right after that. it was a magnitude 3.7 quake and the greatest shaking that we have reported feeling is in close proximity to the san andreas fault. that means a lot of people in the western neighborhoods of san francisco around daly city down to pacifica reporting some of the strongest shaking and it does vary quite a bit and a short distance. so if you were a little bit closer to mussel rock, that's where the san andreas fault runs right under the ocean. just west of the san francisco zoo. that's where you had that strongest shaking this morning. we're actually sending a reporter joey horta out there to talk to people in that area about exactly what they felt. now, of course, aside from this, a lot of eyes have been on the wind and those dry offshore winds do continue for southern california. something that does remain a threat into early next week. wind advisories for us here in the bay area will continue actually through the weekend, but only for upper elevations, 30 mile per hour gust max for us. so not exceptionally windy, but an a for sure

temperature wise. we're fairly chilly this morning for a lot of us. palo alto in dublin, down in the upper 30's sf at 50 degrees. santa rosa at 39 later today will be talking all about temperatures right back to the 60's and 70's much like yesterday rain. right, john, thank you for those reports. i'm not seeing any delays on bart as a result of that earthquake. >> that we had just before 7 o'clock there. so that's some good news and silver lining friday, light traffic back to it. bay bridge about 9 minutes there. although we started off the morning with an accident on the bay bridge, it slows down. now things are looking much better. 8 minutes long. a richmond center fell bridge the live. you're taking that right around 16 and the golden gate. 37 of the totals about 24 minutes. all regions. back to you. >> thank you, renay. do too, is that i'm an historic breaking news this morning. president elect donald trump has been sentenced in his hush money case, but the judge has decided not to impose any punishment that this will allow the incoming president to enter office without the threat of jail time. trump was

convicted in may of 34 counts of falsifying business records to hide payments to adult film. actress. he's now the first ever former or sitting president to be convicted and sentenced for a crime. >> 802. right now we want to give you the very latest on the wildfires burning in southern california. looks like an inferno, doesn't it? the total acres so far has increased. and so as the death toll, as you can see here, 10 people have been confirmed killed in an unrelated to the wildfires that are burning in southern california. there have a dozen fires that are burning right now and the devastation is even worse this morning, 10,000 plus structures. and we're talking about homes, churches, schools, libraries, restaurants, bars mean just so much has burned. and it's the result of the 2 biggest fires as are the deaths of those 2 big fires are the ones

palisades and the eaton fire should see those here on the map. the 2 largest icons there on the bottom right side of your screen. there's also the hurst fire. the cannon fire. >> basically forming a ring of fire around la county where story mentioned thousands of acres have burned thousands of structures damaged or destroyed. those smaller red dots that you'll see scattered about the map. those are the spot fires that broke out after embers came raining down on those communities. let's take a closer look at one of the latest updates here. la police. and this is video of the kenneth fire. that investigation still ongoing. but police arrested a suspected arson for their potential involvement in that fire. so this latest blaze broke out thursday afternoon, burning homes near calabassas in west hills. this is video of lapd taking that person into custody. we're told people in the area saw this man trying to light a fire. they held him down until police arrived. the lapd provided an update on their investigation. and here's what

they had to say. >> what we know right now is that incident occurred started here and about 20 minutes, 3 minutes later, suspect was detained over woodland hills. why citizens? so someone purposely set the kind of fire? at this time. that's what we believe this. >> we know how or why they did that. i do. is this a crime scene right yes. if everything goes off as being key, that's being investigated. >> well, right now, cal fire's reporting that that kenneth fire has burned now more than 900 acres. it's currently 35% contained. firefighters say it's for progress has been stopped. >> in northern los angeles county, the lydia fire is now 400 acres. but it's 75% contained. so this fire the best news coming from this fire has containment, at least at 75%. this is in the antelope valley. it's about 50 miles north of the city of los angeles. and these are pictures from our ktla sister

station showing the plumes of smoke rising from the angeles national forest. the hearse fire in sylmar. that's the one that's near san fernando that's burned double with the last one 800 acres. but containment is 37%. so that's some good news. you can see the crews hitting it from above. try to get a handle on this blaze that started tuesday night. a lot of evacuations forced in that and what also started tuesday night, the 2 biggest fires, the eaton fire. let's go to that one near altadena 13,000 acres has burned in this. just look at that mushroom clouds. they look like don't this was in the wind that was whipping on tuesday night number. the gusts up to 100 miles an hour. and that's what spread this fire and caused spot fires because you're seeing in the hills, you say, aha, dewine of biden, ocean, and that's just how this fire moved in. one woman talks about losing her home and trying to pick up the pieces. >> a lot of people are kind of okay what we do next. we do next. like again, there's some

people without housing. housing starts at don't home insurance with don't know what to do. so i think this is a direction to know which way to turn, which way to go. what do we do next >> well, the largest fire burning in la right now is the palisades fire. cal fire says that this that has now burned, as you can see if with the graphic nearly 20,000 acres, only 6% contained. graphics is 0. but the latest update this morning just moments ago was it's now 6%. here's more video of what it looked like. it burning overnight near the city of los angeles strike plumes of black smoke going into the air. some neighbors in that area say that they see the damage, but they can't really comprehend it. >> it's sort of mind boggling and numbing and it's like what you see on tv and now. >> you're in the middle of it. it's really just tragic. just really gut-wrenching. it feels like the world stopping right

now. just it looks like a moonscape and just to see the devastation block after block. this is what it looks like. just whole neighborhoods. >> flattened and reduced to rubble. scattered debris, charred buildings. you saw melted car a moment ago and you can still see the heat. >> coming up some of that debris. but through it all, neighbors say they are staying hopeful. they're actually seeing hope in the in the response that they're seeing for firefighters trying to help each other to kron 4 sarah stinson has more. >> it's hard to put it into words. i mean, it's just absolutely devastating. and our community such tight, wonderful community. and it's just very if pacific palisades resident left nearly speechless after seeing the destruction of the palisades fire. >> for the first time on thursday, video from above shows dozens of blocks decimated by the fire. the palisades fire broke out tuesday morning. an unprecedented winds fanned those flames across pacific palisades and malibu. at least 2 people have died in this fire that's now burned more

than 19,000 acres. and officials believe the number of damaged structures is several 1000. the damage in malibu is quite extensive. oceanfront homes and businesses can be seen burned to the ground. everything is destroyed. i mean, it's it's like it's like a new town. it's just. >> and nia lead, it's like award this year. >> alec gillis tried to save his girlfriend's home, but sadly, it too, was lost my heart. my prayers go out for everyone that was really affected and so much of. >> but people lost in these houses is. somebody replaceable. >> and 5 people have died in the eaton fire, including 82 year-old rodney nickerson in altadena. his daughter cameco says he had been through fires before and thought he could survive this one, too. he said that he felt this was not pass over and that he would be here. he's been out >> as long as i've been living my whole life. i came here home as a child. born in

kaiser permanente and sense. they brought me here to this house. and i've been here my whole life with him. i heard a commotion, oakland, native and now los angeles resident shane reagan was keeping a close eye on the neighboring fires when a fire sparked wednesday close to his home near the hollywood hills and literally a mile from here on the hill. >> are just shy in flames. just been increasingly thankfully, fire crews stop the spread of the sunset fire. reagan says this put him on high alert. >> and out of precaution, he's staying with family members elsewhere. so you can do is really just stay attentive try to adapt quickly and consider. >> you know, evacuating yourself. i'm sara stinson reporting kron. 4 news point as we've reported you, her has some people don't have home insurance and their homes are gone. and experts say actually. >> all of the destruction of those homes in southern california could end up driving up our home insurance premiums are in a bay area, especially fire insurance. kron four's will tran in orinda for us this morning with the story will.

>> fire insurance while james about 2000 people in orinda, they don't have at least state farm. they might have other insurance companies right now. but the last year, the controversy in orinda state farm decided to drop about 2000 people because they live in wildfire country as they say in this place in particular. and it just was not worth it for them to continue covering these customers. they have something in common with pacific palisades because about 1600 customers in that area also dropped by state farm just a couple of months ago. this is a crisis in california years in the making. get this from 2020 to 2020 to about 2.8 million californians their insurance companies drop them claiming it was just too risky for them to continue covering them for wildfires because this area has turned into wildfire territory. los

angeles county alone. about 531,000 people lost their insurance during that two-year span. a lot of people are fearful. of course, the fires continue to burn and they say no matter what may happen, it probably will not be good because insurance companies may continue to drop people who have their current insurance policy or if you have your insurance policy and still have it. well, they say that they're they could raise the premium to cover their losses and then to minimize even more loss. they could reduce your coverage. so it's not going to be good for all of us. in california. so say many insurance experts back to you. all everybody could feel the effects. thank you will. thank you. >> still ahead on the kron 4 morning news. more details about the 4 people were found dead in santa rosa. we'll have dead in santa rosa. we'll have that story when come back.

it's 14 at the time right now and we're just monitoring what's going on in southern california. we have a live shot here to show you. >> the incredible amount of smoke coming from this fire. and there have a dozen fires burning. so we do have news on the total structures that 10,000 plus homes, buildings, businesses, schools and the like that have burned. and then also 10 people reported connected dead to the fires and and we say this a death toll is rising because they haven't been able to get into neighborhoods and the last person i heard was identified by moving into rubble and then they said, oh, somebody died

in that fire. you're looking at live pictures here of the pacific palisades area where one firefighter was hurt. this is the eaton fire. >> that's been burning the the second largest of the fires that are burning right now. or you can just the terrain. you really can only attack this from the air. and that's why there using as many air resources as they can. couple days ago. was yesterday we showed you one of those scooper planes that's scoop water off the surface the ocean. fly that and that's on loan. we just found out from a from canada and the police are holding a press conference right now and they reported that somebody flying one of their drones arounn just trying to get pictures, a private citizen inadvertently hit one of those planes with their drone, which they didn't realize the pilot realize aircraft was damage until they landed. and the maintenance crew found what they described as a fist-sized hole in the wing. and so now they're trying to remind everybody that flying drones over disaster areas like this while

they're actively trying to fight the fire is a crime. and that's just one of a number of instances where people have been unfortunately impeding. firefighters in a greater way and people are helping people which is good and fire crews here in the bay area are helping. >> fire crews battle the same look at when you pull out the size is just it's 55 square acres total that have burned so far. >> and we have some firefighters from the bay area to help on thursday fire chief damon covington warned the oakland city council about we know as we look at what's happening down there, think what does it mean for what were the moves were making up here in closing? the 2 fire stations to help fill the budget gap. they have 129 million dollar budget deficit that that should be done because it shows you, hey, what happens when an emergency strikes and you don't have the crew. fact, he pointed out, he said had those 2 fire stations closed that they closed this week had that been shuttered back in october when the caldor fire broke out.

>> the chief argues we could have very well seeing the same devastation here that we're currently seeing down in l a. >> when we don't have our full compliment of fire service. 3 months ago, we could be looking the same way la looks for a person is having a heart attack or seizure port, a structure fire. we could be 10, 12, 15 minutes away because now we're coming from 4 districts. a way to get to that call. >> well, the city is receiving a little more than 2 and a half billion dollars from the sale of the oakland coliseum. but that money won't be enough even if they are able to save one of the 2 fire stations. don't forget, there are 4 more that are slated to be closed in february. so that's just another angle to the story that we're following. >> now we'll start with something a little bit closer to home right here in that is just over an hour ago. you may have felt a little jolt in more than a little jolt. if you are closer to the epicenter of this 3.7

magnitude quake that occurred just northwest of the san francisco zoo nearby the san andreas fault. >> now, those reports of our strongest shaking was in the western neighborhoods of san francisco daly city down to pacifica. but again, just over an hour ago, right around 702 that shaking occurred due to this 3.7 quake shaking on the camera is because of the wind that still persist here across the bay area. but notably for southern california, winds down there not being extraordinarily strong like we saw just days ago, but it is still enough for red flag warnings and high wind warnings for a few areas for a few more hours up until early evening tonight. we just went back under wind advisories over the weekend. we will be seeing those higher elevation wind advisories because of 30 mile per hour gusts right here in the bay area. we still have that extraordinary fire danger for the southern part of the state. you can see a little of that yellow and orange that indicates more isolated high fire danger. but with conditions so dry down there.

and next week, another wind event. it does look like a situation that we need to be very concerned about. as for smoke, most of it's been sent well away from us. but there is a little that will diffuse into the bay area specially the south bay at points today. most of the weekend, though, in north wind kicks into gear and that's going to really kick out a lot of that smoke. so we're not getting a direct hit from that smoke. in fact, just the opposite for the most part, our winds are working in our favor and trying to keep it out of our region. not a lot of wind today, 30 mile per hour gusts in the mountains com or at the surface. our next low. that will break off from the jet and traverse its way just to the east of us is going to result in an uptick in winds again into early next week. this dry offshore wind won't be as significant as that last wind event was. but monday and tuesday are days to watch for socal neighbors and here at home as well. our temperatures have been way warmer than average. in fact, so warm. we've been seeing records broken across the bay

yesterday. redwood city got up to 75 degrees. breaking the record today. i'm going to keep you in the 60's. temperatures in the south bay 70's, san jose at 72 campbell, right at 70 degrees yesterday. we also broke a record in oakland to getting up to 70 degrees today. it'll be 63 not as warm but still warmer than where we should be for january. now, the rest of the month does look increasingly likely to be trending dry. and if that happens, this will be the driest january for the bay area in over a decade right here. so we went from winter rains to a very prolonged dry stretch and a warm stretch at that reyna. >> andy, through the east bay and the south bay, we're not quite friday light that you still see a little congestion there along. 86 85 aaa travel oakland, even want to one of the south bay. you see little pockets of delays there. but the bridges look great. 8 men are right on the bay bridge and no major issues there. 7

along richmond, sandra fell, you need to cross any of the bridges are making good time. she's the highways. you have to get through 40 minutes along 1, in the south bay. that's 85 to menlo park selanne down to 37 about 33 minutes darya. james, back to you. >> thank you very much, renay. 21 is the time of the oakland police commission is seeking public input now on some proposed changes to the city's vehicle pursuit policy. following criticism from governor gavin newsom. so a special meeting will be held today at city hall at 5.30, this evening. and a town hall will take place next wednesday at east bay church of religious science. the changes could affect high speed chases which led to accidents and fatalities. oakland's current policy restricts pursuits to violent criminals but has resulted in higher than average collisions compared to state data. newsom continues to ask for support for the city contingent on police revisions. >> it's a 22. and coming up on the kron 4 morning news. what's going to happen in the

south bay when these rv's along the streets, are told they have to leave. we'll tell you what san jose's mayor is doing. it's 25 right now. we

have new details this morning about the for people who are found dead in a home in santa rosa. police say the victims were all family members and that they were shot to death. their bodies were found in different areas of the home. this house is on monarch court and police went there about 3 in the afternoon for a welfare check because the family had

been seen in days. so people were concerned. and when the police went in, they had to use forced entry. and that's when they found 2 men and 2 women dead at their age is between 33 and 77. they all had gunshot wounds and they were found in different areas of the house. and police also recovered a semiautomatic handgun. that was found next to one of the bodies. police also ended up serving a search warrant in a home on buena crest court in san jose which they say is linked to one of those people who was found dead. on his first full day in office. san francisco's new mayor daniel lurie announced an immediate citywide hiring freeze. that's in an effort to get the city's budget deficit under control. the mayor also directed departments to realign programming and spending with the city's priorities with a focus on evidence and proven results. and that includes a pausing of

new contracts and programs that have not yet been signed or implemented. >> a 26 is the time in the south bay san jose state university now being recognized by the u.s. department of education. sjsu is one of 6 winners of the post-secondary success recognition program. and this was the first time the word was given. san jose state is being recognized for enrolling. a diverse student body and 18 graduates, economic mobility in the fall of 2020 to 35% of the university's undergraduate students receive pell grants. 75%. san jose state students graduate within 8 years. we're going to take a break in a 27 still ahead on the kron 4 morning news. those wildfires in southern california not only approving humans, but also. >> your four-legged friends to we're going to tell you how people here locally are helping out.

>> a 29 right now and we're taking a live look at sfo, things. look, sunny and good there on the tarmac so far. so good. good morning, john. yes, so far so good. it's definitely calm out there. i mean, yesterday we were 60's and 70's. >> it really was a beautiful day yesterday. there are a couple of things that we got to talk about there that are quite the interruption to, you know, on the surface what looks like a beautiful forecast. the first happened about an hour and a half ago and for some of us, it was a real noticeable. that was at 3.7 quake that occurred right after 07:00am just west of san francisco, just west of the zoo right along the san andreas fault. a lot of reports of some strong shaking for western sf. the daly city area down through pacific. so if you felt that just tough

year alarm was going off again at 702, this morning. well, there is your explanation of what was happening now. of course, all our eyes have been on the southern part of the state. we still do have those fire weather warnings. the red flag warnings as well as wind warnings in effect through the early evening tonight here in the bay area. we actually go back into wind advisory starting this weekend for upper elevations. only with 30 mile per hour. gusts expected right here in the bay temperature wise. yesterday was a record breaker for a few areas rising well into the 70's. we're starting this morning. chilly in the 30's 40's to 50's. but we're going to end today comparable to yesterday, right back up into those 60's and 70's under all that sunshine. so get out there and enjoy it. but make sure that you're being mindful of that fire danger, especially in southern california, reyna. all right, john, thank you for that. if you want to get out there, maybe get some things done today. >> now's a good time to do it. i'm not seeing major delays, especially across those bridges, a right on the bay bridge, bart, no major delays

or issues there. 7 across that richmond center fell. the san mateo bridge are at about 15 and the golden gate bridge. 21 minutes starting to ease. back to you. thanks. a lot of tape. 31 in the last 20 minutes, first responders in los angeles county announced the palisades fire is now 8% contained. yeah. so it erupted like a scene from apocalypse. you've probably seen the pictures. >> flames leaping from the hillsides turning everything in its path and to just black andrew and has earned areas now 20,000 acres, courtney friel got an up close look. >> it was a hazardous driving to pacific palisades. this intersection was flooded. there are trees and power lines down everywhere, trash cans and debris littering the streets. here's the routes that burned and a look at the obliterated gal since it's like a war zone home after home decimated with only chimneys remaining few recognizable objects like this chart trampoline, someone's white picket fence stream

melted. this man was too upset to talk on camera with me about losing his home on el medio. it says his 3 young children are devastated. he tells me the neighbors next door had just recently moved in their bmw, burned in the driveway. however, these properties and those heavily demolished in the alphabet streets will likely have an easier time rebuilding than the homes damaged along pch and on the steep cliff site's developer just told me off camera. >> that a lot of these places aren't even going to be able to rebuild like that house, for example. the foundation back in the day it was ok to build there. but now this terrain. wouldn't be legit for coats for today. >> all of the buildings that marquez elementary were completely leveled. and you can see in the background smoke from various house fires continues to rise. i also came across the dozens of cars near palisades drive that were bulldozed out of the way. and you can see several were

charred. it wasn't all bad news. however. >> this is the pacific palisades women's club and we thought this completely burned down. but the building is totally intact. good news about a hidden gem here in la. this is the self-realization center. >> off of sunset at pch, all of the structures around the lake are still intact. only the bathrooms burned down. >> from 05:00am this morning, there's very little water here and that's hard to do. so we're trying to do is utilize our tools. taking water from pools, using whatever our boots just doing as much as we can. >> fire crews talking about the struggle they've had in containing the palisades fire because they have an overwhelming demand for water and that led to cruise having to commit to dry hydrants and then work around that and that

in turn to miss the water pressure and in some cases, no water at all. the low supply is affecting residents, drinking water. now all across la. there's a notice from the county saying that people should only use boiled tap water or bottled water for drinking and cooking until further notice. and the concern over dry hydrants is raise questions about how bay area officials would prevent this from happening here in the event of emergency, retired fire menlo park says it's not unusual to deal with water supply issues in the event of wildfires. but he says it's important for fire departments to have good working relationships with their water suppliers and be ready for when a disaster strikes. >> i don't know all the reasons of why they had the problems that they've had, but it would seem to me with with the forecasting for the severity of the winds. the potential for fire that they would have leaned in. to make

sure that things were going to work. well, if they were worried about that, then you know, that bringing water tenders to make sure that you have a backup, they're doing that now. i know we have a water tanker that we've never sent out of the area and they're looking at some of that down in southern california right before she says there should be an evaluation about the water supply. >> in southern california when all of this is done and then hopefully that evaluation would inform plans for the future. >> wallen tears are on the ground right now from the red cross working hard to help those who've lost everything. 18 volunteers from the red cross of northern california have stepped up to help and they're also mobilizing truckloads of supplies, things like cots and blankets and water. they're trying to assist the thousands of people now that are at 8 different emergency shelters were actually caught up with ceo of the red cross for northern california on ways that we can help out. >> the fastest and most efficient way to make an impact to step making a

financial donation. the other impact that we're seeing is a blood donations not only with winter weather in other parts of the country, but because of canceled blood drives because of the wildfires here in southern california. >> well, there are other ways to help as well. you can donate to organizations to try and help families impacted including emergency services and shelters and providing meals to first responders are evacuees do do make sure, though, that the 2 legitimate cause that you're donating to there are scams popping up now, particularly on sites like gofundme. so be really careful. it helps our parent company nexstar has partnered with the american red cross to launch a donation page for wildfire victims in southern california. just scan that qr code you see on the screen that'll take you to where you can make that donation. >> and also urgent effort underway to help the animals that are being impacted by the devastating fire. yeah, the spca says that animal shelter space is very limited right now refers to a court to actually up in novato where an animal rescue group is helping

as best they can. >> darya and they're really trying to make a difference out here. it's called loves legacy rescue and they are an agency and they are nonprofit, i should say. that helps put half of foster dogs into foster homes here in marin county. and so one of the things they're doing with the money that they've raises buying supplies for those animals, things like this. you know, of course they need dog food down with so many evacuee animals impacted. they also need some bowls as well. some leashes. >> and then some crates to put them in as they get those animals out of there. and take a look at this video. you know, we've seen so homes destroyed. so many people had to evacuate and a lot of the pets and up. it added shelters there. again, the running out of space for that. so it's been devastating and their owners have nowhere to go. and so the pats don't either. so urgent need for those supplies that we just showed you to take care of these animals.

amanda davis is one of the rescuers here. >> it's just it's devastating. it's heartbreaking. there's so i wish i could say that every single one of them, i hope that other people step up and tenant can help any way they can. >> you can donate on loves legacy rescue dot com. they also need people to help foster. they plan to bring dogs back from the fire zone in los angeles this weekend. and so far they told us that over the last year that they helped rescue and find homes for 300 dots here in marin county. they're hoping to add to that number in the next couple of days. back to you. >> appreciated. joey, thank you. and don't forget, we're staying on top of the fires are burning in southern california. keeping you updated if you want the latest information anytime of the day. just head to our website at kron 4 dot com. well, san jose mayor matt mahan is giving an update now on the city's plan to remove rv

francisco are on the front lines in los angeles county helping the firefighters down there. in fact, you could see this video from our crews. it shows them working alongside southern california. firefighters. nearly 2 dozen firefighters from san francisco were sent to los angeles earlier in the week. also, there are crews from alameda and santa clara counties there and a cruise from san mateo county just arrived in socal last night. officials say the bay-area firefighters could remain in that area for several weeks. >> it's 47. now. let's look outside at what we have here locally. we do have that earlier shaking right after 07:00am this morning. if that alarm went off at 7 in the year on the peninsula, probably right after that, you have felt that jolt. and if you are closer to the san andreas fault around daly city, western san francisco, you felt a little bit more of that shaking now as far as the skies are concerned, another brilliantly sunny day here across the bay area. we are looking windy dry, offshore
