>> reporter: the fagade of the ame church was damaged as the building was gutted. >> we all grew up here praying. you know? for us to not have a church home, it was really hard to hear that, this morning. >> the fire started shortly before midnight on sunday firefighters were battling the blaze early into the predawn hours. by sunrise, the extent of the damage was plain to see but parishioners had a plan. they headed across town to a sister church, brookins ame, it was time, they said for prayer and praise and community. >> i felt a deep sense of connectedness where we were all coming together for a common purpose. it is hard to describe it,

except to say that we really felt like we were standing as one. >> the exact cause of the fire remains under instigation. >> reporter: the church's pastor, reverend smith says his faith is that he believes his coronation will emerge stronger than before. >> what we really need is prayers. we are with you, in prayer and support, for the rebuilding of this lighthouse in this community. >> reporter: the recovery from the fire will likely be measured in months and years with longtime parishioners like steve saying they look forward to the day that their beloved church is born a new. >> we will make it. you know, like you said, it will take a while, because it's a lot of damage. a lot of stuff has to be rebuilt . but, we will get it back. we will sing hallelujah when we go marching back into the building.

>> reporter: this community held a church service in a nearby sister church as we saw, and will have to wait on the time going forward, because it will take months and probably years for this church to be fully rebuilt. >> thank you very much, devin fehely, reporting live in oakland. that the church has been in oakland since 1858. during segregation, they opened the first school for minority children in the city. they have been a community hub ever since, hosting social and political clubs and events. that church moved to its current location in the 1950s, where they have been serving food to the community three days per week for the past 30 years. today, congresswoman barbara lee called it a beacon of light in oakland but this is not the first time in the church's history that the entire congregation has been displaced. devon will have that story, at 6:00. it's a moment thousands of

pg&e customers in oakland have been waiting for. in the past 90 minutes, the utility restored service to 8500 homes and businesses. they have been in the dark since yesterday afternoon. it all started with a fire at a pg&e substation near 50th avenue and coliseum way. at the peak of the outage, more than 54,000 customers were out of power, including the oakland airport. >> the kiosk wasn't working, so no one could get tickets, to get their baggage or their car, everyone was just waiting. we were just waiting. and then the conveyor belt wasn't working. >> live look outside right now, we are in for a cold and windy week, that could even bring us, dare i say, bay area snow. >> snow? i'm not used to that all around here. all right, first of meteorologist darren peck is tracking what to expect and when. expand on that pic >> you will have to be in the

hills, which makes sense, but a lot lower in those hills and what we have gotten used to by thursday we could see snow as low as 1000 feet which means, maybe a dusting for the east bay hills, it would not be super impactful but it would definitely catch people's attention. i think it would probably be more impactful in the santa cruz mountains, where we have got more into structure and roads that go above 1000 feet, but, there's a lot coming our way. so, after a wonderful three day weekend, everything starts to change tomorrow. the first element is that it gets windy and cold. that is what tuesday is about. windy and cold. and then, scattered showers will start from tuesday night through wednesday, and that will get going really through friday. on tuesday and wednesday it is mainly just scattered showers. and then wednesday, late, throughout all day on friday, cold air filters into this system. enough cold air that we start to see snow levels drop with scattered showers. and by the time we get into thursday and friday, now it is down to that 1000 feet level, that will be something to watch, giving you a quick view

of what that looks like on the big picture, you can see the system coming our way as we go through tuesday, into wednesday and thursday. and friday. i will be back with the rest of this story in a bit. by the way, wind advisory starts tomorrow afternoon, back over to you. >> thanks. supporters of oakland police chief armstrong rallied on the steps of city hall today. his spokesperson tells us armstrong's legal team will likely launch an appeals process this week. mayor sheng thao fired him last week after he was accused of mishandling officer misconduct case. today, the naacp and community leaders delivered an impassioned plea to the mayor. >> we demand he be fully exonerated, and that mayor thao reinstate him immediately. >> we reached out to the mayor's office for a response. we were told mayor thao did not have any additional content comment. a war of words interrupted over barriers and sent to

discuss capp street, this is the latest effort by the city to eliminate prostitution on the street, which has long been known as a hotspot, there. local seven cisco firefighters union called the barriers a safety hazard. they treated, quote, selfish decisions that put others at risk can have dire consequences, the treat goes on to say if you were trapped in the building, how long would you like to wait. supervisor hillary ronan, who represents the area fired back on twitter, today, quote, twitter is not the place to have serious policy conversations. working deeply on the issue, if you would like to join i welcome it. in the meantime, the barriers have afforded the residence, including countless children, the first nights of peace they have had in a long time. call me. the city have said that the barriers are not intended to be there forever and coming up at 6:00 we dig into the debate over what could be a more permanent solution. >> a collocated situation, there. president biden is vowing

unwavering support for ukraine. on an unannounced visit to the capital of kyiv, the president wrote, 10 hours by train from the polish border to get there. he spent more than five hours in kyiv, meeting with president volodymyr zelenskyy to talk about next steps in the war. that includes newly announced plans to provide ukraine with nearly $500 million in additional military equipment. >> i thought it was critical for there not to be any doubt, none whatsoever, about u.s. support. >> putin's war of conquest is failing. russia's military has lost half its territory it once occupied. >> president biden later returned to poland for talks with its president and other eastern european allies. let's head up to anne makovec, she spoke with a bay area congressman about the president unannounced ukraine visit. >> represented john gurman just

got back from the border of ukraine and poland. he was there in advance of a meeting with senior military officials, and nato members as part of the armed services committee. his first priority was to account for the billions of dollars in military equipment the u.s. has sent to ukraine. he says it is indeed getting to the front lines. he also wanted to show support for the countries neighboring ukraine. they know that if ukraine falls, they could be under attack next. he says their fear and anxiety is palpable, and that the president's visit today was poignant.'s budget sent a message to the world, that you can count on the united states. the united states will be with you. in good times, and bad times, and we are not going to cut and run. >> he wants that message to get through to china, as well, before that country considers any further aggression in the south pacific. ryan and amanda? >> and, thank you for the outlook on that. >> this presidents' day, people are sharing thoughts and prayers for the nation's 39th president, jimmy carter.

>> in san francisco, a group has gathered at manny's since 6:00 in the morning, reading the entire january 6th report. the final report was actually released in december, state and city leaders, along with community members, have been taking turns reading from the 800 page document. >> we wanted to honor the work of the committee, inform the public and read this report so that we can learn about what happened at an our nations capital. >> they are nearly 12 hours in and there is still a ways to go. that reading is expected to be finished by 10:00, tonight. oakland police are now looking for the drivers in a pair of disturbing hit and runs, including one which killed a 100-year-old man. it happened yesterday morning at the intersection of 19th and harrison streets. the driver took offense police say they are looking for a white or tan mini cooper. oakland police are looking for the driver where a woman and her young child drove off,

this happened along international boulevard. we are told the mother suffered critical injuries, but both she and her daughter are expected to survive. witnesses say drivers often fail to stop at the red light in that area. >> ryan, so many of us can relate to this situation. drivers here in sacramento are calling on caltrans to do something about loose gravel on the rise. since the january storms, many have taken to social media to vent about having their windshields chipped or shattered near the i-80 and highway 55 interchange in roseville. >> in the past couple of months, it has been more noticeable, just the sounds and stuff hitting. it could definitely be related to the weather, too. and auto body repair shop says it is getting more window replacement, good for them, but even for brand-new cars, caltrans says it is looking into it. >> amanda, good news for commuters in the bay area, 680 is back up and ahead of schedule after a three-day weekend closure to prepare a

stretch between pleasanton and sano. are chopper was overhead as caltrans crews started picking up loose cones that had been blocking off the northbound side of the freeway between koopman road and simone boulevard. let's check in with meteorologist darren peck. a beautiful weekend, but snow and you got me. >> that will always catch people's attention. it's like a version of whether whiplash coming our way through the first thing is the wind, tomorrow but that is what will really catch people's attention. so, let's start there before we get to the bus of -- possibility of snow in the bay area hills which is down around 1000 feet by thursday. temperatures out, now, in the mid 60s. we made it to low 70s were some warmest inland spots. tomorrow, it's very different but the wind turns on by the afternoon. here we are just around sunrise, it's not all that windy yet. by the time we get to 2:00 it is very windy. so, right through the middle of the day, but the strongest

locations in the red boxes along the coast. those will be 50 mile per hour gusts, there. it's more like 40 for the majority of the rest of the day. we will stay breezy through all of wednesday and it is going to feel cold when that happens because these are going to be cold northerly wind. it is the wind chill factor that you will really experience, much colder tomorrow. but, the wind advisory spotlights the possibility for downed trees. with 50 mile per hour gusts, bay area wide, especially in the hills, we will probably have more downed trees and maybe even localized power outages. okay, if we look at the system responsible for this coming down directly from the north, this is why it will be so darn cold. it is a unique pathway for a storm to follow to get here and when that happens you can get your coldest systems. you don't necessarily get the most rain, but you do get some rain. against the scattered showers, watch that closely. for the majority of tuesday night and throughout much of wednesday, while rain is possible in that period, there will not be a lot of it. few and far between on the showers, on-again and off-again

light showers. then, thursday into friday, showers become more numerous, and the air will get colder, and that is the timeframe where we could see low elevation snow. so, if we look throughout wednesday, we have not gotten a lot of rain, but if we put on the thursday and friday rain now we are about half an inch because of that comes through on thursday and friday. if we look at the close of you for what that could look like for snow here, primarily wednesday night throughout friday, it will be cold enough that those showers will be able to drop snow down to about 1000 feet. so, that means, we have actually got some of the east bay hills, the highest elevations, we are all thinking mt. diablo, this is more like the potential for east bay hills like along skyline boulevard. anything that is 1000 feet or above could get a light dusting, could be major regulations, and it will certainly be a talker, and will catch people's attention. a lot more snow on mt. hamilton and the santa cruz mountains of the potential for more impact in this scenario, where we have more infrastructure, roads, and communities that are much

higher above that 1000 foot level. santa cruz mountains might have a bigger impact and of course the northbay mountains have always been a place to get snow but the focus of the system what's to put more from santa cruz mountains south. more snow in the sierra but for holiday travel concerns over there, does not start until tuesday afternoon. and then, it will really go. we look more at the sierra and snow story coming up in the next half hour, we will spent more time on just how unique this system is, and what it took for the atmosphere to be able to give us these unique circumstances. you can see it has a chance of scattered showers in the seven day forecast wednesday through friday. most of that rain will happen on thursday and friday and the wind gets your attention tomorrow. there's another system that comes in by the way on monday of next week. more on that as we get closer to it and it does look like saturday and sunday will be a break. still cold, but we will be in

between systems. back to you. >> thanks, darren. fresh off a grammy win, the bay area's alphabet rockers performed at the wards hall of science, today. >> the sold-out crowd there danced to music from their album, the movement. >> families came together to hear songs of the grammy- winning album. the group's founders say they hope events like this inspire kids to find their own voice. >> everybody has something to say, and i feel like it does not all have to be the same beat all the time. it does not have to be the same thing. you have to let yourselves be diverse, and strange, and incredible, and outrageous, because, hip-hop culture is gorgeous. >> it is gorgeous. today's event also celebrated lawrence hall silences original animated program that teaches kids about cybersecurity. >> is a great event. still ahead, he spent time in juvenile hall as a kid, then turned his life around. the bay area man is now on a mission to inspire the next generation.
