7:17 am
earthquake > a magnitude of 6.7 happening sometimes on this 31 a. it is most likely to produce larger earthquakes in the bay area. >> mark: muesli earthquakes like this do you consider the car for the course or do you study them? >> will we do a study him. there are some big was that occurred up and down the fall. these are not unusual from what i know. >> mark: is there any science or data that these smaller earthquakes put pressure on the fault, or do we just not know? >> they are so small that they do not do a lot to reduce the hazard in the area. >> mark: what are the odds about the hayward fault as compared to the san jose? >> we think that hayward
7:18 am
will most likely produce a big one. san jose did not produce a big ones so far. the latest in hayward with 1858. it produced earthquake about every 160 years, so we are well the time that a live--large earthquake and not shocked us all. >> mark: not yet today we had the big earthquake in a week ago and this really seem strange. >> not so strange when you think about the timeline. the one on the east coast will attract attention and the nuclear power plant on the east coast are paying attention to that event. the one down in texas, there is some chance that that is related to induced size. it
7:19 am
may be related to felt activities pumping fluids into the ground. >> mark: thank you for your time. that was keith nussan with the usgs. >> darya: we want to get a look at our traffic this morning live george. >> george: now on the web 580--west 580 there are a few breaks in the back up. speed are below 25 mph for this entire stretch. take a look at the traffic maps you will see the road sensors indicate that it is heavier now that you are out of the off my past. in the altman, the speed have picked up because it will be a lighter day. now right through
7:20 am
livermore and heading out into dublin and pleasanton is jammed this morning. your drive time is running over 45 minutes from the 205 in a change to the dublin interchange. that is our hot spot with pretty good conditions almost everywhere else. here is a look at the bay bridge west bound. even though the metering lights have been on for over an hour now, this is the first back up that we have seen since the initial one that cleared out after about five minutes. your ride to the sand until bridge has been pretty good so far even though the volume is up so if the speed. now the golden gate bridge ride is still the end of an easy trip through marin county. no delays coming through sonoma county for 101 south bound. it is still a pretty easy ride headed towards the golden gate bridge. at 7:20 a.m., we want to take a look at the weather this
7:21 am
morning. >>james: we have saturday and sunday on the screen as you can see our temperatures increase with each day. we have sunny skies and in the temperatures in the upper eighties around the baby have upper '70's to almost 80 degrees and its '70s for the coast. so the cloud coverage of the day has become a little more organized in the last half hour. you can see this stretching as far to the east as livermore and as far south as san jose and morgan hill. is all clumped together we have over cast over the bay. visibility is down to a quarter mile so be careful about that. it is still cool in santa rosa and everywhere else we are in the '50s and '60s. we will
7:22 am
start to see someone morning but we will have to wait for the sun to come up. it broke the horizon about a few minutes ago. it will take a couple of hours to get some heating on the ground and to get our temperature to start responding. here is where we expect them to settle. oakland as 71 degrees, 73 in hayward and fremont. today we are looking for the flame forecast for the north bay, upper '70's and low 80s. downtown san francisco will probably be in the low '70s this afternoon and his you will enjoy partly to mostly sunny skies today. here is the weekend forecast that we talked about at the beginning. the seven day shows what we are expecting beyond that point in next week we are starting off at
7:23 am
a cooler note. >> we want to move on to the big story developing this morning. >> darya: in oakland they were told to leave the plaza near city hall where they were told to camp out. we are keeping an eye on what happened there. the city posted the order on the web site last night saying that after 10 days the city can no longer of hold public health and safety at its occupy oakland protest. the notice did not say what would happen if all the people that were demonstrating and camping out ignored the order. but on the web site they did talk about the problems they had with public urination, fire hazards, and a growing rat problem there. we're keeping an eye on what is happening in oakland as will the san jose where they did move large protesters this morning. >>justine: at the occupy
7:24 am
wall street movement we see people still camped out in new york city. people live near the protest are complaining about the noise and a mess. about 70 people showed up to a community board meeting last night voicing their concerns about the drumbeating that has been going on, about the hygiene issues and all the garbage and the disrespect for this they said that is coming from the occupied protesters. at the board meeting they came up with some resolutions including limiting the use of drums and m1 to only two hours during the day and putting a police barricade so that people that live there can get to work safely. you are watching the kron4 morning news and we will be right back.

7:29 am
7:32 am
>>james: good morning we have an earthquake tracker up and i want to take a look at the two major earthquakes that we fell yesterday. the size of the rink indicates the magnitude the larger dilemma and the bigger the house to. that accord-- occurred at 2:41 p.m. and the other happened yesterday evening. it was a 3.8 magnitude the people said they felt that more strongly
7:33 am
than the first. notice that there's also a third set, that happened in between the other two. the not want to pull out and give a wider view of the bay i just want to inform you which one it was on, it was on the hayward, the bay area has been riddled with various quakes. and obviously we will watch this very carefully as we heard earlier, that is the fault the usgs expect a large earthquake to arrive on 30 years from now. >> darya: extra police will be on duty after another school received a death threat. this latest one is the third in the past week it was at concord high school and that is where will tran is live this morning following the latest on this investigation and who is affecting.
7:34 am
>>reporter: i spoke with a principal a few moments ago, and he said at any moment that i should be flooded with police officers canvassing the whole building. i have not seen a lot police officers i have seen parents. here is video that i shot around 7:00 a.m.. you can see the parents are arriving at school and dropping off their children. there is no doubt that the parents are afraid and worried about their child's safety. none the less they said it is probably hoax. they're keeping their fingers crossed that everything would be ok. including this one parent that i spoke with. >> i feel that it does not make a difference they say that they would do today, monday or tuesday at not think it makes a difference if we kept the home to their next week we need to keep him home for ever. >>reporter: are you concerned? >> yes i am concerned i think it is sad that someone
7:35 am
would do something like this. >>reporter: whoever fact end the threat they said that someone will be shot or people will be shot around 10:00 a.m. this morning that is why they're having extra security as well as police officers not just a compromise cool but also at the middle school that is located nearby in an elementary school. that was what elementary and el dorado--at west would elementary school and held a round of school they will have extra police. >> mark: now we have had some pretty rough commute to this week for the morning live poll over to george to see how things are for this morning. >> george: we still have one really rough commute is our high spots--hot spot. the ride coming out of the off
7:36 am
my past is back up. the dried times are running over 45 minutes with down from the 205 interchange heading out toward the dublin in a change. the earlier action get--earlier accident that caused the problems is now gone. we are heavily backed up as you can see in the westbound direction. thankfully this is our only hot spot the 580 west bound. we have hardly any back up and this is an easy trip the best one of the week on the bay bridge no problems or delays either across the span, or through san francisco. the dried thyme such as 14 minutes from hayward to foster city and you're golden gate bridge ride 101 still looks good and we have it easy ride through marin county
7:37 am
1101 in the southbound direction. the time is now 736 and him. it is time for a with a check and we have more blue sky showing up on the traffic cameras, years james fletcher. >>james: here is the roof camera looking out. clear skies and patchy coverage depending on where you are this morning. we have patchy fog this morning in this afternoon the warming trend will kick in the and the highs will be in the low 80s and funny and well--warmer weather is what we are expecting into the we can right now the satellite you indicate the patchy nature of the cloud coverage that is this morning. oakland, fremont and san jose see cloud coverage. san francisco is clear right now. san francisco was at 53 degrees, we're warming up to 59 in mountain view. this
7:38 am
afternoon we will see the temperatures rise to these levels and i think you will like them. take a look at morgan hill and livermore is 80 degrees there. we have a mixture of low to upper '70's everywhere else around the bay. even san francisco will get in on the knife whether it is everyone agrees with sunny skies. we are looking for conditions to gradually get warmer and warmer as we head into saturday and sunday. the in the highs are in the mid to upper 80s for the weekend. enjoy it because we are cooling off as we have to the first half of next week. that is your weather and thus get down to the news room with a justin. >>justine: rupert murdoch's company has now agreed to pay $2.3 million to the family of a murdered schoolgirl whose phone was hacked by the news of the world tabloid. the
7:39 am
settlement has been confirmed and they say that rupert murdoch will donate $1.6 million to charities chosen by the family. milly was a 13 year-old british girl that was reported lost in 2002--reported missing in 2002. you are watching kron4 news and will be right back. i will awaken you with a song.

7:49 am
one-sided in favor of arrows on a they needed something like this. >> darya: yes but then it ought to change from 47 to 48. >>gary: -not think i have ever seen anyone go out and costumed like that on the field. >> darya: but look at what happened, look into this chaos. >>gary: that was embarrassing. i can see a quick punch or shove in the heat of the moment but this thing went 60 yds. this fight the on for 60 yds. >> darya: if we really want to see a good dent, everyone will have their eyes on what the raiders did this weekend. and then we get this word about carson palmer. i do not view it as a pay cut because he was not
7:50 am
making anything so we decided to retire rather than play with the bank's goals. >>gary: now you tell me if i am wrong, but he has taken a little less this year but it escalates. >> darya: now i think to myself this story coming out makes him look better, it makes the raiders look good i guess it is good to release this type of thing. >>gary: what did they relief? >> darya: i get to know that he makes five and $10 less. >>gary: yes but if you read this is just keeps going up and up and it is fair, if he produces he will make the money back. >> darya: we will see if they played kansas city. he was making about 7.44 million. >>gary: he is a wonderful
7:51 am

7:53 am
seriously, before we go no talks. the players because of their love of the game that they would do the world tour. >>gary: i have been arguing with my friends and they said listen this is like the nba all-star game. they say no one has played decent but i want to see my guides in madison square garden. i know what to see them in secondary locations. these guys are creatures of habit. they want their regular team, everything is fine just as long as you can see the regular-season coming back to you. if they plan and canceling the whole season these guys will play a few games. >> darya: as i said it comes up to two issues and we both know what those are, money and money. [laughter]
7:54 am
7:57 am
jobs saddens everyone of us, asking employees if they have produced their best product. that is what we love about steve jobs, leading the world in new ideas and latest innovations. steve jobs represented the ideal, the government should not displaced proprietary functions. that is what steve jobs practice, that is one of the keys to his success. i quoted from him, simplicity and say no to 1000 things.

8:03 am
says it was the largest quake on record in the area. let's get you caught up on the weekend forecast. >>james: the cloud cover is broken. there is patchy cloud cover at best. will get some good breaks and a decent sunshine. the son has been up for 45 minutes, roughly. we are seeing warming taking hold in the east bay. nothing dramatic just yet. the warming will slowly worked its way across the bay. cloud cover and fog is patchy at best. temperatures are in this '50s and '60s. we have not seen much of warming just yet. a mild start to the day care in many locations are slightly cooler this morning. here is what we see this afternoon. a mild forecast for people around the media bay. we will
8:04 am
8:05 am
traffic with george. >>george: our hot spot has been cleared up. >>george: we are friday light on the bay bridge. there are no delays. from time to time, a traffic slows from the middle of the east parking lot. the san mateo bridge has been problem free as a backup free. the golden gate bridge has been problem free. 101 southbound, and there are no delays in either direction. we will look around the bay area starting with the east gate. the south bay
8:06 am
freeways, 85 and 280 heading through and towards the rest tally --west valley, drive times are well under 40 minutes. >>darya: a developing story, with our lives and concord. there are extra police officers on duty at all three schools after receiving death threats. this is the third one in the past week. this one happened at concord high school. will tran is there speaking with people about how they feel about it. people on facebook are asking, do i send my kids? many cable are worried. >>will: many people are still very much worried. people are sending them to school but telling them if anything happens, run to the
8:07 am
authorities in if call immediately. i have seen several police officers patrolling the campus at concord high school. here is video from maybe 15 minutes ago. a concord police officer was breezing through the driveway, keeping an eye on things. according to the principle, he says this place will be flooded with officers to make sure that parents, students and faculty members will feel safe. they did not expect that anything will happen. many people believe this is a hoax. nonetheless everyone is taking this seriously. not just concord high- school where the facts came into, but also to other nearby schools, eldorado models cool as well as the west would elementary school.--eldorado middle school as well as westwood elementary school. this

8:11 am
8:14 am
the >>darya: of the morning after the earth quake, everyone feels on guard. i did not know if it makes sense or not, but you are ready for another one, right? let's find out more about this if the usgs. on the heels of those to earthquakes yesterday, people think, does that mean there will be another one today? what can you say to that? >> we had a magnitude 4.0
8:15 am
at 2:41 p.m., followed by a few aftershocks and at 8:16 p.m., a 3.8 magnitude. we have an aftershock sequence going on. we expect to have some additional small offense. most are not large enough to be felt, but we could have additional events in the 3.0 magnitude range that people would feel. >>darya: are the after stocks usually smaller? >> the probability of a larger of that is a very small, but there is a finite chance. as we go on in time, the chances of a larger event become smaller and smaller. we have not had an additional event since the 4:00 p.m.. that is another indication that the chances of a larger event become less and less as time goes on. >>darya: , we'll look at our
8:16 am
kron4 viewers, everyone likes to say where they were a and what they felt, it seems like more people felt the second earthquake even though it was not as strong as the first one. does that make sense to you? >> our actual felt reports show that the magnitude 4.0 was felled by 18,000 people responding to our server. the 3.8 we had just under 15,000 responses. in terms of the number of people actually reported it to less and filling out the survey, it is about 3000 more people from the 4.0 magnitude. we do know that from past experiences, in the evening, when there is less traffic around, people are usually at home and sitting down, not up and active or doing as much.
