from cbs news bay area, this is the afternoon edition. >> entire neighborhoods buried in mud and debris, hospital patients evacuated after a backup, the mess in southern california after hilary and the creative ways first responders are helping. hundreds of people still missing following the devastating and deadly wildfires in maui, how san francisco firefighters are answering the call for help. >> we just couldn't sit here and watch. he was one of the only few students taught by dr. martin

luther king jr., how he has dedicated his life to civil rights in the bay area, and what he is fighting for now. good afternoon, i'm ryan yamamoto, tropical storm hilary rewriting the record books and leading devastation in the wake of it. let's get over to anne makovec, we are also learning about very tense moments at a southern california hospital. >> reporter: and of course this is on top of all the trouble from tropical storm hilary, a major power outage forcing hundreds of patients to evacuate from a los angeles hospital. this happened at white memorial hospital specialty care unit, the generators didn't immediately kick in yesterday but they failed overnight with no power, more than 200 patients were forced to get out, that included several people on ventilators and 14 babies with no working elevators, firefighters had to physically bring people down and during the blackout, one mother gave birth. >> the supervising nurses were there, the physicians were

attending and what they ended up doing was putting together a bunch of flashlights and shining them up at the ceiling and illuminating the room so there was plenty of light. >> reporter: the baby is doing fine, as for the patients, those in critical condition were taken to other hospitals. no deaths or any major medical events to report. in the meantime, other parts of socal are dealing with major cleanup after hilary , crews clearing out massive boulders that fell between san diego and imperial counties. mud is still covering the road in palm springs. and take a look at this, rescue workers had to use front loaders to help people who were trapped inside of their homes, you can see young kids sitting in the bucket, this is in cathedral city. they were able to rescue 46 people. another family was stranded on the roof as debris rushed through the

roadways. >> in a matter of three minutes, my whole bottom floor was filled up with water to waist level. we did make it to safety by a good samaritan. somebody passing by and picking us up. >> reporter: people have begun the long process of digging out and cleaning up, caltrans said maintenance crews were working around the clock as they cleared roadways and floodwaters, mudslides, rocks and other things left from the storm, so people should expect to see road closures for a while before these roadways are cleared. >> as for the baby that was born, any idea whether it was a boy or girl? >> i have no idea. >> if it was a girl, they have to name it hilary, right? record rain falls in august were broken in some spots, this is the monitor map, showing most of southern california out

of drought conditions, this has not happened in years. it likely didn't do much to improve our water supplies. >> most of the reservoirs in the state are in very good shape, that is because of this wet winter and spring that we had. and this one storm moving the through very quickly, not terribly significant. and important to keep in mind, the states larger reservoirs are in northern california. >> it could also impact fire season, but it is likely to trigger growth of more vegetation. brian, it was a lot of record rain, as you were talking about yesterday, but the reservoirs out here, at least we didn't need that help, at least right now. >> no, the reservoirs are doing very well, we are carrying all of los angeles's water supply, and two thirds of the states water falls in a third of the

state, but down south, the reservoirs are doing just fine. after the unusually wet winter that we had, fulsome is at 137% of average. the reservoirs look good. at the same time, the headline with the weather now is going to be the heat. the heat index for today, we are going to use antioch for example, this afternoon antioch will top out at 90 degrees and that puts us in the elevated heat risk. as for today, for tomorrow it is going to climb even higher and that is going to take us into a high heat risk for antioch where the numbers flirt with about 100 degrees. so, this is tomorrow. not good for the east bay, it is going to be warm. but here is the good news, by the time we get to thursday, we will drop the heat risk, and the clouds return, we will get a better sea breeze and the numbers begin to cool. so we have a heat spike in the bay

area for tomorrow. just for wednesday. things will begin to cool down. we will have continuing coverage on air and online and streaming on cbs news bay area. and while southern california is recovering from hilary, now tropical storm harold is plowing through texas. in addition to up to seven inches of rain, harold could also bring tornadoes. 11,000 people still without power. turning to the wildfire disaster on the island of maui, firefighters from san francisco left this morning to help with the recovery efforts. they are a part of the asian firefighters association. the group is going on their own vacation time, as humanitarian volunteers. >> the tragedy happened, and we couldn't sit here and watch. we wanted to do something. even if it is not as firefighters, we are just going up there, originally we were just going

to do the food bank, the shelters, we will probably do that, too. whatever they need us to do. >> they will be in lahaina for at least a week, and they will also join more than 1000 federal personnel on the ground in maui including 450 search and rescue experts. the death toll stands at 115 but hundreds of people are still missing. kristi and her dog canyon are one of 40 cadaver dog teens sifting through those the remains. >> we hate that this has happened to these people but we are very passionate about getting answers for as many families as we can. >> hoping to bring closure for a lot of those families. in the meantime, president biden and the first lady toward the fire damage yesterday, they have provided at least $8.2 million in federal aid. back home, the mayor is back from a trip to vietnam for trade, and she

said having a partnership with vietnam could enhance opportunities for the city. >> we always talk about how we invest more resources, whether to our parks, public safety or other things in our city, the basic needs. this is one way of doing that, to increase our economy and increase the resources. >> the mayor said the port of oakland signed two agreements, the first want to foster new investments and trade between vietnam and oakland, the other is in agreement with the leading chemical and tech manufacturer, and she talked about bringing a new international route to oakland airport. nordstrom will close their flagship downtown san francisco store, that will happen this sunday. the store has been an anchor since 1988, a spokesperson blamed the closing on the changing dynamics of downtown. it is inside westfield center, and westfield stopped paying the lease on the mall. they started the process of transferring control back to the lender. today, mayor london

breed talked to a business group about her vision for that space. >> as things evolve, how do we come up with the most creative ideas to transform san francisco in a way that can get people excited? and i go back to this in terms of a soccer stadium. in the heart of downtown. and what that could mean, not just soccer at concerts, activities, events, how do we make san francisco downtown more than a financial district? with housing and all kinds of other spaces, not as a ghost town at night. >> shawn chitnis was at westfield today and spoke to people who work at that mall. >> i would like to see more improvement into the area, i feel like people still come down here. >> reporter: tyler king has been working at the mall for more than a year and he loves it, he commutes from the east bay to come here from the city each week. >> i just want to invest in it more, it is a great space. >> reporter: he hopes the mall will stay open well after

nordstrom leaves next week. >> it hasn't been too crazy, foot traffic is down a little bit. >> reporter: westfield announced they are transferring management to its lender so someone else could start operating the mall, that started the conversation around the city about what else the space could be used for. >> my personal thing, i would expect to see housing. >> reporter: san francisco's mayor is encouraging creative thinking with this space and for tyler, he understands that the drop in sales and occupancy cannot be ignored. >> at the end of the day, business is business, if you are not making money, it doesn't make sense. >> part of the challenge that people aren't coming back to work five days a week, the community needs to make adjustments and reimagine what neighborhoods could actually look like. coming up, we are checking in with a bay area civil rights icon who is still fighting for

change 60 years after hearing dr. king speak at the march on washington. a very large bay area conservation group changed their name to distance themselves from

the strike has made its way to the bay area, this was the scene outside of its headquarters in los gatos. there are rallies taking place

all across the country on today's national day of solidarity. they joined the hollywood writers who have been on strike since may. both groups are asking for higher pay from streaming projects, the studio has maintained they made a fair offer. in the east bay, nearly 500 employees have reached an agreement with the teamsters union, integrated with raises for bus drivers, custodians and food service workers. august 28th marks the 60th anniversary on the march on washington for jobs and freedom, and all week we are going to bring you stories of the civil rights activist who marched that day back in 1963. we begin with a bay area luminary, a student of dr. martin luther king jr., he says, he knew his purpose in

life as a young teen, and we asked him about the time leading up to that march on washington. >> here is my mug shot. >> dr. brown displays one of his mug shots that marks his work as one of northern california's civil rights pioneers. he's also one of eight students who attended the only class dr. martin luther king jr. taught at morehouse. a historically black college in georgia, the epicenter of the civil rights movement. >> i have one of his handwritten notes from that seminar. >> what he taught was moved to mirror, taking his notes on the page to a living struggle for civil rights on the stage of history. >> when we gathered in washington, it was an unusual experience of seeing so many people who were peaceful, respectful and determined to be

about the business, working for jobs, justice and peace. >> on that day, the young amos brown caught the spirit, setting him on the firm foundation of his life's mission. >> we didn't have the time to come with hate in our minds, in our bones and our veins, we came as people of the spirit. >> adding, that this has always been his calling. >> it's the responsibility of bearing the burdens of our people, god is going to use you to do great things. >> and decades later, dr. brown teaches that to deal with the dream, you must deal with reality. he's one of northern california's biggest proponents of reparations, he's leading the charge to see people wronged be paid.

>> when it came to the payment, of what america allowed us, the cost of that crime that was committed against our humanity. >> and something you said last time we spoke was, you are not going to stop until you can't anymore. are you tired? >> no. i have unlimited wells that i drink from , wells that were created from my ancestors. >> and this friday, watch our stream for a special presentation, still marching, celebrating 60 years since the march on washington, that is at 7:00 pm friday on cbs news bay area. golden gate audubon society voted to change the name to the

golden gate bird alliance, they hope by removing the name, that will make the group more inclusive and accessible. this comes after the national organization acknowledged that john audubon enslaved african americans, the national organization said they are going to keep their name. an air quality advisory for the bay area has been extended through tomorrow due to wildfire smoke, we have our first alert forecast and brian, smoky air and hazy skies, also very muggy outside. >> it is very muggy, and down below, beautiful day. actually, if you look at where we are breathing this stuff, the air quality looks pretty good. but, there is smoke coming down. we will show you that in a minute. do you see this circulation here? that is not hilary, that is a tropical storm that predated hilary, set up shop off the bay area and sat there for two weeks , those are the remains of eugene that are

heading up to the northeast. now that we have dispensed with that, we get one day of warm weather in the bay area, that will be tomorrow. everything else is drying up. the forecast does show, this is tomorrow morning at 2:30 a.m., you will see, some of the smoke gets caught up in the airflow, but it is the upper airflow and it's not going to affect us much on the ground. and by the time we get to later in the day, it gets swept up in the region by a plunging of the pacific northwest. right now it is all green except these are air stations that just aren't working. you can see everybody else has good air-quality. nevertheless, there is an air quality. from mount hamilton, you can see all of the hazy skies. it is a sunny day, it is a warm day, not as warm as it is going to be tomorrow. concord is at 84 right now and that will turn into 94. even as

the numbers came up today, it is warmer today than it was yesterday, the 24 hour difference, it is 10 degrees warmer in livermore and 10 degrees warmer in san jose. it is a sunnier day today. the warmest day of the week is tomorrow. as the high pressure is building over the bay area, the sea breeze isn't quite kicking in yet, tomorrow temperatures top out near 100 degrees in lynn, then we will begin to cool off as another low sets up shop in the bay area. the time-lapse shows some low clouds along the shoreline, so by thursday we will begin to cool down with the return of the marine layer. so, tomorrow is hot and the rest of the week will be cool as we move into the latter half of the week. tonight will be in the mid 60s. tomorrow will be warm. the warmest day, 90 at sunnyvale, 91 in fremont. in the east bay we will be pretty close to 100 degrees. 97 in concord. up in the north bay near 90 degrees,
