closer. >> i think, anything to keep our kids safer. >> pfizer vaccine clears a crucial hurdle to help get kids vaccinated. what is next? more on what state officials are unveiling later today. ditching masks? one north bay county says it will be a while before people can say good-bye to the mandates. and then in the wake of the massive facebook leak, top executives from other social media giants are facing tough questions about child safety on their platforms. the changes lawmakers could soon request. good wednesday morning. thank you for making us part of your morning. i am marcus washington. >> i am kris sanchez.

laura garcia has the day off. we will look at your weather and traffic in a moment, and things are quiet there so we want to get to the other top story. pfizer, a smaller dose of the vaccine is being recommended for emergency use in children age 5 to 11, and many agencies are talking about the rollout plans. >> yeah, today at the bay's cierra johnson is live with a look at what is next and how parents are reacting to this. cierra? >> reporter: the emergency authorization was approved 17- olympic 17-0. this will be a vaccination site for kids 5 to 11, and they have had this on the schedule pending the approval. kids will be able to receive those vaccinations here, and it's not just schools that are

working. the state agencies are also working to solidify their plans this afternoon. the california health and human services agency and california department of public health will hold a briefing to discuss the state's plan to vaccinate children 5 to 11. as planning gets under way, take a look at this information. 34% of parents said they would vaccinate right away. 32% said they wanted to wait and see. 7% said they would only vaccinate their children if it was required. 24% said they would definitely not vaccinate their child. in regard to that rare occurrence of the heart

condition, fda scientists wrote in a briefing document that the risk of vaccine outweighed the dangers of hospitalization, death or any serious outcomes, and with that being said, one stanford doctor said the fact that children can get the vaccine in their own doctor's office should help with the hesitancy. >> the main point is that this vaccine prevents symptomatic cases, and while people may think it's not a serious illness, this disease can cause hospitalizations, children on ventilators. the risk is much lower than in adults, but as a parent myself of three adult children, i wouldn't want to take that risk if i have a safe and effective alternative. >> reporter: it is important to note that school districts and state superintendents are also thinking about how they can incorporate their agencies into the vaccination process. tomorrow at 11:00, state superintendent, tony thurman,

will announce work centered on a campaign to rollout pop-up vaccination clinics at is the school age receiving that vaccine, so we will be hearing what schools across the state will be doing to help inoculate their children. this here will be one of the vaccination sites. we will keep you briefed every step of the way. live in mill valley, cierra johnson for "today in the bay." >> thank you. oakland unified will be laying out requirements for the new vaxxing mandates. the board recently voted to require all students ages 12 years old and up to get vaccinated by january 1st. tonight the board will discuss the alternative students that don't get the shot. if they don't transfer to independent studies, and if they

don't transfer they could be unenrolled. despite the high vaccination rate in marin county, the public health officer says mask mandates will stay in place, at least for now. in a statement, the county is at moderate transmission rates. earlier this month the county joined forces with other bay area counties studying guidelines of when they would lift the mask restrictions. this morning the south bay could soon join a list of hospitals creating a list of long-term covid symptoms. valley medical center is looking to create a clinic to help patients with long hauler syndrome. right now the center is awaiting

recommendation of physicians before it proceeds. ucsf and stanford have similar clinics in place. developing now, youtube has revealed that it removed more than 120,000 sexually explicit videos involving children just this year. today in the bay's chris pallone joins us from washington, d.c. the executives from youtube and snapchat, they face tough questions. >> kris, that's right. good morning. the top executives from platforms that are hugely popular with younger teens along with youtube defended their practices, arguing that they do protect kids and tried to separate themselves from

facebook. >> snapchat was a decidedly different platform where people could come and talk to the friend that they have in real life. we do not support features such as comments or live chat. >> what can they platforms do to protect teens? congress could do more like implementing stricter privacy laws, and maybe banning like buttons and allowing platforms to prevent websites from promoting influencer ads. but some senators want stronger commitments from the platforms to back some sort of legislation that would help regulate the industry. kris? >> thank you very much, chris. 6:07 for you this morning. now to a small sign of recovery amid the state's ongoing devastating drought.

the weekend rain gave major boosts to reservoirs in the north bay and "the chronicle" is reporting that before the downpour on friday, the reservoirs in the mount tamalpais watershed was 32% and now is nearly 50% full. the powerful storm also brought life back to this iconic landmark in northern california. you know what it is, right? yosmite falls. the water is flowing again and it started over the weekend. the falls was dried up over the summer and the recent storm dropped several inches back in that region. >> it was, like, july, and it was right after monsoon rain, and it was pouring then.

it was a downpour compared to this summer, so it's good to see the water is coming back and we are seeing revitalization thanks to the rain that recently moved through. it's going to be warmer today and tomorrow, and we will see sunshine across the area. weekend plans? it's looking good, just slightly cooler in some spots. as you are heading out the door this morning, grab a jacket. we'll see a slow warm-up in our temperatures but it will be warmer this afternoon. we're headed for low 70s there. we will see a high of 71 in livermore, and 70 in palo alto. in san rafael today, reaching upper 60s. 72 in santa rosa. we'll talk about the weekend coming up in a few minutes. vianey, are you seeing slowdowns now? >> yes, slowdowns, but thankfully no accidents. the green on my traffic map means traffic is moving along, but there's a typical morning

slowdown on 580 from the tri-valley into livermore. we will see slowing as well in the tri-valley. westbound 580 to grant line road, 25 minutes. southbound from vargas road to 680, 13 minutes. the bay bridge toll plaza metering lights are on, so it's time to hit the road. you can pour out the seltzer, because we are going to tell you about one of the drastic things they had to make. >> the dow is going to gain on the open. we are 100 days away from the beijing winter olympics, and

this skater from palo alto, he is at 21 a veteran competitor. beijing will be his third trip to the olympics games. he was the third person to land a quadruple lux. we're be right back.

good wednesday morning. it's 6:13. let's check out cupertino. the temperature at 53 degrees to start and it's going to be a nice warm-up, a mix of sun and clouds and a lot more sunshine this afternoon. we're heading for the low 70s. we'll look at all the microclimates in the forecast, coming up. the metering lights are definitely on. if you want to hit the road, it's time to do so now. i will have the rest of your commute, coming up. a judge told southwest airlines it has the right to demand its pilots get vaccinated, and if they don't, they don't fly. southwest is a federal contractor, where they don't just carry you and your luggage, but mail and troops at times. the union said they should not make rules without negotiating with the rules first but a judge

disagreed. as we think about air travel, remember the u.s. will start letting foreign travelers into the country with proof of vaccination in just a few weeks. now that's great for san francisco tourism, but it will also increase the number of people flying by a lot. keep that in mind as you make holiday plans. and democrats have the plan to tax companies that pay little in taxes, sometimes less than your family pays and put a big, big tax on billionaires, by changing what is considered income. income is generally your paycheck. some very rich people, though, don't get a paycheck and they have no income, or maybe they get paid a dollar for being the ceo, and their riches come from stock which is not taxed until they sell it. if you are making tens of

millions of dollars a year, you are not considered rich enough for this proposed tax. one way or the other, this is a radical new way of thinking of the idea of income, and there are a lot of down sides to it. complications, we'll get into them if and when this gets voted. elon musk, the richest person to ever walk the earth is against that tax. musk is rich because of tesla, which you may recall took nearly half a billion from taxpayers to get itself on its feet. it paid that money back and paid it back early, in fact. hertz will rent out cars to uber drivers so it could be more common that you could get an uber ride that is a tesla model 3. i have had a couple tesla rides and they are very comfortable.

>> as an uber or a lyft ride? >> yes, as an uber ride. you can rent them at hertz and uber drivers. >> what happens if you deliver -- if you take it back with the tank empty -- >> will the chargers at the airport be $7 per kilowatt? >> they have to find a way to charge you. >> we probably just got a rise from somebody that has a tesla. >> somebody in the news room. the hard seltzer fad might be over, but don't say good-bye to your white claw just yet. millions of cases of truly were thrown out as the hard seltzer fad starts to fade.

they tossed the hard seltzer because of the concerns that the product was going stale. you may have seen more hard seltzers, and "saturday night live" did a skit about it, everybody having their seltzers. in the early days, it was just white claw, and truly now there are so many people drinking them. >> i think i had one with vianey not too long ago. i did not like it. >> not my favorite. i will take a margarita, though. now trending, you love this -- >> yeah, so a los angeles home featured in the 1984 "a nightmare on elm street," that home, three bedrooms and 4.5

baths. it has a pool, a guest house -- kris, is this your house? >> no. >> it is a dream home, and it's listed for 3.25 or $3.3 million. with halloween just four days away, and i want you to let know what is your favorite horror room? i love horror rooms. >> not me. >> i would move on outside of the room as a kid, and i would peek in to watch the movie. i posted this on my facebook page. mine is "a nightmare on elm street." i love freddy krueger. i dressed up as him for halloween one year, too. >> i just recently watched "halloween", and i know this about these movies, the killer

always comes back to the home, so i am not down for that. michael meyers never runs -- >> but he always catches you. let's look at the forecast, rain, rain, wash the horror away. >> right? we have a fresh morning and we are heading out the door to a few clouds. this is the water year rain update, and the water year just starting on october 1st, so we are right now at a big sur plus. let's hope it kind of stays this way. we measured over 10 inches of rain in santa rosa, and over 5 inches in oakland and san francisco, and over 4 inches in concord. we will get the update tomorrow, and we will see if that changes but it will take a lot more rain

to see changes in the drought. we are going to reach 72 in san josé. 74 in gilroy. up to 74 today in concord for a high temperature. hayward reaching 69 degrees. in palo alto, expect a high of 69, and 73 in daley. we are seeing the next storm system, but it's days away. we can see the clouds at the center of the storm and all of the dry air in between. we will let the water soak in, but we may see more fog as a result of the next couple of days. go into the weekend, we will see a storm system passing to the north that could bring us more clouds. by monday the rain is back. once again, really great to see that we do see in the extended forecast the rain chances coming back. it will be nice for highs in the low 70s for inland areas.

by the weekend, cooler and more clouds for halloween. for san francisco, we're staying in the 60s. vianey, how is it looking now for the morning commute? >> still looking good on the roads. let's get to the drive times, because westbound 80 towards the bay bridge, you are looking at 13 minutes. yes, those metering lights are definitely on. and let's look at the san mateo bridge and commute, and it's looking good. back to you. next on "today in the bay," "nbc bay area responds." >> has the wet weather left a mark on your ceiling? the time to act is now. i am nbc consumer reporter, chris chmura.

ever wonder how san francisco became the greenest big city in america? just ask the employee owners of recology. we built the recycling system from the ground up, helping san francisco become the first city in the country to have a universal recycling and composting program for residents and businesses. but it all starts with you. let's keep making a differene together. good morning. take a look at next door. here are folks in the east bay already posting pictures and asking questions, what do we do here? who do you hire? we have a couple suggestions.

you don't want the water damage to spread, rot and create structural concerns. even if the new spot doesn't spread, you don't want mold to grow there. three, dragging your feet might jeopardize whether homeowners insurance will help pay for repairs. >> definitely don't ignore it. yeah, water is one of the difficult losses in that if you let it sit for too long mold can set in and that will create a more costly loss itself. mold is not always covered if it's detected way late, until after, and so if you get on top of it quickly and it's part of the initial filing, it will be included. if you leave it and months and months and months go by and then you have mold issues, that could be an issue for you. for thousands.

if you see the spot on the ceiling today, make the call today and not tomorrow. call your insurance company and then a contractor. look up the contractor on the website and click the check markup here at the top. do prepay them more than $1,000. state law caps contractor deposits at 10% of the cost of the job or $1,000, whichever is less. if a contractor demands more, they are breaking a law and that's a sure sign to pick somebody else. if you have trouble let us know, go to nbcbayarea.com and click the responds option, or call us, 888-996-tips. more beef with in-n-out. the bay area location closed over the vaccine mandates.

vaccinated. they suspended the commercial food permit and told it to shutdown. the health services said it repeatedly notified in-n-out that it would be fined, and the county ended up citing the location here four times in recent weeks for fines totaling $1,750. and in san ramon, that location was cited for $200, and then noted the one in pinole of not checking the vaccination statuses. the pleasant hill location was not checking the vaccination status of indoor customers, and they call it government overreach. quote, we refuse to become the vaccination police for any government. end quote. the san francisco health department shutdown the in-n-out

full details, coming up. president biden is campaigning in virginia. >> the governor's race there important to both sides. >> yeah, virginia one of the states that can go either way, like other formerly red states, georgia, arizona, and which party wins in that state could be an indication of what party will perform well in the midterms, perhaps the next presidential election. biden was just across the river from washington in virginia to support the democratic candidate mcauliffe. he has been a popular governor before, and virginia has a rule you can't run for governor in consecutive terms. >> so virginia, show up! show up like you did for barack and me! show up like you did for me and camilla! and show up for a proven leader

like terry mcauliffe. >> the reason show up is so important, the race could come to democrats in washington say they are close to a deal on the build back better deal that keeps getting smaller and smaller. they want the deal before the president leaves for europe later this week. >> it's worth the sleepless nights and it's worth the long weekends. this is our job, and it's a moment -- it may be a moment that doesn't come back again. >> doesn't come back again, because, again, mid-term elections next year. democrats control the house and more or less the senate right now, but that may not last. historically a party with the president in the white house gets whacked in the midterms. as for that trip to europe for a climate summit, the president

will meet one-on-one with the pope. some catholic bishops have said biden should not be allowed to take communion because of his pro choice stance on abortion, and he said is he against abortion but does not want to force his beliefs on other people, he said. we'll be watching what is happening in washington and talking about it on social media. i mostly use twitter. you will find me there. i'm @scottmcgrew. some relief is on the way for some californians. anybody in the state that has not received their stimulus in the past few months could receive checks from $600 to $1,000. to qualify you had to file your 2020 taxes by october 15th of

karen just finished what she felt was a disappointing performance, ultimately finishing 11th, and vowed to come back and try again. >> i can't believe it was four years ago. actually kind of crazy. >> the karen of today, though, said that decision did not end up being so easy. she is now living and skating at the training center in colorado springs. she's determined to make the team once again, but it took a while to make that decision. she enrolled in school in new york, and she tried juggling skating and studying and found it hard to excel at both. knowing college could wait, and

knowing her elite talent couldn't, she decided to move to colorado. >> i just find joy in working on jumps. i feel like i have grown since i moved out here. >> karen said time spent soul searching as well as living on her own in school and now in cal has helped her mature. she knows better than ever who she is and what she wants, and thanks to her experience four years ago, she knows what it takes to get there. we are just now entering the season where we will find out who makes the team and doesn't. karen is heading to canada now to perform in skate canada. they will determine who will be on the olympic team in january in nashville. >> you get time stamped, right? you see your own kids growing

day by day, and you don't see that maturity, but then when you see the athletes -- >> yeah, when she was an 18-year-old, you get to see people mature a lot. it was fun to get to see that and hear from karen about what that process has been like. >> the guts to step away from school. >> yeah, school will be there, but this opportunity won't. love that. >> she is studying pre-med at cornell. she'll be just fine when she gets back. >> i am sure she will. >> friday, february 4th is when they start. you can only watch the olympics here on nbc bay area. one bay area couple knows

this next thing quite well. >> while in school the pair would make elaborate meals together. what better place to take engagement photos than at the grocery store when they shopped to create the delicious meals. the store does not have a record of anybody doing this before in its 44-year-old history. >> i like that. >> my husband and i cook a lot together. >> i would expect you to take pictures by the grill, though. >> yeah, the smoker, the grill. but that's cute. >> yeah. congratulations to us, too, because our forecast is looking nice, kari. >> we are looking forward to actually being able to get outside this upcoming weekend and enjoying halloween. there's so much going on across the bay area. so as you are just waking up and getting ready to head out, that's a nice shot at the tri-valley looking at dublin. right now in the low 50s.

we will see our temperatures trending toward the mid-60s at lunchtime and upper 60s for the afternoon. the south bay here, as the 7-day forecast comes up at the bottom of the screen. today a high of 70 in los gatos, and that's warmer than yesterday. morgan hill reaching 74 degrees. low to mid-70s for the east bay. in pleasanton, a high of 72 and 72 in walnut creek. redwood city, 69 degrees there. sonoma reaching 73. it's going to be really comfortable this afternoon. before all of that rain, we are looking at how dry our reservoirs were. look at the south bay numbers and the percent of capacity for the reservoir. only 8% of capacity. in marin county as well as parts of sonoma and napa counties, on

average about 30%. but now with all of the rain, we brought it up to 50% in the north bay, so that was a boost of about 17%. east bay mud went up about 4%, so we are now at 71% of capacity. for the south bay, it was not a lot but hopefully we will see more rain coming. this is the next storm. we can see all of the space between what we are seeing now and this storm system. it's going to be a few days before it gets here. we will see all of the rain that we had recently soak into the ground, and then also another storm system passing just to the north of us throughout the weekend. then the rain set to move in on monday. it looks like a pretty decent one. we will fine tune how much rain we will see as we get closer. as we look at the outlooks for the next two weeks, through november 9th, we are looking at good rain chances across northern california and hopefully that is also a boost to our sierra snowpack. we are going to see temperatures

in the low 70s for the inland areas through the end of the week. some upper 60s for halloween weekend. i think that's perfect for wearing the costumes and heading outside. we will see our rain coming back as we go back to work next week. vianey, you are watching the slowdown, and that's mainly for the south bay. >> yeah, we always have a little slowing, especially around this hour. i also noticed major slowing along the bridge. looks like there was a hazard near the treasure island exit. keep in that mind. the metering lights are on. good news, that earlier crash here cleared out but we are seeing residual traffic from the incident. westbound 80 toward the bay bridge, 19 minutes. that's all for me. i'll send it back to you. >> thanks, vianey. happening now, a new study shows teenagers are turning to

vaping pens to invest marijuana. 8.4% of teenagers say they vaped cannabis within the last 30 days, and that's up 1.6% from 2019. according to one study, the overall percentage of high school seniors that admitted to using marijuana is hovering around 35%. next, a quick look at the top stories including getting kids vaccinated. we'll talk about the giant hurdle cleared to get school-aged children shots. plus, shutdown, another in-n-out location beefing with vaccine mandates. we're back in just two minutes with more of "today in the bay."

6:56. welcome back. here are the top stories here on "today in the bay." first, pfizer's small dose of the covid vaccine being recommended for emergency authorization in children 5 to 11. >> a lot of the local agencies are talking about the rollout plans, the state, too. today in the bay's cierra johnson joins us with what is next for parents. >> reporter: good morning. the first hurdle cleared with a 17-0 vote for the authorization, the first step in the overall

authorization. here in mill valley this is one of the schools that will possibly become one of those vaccination sites for children ages 5 to 11. they have already been working ahead pending that authorization to make this one of the sites. it's not just the school but state agencies as well working ahead. california health and human services as well as the department of health this afternoon will hold a media briefing to discuss the state's plan for vaccinations for child 5 to 11. take a look at this. this is from kaiser family foundation. it found 34% of parents said they would vaccinate right away, and 32% said they wanted to wait and see, and 7% said they would vaccinate their children if it was required only, and 24% said they would definitely not.
