this cloth is sent back here to mount vernon not too terribly long before the inauguration. when washington gets the fabric, there is a tailor that's indentured here, an irishman named calvin boa, who makes this piece into into. makes this piece into a tailored coat for george washington. there was probably also a waistcoat or a coat that goes underneath and a pair of breeches or pants that go to the knees that went along with this. and so, when washington was sworn in, he wore this piece and everybody knew it at the time. it was covered in all the newspapers that here washington was supporting the establishment of manufacturing in america and washington does that over and over again, whether it's with textiles, whether it's with glass, all these different manufacturers, he really is encouraging that work here in the united states. he wears this piece, but in the 18th century, you didn't just wear an outfit once. he would have worn this all throughout the presidency. it is a formal style. it is single-breasted. it's not intended to be buttoned, but there were buttons on it t

it's a chameleon which is only found on mount mabu.other species of the same genus, which are found on other neighbouring mountains. each mountain basically has its own and this one has been named afterjulian bayliss, so it's called nadzikambia baylissi. it's a tree chameleon, so hence the long tail. the long tail, yeah. the next morning, the porters, the scientists and us were on our way again to our final destination, 1,400m above sea level. welcome to the centre of mabu forest. wow. welcome to the heart of mabu forest. this is about as good as it gets. the forest is in excellent condition. the water is crystal clear — beautiful for drinking and washing. this is going to be the base for the next ten days, something like that, where we're going to survey the biology, the ecology, the plants, the animals. these are collectively known as islands in the sky, and they're high—altitude mountains with pockets of wet forest, found at a high altitude near their summits. because they've been isolated and separated for a very long time, the pla

so these are mount vernon oaks. they are in effect, the great, great, great grandchildren of the original trees that were chopped down in the 7030s and the 1750s and the 1770s that built this house. so that was a really nice opportunity for us to incorporate basically the same family of trees back into the house in our in our work. but in some places where where we couldn't use green timber. and what i mean by that is since we're cutting down these trees and and chewing them up and basically squaring them into timber while they're still wet from being cut down because it's easier to work the wood that way. and that's the way they did it in the 18th century. but we're dealing with a house that has stood here for over 250 years. it's framed work is really dry now. and so in places where we couldn't have any shrinkage in the wood, we have opted to use salvaged timbers, which we've gotten from buildings principally from suppliers. in ohio. so these would probably have been 19th century barns that had been taken down dec

mount vernon on, december 18th. but first city to know about the death of washington was here in alexandria alexandria post the very first announcement of washington's death alexandria paper on december 16th it took about a week from december 16th for the news of washington's death to travel all the way even to just new york. so there was a national funeral in philadelphia, which was then the capitol held at the end of the year on, december 26. but in that gap of time where people had known that he had died, people wanted to publicly mourn. half in the old presbyterian meeting house was the home of the memorial services for george washington for the city of alexandria, for memorial services were held here him at the church. lafayette does not find out about the death of george washington until february of 1800. the news has travel across the atlantic. once he finds out, he immediately writes to martha washington expressing his condolences. and martha writes, this is only one of four condolence letters of returned co

i'm the martha washington chief curator here at george washington's mount vernon. and i'm going to be sharing you george washington's inaugural coat that's made of wool for that from the hartford woolen manufacturer. this is the coat that george washington was wearing when he was sworn in as the nation's first president on april 30th, 1789. it is an incredible object that has a number of really stories about it. the piece itself is made of wool broad cloth, which would have been a the the cloth that most coats made out of in the 18th century for for wearing outside washington was sworn in at federal hall on that day in 1789. and it was it was an outside event. so he was on the piazza there or there, the loggia. that's right in front there was right in front of that building. this piece has an incredible history. it represents really wanting to support american manufacturing. it is made of wool from the hartford manufactory in hartford. and the story behind this piece is really significant because before during the american before the american revolution in the hist

this is right at the foot of mount everest, within mount everest national park.se are remote communities, about 4000 kilometres high and temperatures are well below freezing. unmanned drains have been sent to search the area and assess who needs help and wet so they can direct the rescue teams into the right areas. we have seen a lot of the buildings— these are lowrise buildings — they have collapsed in some of the remote regions and communities. we have also seen on state media, firefighters searching through the rubble and trying to make sure they can find any casualties quickly. this is a region used to earthquakes but this is the strongest earthquake they have experience in this region in five years and there have been more than 40 after—shocks in the four hours that have followed and they are about four on the richter scale but they are still continuing and it must be terrifying for those communities are really going through so much. presumably it is challenging — through so much. presumably it is challenging to _ through so much. presumably it is challengin

what you look at now is mount wilson. that is known for those large towers we've been telling you about for days that they were so concerned about. it is on fire right now. that's where transition of 911 calls happen. a huge technological hub for los angeles and you can see the heavy smoke. moments ago we were drilled in. we don't control the helicopter shot. it could even be a drone shot. i'm not certain. you can see the distance of that smoke. it is burning and moments ago you could see the actual flames. he is pulling out a little bit. wow, look at this. mount wilson. they had hoped it wouldn't reach that point where those towers are. we're watching it. >> the strength and resolve of los angeles county residents as well as our extraordinary first responders from every level of government, as well as our private citizens from across the country and right here in our own county will be the way we get through this unimaginable tragedy. thank you. i would like to welcome up l.a. county fire chief anthony maroney. >> thank

mount diablo, with some strong winds coming out of the north here at 43. so the big headline here is, as we roll through tonight, we're still looking at some of these isolated gusts, 15 to about 35mph that still could get up there for the lower elevations and the mountains 40 to about 50. but look at how that wind calms down for tomorrow morning. it's only 3 to 18mph. we would continue to see that wind cacalming do through tomorrow afternoon and evening. so again, i think tonight we get through that and we're good to go here across the bay area. southern california likely going to stay under strong winds all the way through tomorrow evening. so here's the deal. that area of low pressure with the wind moving well off towards the south away from us tomorrow, we still have this area of high pressure that's going to keep us dry in the forecast. so we're going to begin it like this down to 46 in the south bay. a little bit cooler here with some clear skies to start 42 in the tri-valley. temperatures also dipping down here to the 40s across the east bay, san fra

take a look at mount saint helena. is now at 64 mile per hour winds that we've seen close to 80 at times this morning. and at mount diablo it's now at 40mph. so around that area you can hear those winds. and where we see the purple, that's our higher elevations. we're getting at least 50 mile per hour winds this morning, all of this wind piling up someig waves near the coast. and we will be under a beach hazard statement until 9:00 this evening. we may see some of those breakers up to 15 to 20ft right now around santa cruz. they're running at about ten feet. and then looking at some of our inland areas where it will be breezy today, but a lot of sunshine. it's going to be overall a pretty nice day and above normal temperatures. looking ahead, we will wait quite a while before we see another chance of rain in the forecast. in fact, the storm track going well to the north of us and there is not a drop in the rain of drop of rain in the forecast through at least the middle of the month. now we watch these, the forecast th

mount saint helena right now 70 mile per hour winds. mount diablo 51. while it is breezy in a lot of the valleys, we are not seeing the kind of wind gusts they're seeing in socal. we have a wind advisory in effect, as we could see some of those gusts between 20 to 30 and gusts in the hills up to 50mph. that could bring down some trees. but we do have a big pressure gradient due to an area of low pressure just to our south and east, and as that creates the santa ana wind conditions in socal, we are going to see some really high wind gusts that will continue for a long period of time. so we're going to continue to see these gusts at 50 to 60mph. and once again, as we mentioned, they could reach 100 and some of those upper elevations. so we'll continue to watch that as well as the fire danger just to our south. and we'll talk about what we're expecting here in the bay area coming up. mike has a look at what you can expect to pay as you fill up at the pump, and it's a few cents more than the lows we started with yesterday. they rose a little bit, but we'll

we've already seen a few areas like mount saint helena and mount diablo hit 50mph earlier today, so most of the coast the peninsula, san francisco, the east bay hills, valleys and our bayside communities, as well as the north bay. but notice this one little section here in the santa clara valley, not included in the advisory. as we talked about, temperatures are much warmer compared to yesterday, up by 18 degrees right now compared to yesterday at this hour. santa rosa, petaluma these were the areas that were really socked in by fog even into the afternoon with that fog advisory. if you remember, 67 right now in san francisco, we have mid 60s reported in walnut creek and upper 60s in novato. as we get into the afternoon, temperatures are going to climb just a little bit more. and today is not even going to be the warmest day. we also have an advisory along our beaches that will continue until 9:00 this evening. for large breaking waves, the increase sneaker waves as well as rip currents, and that will include our entire coastline. so when we get weather like this, folks think, let's head

mount saint helena, still at 47, mount diablo winds out of the north here at 50, and overall i see some gusts still tonight that could get up to 45. but we are going to see all of that wind get out of here tomorrow. i've got more looks to that forecast. and what's happening with those rain chances coming up in about 15 minutes. all right. thank you very much, jeff. again, that palisades fire has burned more than 1200 acres just in a matter of hours. it started at 1030 this morning. it is going to be fueled by those santa ana winds overght. up until 10 p.m. tonight. we're going to keep following this throughout the evening. up at 7:00 tonight, my exclusive report from our nbc climate reporter, chase kane. who's there? let's turn now to a headline that has san francisco leaders cheering. new statistics show the city's crime rate is now the lowest it's been in 23 years. two of the most noticeable drops homicides and car burglaries. and all of this comes as the california department of justice is announcing the sfpd has made big strides in implementing reforms. here's nbc bay area's sergio

you can see i am here in beijing, you can see the tall buildings, that is not the case in those mounts nous regions, these houses are low lie, made of bricks and we have seen footage ofjust of bricks and we have seen footage of just collapsed of bricks and we have seen footage ofjust collapsed and they have fallen on people and rescuers are combing through the rubble, trying to find survivors, we have also seen many people, elderly, children, out on the street being treated by both the army, by the police, and by rescuers themselves, hundreds of people, hundreds of rescuers have been despatched, president xi jinping announced this morning that he issued instructions to ensure that civilian casualties are at a minimum and those who are at a minimum and those who are lost their homes can be at least housed somewhere warm, and somewhere dry for the time being. that is going to be a challenge, becausejust being. that is going to be a challenge, because just as getting rescuers in there is going to be difficult it will be really difficult to get aid trucks into these mountainous regions so

a live view once again from mount tam, and you can see just how shaky that view is. we do have high clouds passing through the bay area right now. we're still tracking those winds, clocking up to about 50 miles an hour overnight 50 in calistoga, 33, san francisco, 37. in fairfield, you'll notice even 40 mile an hour winds around 4 a.m, but the winds really start to back off by 8 a.m, and then they'll continue to ease going into the early afternoon hours. we'll hang on to the mild weather, though, for the afternoon. look at how mild it is because of the winds. right now, temperatures are in the 50s and the 60s. a live view from sutro tower. it is also a bouncy view through tomorrow morning. windy weather continues along the coast. the dangerous beach conditions. even though that beach hazard statement has expired the rest of the workweek, we are looking at mild to warm conditions and sunny weather. so going into tomorrow morning we start off with 40s and 50s. quickly those temperatures rise with the downsloping or offshore winds. so we're talking about low to upper 60

winds out of the northeast at 33mph at mount saint helena, at times gusts above 50. so the peak of our wind will be just before sunrise tomorrow morning. easterly wind at times into places like santa rosa and napa for the morning. and then as we head towards the afternoon, those wind speeds should start to come down a bit. so overall, monday's forecast kind of like the weather we had on saturday. briefly gusty into tomorrow morning, including around san francisco and half moon bay and the east bay hills, and then less wind as we head towards the rest of the afternoon. chilly start though. bundle up if you don't have the wind. you may be waking up to those 30s, but temperatures do rebound pretty nily as we head through the afternoon. as you can see, numbers in the low to mid 60s, bayside and mid 60s again closer to san jose. so it's very dry and breezy around the bay area at a time of year. normally this is peak of our rainfall season. we usually have the jet stream racing across the west coast instead over the last week and a half, and likely for at least another wee

mount saint helena up to 60. mount diablo 53.verywhere else, it's five to about 25mph here in the bay area. i've got more checks coming up in just a few minutes. okay. thank you very much. well, you heard jess. jeff mention it right now. this wind is like anything a lot of people in socal have ever seen. that includes the firefighters to nbc's robert kovacik caught up with an l.a. fire captain who is leading this very difficult charge tonight. i got to ask you, first of all, friend to friend, how do you put this fire in all of our years of experience, one of the most challenging due to the most powerful winds that i can really remember. unfortunately, this spotted so quick in so many directions that we have to just move to evacuating people out of the way. it's simply impossible for us to completely stop the fire when it's this bad of winds. but you got to admit, man, this is one scary, scary day in southern california. this is one of the worst wind driven fires i've had the privilege of being on. you heard them. they're one of t

mount diablo, still currently at 42mph and 65 at mount saint helena. and we're going to have another warm day already mild this morning and breezy sunshine and temperatures headed for the mid 60s today and about the same tomorrow, maybe even a lot more upper 60s and a few low 70s santa rosa tomorrow afternoon. headed for 71 degrees and 68 degrees in hayward. keeping in mind that normally we're in the upper 50s, so this is well above what we typically see, and it's still going to be very warm on friday and into the weekend. as far as when we could get some rain. it's going to be a while, and there's one chance of rain toward the end of next week, and it doesn't even look like a significant storm. it's a very quick moving system that's in and out of here as we go toward the middle of theeek and temperature wise and in inland spotlight gilroy, we're going to have some pretty mild weather that continues throughout the weekend as well as into early next week. highs in the low 60s with a lot of sunshine. in fact, really nothing but sunshine in this forecast

and back home you can see the camera shaking from mount tam.in hayward and 57 half moon bay from our roof. camera 724 that sunrise. look at the 30s though from santa rosa, petaluma. so without the wind you have a wind chill factor. it is chilly and the winds are getting lighter, but still quite elevated from the eastern foothills to mount aluminum, where they're gusting over 30, even 40 miles an hour and at the surface, lighter still, but the direction is dry. the dew points, they're down to 20 degrees, maybe. so we're looking at those winds out of the north, exacerbating the dry conditions despite, you know, our good rainy season for parts of the bay area. here's a look at the winds as they continue to lighten up throughout the day. they're still elevated 20 to 25 miles an hour. and then we're going to see another round of offshore winds, just like southern california. as we get into monday morning into monday afternoon. no advisory yet, but look at that half moon bay gust of 43 miles an hour, and then they will ease up a bit. also, looking at

mount amana pretty much all morning long with the 30 and 40 mile an hour gusts in the north bay about 20 to 25 in our east bay. and you can see the camera shaking a bit. it is 55, in san francisco and san jose with mount tam 34 mile an hour wind gusts and mid 40s in concord with 50s elsewhere. so that wind is mixing and warming the atmosphere for a day today with above average temperatures. so we are sunny, we're dry, we're going to get drier. and the outlook for rain doesn't look promising here at home either. stephanie. >> all right liz. thank you. well another long night for thousands of firefighters working to contain five different fires in southern california. we're seeing more dramatic images come in this morning. and the chaotic rush to evacuate in several communities. and there's new information from a media briefing that just wrapped up moments ago. overnight, new flare ups in the palisades fire forced a new round of evacuations. that fire has burned just under 22,000 acres. that's larger than the size of san francisco. this morning, it's only 11% contained. more than 400 ho
