(female announcer) this has been a paid presentation for crepe erase, sponsored by body firm. ♪ now at 11:00. >> i was standing in the freezer when i started feeling my body move. >> a day after a major earthquake rocked the california coast, people in its paths are counting their blessings that it wasn't worse. how past quakes kept some extra prepared. taking place of christmas

lights as the northern california town will reflect on a school shooting that led two kindergarteners badly hurt. >> it's scary. and i feel like we would teach and we support children, and in that society. >> there are plenty of vacant businesses across the bay. this one has been taken over by even the property owner who agrees something should be done. an east bay city that has seen their fair shares of ups and downs, having fun on friday is as important as ever. hi, i'm sara donchey. we made it to friday. when a lot of us heard that a 7.0 quake hit northern california yesterday, we had an idea in our heads about what some of those towns to the north might look like afterwards. you might think the worse, collapses, fires, still, they've had more

than 100 aftershocks since yesterday morning, and those towns, they look nothing like what some of us imagine that they might. our wilson walker visited rio dell, where a lot of people were ready for the quake, extremely glad things were not much worse. >> i was up like this, yeah. and so i was up like this and then when they started moving, i grabbed a hose like this, and i saw the syrup, the ice cream start flying off the shelf. like the ground was just coming up. and just launching over. so we just kind of tiptoed and went straight towards the door, where we got everybody out quickly. >> reporter: for april nest, thursday's earthquake was the humboldt county initiation she recently moved to scotia from kentucky. >> it's crazy. i have never done anything like that in my life. i never want to again. >> reporter: the sound of shoes on the floor gives an idea of

how much cleaning up has taken place here at the market and deli. >> they were all in the floor. of course, we've got things trying to soak up everything. >> reporter: a day later, the cleanup is still unfolding. >> there is one wreck here. >> reporter: lost inventory piling up in the dumpster. >> that's all shelfing. >> i've heard from everyone up here that when this happens, everyone knows where to go to start cleaning. >> apparently they do because i even had my in-laws reaching out to me to see if i needed help. >> reporter: but the mess was mitigated somewhat by the lessons learned from year's past. >> two years ago, when the really bad earthquake hit, they put reinforced wires on all of these racks, and they actually really did help this time. so we didn't lose as much alcohol as what they did before. >> yeah, it's pretty interesting because the quake yesterday, it released eight times more energy. a much larger earthquake than the one

in 2022. >> reporter: steven delong is a research yeeologist. we asked them to explain the different impact of the quake. >> and it was much closer to land and just offshore, just a little bit west of ferndale. and the way that earthquake ruptured, it sent the energy eastward and right up the river valley where you're in it and a lot of the shaking, affected the structures there. >> i have heard from people here where they will say they know and they can feel how the energy would generally come from the same direction. >> reporter: they bounced through the river canyon. and i guess that's the way it works? >> and they are going to go through the soft sediments that you're standing there in town with harder rock hills. some of the energy, they could be reflected back.

>> reporter: previous quakes have cost vastly more damage. they have the photos of the original market burning to the ground. >> that is april 26, 1992. >> reporter: so another year, another quake just a glancing blow. >> and it is just amazing that less than a minute, all of this happened. >> reporter: there are plenty of people here that could point to parts of the building and say yeah, that damage came in 2022 and the consensus seems to be that quake with that strong initial jolt just landed much harder here. now remember, that time the ferndale bridge was closed for a while. for a community that knows all about strong earthquakes this time of the year. if you talked to locals, they will tell you that it may not be long before the next one rolls around. faith over fear was the message tonight downtown oroville, where students and families gathered for a vigil

for two kindergarteners, badly hurt in a school shooting this week. they are still in critical condition after yet another round of surgeries today. reporter madson kevy has the latest. >> god was with two those babies that day. >> reporter: lifted up by hundreds. hope here is healing. >> it does mean a lot to us. >> reporter: and tony is their aunt. >> it is a miracle that he survived. the little 5-year-old get shot with a millimeter and survivist is a miracle. >> reporter: and the brother is his dad. she says he has not been back to work, so he could stay by his son's side. >> as a participant, you would feel like hey, this is a private school. you know, it's secluded. my kids are going to be safe there. you know, finally he took an uber to be dropped off there. and his full intentions were to cause destruction. it is just

unbelievable. >> reporter: the story is one that you might see on the news. but she never thought it would happen to her family in a place where she drew up. >> for someone to go in to a school with the intention of killing kids is something that you just can't wrap your head around. there is no words, there is absolutely no words for it. >> reporter: elias, this smiley happy care-free kid has been mostly asleep after surgery, as doctors want him resting, so his body could heal. but thursday, he woke up long enough to talk to his dad. >> you know, this has shattered his childhood. i mean, this is going to, you know, he is still in critical condition. >> reporter: the tight knit community, pledging their unwavering support to the families as the boys heal. his aunt telling us, she knows they're not the only ones hurting. >> all the other kids that were in the school, like this is all

very traumatic. i think one thing that is really devastating too, they were targeted because of their religion. nobody should have to go through this. but just being a supportive community, coming together, especially during the holiday season. >> and horrible to think about what those little boys are going through tonight. people have donated thousands of dollars to victims families. and we are also learning more about the suspect who opened fire before taking his own life. the sheriff says 56-year-old glen litten used a fake name and a made up excuse to access the campus. investigators also say they found a written statement they believe to be from him. a part of it targeting adventist schools in california. we have an update on the livermore climber who went missing while scaling new zealand's highest mountains. authorities think carlos romero fell to his death. he and two other climbers were reported missing when they department show up for their flights. the search for them has been difficult.

>> our search teams have been hampered by ongoing alpine conditions. and it has been too windy for helicopters and simply too dangerous to put teams into the environment. >> that search has been all, but called off. police are weighing whether they can begin a recovery mission now. a live look at oakland tonight, which is by some account, a city with an uncertain future, facing a budget shortfall. questions about who will lead after the mayor was recalled. the city's police union is claiming by monday, the department could see a massive cut in funding, but in spite of all of those problems, a lot of oaklanders will proudly tell you it is still a vibrant place full of culture and entertainment. about that part, having fun and taking a chance to share what people love about oakland. we have that story. >> reporter: 23rd and telegraph

in oakland, transformed into a winter wonderland as kids played in the fake snow. this wasn't even the highlight of the night. >> they're finally here. i made that just in time. >> is that the real santa? >> i think that it might be the extra santa. >> dude, santa's coming. >> reporter: the kids got a taste of the holiday season. and they were excited to share a couple of items, off her wish list for santa. >> a robot would remind me to be good. >> a robot to remind you to be good? >> yeah. and you know what, actually i want a dog, a real dog. actually that's what i want. >> reporter: this event wasn't only for the young. >> and join the culture and the spirit and the beauty of the universe. >> reporter: they have lived in oakland her entire life, seeing the town go through the ups and the downs. but the events like

this one will restore hope for the future. >> it means that oakland is still alive. and a chance for them to pour money right back into the community. >> it is just so juicy, just like so flavorful, it's like roasted into a stew. oh my g these smells are just simulating. >> reporter: and they say first fridays, they're a huge boost for their business. for now, they would rely on these types of events to keep their business going. >> events like these are definitely so very helpful for small businesses who are on their rise to, you know, being more, you know, brick and mortar. being more traditional. >> reporter: this event will rely on sponsors to keep it going. organizers are bringing back the street fair. the goal

for 2025 is to hold the next verse friday in march. >> and it really is a labor of love and how much we do every month. on repeat. so we want this to continue. it means so much to the city of oakland. and vacant businesses are nothing new in the bay area, but this one has been completely taken over. >> there's one, two, three, four schools and the vicinity of this trash pile. no one cares. >> why even the property owner feels like the issues at this empty lot will never end.

unitedhealthcare's ceo, brian thompson, was gunned down in manhattan. now police think the gunman left new york on a bus to atlanta. police there and elsewhere across the country have joined the search. police also found a backpack in central park. they say they still have not identified a suspect. and abandoned parking lot is never pretty, but people in one oakland neighborhood says this one has gotten to a whole new level when it comes to being an eyesore. large fires and police activity there have actually forced nearby schools to lock down. everyone, even the property owner, they seem to agree that it has to stop. da lin has more. >> reporter: constructions break, i mean the trash is just massive here in the lot. and

all the participants, teachers, students, no one happy about this. they are upset, but claims he's not allowed to clean up his own property. it has gotten significantly worse in recent months. >> there is one, two, three, four schools in the vicinity of the trash pile. no one cares. this is suppose to be normal for us. >> reporter: roughly a thousand kits who attend the four schools and the childcare center. a social worker, educator at international community school. better known as ics elementary, across the street from the abandoned lot. >> and extremely angry every single day that we drive past this. >> reporter: they tell me they need to go on lockdowns because of police activity at this

site. they put out multiple fires at this property in recent years, where it was likely started by the homeless and they say people are still living in the building that is still standing. >> and i've gotten a notification that the school is on lockdown for these reasons, so it is concerning. >> reporter: and she says she is always worried about her kid's safety. her 5-year-old daughter attends ics, and her twin boys go to the childcare center next door. >> me and my mom personally picked them up from each class, and then got in the car to leave. >> reporter: they say this lot is a reflection of what's happening on east 12th street. there are multiple large encampments in this one mile stretch. they say in a recent safety meeting between the schools and the city officials, they said because this is a private lot, they can't do anything about it. >> it's scary. i feel like we teach and support parents in the society. and this is our view every day.

>> reporter: over the phone, the property owner tells me he's in a court battle with his lender. he says they placed an injunction to prevent them from entering or managing the lot, where he could not send them to me on time for this broadcast, but tells me he too is angry ask feels badly about the situation, where the legal dispute has dragged on for several years. in the meantime, students and educators are dealing with the consequences. >> and i know they do their darnest, but they need to do better. >> reporter: i did not hear back from them as i wanted to hear why not clean this site up first and send the bill to the property openers? and yes, they will make it more complicated. with no resolution on site, neighbors say the city has to do something about this. >> yeah. that is on a whole

other level for sure. >> that's shocking video. >> very shocking. let's talk about the weather as we're heading into the weekend, and most of us can agree that is a good thing? >> it is not quite as warm today and above average for december. so any pre-holiday stuff you need to get dope, mother nature won't interfere. a look at what's happening and how things will change as we head through the weekend. the rain chances will remain to the north, and that's not going to change. big area of high pressure is just directing everything off to the north, so the closest showers will just sneak in to that north coast region, but most of us sent to oregon and washington and that will weaken slightly with some clouds that will sneak in over the bay area. and no moisture getting squeezed out. and that high will result in downward motion and this time of the year, which means smoke from wood burning stove is still causing some details for air quality. and we're looking at

modern air quality for today. and we will see more of those just a little bit back to the mostly category time on tuesday. and a chance had to watch that stuff on the horizon for the tail end of the seven-day forecast, where we will be getting into the beginning of the more unsettled weather pattern. rain chances, they're modest as we would look at next weekend into the following weekend. lower than 50-50 at this point. and the best guess, once that system moves it in late friday into saturday, then the other one, some time the week of the 15th. something that we're going to continue to monitor as we head through the next several days. it won't be here nearly on time as they would try to keep their post-season hopes alive. what's the latest percentage playoff? low. okay, that's math for you. temperatures in the upper 60s for the game, so

it will be mild if you'll be heading out to levi's this weekend. a look at the current temperatures. a mix of 30s and 40s. still mild in a lot of locations. those numbers will drop off. we'll see some patchy fog developing as we head through the rest of tonight. some along the coast, and a little bit in the inland valleys to begin the day today. and that had put the brakes on the warm up that will kick in. it's not going to be that cool to start the day tomorrow and temperatures will warm up a few degrees above the north bay and with a mix along the coast and temperatures in the santa clara valley. and there is that one

rain chance in that forecast and it doesn't look like it will be too intense. the most likely scenario is light rain, and maybe more substantial rain that will be ten days along the line. as the rain chances evolve over the course of the next several days. sara? we talk a lot about food insecurity over the holidays specifically, but hunger does not take a break. your donawill help them serve throughout 2025. let's check in with our katie nielsen at the alameda county food bank. >> reporter: we are here at the alameda county food bank, and the folks here are problem solvers, seeing a problem with food insecurity in our community, and they're here to do something about it. one of

those is pg&e. jake, tell us about why they're so involved in this organization? >> yeah, thank you. we know there are many families struggling with food insecurity. in fact, one in four residents don't know where their food will come from. we're very proud to partner with the food bank here in alameda county, which will serve as a critical safety net in the east bay. >> and one of the largest donors, as well as volunteer hours. why are they here? >> and they really care about serving and doing right by the communities that we all live in and work in every single day with nearly 200 employees donate around 500 hours of their time and expect those volunteer events here at the food bank. >> reporter: absolutely incredible. you're with the food bank. tell us about the impact that this type of gift will have? >> so this will have a major impact in our community, and they will lead to those meals

for our neighbors in need throughout alameda county. >> reporter: absolutely incredible. this season of giving if you want to make a difference in your community, go ahead and log on to our website kpix.com/give. coming up in sports, warriors, they got back on friday night against the t-wolves where they stacked together a couple of wins. while holding on to the ball with likely would have helped their chances. i'll break down well, i think we were hoping for a better outcome when it comes to the warriors,

you could say? center yes, it was the end of the five-game skid, and they did it all without draymond and steph, so surely it would get better. he picked up a technical foul in his first game back. of course, steph kept the peace. that's not all that he did tonight. late third quarter, knocks down the stepback triple. in the fourth, knocks down another off the screen, and he pulled them within three, finishing with 23 points. not enough to overcome some really sloppy play, however. warriors plagued by turnovers in this one. handed it over, 22 times. they shot 28% from three, which is not a recipe for success against the playoffs like minnesota. in crunch time, who else, but anthony edwards that stole the show. they knock down the three

over steph. and added to the book. under five to go. edwards, just too crafty on the drive. knocks down the reverse layup to put it had one away. t-wolves win 93-90. they will play minnesota again on sunday. had fans finally know which players they could root for. the team filled out most of their roster on friday as part of the expansion draft. they selected 11 players from different wnba rosters. former iowa star, kate martin, who was caitlin clark's side kick in college. they also added kayla thornton. valkyries will begin their roster, and the team currently owns the fifth 17th and 30th selections in this april's college draft. let's go to some collegiate soccer where stanford women are back in the college cup facing wake forest for a spot in the national

championship. still scoreless. but emily morris is able to capitalize off the great cross from the demon deacons, and that is too much to overcome for the cardinals. wake forest wins it 1-nil. to baseball earlier this week, former pets pitcher landed a three-year deal with the a's, reportedly worth $63 million in free agency. the most they have ever paid for a player. today, he paid a visit to what they will call their home this upcoming season. and the look on his face will say it all and that he would pitch in. that they are just praying to get out of and for $7 million, i'll pitch anywhere. but i think that they stepped in any way. no one told me

about this. >> and this is a meme willing to happen. thank you so much. it is one of those things that you assume happens in nightmare. a deadly finally tonight, one of

those stories that sound entirely made up because this poor person seems to have the worst luck. they had a moment of shear panic when she found a snake slithering up her leg. not just any snake, but a deadly tiger snake. >> of course. this happened in eastern australia, driving off the freeway barefoot. when she felt something on her foot, she looked down and saw the tiger snake making its way up from that little crack right there. somehow she flubbing it off of her and pulled over. when she did, she jumped over and called police. a professional snake catcher was brought in to remove the snake. >> it was launched in there at one point. and then peek-a-boo

and it went down to her foot and crawled up her leg. >> and good luck explaining that one to insurance why you caused the 20-car pileup on the interstate. >> it is amazing that she didn't. >> no thanks. and 98 are venomous and the others just eat you whole. well, spending the holidays here. thank you for watching. the late show with stephen colbert is next. have a great weekend.
