now at 11:00, a violent attack caught on camera might be just the tip of the iceberg. >> it's a problem that they've allowed to exist. >> why people in one bay area neighborhood feel they've been forced to live with constant crime. plus, a massive 7.4 earthquake shakes taiwan. why an expert says the bay area should be prepared for something worse if a quake that size were to happen here. and she isn't just putting their money. from kpix, this is the late news with sara donchey on cbs news bay area. >> hello, i'm sara donchey. tonight a massive 7.4 earthquake has struck taiwan. this is the strongest to hit the country in almost three decades. so far we know four people have died there and we're seeing some really scary images of the damage left behind. a reminder for those of

us here in the bay area about the threats we face at any given moment. this is where it struck, the less populated side of the island. at least 50 people have been hurt so far. firefighters have been rescuing people trapped in their tilting apartment buildings, helping people escape through windows. and to make matters worse, the island has been hit with dozens of aftershock, over 70 of them, in the course of five hours. this has happened to me before as an anchor. one woman was anchoring a live show in taiwan when the shaking hit, and how she handled it was pretty impressive >> [ speaking . [ speaking in a global language ] >> she just stood her ground, kept the broadcast going, didn't seem phased at all, even though things were crashing around here in the studio, but obviously, there's big concern about the overhead lights in a situation like

that. here's what the shaking looked like from inside the newsroom. the ceiling lights were swinging around. and that's what it looked like inside of a home in new taipei city, and it looked like things were falling off the bookshelf at one point it looked like it was going to come toppling down. all of that shaking even caused a landslide, which people saw from a moving train. a fire department says landslides completely blocked off a major highway, and this was the moment that a lake was shaking in the quake. the quake is putting people on high alert for tsunamis. several small tsunamis hit parts of southern japan and the philippines. people were advised to move inland or evacuate to higher ground. warnings were lifted or downgraded to advisories. cal oes says there is no threat here on the west coast. for more about the specifics and the science of the quake itself, let's bring in meteorologist darren peck. >> a couple ways to visualize

this, sara, which i think might better wrap our minds around what happened. you see where the epicenter is in taiwan? you're looking at a shaking intensity map. and the areas over near the key show you when you get into those reds it was very strong shaking, which makes sense. this was a 7.4. that is a very powerful earthquake. loma prieta was 6.9. in that sense, this one was stronger. but that one was only half as deep as this one was, and you have to balance those two. by the way, the video of those newsrooms is from taipei. taipei is 80 miles away from where the epicenter was, ands the shaded in green, which is still fairly significant shaking, but it wasn't the worst of it. here's more relatively good news for taiwan. all of the black dots show you where the population centers are. so in one sense, the populated side of the island is the other side. but there is a city that was right next to the epicenter of this. and when you look at

this map which helps to visualize one other similarity that taiwan has in terms of its risks from earthquake, this shows you where the liquefaction zones are. and there's one that goes right near the epicenter of this earthquake and right under that city. so there are some similarities. there are some differences. we wanted to find out a little more about the comparison between our risks here, so we talked to the usgs earlier today about that very thing. we wanted to know what kinds of things about this earthquake is a little bit different from what we might experience here in the bay area. >> this 7.4 when you look at it from a global point of view will have been less damaging than a similar earthquake would be of the same magnitude in the bay area. this earthquake was deep, and the earthquakes in the bay area are unfortunately shallow and sliding faults

right along the, you know, the east bay and on the san andreas. so these are earthquakes that have a high potential for damage. >> ours do. the average for us here in the bay area is an earthquake that's about 10 miles deep. this one was 20 miles deep. and that did help taiwan a great deal in this one. i'll be back with more on our forecast coming up in a bit, but first for now, sara, you've got more coverage on this. >> darren, thank you so much. there is a large taiwanese population in the bay area, of course, but also around the state of california. we talked to people in southern california who frantically checked in with relatives tonight. >> reporter: the epicenter of the massive earthquake may be thousands of miles away, but it has shaken taiwanese american locals near the san gabriel valley, with family and friends still there. >> we're in shock, you know. just because you are scared of the earthquake is tremendous. and the -- i came from taiwan,

so we understand that the taiwan is in the earthquake zone but personally, i never experienced earthquake in taiwan during my lifetime there in this scale. >> reporter: we video called his brother, who still lives in taiwan, asking him about the moment it happened. >> it's shaking, and the house and the building is kind of new, so it's kind of solid. but it's moving like crazy. >> reporter: sally chang, a taiwanese reporter working here in the u.s., shared these videos her family there took, showing damage for block, structures crumbling, buildings leaning so far over it seems they will soon fall. she say she was on the phone with her mom when it hit. >> my mom was so scared. my mom was even crying. and then i told to her hide under the table. my sister actually lived right over there. she was like talking to me just now, and then she was saying that even the highway over there crushed. and she was so shocked. and her

kid was in shock too. >> well, back here in the bay area, we had our own earthquake today. it wasn't anywhere near as bad as what happened in taiwan, of course, but people felt shaking in the north bay. a 3.2 quake around 8:25 p.m. tonight. people only reported feeling light shaking around the area. no injuries or damage has been reported so far. we're seeing some reaction online. benji posted i was listening to an earth moving live recording of a chase center show. when the house started shaking i thought, this is bigger than the boss. a violent attack in the middle of a san francisco neighborhood. residents say they are not surprised. >> they seem to accept it and we're suffering. >> why some say efforts to crack down on sex work and other crimes in the neighborhood are just causing the problem to move closer to others. and people are mad for -- at caitlin clark, the star smashing records, bringing a huge amount of attention to the women's final four.

and why would fish need a doorbell? >> oh, he's a monster. let's go. be free, buddy. >> how people are helping fish migrate from their couches. tonight. >> sit primary day, which is why all around new

now to san francisco where video of a brutal attack in the middle of the mission district is getting a lot of attention online. a homeless person was beaten in the street by a half clothed woman. the person who shot this video and all of this told us tonight this attack stems from a larger and more

frequent problem. we've been following the city's efforts to crack down on sex work in the mission for over a year now. they even installed concrete barriers on cap street to keep johns away, but neighbors tell kenny choi the problem is just moving from one street to another. >> reporter: residents say they're being left hanging out to dry. they believe city officials could do more to address a problem they say is being ignored because of where they live. a woman who asked to be identified as jane, fearing retaliation, is speaking out. >> as she was sitting on top of this woman, and she was beating her, hitting her in the head and the chest very hard and screaming. >> reporter: jane captured this video of a suspected sex worker on shotwell street near 21st repeatedly striking a homeless woman last saturday afternoon. she believes city leaders aren't listening. >> it's a problem that they've allowed to exist, and they seem

to accept it and we're suffering. >> reporter: residents say prostitution and lawlessness have spiked and entered their neighborhood after the city made it more difficult for cars to enter cap street, where soliciting of sex workers became problematic last year. >> i saw, apparently, a woman thrown out of a car. i've seen women fighting. but i haven't seen anybody really being beaten on like that, like sat on and kicked in the face. >> reporter: what do you want to see happen? >> i want to see enforcement. >> reporter: district nine board of supervisor candidate trevor chandler has been highlighting the issue for residents in the mission. >> i'm not surprised, but i am horrified by it, because the neighbors have been talking about this for years. and they feel like they've gotten no response. >> reporter: chandler is calling for at least one police officer to patrol the street regularly and the immediate installation of license plate readers to deter sex workers and johns. >> i'm one of the only candidates that supports a fully staffed police department, and it's not because i think it solves our

problems, but it does allow our city to address these issues. >> reporter: police arrested a 24-year-old from fairfield into jail for aggravated assault, but jane believes more can be done. >> they're not enforcing the law near the way they perhaps do in some other neighborhoods. >> reporter: she and neighbors hope this latest incident will spur enforcement by the city. >> san francisco police say the victim in that video was taken to the hospital but is expected to be okay. all right, let's turn to weather right now. we have a lot to talk about. we have some changes down the line in the forecast, but for today a lot of us enjoyed beautiful, sunny weather out there, darren. >> i know. it's a shame to have to say good-bye to, that but things are already starting to change, sara. we're not doing sunny and mid-70s again until like the middle of next week. there's a significant cooldown coming. and look behind me, a live look at the marine layer streaming into the immediate bay. it's filled in

much of the interior valley in sonoma county through the petaluma gap. let's bring up the futurecast image troy show you what's going on here. onshore, look at the clouds in the north bay. watch what happens for tomorrow morning. we're going to wake up tomorrow, and it's going to be marine layer gray pretty much for everybody. in that sense it's almost like an early preview of may gray. what this is is the start of a stronger onshore flow that's getting boefed up from an approaching storm. there's a couple of other ways we're going to notice this tomorrow, so tomorrow, not the beautiful clear, blue sky. it's gray in the morning and then higher clouds stream in over it. five degrees cooler tomorrow, so it's not a drastic drop in temperatures yet, but it's going to get windy through the afternoon and evening. watch what happens here. so if the onshore flow is pushing the clouds in now, tomorrow evening it gives us like a 20 to 30-mile-per-hour breeze. this is going to make it feel cooler because of the wind-chill factor near the water and in the city. but it's the real

cold air that's surging down from the gulf of alaska that makes the significant change. so you can see where we are here today. that was this afternoon with our 70s shaded in green. look at the cold surge that just shrinks down and envelopes us. in many ways, this is going to be significantly colder than normal for this time of year. it's -- for early april, this is a pretty impressive batch of cold air about to come our way. it does come along with some rain, and we're going to spend most of this forecast looking at that. but before i get to the rain, i think it's the colder temperatures that really make the bigger impact. so what we're going to look at here is the coldest, friday and saturday morning. granted, you're only in the 50s for daytime highs on thursday, but friday morning your lows are low 40s in the south bay. it'll be in the 30s in the tri-valley. let's go to the north bay, because this is where the real numbers start to

stand out. it's about to get noticeably cold. that is a 35-degree morning for santa rosa by thursday. you were in the mid-70s there today, and it's been that way for a while, so i think a lot of people are thinking, all right, we're kind of in cruise control spring, only we're not, we're about to go back into whiplash spring into winter. so in addition to the cold air, watch the system bring down some rain. we're going to look at this a couple of different ways. it's sitting right off the coast on thursday. we're going to watch it on the big picture first because i want you to see that the center of the storm shrinks down along the coast thursday and friday. it's like half off the coast. in other words, we're going to miss half of this storm. and it's going to be on again off again spotty showers. let's watch that again. we'll come in for a closer look and slow it down. so thursday morning the rain starts. but notice it's not the widespread wall of widespread, steady that comes in with a cold front. it's just not that. this is going to be just more on again off again scattered showers. all day thursday and into friday. way

more time in those two days when you're not getting rained on and you're even seeing blue sky, but the scattered showers are always out there as that system shrinks down the coast. we're just kind of getting an edge of it, and it's on again off again. every once in a while there could be thunderstorms mixed in with this. it's going to be cold, remember, so snow levels going to get down on to mount hamilton with this, down to about 3,000 feet. and on friday morning, it might even be cold enough if you're taking that drive from santa clara on, from 17, santa clara to santa cruz, there might even be flurries on that. doubt anything would accumulate, but it's cold enough for flurries to be in the air. so not a lot of rain. that's not really the big impact from this. we'll get maybe 0.25 of an inch of rain. it will snow in the sierra and snow down to 3,000 feet over there. so any travel will be difficult. it's not a blockbuster big accumulation, but it snows all the way down almost to like auburn. not big accumulations there, but this is really just so much more

fascinating in how abnormally cold it's going to get for the first week of april. so we'll put it into in the seven-day forecast. first off, we'll look at the bay, and we didn't talk about sunday yet because it's not a big deal, but there is a chance for a few light showers on sunday. it's a bummer we can't get rid of this all for an entire rain-free weekend. there's an entirely separate second system that comes in on sunday with a light chance of rain. more than anything else this just slows down the warm-up. there are warmer days coming back by the middle of next week, but we got to get past sunday. all right, sara, back over to you. sunday is a big deal to me, darren, but because we're not working. she once dreamed of going to the school that she's facing in the final four. the superstar hooper getting people historically hyped about the women's final four. vern? >> straight ahead in sports, the giants felt pretty good at the dodgers with ace logan webb at the start, but -- and we

don't get to say this very much, warrior a little home cooking against the hottest team in the league. - [narrator] at kpix, we're taking weather to the next level. - we can show not just what's happening at ground level, but we can show what's happening in the upper levels of the atmosphere. let's lift the clouds off of ground level and talk... - it really spotlights how unique the geography is here. - it's dynamic. it's different. as i lift this, you can actually see it in real-time. this is shaking it up for me as an meteorologist. - [narrator] the bay area's only virtual weather studio. next level weather. only on kpix and pix+.

here's the thing about the

warriors this season, if i don't watch the game coming into sports, i really never know. it's a mixed bag. anything goes. if you didn't see the game, you kind of at this point you don't really know what to expect with this were aggressive. the bench went wild. even in the non-steph curry minutes that he spent on the bench. they came in hot as texas asphalt. steph curry and klay thompson. watch the hustle of draymond green. strong rebound and he set up curry for another shot. and he didn't miss this time. part of a 16-2 twofolden state run that gave them a 49-36 lead. dallas tied the game scoring 13 straight points to end the half. then opening minute of the third, luka doncic didn't miss many of these. mavs yies a 23-22 run to go up eight. it's a series of runs. now, when curry and thompson were off, here came the bench. big story here, chris paul, he scored 14. dubs entered the third on a 19-6 run and took an 80-74 lead into the fourth. 7:30 to go. andrew wiggins, his runner made

it an 11-point game. wigs led golden state with 23. but dallas rallied to a two-point game. three minutes left. curry, no look, draymond green, and the mavs were called for goaltending, which made it a four-point game. back to daniel gafford. green had 11 point, 8 rebounds, 6 assists, 4 steals. the warriors bench outscored the mavericks 39-13 and snapped the mavericks seven-game win streak, 104-100 the final. dubs have now won five straight games. what does it mean? well, the rockets lost tonight, so golden state is three games up on houston for the final play-in tournament spot with seven games to go. warriors next game thursday at houston. they win that one, might have to call it. baseball. the giants traded former number two overall pick catcher joey bart to the pirates in exchange for a minor league pitcher. san francisco had dropped him from the 40-man

roster on sunday. then tonight, oh, rough one for logan webb against the dodgers. could not get out of the fourth inning. san francisco was up 2-1 top of the third. mookie betts took webb deep. already his fifth home run for the year. game was tied at 2-2. next inning, l.a. in front 3-2. kiké hernandez, that's a base hit to left. it scored two more. web lasted just 2 -- the a's are 1-5, they lost in 11 innings to the red sox, 5-4. the giants have just run into a buzz saw. they need to win tomorrow to avoid a sweep. kyle harrison is on the mound tomorrow. how good are the dodgers? they've scored five or more runs in each of their first eight games. they haven't done that since they

joined the national league in 1890. >> just a blink of an eye ago. >> yeah. all right, well, vern, more than 12 million people tuned in to watch one specific sporting event this week. >> that's a lot of eyeballs. >> and it wasn't the dubs. it wasn't the giants. it wasn't the dodger, no matter how good they look right now. it was ncaa women's hoop, that elite eight battle between iowa and lsu was the most watched clj basketball game ever on espn. women's pact phenom caitlin clark may have had something to do with that. ryan todd shows us why. >> reporter: they're on a roll like never before, superstar caitlin clark and her iowa hawkeyes team just advancing to the final four and shining a brighter spotlight on the game of women's basketball overall. clark, who's broken most of college basketball's scoring and three-point shooting records, defeated ls nu the elite eight round of the tournament. >> we don't want this to end. we want to keep coming back and

fighting for one more week. >> reporter: fans of women's basketball don't want this to end either. >> women's college basketball has never been this popular. it is a national sensation. every corner bar was watching iowa versus lsu. every college dorm room was watching iowa versus lsu. >> reporter: it's all placed enormous pressure on the 22-year-old senior from des moines. pressure that her coach says clark doesn't shrink from. >> when the stage is the brightest, when the spotlight is the brightest, she's at her very best. she loves this. you know, some people wither in the moment, she just gets stronger in the moment. when it's her time, i mean, she's going to just shine. >> reporter: according to axios, the cheapest ticket to the women's college basketball championship game this year is 61% more expensive than the cheapest ticket to the men's championship game. analysts say the spike in popularity is almost entirely due to clark and her rivalry with angel

reese. one of the most debated moments of last year's championship game was when reese made the you can't see me gesture to clark as lsu was closing out its victory over iowa for the title. reese spoke about what she's gone through since then. >> i've been through so much. i've seen so much. i've been attacked so many times. death threats. i've been sexualized. i've been threatened. i've been so many thing, and i've stood strong. >> let's be honest, there's a racial element as well. she's had to shoulder all of this ever since they won the national championship. any time you summon her name, it is just -- any time i even tweet something about her, the level of reaction, people calling her ghetto, a thug. >> reporter: this on the heels of the nba game when steph curry barely beat sabrina ionescu in a three-point shooting contest. >> expect more of that in the future. if it's steph versus caitlin clark, they might need

to hold it in a football stadium. >> caitlin clark and iowa take on yukon in the final four from cleveland on friday night. the women's national championship is set for sunday. if you are looking forward to summer music festival, ticket for outside lands go on sale in a couple hours. the festival comes back to golden gate park on august 8th through the 11th. no surprise, it's been the case for a while, it's expensive. a three-day general admission wristband will cost more than 400 bucks a pop. prices go all the way up to nearly $4,900 for the most exclusive packages. ticket sales start at 10:00 a.m., but there is a catch because the lineup hasn't been released yet. it's finally fish doorbell season again, which is the most wonderful time of the year. >> if you were sick of mindlessly scrolling social media on your phone, why not use that phone to ring a

this nex story might sound fishy, but i assure you it's a thing. viewers are tuning in to an underwater livestream meant to help fish get to warmer waters. you participate in their migration by ringing a doorbell. >> reporter: why would fish need a doorbell and who answers it? >> it's finally fish doorbell season again, which is the most wonderful time of the year. >> reporter: the fish cluster stuck at the most important

boat lock in the dutch city -- are they frisky fish? horny fish? what kind of fish are we talking here? >> you could describe them as horny fish. they've got one thing on their minds. >> reporter: the instinct to get up stream to shallow water to lay eggs and fertilize them, and that has spawned this livestreaming underwater camera. >> the thrill you get letting a fish through is unparalleled. >> reporter: every time someone clicks a photo is sent to the fish doorbell's creator, ecologist mark. when enough fish have gathered, mark asks the lock keeper to manually open the gates. this is actually a lot like real fishing. most of the time nothing happens. the screen is empty. but when you do see a fish, press the doorbell. those bulging eye, gaping mouths, mystery blobs, eels, viewers worldwide are addicted. as one

joked, quitting my day job to ring the fish doorbell full time. what's the weirdest thing you've ever seen on that camera that you weren't expecting to see? >> well, one time we saw a person. >> reporter: a guy jumped in just to wave at the camera. it used to be -- >> avon calling. >> reporter: -- now it's frisky fish, ding, ding, ding, dong, we have a winner. >> be free, buddy. >> way tonight know more about the man. >> whoa, that's a dude there. >> what was he doing? but anyway, i could kind of see how this might, you know, soothe the anxiety a little bit. because you know when you're scrolling it makes it worse. >> right. >> well, it's like fishing without a pole. yourself watching for a fish to arrive and then you hit the doorbell. >> low skill fo - lift the clouds off of... - virtual weather, only on kpix and pix+.
