that employers are raising wages to attract workers. office leasing is weak. home sales strong. more on how to fill those openings as we talk politics in about 30 minutes. apple says it'll start asking employees to come in three days a week. mondays, tuesdays, thursdays. tesla has filed paperwork to use its tesla logo on a restaurant or diner. the charging stations look like a restaurant already. something for poem to do while they wait.

wedding dress after it. i'm sure a lot of people did in that time. it's 6:19. i want to check in with mike inouye. there was a garbage truck overturned. >> we're in the third hour now for this closure because of the spill and the garbage and oil and possi fire trucks were still there because of the fuel on sce blocking the on and off ramps. this video came from about 3:15 when this happened. it's still there but 880 itself is fine. is that slowing for concord. over to you, vianey. before i get to the drought

monitor and all of that, the reminder usgs did report a 3.6 earthquake near the calaveras fault in the alum rock area. this is the shaking intensity map showing weak to light. last year i got to meet with a seismologist to ask viewer questions. one of the most asked questions was can my pet predict an earthquake? no, they can't predict it but they have a higher sensitivity to sound and feelings. so once your pet starts barking, i'm a dog mom, the earthquake is already happening. they get the sense and feeling sooner than we do. now the drought monitor did reveal as of this morning just updated that 26% of california, the majority of this is now under an exceptional drought which is the worst category for officially 100% of california is abnormally dry. over 76% of california is under that extreme drought.

not looking good in terms of any rain in sight. we had a serious deficit when it came to the rainfall year. what can we expect the next seven days? our temperatures will remain in the 80s for today so expect daytime highs in the 80s in inland areas, cooler around the coast. plenty of sunshine heading to the weekend and we settle into quite a lovely pattern. over to you. >> nice, thanks, vianey. next, nbc bay area responds. >> reporter: a hotel expected one of our viewers to pay for his stay even though his door wouldn't lock. i'm consumer investigator chris chmura. perhaps we have the key to a refund when nbc bay area responds next.

>> reporter: good morning. michael gardner sent us this photo showing how he resorted to using a chair to lock his hotel door just like the movies. he said the hotel couldn't fix the lock and didn't have any other open rooms. luckily his visit was only one night. he stayed and expected the hotel to comp him for the hassle, but that didn't happen. he contacted american express, the folks who booked him in that hotel. he expected amex to give him a full refund. so he asked us to take a look. we did. we contacted american express and shared his photo. michael says american express called twice, contacted the

hotel and worked out a deal. michael got back his full $297.07. he wrote us a very nice note and said i sincerely appreciate it. you are a star with 11 exclamation points. we asked amex for details. a spokesperson said we can't comment on anything related to a specific card member. if you need help with a consumer problem let us know. go to nbcbayarea.com and then click the responds option from the main menu or call us 888-996-tips. are you planning an international summer getaway? if so the european union is now launching a new covid-19 travel certificate available for international travelers including those from the u.s. the eu will certificates to show proof of vaccination or negative test result. it can be stored digitally. 6:26 right now. up next on "today in the bay," the top stories we're following including this breaking news.

at 6:30 breaking news. an earthquake rattling the south bay. at 5:15 this morning, san jose's alum rock neighborhood northeast of downtown. >> a lot you are calling in and reporting you did, in fact, feel it. "today in the bay" has live team coverage. marcus washington is off this morning. let's get over to vianey arana with more on the breaking news. good morning. good morning. i want to start out in terms of a map. you can see the location. this one happened on the calaveras fault.

for those of you new to the bay area we actually have six significant fault zones in the bay area alone. that's the san andreas fault, the calaveras fault, the concord fault. these are active. the shaking intensity, those red lines are just to give you a visual representation of where the fault lies. they don't actually run in straight lines like this. they are much more complex. the active faults low located in the bay area not just the san andreas fault. the last largest earthquake was october 30th of 2007 near the same area where we just saw this morning alum rock. a magnitude 5.6. close to that, this one happened in morgan hill. magnitude 6.2. thankfully zero deaths but injuries and minor damage to buildings. now we'll send things over to kris sanchez who is in san jose

to tell our viewers who felt it i believe, right? >> reporter: yes. so we talked to a lot of people who said they slept right through it and that's a good thing because it was small. we did talk to a number of people who did feel it, and here is what they had to say. >> well, it woke me up. it was just a shake and then i didn't know what it was. i didn't know if something fell in the house. there was a second shake, okay, that was definitely an earthquake. >> everything moved. a little bit scary. >> reporter: she was working in the kitchen. she said she felt some of those dishes in the kitchen moving around. a reminder she did step back and knew what to do in that situation. and that's what we want to you do. we want to make sure you know what to do in that particular situation in case you're unfamiliar, you want to stay away from windows and light fixtures. duck and cover your head.

if you can't get under a table, make sure you cover your head. and the old thing about getting into a door frame is no longer advised. do cover your head and get under a table or something like that. if you are outside steer clear of buildings. a lot of our buildings in san francisco, some of our historic areas have facades that can crumble easily. you'll want to stay away from buildings and stay away from power lines. don't try to move them. call pg&e so they are aware where they are. as you're at home make sure you know where your gas shutoff is because that could be a potentially dangerous situation. we also have to be ready to go, right. if you have about five seconds, ten seconds to get out of your house, make sure your go bag is packed, that you have some cash in there, your important documents or copies of them, clothing, chargers and any medication that you might need. you also need to be prepared to stay home and take care of yourself for five to seven days because if you are not hurt,

emergency responders need to address people who might be in a more serious compromised situation. in your home kit make sure you have enough water and nonperishable foods for five to seven days, a flashlight, extra batteries, a radio as well because you may not have wi-fi and you may not be able to watch on television. of course we do all of this news on our app and on nbcbayarea.com so you can access it even if you don't have access to your television. i also felt it this morning. working on my scripts for the 6:00 hour felt a slight rocking. i found out the way you might have found out, i got an alert on my phone because i do have the nbc bay area app so it confirmed my suspicion. >> we send out an app to connect

viewers to find out where you felt it, if you felt it at all. a lot of people just slept through it as well. 3.6. what a way to wake up. no damage or injuries so far this morning. everybody is talking about it. that will probably be the question of the day so far. of course we know people in the east san jose foothills sent it but along the evergreen country club area. of course all in south san jose along the range, willow glen. reports of people feeling it in sunnyvale, gilroy and santa cruz. >> we sent out a push alert right after that earthquake struck down our nbc bay area app to get the breaking news alert right to your smartphone.

>> a lot of people are wondering if you can opt out of wearing your mask in the work place. state leaders are asking that same question. bob redell is live with a decision. >> reporter: good morning to you, laura. at issue should people who work indoors and businesses like the ones behind me, should they be required to wear their mask inside at work after the state reopens on june 15th regardless of their vaccination status. cal osha will decide whether or not to extend the indoor mask mandate for employees past june 15th, the date the state is supposed to reopen and the date most of us can take off our masks in most situations. it would require workers to continue to mask up indoors at their job unless the business can document that all employees have been fully vaccinated.

a restaurant owner in walnut creek. >> i don't know how businesses feel but for a customer i feel good seeing everyone masked. >> reporter: cal osha will have a special meeting at 10:00. bob redell, "today in the bay." >> bob, wasn't cal osha supposed to have decided on this last month? >> correct, laura. kris sanchez reported on this late may but there was some concerns about some of the language in the proposal. this issue got pushed back. >> sounds good. we'll have more midday as well. thank you, bob. a follow-up in the north bay, the town of windsor has a new mayor. they selected longtime councilmember and vice mayor sam salmon to fill the seat vacated

it really is and every single thursday we get the latest drought monitor update and, of course, we haven't seen any rain. it's only expected to get worse. 26% of the state of california continues to fall. the worst category when it comes to the drought. 100% of california is abnormally dry. upper 60s for santa cruz. >> the bay bridge because it has the backup there. we started early. it's now simmered down to your typical slow down. the berkeley curve moving smoothly as well. an earlier crash cleared, recovering san pablo down through richmond. the rest of the bay a standard thursday flow of traffic. we're looking, though, as laura talked about the closures in fremont. on and off ramps closed.

we continue to follow breaking news on this thursday morning. an earthquake centered in the foothills near alum rock at about 5:15 this morning. the usgs shake map shows how far and wide potentially people are able to feel this. 5:15 in the morning a lot of people slept through it. some are telling us the jolt certainly woke them up this morning. no reports of damage or injury so far this morning, but we know people as far south as salinas reportedly feeling this. 6:43 right now. we want to check in with vianey

arana in for kari this morning. she has a look at our forecast and we have nice temperatures. we have and we'll continue on this nice weather trend for the next several days. in san francisco we're seeing a lot more fog but you might have noticed that we haven't been starting out cold and it's been quick to warm up. if we do have any low clouds sunshine for inland areas. mike? looking at the continuing closure on and off ramps on an overturned truck and spill. it's not a major concern for the freeway itself. folks are driving through, slow driving here. you drive from pittsburg to walnut creek via concord and highway 4. new this morning a santa clara man is facing charges after officials say he tried to join isis. elvin williams was arrested at seatac airport as he tried to join an innational flight on his way to the middle east. members of his seattle mosque

alerpted the fbi williams was talking to isis and sworn oath of allegiance to the group. if he could not travel he would not act on behalf of the terror group. the president and first lady will meet with queen elizabeth. scott mcgrew, they'll head to england later this month. >> not this weekend but the next one. the clock is running on biden's infrastructure bill. the president met with the top republican negotiator, west virginia senator shelly moore capito. they're apart on costs. the president wants to spend more than a trillion. both are far less than former president trump's proposed infrastructure plan which was north of 3 trillion. yesterday biden and capito met, if biden couldn't pull capito higher i predicted democrats might choose to go it alone

abandoning biden's desire to keep things bipartisan. i didn't count on a third solution. they agreed to meet again tomorrow. another challenge for washington getting people back to work. the jobs are out there but some americans are staying away. among the solutions dropping the extra unemployment payments early even paying companies or employees if they take a new job, a sign-on bonus. we got word only 385,000 americans were laid off last week. that is a small number. we get the big jobs report tomorrow. we're talking about jobs on twitter. you can follow me there @scottmcgrew. all right. well, a united front from bay area health officers. we are expecting the group to share more about in-person learning plans for the fall. "today in the bay's" sharon katsuda is live in san francisco where this has been especially controversial. >> reporter: the news conference is expected to take place in the

city where the school district is accused of not doing enough to get students back in school over the past several months. now bay area health officers say the risk of covid transmission in schools has proven to be low when children wear masks and more are vaccinated now. 12 bay area health officers from counties such as san francisco, contra costa, marin, san mateo and santa clara ruling out deep support for full in-person learning this fall. the group says distance learning has negatively impacted mental health and disrupted education. meantime the san francisco school board district faces a lawsuit for not doing enough to bring more back on campus this past spring while taking state money to reopen schools. "the chronicle" reports the district is seeing a big drop in student enrollment and says more than 1,700 students left the city's public schools the past year and numbers drop even more this fall the district could face an estimated $20 million loss in state funding. so far the number of students

registered for kindergarten is down 374 children. a 10% decline last year and "the chronicle" says the district saw a 55% decline in kindergarten applications from white families. they are not sure what caused the decline but many are tired of waiting for students to be brought back in person so went to private schools. reporting live in san francisco, i'm sharon katsuda, "today in the bay." >> thanks so much, sharon. 6:48. take a look at this new video in to our newsroom showing a mountain lion prowling around a millbrae neighborhood. it was captured in early march. the man tells us he spotted it about once a month ever since. wildlife officials say one reason there are more sightings these days is more people have surveillance cameras and fires are forcing the mountain lions

to move around more looking for food and water. well, at 6:48 thursday morning, i know a lot of folks already looking towards the weekend. vianey, it's been great this week. what can we expect this weekend? a nice little stretch, i might add. the temperatures right now 40s and 50s and 70s. up through clear lake, it's not even 70 yet. check out your microclimate highs. we cooled off a bit. warm at 86 degrees. 69 degrees for oakland. a little bit of the breeze about 15 miles per hour. antioch warm through the interior valley. you will feel the heat more or less. san mateo, 70 degrees. in the city we have mid-60s throughout san francisco. definitely windy out there right

now. winds from the west about 21 miles per hour. so san francisco, of course, known for its breeze, winds and summer fog. the north bay, definitely going to see upper 90s. up through ukiah and clear lake a closer look at what to expect for the majority, keep sunshine and we have some things to look forward to. in my version it would be rain. in everyone else's version and also, i hope for most, cool, comfortable 70s. if you're from california this is what we like. this is comfortable. this is where it's at. sunshine very california-like. san francisco will remain in the 60s, warming up by saturday and into sunday. a great stretch of weather ahead. mike? we still, unfortunately, have the overturned truck, the garbage and the fluid, oil or fuel, down here. the video we have from earlier this morning, this happened at 3:15, shows you what they had to deal with as far as the cleanup and as an investigation for someone leaving the scene. we still have that going on.

everything else looks very smooth and, in fact, lighter than a typical thursday. 880 the on and off ramps from and to warren are closed right now. use fremont boulevard to access on or off of 880 southbound. you can use fremont boulevard north or south to get to the access points. back to you. happening now, the u.s. women's open begins today at the olympic club in san francisco. it will feature many golfers from the bay area with ties to the bay area including 2014 u.s. channel am michelle wie west. this is the first time the olympic club is hosting the u.s. women's open. you can watch it on peacock today and tomorrow and the final two rounds on nbc bay area. a quick look at our top stories including shaking in the south bay. did you feel that earthquake? we'll tell you where it hit and the response we're getting from viewers who felt it. plus, is it a good time to take off the for good? or will you have to

this morning some of you called in to our fuse room to say you felt it. some people as far as salinas felt it. san jose fire says so far no reports of damage or injury calls. kris sanchez was in san jose and felt it. some of the people she talked to also felt it. kris? >> reporter: yes, i just felt a gentle rocking of the car as if somebody drove by a little too fast or a little too close, but nothing much more than that. i talked to a lot of folks who slept right through a on others who said they definitely felt it. >> it was a shake. i didn't know if something felt in the house. >> i see everything move. a little bit the can i haven on the alameda so she knew what to do. she stepped out of the kitchen

and to safety. stay away from windows, light fixtures, anything that could fall on you. if you're outside stay clear of any buildings, get farther away in case anything comes off the buildings. if you see power lines down, assume they are live. call pg&e and don't touch them for sure. if you are at home make sure you know where your gas shutoff is in case you need to turn it off for the future. this one was not that bad but it is always a good reminder to check your go bag and have that ready to go and your earthquake kit at home. if you're like us you may be dipped into it in our year of pandemic living. >> also good advice to get that nbc bay area app, because if you're not able to see us on air, can you live stream us as well and we're learning on top of anything that happens and we tweet out the very latest info. >> definitely good advice there. >> reporter: and that's how i got my confirmation. i got it on my phone. >> there you go.

thanks so much, kris. 6:56 right now. with the state poised to reopen in just 12 days now there's a big question looming. what about all the masks we're wearing, will they still be required where you work? state health and safety leaders are asking the same thing. bob redell, we may finally get some answers. >> reporter: cal osha will decide in a special meeting at 10:00 this morning. good morning to you, laura. when june 15th arrives, most of us, assuming you're vaccinated, will be april loud to take off your mask. the issue cal osha, what about employees who work inside in downtown pleasanton or any other business throughout the state, will they be allowed to take off their miss being? the proposal cal osha is considering those employees after june 15th, if they work inside, must still keep their mask on unless their employer is able to document all have been vaccinated. it's an issue we will decide at

10:00 at a special meeting, something they were to decide late last month but concerns about the language and the proposal they wanted to redo that, and that's why it's been pushed back to today. reporting live, bob redell, "today in the bay." >> thanks, bob. vianey, we're following a couple big stories, one of them the drought and the other the earthquake from this morning. >> a great reminder for those who are or aren't from the bay area that we've got pretty significant falls. this happened along the calaveras fault. right through the alum rock area, shaking between weak and light which makes sense for that 3.6 by the usgs. to your drought monitor, things have got gotten better. 26% of california the majority of that being northern california, santa rosa, napa, oakland, fairfield, concord, the livermore area remains under the exceptional category, that d4

category. we could see water shortages, restrictions and things of that nature that could begin to impact us on a larger scale. now the remainder of the bay area still in the red, extreme drought, just a lighter color. unfortunately, we have no rain in the forecast and the drought monitor does showcase the dangers behind not just the lack of water but fire season. mike? we have that overturned truck we were showing you earlier still blocking the on and off ramps to southbound 880 at warren boulevard. so you can't use that right now. chp, no update really since this happened at 3:15. fremont boulevard or dixon landing road are your options to or from the freeway and still open. you can get to the starbucks there. much more slowing through union city and that's pretty standard for the nimitz. >> and key tips how to get to the coffee, all important. if the coffee didn't wake you up, maybe the earthquake in the south bay about 5:15 at 3.6

rattled the alum rock hills neighborhood. a lot of people in south san jose certainly felt it especially downtown san jose as well. we leave you with a beautiful live look outside. that's going to do it for us. >> the "today" show starts right now. good morning, cyberwarfare. attacks on u.s. businesses and agencies growing in size and frequency. meat processing plants, gas pipelines, hospital, and now subway and ferry systems all recently targeted. so what if anything can be done to stop them? we're live with the very latest. >> upping the ante, a major new push being rolled out to get at least 70% of americans vaccinated before the 4th of july. >> we're announcing a month-long effort to pull all the stops, all the stops to free ourselves from this virus.
