years. in 2012, one year after the naval lieutenant lost his sight in an explosion in afghanistan, he won two swimming golds and a silver in london, three more golds and another silver followed in rio. always seeking a new challenge, in 2018 snyder transitioned from swimming to para-triathalon. he came to tokyo though as an underdog but with high hopes of reaching the podium. snyder competed with greg billington as his guide. in para-triathalon, guides are tethered to competitors and ride in tandem with them on the bike. leading on the run with spain closing in fast, snyder ran and crossed the finish line first and captured paralympic gold

once more. >> from the pool to the triathalon, snyder, golden for the third straight games >> the 37-year-old has said many times over the years it is not about the gold now he has six of them it does not seem to be interested in slowing down any time soon. >> i like taking on challenges i like learning new things i like pushing myself. triathalon gave me that in spades >> the world watch, brad snyder, abbas karimi and others over the first week of the tokyo paralympic hard to imagine better stories unfolding anywhere else. the aussies have won gold in rio. >> it was disappointing to come away and lose. now it served as a launching pad to hopefully get on top of the

podium in tokyo. >> it is okay not to be okay it is okay not to be normal. there is always the stereotype of how a person has to be. so yeah, i like proving people wrong. >> i feel like i was given this life to inspire the next girl or boy going through all of this. when i see maya, i see myself. ♪ ♪ on nbc bay area news, things changing by the minute. the caldor fire raging tonight, forcing evacuations and right now a popular resort is surrounded by flames. a live update by calfire moments away. also ida making landfall

leaving new orleans in the dark, flooding communities, even ripping the roof off a hospital. how bay area teams are helping. back on track. light rail service resumes in the south bay as the vta tries moving back from a devastating frack of their own. thank you for joining us on bay area news. i'm terry mcsweeney. people near the caldor fire are told to leave now. it started as a small spot fire, quickly spread jumping the road. this happened again and again along 50 and other roads, and a terrifying sight here. take a look at this. take it from a wildfire camera in the last 30 minutes. you can see the flames have surrounded the sierra at tahoe ski resort. that's the twin bridges. the fire has now grown to

168,000 acres, close to 500 homes destroyed, 20,000 threatened. containment actually dropped tonight from 19% down to 13%. now a live look at the flames. this is west of kirkwood in the leak springs area, fire everywhere. that shot just north of highway 88. joining us now by phone, battalion chief isaac sanchez from calfire. thank you very much for being with us tonight. can you hear me? >> absolutely. thank you for having us. >> what can you tell us about the conditions in the tahoe region right now? what is causing this fire to explode like this? >> it's the extreme environment fires are burning under everywhere. the fuel is receptive and ready to burn, but one of the huge aspects is what we're dealing with right now on the caldor fire which are spot fires. spot fir troublesome because they can jump out three-quarters of a mile ahead of the main fire and quickly

establish themselves in that receptive fuel bed. >> a lot of people in the bay area go up to tahoe all the time, summer, winter, it's a year-round place to go. where is this fire headed next? it looks like the city of lake tahoe is in its path. >> absolutely, and that is obviously a troublesome prospect on this incident, and it's one that we have to be prepared for, it's one that is addressing contingency planning. we try to project out where the fire is going so we can develop reasonable plans. of course, establish those valuable evacuation orders in order zones in order to get the public out and to a safe location prior to the fire ever approaching a community. >> you talk about trying to plan ahead. i have seen that the time for containment has been pushed back to september 8th. how confident are you that september 8th would be the time for full containment on this fire which, as i look at these

pictures here, it's just amazing to think about. >> sure. it's an estimate. that's exactly what it is, it's an estimate, it's our best guess if things go well going forward, but we have to plan for the worst. we have to have contingency plans in place for that not to be the case, and the public needs to recognize that because fires are so dynamic and because fires are growing so exponentially moment to moment and day to day that that -- september 8 is a best guesstimate at this point. it's one we're going to shoot for. but be prepared that this could potentially go longer. >> battalion chief isaac sanchez, thank you for explaining what's going on up there. we appreciate it. looking at those pictures, the smoke is going up. what can we expect this week? >> it's a change of wind with

the caldor fire. you notice the smoke is moving to the east which helps our air quality. you heard chief sanchez mention the spot fire problem. we had these pyrocumulus nimbus clouds. the fire picks up this ash. this isn't rain from a thunderstorm, that's ash and embers from this particular fire being sent downwind, so suddenly you could get a tremendous number of spot fires once these columns start to develop during the day and keep that activity ongoing making you fight multiple fires along highway 50. the problem with the tahoe area is the wind. it's going to help us with the bay area, it's going to help us with our smoke, but look how the fires react in this futurecast to the increase in wind, increasing fire activity and a red flag warning on top of the caldor fire and dixie fire zones starting up tomorrow afternoon all the way into tuesday night. we saw extreme fire behavior today. we're likely to see more of it

as the winds give it a push off toward the east in the next 24 to 36 hours. for the bay area, we have that smoke advisory through monday for the north bay hills generally for the morning, but we should see improving conditions and cooler changes ahead in our forecast. a closer look at that coming up in about 15 minutes. >> rob, thanks a lot. now to one of the strongest storms ever to hit the united states. we're talking about ida. a live look at the hurricane's path across louisiana. ida struck land as a category 4 storm. winds more than 150 miles per hour, some serious damage in new orleans, damage such as this. the roof of this hospital ripped off by the wind. this is the lady of the sea general hospital in galliana, about 30 miles north of the coast where ida made landfall. we know this eye of the storm is deadly. ascension parish south of baton

counseling that they needed to be able to feel safe and confident to do their jobs. >> reporter: the service resumed just in time to bring football fans to levi stadium to watch the san francisco 49ers play the las vegas raiders. more than 60,000 attended the game and an estimated 15% usually rely on light rail. fans we talked with welcomed the return of convenient transportation. >> it takes us to the great mall and all the way back. >> they say taking light rail also saved them $40 because they didn't need to pay for uber or lyft. >> light rail just makes it easier, convenient. >> reporter: as they head home basking in the 49ers victory, the late rail service is helping them back to normal. mary ann favro, nbc bay area

the mural's meaning. >> this mural has been made to inform an uneducated community about the acts of violence against asians. >> reporter: and effort by family was support from others. it is something many see as a symbol. >> we're talking about what we could do, and i was like, we should make -- put him on the billboard. it was inspired by the original art. >> reporter: the mayor addressed the crowd, too. >> this mural will be a testament to his legacy. it will be a testament to the strength of resolve of this city and how we came together despite a tragedy to demonstrate that we are in this together. we will fight against violence, against anyone in this city. >> reporter: police did make an arrest in the case. the mural is on a busy corner with cable cars going by. many say it's unifying and timely.

cantonese. i live in chinatown, i use it with my neighbors, i used it at a covid-19 vaccination clinic, and i know a lot of other students use cantonese in their communities. >> it's unclear if ccsf will continue to offer those classes in the future. that school and stanford are one of 20 colleges in the country to still offer cantonese. all graduates should be proud of reaching their goals upon getting their diploma, but there is one recent grad who really stood out today. >> jeffrey bobby paylor. >> yes, robert paylor, what some said he couldn't do but he always said he would do. he became paralyzed while playing rugby at cal.

burning between l.a. and san diego. it's not so much the fire, it's this fire whirl. it happens when intense heat from a wildfire rises quickly and wind races in on all sides and that's what you get. the fire, by the way, that's burning down there is called the chapparal fire in riverside counties. it's just 10% contained but that is phenomenal. rob watches these things. rob? >> it's the hot air intensity being generated by the fire which calls for that air to rise up and intensify in the center and create what's known as a fire whirl, different than a fire tornado which is a much longer and stronger structure, usually if the circulation extends much higher into the atmosphere into the actual plume or cloud itself above. these, though, still can generate a number of issues in terms of spotting for fires as these embers can shoot out as we

saw in the chapparal fire in california. still warm outside. at walnut creek, 76 degrees. 78 in livermore after a high of 99 degrees again. another hot finish to the day around the tri-valley. san jose currently at 69 degrees. we'll see patchy low clouds. speaking of patchy low clouds, the drizzle is back. we might have a travel advisory on the golden gate bridge tomorrow morning. wind speed and direction in solano county, so that's good news in terms of air quality. we'll see more low clouds in the bay area in the morning and more low clouds in a couple of mornings. the tri-valley in concord will

still see some wind gusts. san jose 85 degrees. back into the 60s for san francisco, 73 degrees in oakland and north bay temperatures a lot more comfortable. those numbers in the low to mid-80s. moderates tomorrow technically is an air quality advisory due to wildfire smoke. it will be in the inland east bay hills and into the north bay. but watch the effect of a normal sea breeze. we see the blue on the map here, and by the time we get to tuesday, there is a big change. lake county and maybe northern napa county might see smoke at times, but for most of the bay area the clouds clear out thanks to the wind. but the wind over the sierra will be a big problem over the next two days.caldor fire as those fires get pushed off to the east. look at the inland numbers on

tuesday. mid-80s around livermore, low 80s otherwise. i think you'll notice the skies turning a bit more blue wednesday and thursday. in san francisco you have the drizzle and mist back in the forecast. valley temperatures once we get to tuesday should stay in the 80s and then perhaps some 90s as we head towards next weekend. if the smoke has really been an issue for many folks, i know it's been around the bay area for the last two or three days, relief in sight as we head to the middle of the week. still ahead, it was all the rage when the pandemic started. we are talking, of course, about zoom. some now wondering is the zoom boom doomed? the answer could come this week. stories next.

the sharks' arrival is connected to unusually warm waters attributed to climate change events. in particular the sharks prefer this stretch of socal cove between new brighton and seacliff state beaches. >> that area tends to be significantly warmer. >> reporter: the phenomenon even earned the area a new nickname. >> it's been officially dubbed the shark park. >> reporter: it didn't take long for some of the area's tour boat operators to realize these new marine visitors presented an opportunity. >> people started coming out on the whale watches almost specifically to see the sharks. >> reporter: so skipper megan peterson of stag whale watching started seeing them at shark park. from the deck of the velocity -- >> shark trouble to the left!

>> reporter: -- visitors get up close to a creature who is mysterious and misunderstood. >> what they are typically doing, these waters are swimming very slowly at the surface, and it's a very different side of a shark than people are used to. >> reporter: the sight of these young sharks is even impressive to a salty sea veteran like joe stagnaro whose family have worked these waters for decades. >> you can see the complete outline of these sharks. it's really amazing. >> reporter: scientists say these sharks are mostly feeding on fish and sunning themselves, not a threat to people. but in may of 2020, a juvenile white shark attacked and killed a surfer just outside shark park. stagnaro said the sharks had made their presence known. >> people are aware of it now, whereas three years ago, four years ago, five years ago, that beach, there would be 100 to 200 people playing in the water. >> reporter: but for the most part, --

>> i think it's super cool that they're in the water and all around us. >> it's nice to be around these animals. >> reporter: shark park has become a regular stop for other boats and tours, the newest big attraction in a place where surf is king. joe rosato jr., nbc bay area news. coming up, protecting against covid and smoke, n-95 masks can help. nbc investigator chris gamora breaks down where you need to wear it and care for it.

>> reporter: the president is still ignoring calls to extend the august 31st deadline to get americans and afghans who aided the u.s. during the 20-year war out of the country. >> it's going to be very difficult. we have very little leverage to extract additional americans or afghan allies from this landlocked country. >> reporter: republicans have blasted the president since the attack cost the soldiers their lives, blaming the administration for the lack of security outside the airport. >> people have died and people are going to die because president biden decided to rely on happy talk instead of reality. >> reporter: a u.s. airstrike targeted a vehicle with suicide bombers in kabul. but the situation remains extremely dangerous as the administration tries to figure out a way to get everybody out of the country. a service honoring one of

n-95 masks are many people's go-to choice. first you should ask your doctor if it's okay to use. if you get the green light there, make sure you wear your n-95 correctly. chris gamora shows us how and when it get a new one. >> reporter: an n-95 mask can filter out as much as 95% of ash, dust and soot, but only if you wear yours properly. in many ways the elastic bands are the most important part. they ensure a tight fit and seal the n-95 to your face. people who let it dangle are likely letting particles in. sorry, guys, beards and mustaches may have to go. you should be clean shaven where your n-95 touched your face, because facial hair gets in the way of a good seal. n-95s are considered disposable, but 3m says you can use them many times. how long is that? until they're dirty, damaged or difficult to breathe through.

the cdc has told health care workers five uses of an n-95 is the limit. but the cdc also say it may be possible to don them more than five times. so can you clean an n-95 mask? no. no attempts should be made to clean an n-95 mask. people try to clean them by putting them in the sun, putting them in the oven at a low temperature or spraying them with air freshener. the city did allow for decontamination, but only in a crisis strategy. 3m says it does not recommend decontaminating 3-ms. they said you should get more s. we wonder why

3m such as the component of the hat and nose stream made the grade, which can improve the quality of the seal. to make yours last as long as possible, they recommend storing it in original packaing where the air is clear and out of direct sunlight. >> good advice there. maybe the better news is if we don't have to use them very much in the next few days, rob? >> that would be good and we're seeing signs in that direction. cooler changes, more fog on the coast, hence a better air quality as well. we're headed around the bay area r as we get closer hour by hour. we'll come right back. as we get. we'll come right back.

every time nacho fries came back, that bold seasoning was drawing something closer. and once they taste that warm nacho cheese sauce... they won't stop till there's nothing left. taco bell's fry force. now serving at a taco bell near you. just a moment ago i was talking about cooler, cleaner air. it's not going to last forever. we have some heat even in the 10-day, right? >> we're watching that closely as we head towards this time next weekend. we're trying to get the heat and the bad air out. in the 10-day forecast we'll show you some of the changes

that could be a little farther down the road. right now 50s and 60s bayside. you're still seeing those temperatures inland in the tri-valley, mid to upper 70s. overall big changes in temperatures, especially around the north bay as the wind picked up around the south. we had a cooler day today, winds at 20 miles an hour in fairfield. that will bring cooler air, but look at the fog. you could have drizzle on your commute tomorrow morning and more of those patchy area clouds being pushed inland. 50s and 60s to start, and our highs tomorrow, at least we're getting away from those 100-degree temperatures. we're looking at mid-90s in the forecast around concord, and livermore, about 85 in san jose, 73 in oakland. a cooler 77 in san francisco and pretty pleasant 80s around the north bay tomorrow afternoon. with a look at air quality, the highest numbers we'll likely have will be in the morning hours, and as the sea breeze

progressively turns stronger, we get a mixing in the atmosphere by tuesday. that is a very big change, so we may actually get blue skies back in the bay area. it will be a nice change by the time we get to the middle part of the week. one area we might have to watch, lake county and napa county, a little bit of smoke trying to drop in from the north. the bay area looking a little better. what helps to clear out the bay area is the sea breeze. inland areas with wind could saws some big problems. that's to do with the fires that are ongoing and the fires still going in northwest california. you apply more wind to the fires, the activity ramps up and they usually produce a lot more smoke. for now that smoke will head off to the east to places like lake tahoe, but the increase in wind as of 2:00 tomorrow and tomorrow night including lake tahoe. dry conditions and droughts

parch wildfire fields. then by wednesday, upper 80s to low 80s, and we'll hold that probably until friday. you can see the next time we go on the roller coaster ride of warmer temperatures by the end of next weekend, the beginning of the following week that appears to be a trend that holds up in the tri-valley into the north bay, even to bayside locations like oakland could see those temperatures climbing back up. as we look at this both in terms of cooler temperatures and the potential for smoke to try to make a bit of a comeback, it might be late next weekend. you see the cooler temperatures in san francisco and the inland valleys. a lot more comfortable, better, cleaner air at least around the bay area starting tuesday and it should follow us through the end of the week, or at least a start next weekend. it may have only been a pre-season game but it was so

fun to see the niners and the raiders playing each other this afternoon like the old times. not the oakland raiders, the vegas raiders, whatever. since the first time going to vegas, they played the niners. a pretty good crowd. fans enjoyed seeing the two old rivals back on the field. >> it was great. huge turnouts. i felt like it was busy because of the bay area. all the fans for the raiders are here, the niners fans. >> it's like a battle of the bay but kind of like a reunion, i guess. >> i don't know, you were there. did it really have that feel of the raiders and the niners? i mean, when they were across the bay, it was a whole thing battling over the bay area. >> for the players? probably not. for the fans, yes. when i drove in there, i was surprised. i saw something i hadn't seen in a long time, traffic to get in

there. >> that part is nice heading back to normalcy. >> the tailgating scene was crazy. i thought, oh, it's jam-packed. it's going to be crowded in the stadium. i was in the field at pre-game and it looked empty. at half time i had to be back at the station, and then i noticed a crowd at the gates. everyone was coming in. they stated in the first two quarters that everybody came. >> they're out there eating and drinking, having a fine time, watching it on tv. >> they could watch it on tv, radios were going, they were dancing, laughing, having a good time. by the way, there was a pretty good football game on. >> there was a game today? >> it was only pre-season, but it was pretty entertaining. the 49ers showed up with a game plan of dueling quarterbacks. what did jim think about sharing

snaps? sports is next.

welcome back. i'm anthony flores. two is better than one, at least for now. the 49ers using two quarterbacks in their finale. taking on john gruder and the raiders. the silver bear back for the first time since leaving the raiders. they loved john there. the 49ers are alternating between jimmy g and corey lance. someone really needs to teach him how to dive in. 7-0 niners. 4 and long here. he connects with trent fairfield for the first down. same drive but now we're in the second quarter and it's cory lance, the qb. the 49ers beat the raiders

34-10. so how much of using this two-quarterback system are they going to do during the regular season, and what does jimmy g. think about sharing snaps? >> i've never been in that situation, but seeing firsthand here today, it's hard on them. whatever is best for the team, i'm here for it. >> i trust coach shanahan and i know jimmy does and our whole team and the locker room does. he's going to find a way to get the guys the ball and win games. >> we're pretty good with it as long as they can survive conferences. guys always have a tendtendencym sure, but i think our team will support us with whatever we do. the final of a three-game series. bottom of the 4, austin reilly has what most of us want. what is that? >> power. >> the giants trying to get something going top of the 6th with two on. the ump says, you win, he's out.

atlanta throws it open. that's a two-run triple right there, terry. they win 9-0. how about some good news for terry. the dodgers remain 2-0 after this road trip. >> we weren't able to complete the trip with our best play. i have a lot of belief in this club, and every time we go out on the field, i think we are going to win that day's baseball game. right now i'm a little not pleased with the way we played this one. at the coliseum the a's wrapped up their four-game series against the yankees. tony camp launches a laser to right. that's a 2-1 shot. the a's beat the yankees 3-1 so they split the series with new york. the a's gave the game in the wild card. they're 2.5 back of the red sox.

the champs taking on fullerton. the broncos on the attack. risa is there for the goal. they are 2-0 and 2 on the season. they have a 7-game home stand coming upstarting with four against the yankees and the dodgers in town at the end of the week. >> last time we played the dodgers, it was big. >> it will be. more after the break.
