up in giant orange. it will remain that way for at least another week as the giants head back to the world series to face the kansas city royals. alex savidge has been out in the city as well sense 4:30 this morning. coming up in two minutes he will fan reaction. he will also show us all of the work that got under way and has been continuing throughout the night while most of uses finally got to sleep. they have been working. it's friday, october 17th i'm pam cook. >> good morning, i'm dave clark. you stayed up for the game; right? >> i did. i was happy they finished before 9:00. that worked well for me. >> steve, you were watching too. >> that is why i said 8:50 good timing. >> a lot of cloud cover you guys and not much rain yet. it is still well offshore. this system is moving toward the mendocino coast but it will take time. there is also a couple little wrinkles. two systems i think it will split. there is one up here and there is another one developing back here. and that will slow it down.

but also at the same time it will delay everything as far as rain goes for most of the bay area. but a lot of cloud cover. so a breezy, mild, mostly cloudy day. so nothing yet. morning commute will be fine. 40s and 50s on the temps. that breeze turning southerly yet. it is to the peninsula and south bay. starting to hit concord and a little bit at novato. still northerly and westerly. so getting closer. we are getting closer on the north coast. i would still say a couple hours away. for us we really have to wait for back here. that will not arrive until much later. cloudy with late rain. mild conditions. rain moves in later on. some of it could be a quarter to a half an inch. a lot of 60s and 70s. the voice is holding up i do believe mr. sal castaneda. >> all right. thank you very much. what you said very important with drivers not going to have to deal with rain for morning

commute. it may be later in the day as steve said. much later. if you are driving, you can put that in the back of your mind. this is 80 westbound. a little bit more than 60 miles an hour average speed and 18 minute drive time between those two points. when you get to the bay bridge, the metering lights have gone on. the approach everies are getting a little filled up. not too bad but it will be a little bit slow. if you are driving from novato top san rafael, southbound 101 looks good. let's go back to the desk. the giants are heading back to the world series. they earned their place in dramatic walk off fashion. >> super exciting way to finish. ishikawa was the unlikely hero. that gave the giants the 6-3

victory. it was vindication for him. they misjudged a fly ball early in the game. and vindication for early in the season when he was considering retirement. before the giants called him up in late july. >> best organization i have ever played for. for giving me the opportunity to play in the outfield. >>ish coo way normally a first baseman. he was only in the outfield because of an injury to michael moore who came off the bench in the eighth inning. all six of their runs came from the long ball. no doubt the giants fans would be showing off their bride at the office today. alex savidge is in san francisco with more of the

excitement. >> but certainly not routine for giants fans. a lot of excitement here in the city and of course giants pride is evident everywhere you look. there it is the beautiful ferry building glowing orange as you can see. also as we pan over here to the right hand side and you look at the downtown area you might be able to see the orange trim there. the top of one embarcadero center. this 21 is celebrating another trip to the fall classic. >> reporter: this is wham things looked like as after last nights win. giants fans flooded the street. drivers were honking their horns and flying their giant flags. there were of course a lot of police officers out to make sure the people celebrate the responsiblely. we understand for the most part people did. post game celebrations after

long time. they say it's certainly is exciting and all of those t- shirts the official t sheriff shirts will be boxed up and shipped immediately out to the giants dug out stores throughout the bay area that includes the store over at at & t park. that is where you can get those later on today. 23 you want to sport your giants gear. very exciting. live in san francisco alex savidge ktvu channel 2 news. >> i think we will see a lot of black and orange. >> oh yeah. of course the giants and the royals get the world series under way on tuesday in kansas city. you can watch game one with us right here on ktvu channel 2. first pitch just after 5:00. game two set for next wednesday. also here on ktvu 2. the two teams return to san francisco for game three next friday. 25 years ago today the giants were playing in the world series when the loma prieta earthquake hit. >> parker at second base.

quake. >> we are flying over the structure right now. that section of highway that connects the bay bridge to 880. >> reporter: ktvu news crew flew over the scene just moments before the collapse of the structure. 42 people were killed when the freeway crumbled. one driver suffered serious injuries. and remember going in and out of consciousness. >> i could feel it in my hair and face and everywhere. and i can hear people screaming from the outside of the door. and it was like a fog because i was floating in and out of consciousness. i didn't know what was going on. >> reporter: disaster experts say the death toll would have been much higher had it not been for the 1989 world series. many people that nor hallly would have been on the freeway at the time were home watching the game between the a's and

giants on tv. the game was called off and played ten days later. and i remember i was a freshman in high school at the time. and i remember i was walking up the stairs of a two story house and the shaking started. and it seemed like it went on forever. very long. pam, dave. >> yeah janine. see, you have your personal stories. we will be hearing from others as well. it reshaped the bay area. pam, you were talking about that. an interesting look here at the dramatic change in the view from justin hermanen plaza looking at the iconic ferry building. this earthquake significantly damaged the double decker freeway you are looking at. city leaders decides to tear it down and look, they replaced it with what you see today. the palm tree line, the

about rain for the morning commute. >> that is absolutely correct. evening commute can be a little different there. thankfully for the morning everything is good to go. it is getting closer to the mendocino coast. a couple parts of the system. there is one going north and one that will split over us. if it splits over us, that is okay. i think it will hold. there is plenty out here but it has a ways to go. travel storm anna -- tropical storm anna very close. very close to being hurricane strength. it looks like it will probably reach hurricane strength probably about 70 harp. accelerating now west, northwest at 14 miles an hour. the track continues to say it will go to the south. again it's a big system. it will impact the bigger island. it will weaken a little bit. and stays south of maui. but it is going to be it looks like hurricane strength. so far the track stays to the south. we have a lot of clouds overeats and they are just in

advance of this system i'm standing right in front of. and there it is. the rain getting closer to the mendocino coast. but nothing yet. this one is in the developing area of low pressure. that will weaken it. it looks like it will break off from that but probably not until later tonight into tomorrow. it looks like a piece will dive toward southern california. 40s and 50s. sfo is at 60 degrees. temps should come up here with a southerly breeze. san roe moan is still at 49. mid 50s pittsburgh. 40 in tahoe. truckee is 28. no breeze yet. that will pick up a little bit later tonight. 49 ukiah. 50 in sacramento. it's our system. it's getting there. for us we have a lot of cloud cover in the morning but that is it. mostly cloudy today. dry morning commute. this afternoon and evening system gets a little closer and this will then drive in giving us rain over night friday into saturday morning. and then it will clear out. this next system does have i think for the north half inch

to a little bit more. from mendocino county north. rain will be developing by tonight. so cloudy is the main message here. breezy at times. very mild. a lot of 70s here or upper 60s. san francisco, oakland, san mateo everyone is pretty close. not much of a difference on the temps. and we started the week off. monday with 90s. we'll have rain late friday and saturday. a break sunday. next system monday and tuesday. that one does look colder. i think that one has a little more system to the north bay. >> that would be good. >> yeah. for october this isn't bad. >> we need a very different winter this year. >> yes, we do. it was a very scary sight at an elementary school in the south bay. coming up in 15 minutes the encounter that is making teachers, parents, and children very nervous. >> but first demanding safer working conditions. a loud call aimed at protecting a group of san francisco city workers.

how to structure deals, and as we think about internationally citi is there every step of the way. so the end result is you reduce congestion, you reduce pollution and you provide a service to merchants, and that certainly is huge.

-- responders that went to the collapse. >> reporter: good morning. just hearing the stories from everyone who was here at that time. even yourself. you were living in the marina at the time. just amazing. i can't believe it's 25 years after the earthquake. so many memories. will gorman is here. you were working as a paramedic at the time? >> no i was working as an emt. based in west oakland. nine or ten blocks away from here. >> reporter: give us your memories. take us back. 5:03 p.m. a minute before the earthquake struck. what were you doing? >> we were doing a rig change and aparticipantly my rig -- apparently my rig change didn't happen because they put me along with another person. made two ambulances out of one. they told me to go out into the neighborhood and see what we could help with. until we got the call. >> reporter: we are look at video of the cypress structure.

obviously very dramatic video. what was it like for you to see this? was it something out of a movie? >> yeah. we had training on treage and how to assess patients. but it was just like out of a movie. people were coming to me with injuries and bleeding and head injuries. and all we could do is assess them, put them on back boards and get them to the hospital. >> reporter: how long did you work the scene and how long did you work in terms of a period a lept of time? was it for a week? >> no. we were private we just assisted the emt agency. then we did a back up 911. 911 calls were stacked and we had to respond to those for the county to clean them up basically. to get their backlog taken care of. did that until 7:00 in the morning. >> reporter: obviously you are very pivotal in treating the patients. we were talking earlier about how citizens of oakland at the time were just helping as well.

can you describe that? >> definitely. we had citizens coming out with their ladders and forklifts and were helping along with everyone else. they were very crucial. >> reporter: 25 years later first off can you believe it's 25 years later? what memory do you take from that knowing that you helped so many people? >> just that i was doing my job that day. and the thing is you've got to worry about your job and stuff like that. my family knew i was working so they knew what i was. but i didn't think about that until i got off in the morning. >> reporter: and really quickly we only have 20 seconds or so. talk about the differences and how it's changed 25 years later. obviously we have a new bay bridge. we have other things as well. >> i think they are positive changes in having things retro fitted as well. i think it's safer for everybody. >> reporter: thank you for sharing your memories with us. a lot of people have memory us this morning 25 years after the

earthquake. we are here at station 3 in oakland where there will be a ceremony. one of several that are taking place later on today. brian flores ktvu channel 2 news. >> also one of the lasting images of the earthquake is this terrifying scene. the upper deck of the bay bridge collapsing on to the lower deck. killing one person, closing the bridge for an entire month. the quake disaster led to the construction of the new eastern span of the bay bridge which opened to traffic last year. time is 6:49. san francisco pretty close to completing a $4 billion sizic upgrade of the water system. sutro reservoir is the city's third largest and last to but graded. 15% of san francisco's water comes from right there. a two year, 30 million seismic upgrade is almost done. the improvements include large new square posts made out of concrete and rebar.
