weather alert. we're seeing rain and under a red flag warning. we need the rain but it comes with concern. that concern is lightning. this is video from last year. that sparked some major wildfires. jeff, what are we seeing right now? >> it's active on the radar. we're seeing this moving closer. that's why things have started to ramp up over the past two to three hours. this is helping to pull in ton stable air from the south. most of the lightning strikes have been over the central and southern sierra. 25 of them so far. closer to the bay area, we've

seen two over the past half hour. you can see the activity moving from the south right off to the north. for the most part, it has been beneficial. we've seen some showers, trace amounts, to about 0.200 inches so far. this could spark more wild fires. there's some over the central valley. also, right back towards the sierra. and a little activity towards the north bay. we get you to a closer view, we'll track this, off to the north. and we'll see the rain pick up just after 10:00 p.m. and some rain over santa rosa, moving to the north and the east. that's keeping rain in the forecast for you in calistoga, through 9:53. another batch of wet weather on the way to petaluma through the early part of 10:00. we'll have more details on this red flag fire warning. back to that in about ten minutes. >> we'll see you shortly. thank you, jeff. the best way to keep on top of everything is to download our nbc bay area app.

you can get weather updates to your phone and tailor the forecast for your area. punch in your zip code and you're all set. our other big story tonight, the sweeping, new plan to get covid under control. >> late today, president biden unveiling his six-point strategy. a big part of it, requiring more people to get vaccinated. that's part one. here's the rest. further protecting those that are vaccinated. keeping schools open, increasing tests and requiring masks, protecting our economic recovery and making sure those who do get covid have the medical care they need. >> we've been patient. but our patience is growing thin. do the right thing. just don't take it from me. listen to the voices of unvaccinated americans, who are lying in hospital beds, taking their final breath, saying, if only i had gotten vaccinated. if only.

it's a tragedy. >> also, the other part of the plan, requiring companies with 100 or more people to either require their employees to get a vaccine or undergo weekly testing. a lot of new rules, mandates and guidelines. >> our business and tech reporter, scott budman, is in the newsroom, with a closer look at what the mandate means for us and companies in the bay area. >> reporter: the president showing frustration, as he spoke today. america averages 150,000 covid cases a day, patience is wearing thin. now, he is looking to businesses to help get all americans vaccinated. even though the bay area hovers near the top when it comes to vaccination rates, local businesses say there's more work to be done. >> we would like to see everybody get vaccinated. >> we're in a tough stretch. it could last for a while. >> reporter: and president biden made it clear, for american business, and our economy to truly bounce back, america's

workplaces need to be covid-free. the president says, all businesses with 100 or more employees must require their workers to vaccinate or test weekly. >> this is not about freedom or personal choice. it's about protecting yourself and the people around you. the people you work with. the people you care about. the people you love. >> lives are at stake. in order to get past this so the economy can reopen and people can have their lives back again, we need to take steps. >> all employees should be vaccinated. >> reporter: do not pay.com is onboard. the san francisco-based company helps people handle legal issues. ceo joshua broader says whether it's software or fast food, customers want to know the people they deal with are not a threat. >> and if you're buying a burger from mcdonald's, you deserve to know the person giving you the

burger does not have covid. i think every business should require employees to be vaccinated. >> reporter: some labor experts say this is what big businesses were waiting for, a national mandate that takes the decision out of their hands. at the same time, some local executives say they're not entirely happy with the president's plan, especially because it doesn't include postal workers. that's about 640,000 federal employees who are exempt. jessica? >> thank you very much, scott. as you were mentioning, not just private companies but federal workers, too. the president did announce today, that all federal workers must get vaccinated with no option to opt out. and if they don't get their shot, they may face disciplinary action. president biden also had a warning for unruly passengers on planes. the tsa is doubling its fines for travelers who refuse to wear a mask. and those new fines will be between 500 and $1,000 for your first offense. between $1,000 and $3,000 for your second offense.

finally, the president calling on states to act. he wants governors to require vaccines for all schoolteachers and staff. you mentioned schools. that might be the biggest issue for parents. who is vaccinated on campus? the biggest school district in california isn't wasting any time. l.a. unified adopted an aggressive vaccination policy for its students. the district will require all kids 12 and up, attending in-person classes, to be vaccinated. the plan says they must have their second dose by the end of october. the district already requires weekly testing for students and employees regardless of vaccination status. >> now, with schools reopening, we've had a lot of outbreaks, a lot of exposures. but the more kids we have vaccinated, the safer our schools will be. >> this is not a position for the school board to be taking on the vaccine. it should be left up to the parents to make this decision. >> you can hear, there's a lot

of pushback across the state. more than 5,000 students in l.a. county have tested positive for covid since the start of the school year. covid impacting the trial of elizabeth holmes, too. a juror revealed he may have been exposed to the virus. the juror says the potential exposure happened over the holiday weekend with someone who did test positive. the juror is vaccinated and not showing symptoms. test results are pending. so, the judge decided to cancel tomorrow's session, which would have been the second day of witness testimony to err on the side of caution. testimony will resume tuesday. yesterday was vice president harris. on monday, president biden will be here in california, to campaign for governor newsom, right before tuesday's recall election. the president will tour the burn area of the caldor fire near south lake tahoe. he will fly to long beach for a campaign event with the governor. today, governor newsom said they

have the power to choose what they want for california. >> you're sending a powerful message, to reject that citizen, to reject that division, to reject this kind of politics. >> the governorgovernor's close challenger is larry elder. after talking water allowances with fresno farmers, he traveled to bakersfield to meet with police officers. >> officers are retiring early because of bad morale. and young people don't want to join a department that is perceived to be systemically racist. >> elder is campaigning east of l.a. in a church east of downey. this saturday will mark 20 years since the september 11th terror attacks. while firefighters and police officers that died that day were hailed as heroes, so are the pilots and the flight attendants on the doomed flights. among them, betty ang. she was on flight 111.

it was betty that alerted authorities that the plane had been hijacked. tonight, we're hearing from betty's brother, harry, who reflects on that terrifying day, his sister's bravery, and the legacy of his family's loss. >> memories for 9/11 for a lot of people, are getting fainter and fainter. >> reporter: nearly 20 years have gone by. and while the memories might gradually fade, harry ang's heart will never forget. >> we're on the 20th anniversary. we don't think of it as an anniversary. >> reporter: this was him ten years ago, talking to jessica aguirre, about his little sister, betty, an american airlines stewardess, who was on the first plane to crash in the world trade center. >> i think we're getting hijacked. >> reporter: her spirit goes through the betty ong recreation

center, where he used to play. the center was renamed in her honor in 2012. >> it's a joy for us to have betty remembered. and hopefully by the kids who attend here. >> reporter: in a year that's been rocked by hate crimes against asian-americans, ong remembers the day when his little sister was working in the family's market and was held at gun point. >> they took out a gun and pointed at her. she says no. and drew the frustration, the perpetrators left. >> reporter: ong believes his sister would be horrified on the cases of unruly passengers taking their anger out on flight crews. >> they're not there to serve pretzels and beverages. they're the eyes in the sky outside of the cockpit. >> reporter: almost 20 years have passed since that fateful day. and you might ask yourself, where are we now? this is harry ong's answer. >> i hope that we can somehow

have some resemblance of 9/11 days of love for each other, hugging and being patriotic, which is not happening today. amidst all of the divisiveness. >> i remember traveling with harry and the rest of his family to 9/11 for the tenth anniversary. ten years ago now. and walking that with them, the palpable pain they felt a decade ago. and i just talked to him the other day. still resonates with them now, the sacrifice his sister made was so huge. and it's so important to them that we all recognize the sacrifices that people made that day. >> it's important. >> and the loss that we felt as a country. >> it's important to this community. i think the next few days will be powerful as we look back to 20 years. >> one of the most meaningful days was going to 9/11 with them, going to the memorial. >> it will be a special few days here, as we recount a lot of the memories. when we come back, many

cruises were canceled during the pandemic. but not everyone got their money back. we're going to lay out a proposal for new refund rules for you and how you can sound off about them before they hit the books. i'm tracking the rain and even lightning over the past 45 minutes. we've had four lightning strikes near santa rosa. i'm back with a look at the forecast in seven minutes.

covid sank a lot of vacation plans for a lot of us. and to make matters worse, some cruise lines told people they weren't getting their money back. >> now, the feds are stepping in, as well. let's bring in chris. >> reporter: why? because cruises are not cheap. look at the recent cases where we have intervened. nat in danville, $1,600. stephen, $6,300.

bonnie in palo alto, $10,000. visit multiple cities and only unpack once. >> cruising is a great way to travel. >> reporter: that's why bonnie street in palo alto enjoys cruises. >> for us, the cruise is convenient. >> reporter: last year, she and her husband were set to sail and paid 10 grand to book. then, covid-19 hit. next, the cruise line, viking, offered a partial refund. >> i was not happy with that. >> reporter: during the pandemic, cruise line refund policies have been all over the map. some lines, no money back. others, credit for future trips and full refunds if you made waves. hundreds of passengers that expected full refunds have complained to our teams around the country. their refunds, like cruise ships, have been tied up. >> we felt like we were being held hostage there. >> no one is prepared for it. nobody knew what to do when they were cancelling cruise lines.

>> reporter: colleen mcdaniel is editor in chief at the website where people have posted reviews for 25 years. >> 25 years. >> reporter: congratulations. have you seen anything like the past year? >> there's been nothing like this. >> reporter: as soon as covid-19 hit, cruise credit readers flooded the sites. >> the first few months, that's when we heard the most dissatisfaction. >> it was difficult for us to figure out. >> reporter: luis sits on the federal maritime commission. it spent the past year looking into cruise companies' refund rules. >> different lines were owned by the same group, they would have completely different refund policies within that group. >> reporter: now, the commission is proposing new cruise refund rules. modeled after federal airline rules. specifically, uniform procedures for how and when passengers may make claims for refunds. here's part of the proposal. when a cruise line cancels or

delays a cruise by a day or more, passengers would get full refunds within 60 days. if there's a government order to stop sailing, like during covid-19, the cruise line gets 180 days to return passengers' money. >> if you're in one cruise line or another cruise line, it doesn't matter. we put the standards in place. >> reporter: he asked the cruise line international for its take. it will be providing comment to the fmc docket. the commission is expected to vote later this year. bonnie hopes the refund rules pass. >> i think there needs to be a great transparency about how this is all going to be dealt with. >> reporter: what happened to her 10 grand? after she contacted us last year, we contacted viking. it told us, thank you for bringing this to our attention. and at the time, explained that due to covid-19, there were some inconsistencies in the customer service experience. ultimately, bonnie got every penny back. >> thank you for coming -- as i said, viking came through with flying colors.

i was excited and happy. >> reporter: the proposed cruise refund rules are not set in stone. before it votes, the federal maritime commission is collecting comments from people like you. you can add your voice until october 25th. e-mail this address. make sure you're write in the subject line, docket 20-15 and sound off. remember, the deadline is october 25th. >> thank you, chris. thanks for all that info. do you remember this? it was a year ago when it felt like we all of a sudden were on mars. it was september 9th, 2020, the day the bay area skies turned that creepy martian orange color. it was creepy. the orange skies stuck around for days. and the air quality was superbad for weeks. remember, it was so weird. we woke up and it felt like it was the end of the earth. the end of the world was coming. >> seems like we've lived five years in one year. so many ups and downs. jeff, how are we doing?
