6:05 pm
tells us about the evacuation drill that is planned for this weekend. it's a sign of the times throughout northern california, and it's certainly true for mill valley. the question is, what should residents do it for fire threatened this community of hillside homes with two way streets, some as narrow as 10 ft across so that as soon as someone stops or tries to go the other way, it's a traffic jam. these streets were. built around the turn of the century, when we still had horses and buggies or small cars, and since that time we've remodeled homes to be much larger. our latest theory right now is that we have two main roads in town. and both of those will be jammed up. that is why the mill valley mayor and other city officials are conducting experiments saturday, mill valley is teamed up with google researchers to organise an evacuation drill aimed at improving the evacuation response here. the drill will involve some 250 residents lining up on east blight dale avenue to create gridlock. then
6:06 pm
time how long it takes to clear the area by directing cars to nearby parking areas away from any fire zones. the theory is that by clearing the flatland area quickly, cars continuing to come down from the hills won't hit choke points that can be fatal. we've seen that that chaos on the roadway during other disasters within our community within the state of california within the oakland hills. within the city of santa rosa and the tubbs fire, google will be using its research and technology to help mill valley with its evacuation plan. what we're going to do is run that process. with a drill with real cars on saturday, time in and see how it works. and then compare that to, uh, give that information to google so they can run their own scenarios. to help us decide whether this is a really good idea. i think it's a great idea. i wish we did it every other month. mill valley is looking for more people to participate in the drill on saturday, people can sign up online by going to ktvu .com and clicking on the link. in mill valley. rob roth, ktvu fox two news. new information

windy weather in the north bay hills and the east bay hills and valleys are creating dangerous wildfire conditions. fire departments in those areas are on high alert. the red flag warning went into effect last night at 11 and is due to expire at eight o'clock tonight. in the last hour pga announced the all clear for public safety power. shutoffs crews are now in the process of restoring power to the few 100 customers whose power was cut off in napa and solano counties. power is also being
6:14 pm
restored to the other northern california counties, where power lines were de energized all because of those red flag warning conditions. p genie is upgraded sensors designed to tell more quickly when a power line has been compromised or might start a fire. but ktvu is tom vacar tells us that technology is setting off some false alarms resulting in unnecessary shutoffs. of some 25,000 miles of power lines that deliver your energy p genie has determined the 10,000 miles are in the highest of high fire threat zones on those lines p genie has strategically placed automatic sensors. that will shut off if. the line shorts out. if something were to touch the line, it shuts off automatically, and it doesn't provide a spark. it prevents a wildfire. lightning animal contact a branch leaning against the power line or a complete break from a falling tree or limb will cause the sensors to automatically decided the line should be de energized. to provide maximum
6:15 pm
safety. they have tweaked those sensors increase the sensitivity, basically, so if there's a fault detected on the line, it shuts off faster and more often in recent weeks, this fast trip technology has caused at least five outages in the foothills and mountains between fresno and like tahoe. there have also been such outages. in west sonoma and marin, as well as half moon bay and santa cruz that has caused some complaints. one of pg knees, goals is to essentially fine tune and adjust the sensitivity of each fast trip circuit breaker to make sure the actual fire risk in its area is matched. and so we're readjusting them every calibrating them. so they're not so frequent. but they are longer duration outages because these are high fire threat areas once tripped, the line cannot be re energized until pg and e crews have a close. look at the line. we are beefing up the patrols to restore power
6:16 pm
and more quickly to finish those patrols. faster move more boots on the ground. this is very crucial now because we've entered the time. of the ferocious winds. the diablo winds the santa ana winds, which blood high speed, very often pushing fires far, far out of control. tom vacar ktvu, fox two news. tom is right. that's the time of year. when we get those weather systems have come through the winds turn off shore like they did last night. last night was a pretty calm event. relatively speaking. like i said last night, right, you have red flag warnings, but there's a spectrum of them. there's a texture to each one, and this was a. kind of low on the spectrum in terms of danger, but it's still red flag warning. it's so dangerous. it just didn't encompass the whole bay area, and it was mainly higher and was mainly in the north bay and the winds really below 1000 ft were almost not non existent, but pretty light. well, that's and that's good. so tomorrow, the red flag warning has gone. it's going to be gone the next couple hours, actually. but these are the highs from today and tomorrow is going to follow suit. with these numbers coming up today's temperature's warmed. some
6:17 pm
places like 10 degrees, so tomorrow you're going to see temperatures warm again another five degrees or so. so temperatures coming back up as you look at the 91 conquer the 86 in vallejo, those will turn into. conquered by turned to a 94. vallejo probably turn to an 88 something like that. and it is false, you know, so you can really feel it out there now, um, got my geography all lined up for you guys. there's outlets peak, which i messed up last week, and that's up around the napa valley. and i'm pretty sure. gonna get in trouble on this one. i think that's mount bacca. is that right? that alice, i think that's not back over there. um, just outside the back of ill, so beautiful night. no fog at the coast. that's when i look at that picture, right? and that's one of the things when you look at that picture, you go it's fall right. it's fall. where's the fog? the texture of the surface of the ocean or the bay. you see how it's some areas are, uh, texture and some areas of flat glass. it tells you the wind direction. typically the flat glass area is being blocked by
6:18 pm
the north wind is being blocked by the hills up behind up by sandra fell there and so you're getting glass out on tiburon bay and. and richardson bay and on at the golden gate bridge. the winds are blowing out through the bridge right now. so you got an offshore wind? um, what we got here, huh? criminal trouble my computer day, but i'm good. okay their quality looks good, right? lots of greens. we will see our quality. um, tomorrow a road next couple. they just a little bit. those fires in norcal definitely. you know, god put out, not put out but got stunted. and so the smoke didn't didn't, uh, isn't getting in our position, but there's a fire in southern california down by the big trees that those easterly winds some southeast is going to draw some smoked back in this area. it is a spare the air day tomorrow i'll see you back here with that. bill, thank you. facebook and ray ban had rolled out their new smart glasses. ray ban stories, and already there are concerns that those glasses are a threat to personal privacy and security. they look like regular sunglasses, but they allow
