quite here yet. it's moving in from the north bay. this is a live picture looking in that direction, up past the golden gate bridge. >> felt like the middle of summer just a few weeks ago, but things are beginning to change. let's turn to mark tamayo, tracking what's ahead. >> remember just last sunday we had temperatures in the 80s and 90s in the bay area. today, the clouds, mostly just a few scattered high clouds paying us a visit. in terms of the organized rainfall, it's up to our north. this system yesterday looked very impressive, but what's happening right now, it's basically splitting with some energy heading to the north, some energy heading to the south. by the time it gets to the bay area, it's in a weakened state. right now, lots of clouds out there. the main shower coverage, the main rain band, up toward eureka, cape mendocino, typical pattern. right now, scattered high clouds. there we go with the live doppler sweep, showing you the current rainfall pattern and rain showers approaching parts of mendocino county. notice some activity beginning to line up offshore. not all of this reaching the

ground, but approaching parts of the north bay coastline and this will increase in coverage for parts of the bay area, especially for the north bay, for the coast over the next few hours. we'll have more on the timing, also let you know if the rain chances will linger into your weekend forecast. >> thank you, mark. for realtime updates any time we're not on the air, just download our ktvu weather app to your phone. it was 25 years ago almost to the minute that the loma earthquake hit. the quake happened at 5:04 in the evening. it lasted for 15 seconds. freeways buckled, part of the bay bridge collapsed, and so did the cyprus structure in oakland. buildings were knocked off their foundations. in all, 63 people were killed. thousands more were hurt. and there was billions of dollars in damage. ktvu's john fowler spoke with some of the people who remember one of the most deadly incidents from that earthquake, the collapse of the cyprus structure. john? >> reporter: well, frank, the most visible reminder that we are in earthquake country, of

course, is the bay bridge, the new bay bridge built, in part, because of the loma prieta quake. because invisible emotional scars are still raw in the east bay. children too young to remember played at this preparedness display today, right where the double-deck freeway collapsed. >> it was devastating. we heard the sound. it was unbelievable. it was like a big rumble. >> reporter: 4000 feet of 880 freeway, the cyprus street viaduct, pancaked, crushing cars and occupants. neighbors remember climbing into the still-shaking structure. >> they were pulling people out, doing anything they can. it was, it was pretty horrific. >> reporter: across the bay in san francisco, fires broke out from broken gas mains, buildings collapsed to their foundations. a section of the bay bridge fell, killing one driver, but oakland took the brunt of the human toll.

>> killed 67 people, 42 of them were a result of the cyprus freeway collapse. >> reporter: a somber memorial service today reminding people what the earth did to a community. >> the first thing you felt was the eerie stench of death and the quiet. it was so quiet, it was almost frightening. >> reporter: the tragedy forged new alliances. the community successfully fought rebuilding the devicive neighborhood freeway. >> instead, we have a beautiful park, where you can see families walking with their dogs and children playing in a community that has too little open space. >> reporter: coming up at 6:00, i'll have the story of an astonishing act of heroism, plus a warning for all of us. reporting live on treasure island, john fowler, ktvu channel 2news. our coverage continues throughout the hour. at 5:30, we examine some of the improvements made to keep our

roads, our power grid and our water safe and we'll look at all the work that still needs to be done. at 5:45, first responders tell us had their own words what it was like to help people at that world series game back in 1989. it is a good -- no, great time to be a giants fan. for the third time in five years, the giants are heading to the world series. it was a player who nearly quit who hit the winning homerun. >> travis ishikawa hits one into right! [ cheers & applause ] >> the giants win the penant! >> before last night's game, the giants had only homered twice in 88 post season innings. after the game, the giants general manager said these guys always believe they could win. >> why is your team always able to come out on top? >> i don't know. they believed from day one. like a bunch of cockroaches. you got to kill them all off. if you're going to get one, you berget them all! >> cockroaches in the very best of ways. take a look at this picture.

this, of course, travis ishikawa kissing the game- winning ball. it was a life-long giants fan from oak dale who caught it. frank birck says when he realized the ball was coming his way, all he could say was soft hands! he grew up playing baseball in daly city and he didn't want to drop it, so he was hoping to catch it and hold on, and he did. >> then returned it to the giants. they said what would you like? they said tickets to the world series would be cool. they said, no, how about tickets to next year? i guess when the president of the giants heard that, he said, you know what? you've got tickets to the world series. >> thumbs up, right. >> let's talk about the royals, because the royals are who the giants are playing, and they haven't lost yet. >> yeah, i could talk about last night's game for about an hour and a half. but, yeah, as we relish last night's victory, more and more giants fans are waking up in legions feeling good about the game, but also realizing the job is not quite done. yes, we gotta think about the kansas city royals, who are on

quite a roll themselves these days. >> looking for a two-out hit. >> into left field, the kansas city royals are walking off into is the alcs! >> before anyone gets carried away talking about the giants winning the world series, someone needs to figure out how to beat the royals even once. their incredible 8-0 run, the longest unbeaten streak to start the post season in big league history started with a wild card walkoff win against the a's. since then, they disposed of the angels in three and a clean four-game sweep of the baltimore orioles, sending them into the world series for the first time in 29 years. >> the royals are going to the world series! >> reporter: as focused as the bay area is on the giants winning it all, there might be a few people in the east bay secretly pulling for the royals. their manager, after all, ned

yost, graduatedded from dublin high school and played ball in the state. as a matter of fact, he grew up pulling for the team he now will be trying to beat in the world series. >> i grew up in the bay area, grew up a giants fan, so it's going to be special. i've got the utmost respect for bruce bochy and the san francisco giants are a lot like us. >> reporter: although this is the first time these two teams have ever met in the world series, they did get together during the regular season back when the giants were struggling. in fact, kansas city swept a three-game series and outscored the giants 16-6, which means absolutely nothing in october. >> you know, this is a whole different ball game now. this is the world series. this isn't a three-game series in august. you know, it doesn't matter what the recollections were. it's going to be a total different atmosphere. >> reporter: yes, the royals did have their way in august. but the giants have great experience in october, and they are riding a little high

themselves right now. [ cheers & applause ] >> they won the penant. like i said, the energy out there was like a force field, where you felt nothing bad can happen to the giants, even top of the 9th inning when the cardinals loaded the bases. it was almost like the crowd willed nothing bad to happen. >> i remember, we were talking last night about you being out there and you had the story about standing next to the guy who was too nervous to even cheer when the cardinals had the bases loaded. >> oh, yeah. it was nerve-wracking. i look at this guy next to me, what's the matter with you? he goes, i can't move. i'm too nervous to even move. that kind of gives you an idea of the electricity out there. like i said, when he hit that homerun, it's the loudest baseball crowd i have personally ever heard. it was amazing. even louder than when pablo sandoval hit the three homeruns against the tigers in 2012 series. so great moment for all giant fans. nothing but good vibes. >> what a dream come true for

travis ishikawa, almost quitting earlier in the season, comes back and hits the game- winning homerun. >> great story. hopefully more to unfold in the next week and a half or so. >> thanks, mark. so glad you could be there. let's do a quick comparison between the kansas city royals and your san francisco giants. first up, most important here, with this world series, it will be kansas city's third trip. for the giants, it's the team's 20th, second only to the yankees. the royals have been in the league since 1969, coming in as an expansion franchise. the giants in one form or another have been in the league since 1883, first as the gothams in new york. if you were wondering where the name "royal" came from, it's for the american royal, a livestock horse show, rodeo and championship barbecue competition that's held every year in kansas city. a child pornography investigation leads law enforcement to one of their own. the serious accusations against the chp sergeant spanning three separate cities. >> plus, 25 years after loma prieta, why experts say a

seismic threat facing homes isn't getting enough attention. >> we do have to be proactive. >> next, forget dressing up like a gladiator or a clown, the controversial costume that has people shaking their head. >> it's not funny, though. >> it's a little inappropriate.

the street was split up and you could smell gas. somebody ran up to me and tugged me on my pant leg, yelling, my wife and child! he pointed directly in front of us, which we didn't even notice when we pulled up. straight ahead was a three- story apartment building that had pancake collapsed to the floor. >> we're on the oakland bay bridge, just a little after the earthquake. they sent us down here, surprisingly, in the wrong direction. there's another car. gosh! >> the entire upper deck of the cyprus structure has collapsed. it has fallen onto the lower deck. from here, we obviously cannot tell what is beneath the upper deck. but one could only guess. >> i went out, i saw the bay bridge, saw the damage there. we were sent to the marina. i remember that budweiser sent a big, giant truck in and they had cans of water in budweiser beer cans.

and just, you know, it's rare having grown up in san francisco to see all the damage to the marina and all the other districts. had a lot of friends and family members whose houses were destroyed and couldn't reenter. it was really personal, especially having grown up in the city. you knew people, you were really familiar with the area, and it was broad damage, all over the place. it's a constant reminder that these things can happen. this is where we live. you just have to be as prepared as you can. and then the other thing i remember, you just have to have a plan in place to find your family. at the time, i had a 2-year- old. now i have three kids. that's your number one thing. you want to make sure your loved ones are well cared for and come in and do what we do as first responders. >> that's the good work of our chip vaughan, one of our photo journalists at ktvu. we put a slide show together of photos, as well as archive video from that day back in 1989. you'll remember, a lot of those voices that you just heard are still here at ktvu. so many people in our newsroom right now were working right here when the loma prieta earthquake happened. >> what we've done, we've

posted their memories of the earthquake. you can find it under hot topics at ktvu.com. i was working in rhode island. i grew up in berkeley. i was watching the world series, just like everyone else. when it hit, i saw on tv what was going on. i immediately called my family in berkeley to find out if they were okay. fortunately, they were. unfortunately, a lot of others weren't. >> i remember turning on the tv at home in livermore to channel 2 and seeing those pictures for the first time right after it happened. and those pictures have so much impact, even now, so many years later. >> they flew me out to do a special on it, do live reports. i remember seeing the cyprus structure. it's just incredible. when you see that up close and you see the power of an earthquake and what it can do. let's bring in meteorologist mark tamayo. where were you during the earthquake? >> i was in san rafael, playing a high school soccer game. i remember running down the field and falling instantly. it was that strong. what's scary about this, that quake was centered in the santa cruz mountains. it's forecasted to have the

next big quake closer to the bay area, closer to heyward, san andreas fault, centralized right here. that's what makes you think about how scary the outcome could be, with a powerful earthquake actually situated in the bay area. that's why we are on high alert all the time. we have been tracking lots of clouds out there today. not much in the way of rain showers, but the bulk of the activity has been focused to the north, eureka, cape mendocino. there's a weak system approaching the area, possibly a stronger one for the north bay on monday. right now, you can see on live storm tracker 2 the rain showers. the focused activity is up toward cape mendocino. a little bit of activity approaching the north bay coastline. lots of clouds out there. also feels a bit muggy, with the rain showers. not all of this reaching the ground just yet, but coverage on the increase somewhat, especially near the north bay coast and we'll hold on to the chance, in fact increasing for the north bay over the next few hours, especially up toward

sonoma county, toward mendocino county as well. current numbers, san jose, 71 degrees. santa rosa, 69. livermore, mid 70s. walnut creek checking in the 70s, 74. beautiful right now. i'll step out of the way, looking toward the golden gate bridge. high clouds, but also breaks in the clouds. as far as the forecast for tonight, we are tracking a chance of showers. clouds first thing tomorrow morning and then that next system is scheduled to move into the region on monday. here's our forecast model, showing you the clouds in the short-term. 9:00 tonight, up in the north bay, basically this is not too generous with the rainfall accumulation here in the bay area. even south, we could have a few sprinkles or a light shower, but the system basically falls apart over northern california, with skies becoming partly cloudy throughout the day on saturday. so it has been partly to mostly cloudy for today. rainfall has been focused up to our north. you can see the rain will gradually move to the south a little bit. that's why we are tracking the shower chances highest for the coast. for the north bay for tonight

as well. then shower chances linger into saturday morning with skies, at least a sun/cloud mix for the afternoon hours. forecast model, we'll take this through sunday. no big changes out there. most of your weekend is dry. then into monday, look what happens. this is a cold front basically moving into northern california and we have a little bit more hope this could generate more rain showers here in the bay area. forecast highs for tomorrow, lots of 70s out there. no major heat. remember, just last weekend, last sunday, we had temperatures in the 80s and 90s. not the case for this weekend. walnut creek, mid-70s. san jose forecast high of 76. san francisco goes 70. half moon bay, 67 degrees. a look ahead at your five-day forecast, we'll hold on to the chance of a shower into saturday morning. skies becoming partly cloudy sunday. that chance of rain on monday. then tuesday, we'll have partly cloudy skies, also watching the weather not here in the bay area, but also out toward kansas city. in fact, that's not coming up right now. but we do have -- looking at the forecast toward kansas

city, we will have mostly sunny skies, mostly clear skies, so weather should not be a threat at all, at least for game 1 of the world series. looks pretty good in the bay area as well. lot of people making plans for next week. so far, looking pretty good. >> awesome. thank you, mark. well, this tiny puppy, there he is, was discovered in a really unusual place. police found the 3-week-old pitbull in the pocket of a suspected drug dealer when he was being taken into custody. animal rescuers outside boston are now caring for the little girl. they say she was taken from her mother way too soon. >> when she first came in, she was definitely pretty dehydrated and lethargic. we've been giving her iv fluids and medications for parasites and she's doing really well. she's definitely just in the past couple of hours really taken a turn for the better. >> she's so cute. animal rescuers are calling the puppy "pocket" and they should be up for adoption in a few weeks. you know there will be a lot of people calling, saying i'll take her. >> a waiting list, i bet.
