7:42 am
hundreds of city streets. this is according to the san francisco chronicle. they will be sealing cracks and then putting down a thin, protective layer on the existing asphalt. the work will continue through the end of the year. always frustrating when that happens. it would be smis to have smoother -- nice to have smoother roads. hey, sal, what's happening on the roads now? everybody behaving? >> try driving around san francisco, you will see it -- >> everywhere. >> let's take a look at the commute, we've had a little bit of a problem on 80. it's a 50-minute drive from the carquinez to the macarthur maze. the reason, because of an accident here in this area. it's gone. eastbound we had a crash. westbound traffic was slow and you will see a lot of slow traffic in the area. let's move along to a live
7:43 am
picture of the bay bridge toll plaza. that is backed up pretty big backup there. i also want to mention the traffic is slow on the nimitz freeway which is -- 238 seems to be the starting point. northbound, it's slow southbound from 238 going down to fremont, northbound from 2378 in pockets all the way -- 238 in pockets all the way down in oakland. let's go to steve. we have a couple of reports, observers said there's no fog in daly city. but another observer said it is foggy there. i believe both of them. there are pockets of it. kind of retreats off the coast. there's a little bit in san francisco. yesterday had a pretty good offshore breeze. the coast was up, up. watsonville, 84 degrees. santa cruz, 78. half moon bay was 77. i remember yesterday. i -- they went from about 48 to about 68 between 4:00 a.m. and 9:00 a.m. and that was the sign of that
7:44 am
easterly breeze kicking in. monterey, 76 and officially in san francisco, 75. i think i saw 68 oaks beach and 67 at point reyes lighthouse. pretty mild for this time of year. 57, 72 the forecast high today. those are both above average for this time of year in san francisco. 52, 66 is what they should be. reporting, 45, 1919. the record low in 83 in 1991, the record high. another ho-hum system just falling apart. just a weak little system dragging across a few high clouds. it did increase the low cloud deck. that's why the coast will be cooler today. you can see that below the high cloud deck. the reason i'm showing you the national picture, next week all signs point towards a very cold and dynamic system setting up in the northern plains and great lakes with its impact going almost down to northern florida and will head to the northeast which in turn means if something is going that deep, there must be a high- pressure ridge over us.
7:45 am
a pattern very -- i mean, just eerie how similar it is to what we've seen all year long. remember, everything turned on a dime once we got to january. 37 reno. 33 lake tahoe. 18 days of record high january thch year. remember that? 52 monterey. 48 in ukiah. some 40s. here but a lot more 50s. sfo, 57. 55 half moon bay even with the fog, they will be on the mild side but not as warm as yesterday. we had upper 30s, 40s towards the north bay up in the lake county. today it's more 40s and 50s. calistoga 51. petaluma, 47. the higher clouds will clear out. it will be mostly sunny. if you are by the coast, it will be cooler. it's a warm pattern. it's above average. it's also a very dry pattern. there's no hint of any rain. one forecast model is leaning on something for next week. it backed off. dry pattern looks to be in the 15th or 16th as everything will go east of us. we'll have plenty to talk about for those folks. for us, it will be quiet and
7:46 am
warm. there's nothing on the way. high clouds, patchy fog. parts of the coast in the city. i don't think it will last too long. mainly sunny. clearlake, 75. novato, 73. santa rosa, 74. name, 74. vallejo, benicia, 72. 75 out to antioch. 74 pittsburg. 73 martinez. shot out to ethel -- shout out to ethel in martinez. >> all right, ethel! >> why don't you mention martinez? i just did. 76 morgan hill. 80 gilroy. 60s on the coast. overall, we do get cooler pattern on friday and then back to sunshine and warm temperatures. >> sunshine oplenty. >> sunshine oplenty. >> severe clear. >> okay. it is nine minutes before

president obama wants congress to spend more than $6 billion in emergency money to fight ebola in west africa and here in the u.s. that request includes 4.5 billion for new clinics and also to help develop drugs and vaccines to battle ebola in west africa. money would be used to establish 50 ebola centers in the u.s. and improve the monitoring of passengers at u.s. airports. 1.5billion would be set aside in the contingency fund. house speaker john boehner says he's reviewing the president's request. a bay area biotech company trying to raise money for a new ebola vaccine. researchers at vaxart say they are working on a vaccine that comes in a pill form and it would not have to be refrigerated. >> we have no needles, which really removes an important piece of the puzzle, handling needles, needle injuries. those kind of things.
7:51 am
and our tablets can be held at room temperature. >> now, jackie speier of san mateo toured the lab yesterday. officials at vaxart hope to start human trials early next year. the ebola outbreak has sickened more than 13,000 people. it's killed close to 5,000. mostly in the west african countries of liberia, sierra leone and guinea. back here at home former officer albert pardinii will take over as the east palo alto police department next wednesday. the announce comes after east palo alto's former chief, ron davis, was appointed last year to a position with the department of justice. officials say pardini is a 32- year veteran of the san francisco police department. he served as the interim chief of police in 2010. an argument over a screaming child at a colma department store ended in a violent confrontation. and now ktvu has obtained
7:52 am
surveillance video which shows a woman in a red outfit walking up to another woman and knocking her to the ground. this is in the parking lot of a nordstrom rack shore store. the victim said she was shopping on monday when she told the other woman to quiet her screaming child. they exchanged words followed by the attack outside. police are asking witnesses to come forward. a big story today. six people shot last night in san francisco's mission district in two separate shootings is being investigated. coming up for you at 8:00, the new information we just got in within the past 30 minutes. >> reporter: election results in the south bay came in at a snail's pace. what we're learning about the ballot-counting process. good morning. right now on the san mateo bridge, traffic is moderately heavy, heading out to the high wise. it's a drive pattern for us. a change today compared to

7:55 am
santa clara county came in dead last in posting the election results. now, ktvu's janine de la vega is out there now. she'll be here in about seven minutes. she will tell you what the registrar's office is saying about how the world's high-tech center was affected by a low- tech problem. very interesting. welcome back to "mornings on 2." thursday, november 6th. i'm dave clark. i'm tori campbell. quick look at weather and traffic. steve, it's feeling more summerlike in some cases than fall here. >> very similar to what we've had this entire year. i'm getting a lot of notes from people. should i worry yet? if i'm not worried, why should you? we're very early in the season. i know what you are thinking and saying. it's been a pattern that's been stuck for a long time. they are saying just the opposite. in the great lakes, my goodness, here we go again with another cold pattern. high clouds today for us. it will be a sunny and warm weekend. the higher clouds associated with a dying front. i mean, i use that term mostly
7:56 am
because there's not much left to it. it did give an increase to the coastal fog. some of it seems to move around. 50s on the temperatures. 60 at sfo. 57 half moon bay. even though they do have a little component of a northwest breeze, yesterday it was mainly offshore. 55 orinda, 50s for many. san ramon, 51. alamo, 49. we're recovering pretty fast. south at sfo, east at hayward, a little northwest at half moon bay. i mean there's not much of a breeze. it's a variable. the system will move out. it will get out of the picture here quick. we'll have mostly sunny skies. i will mention a few high clouds and patchy fog but another nice day with the temperatures in the 70s for many. a little cooler, though, over by the beaches today. sal, i haven't heard too much so far, the usual bunching up. but anything changing? >> we have a couple of trouble spots, we've had traffic that's just a little better than yesterday. it's getting heavy. right now we're looking at 280. for example, 280, not too bad
7:57 am
right now as you drive up to highway 17. yesterday, it was much worse but the traffic is going to be busy. i want to focus on a problem in san francisco in the marina district. this problem with a crash, lombard and van ness. should be causing some slow traffic on both lombard and van ness. fortunately, it's not causing as big of a traffic jam as we thought. but it's a good area for you to avoid on lombard and van ness. also move to the east bay, oakland. a lot of slow traffic on 580 from san leandro and also on 880 heading up north. when you get to the bay bridge toll plaza, it is backed under for about a 30-minute drive into san francisco. it's 8:02. back to the desk. we have new details about two late night shootings in san francisco that injured a toteal of six people. in the first incident, someone opened fire at alabama and 23rd streets at 10:15 last night. four people were wounded, including an innocent bystander. and we just learned police have
7:58 am
arrested three people in connection with that shooting. the other shooting happened at 11:00 p.m. at 15th and atoma street. the investigation forced the closure of southbound 101. that's where you see all of the traffic here. that was between cesar chavez onramp and the 280 split. two people were standing in front of a building when two gunmen approached and started shooting. the victims were taken to the hospital and are reported to be in stable condition. there's also a report that stray bullets went into a nearby home but no one was injured. two suspects have been arrested in this case. 8:03. turning now to tower election coverage -- to our election coverage. simly convalley is the high- tech center of the world. but santa clara had low-tech problems when it comes to posting results from the election. ktvu's jag janine de la vega -- janine de la vega, joining us nows. the county came in last on the
7:59 am
reporting. >> reporter: the registrar told me that the county has not upgraded their system since 2003. they don't have counting machines at the precincts and that would have sped things up. now, the precinct ballots must be driven to the registrar's office, opened, the tabs need to be pulled off and and -- counted and scans. only tiny moma county had a worse reporting. santa clara county didn't finish counting until 4:00 a.m. the registrar says there's a limited number of ballot counting systems on the market that are certified by the state. and they are waiting for better technology to buy some before investing in them. >> with the amount of technology that we have in santa clara county it's a little bit surprising that we
8:00 am
have to hand-deliver everything rather than automation. >> reporter: in san francisco, there were also technical issues that caused delayed results from being posted online. there was a 75-minute gap between the first and second updates on election night. the city's election chief tells the chronicle high traffic from mobile devices caused problems from an offsiter isver and here there are still tens of thousands of absentee ballots that need to be counted which could make a difference in a close race like the one for the san jose mayor. reporting live in san jose, janine de la vega, ktvu channel 2 news. >> thank you. and speaking of that race, city councilman sam liccardo has declared victory in the very close race for mayor in san jose but his opponent, supervisor, dave cortese, refuses to concede due to the large number of mail-in ballots that still need to be counted. and the official outcome of the hard-fought election to lead the largest city might not be
8:01 am
known until this weekend. >> there's always a chance that, you know, those last few thousand ballots could all go in the other direction. i would say it's still a little too early to say for certain but it is looking very likely that our next mayor will be sam liccardo. >> liccardo maintains a slight lead with just over 51% of the vote. cortese has 49%. about one-third of the tens of thousands of mail-in ballots still have to be counted. 8:06. in oakland, libby schaaf said she will make public safety her top priority as oakland's new mayor. [ cheers ] >> yesterday, oakland's mayor- elect got a rock star welcome. she arrived at this news conference at lake merritt. schaaf previously worked for former mayor jerry brown and served three years on city council. she says that experience, it will help her tackle oakland's crime problem. she says her plan goes far
8:02 am
beyond hiring more police officers. >> absolutely, we need more police. but we also need better policing. we need to invest in successful intervention and prevention programs and also go after those root causes of crime. that's jobs better wages. >> now, libby schaaf defeated 14 other candidates in a rank choice race for mayor. question beck kag kaplan came -- rebecca kaplan came in second. jean quan came in third. last nightcap lan released a statement congratulating schaaf. her tweet said, i'm excited to partner with her on a wide variety of ways to this city that we all love. the alameda rege slar's office is dealing with a huge
8:03 am
number of mail-in bal on thes. they have thousands of ballots that must be counted by hand os. happening today, u.s. officials are talking about raising the tuitions at each college. ktvu's tara moriarty joining us live on the berkeley campus now to tell us how much more students and their parents may expect to pay. good morning, tara. >> reporter: well, good morning. right now in-state due with at uc berkeley is about 11,000 a year. if this hike goes through, it would spike to $12,000 a year starting next year and then in the year 2019 it would go up to $15,000 a year. this morning, university of california president janet napolitano is expected to ask the university's governing board to increase tuition by 5% each year for the next five years. but napolitano says that the tuition hikes may not be necessary if the university receives more state funding than expected. we asked students here for
8:04 am
their reaction. >> school's definitely expensive as it is. i think it's a problem because there's not a lot transparency with students and where the money is going. we see every semester there's new construction projects going on all over the school. and students don't always see the benefits. >> reporter: others say that $12,000 is still a great deal for a top-notch education when you consider what a private college costs. the hike would come after a freeze. this will be voted on november -- november 19th and 20th. back to you. >> thank you. google will soon cover the cost of dna tests for employees battling cancer. google says the tests can be used to help develop a drug treatment based on a patient's genetic profile. the tests can cause more than $7,000. analysts say google is one of several tech companies in silicon valley to expand health
8:05 am
benefits in an effort to recruit new talent. 8:9. there was gunfire -- 8:09. there was gunfire outside of a starbucks. what happened outside of that coffee shop that injurerd a security guard. also coming up -- >> sat in my kitchen, in front of me and said i'm bringing your daughter home. >> making good on a promise. after the break, how authorities tracked down a bowld kidnap -- boeld kidnapper seen on this video pushing a woman off a sidewalk. traffic is moving along slowly. we have a problem in san francisco as well. and also is that haze or fog on the 680 camera? we'll let you know. a little of both probably. we do have some. higher cloud, hazy pattern. not much of a breeze. there's been pockets of fog. we'll talk about that and a cooler forecast but still kind of mild. female announcer: through tuesday at sleep train
8:06 am
8:08 am
seismologists are monitoring earthquakes in nevada. a magnitude 4.5 earthquake rocked an area in the sheldon national wildlife refuge, about 40 miles southeast of lakeview, oregon. it hit after 12:30 this this morning. it's been followed by several aftershocks. scientists say the swarm started in mid-july but has
8:09 am
been much more amountive in the past few days. there have been dozens of quakes including a 4.6 quake on tuesday night. experts say the swarm of earthquakes does increase the likelihood that a larger earthquake could hit in the region and is reminder of the importance of being prepared. >> wow, tori. 8:13. well, a woman seen in a shocking surveillance video being kidnapped on a philadelphia street, she's been found alive. carlesha freeland gaither was found last night outside of baltimore maryland. the alleged kidnapper, delvin barnes, he's in jail. now, police tracked him down using license plate information from that surveillance video. miss gaither has minor injuries but otherwise she's okay and her family is happy to hear the good news. >> i knew my daughter was coming home. not a doubt in my mind she wasn't coming home. >> i got the phone call and they said i got your sister. she's okay.
8:10 am
i said mom! >> miss gaither disappeared sunday night. you've seen this video. police say she doesn't know barnes. he's described by investigators as a very dangerous predator who faces charges in another case. back here at home, believe it or not, marin county has made a weather channel list of the worst places in the nation to own a house. the weather channel ranked marin 17th of its list of the riskiest places to own a house. that puts it just below forest county mississippi which was hit hard by hurricane katrina. the weather channel cited marin county's risk of an earthquake, floopedz and wildfires when they put together the risk. four other california counties also made the list. sisky cue, kern, santa barbara. officials say these cameras collect images from five former
8:11 am
lookout towers. they take four pictures every 20 seconds. that system is the first-of-its- kind in northern california. it was paid for by a $200,000 grant by pg&e. it will be used to monitor lightning strikes and also downed pg&e lines. a 890 -- a 90-year-old man and two pastors were arrested in fort lauderdale for feeding the homeless. police say the men violated a new local ordinance which bans the distribution of food to homeless people in public places. arnold be aot said he's been -- an abbottabad said she's been -- arnold abbott said she's been feeding the homeless for years. >> as i served the fourth person, they said put down that plate right away. >> in 1999, abbott sued the city from banning him for feeding homeless people on the beach and won.
8:12 am
now he faces up to 60 days in jail and a $500 fine. i was just reading a little bit. he's a world war ii veteran, civil rights activist. he started several programs, including -- he started a culinary school where they train some of the homeless they serve to get jobs in local kitchens. he's not just feeting them but trying to help them turn around their lives. >> and people all over the internet are talking about it. >> exactly. >> we'll see what happens. 8:17. sal is saying if you are driving in san francisco stay away from van ness and the marina district? >> that's right. because lombard at van ness, there was a serious crash where a woman was hit by a golden gate transit bus. i just got off the phone with police and they told me that. this is an area that's very busy. van ness and lombard is highway 101. a lot of people use that. they've taken the injured person to the hospital. they are still doing an
8:13 am
investigate. just got an accident in marin county on panoramic county in stinson beach. it's a motorcycle accident. the authorities, fire department and police are on the way. let's move along and take a look at the bay bridge toll plaza. westbound. you can see traffic is moving along very nicely. no major problems as you come through. the traffic is moving along -- it's nice for this time of the morning on the bridge. it's backed up for a 25-minute delay at the toll plaza. northbound 101, you can see it's slow and there have been no crashes. when i say it's better, i'm not saying it's good. i'm just saying it's better than yesterday. 8:18. i always have to qualify that because i see traffic and i think that's good but it's not really good. >> it's gooder. >> gooder. exactly. thank you. [laughter] we have some higher clouds up there and a little bit of fog. not a lot. there was some, though, that's going to cool down the coastal locations. i've spent half the morning answering e-mails and stuff, steve, what's going on?
8:14 am
well, nothing. dry weather is going on. i know what you are saying. where is the rain? i remember back in november when is used to rain around here. seriously, i do. we have some higher clouds coming over us. the rain will return. it will eventually. the higher clouds associated with just a weak system. that's not doing much. it did increase some fog on the coast. it seems to be moving around. some areas on the coast saying it's clear here. others saying we have fog. truckee warmed up fast. our lows were -- it's already 75 in l.a. they've been hot down there for this time of year. 50, 60s. livermore, 54. napa, 52. a couple of days ago, they were 39. didn't take long to warm up. even gilroy and morgan him warming up. some of the higher elevations in the 60s and even fremont is at 58. any breeze, but not much. offshore fairfield.

8:20 am
his last bill. but then, he had second thoughts. >> before i do that, i call pg&e. >> he thinks there's a security breach somewhere since this is the first time he's paid his pg&e online. pg&e says it would never shut off power without several written warnings and if you get a similar threatening call, hang up and report it to pg&e. pg&e executive who was fired in the recent e-mail scandal, he left pg&e with a package of perks valued at more than $3 million. the bay area news group reports that thomas btooerol, the former vice president, received a hefty severance package. he was fired for improper e- mail contacts with key figures on the public utilities commission, the state agency that regulates pg&e. people who get their water

from the east bay municipal utility district could get hit with a rate hike. the utility says there's a 36% chance drought conditions will continue next year. that could trigger the need to get water from the sacramento river. the utility says that move would automatically require a 14% rate increase. some customers say they are already cutting water usage and the biggest water users should be the ones paying rate hikes. >> i live in a cooperative housing situation. it's 57 people distributed across three houses. we work really hard to conserve water and energy, it's part of the reason we're all working together. >> east bay m.u.d. says it's working out exactly how this will penalize people who use too much water. 8:26. new developments in a berkeley homicide investigation. what the police are doing in connection with a deadly shooting that happened near the
