local area. and are an important economic engine that hires our engineers and scientists. >> reporter: the unidentified female scientist suffers eardrum pain and taken to stanford hospital. adrian martin and his wife had come from romania in search of a better life for themselves and their 17-year-old daughter, a piano student. >> we are trying to make sure that she has everything she needed in order to pursue her career in music. that's what she wanted to do. from a very young age. >> reporter: it was after midnight early today, this morning, when gas had dissipated enough for investigators to walk through the building. they could see that two laboratories were extensively damaged, as were several offices. it will be certainly a while before this company gets back in operation. ann? >> don knapp in menlo park, thank you. well, firefighters in southern california are getting the upper hand on a wildfire in the san bernardino national

died, but a few survived. >> unfortunately, yes, it is a very tragic scene. the owner had numerous animals, sheep and rabbits and i understand some dogs. there was a bull here. the bull is still here. the bull is still alive. there are a number of sheep that are still alive and unfortunately he did suffer a great loss of many of his animals. >> reporter: firefighters say hot temperatures and the wind were the biggest challenges today. the fire is now 60% contained. but it only takes seconds for hot spots to flare up. >> people should realize that a lot of the homes that were in the path of the fire, the ones that had good clearance around their homes suffered very little if no damage at all. >> that was ann sterling reporting. >> reporter: the san rafael man beaten unconscious in a rest room during the 49ers/raiders game at candlestick park is now talking about the slow response in getting help. >> people didn't respond fast enough to where if it was even

more intense, i think my life could have been taken in a second because it wasn't quick enough. >> the 26-year-old who does not want to be identified blames a lack of security. the emergency room worker also believes because his condition is improving, the search for a suspect has cooled off. now, here is a sketch of the man police are looking for. he is described as is a mow samoan 6'3", and long curly hair and pony tail and sports a goatee and anyone with information is asked to call san francisco police. several new security measures are going into place today at candlestick park to make sure football fans are safe. it comes in the wake of the violence with the 49ers/raiders game two weeks ago. today, cal is playing fresno state at candlestick and among the safety measures, security sweeps. additional staff is also stationed inside the stadium, and in the parking lot. and the uniformed and plain clothes police will now patrol the rest room.

of city hall. >> we want to respect people's right to use their constitutionally afforded right to medicate with medical cannabis. but we want to do so in a time, place, manner, restriction that allows them to go off to the left. >> reporter: in the blocked off streets surrounding city hall, colorful characters and products. >> this is black magic odor barrier bag, and it is for your delicate contents. >> reporter: the only thing not allowed for sale, pot itself. >> absolutely. because we have a lot of other products that we're allowed to sell. the only thing i can't sell is the seed. the seeds we're taking orders for and fill those orders later. >> reporter: and the only people allowed to smoke in the designated area, people with bona fide doctor's recommendation. >> what is your prescription for? >> anxiety. actually, yeah. and it does help. definitely. for a test or something. >> reporter: doesn't pot make you paranoid? >> not at all. it fixes every problem for me. >> reporter: it allows my muscles to relax and it allows

lee slam a boat against a pier ississippi. there high winds from tropical storm lee slam a boat against a pier in mississippi. there is flooding all along the gulf coast, as the storm stalls just offshore, evacuations are under way, and many people are without power. in the last hour, lee weakened just a little bit. and winds dropping from 60 to 50 miles an hour. but tropical storm warnings still extend to texas and part

of the florida panhandle. drew levinson reports on this super soaker of a storm. >> reporter: tropical storm lee is flooding parts of the gulf coast. forecasters predict it could dump up to 20 inches of rain. in new orleans, which sits below sea level, some streets are under water. but the city pumps are working. pushing the water into lake pontchartrain. for some, that is the problem. >> that is lake pontchartrain right there. the same level as my boathouse. >> reporter: this man wielding a toilet plunger spoke to the local cbs affiliate. >> besides trying to take matters in your own hands, what else are you doing today? >> i'm raising all the stuff in my boathouse trying to save it because i didn't expect it to get this high. >> reporter: so far lee's storm surge has not penetrated the levees protecting new orleans. six years ago, katrina's fury ripped apart some of those levees, flooding 80% of the city. they were rebuilt and appear to be holding. lee is wreaking ha jock in jean

lefitte louisiana with mandatory evacuations and with lee's drenching rains and floodwaters, emergency rescue crews are urging people to stay inside, off the roads and out of the water. >> we're from utah. we don't know any better. we don't know anybody to tell us we're crazy. so we will go out there and see if we can catch a few cat fish. >> reporter: the storm is expected to continue causing problems along the gulf coast through the weekend. drew levinson, cbs news. and still no sign this hour of a plan who disappeared while hiking yosemite national park. 69-year-old gene hall was last seen tuesday at the vogelsung high sierra camp. he was reported missing thursday when he did not return to his car. searchers are looking for him from the ground and helicopter. yosemite officials believe he may have climbed the peak during the hike but it is a popular but challenging trail. labor day weekend often equated with barbecues but other food festivals in the bay area. we will take you on the festival on the peninsula, known for its

greek hospitality. our summer weather pattern continues. even though this is often seen as the end of summer. we will take a look at the forecast changes for you, coming up in just a few minutes.

holiday weekend, how about a

mini- greek vacation in belmont. if you're not traveling this holiday weekend, how about a mini greek vacation in belmont? yup, the 41st annual greek festival at the greek orthodox church of the holy cross. food of course, the big attraction, and all of it made by churn -- church members. and greek art and crafts and music and dance. cooking lessons. that's what i would like. very cool. an the festival runs through monday. no complaints regarding the weather there. it looks like a beautiful day. >> it should be like that again tomorrow with more afternoon sunshine. >> lots of festivals and events around the bay and a festival in toledo and millbrae has a festival tomorrow afternoon. they will all be looking for afternoon clearing. after the morning low clouds give way to a mostly sunny day. and classic summer pattern continues here for your holiday weekend. we will see 60s at the beach. and upper 80s to low 90s across the inland areas, where things are a little warmer. but pretty close to seasonal

norms for this time of the year am and be advised the surf is up along the coast here. we're looking for the potential, or at least the high risk for rip current activity, large shore breaks, and waves. it is always a good idea to keep an eye on the waves when you're at the beach. today's high topped out in the upper 80s to low 90s across the interior. upper 70s and low 80s in the east bay. and across into the east bay hills. and then cooling as you would expect back to the city. 70 there. with upper 50s and low 60s at the beach. pacifica, 75. questionable at this point. but hey, if it makes you feel good, we will keep that on there. as we take a look at the fog retreating to the beach through the day, by midday, mostly clear through the area and the fog did not dissipate entirely nor will it this time of the year. looking for clear skies tonight and mostly cloudy by midnight and temperatures in the mid to upper 50s pretty much throughout the bay and tomorrow, low clouds will give way to mostly sunny

skies, for most locations. and with the peninsula and the beach in the mid-60s. and into the upper 80s to low 90s out across the interior. a stratus quo weather pattern holding here with a southerly surge of fog, maintaining an onshore push to keep the fog arn. little cooler air headed our way for the beginning of the week, and that will be the dominant weather feature here as once again the morning low clouds will give way to plenty of afternoon sunshine. no heat waves in sight at this point. but then the beginning of school is often the last shot at our heat wave activity. usually mid september. so there is still hope, kim. as we see for tomorrow, mid 80s to low 90s across the interior. into the upper 70s and low 80s in the east bay hills. and back on the peninsula again, we will look for mid-60s, with low 60s expected at the beach. across the north bay, a couple of degrees cooler than today. still in the mid to upper 80s there. a few low 90s as you head east. and the seven-day forecast, once again, it brings a bit of a cooldown in the area for the beginning of the week, and then

we will reverse that trend and see a bit of a bump come next weekend as things warm up again slightly. but still, no heat wave in sight. at this point, the cool typical weather pattern will continue. let's check in and get a sports update with kim. >> thanks. the 49ers are once again in the market for a veteran quarterback. and how much luck would stanford need in the season opener against san jose state? find out next in sports. ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

have to travel as far to play a top 10 last year, san jose state opened up its season in tuscaloosa. but this year, the spartans did not have to travel as far to play a top 10 team. the david shaw era is officially under way down on the farm. end of the first quarter, stanford up 10-0. stanford lines up but there is a fumble. and it sets up a cardinal inside the red zone. in on the first play of the second quarter, andrew lutz finds the tight end in the back of the end zone. the junior tight end is the go to guy. later in the second, stanford up 20-0. chase thomas comes up free up the middle and crushes matt falkner. henry anderson scoops up the fumble and makes the case to be the return man but he gets tripped up and falls inches short of the goal line. the cardinals offense turned the turnover into another touchdown.

luck rolls out and finds ryan hewitt. stanford blows out san jose state 57-3. >> obviously putting up 57 points, i think a large part of that was the defensive special teams putting out there some situations where you almost can't mess up. >> picked up by anderson. bill feg la. motoring inside the 20 and then the 5. and on the way to the goal line. >> i was running and expecting to get tackled. [ laughter ] >> we were thinking that and i was getting close to the goal and i was thinking why haven't i been tackled yet and i looked back and i think it was a wide receiver just flying toward my hip. and i said wow, i didn't see him coming. >> and out at candlestick, fresno state. 33-14 in the fourth quarter. marvin jones has over 100 yards receiving and two touchdowns. the defending national champions, auburn in some

trouble at home, against utah state. two minutes to go, tigers down 38-35. check out number 80, emery blake. he handles the onside kick like it is a pass. and takes it all the way down to the 21-yard line. just like they drew it up. less than a minute to go, michael dyer bangs it in for the game-winning touchdown. auburn scores 14 points in the final 2:07 and comes back to beat utah state 42-38. the raiders have reportedly cut quarterback trent edwards and that means kyle bolar will be the backup and terrell prior will be the number three quarterback. meanwhile, the 49ers have cut quarterback josh mccalen and bethel thompson, and both only played briefly in the final preseason game. the team is expected to look for a veteran quarterback to add to the roster, because right now, it is just alex smith and collin cappernick. baseball at the coliseum. a's and mariners. bottom of the 5th. michael penada hangs one and

scott sizemore makes him pay with a show low shot to left. 3-0a's in the 9th. this one goes to cliff pennington. it is a throw to first. it is a nondouble play. brandon mccarthy hits the three-hit shutout and he picks up the 8th win as the a's bet the m's 3-0. roger federer in the u.s. open in the third round. federer on the run for the far court. a good workout this afternoon. the match lasted those to three hours and in the end federer was too much for cilic and advances for the 30th straight game at a grand slam. >> come on. >> on the women's side, serena williams dominated fourth seed victoria azaranko and the first set 6-1 and held on to win the tie-break in the second set and advance to the fourth round.

round two at the deutsche bank championship. the drinks are on brant snedkerr tonight as he aced the par three 16th. the first hole in one in a pga event. and eagled the 18th. and one shot back after shooting a 64. adam scott has a low round of the day. 8 under 63. he sinks the long eagle putt on 18. scott is tied for the lead at 10 under. with bubba watson and masters winner charles swarzel. and we will have highlights and reaction tonight from at&t park. as the giants are trying to catch the diamondbacks. appreciate it. and a threat warning tonight, just days before the 9/11 anniversary. the fear that small planes will be used in an attack by al qaeda operatives. but the fbi and homeland security department are telling local law enforcement about what they've learned. and that story and more tonight at 10:00 and 11:00. and of course, kim has all of the sports at 11:00. on cbs 5. until then, we will see you then. have a good night.
