. now at 11:00. she walked the steps of san francisco city hall for 20 years. bay area veteran whose survival story was so spectacular it inspired a hollywood film. >> i sat on the bomb. >> you sat on the atomic bomb? >> meteorologist by day, army pilot by night. well prepared for a flight with the blue angels, the rest of us, not so much. from kpix, this is the late news with sara donchey on cbs news bay area. hi, i'm sara donchey. did you feel it? summer is here just a few weeks too late. it

was a hot one today along the coast, tomorrow we are doing it all over again. paul, i know things are expected to get warmer over the next few days, that is good news for fleet week. over the years, visibility has been less than ideal. >> yes. the temperatures less than a deal. cold, breezy, foggy conditions last year. but on friday, the blue angel show was good that day last year. we have hot conditions, a heat advisory for areas around the bay, peninsula, into the mountains and in the santa clara valley. not the hottest temperatures we have seen across the bay area but the farthest above average. what is expected this time of the year. that is kind of a shock to the system when we are in early october. it will feel more like august, so, i guess, "aug-tober weather is r" weather will be

with us. inland and the east bay, topping out in the upper 80s. upper 80s in redwood city, and half-moon bay, 81 degrees, made it into the 80s in san francisco, oakland, likely the same again tomorrow. the temperatures inland in the north bay, well above average, even got up to 95 degrees in santa rosa this afternoon. not record setting but, again, well above what is normal. compare tomorrow's high temperatures to what is normal for this time of the year. and, a good 10-15 degrees warmer. we will look at how long it will last coming up in the full forecast. >> paul, thank you very much. well, she walked these steps as a san francisco city leader for almost 20 years, as 10 of them, the first female mayor. returning to city hall for one last time to lie in state and the steady treatment of mourners who said to say their good-byes is a testament to her legacy. nancy pelosi was closely connected to feinstein for decades and one of the

first people to pay tribute to her long time friend. she is expected to give her eulogy. >> we are in the same place on the political spectrum, we had our fun with it all but from a personal standpoint, my family loved her, we were good neighbors, good friends, my daughter, nancy, we teased and said if di and i were running against each other we are sure nancy would vote for dianne feinstein. . >> dr. fauci was there, he worked closely with her in the 1980s. >> reporter: the exit procession was supposed to happen at 7:00 p.m. there were so many people lined up, paying their respects to the late senator they tried to accommodate to the best of their ability. >> reporter: the late senator's

casket was carried out with the american flag draped over it. sheriff deputies lined up, family members as she was carried out. then, the procession followed. several police officers on their motorcycles led the way. representative nancy pelosi was here outside and got into a car afterwards. long lines throughout the evening. many people coming after work if they knew the late senator or not people in san francisco respected her and felt inspired by her. the longest serving senator in u.s. history, the first female mayor. the words used to describe her included trailblazer, strong. we met a couple of people who paid their respects and wrote in the condolences book. they wanted to come here because of the work she has done for san francisco and the snogs dianne feinstein was a legend in san francisco and for the country. pioneer in terms of the work around hiv/aids, something that i cared deeply about. >> she has continued to give back to the community in a way

that, you know, today's society is so conflicted and she has found a way to create balance and work between different group that have opposing viewpoints. hard to describe exactly what you felt being inside. there was a lot of sadness, there was a lot of gratitude for what senator feinstein has done for the city of san francisco and the nation. [singing] . the gayman's chorus paying tribute to the "star spangled banner." the funeral will no longer be open to the public. they announce today in the last few hours because of increased security the mayor and vice president will be among the speakers with a recorded message from president biden. we will have live coverage of that service starting at 12:30 tomorrow afternoon on pix plus, 44 cable 12 and streaming on

cbs news bay area. if you have an appointment as r at kaiser you better check that it is still on, tonight. >> so, the reason why you want to check those appointments, tens of thousands of workers walked off of the job in the biggest health care strike in u.s. history. andrea nakano is here t was supposed to be a three day strike but it sounds like it will be longer before the issues behind it are resolved >> that is right. both sides were bargaining. >> reporter: it has stopped for now. the union says they are ready to go again wherever kaiser is ready to get back to the table. meantime, patients are already feeling the impact. >> reporter: kaiser workers were making sure they were heard and seen as they kicked off the biggest strike of health care workers in american

history. but it is where they weren't that their message might be hitting hardest. >> i had an order to pick up, antibiotic, i was expecting to have a smooth, stays open until 6:00, i got in there and they said they were closing at 5:00 today. under staffed due to the strike. >> reporter: megan was one of few lucky customers in san jose who managed to get her prescriptions filled. others were turned away. >> i did not get to walk inside. the guy stopped me. pharmacy? yep, we close at 5:00 p.m. sharp, sorry. >> reporter: kaiser closed some of the pharmacies or in this case shortened the hours. 75,000 workers walked off of the job. their members of the coalition of kaiser unions and they include pharmacists, therapists, technicians and others. doctors and nurses are not part of this strike. at issue, it is the pay. for me, personally, inflation has gone up so much and cost of living has gone up so much. we have

not had a cost of living raise. i have two master's and i make $30 an hour. >> what we are asking for right now is staffing. we are having a hard time with staffing, short staffed all over the place.. >> we had a lot of people leave the industry during covid and they have not replaced those workers. we still have been behind ever since. >> reporter: most of the striking workers are here in california kaiser workers walked off of the job in several states, hospitals, ers are open with temporary workers to keep things running. even the people who were surprised to see their san jose pharmacy closed say they sympathize with the workers. >> hopefully the workers get what they are working for. it is unfortunate. people that need our prescription drugs or any kind of care. >> it is unfortunate that the union is not getting their needs met. i understand that as a worker myself. so i understand their point of view.. >> reporter: kaiser told us they have been able to reach a

deal on wages and benefits but there is obviously some work to do with the staffing levels. >> yeah, obviously. that was a primary concern. so, i know there is some help that has arrived in this situation. >> some help. the acting labor secretary is in california tonight, julie sue is trying to help move the talks forward. we will see what kind of impact she might be able to have.. >> all right, thank you, we will be watching. a bay area veteran was just a teenager when he survived a ship disaster so big it inspired a hollywood movie. >> i was not hurt. i was not hurt at all but memories, you know. a lot of guys i helped in the water that were hurt. he tells us about a very close encounter with one of the most secretive projects in american history. did you see white streaks in the sky today? people

spotted them all over the bay area and wondering what they are. the answer might creep you out if you have a certain phobia. one of these people is freak out and the other is jessica berch. she got to fly with the blue angels. my run with a stunt pilot did not go as smoothly. something to look forward to for the end of the show, for you, not for me. i am not looking forward to it.

. fleet week. a navy veteran survived one of the most harrowing experiences of world war ii, sometimes the effort to survive itself can be an act of . >> the war was over it was the indianapolis, if you know what happened to that ship it is probably because of one scene in a very famous movie. >> reporter: an american flag flies over the home of harold brey. at 96, he is a patriotic

veteran. paintings and memorabilia from the only ship he ever sailed aboard. the uss indianapolis. it was 1945 and he was 17 and just left boot camp. >> when you shipped out did anybody have any idea that they were going to have this really important mission? >> it was just a trip out of maryland. took a bunch of kids and i was one of them. >> reporter: the ship left carrying a secret weapon. the most secret weapon of all. the first atomic bottom nicknamed little boy. >> i tell you what, i sat on the box. it was on the deck. >> you sat on the atomic bomb? >> yeah. >> reporter: the cargo was delivered safely but it is what happened afterwards that people remember the indianapolis for. all thanks to a gripping scene

in the movie "jaws." >> you were on the indianapolis? >> what happened? >> japanese submarine slammed two torpedoes into our side chief. 1100 men went into the water. the vessel went down in 12 minutes. >> i don't know how i got so lucky. i just hit the side and swam away from the ship. hollered for guys. i just happened to find a raft. and i got aboard, 18 guys on my raft, they were fighting each other for the room on the raft. i am not going there, i will hang on somebody hanging on to the raft. that is what i did. >> we formed ourselves in tight groups, lost 100 men. i don't know how many sharks, maybe 1,000, i don't know how many men >> it was a bad experience. there was nothing good about

it. every time you look around somebody was gone. the sharks, they were there. that was a terrible scene, sharks, seeing young guys that got attacked. >> out of a crew of nearly 1200, only 318 survived. because the mission was secret no distress signal was sent. they were in the water for five days when a plane happened to spot the men and they were picked up and taken to a hospital on guam. >> i was not hurt, i was not hurt at all but for memories. a lot of guys i helped in the water that were hurt. >> it has not been easy. harold says he thinks about it nearly every day. later he came home, became a police officer

and raised a family. his wife, stephanie, says he still never talked about it to anyone. >> when "jaws" came out, the movie, they were talking about it at the police department. he happened to be in the room heed i was on that ship. and that was the first, you know, that they ever knew. >> reporter: but then the survivors began planning reunions and it helped for them to be around people who truly understood. >> and healing, too, for them. because, they had been instructed by the navy go home and forget about it. don't even talk about it. his parents never knew. >> time, of course, has taken a toll on the crew. when a fellow shipmate passed away, harold became the sole remaining survivor. in july he was thanked for his service to his town & country with a life-size bronze statue of that young sailor fresh out of boot camp. >> do you feel like you are a

hero? >> no. >> i saved myself. i helped a lot of guys but, that was the thing to do. you live with them, and i did not do anything spectacular. >> reporter: my father fought in world war ii, like harold, he rarely talked about it. he said you did not talk about it because you don't know what the guy on the barstool next to you went through. i think he meant a guy like harold brey. >> the navy next asked him to sail again. to this day he is not comfortable on the water. he has been invited as a special guest for the fleet week parade of ships but he said he will stay on land to view it. as we send it over to paul on the virtual reality set, paul, if you are on the water or land it will be a good view because the weather will cooperate, of course, we have to be mindful of the heat the next couple of days. >> yes. warm, even at the

waterfront. the same system, certainly we respect his desire to stay on land it got him through the last 78 years it will get him through a little longer. the change in the weather that kicked in with the temperatures in upper 80s and 90s inland and 80s around the bay. we are going to see the temperatures continuing to warm up, again, tomorrow, and then hovering in place on friday before we back down on saturday. still, with all of that sunshine over head we will be in full electricity generation mode across the bay area. full capacity this time today and same on thursday with a backing off on friday with a touch of fog to begin the day. not having an impact by friday afternoon. more on that in a second. let's take a look at current temperatures, we are in the 60s and the 70s. later on tonight, that is when our temperatures back down to the lower to middle 60s. the coolest spots, dropping down to the upper 50s. above average,

we are at least cooling off. longer nighttime hours allow us to recover from the day time heat. speaking of which, take a look at the temperatures for tomorrow afternoon. reaching up into the middle 90s in the santa clara valley. maybe up in the lower 90s today. building on that tomorrow. temperatures in the 90s for fremont, temperatures half-moon bay, a degree or two warmer than today. maybe similar to where you were today. around 80 degrees or so. it is warm for folks without air-conditioning. 80s in oakland, they are not record setting, though, the records are in the 90s, 100 degrees and you will be in the lower 90s in the north bay and the east bay. the temperatures just are not exceptional for this time of the year, they are hot and above normal for this time of the year, though. let's take a look at what we will deal with in terms of the fire threat. the temperatures will be hot. the humidity levels are going to be pretty low. especially in the north bay mountains heading into tonight

and tomorrow morning, not much recovery to the humidity. it is usually what we expect overnight, the temperatures cooler, see the numbers, around 25%, when they are at the highest, then, humidity levels drop as the temperatures heat up. relative humidity levels in the 15-20% range for most inland parts of the bay area. low, but it is not critically low. you are not looking at off the charts fire threat, just something we have to monitor. not off of the charts because we will not have the gusty winds to go along with the low humidity values. let's take a look at the seven-day forecast. it is going to bring us into our extended time frame here. let's go with the seven-day outlook. showing the temperatures that will be hot as we head through the first half of the weekend with the temperatures reaching up into the middle 90s through saturday, inland, then, backing down as we hit the second half of the weekend and into early next week. it will be really very nice weather for the blue angels display. bayside, plenty of sunshine for friday and saturday, the one time, clouds

may come into play. it will be sunday. we are not having fun with this 3d stuff, and then we will have more cloud cover building in by monday and tuesday next week. outside chance of a couple of showers in the forecast by monday night into tuesday. it is only in the 30-40% range. best chance is north of the golden gate. something we will keep an eye on. enjoy the warmth. along the coast you don't get it often. >> i thought somebody was pushing like a cart through the studio because of the jet sound. >> you got to have sound effects to go with the fancy stuff. >> yes, just warn me next time, okay [ laughter ] i was ducking for cover. i was confused. okay. thank you, paul. people in the bay area reporting weird streaks in the sky. they have nothing to do with the blue angels or anything else with wings. try eight legs, vern? ahead, four baseball teams moving on in the playoffs. game plan day for the 49ers who have

a quarterback looking for a little respect. mayb

. all right, niners on top of the world. there is a small mountain ahead of them. >> yes, just a little bit. this series with the cowboys, the record is 19-19-1. so, sunday night's game, going to push somebody over the edge. all right, game plan for the 9ers is in. now they have to refine it. cowboys and four nights, purdy, doubters are dropping. two touchdowns in 300 yard games expected. since becoming the 49ers quarterback last december purdy is yet to lose a game he has started and finished. can you believe there is still a few, though, lingering "i need to see more" critics. he has a lot of all pros as weapons and he is a product of shanahan's offense, coach disagrees >> it is ridiculous. just got to watch the tape. he plays at a high-level every time he has been out there. he has done it in a lot of different situations, versus a lot of

different defenses on the road, at home, playoff games, when injured. he does, you can not do all of that stuff. he has been out there too long it is on tape. baseball, giants fans, rangers manager, bruce bochy, did he tell his players "finish him"? now, like in tampa, look what he did. hit a sixth inning rbi double. rangers took game one and eliminated the rays in game two, 7-1 the final in the best of three wild card round. next, is baltimore in the al divisional round. i am going to show you what paul heggen and our producer have in common. the twins kept it rolling on the bluejays, bases loaded fourth inning single here. opening up the scoring and kicked the door in. heggen and kennedy are huge twin fans, they have waited 21 years for minnesota to get a playoff series win and it

happened tonight. 2-0 final. eliminated toronto. moving on to take on houston advancing in the national league, the phillys and the diamondbacks. this is butler, senior star guard unveiled in front of my camera this morning. his intention is to play for illinois and the north bay player of the year announce today on his 18th birthday, sara, stanford, usf, uc santa barbara were finalists but the fighting illini won out. >> his parents have to be proud and his two younger brothers that are up and coming. >> more super stars to the list >> the butler family is something. >> thank you very much. if you see something weird streaking across the sky the next few days, not to worry, it is just flying spiders. not to worry? i am worried. these webs have been seen here in the bay area and beyond. a professor says it looks like the result

-- excuse me i am losing my voice, of ballooning, spiders do it when they run on food and need to relocate. they use it to pick up and fly to new places. oh. okay. we have been seeing a lot of posts on line from people who are baffled. this person posted spidernado? what is falling from the sky in california. someone in modesto wrote you wake up to see a long spider web if your backyard. someone else this picture. what the bleep are these spider web things flying over manteko. i hope never to see that personally. when we saw that our own jessica berch, an army pilot, was going up in a blue angel's plane, my producers forced me to unearth this footage. [ screaming ] they compelled me to do this. i

wanted to bury it

. finally tonight, having fun with fleet week. today was a day when a lucky member of the media got to go up with the blue angels for a media run. jessica berch is also, no joke, an army pilot, she flies helicopters. she got picked to fly. moments before her flight. she was told they would pull up

to 7gs today. >> what is the fastest you have flown? >> 120 knots is our nice comfortable speed in the blackhawk. it will be a lot faster for us. >> that is a little bit of a tease, we recorded her flight in 360. we will share that along with her reaction, i believe on friday. she kept her cool, though. >> sure. >> i did not. i am deathly afraid of flying. like in planes. >> i worked for another station, my producers made me come up with this when i flew with a stunt pilot ahead of the blue angels in corpus christi, texas several years ago, here it is. >> ready to go up. >> yeah. [ laughter ] >> [ screaming ] [ laughter ] [ screaming ]

. >> oh, my god, i'm so scared. >> that is just the take off. >> okay. hold on. not even a barrel roll >> it is a combat takeoff, paul. straight up, 140 miles an hour. >> oh, look at you. there is the next part. >> one more. that is the front now i will roll it, roll it to the left. >> oh, my god! >> what do you think? was that cool? oh! [ laughter ] >> i did not say yes, that was cool. it was not cool. >> how long were you up in the air? honestly for me, four years? it felt like forever. >> and you lived. >> yeah. >> she is not ai, folks, it is really her. >> they did not do, what they called, the idiots loop >> the idiots loop was getting in the plane. it was the loop to walk into the plane. [ laughter ] >> it was fun. good times.

>> thanks for giving me that chuckle on the way out the door tonight. >> i need that clip as a ring tone when you call. >>
