jump on governor perry's comment. dave carney said threatening the fed chairman is probably not a good idea. the global rating agency situation said it will keep the rating on u.s. debt of highest grade of triple-a. it said the outlook is stable because of the nation's flexible, diversified and wealth economy and the ability to adjust to changes in the marketplace. on august 5th standard and poor's downgraded the u.s. credit rating from tripal a to double-a plus. moody has the highest grade but said the outlook is negative. and fellow business leaders are closing their checkbooks until washington gets it's act together. howard schultz sent an e-mail urging his peers to hold off on political contributions until the government comes up with a long-term debt plan. he said more are interested in being elected than doing what is best for the country. he has also forwarded the schultz letter to the company

we have breaking news tonight from san francisco where there is a wet mess right now. david stevenson is live on market street now. so david, what is going on there? >> reporter: well, frank, we've watched this unfold since 4:40. take a look between the trolley and the bus passing by, you can

see a ladder truck and people standing out in front of 799 market. behind that building, we have videotape of this, there is a pipe that has burst and is flooding out of a second story building. this building houses a shopping center on its first and second floor and at about 4:45 this afternoon people began streaming out of that store and we're told the managers began evacuating people from the eight-story building because of the burst pipe. firefighters arrived on the scene shortly after, followed by the police department. they went into the back of the building to figure out where the pipe burst and began to work to contain it. people gathered out on the sidewalk waiting to see how soon they can get back into the building. you can see them standing outside of the building right now. we've seen a number of employees wearing customary blue shirts go streaming down the sidewalk to go in. but this is happening at rush hour. you can see the ladder truck is blacking one lane of traffic. it has slowed traffic down a little bit along the street,

but so far the commute has not been so bad. from what we've seen of inside the store, it does not appear that the store itself was flooded. most of the water was streaming out of a second floor vent in an alley behind the building. it appears the fire department will pack up soon. it could be a sign they've been able to contain the water. the next point -- the thing happening will be figuring out why that burst and whether the clean-up will require closing down the building. we've been monitoring this since it began at 4:45 and we'll keep an eye on it and let you know if it results in the building being closed longer for this evening. reporting live in san francisco, david stevenson, ktvu channel 2 news. >> david, is this water used for drinking fountains or is this sewage water? do you know what kind of water this is? >> it appeared to be water linked to a second floor valve. now whether that would be water

used to fight a fire in this building, it did not appear to be sewage water. what we saw of the spray, if you are very clean, firefighters didn't be concerned about contaminants coming from the water. it could be water used for the sprinkler system but for now we don't have confirmation on that. >> and again the traffic situation there on market what, is going on there? >> reporter: well take a look, frank. you can still see the fire truck is still in the lane of traffic. so far it hasn't been much of a problem. it appears to be moving fairly -- as normals you would expect here and a lot of traffic is foot traffic and that's slowed where the situation has been taking place for the last half hour or so frank. >> david stevenson telling us about a water break on the ross dress for less in downtown san francisco. thank you, david. good news for commuters, gas prices are following to between $80 and $90 and the

around this area here, that's twin peaks. so it's wrapping around twin peaks and coming in earth side. so it's that time of night where the fog is pushing inland. tomorrow morning you know it will be there. and then tomorrow afternoon, the high pressure has a little bit more of an influence inland. and so temperatures there will make it into the low 90s again today -- or tomorrow. we did have some low 90s today. temperatures tomorrow in the upper 40s at the cool spots and then most of us in the 50s. the fog forecast model stops at 2:00 a.m. and then there is your seven- day fog footprint. that is not significant. and that's why i'm anticipating more warmth inland, into the high clouds you see coming in from the south, some monsoonal moisture, thin layer and filtered sunshine in the afternoon hours. so tomorrow starts off like today. with the fog tomorrow should be warmer inland, about the same at the coast. in the extended forecast, it

cools off just in time for the bay area weekend. you know the fire danger is not on the head of the newscast or the front page of the newspaper and that's because the weather is mild. the heat is still here in the central valley and that's where it stays for the next few days. out toward fairfield, that's hot. napa just 82. look at pittsburgh, antioch and brentwood, 93 in livermore. 92 in pleasanton. so kind of warm out there. and now along the coast, it's cooler around the bay. 70s and low 80s. downtown san jose about 83 degrees. so a nice weather forecast, beautiful summer day tomorrow as we head into thursday -- or wednesday and thursday, more of the same, and then we'll get a five-day forecast here with your weekend always in view. and you'll see the temperatures tend down. that is the change -- the weekend may see some drizzle as well. >> and the kids going back to school in the bay area. it's like they missed summer. >> you are hearing a little bit of it wasn't that hot but the
