7:03 am
delay on the eastshore freeway. we had an earlier crash near central. that kind of ruined the commute. the drive time is way up here as you drive between the carquinez bridge and the macarthur maze. it's double what it normally would take and you should leave the house accordingly, an extra 20, 25 minutes might actually help the accident was there. the accident is gone. right now on 37, we have slow traffic as we normally do, heading west toward marin county out of sonoma and solano county. let's go to live pictures. i want to show you the traffic here will be busy as you drive to the bay bridge toll plaza. 25 to 30-minute delay. we do have a big commute on 580. it's very slow on 580 westbound coming through the livermore valley to dublin pleasanton. back to the desk. the earthquake hit at 3:20

7:05 am
we're here on first street. this is a pretty common sight, what you see behind us here, shattered glass, littering the sidewalks. you can see boarded up windows on businesses like this one and dozens of others all up and down this street. as we walk here up the street, you can see a dramatic sight here here. huge, concrete blocks that came tumbling from the facade of this building that's more than 100 years old. this is the napa historical society, what was the old goodman library. quite a bit of damage done here. this building has been red tagged like many others. state officials say as many as 100 buildings were red tagged after the earthquake. all of them too dangerous to go inside. on top of that, there are a few city and county offices that will have to be closed because of damage today. all across napa and the surrounding areas there are homes, churches and homes red tagged. we understand the california national guard will be doing an aerial survey to get a better sense of all of the damage
7:06 am
here. many businesses, of course, were hit hard by the quick, losing tens of thousands of dollars in merchandise. many wine stores lost a lot of their product. we did find one business that was open this morning, a local coffee shop nearby. >> just the two front windows and i think there's like a -- we're ready to just do business. you know, coffee is important. [laughter] >> reporter: the other big concern today is the schools in this area. we have obviously told you that napa valley unified school district has canceled classes for today because they need to get a better sense of how much damage may have been done to some of those schools and inspectors will be going into those schools later on this morning, searching for damage, making sure those buildings are safe for students and then at some point later on today, they will make an assessment about
7:07 am
whether they will be able to hold classes tomorrow and they will make an announcement for parents at 1:00 this afternoon. that's very important for the students in this area to try to get back into class. a lot of cleanup left to be done here. it can take weeks to clean up the mess. you can see there is a lot of debris everywhere you look throughout the city. it will take quite some time to get all of this taken care of. we're live in napa, alex savidge, ktvu channel 2 news. >> all right, alex. 7:07. it's an emotional time at a napa mobile home park. four mobile homes were destroyed. six others were damaged. yesterday's quake ruptured a gas line and knocked three dozen of the mobile homes off their foundations. the quake ruptured the water line feeding the mobile home park and was so little water pressures, firefighters had to tap into another line nearby to fight the flames. only two minor injuries reported. coming up for you at 7:30, tara moriarty will bring us a live report on more of what happened after the quake. the red cross has opened a
7:08 am
second evacuation center. if anyone who needs a place to stay, one shelter is at the crosswalk community church in napa on first street. the second is at the florence douglas center in vallejo. both are open for overnight stays. red cross says right now they are not accepting donations of food or clothing. they encourage you to help out by making a financial donation. it looked like hundreds of people in napa may not have water for a week. the quake ruptured 60 water pipes and dozens of mains. as of last night, 600 homes still without water. three water stations are set up to give drinking water to those who need it. they are at memorial stadium at napa high school, the los flores community center in north napa and the parking lot on the north side of pearl street. that's west of main. if you need water, though, bring your own containers to

7:10 am
ground creating quite a mess. it's vacant. there are eight residential apartments next door. those people were evacuated. we are told those residents did not stay there overnight. these are some of the buildings tagged throughout the city. security guards have been guarding it and one described the damage. >> part of the roof fell through three floors and it's not safe. that's why they have the street blocked off because of the front of the part of the building, the upper part of the building up top, the bricks are falling down. >> reporter: most of the damage in the city included collapsed awnings and broken windows and glass. a lot of cleanup was being done on tennessee street yesterday where several stores had windows that needed to be boarded up. there were homes where parts of the chimney fell down. damage done has prompted the red cross to set up a shelter for overnight stays at the florence douglas center. a work crew here told me that
7:11 am
they do plan on bringing in a crane to tear down that wall. they will be doing part of it by hand. it's a process that could take several weeks. we do know that five engineers and five building inspectors will be deployed here throughout the city to do a lot of checks. we will stay on top of it as far as any water main breaks. there were 16 water main breaks that occurred yesterday. but the city is saying that all of them were repaired last night as of 8:00. reporting live from vallejo, janine de la vega, ktvu channel 2 news. >> all right. we have more earthquake coverage for you on our chan 2 website. you can go there to see the buildings deemed to dangerous to enter. we have slide shows to show you, powerful photos of the damage, right there at ktvu.com on the home page. we're following developing news out of virginia. we've been telling you about it a few minutes ago.

7:19 am
and just from our map system, you can see how very slow -- it's one long line of slow traffic on 580 and if you are making that turn to go 680 is just -- this is really bad. the only positive thing you can say is everyone is going to school and work but people have something to do. i guess i'm reaching for that one. southbound 101 as you approach 92, san mateo, a little bit of slow traffic approaching that interchange. let's go to steve. people are busy, sal. they have things to do. low clouds and fog some -- a few high clouds wrapping around by a low dropping in. lake county, maybe northern napa, solano, sacramento and the sierra. the low clouds are in place and a cooler pattern is in place for today. looks to be the coolest day of the week monday. maybe we'll be in the hot category by friday. low clouds -- you can see some of the higher clouds right

7:21 am
temperatures which is why the coast is sitting at 60 and then they will end up in the mid-60s because you can't cool off when the water temperatures are that warm. cooler, breezy, inland temperatures take the biggest fall. 70s for some. 60s and 70s coast and bay. but those are actually slightly below average just due to the mere fact the water temperatures are low. the low kicks out on wednesday. that means warmer temperatures. could get warm to hot. high clouds from the remains of a hurricane could filter in by  the weekend. dozens of people gathered over the weekend in new hampshire. they were remembering journalist james foley. ♪ >> now, foley disappeared in 2012 after covering the civil war in syria. last week, there was that video showing his execution by isis militants. british newspapers reporting authorities have identified a british raised rapper as a possible suspect in the

7:35 am
varying degrees. people had varying degrees of damage. some people completely lost their homes. others had lighter damage and then a lot of people particularly initially had no idea what shape their houses were in due to rubble and dangerous areas. one of the hardest things to deal with is the uncertainty. some people came here for information as well. >> reporter: and you have received dropoff donations. you are really looking for monetary donations. >> it's wonderful, the outpouring of support people have. but it's very difficult for us to deal with individual donations of things like clothing and food and what not. we don't need the resources right now. what's most helpful is a financial donation if people are able to do that. they can go to their website red cross to make donations. redcrossorg.com to make

alert before the quake's first jolt. now, the system called shake alert sends data information, that message to some government agencies and businesses around the state. uc berkeley researchers say the program has suffered from a lack of funding, despite the law that requires a system. they say they need $80 million to expand the system. they hope the changes would lead to a warning of 50 seconds before the shaking starts. well, the quake was felt across a wide area of northern california. but it was centered around four miles northwest of american canyon in southern napa county. the shaking was felt from lake tahoe down to monterey county. the quake also on the west napa fault which seismologists say is one of the most dangerous faults. it's about 20 miles long. scientists say it took along the west napa fault t could have been much more destructive
7:48 am
if it had run along the entire fault. peru was there a quake. it hit a mountainous area. that's are reports of damage to buildings and at least two injuries. it was felt as far away from peru, lima. hundred of people in missouri attending the funeral service for michael brown. he's the teenager shot and killed by a police officer. we're there live. we're there inside the church right now. the funeral is at friendly temple missionary baptist church in st. louis. you can see a lot of people packing the church. al sharpton will deliver the eulogy. now, michael brown's father says he appreciates the public's support but he's asking protesters don't rally today. >> all i want is peace while my son is being laid to rest.
7:49 am
can you please, please take a day of silence so i -- we can say our son to rest. >> 18-year-old michael brown was shot and killed more than two weeks ago in ferguson, missouri by a white police officer. his shooting death triggered several protests, many of which were violent. it could be weeks before the napa airport control tower is back open after it was damaged in yesterday's earthquake. the force of the quake blew out mostest windows in the control -- most of the windows in the control tower. newschopper2 flew by to check out the damage. the flights continued to take off and land at napa. however, the tower won't be useable until new windows are installed. that's likely to take several weeks. the airport will remain open with pilots talking directly to each other. that's what they do when the tower is closed at night. city crews will be busy working today on the damaged roads in napa valley. the earthquake caused significant damage on highway
7:50 am
121 where it intersects with highway 29. a lark crack spreads across the road and well into the shoulders and the land and vin vineyards beyond. crews will be working along the corner of white oaks and clear oaks. >> they have a good crew in town. they are responsible. >> you have no control. it happened so fast. and -- wow. >> that's it. you have no control. >> there you go. >> people living nearby say it's unfortunate because many of the roads damaged were just redone last year. >> yeah. >> frustrating. sal, you are watching highway 24 and everything else. >> yeah. there's no break today. in case were you wonder if there will be -- in case you were wondering if there will be a break. slow traffic here la fayette as you get up to the tunnel. it's about an 11 to 12-minute drive. when you get to the bay bridge toll plaza, 35 to 40-minute drive before you actually get
7:51 am
to the san francisco side. but i saved the worst for last. steve -- steve and i use the same kind of graphics. let's go to the maps. right here on 580 and 680, it's ridiculous. westbound, very slow and southbound 680. am i making my point? this is a terrible commute heading down to fremont. we've had problems on 84. one more time, ridiculous. let's go to steve. >> that's very good, sal. >> thank you. >> good morning. low clouds, cooler today. probably coolest day of the week. westerly breeze, not too bad for some. it's been roaring for others. a few high clouds stretching from mendocino county judy up there. 57 and chilly up here. some locations are very mild due to mid-60s. the water temperatures are running very warm. there is a low running along the oregon, california, nevada border swinging in a few high
7:52 am
clouds. they are already accelerating through nevada. it enhances the fog bank. 62 fairfield. livermore, walnut creek. 63 novato. 65 balmy degrees in hayward. 60 in san jose. they did dip to 59. 63 sfo. the breeze is there. it will be a breezy, blustery day for money. san pablo bay out to the delta could be windy. bodega boy is 61 and 65 half moon bay and monterey. therein lies a very warm coastal forecast even though they have a lot of fog. hurricane marie. 450 miles south of baja will not impact except some of the feederbands of baja. it will move into colder water. one forecast model was very bullish for a couple of days on swinging some of the moisture merging with the low along the southwest and bringing in rain. it backed off yesterday.
7:53 am
we'll see what it does for the next couple of days, see if it swings it back in. it would make sense since we've had nothing but tropical moisture since july, but right now, i wouldn't worry about it. we could see some of the cloud cover from that move in. morning clouds, afternoon sun. some of that maxes itself out. the biggest drop will be away from the coast. santa rosa, concord, livermore to san jose. nice on tuesday, then that low moves out. high pressure builds in. it could go from cool on monday to hot on friday. >> thank you, steve. 7:53. new information in the tragic hit-and-run death of a 2-year- old girl in san francisco. coming up in the next hour of "mornings on 2," find out what her aunt was reportedly doing when she left the toddler alone in the middle of the street. carports crashing down during the quake yesterday in the napa area. how some cars escaped damage.

welcome back to "mornings on 2." 7:55. this 98-year-old church in napa is off limits right now. suffered a lot of damage during the quake. newschopper2 was flying over first united methodist church at fifth and randolph streets. the facade of the church separated from the roofline. you can see there. we're told a lot of damage also was on the inside of the church as well. well, the cleanup will continue today at a napa apartment complex where the roof collapsed onto many cars. at least four carports were damaged yesterday at the charter oaks apartments on browns valley road just to the west of downtown napa. one woman who lives at the complex said she wa the roof come down. >> the earthquake just stopped. i just saw the whole roof of the carport just collapse and it was loud.
7:57 am
you could hear cracking and a big boom and it just landed right on all of these cars. >> it's unclear how many cars were damaged. but it appears some smaller cars may have been spared if they were parked between taller creeks, it kept the roof from crushing them. 7:56. a multi-million dollar price tag for cleaning up vallejo after yesterday's quake. coming up right after the break, what they are doing out there to pick up the pieces after this weekend's earthquake. >> reporter: a lot of people surveying damage in downtown napa after yesterday morning's quake. we'll tell you about the cleanup that's underway and the inspections coming up. right now we're still looking at slow traffic especially in the east bay. 880 still looks good if you want to get to downtown oakland. that might change, too. we'll be on it. plenty of low clouds in place. a decent sea breeze to the west. it will be cooler today. we'll talk about how long this
7:58 am
pattern lasts and what's in store for later in the week.
7:59 am
wow. yesterday morning's quake was the biggest bay area quake in 25 years. and now as we brace for more
8:00 am
aftershocks in the weeks to come, the tough cleanup begins recovering from the widespread damage. well, this is just one example of that widespread damage. take a look. this is napa this morning, a close-knit community hit hard by the earthquake. just take a look at the damage from newschopper2. rubble, rattled nerves remain the big issue for many people living up there. ktvu's alex savidge is up there right now. in two minutes, he will have a closer look at the damage. we'll join him in a couple of minutes. good morning. thank you for joining us. "mornings on 2." it's 8:00. i'm pam cook in for tori campbell today. and steve paulson, i see him over there, heading over to the weather center. pretty cloudy. >> i had to post the visible satellite on facebook. a lot of low clouds and high clouds. high clouds stretching from mendocino county, lake county through sacramento. also up towards the sierra nevada. it's the low cloud deck. it's courtesy of this low which is in oregon, northeast california and nevada.
8:01 am
that will give us a cooler day. it does not look like it will stick around. by tomorrow it should start to eject out. the lows continue to be very warm. 60s for many. almost everybody here. only a smattering if you will of some 50s on the temperatures. 20 to 26 at travis. had gusts to 39. there is a westerly breeze for most. although southerly also in san jose, water temperatures are warm, warm, warm. 65 monterey. san francisco buoy, 64. a persistent south wind. overall today, low clouds, sunny, breezy and cooler. morning clouds will retreat back to the coast. might take a while. there will be some breaks there. 60s, 70s coast and bay. here's sal. we're still looking at very slow traffic. you can see traffic will be backed up in many areas starting off, in fact, we'll start off with the eastshore freeway, i think. let's go to the maps. apparently they will have a mind of their own. 580 westbound very, very slow
8:02 am
traffic as you drive through. most of it is under the speed limit here and then making the turn as a lot of people do, it's slow. 880 very heading down to fremont. let's go to the bay bridge toll plaza. that's a 25, 30-minute drive time into san francisco. we're talking about the east bay -- i'm sore ri the south bay, northbound 280 and nay, right through northbound. it does slow down through 17. getting word of a ten-minute b.a.r.t. delay from san leandro to dublin, fremont and richmond because of a medical emergency. it's reported as a ten-minute delay. it's 8:02. back to the desk. we continue to follow the very latest developments in the aftermath of that magnitude 6.0 earthquake that hit the bay area early yesterday morning centered near american canyon hit at 3:20. significant damage has been reported. not just in the napa valley but vallejo and american canyon as well. you are looking at some of the damage inside some of the stores up there. governor jerry brown has
8:03 am
declared a state of emergency which allows all available resources to be directed toward earthquake response efforts. now, we do have live team coverage for you this morning. crews are in napa and vallejo. ktvu's janine de la vega in vallejo with more on the damage there. let's go to alex savidge who is in downtown napa where business owners are assessing the damage. good morning. a huge mess left behind for business owners in the downtown napa area. many will be closed for quite sometime. this is a common sight around here. front windows boarded up. you can see the sign on the front door of this sushi restaurant. it says, caution, do not enter. this building has been red tagged. as we move you down first street, you can there's yellow tape up fencing up around many of these stores. most of them will not be able to open for quite some time and then there's this dramatic scene as we take you across the street. this is the napa county
8:04 am
historic society. you can see what happened here. the stone facade on this building came crash, to the ground when the shaking started early yesterday morning. a very drugs situation obviously but luckily, no one was here when the shaking began early in the morning. but this building has been red tagged. let me show you the scene we saw a short time ago. we saw structural engineers. they were out and about in this area taking a look at many of the buildings that have been red tagged and yellow tagged. surveying some of the damage and trying to figure out how to move forward to repair some of this damage. state officials say as many as 100 buildings have been red tagged because of yesterday's earthquake all of them too dangerous to go inside. that includes many city and county offices that will be closed today. there are also a number of stores, churches and homes that have also been red tagged. later today, we also understand the california national guard willing doing an aerial survey of all of the damage. a lot of businesses were hit hard with merchandise
8:05 am
destroyed. a short time ago, we talked with the owner of an antique shop a couple of blocks away from here. her place won't be able to open for at least another day or so because of a shattered front window. all of the shelves and the glass cases in the back all fell, you know, like -- fell like dominoes, everything on the shelves fell. you have to get the shelves out of their after breaking what didn't break. we're getting there. >> reporter: all of the schools in the napa valley unified school district, that includes schools in yountville, napa and american canyon are closed today. no classes today. that's because inspectors need to go inside all of those schools, take a look at the damage, make sure those schools are safe to put students back in the classrooms and they will make a determination later on today about whether there will be, in fact, classes on tuesday. and that decision will be announced at 1:00 this afternoon for parents. as we bring you back out here to a live picture in downtown napa along one of the main
8:06 am
shopping thoroughfares here, this is the napa historical society with a huge mess left behind. a lot of cleanup to do this morning. a bit of good news to pass along for people in this area. pg&e did tell us this morning that the power has been restored to all but 150 homes in this area right after the earthquake. there were 70,000 people in the dark. we're live this morning in napa, alex savidge, ktvu channel 2 news. >> all right. time is 8:06. it's still an emotional time at a napa mobile home park. fire destroyed four mobile homes. six others were damaged. yesterday's quake ruptured a gas line and three dozen mobile homes were knocked off their foundations. the quake broke the water line that feeds that mobile home park. with so little water pressure, firefighters had to tap into another nearby water line. only two minor injuries were reported. it looks like hundreds of people in napa may not have water for a week. the quake ruptured 60 water pipes and dozens of mains in
8:07 am
napa and vallejo. as of last night, 600 homes still had no water. three water stations have been set up to give drinking water to people who need it. those water stations are at memorial stadium at napa high school, the los flores community center in north napa and the parking lot on the north side of pearl street. that's west of main. if you do need water, though, please bring your own containers. >> the quake damage is not just in napa. the nearby city of vallejo south of the epicenter, they were hit hard with millions of dollars in damage. ktvu's janine de la vega continuing our live team coverage from vallejo where some of the streets and buildings are still off limits. janine, you were able to go inside one of those buildings. >> reporter: yes, dave, we were. it's bad. georgia street is blocked off because of this building, that red brick building is red tagged inside. it looks like a disaster zone. that building was built in the
8:08 am
early 1900s. so it wasn't retrofitted for an earthquake. here is some video we just took inside that building when the quake hit it. it caused part of the roof and balls to come crashing down -- walls to come crashing down four floors leaving quite a mess inside. the structure itself is not stable. so an engineer and kerter were brut in to figure out how to go -- contractors were brought in to figure out how to stabilize it. this is one of 41 buildings damaged in the quake. they are mostly located in the downtown area and on mare island. >> obviously, not happy. but we realize that these potential dangers were there and we knew it had to be retrofit to stop that. so it's now -- we've in the situation that -- we're in the situation where it's an easy decision to make of what has to be done. >> reporter: now, most of the damage in the city included collapsed awnings and broken
8:09 am
windows and glass. a lot of the cleanup was being done on tennessee street where several stores had windows that needed to be boarded up. there were homes where parts of the chimneys fell down. the damage has prompted the red cross to set up a shelter for overnight stays. that's at florence douglas center on amador street. five engineers and five building inspectors will be deployed throughout the city to assess the damage. water is not an issue here. the 16 water main breaks that occurred yesterday have all been repaired. the quake did not affect any of the schools in the vallejo school district. back out here live, one of the plans here is to bring in a crane and to get that wall torn down and make it level with the other buildings. that's something that could take some time. again we spoke with the owner that you heard from and he says he is trying to look at this as a positive because now they can make sure that the building can
8:10 am
be retrofitted for an earthquake. reporting live from vallejo, janine de la vega, ktvu channel 2 news. federal emergency officials have already flown over the napa area examining the quake damage. that is the key step for the federal government to begin helping the area recover. however, ground level inspection cannot start until it's safe for crews to go inside the buildings. it may be days before that happens. after that, the federal government will decide what it will do for the quake victims. some property owners will ask their insurance companies for help. but only 17% of california homeowners actually have quake insurance. the state does not require it. most homeowners policy exclude earthquake insurance. the cost varies depoepedding upon the location, size and what the home is made of. but statewide, the policy costs about $860 a year. we have more earthquake coverage on our ktvu channel 2 website. you can see the list of buildings that have been deemed to dangerous to enter.
8:11 am
we have several slide shows with powerful images of the damage right there on our home page, ktvu.com. >> all right, pam. still ahead -- helping people in a time of need. coming up in 22 minutes, we're live out there, the specific way you can help people affected most by the napa quake. and even though the quake was hours earlier, it still caused some football fans to miss the start of the 49ers' game. we're recovering on 237. we had an earlier crash near 101. things aren't that bad. the accident cleared quickly. there is a little bit of slowing as you approach santa clara. plenty of low clouds and also some higher clouds associated with the low everyone mooing near with the oregon/california/nevada border. hey pal? you ready? can you pick me up at 6:30? ah...
