suspect crashing into five other vehicles on the powell street off-ramp. it hit a pedestrian and that person went to the hospital. for now we don't know why the chp was after that vehicle. traffic in the area is worse than usual as you can imagine. kpix 5 reporter christin ayers is on scene getting more information and we'll have the latest online at cbssf.com. now to a developing story right now. hurricane matthew tracking toward the u.s. as a category 4 storm. president obama declaring a state of emergency for florida where 1.5 million people are in the evacuation zones. disneyworld, seaworld, universal studios, all shut down. this as the storm has killed close to 150 people in the caribbean, most of those victims in haiti. here's a live look at the storm as it inches closer to florida's eastern seaboard. cbs reporter don champion is in

the coastal city of port orange where thousands of people have been forced to leave their homes. >> reporter: winds and waves along the florida coastline are signs of the trouble to come hurricane matthew is barreling toward the florida coast as a category 4 hurricane and it could get even stronger. governor rick scott insisted the storm isn't one to take lightly. >> if you are in an evacuation zone get out. this is not something you should take a chance with. >> reporter: not far away, gary took his boat out of the water. he is the retired firefighter and says residents who stay behind do so at their own risk. >> when it gets bad and they call in 911, they don't leave the firehouse. they don't leave until after. >> reporter: hurricane conditions are even expected inland in orlando, where disney is closing its theme park. at least 2500 national guard troops have been called up, preparing supplies and rescue

boats. and as we brace for matthew, it is important to note that this part of the south florida coast has never been hit by a major hurricane. so this will be a far more powerful experience for anyone who dared to stay behind and try and ride out this storm. at last check more than 3,000 people were in about 60 shelters set up across the state. ken and liz, back to you. all right, don champion, thank you for that live report. back here in the bay area, more than a dozen flights had to be canceled because of hurricane matthew. now, most of those flights were scheduled to fly into or out of fort lauderdale or miami or orlando. all three of those cities affected. let's get the latest from chief meteorologist paul deanno who is outside levi's stadium with the very latest. paul. >> tell you what, guys, if you can imagine this, imagine hurricane-force winds stretching all the way from point reyes here in california all the way south to santa

barbara. that's a big chunk of coastline. that's exactly the potential to happen on the other side of the country in the east coast of florida. take a look at the satellite review of the storm. hurricane matthew is a 140-mile- per-hour sustained wind cat-4 major hurricane and the storm very likely will parallel the florida, georgia and south carolina coastlines for the better part of 36 hours, which means we will see hurricane- force winds or the potential of wind gusts up to 100 miles per hour from palm beach, florida, all the way north to south carolina. when it comes to hurricane forecasts, this is just about a worst-case scenario. we have our local forecast, which is beautiful, coming up in a few minutes. other bay area headlines, former san francisco school board president keith jackson and two others pleaded not guilty today on bribery charges. now this stems from the investigation of chinatown crime boss raymond "shrimp boy" chow, who received a life sentence in august for murder.

[ loud background noise ] >> the santa clara county sheriff is installing lock boxes for all deputies. it's to keep their guns safe from thieves. this ahead of a new state law in january requiring service weapons to be secured in vehicles. now in the north bay an attempted getaway that ended in a serious wreck. a chp officer tried to stop a car in novato. that driver had serious injuries when his car hit a tree off highway 37. and in antioch, a hazmat scare this morning. fire crews say a piece of a construction equipment containing the radioactive material -- containing radioactive material was run over by a truck causing a leak. material is used in some smoke alarms and has some medical applications. no injuries reported. it was a day of reckoning for some students in the east bay. not a big test this time around. rather, it was a flu vaccine day. and this year, kpix 5's john

ramos tells us there was no easy alternative. >> reporter: a beautiful fall day at glenview elementary school in oakland. so why were some kids feeling like they were walking their last mile? >> i'm going to squeeze this so i don't get mad at anybody. >> reporter: when you get a shot? >> yes. >> reporter: it was flu shot day. for the last three years, oakland unified has held three "shoo the flu" "shoo the flu" for kids. last year kids who wanted to skip the shot could get the flumist instead but now the cdc says the mist didn't work and recommends not using it. >> and then when they heard this year there was no option, it makes it challenging for them. >> reporter: while fourth grader helen was a little nervous to get her shot, she recovered nicely and even held her teacher's hand when it was her turn.

and suddenly, what had seemed pretty scary ended up no big deal. are you pretty brave about getting shots? >> yeah, a little bit. >> it hurt a little bit. like on a scale of one to ten, probably about a half. >> reporter: in oakland, john ramos, kpix 5. well, it is fleet week and that means a spectacular show in the sky. [ very loud background noise ] >> today the blue angels roared over san francisco. tonight navy pilots are practicing for the airshow this weekend. we saw four planes dipping an diving, soaring and streaking over the bay as they gear up for the big week. turns out, one of those pilots grew up in los altos. >> it's a neat sensation. we all love to fly or wouldn't be here and, um, flying in a blue angel jet in a blue angel formation parts of that invigorating team that entire ballet of in the air and on the ground support that makes it happen is, um, is invigorating but very much a privilege and honor for us to be part of each and every day.

>> reporter: you can watch ryan, the mountain view high grad, and his fellow angels all weekend long starting tomorrow. they fly each day at 3 p.m. and another live look now at levi's stadium, just over an hour the 9ers will be facing off against the arizona cardinals. so far 49ers have had what you might call a rough start to their season. it hasn't gone as planned. but some fans are actually going to benefit from that tonight. >> that's right. kpix 5 reporter devin fehely is live outside leave right now where some paid more for their parking than they did for their tickets. devin. >> reporter: yeah. that's exactly right, guys. now, for better or worse, online ticket sales are a good barometer about how fans are feeling about the team and there's some evidence that the team is losing support. they are willing to sell their season tickets at a big loss. >> yeah, baby. >> reporter: these are the faithful, the true fans, more likely to sell a kidney than a season ticket. >> everybody in my family is

raider fans. i'm 9er fan. [ laughter ] >> that's the way it's going to stay. >> reporter: but after a lackluster start to the season there are signs that the faith may be faltering. >> we are having ruch -- we are having rough patches. it's rough to see. >> reporter: online hundreds of season ticket holders are dumping their tickets often at a loss. at the nfl exchange today we found tickets going for as little as $20 well below face value. >> hopeful. we just always keep hope. we're still fans. >> reporter: but one fan's loss is another's gain. mike got a great deal on tickets. after a life-long fan is seeing his team in person for the very first time. >> there are a lot of fair winded fans. they will go when it's good and lose faith when it's down. but, um, i been a 49er faithful since five years old. >> reporter: as of a short time ago, we could still find those

$20 deals online. you have to check. but if you got the time and you have just a little bit of money, not a bad time to go see a 49ers game at levi's stadium. devin fehely, kpix 5. always fun to come to a game. >> oh, yeah. you talk about excitement, right? >> absolutely! >> last night, i know in your house and in our newsroom as well people were screaming, hooting and hollering about giants, let's talk about october magic. right? a 9th inning home run by conor gillaspie sending the team to the nlds against the cubs. if you want to go, a lot of people are thinking about traveling, our julie watts found out a last-minute dream trip to the giants in chicago doesn't have to be all that expensive. >> reporter: tickets for friday and saturday's play-off games are available on stubhub starting at $157 with fees per game. but, of course, those are the nosebleeds with limited view. infold box seats could go

between $2,500 and $4,000 per ticket. when it comes to hotels, cheaper venues like the wrigley hostel are booked. but hot wire is showing three to four star hotels on the miracle mile starting at $183 plus taxes and fees. last-minute airfare to the windy city is by far the biggest expense. we found flights on united friday morning arriving in time for the 8:15 game as low as $726. but book quickly. a similar flight on delta went from $689 to over $1,000 in a matter of minutes. now, no trip though chicago is complete without a deep dish, a large pie there running about 30 bucks a pop. and we are told the beer at the cubby bear across from wrigley is a must beers 7 to 9 bucks. total for two people two games two nights two pizzas and beers, $2,350.50. to save more on a hotel room you can play the big game on priceline and try to name your price but beware of the

neighborhoods that you are bidding n on the consumerwatch, julie watts, kpix 5. doesn't somebody have an uncle or aunt they can stay with or a friend? >> or a friend of a friend. that will work, yeah. [ laughter ] >> coming up, a bay area high school football coach may be pushing academics. >> the unusual tactic to reward his players and how they get to show off their grades. >> and it's not all about football here at levi's stadium. ayesha curry and michael nina are here cooking up a huge feast and our own betty yu is with them. >> i'm hungry. ♪[ music ] ,,,,,,,,,,

what a spectacular afternoon! another live look now from chopper 5 high over levi's

stadium. the san francisco 49ers be hosting the arizona cardinals right here thursday night football on kpix 5. meantime, a group of bay area high school football players is wearing their good grades on the field. >> that's right. kpix 5 reporter john ford shows us how they get to show off their success on game day. >> one, two, three. >> reporter: bulldogs varsity practice. several young men have stickers for outstanding performance. but there's a catch. [ whistle ] >> the stickers go out on academic achieve. >> reporter: the coach expects 100% on the field. but if you want a helmet sticker -- >> 3.0 he is humble. >> reporter: -- you must earn it with at least a 2.0. while jesus has a 3.4, he is not so sure about some of his teammates. >> it really pushes you to get that 2.0 or higher. because if you don't get it, you don't play. >> reporter: the team culture

is changing. and competing for the stickers is becoming cool. helmet bling. >> looking cool. that's a big part of it. >> reporter: have you had to bench anybody yet? >> we have two guys in there that did not make grades last spring. >> reporter: so far this year, no one has been benched. and the sticker program is just one reason. >> these matters. >> you know what matters? your heart for the team. >> reporter: for the san jose bulldogs the season is only half over. there's more time to score touchdowns and earn more of those academic stickers. [ laughter ] >> reporter: in san rafael, don ford, kpix 5. as we mentioned we are inside levi's stadium while our colleague veronica de la cruz is outside at our social media hot spot. hey, veronica! >> reporter: hey, liz. that is right. we are here in the kpix 5 social media hot spot doing, what else, getting social. i have made a couple of friends

i want you to meet. hey, guys! >> hey!! >> reporter: the name of the game, of course is, what social media platform do you use the most and why? you use. >> snapchat. >> i was right. instagram? >> yeah. [ laughter ] >> all right. who uses be? >> whoo! [ laughter ] >> who uses twitter! >> snapchat? >> whoo! >> instagram! >> whoo! >> so we're asking you with which one do you use the most and why? tweet me now at #veronicadlcruz is the place we'll have poll results on bay area nightbeat; come join us at 10:00 on our sister station, kbcw 44/cable 12. a special simulcast on both kpix 5 and kbcw and in the meantime i think these folks are ready for some football. right? >> yeah!! >> whoo! >> all right. so if you are on snapchat this is my buddy over here. connect with us. take a picture of this and connect with us on snapchat. see you on nightbeat. liz, back to you.

>> sounds good. we need to get a snapchat account. >> we should. veronica is our social media guru back at the station. >> all of that stuff. >> and twitter and snapchat and facebook and space book and all of them. thank you, veronica. >> and instagram. [ laughter ] we have been talking football, of course, out here at levi's stadium. of course the giants last night what a game. they are just getting started on their play-off run. let's talk golden state warriors for just a second. tonight the warriors will be playing the sacramento kings right across town at the s.a.p. center in san jose. it's only an exhibition game but it will be interesting. steph curry is on the court. his wife though will be cheering on the 49ers. >> she is picking up something very special with michael nina with our kpix 5's betty yu. check it out. >> reporter: i'm here with cookbook author and chef ayesha curry at the tailgate party at

the international food pop-up standing in front of a huge [ indiscernible ] >> isn't this incredible? >> impressive. >> i would like to say that i did this all by myself but i absolutely had no hand in this right here. >> reporter: but i feel like your flavors are infused throughout this. [ overlapping speakers ] >> i have been walking around all day. amazing pot of meat. >> reporter: it was cooked right behind us. >> right here in this giant rotisserie which is insane. [ overlapping speakers ] >> to take this apart, get the meat on the carving table you have to use this. >> so i have to try this. what is this sauce? >> isn't that yummy? >> kind of no boundaries, eated, drink, see a football

game and hopefully always. >> and they win. >> hopefully always. [ laughter ] >> somebody mentioned rotisserie and that was enough for me. and i can smell it now, popcorn, hot dogs, barbecue weather. >> paul is down in the parking lot. paul deanno, i got to imagine that there are a lot of different tailgates going on, paul. how do you pick the best food? did you make your way from right to left, left to right? how's it work? >> you just sample everything. >> okay. >> you just sample everything. the wind is coming from this direction from my back. so here's the deal. you just go hit the 25 different barbecues that are in that direction because they all smell good. the weather is perfect. 60s, 70s, 80s throughout the bay area. a breeze will kick up a north wind throughout the evening but a north wind is a dry wind for us and also warm.

we are heading toward a few low 90s toward the weekend. right now it's anywhere from 68 in san francisco to 80 in livermore n between we find 77 comfortable degrees in san jose. santa rosa 79. oakland 75. 49ers forecast the game now just about one hour away taking on the cardinals as you know. sunshine, 75 degrees for kickoff. we are looking at temperatures cooling into the 60s. should be a beautiful night for football. a little bit breezy. advantage kicker facing his back to the north. because the wind will be going from north to south. overnight lows tonight 40s. santa rosa 45. napa 48. concord 49. san francisco tonight 53. pacifica 52. it's sunny. there's a big ridge of high pressure. it will come closer tomorrow closest on saturday. those will be the two warmest days of the next several tomorrow and saturday seeing 80s and 90s inland, 70s and 80s near the bay. so tonight, it will be clear, cool. we'll warm up into the weekend with temperatures hitting their

peak on saturday. but next week, things change. storms to our north now look like they will be close enough to give us a chance of rain next wednesday. but tomorrow is friday wrapping up the week, hopefully basking in the glow a 49ers of a 49ers victory. concord 86 degrees tomorrow. as i said the warmest day will be saturday. low 90s inland, low 80s near the bay and even a couple low 70s right along the coastline. we begin to cool down on sunday. more cooling on monday. by tuesday we are cloudy with highs only in the 70s inland. there is a chance especially in the north bay of a few rain showers coming up next wednesday and thursday. we are back out here live one hour from kickoff. tailgate! you can watch the game right here on kpix 5. it is a festive atmosphere outside of levi's stadium. and the weather is absolutely cooperating. we are back in two minutes with more news. ,,,,,,,,,,

they prey on our children, spending billions. addicting 17,000 california kids each year. eventually killing one-third of them. now tobacco companies are spending millions to... defeat prop 56. because in every state that's raised tobacco taxes, smoking rates go down. so who are you going to trust? pediatricians, cancer groups and the califronia pta who all... support prop 56. or the tobacco companies trying to kill it. vote yes on 56. are about 24 hours a welcome back, everybody, to levi's stadium.

we are about an hour away from kickoff between the 49ers and the arizona cardinals. while the san francisco giants are about 24 hours away from first pitch in chicago against the cubs. now, the giants were set to speak with the media and have a workout at wrigley field around 2:00 today. but their plane was about an hour late to the windy city and, ha, can you blame 'em? there was a lot of celebration in new york last night after conor gillaspie's three-run home run into the ninth took them into the division series. he was drafted by the giants in 2008 and says his attitude today much better than it was then. >> i let the happiness of my life and the happiness of relationships with people i care about, that was all based on what i did in the game. and, um, when i went home last year in september, i thought about that. i said, you know what? there's absolutely no reason to let my happiness depend on whether i get a hit or not.

>> giants and cubs game one tomorrow. back here in santa clara, the 49ers have devastating news. navorro bowman out for the season with a torn achilles. but some news will soften that blow a little bit. with the return of pass rusher aaron lynch back into the 9er line-up. he was suspended for four games after violating the league's substance abuse policy. his return should help san francisco. they have only seven sacks this season. lynch lost 30 pounds trying to get back into football shape. >> aaron, why weren't you in shape? >> i don't know. obviously, i don't know why i got "pregnant." i was eating a lot for her. i wasn't careful with my diet. i was eating whatever. and then it went up and i felt it on the field. so got to get it down. sure hasn't been great for the 49ers so far. but consider the cardinals, who

are 10-1 odds to win the super bowl this year. arizona is off to a bad 1-3 start and according to the receiver larry fitzgerald, some of their fans are already off the bandwagon. >> i drive down the street and i remember, like, seeing people in the garages and they have the cardinals flags out, and some of the flags are down now. that's disappointing, man. [ laughter ] >> but we have to do our job and make those people put those flags back up so i mean, um, we have to do a better job. >> reporter: palmer out with a concussion drew stanton the quarterback for arizona tonight. more coming up. ,, we can't go back to the years of devastating cuts to public education. exactly why i urge you to vote yes on prop 55. prop 55 prevents $4 billion in new education cuts without raising taxes on anyone. and there's strict accountability in prop 55.

with local control over school funding decisions. and mandatory annual audits guaranteeing the money goes directly to our classrooms. not to bureaucracy, not to administration. so vote yes on 55. because it helps our children thrive.

coming up next on kpix 5, it is thursday night football! the 9ers will be hosting the cardinals. pregame, sit right where you are, it's a couple of minutes away starting at 4:30. kickoff at 5:25 right here on kpix 5. >> and that's it for kpix 5 news at 4:00. join us at 10:00 for a simulcast of nightbeat here on kpix 5 and kbcw 44/cable 12. >> fleet week, the blue angels are going to buzz us here tonight. >> and it's the 9ers. >> see you tonight at 11. captions by: caption colorado comments@captioncolorado.com ,,,,,,,,,,
