>> reporter: people here in the napa area working hard to get back on their feet after sunday's earthquake and there is still a lot of cleanup left to be done. we'll tell you about the effort to get federal aid to this area. we have developing news from the nevada desert. a tragedy at the burning man festival. new details we just got in about the death of a woman. cracking down on crimes in trains and stations. we'll tell you how b.a.r.t. is going high tech to help make it easier for riders to report crimes. also, another holiday weekend freeway closure in san francisco. the reason the timing of this one may catch some drivers offguard. "mornings on 2" starts now. we're back up live in napa this morning continuing our coverage of the struggles that people are still facing.

a lot of damage has not been touched in the cleanup yet. the -- it's been four days since the quake hit the area. ktvu's alex savidge has been up there all week. coming up in a few minutes, he will tell us what local leaders are doing in a few hours to try to speed up the recovery areas and people are still without water which is tough. thank you for joining us. "mornings on 2." i'm pam cook in for tori campbell. >> i'm dave clark. let's talk about weather and traffic. steve, when i ducked out, it didn't feel too bad. >> it's cloudy. yesterday was sunny. there is a big difference. a big fog bank, a system racing up to the northern part of the state has helped to give us more of an onshore breeze which will equal slightly cooler temperatures. a 9 livermore. 58 -- 59 livermore. 58 fairfield. half moon bay, 59. san jose holding at 62. not far away, it's cooler.

18 it's been coming undo. had gusts to 29 at travis. west at concord. northwest napa, oakland. sfo out to livermore, a little more northwest. a little bit more fog. slight cooldown for some away from the coast. i don't think too much change closer to it. fog, sun, mild to warm. 80s to 90s for some. 60s, 70s, closer to the water. here's sal. all right, steve. we're looking at a commute that's busy all of a sudden. a couple of new incidents have popped up. the toll plaza is backed up for 15 minutes. if you are approaching from 880, that approach looks good. this is the precursor of a lighter than-than-usual commute. when that starts to get better, i think the rest of the commute will follow. also looking at the san mateo bridge and 880 northbound, 880, a crash up near davis street has traffic backed up from 238 heading up north toward the coliseum and slow traffic southbound from 238 heading down to fremont. i also want to mention the

traffic continues to slow past thornton where it normally does. 580 is slow coming into the livermore valley and just -- let me see if i can move the maps to the south bay. just got a crash reported northbound 101 at moffett field. a car ran into a tree. this could affect the 237 commute. 7:0 it. back to 280 -- 2:07. back to 280. that looks good. now to the desk. we have continuing coverage of the aftermath of the earthquake in napa. ktvu's alex savidge up there with the action napa county supervisors are expected to take today to help the region recover. you can still see a lot of damage. >> reporter: yeark the damage is ef -- yeah, the damage is everywhere you look. napa supervisors are expected to approve what's called an emergency declaration. that's all in an effort to try to bring federal dollars to this area to help out with the

cleanup. there are issues everywhere you look, including this collapsed carport. dozens of cars trapped underneath after this structure came crashing down early sunday morning when the shaking started. all of these issues making life lift for a lot of people whose cars are stuck under here. all across town, you see buckled roads still and broken water lines are still a major prob -- major problem as well. a lot of people still have no running water. a lot of people have homes they can't live in. business owners have stores and restaurants they can't open because they were so badly damaged. more than 100 buildings had been red tagged since the earthquake. and beyond the damage, many people just say the intense shaking that morning has left them on edge, unable to relax. >> when i close my eyes and

listen to the sunday of something i'm scareed. >> the estimated damage, $00 million. that figure will factor into how much federal aid comes into the napa area. one lawmaker is planning to ask the president to declare a state of emergency soon but that sort of declaration could still be several days away. meantime, as we bring you back here to a live picture, people with the cars under the carport have had to find other ways to get to school or work. and to make matters worse, some insurance won't cover insurance to the cars. we're live in napa, alex savidge, ktvu channel 2 news. well, earthquake insurance will cover some of those repair costs but, unfortunately, only 5% of napa homeowners bought the special policies, that's according to the california earthquake authority. melinda adams is one of the people who did get the coverage. she still has a hallway filled

with broken items and is not getting much of a chance to clean it up. that's because she is insurance agent and is spending 12 hours a day talking to clients, that includes one client whose mobile home was destroyed by fire. >> it gets your heart. it really does. we have to stay focused and get it taken care of. >> insurance companies have set up tents to help answer questions. they say some damage might be covered by auto insurance or renters insurance. they also have advice for everyone in earthquake areas. document everything you own now using photographs or video. that will help when the next strong quake had i hit -- hits. napa valley winery are calling on tourists to come back to the wine country. 95% of napa valley's wineries are open for business. that's according to the press democrat. they are still assessing the damage from the quake. some lost tens of thousands of dollars worth of wine. they say if the tourists stay

away, the losses could have a big impact on the napa valley economy. september is harvest season. that's typically the busiest time of year. the mayor of martinez is calling for property owners to make their buildings safe in the wake of the damage in napa. the city passed an ordinance in 2009 requiring unreinforced masonry buildings to meet current earthquake standards. the contra costa times reports more than three dozen buildings have completed the retrofitting but letters have gone out to the owners of nine buildings that have not submitted plans to the city. work has to be completed by august of next year or the city could red tag those buildings. we're still following developing news. it's about the death that occurred at the burning man festival in the black rock desert in nevada. festival organizers say a woman died early morning after she fell under a bus. now, a ktvu staffer is there at the event and witnessed the scene. now, this statement has been posted on the burning man blog.

they say the woman's death was a terrible accident. almost 100 police officers have been out there patrolling the week-lock event. it's expected to attract a record record of 70,000 people. the fest valley started in san francisco back in 1986. it moved to nevada four years later. well, later today, b.a.r.t. police unveil the latest high- tech crime-fighting tool. they call it the b.a.r.t. watch upia. tara moriarty is at the concord b.a.r.t. station. >> reporter: it's called b.a.r.t. watch. you can take pictures without a flash. so it's quite discreet. then you type in what the problem is, you upload the pictures and location information. it's also gps enabled so officers can pinpoint you if necessary. riders say they've been asking for a safe and silent way to communicate with b.a.r.t. when they are on a train or a

station and they see something suspicious or a crime underway. >> it makes fee feel safer. it's a really good option when you are not quite sure how to handle a situation. you can just easily alert somebody and not draw attention to yourself while doing it. >> reporter: now, an app like this might have come in handy during an incident last june. you may recall a naked aco crow bat began accosting people while doing gymnastic moves at a b.a.r.t. station. passengers can call authorities while use the train intercom. this is just another option. b.a.r.t. will unveil this app at the station at 11:00 this morning. tara moriarty, ktvu channel 2 news. 2 investigates goes inside the special program implemented by only a handful of bay area police departments that keeps tabs on repeat drunk drivers. the so-called hot list is a secret list compiled by the

there are reports that jpmorgan chase and four other large financial institutions have been hacked. although j.p. morgan won't confirm the report, it does say companies of its size experienced -- experience describe attacks every day. the fbi is working to find out the size of the attack but would not release details. the original report believes russian hackers are behind the attack. a flight from canada to cuba had to turn back and it had a fighter jet escort after two women started fighting on the plane. a spokeswoman for sun wing airplane says the women drank and i'm quoting "significant quantity of their duty-free alcohol in the plane's bathroom yesterday, then they lit a cigarette. that triggered a smoke alarm, the women started to fight and reportedly they made a threat against the plane." both of those women were arrested when the plane land

back in canada -- landed back in canada. many students at a east bay community college are upset they didn't get a warning about a hazardous material scare. smoke was pouring from two barrels on tuesday at a chemical plant at chabot. a shelter in place alert went out to homes. but the school that had thousands of students was never notified. >> something could have definite happened to us. i'm disappointed that i didn't find out until i got home. >> chabot college's president said the school may not have been notified because of the distance from the chemical company and the direction of the wind that was blowing. she also adds the school safety officer did go to the scene and was told that the college should not be concerned. new this morning, the news you've been waiting for. it's official. brad pitt and angelina jolie are husband and wife. a spokesperson confirms the couple tied the knot in a

french village. it was a small ceremony conducted by a judge from california. all six of their children took part. they started dating back in 2005. they've been engaged for two years. they said they would not get married until gay marriage is legal in all states. people are already commenting on twitter. >> feeler, pam? >> i know sal has not been sleeping wondering about the news. >> absolutely, pam. absolutely. no, not really. [laughter] >> thank you, pam, that was funny. let's take a look at what we have. 101 was slow. i was wonder what was going on. there is a crash up the road. northbound 101 at moffett field where a car ran off the road and into a tree. injury accident, traffic a little bit lighter because the traffic already recovered here

in this area. it's a little slow in sunnyvale. i also want to mention that we have slow traffic on 880 northbound coming up to oakland because of an earlier problem in oakland near the coliseum. it's clear. but traffic is slow. 580 is a decent alternate. 580 looks good through oakland. when you get to the bay bridge toll plaza, the traffic here is moderate. it's about a 15-minute delay. if you are approaching from 880, i would say that would be the best approach, especially if you have fastrack. i want to mention our cameras caught a high-speed chase on interstate 880 in oakland and just after 4:30 this morning, just after we went on the air, we noticed 100-mile-an-hour plus chase right through the middle of downtown oakland and then headed south toward the coliseum. and it continued for a good long while as the chp was considering at one point doing a round robin to keep cars away from this high-speed chase southbound. one more shot of it here will show us that southbound 880, the cars are coming pretty fast approaching the coliseum.

eventually got off in east oakland where that -- either the man surrendered or his car konked out. no one was hurt. let's go to steve. thank you, sir. we have a much, much bigger fog bank today compared to yesterday. a lot of areas were clear. the coast didn't have much fog. marin did. today there's a lot more to go around. 59 in san francisco. it should be 55. water temperatures continue to keep the coast and much of the san francisco around the bay, the lows well above average. 68 for a high which is close to where we should be this time of year. oakland's low should be 56. checking in at 68. 75. yesterday one above far many locations but the fog has come screaming back because of the system pushing in. that's helping kind of enhance the fog a little bit. tropical storm now marie not much left of it continues to work its way out in the pacific. some of the moisture once it falls apart might head back in

our direction over the weekend. that would be about it. the breeze has picked up. it collapse. without the delta breeze temperatures warmed up in the 90s. it's running cooler. livermore is in there. fairfield, mid-50s. napa as well. half moon bay, 59. fog back on much of the san mateo, santa cruz coast. that was not the case yesterday. still some 60s and 50s. la honda, 52 on the peninsula. los altos hills 59. palo alto says 63. menlo park 60. same for foster city and belmont. you can see the water temperatures, 64 point reyes. san francisco buoy, monterey i think bodega bay is at 62. very warm. it's not el nino. it's we've had a southerly breeze for the longest time. that keeps warm conditions on the coast and also those warmer ocean temperatures. 59 up in ukiah. there is the gray. that equals a cooler pattern inland. still warm. fog, is up, warm. breezy at times. now the braze won't help

clearlake. 96, 85. 86 in napa. 87 walnut creek to 94 in brentwood and oakley. 90 livermore. that's down 5 from yesterday. alameda, 72. 70s for many. 82, san jose. 91 morgan hill, fremont, 80. cupertino at 85. 73 san bruno. 65 daly city. our observer in daly city, antonio, he says 65. he's there and i believe it. 67 pacifica and 82 menlo park and also for mountain view. low cloud deck will be cooler. not a lot. these are subtle changes and then a little warmer on sunday/monday. 7:21. he lied. that's the new development in the bizarre story involving a captain of the usc football team. earlier this week, josh shaw was called a hero. he said he jumped off a second floor balcony to save his drowning nephew and injured both of his afnlles in the process -- ankles in the process. that story posted on a usc blog went viral.

now he admits he lied about it, that he was wrong not to tell the truth and usc is apologizing for the post. as of right now, we still don't know how shaw really injured his ankles. he has been indefinitely suspended from the football program. developing news in ukraine. the president says russian troops have crossed the border. they are invading ukraine. this could be a big problem for the united states. also up next, we're learning about a possible new clue in the search for that missing malaysian airlines flight. the phone call that may need to clues and the location of the plane.

an employee from the centers for disease control back in the u.s. after being

exposed with the ebola virus. that person came in contact with an international worker who had the virus. the cdc said the employee is not sick, has no symptoms and is no risk for pub -- to the public. that worker is not being isolated right now but will be watched over the next three weeks. there is word about the possible new clue about the missing malaysian flights 370. australian authorities are analyzing an attempted satellite phone call made by the ground staff of malaysian airlines to that plane after they lost radio contact on march 8th. authorities say based on information from that phone call, they now think the plane turned south earlier than they first thought. despite months of searching for it, no signs of that plane have been found. we do have tragic update on the story about the employee

working for "cop". that man was killed on a segment of an armed robbery at a wendy's. police say the suspect had a gun, fired shots at them and opened fire. now, the photographer was hit by a bullet from a police officer's gun. the suspect's gun turned out to be a pellet gun. that suspect was also killed. the entire incident remains under investigation. a serene memorial was vandalized for the second time this month. earlier monday morning, police say someone damaged names etched in the a.i.d.s. memorial grev. they say the vandalism is unlike anything he's seen before. >> in all likelihood, the cost of the damage is in the hundred of thousands of dollars, may even approach a million dollars at this point. >> the original stone engraver will examine the damage tomorrow to see if his work can be repaired or if it has to be replaced. now, it's the second incident

of vandalism in the grove this month. two weeks ago, someone cut down trees and damaged benches. police say it's too soon to call the incident hate crimes but they are increasing patrols in that part of the park. well, once again, 280 in san francisco will be closed for a holiday weekend. why this latest closure may surprise many drivers heading into the city today. disturbing video of a ceo of a sports concession company repeatedly kicking a dog has infuriated animal lovers. it's a company that services levi stadium. we'll tell you how the 49ers are responding. and we're still looking at traffic on 280 in san jose. we're getting a little bit of slowing still. i will tell you what the south bay commute is looking like coming up. wasn't much fog yesterday. temperatures warmed up considerably. there is a lot more today, especially up and down the coast. a little cooler. we'll have the cooler forecast.

tropical storm. calistoga, 51. angin 56. 55 petaluma. 57 sebastopol. the delta breeze holding steady. it was about 12, 9. westerly at concord. westerly at livermore. slight cooldown from yesterday. still warm, but near average to slightly above. yesterday was well above for some. a little cooler. 80s for many through the interior. 60s and 70s. coast and bay. here's sal. good morning. we're looking at traffic that's busy even though it seems a little lighter than usual. it doesn't mean it's completely open for you. we'll start off at the bay bridge toll plaza. we have a 15, 20-minute delay. you look over to the left and you see the ramp from 880 is the best way to get there. you will kind of bypass a lot of the traffic. a 20-minute drive time into san francisco from the toll plaza. interstate 880 heading south toward the coliseum looks good. but northbound 880 you are going to see it.

it was an earlier crash. 880 near 98. that's gone. if you are making the choice, i would say make the choice and get on 580 instead. if you are going to be in the city this afternoon, you will want to plan ahead. northbound 280 is going to be shutting down, happening today at 2:00. ktvu channel 2 reporter, brian flores is live in san francisco with more on how this closure could catch a lot of people by surprise. >> reporter: all right, sal. good morning. when crews were working on the southbound direction during the memorial day and july 4th weekend, the work started really after the evening commute. this time around, taking a look at northbound 280, traffic moving nicely. works begins at:00 in the afternoon. that certainly -- at 2:00 this afternoon. and that could have an impact on traffic. here is a map of the closure. it affects northbound 280 from the 101 interchange to king street near at&t park. keep in mind, too, thatler northbound onramps that will be closed. it includes alemany boulevard, the 101 connector to 280,

indiana street, 25th street as well as 18th street. work similar to what they did on the south side is about retrofitting. they will replace hinges near cesar chavez street. crews want to get this work done sooner rather than later, especially with the timing of the earthquake in napa on sunday. but they tell the chronicle, they are starting not as a reaction of the quake but this was planned and it gives them more breathing room. with the closure starting at 2:00 this afternoon on thursday, today, the closure has many people packing patients for the weekend especially with the giants in town. >> i feel like i will be forced to take caltrain. >> rather than try to go all the way around? >> too much of a hassle. >> we'll stay home and avoid the traffic. having to find an alternate route, really. >> reporter: the project is expected to last until 5:00 a.m. on tuesday which is when it's

punishment. >> i would be hesitant to go to at&t and buy any food from that stadium seeing this video. >> reporter: now, there is an online petition on change.fall august -- change.org falling for him to be fired. janine de la vega, ktvu channel 2 news. well, the 49ers and the raiders, they are getting ready for their final preseason games before the regular season starts. both teams play their final preseason games today. the raiders hosting the seattle seahawks. you can see that game right here on ktvu channel 2. that's at 7:00 tonight. the raiders open their season september 7th, they will play the new york jets in new york. now, tonight the 49ers are in houston, texas. the kickoff against the texans, 5:00 p.m. the 49ers open their season september 7th against the dallas cowboys.

it collapsed yesterday. the temperatures soared up. concord still west. napa west, sfo out to livermore. a little bit more of a westerly breeze. so the fog will burn off a little slower here today. that means cooler forecast. a little breezy at times. nothing crazy. but 80s low 90s for some in the interior. 60s, 70s, coast and bay. here's sal. right now we're looking at slow traffic in many areas and we're looking at the toll plaza where traffic is going to be superbusy as you drive up to the toll plaza although, again, the 880 approach is good. and it is lighter than it normally would be. this is 880 in oakland. it's been slow because of earlier issues. northbound 880 near 98 we had a crash. we also have a crash in milpitas. i want to put it on the maps for you. the crash is westbound 237 at zanker road. i put a little icon. traffic is backed up all the way over to 680 on 237. after that, though, there is a break and then there's slow

traffic approaching 101 again. so 237 is not that great. you might want to think about using the mon that gu expressway as an alternate -- montague expressway as an alternate. back to the desk. we have continuing coverage of the aftermath of the earthquake in napa. alex savidge joins us with the work that's underbay to repair -- underway to repair some of the homes and businesses and the move the county leaders are planning for today. >> reporter: pam, good morning. we're here in downtown napa along first street. there is quite a bit of activity going on behind us. let me give you a look live. you can see work crews are beginnic the process of doing -- beginning the process of doing repairs in the downtown area that houses an italian restaurant. they will be doing work to the outside of the place. this is one of the ones that was yellow tagged. as soon as they get this work done, they are hoping to reopen. everywhere you go, you see this kind of damage. many stores and restaurants will be closed. later on today, though, the napa county board of

contract at levi stadium and at&t park. we've reached out to the giants for reaction and are still waiting to hear back. the 49ers released a statement saying the organization condemns the abuse of animals and was disturbed to learn of the recent news regarding hague. we believe his actions are not reflective of the efforts and service provided by the hundreds of centerplate employees working to serve our fans at levi stadium. centerplate's board voted to put hague on probation and are requiring him to donate $100,000 to help protect animals in vancouver. he will have to spend 1,000 hours in community service in an ail mal organization that protects animals. hague said he was ashamed. he said he had minor frustration with a friend's pet and caused him to lose control of his emotions. we asked people about the situation. >> i wouldn't want to association myself with anyone

who hurts an april mal that way -- an animal that way. >> should not be a dog owner, and it's carried into the workplace. to treat a dog like this, your employees could be treated in a similar fashion. i would be reluctant to buy food from them. >> reporter: some people have started an online petition on change.org calling for hague to be fired. so far there doesn't seem to be any plans for that according to centerplate. reporting live from santa clara,jack, cut -- janine de la vega, ktvu channel 2 news. a second incident of vandalism at a pg&e station raising concerns about the power grid. pg&e said someone used wire cutters to cut holes in the chain-link fence at the station on metcalf road and stole equipment. this is the same station where
