it is not just enough to bring meteorology and engineering to the problem. we also have to bring social science, pushing out warning the last mile, to hear from those who study communications in a disciplined way. we need to hear from sociologists. another example -- that title of this hearing as the question, our investments paying off? the answer is, we think so, but we do not know how much. if they were really investments, we will have a much better idea of the return on those investments. that requires that we invest in economic analysis that we are not doing. when it comes to natural disasters, we should also do better at learning from experience. we do this and aviation. when the wing falls off the airplane, we get around the wreckage site until we see what happened and then we go and fix it. we lack an agency like that to perform that function for natural hazards, and the result is that we rebuild as before. because we do that, we condemn future generations to a great deal of unnecessary pain and suffering. all this requires that the government and pr

the web camera from the fine, fine meteorology department at san jose state.santa rosa has had a cool week. with the fog coming in they will stop right there. a stronger sea breeze today. a little just one push from the system to the north that's all it takes. the high backs off a little bit. that allows the fog to lift and increasing fog and low clouds even for inland areas. a stronger delta breeze means slightly cooler for inland temps. low clouds and sunny. cool coast. the breeze has picked up though. we will see temperatures 50s and 60s for many along the coast. 70s along the bay. upper 80s this time to low 90s. i think temperatures topped out the last two days. that will take a little dive today. cool down on friday and saturday. warm earl on sunday. >>> we look forward to that. time now 4:56. the longest standoff in tulsa, oklahoma is over. a 25-year-old man surrounderred to police after spending six days camped on top of a radio tower. for days they tried different methods to get him down. yesterday he climbed into a cherry picker and was lowered down.
