>>justine:the morning as we take a look at the ongoing growing occupy protest that are still going on in the bay area. more people are starting to gather at justin herman plaza in san francisco. you are also looking at the scene at the plaza in oakland protesters vowed to take it back and they did. 700 gathered near city hall to discuss what they're going to do next. we have some developing news out of san francisco, we will get to that in just one minute. but first, i am justine waldman. >>james: i am james fletcher and support of those protesters who had a few

council members are writing late last night in support. we will hear about that coming up a little bit. for the most part last night protest was a peaceful one. you can see it here in the video the fence surrounded the grassy area at the plaza where the encampment was taken down just one day before. for now, the mayor of oakland and oakland police are promising not to move against demonstrators and as the crowd gets violent. >> i want some time to open up the channels of communication. we have decided to have minimal police presence in the plaza over the next day or so so that we can try to open up the dialogue here. people have to remember why we had to close it to begin with. that is because of the sanitation issues and other safety concerns. whatever

happens, it can not deteriorate from what it was before. as the mayor of the city i have divided opinions on some things. we do not always agree on tactics, i know you guys do not like the fact that the things day-by-day and situation by situation. the gates were put up more for the public's safety. we were going to allow them back in as soon as the clean up with finish. >>james: they say the grassy area where the protesters camped out is not a biohazard and they have to make sure is clean up properly. they say protesters are risking their health by city or sleeping on that ground. >>justine: scott olson and i

rock war veteran veteran-- iraq war veteran was injured last night. this shows him sitting on the ground after being hit by one of those projectile missiles. people stayed around to help him. you see the cops threw tear gas into the crowd and olson was bloody and dazed he served 2 tours in iraq with out any injuries. his friend spoke out about this. >> i think it's crazy how you can go and serve the country and then come back

and get injured like this. >>james: yes today mayor ed lee said that laws against camping in justin herman plaza will be enforced. he said trash and lack of bathrooms is why protesters need to move out. still, many protesters and i believe they should be blamed for the sanitation problems. >> most of these conditions already existed down here and we are trying the best of our ability to mitigate them. rats are an endemic problem in san francisco. the city has a right to be concerned about rask but they do not have a right to blame us for it. >>james: the mayor says the he will kick the protesters out of justin herman plaza but he will not say when that will happen. we have seen oakland police assembling in various parts of the city. first in treasure island now south of the city at the dog patch.

stay with us as we continue to follow the developments in there and we will let u.s. some point this morning if the two of them clash. we have camera set up here and in oakland. >>justine: at 4:05a.m. this thursday morning we want to talk to 0 c. about the weather. >>erica: the morning justine, currently we are looking at the golden gate bridge there is some lingering patchy fog. for the most part we will see clear conditions. we have temperatures currently in the '30's and as we head into the afternoon by 3:00 p.m. the coastline temperatures will mostly be in the upper 60 for your bay

and in the locations. will be sitting in the low to mid '70's. your temperature is right outside the door are in the 30's, '40's, and '50s. as we work our way close to a.m., take a look at that purple on your screen. temperatures are close to the 40's there. as we advance the clock closer to lunchtime you will see all that green filling in on the map indicating temperatures in the '60s for most locations. as we fast 4 to 3:00 p.m. we will be in the low '70s but the '60s mostly along the coastline. here is a quick break down of exactly where those temperatures will go neighborhood by neighborhood.

around the bay forecast we have a lot of changes to talk about. we did deal with all the conditions at the beginning of the week but it looks like we will have clear and sunny skies towards the end of the week. we do have some lingering overnight construction to tell you about here at the bay bridge toll plaza. there are more cars than we usually see at this time of the morning the no metering lights to deal with. it is emt at the toll plaza flats. your dried thyme is unaffected looking at eight to nine minutes towards the foot of the maze this morning. over to 92, no

accidents to tell you about or any delays. the golden gate bridge south bound 1 01 is clear. over to our traffic maps i want to focus on south bay locations. your ride along east bound west bound 237 may have some delays. but the good news is that we see speeds about 45 mi. per hour. north bound 101 looking good. interstate 280 is problem free. back justine >>justine: thank you erica, so much more on the kron4 morning news. we would take a live look outside right before our break over the

golden gate bridge and we will be right back. for over 60,000 california foster children, extra curricular activities help provide a sense of identity and a path to success. joining the soccer team. getting help with math. going to prom. i want to learn to swim. it's hard to feel normal, when you can't do the normal things. to help, sleep train is collecting donations for the extra activities that, for most kids, are a normal part of growing up. not everyone can be a foster parent... but anyone can help a foster child.

>>justine: good morning, five of dr. murray's patients to the stand on wednesday. all of them spoke of him as a very thorough and caring doctor. prosecutors quickly pointed out that none of them were treated by him for a sleeping disorder. the final defense witnesses will be to medical experts and that should happen today. then the defense will wrap up its case. it is for 11:00 a.m. will take a break, erica has

weather and traffic and will be right back.

>>erica: the morning i want to remind you that we have a red flag advisory warning in effect. we have seen whins in effect between tenants without power. when dust up to about 25 mi. per hour. low humidity is down to about 15%. all this adds up

to a high fire danger in the north bay in the east bay hills. what everyone will notice this morning is how cold the temperatures are. it is a little bit warmer through oakland currently sitting at 52 degrees. as we head into the afternoon we will bring the temperatures for the most part in the '70s. we have a couple of 60 degree temperatures out there for places like half moon bay. as we head up in the north bay we will see a lot of temperatures in the '70s. there is no change from yesterday and places like navato and fairfield. as we can to the next seven days we will have clear and

sunny skies. temperatures will be in the low '70s for your and in spots. as for traffic on this thursday morning still no hot spots to the cat. your looking right here at the approach to the bay bridge toll plaza we see easy go conditions and no waiting perio. >>erica: turning our attention to the san mateo bridge, the bright lights coming toward you are heading east down into hayward. there are no delays whatsoever at the toll plaza. over at the golden gate bridge south bound 101 is dealing with quite conditions. this drive is

still under 23 minutes out of navato pass highway 37 in down to the toll plaza this morning. over to the traffic map we have to overnight construction to talk about, south bound and north bound 68 have various lands closed this morning but not producing a slowdown just yet. you can see a lot of green or no on your screen indicating speeds over 50 mi. per hour. james >>james: of this earthquake was in contra costa county we have been falling up to see if there were any damages or injury and so far

there have been done. this church had 8 5,300 lb. balell -that was found yesterday. it was dirty but still intact. >> we have told of a scrap yards to be on the lookout for some kind of copper coming their way. we figured this was already chopped up but we got very lucky. >>james: people at the church are calling this an many miracle--mini miracle. >>justine: 5 elementary schools are on the chopping block in oakland. we have more on what parents said

inside a very heated meeting last night. >>reporter: tense moments inside of the school board meeting in oakland many people were frustrated because it took so long to get to the public comments about the school's closing. when they did get their chance to speak they were not afraid to voice their concerns. >> it is obvious to the city of oakland that these beautiful children of lake view that these children are fighting for their rights they're walking to school to long already. they do need --do not need a walking school bus, they need a school. >>reporter: 5 elementary schools were on the chopping block. that means about 1000

students would be impacted and will need to transfer to other schools in the district. >>james: this morning, the cost of college is soaring. a new report shows the average yearly price tag for attending and in state university jumped to more than $21,000 this fall. yesterday president obama outlined programs that he hopes will help graduates with their student loans. >> other countries are hustling to out educate us today so that they can compete with us tomorrow. they want the job of the future. i want you to have those jobs. >>james: the president aims to speed up a plan that was already in the works one of his measures would push up the start date for a loan repayment program that is based on income. >>justine: as decision 2012 approaches we take a look at the white house campaign strategy. while republicans are fighting to find a challenger president obama

is refraining his fight against the gop and its nominees. you we are notice that the commander in chief has adjusted his message. >>catherine: have you picked up on the president to a new message? >> we cannot wait for a dysfunctional congress to do its job. >> we cannot afford to keep waiting for them if they're not going to do anything. >>catherine: yes he is running against congress would notice his famous slogan from 2008..."yes we can". >> we need to pass this bill. passed this jobs bill. >> one thing is the president saying the same thing over and over again

and repetition matters in politics. he has been very up-front about the jobs plan he has given people a real understanding that he has a plan for jobs not just jobs on the short term but rebuilding the country's economic strength for the long term. that is really important. >>catherine: important because right now the president has a chance to define his place on the economy before there is a nominee. >> president's need to lay out their vision and that is important for the race right now. >> it seems that he is made the turn like i have to talk about the future and will do for tomorrow and how we create jobs and how much will this cost? >> the form of a problem is that three-quarters of the country believe that we are off on the wrong track. so

they just close their ears to the president's message. president obama this message is not resonating with most americans. >>catherine: the president continues to push his jobs bill what on the road republicans plan on unveiling their plans with more debates and of course the primaries to come. >>justine: we will take a quick break on the kron4 morning news with a live look outside right now from our camera that shows us the james lick freeway. we will be right back.

>>justine: there is good news in turkey this morning help is now arriving for the survivors. turkish officials are appealing to the nation for tents and prefabricated

houses for people that have survived this earthquake. flood waters in thailand have flooded bangkok. government officials say relief will be continued to be based at the airport. more than 600 prison inmates have been evacuated from the area. thailand says that bangkok would be submerged in more than 5 ft. of water. it has killed 373 people and affected more than 9 million people. officials say they could take more than one month before the water recedes. >>james: we have a live look at occupy san francisco, this is a justin herman plaza. the encampment is still there despite inclination from the mayor and the police chief that they may some point in the future move in to clear out

the encampment. there was some rumor that that might happen this morning. we know that san francisco police mobilized a good number of officers last night. where they are and what their plan is is still unclear. we will be watching as the situation develops.

morning, the time is for 20 9:00 a.m..--4:29 a.m.. the like video on the left is the san francisco plaza, on the right side this is the open plaza and the protesters are vowing to take back the grassy

area on the plaza in oakland. >>reporter: there had been officers here on the ground patrolling and walking around being vigil of the area and circling around. in the meantime, protesters here have been awake. they have been wondering themselves if they will do it at all tonight or when they will do it tonight, they have been up and around and walking around the area. some people were playing drums and supporting one another to keep it up be. at this point is very peaceful. >>james: described to me the size of the in camera, justin herman plaza is fairly large are we talking about the entire plaza or

just a corner? >>reporter: just the corner of it, here is the theory building. if you are facing the ferry building you would just go right here, that is where it is all set up on the right-hand side have the hotels and usually have the ice skating rink on this side, that is all clear. the protesters are really on this side. i walked over here to the side of the street because there are quite a few people. most of the crowd last night was right here in the center facing this ferry building but a lot more people are over here towards the other side of the encampment. you can see the large crowd over in that area. like i said for a while, you had a big group just kind of in a drum circle hanging out waiting to see if in fact if the police will enforce them to put down their tents, so it is just a wait-and-see holding pattern right now.

>>james: so this morning is at less tense. >>reporter: yes, it is a little more relaxed. people are just wondering if that something will happen. in the meantime some people said they would just practice civil disobedience but that is about it. there is no notion that they would do anything violent. it seems that people are little more relaxed. >>james: you mentioned earlier that you saw a few police officers circling the area are are they on bikes? >>reporter: they are on foot patrol, there were about five officers standing in the area and then they just kind of walked around. they are in their regular officer uniforms. they're just patrolling and they seemed relaxed and walking around and around. we know that there were a couple of

supervisors out here last night that were here talking to the people. some people think that because the supervisors were out here last night that maybe it has deterred something happening but still, they do not know, they also heard reports about how they mobilize on treasure island and the dog patch area. it's a feeling that some people here feel like they have mobilized to much to do nothing. the >>james: we heard from the see that this could be a biohazard that is why they wanted them to clear out. but the protesters say that they are doing their best to clean it up. you are there, do you see a lot of trash or are they doing a great job in keeping it clean? >>reporter: i think they're doing the best they can to keep it clean. i see people putting things in garbage

cans, but when you just look at this at a glance, it does not look very organized i guess. i hear some people cheering right now, you can see them right there. they're kind of rallying or there together in that area. i see people, like you can see these people right here, they look like they are possibly picking up, setting up a tent or taking it down i am not sure. but i see people throw their trash away, they are collecting the trash and putting it away. so i see that kind of behavior going on out here. >>james: that was yole with her eyes on the scene and we will keep you posted. >>justine: the san francisco mayor says that belongs will be in force on the plaza. protesters do not believe that they should be blamed

for the sanitation problems. conditions already existed down here. we are trying to the best of our ability to mitigate them. rats are an endemic problem in san francisco the city has a right to be concerned about rats. >>justine: they're not sure when the mayor will enforce the rules to kick people out of the plaza but there could be a rainy and we are following this story throughout the morning and we will have details throughout the day. >>james: let us go back over to occupy oakland. we have a lot of disturbing video coming into the newsroom. scott olson is i iraq war veteran his goal was actually drafted by a police project out. we're not sure what it is but this

video shows him laying out on the ground. there were a group of people starting to crowd around him. and then some stayed behind at some point you will see something tossed into the crowd. watch, that is an explosion they believe is another canister of tear gas that an officer threw into the mix of people that were trying to help colson--olsen. he has been taken to hospital he is in critical but stable condition his friend spoke out at city hall yesterday. >> i think it is absolutely unconscionable that some of our citizens can go overseas and protect our citizens just to come back and have our own police injured them. >>james: as i said olson is in stable but serious condition and will follow his recovery. >>justine: we will turn our attention to traffic and

weather, erica is following both the morning. >>erica: good morning, we have a nice clear shot over downtown san francisco. it is a cold start to the morning we are seeing temperatures currently in the 30's as we work our way through the afternoon we will see plenty of sunshine and clear skies. for the most part we are free of fog. just to prove how free of fog we are i will show our satellite picture. as we work our way through the rest of the morning we may see some patchy fog on the coastline but it will not affect the visibility. now this will be what matters to most people as they stepped outside the door. we see most temperatures in the 30's, '40's, and '50s out there. it is about a couple of degrees cooler than the last report. we are at 39 degrees for half moon bay,

some workers, and smoke. the problem is they leave their cigarette butts everywhere and residents complain and i can see how this could be an issue. shortly after the hospital found i was looking into the problem the marin county hospital appeared they add a new sign asking employees not to smoke in that area out of courtesy to their neighbors. that was easy. i am stanley roberts with kron4 news. >>justine: some sports stories now nba players and owners make progress. on wednesday they met for more than 13 hours, the talks were centered around the salary-cap system. negotiations marked the second long as a bargaining session since the lockout began on july 1st. talks

p >> darya: good morning one minute before 5:00 a.m. and our top story is the bay area protesters kept by sticking together as the police moved in to take them apart. 48 hours ago, kept the police broke up the camp in open but be protesters came back. now san francisco protesters are anticipating a raid by the police the kron4 news at 5:00 a.m. starts now. [music] >> darya: let us get right to the developing story out of san francisco this morning. will tran is live out of justin herman plaza. >> darya: his microphone is not working, we will give him about five seconds to

see if we can get at communication back. there has been some police activity this morning in a different location they seem to be staging maybe the launch of a raid, but it did not happen. we also had a supervised the san francisco meeting in the early hours this morning let us go back to will tran. >>reporter: there is a lot of nervousness in the air, people are coming to us and asking us if we know what time the rate will take place the answer is no. if they do not get any answers from us, they go to the police officers and asked them what time they will come. many people did not get much sleep. they're keeping a close eye on the street see if any police officers will be coming here. i saw many police officers are moment ago standing near me. it looks as though they have left the scene. while they were here they were not wearing any riot gear or helmets. they did not have any batons. if

that is indian--if that is any indication, it seems like there's nothing happening right now. you can see in a live shot we have a lot of people standing alongside maybe on some boxes are platforms talking to each other. they are keeping a close eye, they are worried hoping that this does not happen but we will have to wait and see we are monotremes the situation. if anything should happen come back to us immediately. >> darya: have you or the people heard about the moves earlier this morning i guess the supervisors have been holding a press conference at 1:00 a.m. or 1:30 a.m.? >>reporter: they came out last night. as a matter of fact you can see the police car right there they are just driving by. yes, many of them were awake when the supervisors came out they vowed that they would try their best to make sure that

the raid did not happen at least not what we saw in oakland. they are hoping that things will be peaceful but no promises were given. just being in open as well as san francisco even though these are two occupations, there is a little bit of difference here, it is calm and not as tents or ready to explode. i can say that now because nothing has happened but we will have to wait and see. just by looking at how the police officers are standing and talking to each other, they're keeping their distance. >> darya: it was a another strange early development this morning people saw police gathering of treasure island in look like they were staging something and you have been waiting there and they never showed up so maybe there were called off or something? >>reporter: the police officers that we ask perhaps

some of them might say it could happen, we do not know, but all they're saying is no comment. usually they would say i do not know when, or maybe but they just said flat out no comment. that should tell you that perhaps it will happen and they were told to keep their mouth shut. >> darya: we will fall this developing story in san francisco and now we still see some clashes in oakland. >>james: this was the scene last night, the police set up a fence around the grassy area at the franklin plaza. the protesters took those down. we have reports of at least one tent may be more being erected on the grass that they were told not to walk on and set up camp on again. al live at the scene we have jackie sizzle march bring the situation. where

are you in relation to the protesters in the video? >>reporter: i did not see the video but it is hard for me to tell back until you 48 hours after the franklin police into the plaza and took down the encampment, some of the protesters albeit a small number have returned. there are about half a dozen or so occupy protesters set up inside of the plaza. as you said, they have been given the order that they cannot sit overnight apparently they have decided that they will not obey the order and so far we have not see any police action. i can tell you that there was a fence around the plaza and part of the fence is laying on the ground over here. it was taken down last night by the protesters who entered the plaza. obviously the protesters out here this morning are defined that

order. no word from the officials or the oakland police department what they will do or will not do. but right now it is very quiet out here. but the people are defying the order to stay off the grass. >>james: you are in the location where we saw a lot of people tearing down the fence. i do not see a lot protesters have the basically cleared out? >>reporter: yes they have. i just got word a couple of minutes ago that some of them may have taken bart over to san francisco because they got word that there would be some possible action taken over in that area. so they left this protest to go assist the occupy san francisco protesters. but right now it is very quiet. i do not see any police presence at all right now. >>james: thank you very much for that and we have eyes on the ground at both

locations and will let you know of anything it develops. in the meanwhile protesters say they will hold a strike where the students will lead and form a march downtown we will have the very latest on that as a becomes available. in greece, the entire city of workers and students do not go to school and did not go to work. >> darya: >>darya: there are five oakland elementary schools that will shut down at the end of this year. here is a list of the schools set for shut down. district officials say that this move is needed because of declining enrollment and a drop in state funding. the closures will save the district about $2 million a year. the district expects to eliminate about 30

schools in total which will require relocating 900 students to other elementary schools at the end of the school year. also, several small high schools will merge into it to high schools by next fall. we will be back with more in just a couple of minutes.

>>james: here is a quick check on the markets. the dow futures are up more than 200 points. this comes after european leaders agreed to expand the european bailout fund. this is what we saw yesterday on the dow, u.s. stocks finished solidly higher. the s and p added about 13 points. there were reports that china has

invested european financial fund. it took a full night to hash out a strategy for dealing with the european debt crisis. this is video of european leaders meeting in brussels. the plan calls for a significant reduction in the debt for greece. that is what we are looking for this morning. it will also involve private investors taking their losses and providing more emergency funds to the country. >>darya: the time is 5:12 a.m.. there are no hot spots to tell you about. of the big news and weather is how cold it is. >>erica: we certainly have some cold spots. temperatures right now, we see a lot of the '30s. it will be a colder afternoon

substance. >>darya: a piece of history is back at st. mary's cathedral. there it is. this is the 5,300 lb historic del that was stolen last sunday. there is, it was found yesterday. an informant told police that the bill was in west oakland at a salvage yard. it was dirty and covered with canvas tarps, but still in tact. >> we have had alerts to all kinds of scrap yards to look out for this kind of copper coming their way. we got word that this would be chopped up. >>darya: the people of the church are calling this a miracle. >>james: a quick break and then another a live look outside on the james lick freeway in san francisco. we're keeping an eye on

traffic. we are back with more in a moment.

>>darya: overnight an earthquake shook 35 mi. west of reno, it was a 5.2 that struck around 11:37 a.m.. the deaths was 8.5 mi.. no immediate reports of damages or injuries. a small earthquake rattled parts of the east bay. it was centered near the city of black hawk. >>james: the death toll from the earthquake in turkey has arisen. there is some good news coming out of that

tragedy. help has arrived for those officials. rescuers have pulled two more survivors from buildings yesterday. >>darya: dr. conrad murray's is on trial for the death of michael jackson. experts will try to explain the theory that jackson somehow gave himself a fatal dose of the anesthetic propofol. yesterday, murray could be seen crying in court .

>>james: what's go back outside for a quick look at the san mateo bridge. we have been reminding you, we are watching the situation in san francisco, the occupy movement has been developing over the last couple of days.

>>darya: 48 hours ago, police broke up the camera at frank ogawa plaza, but protesters came back. now,

san francisco protesters are anticipating a rate by police. will tran is live at frank ogawa plaza. so far, all is quiet? >>will: they stopped banging the drums may be 10 minutes ago. they are waiting to see if the rates take place. right now is just a rumor. by the way they are addressed, it may not happen. they are wearing normal police uniforms. they are just patrolling the area and keeping a close eye of the situation. it is quite right now. very peaceful. people have been

here for weeks periods people are getting support even from the union leaders. take a listen to what one union leader said. that's what the police or at treasure island. we saw the buses of the bay bridge, over. for one day, we kept the police out and we are very happy. >>will: apparently police officers are strategically located throughout the city including treasure island. i have not seen any other officers patrolling this area we will just have to wait and see. the meantime she says that she is hoping along with other leaders, to set up a meeting with the mayor of san francisco as well as the supervisors, many of home came out late last night. they did not make any promises. they are trying to work with the city of san francisco to see if they could peacefully be

here to comply with the health standards that the city is requiring. if they do that, will the city allow them to be here? right now, no problems or confrontations. we will keep a close eye on the situation. >>darya: with the national attention that oakland has been getting because of the confrontations and splashes, that is the last thing that san francisco wants. there is a big spotlight on what is going on in the bay area. >>will: exactly. i heard from a protester on wall street in new york city who says, they have the people oakland's in their minds and they are rallying over there for support in this city of oakland's. the mayor and police chief in san francisco were also watching what was going on in oakland. these people are

hoping to avoid the same situation which is what we do not see any antagonism at this point. the police officers are down the block. they are keeping a close eye on things but they are not civiengaging with protesters. very not confrontational. so far, it is very peaceful. if we have learned anything, it is that things could get explosive in a moment. >>darya: they are protesting against corporate greed, they just do not want to protesters camping out. >>james: jackie sissel is watching the latest developments in frank ogawa plaza, protesters tore down the chain link fence that was put up by police to prevent demonstrators from

re-entering the grassy area that they were camping on the day before. protesters did not listen to instructions from police, they took the fencing down. the scene is much different this morning w.c. on the video right now. let's get the latest from the jackie sissel just outside of city hall. >>jackie: it is very quiet out here right now. there is a small pocket of protesters to continue to defy the order that there is no overnight camping. subjecthese protesters have been here all night. they did take down the chain-link fence.

it is a 5:35 a.m.. in all honesty, the order is from 6:00 a.m.-10:00 p.m.. and about 20-25 minutes they will not be defying that order. they are allowed to be here from 6:00 a.m.-10:00 p.m.. it is very quiet out here. it seems to be extremely peaceful. we have got word that some protesters left this seen headed over to san francisco to show their solidarity with san francisco protesters because they thought perhaps an operation was underway right now, it is very quiet. they are no longer defined that order, they are allowed to be out here in about 20 minutes. >>james: they are being told

by the city that they could protest, but they do not want them camping or on the grass. that is jackie sissel on the open side of this story. protesters there are saying that they're going to hold a general strike, calling for students to leave their positions and not go to school but instead assemble a march through downtown oakland. >>darya: a lot of disturbing video has been coming out from tuesday night's confrontation in oakland. scott olson, an iraq war veteran was injured on tuesday night. his skull was fractured by a police projectile. they have been throwing to tear gas, here is a video showing olson line on the ground after he was hit by a projectile.

many protesters were already retreating but some did stay behind to help him. >>darya: we just felt shaking in the studio, we just felt an earthquake. it is rare that you feel a jolt here in the studio. we have some hanging lights overhead, our said it is pretty or rock-solid, but i felt everything sway. >>james: we are going to try to get a preliminary magnitude on that. if you did feel that, feel free to jump on to facebook and let us know what you set.--let us know what you felt.

>>darya: the usgs will certainly have the field mapping out for you to tell them if you felt it and where you work. in the newsroom, every time we get news of an earthquake, we did not really feel it. never have i felt one in my 12 years in the studio. in the newsroom, maybe. this was very loud and a set made a squeaking sound. >>james: the lights were swaying. this one felt like a solid it gold. justine waldman is down in the newsroom. >>justine: we felt a little shaking in the newsroom. we are waiting for confirmation that this was an official earthquake. on the seismograph behind a, there was no real movement. we are waiting for an update from

the usgs. it was a little scary, just moments ago, we felt a jolt to. that definitely felt like an earthquake. we just have one last week. it is fresh in our minds, what these things fell like. on the kron 4 seismograph, we do not see any major movements. we are waiting for an update. >>darya: we have a live reporters in the field covering the occupy movement, jackie sissel, where are you and to do feel that earthquake? >>jackie: i did feel it. i felt it about two seconds before you felt anything. i felt a jolt. i am right above the bart station in downtown oakland. many times you think it is the ground shaking from the trains, but

it was a single jolt that i felt. about two seconds later, i heard you mention it. obviously it was propagating it that way. i cannot tell you where the epicenter was, but there was one quick jolt. no damage. no broken glass. normally, bart will shut down the tracks for a couple of minutes for inspections after a in an earthquake. i anticipate that bart will shut down for a couple of minutes to make sure there are no issues on the tracks. >>darya: this is coming on the heels of yesterday's earthquake. >>james: we just have got an update, a preliminary magnitude of 3.9. that has not been verified with the usgs seismologist, the epicenter located 1 mi. east of berkeley, very near where

the others have been just recently. about 6 mi. north northwest of oakland. right there in the hills, just to the east of berkeley. the other earthquakes were just about 2 mi. from berkeley. >>darya: there also a similar magnitude. >>james: yes, right in that same neighborhood. >>darya: i was asking people on facebook if they felt it. people are saying, yes they did. we have a viewer on the phone right now. >>james: this is paul. >>caller: good morning. >>darya: did you feel it? >>caller: i was just getting ready to leave for work. >>darya: how you compare this one to what you felt? to me it was short and sharp. >>caller: it was short.

>>darya: paul, are you prepared for this kind of thing? do you know exactly what to do? >>caller: i am pretty much prepared. >>darya: you have all of the emergency supplies and everything else? did anything fall down?, but not a thing. >>james: you are in san francisco?, but i am in the marina.-- >>caller: i am in the marina. >>darya: sank you, paul. >>george: a 5 minute hold while inspectors stop all

trains in their current positions and some to retract any passengers entering the bart system, you might experience some delays. as soon as they have restored service, we will let you know. no other indications or reports of damage to roadways around the bay area. >>james: we had an earthquake that struck the bay area this morning, 5:36 a.m., a little less than 10 minutes ago, centered in berkeley, about 1 mi. east. in the studio we felt eight short cajoled.--jolt. >>darya: nothing fell down or was damaged. we did hear things squeaking. >>justine: we are taking a

look at the seismograph, it does not show any major movement which i guess is a good side as far as the magnitude of the earthquake. we are waiting for official confirmation about the magnitude of this earthquake. we are sitting in the newsroom and all the sudden we all looked at one another, we felt a jolt. we just had to earthquakes several days ago, this is fresh in everyone's mind what it feels like. there is no damage in the newsroom. we definitely felt a little bit of a jolt. we are encouraging viewers to go to our facebook fan page to share your experiences. we are looking at the kron 4 seismograph. it is a good thing that we do not see any major movement of lines. things are relatively flat. if you have any information on what you felt or what you see, we would love to hear from you.

>>darya: this is just coming in, i am being told that it was felt and paolo also, tunnel and richmond just to name a few cities. george, you are saying that they did give the all clear for bart? >>george: mother was a five minute hold on plays as soon as the earthquake occurred. they have already started releasing trains. people entering the system that will likely experience a little if any delay. so far, no reports of damage. no reports of damage to the roadways. >>darya: we are going to take a look at the earthquake that just happened to. we have matthew of a line. where are you? >>caller: in lower alameda. >>darya: how does that compare to other earthquakes? >>caller: it was not like

the ones a week or two ago. i had just gotten up. i was on a computer. everything around the room started to rattle. >>darya: did you guys get nervous? did you immediately swing into your earthquake plan? >>caller: i got a little bit nervous. i was the only one way. i woke up my wife to tell her what was happening. >>darya: we are zooming in, at the center, there are no reports of damage, but people like to talk about it. >>caller: yes. >>darya: as thank you for calling us from alameda. we have reports that this was felt pretty widely this morning. >>james: i have brought up

the usgs shake map which is a tool that they have of to illustrate how far the earthquake was felt and how strongly it was felt. it is color coordinated. it goes from the very light blue and around the epicenter all the way to read. the lighter the color, the less the shaking. in the red, extreme shaking and heavy damage. right now, it is very light blue, almost teal. some very light shaking, nonexistent damage. as a color spreads out, that is how far out people reporting they felt the earthquake. from west of san francisco, down south to piedmont.

>>darya: in san ramon, linda is on the phone. >>caller: good morning. i guess that was my wake-up alarm. to me, it was a really heavy. i was not sure if it was my husband is shaking the bed. the two earthquakes that i felt last week', this one was eight shake it, move my bed! it was a strong. last week, it was ironic, our dog started acting strangely just before the earthquake last week.

the one that happened the evening. >>darya: and linda, that is what they say, if you are out and about, walking or driving, you do not feel it like you did this morning because you are laying in bed, everything is still and then boom! >>caller: yes. we do have an emergency kit ready to go. i just wanted to call in. it was really strong. >>darya: i appreciate you calling. she is in san ramon. we're getting comments from viewers all over the bay area. we have more comments on our facebook page.

>>james: i live in the san ramon area. this magnitude was a 3.6. the ones that we had last week were also this general strikes. even people in the livermore said that they felt that one. it gives you pause. when the last series of earthquakes winter, just seen the said that she had to sleep in her sweats because she did not know if she would have to run out the house. >>justine: that was my first earthquake. when you are not prepared for them, you definitely want to be ready to evacuate at any moment. it was chilly outside, i thought i would be better prepared wearing sweat o pants. there was an art critic just rattled the east bay about 50-20 minutes ago. it was a 3.6 magnitude. it is early in the morning,

many people are saying, this " the up.--this will clean upoke me up. we are working to get more information on this story. we encourage you to share your stories with us about this latest earthquake. it is a 3.6 that just rattled the east bay. go to our facebook fan page and like us. post a comment. we want to hear your experiences this morning. if you have any damage, take pictures and videos as long as it is safe to do so. we

would love to be able to illustrate this story and see what is happening in the community. it sounds like this earthquake is waking everyone up. centered in berkeley but felt as far away as panel. >>james: we are going to go back to the phones, we have another viewer, line. yale. where are you calling from? >>caller: concord. it was a sharp jolt. it woke me up. the last earthquake's felt like they were from north to south, this one felt the east to west, the way our apartment is situated. i am in a two-story condominium complex. >>james: due notice anyone outside?

>>caller: there are a few neighbors walking around. >>james: did you feel one's about a week ago? >>caller: guests. >>james: how does this compare? >>caller: i was asleep with this one, it did a week me up with a jolt. one last week was a sharp jolt and the other was a shaking motion. this was a sharp jolt. >>darya: as thank you for calling in. the funny thing is, we have our camera crews live in the field covering the occupied protest. one in oakland and one in san francisco. jackie sissel and

oakland's felt it. will tran in san francisco said he did not feel a thing. jackie, have you seen anyone out and about saying that they felt it? >>jackie: i am in frank ogawa plaza above the bart station. i had just finished doing it report on the protesters. as i was put in my camera away, i felt a sharp jolt, about two seconds later i heard you mention you sold and the earthquake. obviously it started over here and propagated east-west as the last of your talk about. it was a definite shirk jolt. at first i thought it was a bart we are in downtown oakland. a lot of high- rises. traditionally, bart

stop service, i have not been able to get down to the trained to see if bart stop service, and normally they will stop service, check the tracks and make sure there is no damage. i am sure that they will want to go to the track and make sure there are no issues. when you are out on a plaza of like i am, sometimes you do not feel it. >>darya: bart to did do their procedural check. >>george: people or on the bart trains when the earthquake occurred. there could still be some residual delays for people entering the system but the trains

are running. we have another caller on the line. kevin, were you doing? >>caller: i was just getting out. all a sudden i felt a jolt and i said to myself, that was an earthquake! >>darya: where are you located? >>caller: i am fairly new to this experience. it is pretty interesting when you are just waking #, you wonder, should i get up?

>>james: when one of these things we see what, you wonder, was that for real? did i dream something? >>caller: that is exactly what you are thinking in your head. my roommate woke up and ask me, did you feel that? >>darya: we should mention that the usgs always gets a more reports on the shake map. james, thank you. did you for sharing your morning with us. >>darya: this was for the wildly--widely felt. >>james: you can see the coloration of a shakeout. for the lighter the color,

as a weaker-shaking. as you go from left to right into the teal, that is when you get late-modern shaking. right around the epicenter, we have that teal color. as you go further out, it is very weak. >>darya: sanfranciscobreast.com not have as much intensity. >>james: ziegfeld light on the map, but it's all very strong here. >>darya: will tran is in san francisco, he did not deal with as well. >>justine: enough to push your chair forward, we did feel it. it has not been confirmed by the u.s. geological survey. it happened just about 1 mi. east of berkeley. the
