( james ) black friday shopping has evolved a lot in recent years. from stores opening on thanksgiving to online sales. but despite the changes, it is still a very important day for retailers.( darya) karin caifa breaksdown how shoppers and retailers are approaching the day, and what economic indicators will drive the season's discounts and deals? last year some retailers started to notice that the early morning black friday frenzy was quite a bit calmer and so some of them have adjusted their plans this year. this best buy, for example, was open for post- dinner shoppers last night and won't re-open again until 8 this morning but black friday is still a very important day for retailers, more than 164 million americans expected to shop in the five day stretch between thanksgiving and cyber monday, with today anticipating the most traffic. the wild doorbusters aren't the only deals in town anymore. between early discounts, online offers, and retailers

opening doors on thanksgiving day or night, consumers have more options than camping out in the cold.but black friday still kicks off a weekend that's absolutely critical to retailers and this year, they're optimistic.katherine cullen / national retail federation: people are feeling good about the economy, unemployment is low, wages are strong, and that's translating into greater willingness to spend around events like the holiday season.unemployment is low. gas prices are lower too. and consumer confidence, strong.the national retail federation estimates holiday sales will increase between 4.3 to 4.8-percent over last year, and could reach more than $720 billion.black friday, with 116 million shoppers expected today, will give a lot of clues about how they're shopping -- online, mobile, or in-store.where they're shopping -- department store, big box or discounter. and how much they might spend beyond this weekend.katherine cullen / national retail federation: we know consumers shop all season long, they like to stretch out their budgets, they like to wait for, you know, that last minute deal or promotion on

something they want, so we expect they'll be shopping all the way up till christmas eve. and in the near future we may be looking at this as a six- day stretch. a lot of people were shopping on wednesday. online sales for the day up more than 30-percent from the year before according to adobe and a lot of that traffic coming for mobile.in paramus, new jersey, i'm karin caifa.

we rode along with san francsico police officers who spent thanksgiving delivering meals to the elderly. officer alan katz and dexter tsang made more than a dozen stops in chinatown and north beach for the elederly who might not be able to make it to the lady shaw senior center. both officers say they feel honored to be apart of the group of officers who delivered meals to seniors who otherwise might go without. ( james) both officers say its also a good time to interact with the public in a

calm and relaxed environment because a lot of the families haven't dealt with police before so they got a chance to see the officer do more than respond to crimes. ( darya ) in the east bay... oakland police have released the name of the person they arrested in connection to a construction fire. police say they've connected dustin bellinger to the october 23rd fire on the 32-hundred block of peralta street. the 45-year old part-time construction worker faces one felony count of maliciously damaging or destroying a building by means of fire or an explosive. this is video from a separate fire on the same morning... where a 126- unit building under construction was also destroyed.has not been suspect in that he is being held without santa rita jail.

put out the fire in 20 minutes but could not get to the man inside the home. 3 others including 8-children living in the house were not injured... but the house is a total loss. the red cross is now helping the family. ( james ) to butte county now where the rain is helping in the fire fight.. but creating an even bigger challenge for the team searching for the missing. containment has gone up to 95-percent this morning. but officials have raised the death toll to 84. hundreds of people are still considered missing. more than 13-thousands homes have been destroyed. the camp fire has burned more than 153- thousand acres.. but it has not grown any bigger.

( james )we know that housing supply in the bay area isn't keeping up with demand. for several years now -- it's been a sellers market. but as the economy has stabilized and in many cases, excelled... people are still looking into buying homes. ( darya) kron four's philippe djegal spoke with housing industry experts with a look at mortgages... and, whether or not buying a house is still affordable. contrary to popular belief...jason moon/real estate agents- "millenials are definitely buying homes." the american dream of owning a home is not dead...chris hudson/mortgage consultant- "it's alive, but we're having to get a little more creative

in keeping it alive." the path to ownership just involves a few more hoops than it did just a decade ago... when borrowers who couldn't afford their loans were easily getting pre-approved before their homes lost tremendous value and were forced into foreclosure...kristine marr/senior loan officer- "consumers are afraid, um, a bit of the mortgage process -- it's shrouded in mystery and it shouldn't be." in san francisco, where zillow says the median listing price for a home is more than 1.25 million dollars... there -- you might be priced out no matter what you make... but in the east bay -- let's say in concord...jason moon/real estate agent- "it's a spacious, two-bedroom two-

bath house." real estate agent jason moon says depending on your level of income, your credit history and amount of cash available to cover the downpayment and closing costs... this 640- thousand dollar home could be yours.jason moon/real estate agent- "you want to know if they're buying a home with cash or with a loan. and, most of the time it is with a loan, um, regardless of what some people may say out there." moon partners with senior loan officers like kristine (chris- teen) marr with summit funding in walnut creek... to determine if the consumer qualifies for a mortgage.. and, if so, which type. marr says most people are still signing traditional 30- year-fixed rate mortgages... but that adjustable rate mortgages may fall more in line with the borrower's needs, especially here in the bay area... if the home buyer intends to move out within three to seven years. kristine marr/senior loan officer- "say two young professionals, straight out of school. i can qualify them straight out of school to buy a home, and i'll show them the options. i'll show them this is a 30-year fixed mortgage, but since you're buying a small home or a condo, you might want to look at a side by side comparison with a seven-one arm. it will be fixed for seven years. so, if you sell anytime before seven years, it will never adjust on you because you'll sell the home, the mortgage is gone -- paid off. and, you move to your next home." marr says the myth of needing 20-percent cash down to secure a mortgage and a home is just that -- a myth.kristine marr/senior loan officer- "you can go with three-percent down, or three- and-a-half percent down, or anything above that." you could also possibly qualify for downpayment assistan in the form of credit that can also be applied to closing costs. philippe djegal, kron four news.

( james ) we're happy for the rain, but up until this week it had been a mostly dry year. but there's hope that a developing "el nino" might continue to bring us more rain.( darya ) but just because it's an el nino, doesn't ánecessarily mean we will see lots of rain. kron4's chief meteorologist lawrence karnow explains. (track 1: 1st take) (video of hot, dry weather and natsounds of wildfires) it was a summer

of scorching temperatures and some of the largest fires in california history. for 7 of the last 10 years, california has suffered through a severe drought. in fact, from 2011 to 2014, we've had the driest period since records began in the 1800s. (track 2: 1st take) (videos of dry brush and fires) it's no surprise that parched land covered with dead trees and brush have provided plenty of fuel for wildfires to sweep across the state. (natsound of fires)(track 3: 2nd take) (el nino globe graphic) and with an el nino forecast to develop this fall and winter, hopes are high for a lot of rain.(natsound of rain)(track 4: 1st take) (el nino animation graphic) el nino is a warming of the equatorial waters in the central and eastern pacific. it can change weather patterns all across the globe.(track 5: 1st take) (natsound of flooding) when we think of an el nino, flooding rain and mudslides often come to mind.(video of floods & mudslides)(track 6: 1st take) but not every el nino is the same, and they don't always bring a lot of rain.(bite - 7:10)(brian garcia, warning coordination meteorologist nws) (not all el nino's are created equal. 2015 - 2016 was a strong el nino but is was classified as a dud because we were hoping it would be a drought buster for us)(7:20)

(track 7: 1st take) (imgó0298.jpg)(please burn a courtesy for noaa into the graphic)the waters at the equator have started to warm, and this year's forecast is for a weak or moderate el nino. so what does that mean for the bay area and the state? (bite - 6:15)(brian garcia)(in weak el nino years we typically see much more normal rainfall for the overall water year but we can get periods of heavy rain in any year. i don't think we've seen a strong rain year come out of a weak el nino) (6:32)(cover some of this bite with video) (track 8: 2nd take) (video of rain, then seasonal outlook graphic) computer models are now forecasting a 70 to 75% chance of el nino conditions this winter.(video of rain) (track 9: 1st take) (video of dry brown hills and reservoirs) but how much rain we see here and across the state is still unknown. (track 10: 1st take) (videos of light rain in puddles) a look at past 'weak to moderate' el nino events give us a little clue. the average of the last 25 weak el ninos brings slightly below normal rain for the state.

we brought you a story about the el nino conditions the pacific... means for the ( james ) now we are joined by meterologist john sharable as he takes another look, this time along the napa river, where devastating flooding in years past prompted officials to invest in major flood control measures. ( john ) i'll explain why el nino doesn't necessarily guarantee flooding, let alone rainy conditions. to visitors, napa valley is known for it's pristine vinenyards... but locals also know napa for it's frequent flooding and wildfires, both of which can pose problems during an el nino season. pkg: ljamie hooker/ hillside christian church: "it was really scary but also really great to see the community coming around our church and coming around everyone as we were experiencing this crazy devastation." jamie hooker attends and works at hillside community church. last year, she could she see the glow of the tubbs fire just over this hillside. this after a heavy

rainy season when the church had to install new drainage because of flooding... all in the same year. jamie hooker/ hillside christian church: "we see floods down at the front of the church, we see fires back behind the church, so where we're positioned is really a place where we get to see all of that."flooding and fire. two things residents in the north bay have had to become accustomed to. and in an el nino year, these two weather events combined pose the potential of debris flows from burn scars that can clog water-ways during flooding events.phil miller/ napa county flood control: "it's anticipated that with climate change and with these fires what used to be called a 100 year storm can now be called a 10 year storm and the statistics will need to be changed."the napa is no stranger to high water. phil miller/ napa county flood control: "there were over 22 recorded floods in the history of napa."just over 10 years ago the city completed this, a massive series of walls, gates and channels to help direct flood waters through and out of the downtown core. "at first glance it may just look like any other city park, but when the napa river rises high enough this actually becomes the bottom of the channel and these gates right here will close, helping to protect the city from the rising waters." amelia humphreys/ napa resident: "we saw pretty much this river here go all the way under the bridge there and cover the garbage cans that are over there, all those cars that are over there would be under water as well." napa county flood

control: "we just had crowds of people out here, kids on the shoulders of their dads watching the water go by, and we were down here in our yellow storm gear and people were yelling out to 111us, this is what the government is supposed to be doing! this works great!"but since completion these gates have only been drawn a single time... and it wasn't during an el nino winter .. but the following year... which despite being very rainy was actually a la nina when the ocean waters near us are actually cooler. phil miller/ napa county flood control: "on a very strong el nino year we do tend to get additional precipitation in northern california which happened in the winter of 2016, whereas in the winter of 2017, where we had a record year, that was actually a la nina year where it's pretty much a crap-shoot as to what your going to get." what's the lesson here? el nino conditions often do coincide with flooding conditions. but in a changing climate, scenes like those from the historic 1997 el nino may become more common, el nino or not.heather phillips/ local grape grower: "i think that we've seen hits or misses with el nino, it hasn't been really that consistent so i think we're wondering what it could bring this year, there's nothing on the horizon." for this deeply agricultural valley, grape growers such as heather phillips say they are thankful for the rain an el nino can bring...but climate change could alter the characteristics of an el nino potentially making the weather impact more extreme.

( james ) we are awaiting the release of a government report on climate change today. the report on the human impact of climate change was originally expected to be released in december, but the national oceanic and atmospheric administration announced they had moved the date up to today. but there's speculation it's an attempt for it to be buried on black friday -- a day when few people will be paying attention to the news.

store, big box or discounter. and how much they might spend beyond this weekend.katherine cullen / national retail federation: we know consumers shop all season long, they like to stretch out their budgets, they like to wait for, you know, that last minute deal or promotion on something they want, so we expect they'll be shopping all the way up till christmas eve. now to an amazing story of survival from the deadly campfire. it all started when a new mother fled a burning hospital with her new baby as medical workers fought to keep her -- and each other -- safe from the flames. joe khalil has the story. six day old halle is the last baby born at feather river hospital.just moments after she arrived, the camp fire

began to surround the building. heather roebuck/mother"they came over the speaker, evacuate the hospital. all patients need to be moved." tamara ferguson/nurse"i went to my patients' rooms and i said just grab your baby, we gotta go. just grab your baby there's no time."in the scramble to evacuate, halle's mom heather had been separated from her child.put into an ambulance and driven away.her ambulance made it about half a mile before it began to literally melt in the flames. her c section surgery left the lower half of her body numb. she couldn't move.and made what she thought would be her last phone call.heather roebuck/mother"i said goodbye to my husband and just told him to tell our kids i love them and that i was sorry. i'm sorry i wouldn't be there. it was very very hard."tamara ferguson/nurse"i heard the ambulance in front of us in on fire."nurse tamara ferguson was in an ambulance behind heather's.making the same last phone call to her family. tamara ferguson/nurse"they kept telling me you're going to be fine. and i kept trying to convince them no you don't

understand. i'm not gonna be fine. there's no way i'm going to survive this. there's fire blowing at me."as the fire was consuming homes all around them, a stranger helped heather get out of her ambulance and wheeled her up this driveway on chloe court. nurse tamara followed. eventually they ran into david hawks, paradise's fire chief. chief david hawks/paradise fire dept."there's a dog door here. one of the paramedics made access to. we unlocked the garage, moved patients into this home and sheltered them in place. i said hey if you follow directions which is to clear pine needles, that we would be safe here."what happened next was nothing short of amazing.emts and nurses became stand-in firefighters.some getting on the roof of this home clearing gutters of brush.hosing down the outer edge of the property. saving this home, all while their patients were kept safe inside.tamara ferguson/nurse "he said you do this, you do this you do this. all of us shifted our minds to what do we need to do for survival mode here."chief david

hawks/paradise fire dept."they followed directions, they did exactly what i asked them to do."amid a neighborhood devastated by the camp fire, this chloe court home survived. so did all the patients and medical staff inside.desiree borden/evacuee"i am so happy that my home was spared so their lives could be spared. that was that home's purpose, was to save those people." desiree borden owns this home with her husband.not long before it was used to save lives of people she'd never met, she was fleeing her home with her 17 month old daughter in the car.desiree borden/evacuee"i was singing nursery rhymes to her trying to keep her calm. although she was very calm, i don't know if i was singing the nursery rhymes for her or for me. i just knew that our story couldn't end that way. we couldn't burn alive in a car." it wasn't until one of the nurses sent desiree a facebook message that she learned her home was still standing.she'd assumed like her neighbors' homes it was gone.now, these

people, all strangers a few days ago, forever bonded through one common story of survival.tamara ferguson/nurse "we're all here. we're all able to talk about this and it's absolutely extraordinary." desiree borden/evacuee"it's humbling to know that your life was spared when so many aren't, and so many are unaccounted for." that was joe khalil reporting.
