don't have a good handle around exactly what those dangers of ai are certainly not enough to be able to develop a regulatory framework for it. that petition originated at the future of life institute, which says its mission is to steer transformative technologies away from large scale risk and towards benefiting life. the petition is directed at developers of ai after more people became aware of chat, but technology experts are sounding the alarm on chat gpt. the artificial intelligence software can generate human like images or code. in a matter of seconds. and they say that poses a security risk because criminals can now use chat gpt to develop malware and cyberattacks in record time. there's also the fear about a i programs complete , creating completely fake videos and photos of real people called deepfakes. some experts are going so far as to call for a temporary pause to a i experiments and developments. until more safety checks are in

live with a look at what the kids will learn on a big trip to hawaii and the partnership that was able to make it all happen. and as the weather is died down , we're getting the latest data on snow levels up in the sierra . we're sitting down with the u. c berkeley snow lab specialists talk about the significant rise in our snow levels. from ktvu. fox two news this morning's onto . good morning, bay area, boy. nice start to, uh, sunday. beautiful shot high above looking at the golden gate and the marin headlands and beyond up there in marin county on what looks like a pretty good start to a sunday and if it's anything like saturday, i think we're going to get a lot of okay out there in a big way. welcome back to ktvu mornings on two. i'm frank mallicoat erasmus. and this morning when i went outside there was a little bit of the pavement was a little bit wet. so you mentioned there was some

overnight sprinkling done yet, right? no i saw some sprinkles on my cars as i was leaving out as well. and yes, another day of a bit of unsettled weather will call for partly cloudy conditions and seasonably cool temperatures a very slight chance that a few scattered showers. and for the afternoon, perhaps a bit of a breeze. we're seeing a little bit of a breeze out there this morning, and temperatures are warmer out the gate. better details on the current conditions, the rest of today and the warmer weather coming our way coming up like the sound of that. okay, thank you. rosemary happening today. some east bay middle school students are on the first steps of a trip that they will never forget. ktvu james taurus joins us live and says the spring break trip. is a gift to the young travelers. and what a trip it will be. james. good morning. frank good morning to you. we are standing just outside of west oakland middle school this morning in college trip in called a vacation with people who are putting it together. say it's a lot more than that. joining me this morning is mr

scott tatelman. you are the co founder of st bags, one of the many partners putting all this together. tell me what's this all about? it's about the gift of travel. a lot of families just get on an airplane and they go somewhere and they see new places and meet new people and taste new things. and a lot of families can't get that opportunity, and we just felt really strongly that you know if we could help provide that, then we would and we started this last summer, and it was incredible. and we just wanted to keep it going. i'm new to california. so working in oakland is a dream and working with these kids is exciting. there's a lot of excitement right now. these kids are pumped. i'm sure with excitement that comes some anxiety. i mean, if you had asked my parents when i was in middle school if we can go on a trip to hawaii, little nervous about sending their young kid to a foreign space. so how do you kind of get through that anxiety with some parents? and maybe some of the kids too? well, a lot of parents already are upset at me because their kids are beating them to hawaii. they haven't been in hawaii, so their kids are getting to hawaii

before them, but, you know, it's just about embracing the experience. part of travel is feeling like you're out of your comfort zone and feeling nervous . there's a lot of kids who have never been on a plane before that are taking off of the first time ever this morning. so yeah , you just kind of have to understand that this is part of it, and this is part of growing and kind of feeling like, wow, i'm going to be really far from home and from my family, and you know, that's why we do this is to get kids really understanding that you know there is a world outside of this neighborhood and their neighborhoods and, you know, travels is a beautiful, magical thing. and that's what this whole thing is about. what's the plan for when you all are there? what are you hoping they actually get exposed to? what are you hoping they walk away with after this trip is done. a little bit of a broader sense of themselves more confidence, you know, going into the summer ending the school year, as well as a real deep understanding of the hawaiian culture. we're putting a lot of emphasis on making sure they understand the history of hawaii. um going to incredible

places. obviously like the places you think pearl harbor, etcetera, but we want this to be sightseeing, but we also want this to be soul searching and soul building, which is what the trip was last year for eight brooklyn kids that came to california for an eight day trip. um so i just, you know, we saw a lot of growth in real time last summer, and i think we're going to see that already, even just this morning, seeing them kind of coming here and like hugging their parents and feeling nervous. like you already see they're going to. they're going to come back different kids, which is the goal to leave him some swag to right. of course, we got some state bags are partners, alaska airlines and puzzle international. we've got some fannie packs didn't have time to take it out of the packaging because i was rushed to this interview, but it's yeah, we're all very excited. it's going to be a great trip stuff, scott thank you so much. these guys will be bussing caravanning from here to sf over the next hour or so. they'll take off a little later this morning, scott, how long will they be there when we

all be there saturday, sunday to saturday, so for spring break in hawaii. aloha bad, right, guys. we live this morning in oakland. i'm james torres. ktvu fox two news. that sounds amazing. thank you, james. we're going from one climate extreme to another. there's no doubt this winter has been a historic one. with the amount of rain and snow we've had. in california in the sierra , the snow has piled up to record amounts here to talk about the latest snow totals. and what it means for our state is andrew schwartz, lead scientists and station manager at the uc berkeley snow lab at donner pass, andrew, thanks for being with us thanks for me on this morning. sure let's get right to it. just how historic is this year's snowpack in the sierra? how much do we have now? and how does it compare to previous years? well we've got plenty of snow pack throughout the state. in fact, it's one of the highest years that we've ever seen for average snow water equivalent of the amount of water that we have in the snowpack throughout the state. as far as the april 1st numbers , those should be coming out here, actually, uh, tomorrow and

that should give us an indication of just how much we actually have going into the summer. but this is looking like one of the better winters that we've had in recent years and throughout the history of the state, i was looking at some of the snow totals. this was about out a week ago at some of the resorts in the sierra and most of them have at least high 600 almost more than 700 inches of snow. how does that compare? when was the last time we had that much? uh well, you know, there's it really depends on the resort. to be honest, sometimes some of these places had that much going back to 2016 2017. others haven't had it happened ever so down in southern california. we see the biggest improvement overall in their snow conditions. they are much higher above average, almost approaching 300% of average down in the southern sierra. ah here in the central sierra. we're seeing anywhere from 200 to 250% of average conditions and then up north. it's a little bit lower from 150 to 200% so it

really depends on the area, but overall, it's looking just absolutely terrific throughout the state for people who haven't made the trip to the sierra recently, can you describe what that amount of snow actually looks like and how it's affecting daily life? for people who live in that area. yeah absolutely. you know, we see a lot of it built up on the side of the roads and berms were i know a lot of the snow clearing companies or having issues with with finding places to put it at this point, so actually, a lot of these berms are getting so high that they're starting to bury communications lines and power lines on power poles. and then we've also unfortunately seen some collapses of roofs due to just how how much weight there is on the structures up here, both businesses and homes alike. so while it's been terrific for things like skiing for recreation. it has come out a little bit of a price locally as far as as additional work with backbreaking snow shoveling and then make just making sure that we can clear everything that does fall. and then, of course, you have to worry and wonder about where is all this

snow going to go once it melts. how much of a concern or things like flooding and other issues related to that this spring. well they're definitely concerns , but a lot of that comes down to what our weather is going to look like. and, of course, that's really hard for us to figure out. we do have the potential for some above average temperatures here and a couple of weeks and that could be a little bit problematic. with snowpacks. these this large, it's likely to contribute to already existing flooding, especially in the valleys. um but we're really kind of hoping that that's mitigated by keeping conditions relatively average, if not below average. as far as our temperatures go, but we do expect to see some flooding come out of this, and hopefully it won't be too bad when it occurs , broken any records yet for the snowpack in the snowfall. uh here at the snow lab. we're officially in second place. ah we have 715 inches and we're just behind the winner of 1951 1952, which had 1812 inches of

snowfall, so we're not quite at that point yet, but we're definitely approaching it if we happen to get another 2 to 3 big storms, then we could be a number one. hmm yes, i was going to say that's not record breaking, but, wow, the most snow most of us have seen in our lifetimes. at least here in california. do we have an adequate way to store all this extra water in the state? once it does melt in case we have a dry winter next year or once it melts in the summer, we're starting from scratch again. no you know, our reservoirs have come up substantially and some many of them are going to continue to fill into the summer . one of the terrific things about when we go into late spring and early summer is that we worry less about flooding, which means that we don't have to necessarily do the water releases from the reservoirs that we ordinarily do to keep head space in there for wouldn't we do see conditions that could present flooding? so realistically speaking, we're going to have those reservoirs come up plenty. we're going to

see lake tahoe coming up a ton, and that should help store water if we do see dry years next year, but the key really comes down to conservation. yes, this is an amazing year, and it's brought us out of drought conditions throughout the state and really improved a lot of what we've seen as far as drought recently, but, uh, we're all too familiar with our dry years, so we need to make sure that we're using this water as efficiently as possible. all right, always. good advice andrew schwartz, lead scientists and station manager of the uc berkeley snow lab at donner pass . thanks for sharing your insight. let's hope the wet weather pattern continues next year, but maybe not to the extent of 17 atmospheric rivers , maybe just a little more well paced next year. i'll say thank you, andrew. thank you. you have a good one, too. time now is 7 40 in los angeles angeles third star basement. also a third baseman, anthony rendon, was back on the field at the oakland coliseum this weekend following a heated encounter with anais fan new video posted on social media is giving us a look at the

incident from a different vantage point. this happened in opening day on thursday, and a fan appears to heckle brendan and other angels players. as they're walking off the field. you can see rendon grabbing the fans shirt even looks like he's about to hit him. but even as fans appear divided on who is to blame here? you shouldn't reach out and grab a fan of the physical with him. come on. it's a really making the angels as an organization look bad, too, and baseball players in general, he's using vulgarity, especially in a family atmosphere. he should be kicked out of the game, and i was hoping that the coliseum would do that. brendan was surrounded by reporters during yesterday's game, but the angel star says he still can't comment on the incident. both oakland police and major league baseball are investigating what happened and they're still playing baseball. the a's and angels play the rubber game of that opening series this afternoon at 107 start at the coliseum yesterday. the angels route at the age 13 1, this was over in a hurry. taylor ward homer drove in four runs to

shouldn't be that many deaths, a alameda county has earmarked $50 million for mental health services. they'd like to see some of that money go towards housing and community based resources. john jeffrey barn adi so that another name is not added to their list of the dead that would expand the choice so that people don't have to be put into the jail when they could be diverted into other opportunities. jesse gary ktvu, fox two news 808 is the time and three small earthquakes were reported near the oakland stanley under a border yesterday very close to the oakland zoo, the first of the three on the hayward fault struck during mornings onto yesterday morning around 9 20 for a second quake struck just 20 minutes after that, and the last of the three happened just 15 seconds after the second quake, the largest of the three was a 3.2 magnitude. no one was injured and there were no reports of any damage. non profits and other agencies in the central coast area of poirot are teaming up to get flood victims help and emergency

the biggest improvement overall in their snow conditions. they are much higher above average, almost approaching 300% of average down in the southern sierra, uh, here in the central sierra. we're seeing anywhere from 200 to 250% of average conditions and then up north. it's a little bit lower from 150 to 200% so it really depends on the area, but overall, it's looking just absolutely terrific throughout the state. water experts say this is the result of 17 atmospheric rivers that have hit the sierra since december. updated snowpack totals are expected to be released sometime tomorrow. we'll researchers from uc davis have discovered a new parasite strain that has killed four sea otters off our coastline. the disease is called by the caused rather by the microscopic parasite. toxoplasma gandhi. i spoke with devin senate of uc davis's veterinary school, she says the parasite has been found worldwide, but particular strain is new to researchers, and it's

giants lasky for his take a lot of times. you hear a lot of rhubarb from the fans. you hear a lot of back talk, but you really don't react and you can see the angels walking by them. they were kind of stunned at the whole manner of what redon did. oakland police in major league baseball have both launched investigations, keeping rendon tight lipped before saturday's game. saying simply. i'm sorry. i can't comment. you shouldn't reach out and grab a fan of the physical with him. come on. it's really making the angels as an organization look bad, too, and baseball players in general. it's not the first time, the angel said a bench clearing brawl last season with the seattle mariners, and there's rendon seen in a cast, getting physical and earning him a five game suspension. fast forward to this weekend, as fans say there's plenty of blame to go around, including that fan who got rendon's attention, garrity , especially in a family atmosphere, he should be kicked out of the game, and i was

hoping that the coliseum wouldn't do that. i think it's inappropriate. absolutely but the players have to be thick skin there in this business, they know they're going to get heckled. they know they're gonna boot and all that other stuff. you just gotta keep walking and ignore it. and booed. rendon was during his first at bat. the heated encounter on many minds. there definitely needs to be a line of separation between the player and fan interaction, a line that was crossed and now a case of controversy. that's a hard way to exit the field. that's been a problem for many years. they just need to isolate that a little bit more with some police presence. for now, police and mlb are focused on this run in when brendan lost his cool in oakland, brooks jarocz ktvu, fox two news. meanwhile, the games do go on the a's will wrap their series against the angels this afternoon at the coliseum one oh, seven first pitch there. yesterday angels did a number on

such a zone that looked like a war zone, ultimately, the home on magnolia street ended up in the right hands after wedgwood sold the property to a community land trust. now the home is temporary housing, this man completely transformed into two units and that we're supporting to formally on house mothers and their children. it's called mom's house, a safe space for mothers and their children. drin financial training. we have credit repair. we're working on childcare. mom's house of village rooted in brasiliense welcomed brianna wallace and her young son. wallace became homeless after her grandmother died. i didn't have like that person who is going to like be there for me. and, like, really house me and shelter me and be my protector that was gone. and i'm sorry. i'm not trying to cry. but, um that was gone. wallace says. that's when reality hit is just being in a

since the beginning of the year. sheriff yesenia sanchez is committed to improving the quality of care, custody and control at the jail. she's invited county based organizations into the faculty to discuss their concerns. maurice monk is one of the 66 who died while in custody at the jail. it's still hard because he played a major part in my kid's life. so it's kind of hard not having him around to help me with my boys. tiffany monk says her brother suffered from schizophrenia following an altercation on an alameda county bus in 2021. he was arrested and wound up in santa rita shortly thereafter, the seemingly physically healthy monk was found dead in his cell. i want them to hold people accountable. and not just lie and say you're doing a job and you killing people family filed a lawsuit alleging he was denied adequate healthcare. the sheriff's office hasn't commented about their ongoing investigation into his death. advocates and community members say their grief is growing a movement to end the

practice of incarcerating the mentally ill or those with substance abuse problems. they should have been diverted. they should have been elsewhere. they should not have been incarcerated, incarcerated in santa rita jail and you put them into a prison system and actually, what it does. is it, uh, increases trauma that they have already had? it makes it worse, criminal justice professor william carbone says the failings are systemic and wide ranging reform is needed the court should have at its disposal the opportunity to evaluate people have clinical experts that can evaluate and get to the bottom of the mental illness. when we send them into prison, they're not going to get better. they only get worse. the family of maurice monk says other options could have prevented his death. it's hurtful, and it's like it shouldn't be that many deaths. alameda county has earmarked $50 million for mental health services. they'd like to see some of that money go towards housing and community based resources, john jeffrey barna t so that another name is not

added to their list of the dead that would expand the choice so that people don't have to be put into the jail when they could be diverted into other opportunities. ktvu fox two news . an update to a story we brought you as breaking news yesterday morning, three small earthquakes reported near the oakland san leandro border yesterday very close to the oakland zoo. the first of the three quake struck just before 9 30 yesterday. another hit 20 minutes later, and then the third earthquake hit just 15. seconds after that second quake now they were all minor. the three quakes were about 3.2 magnitude. no one was injured, and there was no reports of any damage. this is the time of year many people begin making their summer vacation. nation plans and palm springs tops travel. and leisure zen annual list of the most beautiful places to visit right here in california this year like tahoe, by the way, came in seventh place on the magazine's list. healdsburg in the heart of california's wine country that came in 15th

numbers move you. but some can stop you in your tracks. like the tens of thousands of people who were diagnosed with certain hpv-related cancers. for most people, hpv clears on its own. but for those who don't clear the virus, it can cause certain cancers. gardasil 9 is a vaccine given to adults through age 45 that can help protect against certain diseases caused by hpv. including cervical, vaginal, vulvar, anal, and certain head and neck cancers such as throat and back of mouth cancers, and genital warts. gardasil 9 doesn't protect everyone and does not treat cancer or hpv infection. your doctor may recommend screening for certain hpv-related cancers. women still need routine cervical cancer screenings. you shouldn't get gardasil 9 if you've had an allergic reaction to the vaccine, its ingredients, or are allergic to yeast. tell your doctor if you have a weakened immune system, are pregnant, or plan to be. the most common side effects include injection site reactions, headache, fever,

nausea, dizziness, tiredness, diarrhea, abdominal pain, and sore throat. fainting can also happen. help protect what counts. talk to your doctor or pharmacist about gardasil 9. ♪ alex! mateo, hey how's business? great. you know that loan has really worked wonders. that's what u.s. bank is for. and you're growing in california? -yup, socal, norcal... -monterey? -all day. -a branch in ventura? that's for sure-ah. atms in fresno? fres-yes. encinitas? yes, indeed-us. anaheim? big time. more guacamole? i'm on a roll-ay. how about you? i'm just visiting. u.s. bank. ranked #1 in customer satisfaction with retail banking in california by j.d. power. next on behind the series... let me tell you about the greatest roster ever assembled.

now, my friend, are you sick of it? i mean, come on. you've been shoveling since what october. i think up there you know, i don't know if i'm sick of it, but i'll tell you what it's been. you know, an arduous winter. we've been shoveling digging out a lot. resort team has been working hard, caltrans. we've been trying to keep it together up here, but it's just great for this year. great for the lake. great for all the tributary waters, the reservoir, so this is awesome. with the extended season. we're going to get a few more days in that we might have missed her and some of those larger systems, but it feels good. and you know, i am looking forward to spring. you know, a little bit there. yeah. hey, well, amen. that i think all of us here in the bay area can can relate. although we don't have snow on the ground, let's talk about what lies ahead. how important is spring break for the ski resorts of businesses? because we kind of blew through all the holidays in february and march with so much now, a lot of folks just said i'm not driving up 80 and 50 during this. so what? this is big time right now, right? absolutely frank

right now. they were lost, you know, essentially martin luther king weekend and presidents. we did make it up a little bit on the backside of, you know the kind of shoulders of each of those when the roads did open up, but this easter is going to be important for the ski resource. now they've geared up. they've announced they're, you know, extended seasons, but you know, easter week is a big week for them right now. now i don't think it's a big catch up week. i just think it's kind of like, let's just keep the status quo so they can keep open a little bit longer. if you remember last year we didn't have easter week. up here it was sunny 60 degrees. limited terrain. now you're looking at full operations at most all the resorts. they will curtail them a little bit before easter on the mid week, midweek days, maybe not opening up a backside or maybe one or two runs not being groomed, but they're looking forward to being full operations. this next round of you know, snow is just going to be a nice refresh for it and keep it at midwinter shape. so you are going to be coming up here. bring those extra layers up here still be prepared for mountain. challenging

conditions, but it looks like we might have this hit and then a break. for easter week. a little fresh powder on those groom slopes is always fun coupe. how about digging out our businesses and locals finally getting re acquainted with their driveways and some of the side streets around like tahoe? absolutely it's so nice and it's interesting. you brought that up . so we're now in the springtime rights. we have that sun hitting the snow. so we're seeing mouth off pretty quick. so when you're down around lake level, you're starting to see the ground again. people have been digging out their roofs digging out their garages. so yeah, a lot. a lot of work to get us back on track again and what a lot of people want to do in and around like town. you know whether your entire city truckee, south lake tahoe westshore is they want to dig those businesses out because what will happen is right after easter, even so the resorts are open. there's a big transition from winter. to springtime here, so we're going to want to get the bike trails open so people can come up that are more of spring traveler and they're not going to be bound by snow, so a

lot of work to do to get us up and running. but the cool part, frank, you're going to be able to ski in the morning, maybe water ski mid morning, maybe play tennis or golf my bike in the afternoon. it's gonna be game on this spring into summer. alright well, it doesn't take much to get me to tahu. but midseason skiing right now and that gorgeous gorgeous like i'm in, uh, coop will enjoy and yes , spring will be coming. we're going to ask rosemary went might arrive. hopefully sooner than later. take care, guys. we'll see you on the mountain. good stuff. so i posed that question . when will spring arrived? we are transitioning. it's going to be a very gradual one, but by next weekend it's going to feel like spring and a whole different way, right? we typically have a little bit of a struggle between feeling like winter and spring for the start of the season, and then we jump into some very nice weather, typically as we get into mid spring light spring, and there's

a beautiful view over berkeley, we have temperatures in the forties. this morning. we do have a breeze out there, so it does feel chilly right now we're mainly dry. we had a few scattered showers and push through yesterday and into the overnight hours. most of the energy remains to the north of us, but the sierra is going to get more snow later today and into the overnight hours within advisory for travel that begins at four o'clock. and goes until tomorrow morning. so if this is your place for the next 24 hours or so be prepared to snow is on the way. meanwhile, for us heyward reporting 14 mph wind we've got half moon by doing the same san jose nine in the hills, even a little windier mount diablo reporting 35 in the north bay big rock reporting 27. so breezy, brisk and seasonably cold weather with a slim chance of scattered showers for today. 49 san francisco 51 for you oakland into the afternoon low fifties along the coast upper fifties around the bay a few low

you, and it's not just a vacation, although that sounds pretty sweet, right spending a week in hawaii for that spring break all expenses paid trip. we're in sfl here. you see some of the set up at the gate, a big welcome banner welcoming the travel academy of 2023. that is what the program is called put together by alaska airlines and a company known as state status, this luggage company that really wants and cares to invest in community members, especially kids in the community as well. the kids right now all in the security line, making their way through to actually get up here to the gate, getting one step closer to starting that trip to hawaii. let's talk a little bit more about how their morning started. they all met at oakland west oakland middle score earlier today, saying goodbye to those parents, parents who were a little emotional, little anxious and nervous, too. as you can imagine, for a lot of these kids, this is their first time ever, leaving even the bay area the first time ever being on a plane. so for parents, they had a couple questions, which they say everyone involved was able to answer and by the end of the

day, they say, this was an opportunity that was just way too great to pass up on. i hope she takes away everything that everything has to offer the experience the flight. um the culture, the places visiting, um , being around an indigenous places and learn about the people. they're super talented, goodhearted people, and i want to tell you more about that travel company known as states. alright, they use their revenue to reinvest in the kids in the community. i mentioned the travel academy as well. it all started last year when its founders brought a group of students from new york to california. they say they basically changed the lives of those students here. so now they're doing that same thing here for a group of 12 students from oakland to hawaii. they say the trip is part of the company's travel academy aimed at giving students opportunities that they have never had before . this is part of growing andelm going to be really far from home and from my family, and you know, that's why we do this is to get kids really understanding

that you know there is a world outside of this neighborhood taking back live here from sfl. i actually think i see the group just a little bit in the distance here behind that pillar. they just got through security. remember for a lot of these kids, i think, actually, almost all of them. it's the first time even being at an airport going through security, so they're learning a lot. even just in the first few hours of getting the process of this rip started, so come here at the gate makes them cool special announcements. i think there are a lot of treats set up for them as well. and then they will embark on the trip set to be about a five hour flight. from here. over to there. they will spend a week where they'll learn a number of volunteer opportunities, of course about the culture and history of hawaii as well, spending time at both oahu and maui and then a week later, they say that they will have a whole new experience. that they will carry with them for the rest of their lives just have to come back to oakland next week. we're live this morning from sfl. i'm james torres ktvu. box two news. nice job. james went a thrill for those kids. honest some some very difficult news. at least 26

people are dead. dozens more have been injured following that massive storm system that moved right across the south and midwest on friday afternoon. the areas hit hardest by tornadoes is in arkansas. that's where we find fox's medicine. scarpino madison. tell us what you're seeing there and just the extent of the damage. olli frank fix tent of the damage here in the small city of wynne. arkansas is quite unbelievable. and right now you guys are just seeing a small small picture of the damage currently outside of a church here in when, of course, it's palm sunday. we got easter next weekend, so this devastating deadly tornado could not have hit at a worse time for people celebrating that holiday. and i want to just kind of give you a closer look at all of this. these are thick, heavy bricks that were completely knocked off of the building. you can see this car absolutely crushed from it, and i got to say this building is a whole lot

more in place than some of the other houses here. i mean, we're seeing houses completely leveled. true trees just completely uprooted as well. and i want to give you a look. across the street. now all of those people helping to clean up debris, and i got to say guys through all of the destruction, all of the damage. the silver lining is we have seen volunteers out here constantly from the minute that the sun comes out, whether it's people helping to clear out debris like you see right now, just offering water food. i can't even tell you the amount of times that volunteers came up to our crew and asked us if we needed anything. so that goes to show you what a small, tight knit community community this is an actually just about a half hour ago, was speaking to a man who is helping clean out his aunt's yard. and it was a duplex and he was actually a part of the search and rescue efforts when that tornado hit in the evening friday, he says that he found a man completely pinned under his couch. he had been there for six

hours. thankfully, he's okay. but that's not the case for everyone. he actually talked about having to retrieve some deceased people. and of course, we know that four of those deaths happened right here in the city of when, but his biggest concern is that there's still people missing, so we're just going to have to wait and see. and fortunately we're probably going to get some bad news when it comes to that death toll, not just here and win, but all of the tornado devastated areas across the south and midwest. frank madison, i was kind of watching it. all this transpire working on friday, and they popped up everywhere. iowa, illinois. there in arkansas and other areas did did they have much morning? the people in that area? so everyone that you speak to, at least in this area. they're kind of prepared for tornadoes. not to say that this type of damages anything that a lot of people have experienced, but they know to listen to their meteorologists, listen to the radio and really get prepared a

lot of the people that we spoke to here credit their lives to get into that safe spot and their home, you'll see houses where the middle part is completely intact. but yet the walls ripped off the building, so if they were not to be hunkered down in their safe spot, things could have been a lot different for a lot of families. but as far as getting a notification, they didn't know it was coming. a lot of people went to their safe space, and that's why they're alive today, but unfortunately we know that this coming tuesday this area is expected to have some more severe weather so hopefully, it's not just one hit after another here, madison. what time of day did it happen? you know, talking about people getting enough notice was this during the overnight hours when people were sleeping, and also do we know is this one tornado that did all that damage behind you? or just a cluster of storms in the area and how strong were they? well we know that the tornado on friday happened during broad daylight, and that's not very typical when it comes to tornadoes that cause this much damage, and, of

course, that makes it difficult when it's dark out to really see the extent of the destruction. but like i said, daylight, i think it was around four or five pm in the evening here, and when people were prepared people were going door to door reminding their neighbors. hey, get to your safe spot. hey, get to a basement. but we're still trying to learn exactly the extent of these storms that came through. i believe here and when it was just one tornado that caused all of this any idea how strong it was. i know there's a system for rating the strength of tornadoes. we do not have confirmation as far as far as if it was an e two or e three tornado. um i'm sorry. we it is an e three tornado that caused this damage in the then of course, the week before that same thing happened over in mississippi and like i mentioned more severe weather on the way. hopefully if that is the case, not as strong as this one. the president was in mississippi on

now at their highest rates and more than 40 years, breaking previous record set back in 1982. in the last hour. i spoke with andrew schwartz, lead scientists at uc berkeley's central sierra snow lab at donner pass, he talked about the incredible snowpack totals. down in southern california. we see the biggest improvement overall in their snow conditions. they are much higher above average, almost approaching 300% of average down in the southern sierra. here in the central sierra. we're seeing anywhere from 200 to 250% of average conditions and then up north. it's a little bit lower from 150 to 200% so it really depends on the area, but overall, it's looking just absolutely terrific throughout the state. water experts say this is all because of the 17 atmospheric rivers that we have hit the sierra since december. updated snowpack totals expected to be released sometime tomorrow, and maybe just maybe a little bit more up there. i guess it dusty in a couple of inches, maybe more up

to eight inches, frank. yeah, tonight into tomorrow, so much sorrow that there is an advisory for travel. show you that here in just a moment outside our doors. we have partly cloudy skies of cold start to the day and a bit of a breeze as well as we take a look at the east bay shore aquatic park area, the east bay shore in the low fifties, right now upper forties in san francisco in the north bay, 49 over santa rosa as we shift along the peninsula 52 for you, atherton. we've got 49 also sent into the santa cruz area. scotts valley also reporting 49 . so a bit of a chill in the air not quite as cold as yesterday morning, but the winds not helping us out. it doesn't really feel nice out there. i'm sure oakland reporting 13 conquered 13 napa 13 mph fairfield 16 so breezy conditions. partly cloudy and seasonably cool a very slim chance at a few scattered showers as we remain on the southern edge of the action going on in the north. we do have the sierra dry at the moment that will change and

and it's believed to be new to california. the rare strain appears to be capable of rapidly killing healthy adult otters and can be transmitted to other mammals. toxoplasma can infect humans. this particular strain has not been reported from humans to date, but there is the potential for transmission to humans. um so you know, in the same way that sea otters could potentially get infected from shellfish consuming raw bivalve shellfish could potentially be around out of infection for humans. she does recommend thoroughly cooking any seafood products, according to health guidelines, fish and wildlife officials say infections of this rare parasite might give someone in flames systematic fat deposits in sea otters or other marine wildlife as well. rangers had an east bay park want to extend some road closures in order to protect tiny amphibians at tilden park. every winter

newts emerge from their seasonal slumber in the east bay hills, they head out in search of water near tilden regional park. for their mating season. that's why the east bay regional parks district closes some of the roads from november to april, in order to protect the small, slow moving animals from cars. this year's rainy weather, though, has extended the newts usual migration period, which may extend some of those road closures. the consumer product safety commission is calling out recalling thousands of plastic swings for young children. the reports that the restraint straps on those swings can break causing babies and toddlers to fall out the plastic swings and recall have mickey mouse, minnie mouse and pop patrol images on them. they are marketed for kids ages nine months through four years old. more than 43,000 of these swings were sold at walmart. now the good news is there's no reports of any deaths or serious injuries. you can contact the company delta enterprise for new straps free of charge. all right time now, a week from today, give or take maybe 70 degrees couldn't be.

yes yes, yes, yes. we want it away. for today, though we are going to have to settle with mainly dry conditions and temperatures a bit cool and breezy as well. giving you what? you look here over the east bay shore where it's a pretty day. but if you're getting out for breakfast or brunch, maybe a hike a bike ride, test the water, so to speak. the winds are kicking up in our temperatures are still running. cool 49, santa rosa, as well as livermore, san jose checking in at 51 52 for san francisco. partly cloudy skies overhead leave again slight possibility of a few scattered showers. most of it will remain to the north of us, but the sierra as we've been talking about expected to pick up some snow, and with that there is a travel advisory that begins at four o'clock this after afternoon. for us. we've got a breeze out there. already many areas reporting anywhere from 5 to 15 mph. and then as we get into the afternoon, do expect them to pick up with widespread winds anywhere from

15 to 20 mph even seeing 25 mph, maybe close to 30 and some of our hills closer to the coast. so for today, we're going to call for unseasonably cool weather breezy conditions with a slim chance that we may have a sprinkle overhead 56 francisco for the afternoon today upper fifties in redwood city. and into the inner east based 60 degrees conquered upper fifties in napa, your extended forecast here notice monday. not better, a little worse temperatures in the upper fifties, the windy conditions expected to continue . maybe even pick up a little bit more will be watching for advisories. although right now it doesn't look like it into tuesday. the winds calm down. temperatures do come up just slightly, and then wednesday thursday, even a little bit better. partly cloudy skies dry conditions models again indicating as we get into next weekend going above the seasonal norm. and perhaps seventies in our forecast for the afternoons back to you. shouldn't reach out and grab a fan of the physical

make a career out of firefighting. the santa clara county fire department partnered with a group called nor cal women in the fire service to teach teenage girls about firefighting. they showed students how power tools, hoses and ladders are used on the job. i think for them, they really wonder if they can do it. and when they come out here, they realized how fun it actually is to do things that maybe they never thought they could do or where possible. more than 100 firefighters from 20 different departments across northern california helped to teach those teens some very valuable hands on experience. time capsule buried by san francisco boy scouts 90 years ago was finally opened. the mayor london breed some other community leaders on earth. the capsule buried at the foot of mount davidson's cross yesterday. it sits atop the city's highest peak. now some of the items discovered in the 1933 bucks included a bible, a telephone directory and a number

of chronicle newspapers. the newspapers will be really, really, um, interesting. i just thought headline runaway girls navy romance. i mean, just you can't you can't make that up. apparently a big story 90 years ago, a new time capsule was buried in his place by local boy scouts. once again, it includes an iphone face masks and in armenian bible, imagine unearthing a iphone and 100 years. i mean, it wouldn't it's not like the battery is going to last that long. i wonder if they had whether some weather reports in that old 90 year old san francisco chronicle paper interesting to see yeah, climatology in there. of course, that'd be very cool. meanwhile what's going on today? yes we've got another unsettled weather day meeting a cool, breezy and a slight chance for scattered showers. no reason to cancel your plans. just bundle up, get out and enjoy the sunshine tomorrow, even windier, and then
