more to come. nearly every room is covered in fallen items here, and she tells me thanks to coding regulations, part of her day care was saved. >> the daycare rules of having shelves fastened to the wall, you know, that was a big blessing. >> and that was holmes at-home daycare. she is grateful no one else in her family was injured. reed ? >> leslie thank you , and welcome to the team. pg& e tell us there are 70,000+ households in the dark with the oncoming storm, including an entire native american reservation. power could be out for another 24 hours. a ferndale homeowner shared the mess in her house after the quake hit, meanwhile. our reporter spoke with her about the big jolt that also knocked out the power. >> things were crashing down

friend this year as we have been traveling around and telling your stories and your communities more. leslie, some had just told us things have widely changed. >> we are seeing a heartbreaking level of need in the community, right. as you mentioned, we just got in our november numbers, and we served 488,000 people. and that is close to the number of the height of the pandemic for us . when we look at our financial donations, unfortunately, they are down 37%, versus two years ago, when we were serving the same number of people. at the same time, all our clients are being faced with inflation . so this is really challenging time for local food banks, and we are so reliant on community support. >> i just want to pin that down. you are saying almost half 1 million people were served just in the month of november, when we were out buying turkey and gravy and potato and stuffing? that many

in one month? >> that's right. people are still struggling to recover from months of loss in the pandemic. if you are a low income household, food, fuel , energy, it's a huge part of your budget. people are struggling on rent, grocery bills, and putting food on the table. >> we are seeing the face of hunger changing. i've been able to go to some of these food banks and listen to the call centers, and the need is real or single dads. single moms, calling and saying, how do i get a meal in front of my kids by 4:00 to 5:00, today? they have that very real need appeared some of them are calling from their own cars. so let's talk numbers, now that we've talked people. how much do you need to raise to continue to work? how can people make their donations stretch even further? i understand you had many people step forward that way. >> that's right, for every dollar donated we matched up to $1 million. this is our largest fundraising time of year. november and december

numbers are down considerably versus a year ago, so we appreciate people stepping up to do what you can. if you can make a financial donation to your local food bank, please do so. we are very dependent on volunteer support as well. >> if you think i don't have enough, like the drummer boy son, i don't have a lot to offer, if you have one dollar, if you look at that one dollar in your pocket, that one dollar buys two meals in our community. with this match , am i doing the math right, leslie? >> that's right. this is a really powerful time to double your impact. >> fantastic, leslie, thank you so much. it was an honor to work with you. we encourage our viewers to watch leslie and her team today at 4:00 in a very important special if you would like to donate your money or time, scan the qr code on your screen or visit kpix.com/give . and we want to highlight at

4:00, today, if you want to see goodness in your community, if you have felt down this time of year, we want to introduce you to your neighbors and show you all your hard work and love to give back. our 4:00 special is something you have to sit down with your loved ones and watch and then share online. if you want a dose of hope we have that for you. more than 800 families received the gift of a christmas meal through the bay area rescue mission. stephanie, there, says before the pandemic, their nonprofit gave out 60,000 meals a month just in november, in richmond, that number was closer to 170,000. she says the goal is to lift spirits during tough times through food. >> people are struggling, financially. poverty in this area, especially in the richmond area is so massive that we don't want them to go without a great christmas meal. we are about bringing joy.

>> it is called boxes of hope, and here's what's in them. families received a ham or turkey, and all the fixings, beans, rice, potatoes, cranberry sauce. first alert weather now. parts of the bay area are seeing hazy skies today. the view from oakland and san jose, or cameras catching that there, i call it soupy. i think paul heggen has a better term. >> i would say smoky with smoke and fire places becoming trapped in the atmosphere. you will still see that haze onthe horizon the next few days, but it won't be as prevalent. weather headlines now, as we get closer to christmas weekend. hazy sun and clouds, kind of a mix of sun and clouds, we should be dry and wednesday, but there's a chance of showers. thursday night into friday, the best chance will be north of the golden gate. everyone has at least got a chance of picking up rainfall and any drops that follow the atmosphere would scrub some of the chimney smoke from the

atmosphere. we will get to christmas in a moment, but let's talk about that chance of showers. tonight, we will she see shower activity remain , clouds will increase through wednesday night into thursday. so, more clouds and sunshine are likely, thursday, but we get through most of the day dry. we will freeze the maps at 5:00. we will see showers scooting through the bay , and the more substantial moisture will be hanging around the coast. corporal in thursday evening and thursday night. it will be brief and light. but, this is more optimistic than previous forecast models in terms of how widespread the showers will be. we will take what we can get. we will see showers going into friday morning, just an unsettled pattern. most of the day should be dry, but we will see at least a chance of showers continuing on friday before we dry out over christmas. modest improvements to air quality, we did have unhealthy air for sensitive groups, but today we should be in a moderate category through the rest of the work week and weekend. we

will keep an eye along that timeline as well as the roads. trouble spots tomorrow with an emerging storm system will be twin cities, maybe denver, getting up in the snow trouble. that system will strengthen as it advances further east. all that east coast rain, snow from chicago to st. louis, and, this system will cause big problems for those east coast travel hubs on friday, with a major storm strengthening and sending all kinds of wintry weather towards the eastern seaboard. friday's travel forecast is a busy one. we are talking rain and snow from washington, d.c., rain and snow and wind around philadelphia and newark, chicago will be windy, atlanta, and new york will receive plenty of wind and rain as well. it will be challenging. please be patient and do what you can to be on time. as we look out at the salesforce tower, we are seeing 30 is,

that fog dissipated enough to allow the sun to come through. high temperatures tomorrow, very close to it's normal for this time of year. some spots or even a degree or two above normal. nice to see 60s on the map, inland into the santa clara valley. but, most temperatures are topping out in the 50s. we will have to wait a few days for that really warm air. then we have a dry christmas weekend with temperatures in the low to mid 60s for the entire bay area even upper 60s in the north bay. in the last day of the seven-day forecast brings a better chance of more widespread rain beginning a much more active weather pattern that should carry us into 2023. >> thanks so much. time for the red and gold report. two safeties are a decade apart in age, but as charlie walters shows, they have forged a very strong bond. >> this is the red and gold

report from kpix 5 and cbs news bay area. >> time now for your red and gold report . the 49ers defense has been tops in the league this season. safeties have anchored by deshawn gibson and in the league with 400 four interceptions, but it should have been five. he did not blame it on the popcorn, he blamed the other safety. gibson, for the drop. >> he took the juice away. before the play, he took my hands. sometimes you don't have the best hands, you become the guy asking for the hands.
