shooting. the little girl is still in the hospital. we have the reporter who is in oakland and you were the only reporter to speak to the family, velena jones. what have you learned? >> she just underwent two surgeries, the first one on monday, and a second one that lasted over seven hours there. is significant internal damage to her organs and the doctors are working on trying to fix that in which her intestine which just needed yesterday, and the doctors are looking at how long the recovery will need and possibly another surgery that may be on the way. >> what were they doing when the

shooting happened? they were driving home or coming home from dinner or something like that? what did the father tell you? >> yes, they were driving home from laundromat and something that people do everyday. the father jose said he started to hear the gun fire, and he tried to cover the two children in the backfire, because not only was little maya in the car seat, but his other 5-year-old daughter, and you can imagine the panic in the mind when all of this was happening. we have reported it, but just to reiterate that he didn't know that little maya had been shot when they got home, and this is when more panic set in, and they went to the fire department to try to get help, and eventually, she was transported to the hospital. >> and velena, were they

discouraged, because the violence in oakland is a daily discouraged and what are the thoughts of living in the city? >> well, you know, unfortunately, we know that it is not the only shooting that happened just this week, right? we have heard about plenty of shootings and homicides that have happened just within the past ten days. what jose is telling me is that this is completely altering his family life, and they don't feel safe, and they don't feel like even when they call the police, the police are getting there soon enough, and so he says that as soon as maya is out of the hospital, they have plans to move and relocate out of the city. he says that he no longer wants to raise his two daughters in the city of oakland. >> okay. thank you, veleta jones, we will have your full report at 6:00. a turn to the record heat, and one of the hottest spots in the bay area as wehave vianey

is tracking it and this is expected to be one of the warmest days. >> yes, and we nearly hit some of the record highs br u with e missed it -- highs, but we missed it today by a few degrees. in surrounding areas around san jose, we did get some readings in the 91, 92 mark. and if you notice right now, south of the airport, it is 90 degrees in san jose, and we are not full of, this vicky, just yet. some areas that nearly hit some record highs is the areas along concord and the tri valley and livermore and we will see the temperatures lingering today and tomorrow and through the stretch of saturday. right now, six degrees warmer, and this is because we have high pressure sitting over the bay area, and you can see it is there, and you can see the

marine layer taper off nicely but by tonight and early tomorrow, we will see the return of the marine layer for fog advisories as well, and tomorrow, we will have a closer look at the daytime highs and once again, some 90s on the map, and 70s on the coastline, and as we go to saturday, heading into the weekend, we will start to notice the temperatures cool off by a couple of degrees, and this is going to factor into some snow in the yosemite area, and there is a flood advisory in effect, and we will get a system and the approach bringing back a turn of the rain chances as we will have more details coming up at 5:00. >> as vianey just showed us, san jose was one of the hot spot, so we sent robert honda out there to show how they are dealing with the heat.

robert is dealing with the heat and i see that you are dealing with the shade, and how are other people dealing with it, robert? >> well, that is the basic thing that you can do first and foremost in dealing with the heat. a lot of people were taken by surprise. it is interesting when vianey is talking about how hard it is hitting today and cooling off today, and that is what took the people by surprise is that there was not a heat wave like three or four or five days coming up, and people were taken by surprise how fast it jumped today. you will see in the story, that we were over in the fountains at downtown san jose, and i was surprised how fast people reacted. it was crowded there. and several school groups on tours, and they had strategy they could resort to by detouring to the fountains, and people had a surprise reaction to how fast the heat came on

them. >> i can see one person with an umbrella to keep away from the sun. are local agencies responding to it or, because it is so short, they won't kick anything in high area? >> well, they are kicking out the alerts and the fountains are a reaction to the heat and the city does that, but right now, what they are doing is to issuing the warnings, because again, the key is not so much the temperatures of how fast it came on and this is really the first day and people are trying to make the transition, and getting taken by surprise and the warning of the vulnerable groups and young children, and seniors and people with the respiratory problems and the precautions, and not so long that they are going to be treated with a heat effect, and they will be setting up cooling centers into the 90s, anded that i need three consecutive days of 93 degrees before they activate the cooling centers, and right

now, most of us are still on our own. >> what about today? did you ask people what they think? are they tired of the rain and they can't wait for the heat or hold off, because i can't hold off until spring and i can't wait or the higher temps? >> welk they were happy for the rain to stop, and everybody was expressing the fact that they hoped that solved the drought, because they did not want the rain to go away until that was taken care of, but people said that they were ready for warmer weather, but not hot weather, and so to jump into the lower 80s, that is not what they were looking for, but not the low 90, but that is what they got. so it is mixed feelings about the heat wave and the spike. >> okay. oneer two days, and it is gone. robert handa, we will see you at 6:00. and the weather alerts can

be sent your smartphone and you can customize it for your phone, and so make sure that you download the app on your smartphones. and a fire triggered a voltage fire, and one of the problems ear ises financial district where crews are out to help direct traffic. pg&e said they were notify that underground equipment were damaged, and they have not cited a cause. san francisco fire said that the issue was a volt fire that spread. at the peak nearly 10,000 customers were affected. today, down the 5,000 customers burk pg&e says that the customers may not be restored until this weekend. one small business owner says that the wait is maddening. >> it is super frustrating, because they said around noon

united states, and then further inland, i selected san jose to give you a look at how they warmed two degrees since 1970. so we wanted to take a closer look inching closer to summer. there are a lot of impacts for this as the freezer is coming closer, and we reached out to somebody at the national weather service to tell us what we are dealing with. >> when you are starting to talk about climate versus weather, the main difference is time. we are looking at the climate, and we are looking at the large chunks of time to get an idea of what you can expect whereas for the weather, it can change so much quicker, and that where you will get the phrase of climate is what you expect, and weather is what you get. so it is the summertime that is coming up, and the idea of having another really hot potential coup of days close to a week, it is there in the

summertime, but the specific is how the atmosphere continues to develop and change in the day. >> checking out the microweather which breaks down the sectors. notice in california transport is highest up 41%, and some of the solutions have been reducing the demand and also, the higher push for electric vehicles as well, and making the walkable cities is a key factor, and the long game is reducing the greenhouse gas emissionons. jajanelle, bacack to you.u. >> thahank you, vianey. >> why do y you selfie? maybe it isis not the vanity, a capture the deeper meaning of the event and rather than the capture o your face and self the stu cities say that third-person people want to capture ther meaning.
