playing in front of fans at levi time in a long time. naturally fans were excited to be back here due to the pandemic, levi few changes to the game day playbook. fans scanned themselves into the stadium grounds with a digital tickets. parking passes were also digital. >> everything is easy. it has been super easy. eslike store, museum and luxury boxes but fans were not required to wear masks while in the sands however, many did anyway. >> i still believe in wearing the masks. it makes no difference where i go. >> reporter: the last type is where was on january 19th, 2020 when the niners beat the packers in the nfc championship game. these brothers were in the stands then and they make a be sure to be bad for the preseason opener. >> it was amazing. it was great. >> reporter: they were all for the new safety measures. >> is a good thing with all the crazy covid cases going up again. >> the family felt like most faithful fans were on board with the new policies. >> everyone is very respectful of personal space. the staff is great. everyone

levi's stadium will welcome them back tomorrow but there are new rules in place.id-19 has changed the game day safety playbook a bit. if you're headed here tomorrow you'll need to know a few things. you'll have to have digital copies of your parking passes and tickets on your phones. you'll actually scan yourself into the stadium grounds. when you're in indoor spaces such as the luxury suites, the team store, or the museum, you'll be required to wear face coverings, but when you're in the stands and the outdoor spaces on stadium grounds, you will not be required to wear masks. fans will not need to show proof of vaccination or a negative covid-19 test to gain entry to the stadium, either. we spoke with several fans today. they're all eager to watch the niners in person tomorrow. >> no problem with it, i think it's great. got to keep everybody safe. >> safety first. >> i'm just going along with everything. >> still going to be a great game. we've lived a year wearing a mask. you can keep going. >> many fans swung by the team store today to grab some new niners gear

one of these levies has failed. when you put a tremendous amount of water in the region, the wind speeds, at one point, making landfall at 150 miles per hour, it's among the strongest storms we've ever seen make landfall across the u.s. in grand isle, the wind measuring device had 148 miles per hour wind gusts and it's indicative of it breaking down because of the intensity of the storm system. we lost communication with it. winds could have gone higher than that. it speaks to how intense of a storm we're tracking here. here it goes. very organized. we think it'll finally begin breaking down and become a tropical storm in the next several hours. monday afternoon across portions of the state of mississippi and eventually as we go into monday night and tuesday morning, we'll see it cross into the tennessee valley and push across the ohio valley even into the northeast. so a significant weather player and peak hurricane season, christine, just about a week away. idata and now transitioning to julian. 80% it's kate evol

so the levies in lace here, over 3,000 miles of levies make up the protection zone of louisiana that keeps cities like new orleans safe from hurricane flooding. and now a levy is failing at this hour. so it speaks to how much intensity the storm has. landfall, 150 miles per hour. coming in around noon central time when it made landfall, we had wind gusts observed at 152 miles per hour. and in grand isle, a wind gust of 148. and the asterisks here is because the wind measuring device broke off, the instrument stopped reporting at 148 miles per hour. again, talking about an impressive storm here. this is the strongest storm ever to impact louisiana. so where is it headed? it will spend much of monday across the state of mississippi as a tropical depression and push into portions of the tennessee valley tuesday and pick up speed and move into the ohio valley by wednesday. so this is going to pick up that forward progression through this afternoon and tonight. but it is a very slow mover before it exits off to the north and east. these are the estimated rainfall amounts that have come do

a levy failure can be more catastrophic. they're not the same thing. obviously we're going to continue to monitor the flood protection system. i can tell you right now we do not anticipate any overtopping of the mississippi river levies or overtopping of the levies in the hurricane risk reduction system around the greater new orleans area. clearly you've seen the reports and up until a short while ago, i was able to look at live video feeds. there are significant storm surge storm surges around port fourchon and grand isle. cpra is prestaged pumps across louisiana and will deploy flood fighting in need of dewatering as soon as it is safe to do so. this is obviously a very fluid situation. it is rapidly changing. that's why everyone needs to stay abreast by listening to news and following the guidance from your local officials. really, nobody in southeast louisiana should be out on the roads. but if travel becomes absolutely necessary after the storm, please proceed with extreme caution. there will be 45hazards out the you may experience before any law

again, you look at the levy system here, you know the levy system expands quite a bit. in the state of louisiana, there are 293 levy systems spanning 3,200 miles worth of levies that protect the state. you put that in new york city, stretch it to los angeles and it speaks to the amount of coverage and the protection set in place to try to protect the city against hurricane driven storm surge and floods. but the intensity is causing levy failures. one of them right here. winds were 150 miles per hour at landfall. gusts, observed here at 153 miles per hour. the wind measuring device stopped reporting at 148 miles per hour. these are historic values on back-to-back years. hurricane laura this time last year came ashore with 150 miles per hour in the state. incredible scenario playing out. >> yeah. just extraordinary. pedram, many thanks. now to derek van dam on the phone with me from homer, louisiana, near where the storm made landfall. i know we had trouble getting your signal up. you have been in louisiana since ida hit as a category 4. how bad has it been? >> rosemary,

kate rooney is live at levi stadium with the details. kate, how did everything go? >> hey, jonathan. that was pretty much the story of the day. you could say it went well for the forty-niners. the final score of the game was 3410 in favor of san francisco. sut we don't look at scores too much in pre season. right. what we look at is what actually happened on the field today. you saw 2 different philosophies in play. the raiders and jon gruden haven't started any of their starters all preseason. so it was third-string quarterback nathan peterman taking every snap for the raiders. and a look at a lot of their backups at other positions as well for the forty-niners. meanwhile, the starters were the ones who took the field and got several series and including jimmy garoppolo and trey lance, as jonathan said, he saw the debut of this to quarterback system. jimmy coming up for a few plays them. lance coming in for a few plays and back and forth not lead to a lot of questions. is this what we can expect to see once the regular season gets underway. here's what kyle shanaha

the field and bay area fans have been waiting a decade to see, the 49ers and raiders squaring off at levi stadium this afternoon for a preseason game and the 49ers 1 34-10 but as john ramos reports the rilrmo in stands thethe field. >> reporter: the battle of the bay has been described as a family affair, but one fan said it's not really like two brothers but two cousins who don't really get along very well. on august 20, 2011 the niners played the raiders in a preseason game at candlestick and there were so many fights in the stand that night that the league actually band the two teams for meeting in the preseason and for the fans that ended today. the tailgate party was rocking this morning and a lot is changed for both teams. candlestick is gone, and the raiders have moved to nevada, the nation is still here. >> is the closest thing we will have two tailgating for the raiders. >> it is a home game but it seems like we are visitors here and a lot of raider fans. >> reporter: it is been a strange rivalry since the two teams don't play each other very often, but the fan bases have bumped

but levi stadium is going cashless this season.ans to use credit cards or touchless payment options. instead and even with covid protocols in place. it isn't ruining the mood. and if they wanted me to wrap myself in cellophane. i would do it. >> fans say they're looking forward to more than just the romance of the game. it's it's a part of us. i contacts mow the grass. >> you're just. >> i know that the morning miss what we know from the valley. you know, it's it's it's it's nothing else on that. >> the forty-niners take the field for their first preseason game. august, 14th against the kansas city chiefs at levi stadium. camila barco kron 4 news. >> a big came out that sun. hey, big boy. >> now pilots demonstrate some nerves of steel after calmly preventing a bear from the tag look at that viral video shows a massive alaskan brown bear just simply strolling toward a group of tourists visiting caught my park as the bear moved closer. the group. well, they froze like many of us would so would an attack that experts say the group. ex

like she just said today we saw a dual quarterback system at levi stadium.my g played 14 of the forty-niners first 24 snaps, trey lance play the other 10. it seemed to work today. obviously. but can it work in the regular season. i'm not so sure a big believer that quarterback. they need a rhythm in is year planting in a different quarterback every 9.10, plays. how can you get that rhythm seems gimmicky defenses can eventually learn and pick up from that. you're not going to catch anyone off guard. if you continue to do it and have you ever seen a playoff team to this consistently i'm all for kyle shanahan being innovative in pushing the game forward. but it is better not to reinvent the wheel. and that's what i think the forty-niners might be trying to do here. but the great thing about sports, all we have to do is wait we'll find out. the answer whether i'm right where the cows right. we'll find out soon. first game september 12 detroit. i can't wait. jimmy g trey lance, it looks like they're both going to be under center a lot. okay. now we heard from the

that the levies are better able to withstand overtopping.but that doesn't mean we can be complacent, there is still a substantial rain event, and 0rleans still a substantial rain event, and orleans is in a bowl so it has to be pumped out and if we are seeing up to 24 inches of rain and within power outages at many major pumps they do believe we are going to see flooding as a result of that so i am quite concerned for that flooding but i'm not that concerned for catastrophic levy spillover. let's take a look at some other stories in the headlines. in southern yemen, at least 30 soldiers have been killed in an attack on an airbase. a fighter who witnessed what happened at the al—anad base said it was targeted by a drone. the army has blamed houthi rebels. france's president macron has urged iraq's different religious communities to work together to rebuild the country. he made the appeal from a church in mosul that was badly damaged in the battle to re—capture it from the islamic state group. in israel, the third coronavirus booster vaccine is

yes there have been mandatory evacuations for people who live outside the levies but there are some levies west bank of the mississippi river and we are expecting some overtopping of those levies because they are just barely above the expected storm surge so we could have flooding in the west bank of new orleans and many of those people are not evacuating. yes, many people are evacuating and there's been a massive surge of people coming out. the motorways have been absolutely jammed with people leaving the city but many of the contingency plans for mandatory evacuation have not been put into place. nursing homes are not being evacuated and people who don't have cars are not being provided with the city —assisted evacuation programme. what about in terms of after the storm has passed? what are other facilities like? because covid had an influence on the hospitals in the area in terms of people who will need help? will there be enough capacity for people who need help? that is a huge concern and already our hospitals are bursting at the seams with people who are dealing with covid. and if we

the levy system has been reinforced.ob to building a category three protection level. they put the gates in. the gates were the primary weak spot that we didn't have prior to katrina and the water entered the canals and the secondary levies broke. that's how water got into the interior of the city, and massive work has been done in terms of gates and locks to prevent the surge water from violating the internal levies that would go into the canals that are used for the pumps to pump the water out of the city. and all that is much improved at around $14 billion or $15 billion worth of work was done. so i think there's some confidence by many that having people in the city hunkering in place is a good guidance based on what the parish official is saying if you don't get out by tonight is what i heard them say and should always listen to locals. but we do this in the covid environment, jim, and the area it's going in is very dangerous. it's going between baton rouge and new orleans. a point that hadn't been talked about. 150

so you got to get vaccinated for every game at levi's stadium.ask will be required anytime you're inside. you won't need it whenever you're in the stance for now, you don't need to show proof of vaccination or negative covid-19 test. no word. if that may change in the future, we were champion of vaccinations. we still are today asking people to get vaccinated. as you know, we had 350,000. we'll walk through the gates of levi's this past off season, so it just stands to reason that if you put the mask on, you're going to do something for everybody else, not just yourself. whatever the protocols, these fans say they are worth it to follow to have a football game today. would you say it's worth it to get you to its worthy? yeah, i think i have two positions because it down or or everybody, uh, mask up, so we do not part transportation may still be a headache for several more weeks. vestas light rail service is still suspect. ended following the mass shooting in may. no word just yet on when that will be restored. reporting from levi stadium. i'm jam

there is the river levy, the levy of the mississippi river. we are not concerned on that.e are concerned with what we consider our back levy that protects the marshes. some are smaller. with the protected 10 to 15 foot storm surge we are concerned about some of those levies getting breached and inundating the highway. h we have highway 23 on the west bank, that's the only way in and out. highway 39 on the east bank of the parish is the only way in and out. those waters inundate those highways, it gives us grave concern. >> if something like that happens, what is the -- what are the options for an emergency response should people still have not heeded the evacuations warnings? >> by then we have rocked the levies that will allow us to get emergency vehicles to transport on, which is the river levee. we feel confident that we will be able to handle that. the water that is coming in, you know, we all -- we can almost count on it, but the problem is this storm stalls, we will have more trouble. if it continues on its forward path that we think it is, we may catch a break in th

i hope those that levies will hold out. at least not expected to be. katrina produced a 28 point surge, to give you some comparison, along the coast of mississippi which is the highest surge ever recorded in the western hemisphere. that was an absolute incredible situation with that surge. 15 feet is still a massive surge and can do a lot of damage and the hope is it will not reach any of the levee systems we have in place but again it is all unfolding right now and we will have to wait and see.— to wait and see. hurricane ida intensified — to wait and see. hurricane ida intensified very _ to wait and see. hurricane ida intensified very quickly, - to wait and see. hurricane ida j intensified very quickly, didn't to wait and see. hurricane ida - intensified very quickly, didn't it? from a1 to two and overnight to a four, has it finished growing and developing? and thinking it was in the past before it started to make its way to you. the past before it started to make its way to you-— its way to you. yes, it passed a cube and
