to everyone in los angeles telling them to evacuate was a mistake. what county officials say happened to cause that false alarm. >> from ktvu, fox two news. this is mornings on two. >> well, good morning and thank you for joining us. welcome to mornings on two. i'm dave clark. >> good morning i'm pam cook. it is friday, january 10th. steve has mentioned quite warm for january yesterday. what about today. let's check in with steve for the forecast. >> not as warm, but already a wind advisory has been issued for tonight for us into sunday. and the wind is still picking up in southern california. 48mph in the malibu hills and 70 plus in san gabriel mountains. so it's. and maybe next tuesday. i've been mentioning this. it looks like another big offshore event for them early next week. 40s, 50s. a couple of 30s in there. the wind is roaring in the oakland hills. i've seen right above the claremont, northeast

to 43mph, so there is a decent little breeze kicking up its heels. high pressure says, now you're not coming in here. that system maybe a smidge cooler than than yesterday when it was really warm. as pam said, some smoke could drift up here, but i think most of it's going to stay south of us, and this high is not going anywhere anytime soon. so good day sunshine. maybe a smidge cooler, but boy it's windy in the hills, no doubt about it. 60s 70s on the temps forecast. models are having a tough time forecasting highs in this pattern, but still above average. all right, always above average. here he is, mr. sal castaneda. happy friday my friend. >> same to you steve. happy friday to you and to the viewer at home. i'm going to help you out and try and get you into work here. let's go to the bay bridge. you can see traffic is moving along pretty well with no major issues. it's going to be a little bit. well, it's going to be a little bit lighter today. i think on a friday you can see traffic in the south bay. looks

good. 501 let's get back to the headlines. >> all right. thank you. will a news conference is scheduled this morning so authorities can tell us the very latest on all of the southern california wildfires. the latest death toll, according to the l.a. county coroner, is now ten. the palisades fire is still the biggest fire, burning 20,000 acres. it's only 6% contained. the eden fire in the pasadena area has burned 13,690 acres. it is 0% contained. and the hurst fire near sylmar has burned 771 acres. it is 37% contained now. the fires in los angeles county have damaged or destroyed thousands of homes and businesses. >> the winds continue to make for a dangerous situation, as embers can ignite more fires and make it difficult to contain the fires that are already burning. reporter connor hanson live in a los angeles county neighborhood that has seen heavy damage. good morning connor.

>> pam. good morning. and we're seeing so many examples of that. unfortunately, that wind could continue at least a couple more days. and we're just seeing sites like this all over the place. homes that have burned down. what's tough to see in the pitch dark is the amount of homes next to it that have been reduced to ash, but you can see the little fires popping up still all over the place, firefighters doing what they can to prevent it from spreading to other homes that are still standing. but they're worried this fight is far from over. >> keep all of los angeles county in your thoughts and prayers. >> the city of angels is looking for a miracle as thousands of firefighters battle several large scale fires threatening homes across the area. their progress on the two largest infernos, the palisades and eton fires, won't be in vain, with

the national weather service forecasting stronger winds throughout this morning. flames have already destroyed more than 10,000 structures and forced more than 180,000 people to evacuate. those who've lost everything. fighting through tears with nothing left, still, many lucky homes that avoided the flames are suffering from smoke damage. this comes as the kenneth fire erupted thursday afternoon in west hills. it's being investigated as arson. >> i heard about three helicopters fly very close to my house, right over my house. my house was shaking. i ran outside and sure enough, there was fire. >> meanwhile, cal fire reports the sunset fire in the hollywood hills is 100% contained. but it didn't stop lies from circulating on social media that the iconic hollywood sign had gone up in flames. >> when we saw that on instagram, it broke our hearts, so we wanted to come and see firsthand. >> and the national guard is now

here to help address the concerns about looting in these evacuated areas. there have already been more than a dozen looting arrests. >> pam. dave o'connor, as we understand, it's still pretty windy and expected to be windy there even into next week with the severe winds. what can you tell us about the evacuations that are in place, or perhaps new areas that are now in line to maybe be at the ready to leave? >> yeah, we're hearing more areas. getting those evacuation warnings and orders. you mentioned that, kenneth. fire. that's a new one. those areas being asked to evacuate and some surrounding areas getting more warnings nearby. >> all right, connor hansen there in los angeles, we will continue to check in with you throughout the morning. thank you for that update. a new wildfire he just mentioned started yesterday afternoon, and an arson investigation is now underway. that's the one that

connor just mentioned, burning near calabasas on the edge of the san fernando valley. the kenneth fire started yesterday. it has burned close to 1000 acres. you can see how close it got to homes there. it closed part of highway 101. firefighters say they stopped the forward progress of that fire, and it is 35% contained. now, police detained a man near that fire. this is citizen app video showing officers taking the person into custody. neighbors saw a man riding around on a bicycle, carrying a blowtorch and trying to set curbside christmas trees and garbage cans on fire. neighbors followed him and held him down and tied him up with zip ties until police could arrive. >> about another helicopter showed up and about 12 tanker engines showed up about, i want to say, 25 cop cars showed up, by thethey told us we had a mandatory evacuation. we packed our stuff up as quickly as we could and we left. >> evacuations have been reduced, but there are still

evacuation warnings. >> our time is now. 506 president biden promising full support to california to help recover from these destructive fires. but the president only has ten days left before his time in the white house ends, and then president elect trump will take over. and trump is already criticizing california's leadership for the damage caused by the fires, saying the state is not taking enough preventative measures. >> but they've had horrible politicians. i think that gavin is largely incompetent, and i think the mayor is largely incompetent, and probably both of them are just stone cold incompetent. >> i was talking with the governor. he requested if i could increase the federal funding that was authorized under this legislation for from 75% to 90%. so today i'm announcing that the federal government will cover 100% of the cost for 180 days. >> now, this funding will extend into the first months of the

trump administration. while we don't know how much financial support he'll give california, donald trump and state leaders have in the past bickered over water management and disaster preparedness during trump's first administration, the l.a. county office of emergency management says it made a mistake when sending out one of the alerts to evacuate. >> the alert was intended for only the evacuation zone of that newest kenneth fire, but instead went out to the entire county. >> the office of emergency management and the county's emergency operations center took immediate action to issue a cancellation, and then also issue a second wireless emergency alert to correct the misinformation from the malfunction. >> an l.a. county supervisor says the mistake was a result of a technical error. >> our time is now. 508 the fire devastation is raising some new questions for all californians about how tough it may get to buy affordable fire insurance coverage in the future. so far,

there's no official dollar amount for the damages in the l.a. wildfires, but some experts estimate it will cost about between 20 and $50 billion for insurance companies. consumers have been losing coverage as insurance companies try to adjust to worsening catastrophic fires. >> a lot of people around the state have been unable to afford insurance. even the rich folks in pacific palisades here in la, some of them did not renew their insurance coverage, which means they're not covered at all. >> depending on the magnitude of those assessments, that that could definitely be a factor that that makes insurers look twice about coming back to california. >> now, the state of california requires catastrophe models and risk assessments. that could help keep the rates in check. but there are concerns companies may just stop offering insurance coverage in california, citing the high cost of doing business

under clear skies. >> the almost full moon. easy to see here and we're close to it. 86% visible now. it will be full on monday. 2:26 p.m. and it's known as the wolf moon werewolf there wolf. so that will be on monday. if you were in santa rosa, at the airport or in town, you said, man, it must be warm. you were right. 78, 76 menlo park was 75, san jose 73, san rafael, walnut creek, sfo and oakland, all in the low 70s as well. and we had some records. redwood city 75. that was a record. sfo tied in oakland downtown 70. that as well was a record. so this pattern looks like it is on hold here for a while. i mean, there's just nothing showing up. look at that. oakland north that's at 1400 feet right above the claremont caldecott tunnel, 43mph. a wind advisory has already been issued for friday night into sunday. and the breeze for some kind of picking

up, not roaring at the surface, but it is in the hills for a few. and that's thus our temperatures are up for some. look at berkeley 62, oakland 55. so there's some temperatures 30s, 40s, 50s and 60s. to the north you can find 30s up in upper lake. but then 51, san rafael, tiburon, sausalito in there, bolinas fire station, 55, point reyes, 57. even occidental 52, richmond 62. my goodness, this is one long, dry pattern, a dry. and i mean the forecast models show nothing for 16 days, which is just ugly. they do show another strong offshore event in southern california next tuesday, and there's nothing unless you're up in crescent city that says rain is on the way. so we have a lot of sunshine today, and that's going to continue with 60s to near 70 again for a few. should be a little cooler for a few. >> thank you steve. he's described as having the best nachos in the bay area, but his

business is gone after his truck and trailer were stolen. we're going to show you how the community is rallying to help. >> and it is a continuing problem in the east bay. for some businesses, the demands for city officials to take some action against the small but (vo) with wells fargo premier, a team can help you plan for your dreams. so your dream car, and vacation home, may be closer than you think. ready to meet the dream team? you can with wells fargo.

inside a home on monarch court are believed to be family members. two of the victims are women ages 33 and 67 and two men, ages 28 and 67. officers say they found the four bodies in different areas of the home wednesday afternoon. police also located a semiautomatic handgun near one of the bodies. detectives searched a home in the south bay they say is linked to one of the victims. the home is on buena crest court in san jose. the motive for the shooting is still under investigation. the victims names have not been released. >> our time now 515. a father of four in san jose lost his only source of income after thieves stole a trailer that he depends on to sell nachos around the bay area and beyond. anthony villarta had parked his suburban at wainwright avenue and scott street in san jose. the very next day, both the truck and the trailer were gone. san jose police later found vallarta's truck. it appartlhad been

hotwired, but the trailer that is still missing messed up the engine. >> they trashed the interior. they broke the dashboard. how do you just steal somebody's livelihood like that? >> that ten foot trailer is still missing this morning. mr. vallarta says the loss is costing him about $25,000. if you see the trailer, please contact the santa clara county sheriff's office or your local police. >> people in west oakland say they are frustrated over garbage, fires and other small fires in their neighborhood. they say the area has become a dumping site. one video shows a huge garbage fire on wood street right under 880 and east oakland. oakland fire says progress is being made in the area, and the number of homeless encampment fires dropped last year. but despite that, there were still 1100 reported fires in the area. >> still far too many. still incredibly dangerous. still very hazardous to both firefighters and residents. neighbors.

vehicle traffic. >> last month, a person was found dead after a car caught fire in the same area. and last june, pacific supply was severely damaged by a garbage fire that spread to the building. business owners say the city is either slow to respond or never responds. >> time is now 517. the city of san jose, now enforcing new rules and restrictions. parking for rvs. chenowith avenue is the first of 30 locations for the oversize, lived in vehicle enforcement pilot program known as olive city. teams will notify rv residents they have two weeks to move away. the people will be given information about available services and safe parking locations. after two weeks, tow trucks will be called in to remove any remaining vehicles. >> all right, let's check in with steve paulson. we're talking about this wind event. for all of us who have friends and family down there. it's going to continue for quite a few days, right?

>> there are already gusts down there in malibu hills, almost 50. there's a we even have a wind advisory for tonight into sunday. and i think next tuesday is one to watch. i've been talking about it for a couple of days and now even la is talking. well they've been mentioning it, but it looks like they're not getting out of this pattern anytime soon. unfortunately, in the san gabriel mountains are still gusts to 70 miles an hour. so even outside now, san diego starting to pick up in some of the higher elevations. boy, this is a really ugly dry pattern. if you're looking for rain, we had rain on the third 18 107 days ago. a week ago we had rain. hard to believe there is no rain forecast by any of our global models. out 16 days doesn't mean they're right, but usually when they all show dry weather, they're right. and when you get this kind of a pattern, you get warm temps. santa rosa airport, 78, santa rosa in town 76 menlo park, san jose, san rafael, walnut creek, sfo and oakland, all between 70 and 75 warm degrees. look at that. oakland north 1400 feet in the oakland

hills there, northeast to 43mph. i mean, that is rocking and rolling. so the wind again is a factor for some not as strong, thank goodness, out to the altamont pass. but livermore northeast, altamont east mines road east southeast. tracy north. so there you go. it's an offshore breeze. again, the forecast models do not handle this pattern well on the temps, that's for sure. 30s 40s 50s to 60s berkeley 62, menlo park at 3957 kensington. there's the berkeley 62. pinole 53. alameda 54. at walnut creek is 41. lafayette, 42, in alamo, 42. in dublin, also at 42 1821 well, 18 in truckee and 21 south lake tahoe. carson city and reno say we're 21 as well. this is a really strong area of high pressure. it's going to be a long, dry pattern and it's a breezy to windy pattern as well, not only for us, but also southern california. now wind advisory out. high wind warning

in the san gabriel mountains. i mean, they're still gusts now. 40, 50mph. picking up again around malibu, malibu hills. this just does not look like it's changing anytime soon for us. there's nothing showing up rain wise unless you're up towards crescent city and maybe points north. but for us, nothing. good day. sunshine. clear, cold, mild morning. and some areas 30s, others 50s and 60s. but that wind is up in the hills and i think we'll get lots of sun again. 60s could be a few near 70. >> all right, steve, thank you. time now, 520. today is the day president elect donald trump is scheduled to be sentenced in his hush money case. we have the details of the charges he's facing this morning. and dignitaries in georgia and washington, d.c, paying their respects to the late jimmy carter. we'll look at the services at the national cathedral for the nation's 39th president. and as we head to a break, we want to offer you an opportunity to help the families in southern california affected by the wildfires. you can scan the qr code right there on your screen to donate to the red

and do nothing. >> stepping up to help those in los angeles, we hear from the woman who started a huge donation drive. [music] >> from ktvu, fox two news. this is mornings on two. >> good morning. thank you for waking up with us here on mornings on two. >> i'm pam cook and good morning i'm dave clark. it is friday. it's january 10th. write to steve paulson. you still see signs of warning signs weather wise for us and downtown. >> well, they're already it's picking up down there. now, this won't be anything like they had on tuesday, but i think next tuesday it could be another big event. unfortunately, it's kind of the way it's looking here. we have a wind advisory that starts friday and goes into sunday. friday night. i mean, there's pretty good wind up in the oakland berkeley hills already. so you're seeing 30s to 60s on the temps in there. well, some locations get an east wind or, you know, it's mainly an east wind or a north wind. but in the oakland hills i've seen 43mph right above the caldecott there. this is a really just a bad

pattern to be in. i mean, there's absolutely no hope for rain for a while here. at least not for us. probably not for them. some smoke could sneak up here, but i don't think so. i think most of it will stay sout, and there will be a series of systems carving themselves out to the nevada and eventually southern california. we get sunshine. i guess that's the good news. sunny for all. should be a little bit cooler. not as warm as yesterday. temperatures though still well, well above average here. all right. sal's with us. friday. light or something new? >> it is something new here, steve. southbound 880 at whipple. there's a big rig cras, and chp and fire department are on the way to help. you can see that traffic is already backing up just after highway 92. northbound traffic may also be affected as people slow to take a look. a big rig and a vehicle involved with several lanes blocked. heading south. we're going to keep an eye on that for you. we're also going to tell you that the rest of the commute so far looks pretty good, but this is a trouble spot. 531 let's go back to the headlines.

>> all right. thank you. well, authorities in southern california have scheduled another 8 a.m. news conference today giving us updates about the los angeles area wildfires. the newest wildfire is burning in woodland hills near the county line separating los angeles and ventura counties. investigators think that fire was deliberately set. it's burned just under a thousand acres, temporarily forced a neighborhood to evacuate, and it is 35% contained. >> now, the los angeles county coroner's office is now saying the death toll has increased to ten. the palisades fire, still the largest of the fires, burning nearly 20,000 acres, only 6% contained at this point. the eaton fire in the pasadena area has burned more than 13,000 acres, and containment there remains at 0%. and the hurst fire near sylmar has burned 771 acres. it is now 3,137% contained. >> and while the firefighters are starting to make some

progress, it will probably take days or even weeks before they get this under control. >> ali rasmus joining us now in studio with the firefight against the two biggest fires burning there in los angeles. ali? >> yeah, the two biggest fires, the palisades and eaton fires combined. they've consumed about 30,000 acres in los angeles county. they've killed at least ten people. but officials, unfortunately, expect those numbers to go up once they are able to get a good look at the devastation there and the scenes of the burned out buildings and entire neighborhoods are just surreal. entire neighborhoods gone, burned to rubble. and these fires are still burning. late last night, cal fire reported at least some containment of the palisades fire. it's about 6% contained, but that's after burning nearly 20,000 acres and destroying close to 10,000 homes and structures. there more than 3000 people, firefighters and other emergency crews responding to this fire alone. the weather conditions making this a brutal and intense firefight. southern california has had virtually no rain since may, and while the

winds did die down a bit yesterday, there were still 40 mile an hour wind gusts. firefighters say that they hope to get a reprieve later tonight and into tomorrow. >> the extreme winds that we've seen will start to diminish, and we will start to see a change in the direction of those winds. so where we've seen from north to south, we're going to start to see more now a south to north. >> now the eaton fire north of pasadena and in the communities of altadena also grew in size. it's now burned more than 13,000 acres and destroyed more than 4000 homes and structures. that fire is still 0% contained. 180,000 people in los angeles county are under evacuation orders, and many people who are still allowed to stay home are being told not to drink their tap water because it may be contaminated by all the fire debris and ash in the region. more than a dozen school districts throughout l.a. county closed again today. the governor has called in about 400 members of the national guard to help

los angeles law enforcement with traffic control, evacuations and other support. and while there is supposed to be a break in those windy conditions later tonight and into tomorrow, it is going to be short lived, meteorologists cautioned. there is going to be another round of dangerous santa ana winds early next week. back to you, pam. >> all right. thank you. ali. police in los angeles now say a homeless man is being questioned in connection with a new fire in the area. officers say he was detained yesterday afternoon in woodland hills, just about 25 miles west of downtown los angeles. several people living in the neighborhood held him until police could arrive. >> yeah. you see somebody walking down the street with a blowtorch in their hand. it's kind of a weird thing when we're right in the middle of two fairly large fires right here. >> so, you guys, i understand you zip tied him. is that. yeah. >> neighbors say they spotted the man riding around on a bicycle carrying a blowtorch. they say he was trying to set

trees and garbage cans on fire. the california national guard has arrived in southern california to prevent looting in the evacuated areas. a curfew has been established in areas where people are still evacuated. no one is allowed in between 6 p.m. and 6 a.m, los angeles county sheriff robert luna says 20 people have been arrested on suspicion of looting so far, and he unfortunately expects that number to rise. >> all right, pam. time is 535. we have dramatic new video to show you of the terrifying early moments of the fire that raced along the pacific coast highway. now, on tuesday, one woman was rushing home to check on her house on tuesday when she saw a huge plume of black smoke. look at this spreading over her neighborhood. she grabbed her cell phone and took this video of the scene, and she had no idea what she would find when she arrived home. >> it's hard to watch the fire, and there's no fire trucks that

were there at that time. yeah, you hear the sirens, but what can you actually do? >> she quickly grabbed her belongings and escaped from her burning house along with her four year old son, and she is now among the thousands of evacuees staying with friends in hotels or in temporary shelters, all of them waiting to hear if their home is still standing. >> a woman in sacramento is jumping in to help people affected by the fires. the donation started to filter in just hours after patti martin posted a call for donations on social media. she said after seeing the massive action and people out of their homes, she wanted to help. martin explains her motivation to support is personal. >> i've never been impacted, thankfully, but in 2015, when the butte fire happened in calaveras county, a friend of mine asked me to help and i've been doing it ever since. with all the all the fires in northern california.

>> that woman says that she plans to give those items to a local support group, which will drive them to organizations in southern california, where they will then be distributed. >> well, we have a wind advisory that's been posted tonight. midnight goes through 10 a.m. sunday, so that's brand new. winds are already picking up in southern california. we have anywhere from 30 to 60s on the temps here. berkeley 62. menlo park is 39 degrees 42 brentwood and livermore. concord 41, but 56 near mill valley. it just depends. if you get the breeze, then definitely in the 50s. 60s if not, it's probably in the 30s. pillar point look at pacifica 58 yet. atherton, menlo park, palo alto are 38. los altos hills is 53, so there's some 30s, 40s and 50s here. and in the mountains. 20s or south lake tahoe. 21. carson city 21. truckee 19. reno is also a 21. there is just no hope, really, for anything here other than what the pattern in this looks

like a long dry pattern, unfortunately. breezy to windy. not only is the wind picked up in southern california today, also in our hills here, but it looks like on tuesday there could be another big offshore event if everything continues to march in as advertised. so they're getting some wind gusts. i saw about 48 in the malibu hills, 60 to 70 in san gabriel mountains, and even near cajon pass there was a gust of 90mph. the wind is turning a little more east, and that's maybe a little southerly for some, which could push a little smoke, maybe into the santa clara valley. but i'll just mention that i think most of it will stay out of the area. and if you're looking for rain, keep looking and tell me if you see any, because i don't. good day sunshine. lots of sun again. windy in the hills. temperatures 60s, maybe a few near 70. and we have that wind advisory starts tonight. takes us into the weekend and maybe another one on tuesday. >> thank you steve. macy's has announced 66 stores will close this year. the bay area location that will close. >> and as we head to break, we

rig. southbound 880. you have lanes blocked. not all the lanes, but enough to cause a backup into hayward. beginning now near the southland mall exit wynton area, or maybe even as far back as eighth street. soon as they clear this crash, the rest of the commute is okay. there is one more trouble spot, though. there was a car on fire. westbound 580 at north flynn coming into livermore. and we have kind of a big backup as the fire crews are taking up a lane putting that fire out. so it's going to be bigger than usual. backup at the altamont pass. if you're driving to the bay bridge, we're not seeing a big backup and we're not expecting a bigger one today. since it is friday and this week has been light. i believe that next week we'll probably have more people. 549 let's go back to steve with today's weather. >> sal thank you sir. we'll take a look at yesterday's warm temperatures to say our forecast models. it's called the mos model. output statistics was

just a little underdone is an understatement. santa rosa airport with a north wind shot up to 78. santa rosa in town 76. menlo park with 75. san jose, san rafael, walnut creek, sfo and oakland all between 70 and 73. do we have any record highs yesterday? yes we did. redwood city 75. that was a record. sfo tied 71 in oakland. downtown 70. that was a record. old 67. not that long ago, 2015. it is all about high pressure and offshore wind. no doubt about it. and this this stretch of dry weather is going to go a long time. i think last rain was a week ago today. last friday. really? yes. a week ago today, the city picked up 18/100. forecast models. no rain now being forecast. most of them are dry out 16 days. doesn't mean they're right. but boy, i'll tell you it just kind of looks at. well look at this oakland north. that's again above the claremont caldecott northeast 43mph. and starting at midnight tonight, we have another wind advisory, mainly in the hills.

and that will take us to 10 a.m. on sunday. so i think next tuesday we'll see another round of this as well. 30s, 40s, 50s to almost 60 on the temps here. 34 boulder creek, 35 hollister san martin. 39 felton, 35 scotts valley. campbell's in there at 38. so colder temps look to be to the south. ely. the lone outpost out there at nine cold degrees, 18 truckee, 21 south lake tahoe and also at mammoth. there's just really no good news. this is a long, dry pattern. it's going to be mild to warm, it's going to be breezy to windy. and that includes southern california where the wind has already picked up today. this morning i should say. and i think tuesday is the one to watch. that could be another strong offshore event. now hopefully the wind will turn a little southerly here for a day or two to kind of give them a little bit of a break, but there's not much of a break down there this morning and there's no hope for rain. good day sunshine clear, cold morning or mild depending on if you get that breeze or not. lots of sun.

windy in the hills, 60 to a few, maybe near 70. we should actually end the special session we have right now and have a new special session completely focused on wildfire and insurance, because i think everybody, you know rightfully anticipates this is going to cause a huge crisis.

higher elevations. goes to 10 a.m. on sunday, and the wind is already picked up in southern california. they may get a little break as it turns more southerly, but i think next tuesday there's another strong offshore event looking likely here, 30 to almost 60. i mean, it just depends if you get that breeze, it's in the 50s. if not, you're in the 30s. the ridge of high pressure. i don't think it's leaving anytime soon. this is just a really dry pattern and they are locked in. good day sunshine. it won't be as warm as yesterday, which was incredibly warm, but it will be above average again. temperatures well above average here, 60s to maybe near 70. all right. south here, union city. >> yeah. you know, southbound 880. you will see that traffic is going to be slow, steve, because of that crash we had on the road. southbound 880. as you drive down toward the commute into union city. now the help has arrived, but they're still going to be slow as you get there. also, westbound 583 right

the ability to get homeowners insurance, your chamber gaveled into a special legislative session to prepare for donald trump in a way that many republican lawmakers at the state capitol had the same concerns. >> actually end the special session we have right now and have a new special session completely focused on wildfire and insurance, because i think everybody, you know, rightfully anticipates this is going to cause a huge crisis. >> now, democratic leaders say it would be up to governor newsom to call another special session on wildfires. the governor's office responded by saying the governor is right now focused on making sure firefighters have all the resources they need. >> president biden says the federal government will pay for 100% of the firefighting needs for the next six months, and pledged to help contain the fires and pledged help for recovery efforts. >> and we've secured additional firefighters and firefighting aircraft from our ally and

really slowing down a lot is the bay bridge. usually by now we have something, but right now it is lighter. it is a friday and sometimes we tend to go lighter on fridays. 607 let's go back to the desk. >> thank you sal. the new mayor, daniel lowry, already making some changes in san francisco, how he plans to handle the city's budget deficit. >> plus, there's nothing left. >> keep all of los angeles county in your thoughts and prayers. >> several big wildfires are still burning across the los angeles area. we're going to bring you a live report from l.a. county with the very late

standing, but still strong winds here making it more difficult. officials saying this battle is still far from being over. >> keep all of los angeles county in your thoughts and prayers. >> the city of angels is looking for a miracle as thousands of firefighters battle several large scale fires threatening homes across the area. their progress on the two largest infernos, the palisades and eton fires, won't be in vain, with the national weather service forecasting stronger winds throughout this morning. flames have already destroyed more than 10,000 structures and forced more than 180,000 people to evacuate. those who've lost everything, fighting through tears with nothing left. still, many lucky homes that avoided the flames are suffering from smoke damage. this comes as the kenneth fire erupted thursday

afternoon in west hills. it's being investigated as arson. >> i heard about three helicopters fly very close to my house, right over my house. my house was shaking. i ran outside and sure enough, there was fire. >> meanwhile, cal fire reports the sun set fire in the hollywood hills is 100% contained. but it didn't stop lies from circulating on social media that the iconic hollywood sign had gone up in flames. >> when we saw that on instagram, it broke our hearts. so we wanted to come and see firsthand. >> and the national guard is now here helping to address concerns about looting in these evacuated neighborhoods. there have already been around 20 looting arrests. >> pam connor leading to that. what is the situation down there? because i would imagine because of the looting and then the danger, the continuing danger and the weather conditions. are people being allowed back to see their

business or home or roads closed? what is the situation this morning? >> well, a lot of roads are closed, especially into those hard hit neighborhoods. and even this portion of the pch is technically closed. but we are allowed to be here since we're media, but we have still seen people making attempts to go back and see their homes, but not many of them, at least in our area right now. we have heard that there could be a curfew put into place this weekend, but waiting to hear all of the details on that. >> how about the power outages or any services open and available for people who need it? >> it really depends where you are, right? where we're standing, there is no power. part of the reason it is so dark in part of the area behind me, there's power lines down everywhere. a lot of utilities have been shut off, but in neighboring towns like santa

monica, beverly hills, they they do still have power. and things are kind of going on as normal. except you can still smell. excuse me? smell the smoke. and the air quality is still bad, but luckily people don't have to go very far to have those basic necessities. hoping people at least living in this area did get out. >> all right, connor hanson there in the malibu area. thank you for that update. >> all right. our time is 615. authorities in nevada say the fires in la could affect the main fuel line service to southern nevada. officials say some gas services will suffer temporary disruptions. the cal nevada pipeline is a main line bringing gasoline and other types of fuels from california refineries to las vegas. las vegas city officials say drivers are advised to avoid a lot of driving for the time being, while the pipeline is potentially disruptive. >> time now 616. back over to sal for a look at traffic.

you've been keeping an eye on a few things. >> that's right. and we do have a little bit of crowd showing up at the bay bridge. some of those middle lanes are crowded. not much though. that's not much to deal with. and i think it's probably going to be lighter throughout the whole morning. we'll see, of course, unless something happens. southbound 880. some progress being made on that crash in union city, and also the same with westbound 580 at north flynn. there was a car fire, so the fire is out. however, we still have a lot of slowing and the emergency vehicles are distracting everyone. you will see that traffic on highway four is not slow yet, and that's good. contra costa county. nice and quiet. we'll just leave it that. leave it that way. 617. here's a man who knows all about the weather. it's mr. steve paulson. >> i think i don't think i heard you quiet on highway four sound. i hear you say that. >> it's unusual. >> it's not unusual. thank you. sorry. santa rosa yesterday. airport 78. what? you heard me.

78. that a north wind. that'll do it. santa rosa in town, 76. menlo park, san jose, san rafael, walnut creek, sfo and oakland. all between 70 and 75. were there any records? yes. there were. redwood city 75. that was a record breaking the old 74 1962. sfo tied also 1962, in oakland, 70 broke the old mark of 67 not that long ago. 2015, by the way, 2015. we had no rain in january, so that makes some sense, right? boy, this is just a really bad pattern to be in. wind speeds have come down a little bit. it was up to 43 miles an hour at oakland north. they're now 25, but it's still a north or northeast breeze. atlas peak, mount veeder, sonoma mountain. take your pick. even even out to the strait and the delta. that's an east breeze. wind advisory starts at midnight tonight. goes through 10 a.m. sunday, mainly in the hills, but i think it will be a blustery pattern no matter what. 30s, 40s and 50s come down a little bit there in berkeley and oakland, but they're still in the 50s there a

lot of 40s, a lot more 30s yesterday. to the north you can find a few. point reyes station is 39 at point reyes is 56. bolinas fire station 56, richmond 58. that's your offshore breeze right there. windsor, middletown, sonoma, all at 42 bits up in alturas, 18 in truckee and mammoth. and then 20 in south lake tahoe. there is just nothing for us. this is a long, dry pattern and breezy to windy at times, mild to warm, although we will get a little cooler over the weekend. it's all about not only breezy to windy for us, but continuation in southern california today. wind speeds have picked up and they may pick up again early next week. and if you are looking for rain, keep looking because i don't see anything. there were some hints around the 21st 22nd. now they've taken that out. good day sunshine. lots of sun again. windy up in the hills and temperatures will be above average again and probably coming down a little t on the weekend, but still lots of sunshine. >> all right. thank you steve. the oakland police commission is

sunshine. that's not a problem. we will probably not as warm as yesterday, but still above average cooler temps. even though it will be sunny, we'll move in over the weekend. all right, so here it was about union city and 880. is it still there or somewhere else? >> you know what? it's improved in union city. i'm glad you asked me about that because that is gone. so we're looking for that commute to get back to where it once was, which is light, and 680 is light. so if there are no problems, i think we're going to have lighter commutes, except for some of the main ones, like the bay bridge and my camera. the bay bridge camera seems to be on the blink. well, all right, i don't know if i can show it to you, but there's not a big backup there. i'm not sure what's wrong with that camera, but there's not a big backup at the bay bridge, the san mateo bridge or the dumbarton bridge. there's a little backup, though. at the toll plaza of the bay bridge. 632. let's get back to the headlines. >> thank you. sal. today, president elect donald trump is scheduled to be sentenced for

falsifying business records. want to take you there live. the sentencing hearing in a manhattan courtroom is scheduled to get underway very shortly. the u.s. supreme court denied trump's request to delay today's sentencing. a judge overseeing the trial has indicated the president elect will not face any jail time. but again, we're monitoring that situation live as a court proceeding gets underway, and we'll update that story throughout the morning. >> all right, pam, will the firefight down in los angeles county. it is far from over. >> thousands of firefighters from across the west are now in los angeles, helping to battle the wildfires and the winds. yeah. >> ktvu sally rasmus in the studio with us now tracking the two biggest fires and what happened overnight and what firefighters expect today. ali. >> well, dave and pam more windy, dry conditions expected today with the hope of a short, temporary reprieve. later tonight. the palisades and eaton fires combined have consumed about 30,000 acres. those are the two largest fires of the 4

to 5 that are burning right now in los angeles county. the fires have killed at least ten people, but officials, unfortunately expect that number to go up once they're able to go into some of these burned out areas with cadaver dogs. now, the scenes of devastation are just surreal. entire neighborhoods reduced to ashes and rubble, and the fires are still burning. late last night, cal fire reported at least some containment of the palisades fire. about 6%. but that's after it's burned nearly 20,000 acres and destroyed close to 10,000 homes and structures. there are more than 3000 people, firefighters and other emergency crews responding to this fire. the weather conditions have made this a brutal and intense ongoing firefight. southern california has had virtually no rain since may, and while the winds did die down a bit yesterday, there were still 40 mile an hour wind gusts they had to contend with. at a briefing last night, cal fire spoke about the weather conditions affecting this firefight friday into saturday. >> very quiet, very calm conditions, just typical winds,

onshore sea breezes, things like that. but then unfortunately, beginning sunday and continuing through most of next week, we have a return of the santa anas. >> the fuels are also very receptive to burning right now because, well, we just haven't had any rain here. all all fall and into the winter. >> then there is the second largest fire in l.a. county, the eaton fire, north of pasadena and the community of altadena. it also grew in size and has now burned more than 13,000 acres, destroyed more than 4000 homes and structures. that fire is zero containment. 180,000 people in los angeles county are under evacuation orders. many who are allowed to stay home are being told not to drink their tap water because it may be contaminated by the fire, debris and the ash. more than a dozen school districts throughout the county are closed again today, and while there is supposed to be a break in those windy conditions later tonight and into tomorrow, that is expected to help. but again, as you heard earlier, it is just a temporary reprieve. another round of dangerous, dry and windy

conditions are expected again next week. dave and pam, back to you. >> all right. thank you ali. time now. 635. and in those fires, almost 800 prison inmates are out there battling the flames. the state department of corrections and rehabilitation says prisoners voluntarily sign up to be a part of the fire programs. the prisoners will get paid between 6 and $10 a day, plus another dollar an hour when they respond to active emergencies. 29 young firefighters between 18 and 25 years old are also trying to fight those fires in los angeles as part of their juvenile court sentence. that's also done on a volunteer basis. >> later this morning, president biden will meet with his top aides in the oval office to review the federal response to the fires in the los angeles area. the president says he plans to ask congress for more federal funding to help the thousands of people who have lost their homes and businesses. president biden announced the federal government will pay the entire cost of the disaster

response for the next six months. now, however, the president elect is stepping up his attack on california's democratic leaders. in their response. >> but they've had horrible politicians. i think that gavin is largely incompetent, and i think the mayor is largely incompetent, and probably both of them are just stone cold incompetent. what they've done is terrible. >> president elect trump's accusations about water management and disaster preparedness in california goes back to his first term in office. state leaders point out that the forest management is not directly related to water storage. >> time now. 637 los angeles mayor karen bass also being criticized for the handling of these wildfires. >> do you regret cutting the fire department budget by millions of dollars, madam mayor, have you nothing to say today? have you absolutely

nothing to say to the citizens today? >> on wednesday, a reporter caught up with mayor bass at lax as she was coming home from a diplomatic trip to ghana. she went to ghana. she left ghana on saturday when the weather service started warning about the windstorms that fueled all of those deadly wildfires. mayor bass was asked about the impact of a $17 million budget cut in july to the l.a. fire department. >> there were no reductions that were made that would have impacted the situation that we were dealing with over the last couple of days. >> mayor bass says she's frustrated that many fire hydrants ran out of water because the palisades water storage tanks couldn't be filled fast enough during the fire fight. on wednesday, she said the demand was so great because air tankers and helicopters had been grounded. >> 638 is the time. back over to

sal to check in on our friday morning commute. how's it look, sal? >> you know, it looks okay. i've been looking at the wider view. and by the way, that was a nice view behind dave and pam just a little bit ago, boy. anyway, right now the wider view of traffic is that things are improving. we do have a little bit of slowing at the bay bridge toll plaza. not a lot, but a little. and that's because of a crash on the bridge westbound. they had to turn the metering lights on. so i think what's going to happen here is whenever we have something going on, we're going to have a backup, but otherwise we have a pretty decent commute. we have a little slowing on highway four and a little bit of slowing on 80 westbound. there was a crash westbound 80 at richmond parkway. so again, when there is a crash, there's going to be a backup. otherwise we're in pretty good shape. speaking of being in pretty good shape, a natural transition to mr. steve paulson. >> you know, you see pictures of yourself like ten, 15. you're like, man, i was good then then, right?

>> not too bad now, my man. come on now. >> i try. all right. 30s, 40s 50s on the temps here. there's still a pretty good little breeze up in the hills, though. kensington, 53. i received a nice note from. i can't remember your name. i have it at home. i'll write you, i promise. he said, thank you for mentioning us here in kensington. it's my pleasure. it's a beautiful little community. berkeley 52. 38 in lafayette. you might have to wait a little bit. take that walk around the reservoir. but 40 for others. we're up on the temps here a little bit because of the breeze. 18, 2018 truckee 20 south lake tahoe 39, ukiah sacramento 39, santa barbara 38, san diego 58. so there you go. this is just really a dry pattern. i don't see any break in it. and it will be a breezy to windy pattern. picks up decreases. it will be mild to warm, although it will be cooler over the weekend as a couple of weak systems drop in here. good day sunshine clear to cold to mild. if you get the mild it's

not bad. 60s on the temps i think the breeze missed a breeze. will be they call me. the breeze will be in town for a while. >> all right steve thank you. time now 640. dignitaries in georgia and washington, d.c, paying respects to the late president jimmy carter. while here in the bay area, people are reflecting on his lasting impact, helping millions of people find a place to

businesses have been destroyed and thousands of people have been evacuated. well, today, the call to ban tiktok heads to the u.s. supreme court. lawyers for the social media platform will argue against a law that would lead to its ban here in the u.s. the law in question requires china based tiktok owner bytedance to cut ties from the company before january 19th, or lose access to the app store and web hosting services here in the u.s. [music] russia's that fast. >> it was a beautiful ceremony. the nation's capital came together for a final farewell to former president jimmy carter. he was honored with a state funeral at the washington national cathedral before his casket was flown to georgia to be buried alongside his wife, rosalynn. now, all five living presidents were at the funeral to pay their respects. president obama and president elect donald trump sat next to each other, even shared a laugh together.

president joe biden delivered the eulogy, and he remembered jimmy carter as being a humble man of deep faith. colleagues and family members also honored the former president's legacy of selfless leadership and service. >> people here in the bay area also celebrated the life of jimmy carter. outside san jose city hall, a memorial was held to allow people to honor the late president. a similar event was held at oakland's frank ogawa plaza. carter's term in office came with doubters, but it was much of his diplomatic work after his presidency that garnered support. president carter and his wife, rosalynn, are most known for their time volunteering with habitat for humanity, helping families purchase and build their own homes. >> he and rosalynn showed up bright and early at 730 in the morning, ready to go, and they were there all day long. and they they actually installed a front door on one of the houses over here on jackson street in san jose, and he took his time with it. he was a good he's a

good carpenter. >> in 2013, the jimmy and rosalynn carter work project brought the couple to the bay area for community building projects in east oakland and san jose. >> time is now 646. dozens of elderly residents in san francisco will be losing their homes this spring. saint anne's home on lake street in san francisco will close april 8th because of staffing shortages and rising operating costs. 59 elders are now forced to find new places to live. now that home provides medical care, physical therapy and a lot more for the residents, the little sisters plan to redirect funding from this closure to upgrading and building new facilities in other parts of the country. >> people in west oakland say they are frustrated about garbage fires in their neighborhood. the area has been a common dumping site. this is a video of a huge garbage fire on wood street, right under 880, in west oakland. oakland fire says progress is being made a number

of homeless encampment fires have dropped, but they still have been 1100 reported fires still far too many. >> still incredibly dangerous, still very hazardous to both firefighters and residents. neighbors. >> vehicle traffic. last month, a person was found dead near or possibly in a car that was caught on fire in the same area. and last june, pacific supply was severely damaged by a garbage fire that spread to the building. business owners say the city is either slow to respond or does not respond at all. >> all right, pam. time is 648. sal is back. is it friday late? doesn't look like it's around the bay bridge. >> well, it would have been. here's the thing that i almost felt like president biden. here's the deal. on the bay bridge, there was a crash, and our bay bridge camera has been iffy, so i'm going to get off of it now. we don't like looking at black on the screen, but there was a crash at treasure island and it turned out to be a

non-injury crash. other than that, it would have been a light commute. so friday light with a qualification everywhere there's been a problem. obviously there has been slow traffic. there is a car fire here. that fire has long been out, but the equipment is still there. and there's a new crash reported southbound 880 at auto mall parkway. remember we had an earlier crash in union city. now there's a new crash in fremont, and this is quickly backing traffic up throughout fremont. so things happen, especially when the roads are wide open. some people get going pretty fast. 648 let's bring steve back in with today's weather. >> 55 for me, sal. yes, exactly. hands on the wheel. >> exactly ten and 3:00. >> steve. yes, sir. thank you. were there record highs yesterday? yes. there were. redwood city, pat yourselves on the back. 75 s.f. that was a record. sfo tied 71 going back to 1962 for both in downtown oakland 70 warm degrees. the old mark was 67 not that long ago

2015. what's important about 2015? that was a dry january. no rain fell in january and san francisco, so i'm not surprised we're seeing similar now, although we had a little bit more rain, but not that much. and there's nothing showing up out about two weeks or so unless something dramatically changes. i think we're stuck in this pattern. and sometimes when patterns repeat themselves, they can be good and sometimes they can be bad. and this is one of those ones where you just really wish it wouldn't last, but it looks like it's going to. another wind advisory starts at midnight tonight and goes through 10 a.m. sunday, mainly for those of you up in their hills, but it could make it to the surface for some as well. 30s, 40s and 50s on the temps. walnut creek and menlo park have something in common. they're both 38 this morning. mill valley is 55 pillar points 50. pacifica 56 yet woodside, atherton, menlo park, palo alto 38 stanford campuses hold my light beer 37. dave 37 there. 18

in truckee. 39 sacramento. ukiah. bookends there. viva las vegas 37 and 58. in san diego, it looks like just more rounds of offshore wind. sometimes it's breezy, sometimes it's downright windy. the wind is picked up in southern california again. hopefully it will turn more east or southeast instead of north northeast, but it does not look promising here going into early next week at all. good day sunshine. not as warm as yesterday, but still above average. it will be cooler over the weekend, even though it does look sunny and breezy. temperatures staying above average today. they'll start to slide a little bit and i think another round of wind early next week. dave. >> all right steve. thank you. time. 650 in the south bay. a university earns national recognition for having diversity and student access. bravo to san jose state, one of six schools honored by the department of education. right now, let's check in with gasia mikaelian. see what's coming up in the 7:00 hour of mornings on two. good morning. gasia. good morning. >> it's a busy one. and of

last night. the warriors beat the pistons in detroit 107 to 104. after they lost two straight games at home, the warriors defeated a red hot pistons team that had won nine out of their last ten games. last night's game in detroit marked draymond green's return to michigan. that's where he grew up and played college basketball. he praised the bench of the warriors. >> one thing we talked about all year was our depth that we would rely on our depth. and you know, tonight it showed up for us in a major way. >> warriors continued their road trip. tonight they'll be playing the pacers in indiana. well, warriors head coach steve kerr says his childhood home in pacific palisades has been destroyed in the big fire, 1969 my parents bought that house and i was just there, you know, two weeks ago for dinner, you know, night before our game, we just celebrated my mom's 90th birthday there this past summer.

may soon get to buy affordable fire insurance in the future. so far, there's no official dollar amount for the damages in the l.a. wildfires, but some experts are estimating it will cost between 20 and $50 billion for insurance companies. consumers have been losing insurance coverage as those insurance companies try to adjust to wildfires that are getting worse. >> a lot of people around the state have been unable to afford insurance. even the rich folks in pacific palisades here in la, some of them did not renew their insurance coverage, which means they're not covered at all. >> depending on the magnitude of those assessments, that that could definitely be a factor that that makes insurers look twice about coming back to california. >> california now requires catastrophic catastrophe models and also risk assessments that could help keep rates in check.

but there are concerns insurance companies may stop offering insurance in california because the high cost of doing business here. well, the santa ana winds are a normal part of the environment in southern california during the winter months. but the experts say these santa ana winds were some of the strongest in a decade. and they came as southern california is again experiencing drought conditions. stanford professor noah diffenbaugh told us it. research shows global warming is creating more extreme weather conditions that are likely to keep getting worse. >> we also know that global warming is increasing the frequency of these swings between dry to wet and wet to dry conditions. and you know, what we've seen here in california in the last decade has really been typical of that. we had a historic drought, you know, 2012 to 2016 or so. then we got really wet conditions that that ended that drought.

then we got another historic drought, another record breaking drought after that. >> and he said that the rainy winters allow more vegetation to grow, which then dries out during the periods of drought. >> we've lost everything our home. two homes, like, didn't have time to get everything out of the house. [music] >> improved conditions for firefighters as they work to make progress in that intense southern california fire fight. where we are when it comes to acres burned and evacuations as thousands of families wait for word on whether their home survived and the help on the way from the federal government in the final days of president biden's time in office. how the feds will pick up the bill when it comes to the firefighting efforts. then millions of people living in and around the fire zone impacted by this disaster. why air quality is such a concern, and what more and more people are turning to in hopes of protecting their health?
