"today in the bay"s, we're live in san francisco kelling us how much is expected to hit the bay area and what if any risks the public faces. good morning, bob. >> reporter: good morning, laura. the general con sen is among the experts is that this is not something that we as individuals should be worried about. if radiation does make it here to the bay area, it would be detected by a detector that's located on the top of the bay area air quality management office here in san francisco, which we're standing outside of right now. on the roof is one of over 100 radiation monitors that the epa operates up and down the west coast. the question is whether that plume of radiation will filter into our part of california. this is a computer model put together by the comprehensive test band treaty organization obtained by the "new york times." looking at it it does not appear that this plume is expected to drift over the bay area. the animation shows the plume avoiding hawaii, floating over the aleutian islands of alaska later today, and then pushing over southern california as early as tomorr

in the bay area. the reason being is that the 408 numbers have been exhausted. now, if you are doing the math, you are probably thinking, well, boy, there aren't that many people in the south bay to exhaust the numbers because they have up to 8 million numbers, but the problem is when phone companies assign numbers they sometimes assign them in blocks of 1,000. so let's say if you are in a 432 prefix, you get 1,000 numbers and only use a couple hundred of them. there are a lot of orphan numbers. what's going to happen is possibly at the end of next year they would assign 669 numbers. one of two things would happen, if you are in the 408 number, you may still be able to stay 408. this will only apply to nose with new service, or take 408ers and split them in half. it will still be a while to figure out whether you keep 408 or move to 669. but whatever does happen, 669 would be the seventh area code for the bay area. and it would be, of course, the first time the south bay has had a new prefix. 408 in a
