2:07 am
family. i don't know. >> with communication to gaza completely cut off, a san jose man can only wait and worry after receiving one last chilling video of his family's neighborhood. from kpix, this is the late news with sara donchey on cbs news bay area. >> hello, i'm sara donchey. you might have felt the ground shake a little bit tonight, a magnitude 3.7 earthquake hit the bay area around rush hour, and it caught a lot of people off guard. that is, if you felt it. it was centered right under sfo, but we got calls about it from as far away as walnut creek. according to usgs, people felt it as far north as santa rosa, as far south as watsonville, and as far east as antioch. we are not seeing reports of damage, but less than two hours later a 2.9 quake hit allen rock in the south bay. paul, we were going to start off with you anyway, but we are happy you can
2:08 am
explain the earthquake too. >> and on our virtual map i am standing right where that earthquake happened, right underneath sfo near millbrae. it gives you a perspective of where it is. but that's where it was located. where it was felt is virtually everywhere on our virtual map. you see that on the top down look we're used to seeing. let's zoom in for a closer look. it hit right at 6:38 this evening. we can take a look at the did you feel it map from the usgs. you can see that most of the bay area did report feeling this relatively weak earthquake but also reporting that the shaking was low on the overall scale. now, this occurred pretty much directly on the san andreas fault. that is running right up the peninsula, and so it's not a surprise we would get an earthquake here. relatively small size, the quake, hopefully it's one of those situations where it's releasing a little bit of tension and helping avoid something larger farther down the line. the other story we're tracking, turning to the world of meteorology instead of seismology, a red flag warning
2:09 am
tomorrow through 5:00 p.m. sunday. offshore winds very dry producing relative humidity levels down to about 10%. elevating the fire threat as we head through the weekend. we also have a wind advisory that goes into effect tomorrow for many of the same locations. be prepared for the possibility of downed branches if not entire trees and the possibility of power outages, and of course, power lines going down. a frost advisory for the north bay valleys with temperatures in the mid to upper 30s. before you go to bed, cover up plants or bring them inside if you don't want to lose them for the season. we'll track that fire threat in a few minutes. >> paul, thank you for doing double duty for us. we appreciate it. the relatively small size of the quake generated an outsized reaction on social media. just about everybody had some sort of story to tell about it, including our reporter andrea nakano in the castro. >> reporter: i was sitting inside a parked car going over some video that we had just
2:10 am
gathered when the earthquake hit. i immediately looked back, thinking somebody was trying to push the car. it took a moment to realize that it was an earthquake. in the castro district, some didn't feel a thing, others, like marty deal, noticed a slight change as she enjoyed her cocktails at a local bar. >> i was sitting on a bar stool, and i was just starting to stand up. and i went -- and he was next to me. and i said, did you feel that? and he said, yep. so it wasn't the drinks. it wasn't the drinks. >> kind of a shift, a one big shift off to the side and a couple of rocks back and forth, and other people didn't even notice, but we looked at each other and said, do you feel that? >> got that. >> reporter: for many it was so subtle it was hard to tell it was an earthquake. >> i just felt like it was a bus passing by. >> reporter: when did you find out it was an earthquake?
2:11 am
>> because you told me. >> reporter: marty deal experienced the 1989 earthquake. she has lived in san francisco for 75 years. she's used to earthquakes and friday's little jolt is one she will take any day. >> we'd rather have a bunch of little teeny ones that have the big guy. so you know, it's what we live with. >> about ten days ago a magnitude 4.2 quake hit aisleton outside of antioch. we did not get an alert, so why not? we saw a lot of people asking that question on social media, posting about it. usgs says that is because the initial estimate was below the 4.5 threshold that would lead to an alert.
2:12 am
tonight the gaza strip is in a near total blackout after israeli strikes knocked out virtually all communication between its 2.3 million residents and the outside world. the idf says it is expanding ground operation, signalling a move closer to an all out invasion of gaza. it has vowed to crush hamas for its deadly terror attacks three weeks ago. a san jose man who grew up in gaza is dealing with the news that his childhood neighborhood was hit by an air strike, now unrecognizable to him. before the communication outage, his family wrote to him saying we are okay. but he tells our jocelyn moran he has not been able to contact them since. >> reporter: he has had a routine for the last few weeks. he wakes up and messages his family in gaza. he has parents and siblings there. they have a group chat on whatsapp. when he gets home from work, he messages them again. >> then by the time i come back from work, it's their morning. and i try to see how was your
2:13 am
night. this is really the questions i was asking all this time. >> reporter: now that has changed. >> i woke up this morning and i got news on whatsapp from my brother and my sister that there was a house in our neighborhood that was destroyed by an air strike. >> reporter: he received this video overnight into friday morning. and you got this video sent to you this morning? you opened it this morning? >> i opened my whatsapp group,fy family group, and i found it there. so this is the street. >> reporter: that's the street you grew up in. >> yes, this is our house now. >> reporter: he says the house in front of his parent's was hit. their living room window was damaged. the man is his father. he hasn't been able to contact them all day, whether he tries through an international call or through whatsapp, no answer. >> i don't know if they're alive or they're -- our neighborhood has been bombed or -- so it's going to be very tough days, you know, coming ahead. >> people who are just putting
2:14 am
some daily news or update from their neighborhood, all that is completely shut off. >> reporter: that's professor of ethnic studies. >> this is going to be a very difficult night for people in gaza and difficult night for people who are living here and waiting for news from loved ones. >> reporter: he's thinking about all his family, his apartments, siblings, nieces, and nephews. he talked to one of them recently. >> i talked with one of my nephews and told him are you scared. he said, no, it's time to be a man. he's like, you know, 10. i told him, but do you sleep at night. he said no. you know, it's very hard to sleep, and i tell him he be a big boy and don't worry be you'll be safe. but of course, i wasn't believing what i was telling him because really there's no place safe. >> reporter: a couple of weeks ago when kpix talked with him, he told us some of his family fled south after israel warned
2:15 am
residents to evacuate for their own safety. they did at first but then returned home to the north. >> there's no difference between north and south. it's a fallacy that there is a safe zone in gaza, quote,unquote. there's not a single neighborhood that's safe in gaza. >> reporter: now he's left to check his phone hoping for word. >> there is too many people that are being collectively punished for something that most of them, if not all of them, have nothing to do with what's happening there. >> and tonight a large crowd turned out for a candlelight vigil to call for peace in gaza. >> the situation in gaza is getting to with we can no longer be quiet about it. unfortunately, the civilian palestinians are paying the price for this work. this has to stop. humanity has to prevail, not war. >> the u.n. general assembly has been calling for a humanitarian truce in the gaza strip. a two-day manhunt that sent
2:16 am
thousands of people into lockdown in maine is over tonight. the army reservist accused in a mass shooting that left 18 dead and 13 wounding apparently shot and killed hifrments. robert card's body was found near a river ten miles outside of the city of lewiston, where the massacre happened wednesday at a pair of businesses. a bowling alley and a bar and grill where the victims were just out having a nice evening. one of them was at work, joey walker managed the bar and grill which was hosting a corn hole tournament at the time. his father, leroy walker, says his son died a hero trying to stop the gunman with a butcher's knife before he was killed. but he says he doesn't hate the shooter. >> i'm sorry that it's happened to all of us, and i'm sorry what may happen to him. and god will prevail. hate will never bring my son back. >> wendy bell's brother, bill young, and his 14-year-old son aaron were killed inside of the
2:17 am
bowling alley. >> can't even go bowling. you can't even go have a drink at a bar or enjoy a meal with your family without fear. >> aaron's family says the teen loved to bowl and was having a lesson from his 76-year-old coach, who was also killed. they were the oldest and youngest victims of the mass shooting that shocked the state of maine and really the country. some residents say until this week they didn't even lock their doors at night. it is something you might not think about if you're considering an electric car. will your mechanic know how to fix it? >> it is going to be a future for all of us, so it is important to learn. >> she will. inside the bay area auto shop driving students in a new direction. plus, the outlook for sunday's 49ers game just got a slightly purdyer picture. halloween in the castro
2:18 am
tomorrow. >> and this is what we were working on before the earthquake hit. tens of thousands of people used to pack this san francisco neighborhood on halloween until violence brought it to an abrupt end. now more than 15 years later, celebrations are coming back to the halloween in the castro tomorrow. come on, you've got to have some. >> you heard sister roma who was all dressed up and well prepared, after 17 years, halloween is coming back to the castro this weekend. and in a way, it'll look more a like it did when teri aston bennet's great great-grandfather started the tradition back in 1948.
2:19 am
>> halloween was always a big part of our lives, the dressing up and the being here and being part of the community. >> over the years, the castro became a go-to destination for halloween. hundreds of thousands of people would turn out. but it all came to a violent and abrupt end back in 2006 when a shooter opened fire, wounding nine people. this year the civic joy fund's cofounder, manny, helped lead a community effort to bring it back. >> the world right now is hurting. the whole world. it's a tough time. and to have a little moment of levity and of celebration and of love in a city of love is necessary. >> it just feels right to bring it back home and to make it a safer event this time. that has been the goal is to keep our community safe. >> one way they're doing that is holding it earlier in the day and moving some of the saucier events indoors. the hopes is that it'll encourage more families to attend and
2:20 am
very importantly for them to spend money at local businesses who could use the help. with california leading the charge to get more electric cars out on the roads, demand is also surging for specially trained mechanics to service them. but can supply keep pace in tonight's project earth, anne makovec takes us inside a high school auto shop that's driven to succeed. >> reporter: at george washington high school in san francisco, evelyn is living her dream as a mechanic. >> for me, cars has always been like a really big passion. >> reporter: evelyn is at the right place at the right time, washington is the only public high school in the city to offer auto shop. >> i absolutely love it. i like getting my hands dirty, getting in the engine bay. >> reporter: but this senior is not just getting her hands on gas-powered engines. >> it's super cool seeing how everything comes apart. >> reporter: evelyn can now take apart an electric motor, in this case a donated tesla
2:21 am
engine, and she can put it back together again. >> evelyn's one of our superstars. >> reporter: auto instructor and local machinist union member rich believes his young students are facing a well compensated and challenging future. right now there's a shortage of certified auto mechanics. >> so they have this opportunity to get into the starting of this electric vehicle phase that's going to be taking over our automotive industries. >> reporter: in response to the impact of climate change, california is pushing to remove gas-powered vehicles from its streets, roads, and highways, as quickly as possible. the demand for electric vehicles is likely to surge soon and significantly. >> it is going to be a future for all of us, so it is important to learn. >> reporter: of course, older gas burning cars won't disappear overnight. they'll slowly phase out. hybrid cars, how about hybrid mechanics? >> so this next generation, they're going to need to know both electric vehicles and
2:22 am
combustion engines, right? they're going to need to know both, because they're both going to be around for another 20 years probably. >> reporter: e vs require less maintenance and fewer repairs. they're not as complicated mechanically and use fewer fluids like engine oil. but they're high voltage, need a different cooling system, and thanks to the battery, they're heavier. >> your tires do get worn more just because of the weight of the battery. >> that connects to the battery over there. >> reporter: as for seniors wilson and zoey, they are thrilled with the challenge. on this day they're putting tot an electric car. >> we actually assembled this as a collective team. >> i'm in the robotics club, so george washington high school robotics club, and i wanted a class in my schedule where i could get hands-on experience. >> reporter: she credits the community, including the principals and trade unions, for keeping auto shop alive. >> we're going to have a better world for it. and these students are taking advantage of what we have here at washington, and a lot of them
2:23 am
are interested in going, getting into the field of mechanics. >> trust, relax. >> reporter: including students like evelyn. >> like my dad said, people are going to tell you know, but you have to be persistent and push through. >> reporter: to a better world driven to succeed. all right, i know we have first alert weather. we have to talk about the earthquake, so i decided to stand right about where it was centered. >> yes. >> interestingly enough -- >> and people felt it as far away -- >> way out there. don't hit the wall. there's a wall behind him. you can't see it. but okay, i'm not good with this. i don't want to step in the mountains. no, no, no. i was talking to people along the east side of san francisco. >> mm-hmm. >> and they really felt it. >> yeah. >> pretty strongly. folks over on the west side, maybe a little bit less so, that i spoke to. >> yeah. >> we are here. >> because there's a big range of hills in between. >> we are here, and we felt it pretty strongly. >> right, kind of that soft soil that it's in, just
2:24 am
transmitted right up towards us. >> woke us right up. okay, take it away, weather time. >> we'll come back to the earthquake, don't worry. we've got reaction video from past earthquakes as well. a wind pattern setting up tomorrow. the atmosphere getting squeezed in between these two feature a hill of air off the shore, and a storm system dropping in. that means low humidity levels, so let's track hour by hour. win arrows on the map as well. you're going to see those speeding up through the day tomorrow. look how much faster they're going tomorrow afternoon. the humidity levels dropped to 10%. that's the combination we worry about. low humidity, gusty offshore winds. and that combination is still going to be with us tomorrow night. usually overnight the humidity levels recover as the temperatures cool off. that's not going to be the case into early sunday morning. still in the 10% to 15% range for those humidity ranges, and we're talking about low levels still on sunday down to 5% to 10%. by that point, the wind arrows not
2:25 am
moving as fast. the winds die down late in the day on sunday. it's really the north bay mountains that are the greatest concern. a high fire threat everywhere, but specifically around mount saint helena into the mayacamas range. gusty winds, low humidity, and dryish fire fuels. we had showers on sunday that added moisture to the equation. the blue line tracks where we've been so far this year and where we are right now is pretty good. wetter than normal fire fuels but still dry enough that any fire that does get started is going to be able to rapidly spread. right now we're still calm. clear skies overhead. temperatures are dropping off quickly. we're mostly in the 50s, but it's down to 44 already in santa rosa. 47 degrees in livermore. that frost advisory for the north bay valleys. cover up the plants or bring them inside. make sure animals have a warm
2:26 am
place to snuggle up for the night. let's take a look at tomorrow 's high temperatures, which are going to be very close to normal for this time of year, within a degree or two on either side of average. low 70s in the santa clara valley. low 70s inland in the east bay and the tri-valley and delta, in fact, all inland marts of the bay area are going to hit the 70s. easier to point out the places that aren't. mid-60s along the coast for pacifica, upper half of the 60s in san francisco. one degree below average. low 70s also for inland part of the north bay. again, it's the winds and the low humidity levels that have us concerned as we head through the weekend. seven-day forecast we're really going to hover very close to what's normal for late october and eventually early november. the warmest day is the first day of november into the mid-70s inland. temperatures are going to exhibit the same pattern around the bay but very close to normal. and as we head into early november, the differences that we usually see from the bay to inland or freven the coast to inland really start to
2:27 am
narrow down. so coastal parts of the bay area making it up into the mid-60s. not that much cooler than those inland locations, even on the warmest day of the week, the first day of november, on wednesday. matt? all right, ahead in sports, world series game one instant classic. but one former giant might not love the results. i'll explain why. plus, the warriors searching for their first win of the year over the kings. we break down the thre i may not know much, but kings and warriors, they're not friends exactly. >> say what you will about this, a lot of golden state fans would say this isn't a
2:28 am
rivalry, but it feels like one to me. last year the series got more interesting. the kings were winning. so i think there's a little bit more juice when they meet up now. golden state led tonight by as much as 18 in the second half but started turning it over in the fourth. bad pass by klay thompson leads to a de'aaron fox three. cuts the deficit to as low as five, but steph curry saved the day, final minutes he hits a dagger three, pushing the lead back to eight. curry gives golden one the night, night. more on steph's performance in a minute. warriors get their first win of the year. this guy's not happy in the crowd. chris paul finished with 12 assists, and the youngsters, moody scored ten, kuminga had 12, including a put back dunk. i want to go back to curry. the last time
2:29 am
golden state was in sacramento, curry scored 50 in game stone eliminate the kings from the playoffs. tonight he knocked down seven threes. this is outrageous, it was steph's 63rd career 40-point game. that's special. to the nfl, 49ers quarterback brock purdy practiced for a second straight day on friday. looks to have a decent shot of playing sunday versus the bengals. purdy is still in concussion protocol but could be cleared on saturday. we switch to the world series. one former giant stands to win a ring if the snakes win the series. it's madison baumgardner, but it comes with a twist. he was released from the d-backs in april after putting up an era over 10. i find this outrageous, he is the highest paid player on the payroll. on the roster or not, he should be rooting on the d-backs so he gets the ring. it could be conflicting for him though because former giants manager bruce bochy is the man who led the rangers to now
2:30 am
their third fall classic in history, his old manager. tied at 3-3 in the fourth. tommy pham's solo blast gives d-backs the lead. but corey seager, a mammoth two-run homer to tie the game. it sends us to extras. i love the fall classic. still tied, bottom of the 11th, who else, adolis garcia opposite field for a walk-off home run. it is his eighth long ball of the postseason. that's nuts. and the rangers come back to win it 6-5. they take a 1-0 series lead. sara, the big news from the giants this week, they're thrilled to have bob melvin, but i know a lot of fans here, they are still rooting on the texas rangers because bruce bochy could be in line to get his fourth world series ring as a manager. >> legend, and well loved here. matt, thank you. our studio camera was rolling when paul felt we made it! bmo has arrived.
