West Coast Wrap, Wednesday 11/11/2026

Tonight, we're learning more about the victims in a tragic crash in Southern California where a vehicle jumped the curb and Plowed into a crowd of people outside the North Hollywood Metro Station. Good evening, everyone. Welcome to West Coast Wrap. I'm Alex Savage. That crash left three people dead and two others critically injured. And authorities say a suspected DUI driver was behind the wheel. Fox 11's Gigi Graciette has more tonight on how the community is paying tribute to the beloved food vendors who were killed in last night's crash. As one LAPD officer said to me this was a tragedy that could have easily been prevented and that's because the driver of that minivan accused of killing three women and injuring two more well he's been arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence and now he's also facing three charges of murder. Take a look. It happened yesterday just before 6 p.m. rush hour. The sidewalk on Lankershim and Chandler crowded with people going and coming from the metro station in addition to the street vendors outside selling anything from sodas to snacks for the commuters. Police say they believe Demianenko was speeding down Lankershim when he tried to pass a car, lost control and ended up on the sidewalk. Again, killing those three women instantly. Their ages, between late 30s to late 50s. And he also injured two others who remain hospitalized today, one of them in critical condition. To hear something like this, it's just terrible, you know. And regardless of who passed away here, it definitely leaves a deep... It's a shock in my heart to come out of this elevator and not see the vendors here anymore. They were really part of this community, part of the commuter community. They worked here for years and they served. As people very well and bringing it back here on Lankershim and Chandler, the scene has been cleaned up, but now there is a memorial here. We've seen people leaving candles and flowers saying a silent prayer. As for the victims, they have not yet been identified by the medical examiner. Meanwhile, Demianenko remains behind bars. His bail has been set at over $6 million in North Hollywood. Gigi Graciette. An Uber driver has pleaded guilty to kidnapping a passenger to commit rape. Ventura County prosecutors say Simranjeet Saikhan picked up the passenger outside a bar in Thousand Oaks in November of 2025. Authorities say the woman fell asleep during the ride. Prosecutors say Saikhan sexually assaulted her while she was unconscious. He is facing seven years to life in prison at sentencing, which is coming up in December. Well, tonight there are growing calls for the release of a University of San Francisco nursing professor who's being held by federal immigration authorities. Dr. Anne Lawani was detained back in September, and she's being held in a detention center that's thousands of miles from her home. Her family, friends, and colleagues are now trying to highlight her case. KTVU's Christian Kafton joins us live tonight from the University of San Francisco. And Christian, she has an ally on Capitol Hill as well. Yeah, exactly right, Alex. Now a congressman is petitioning on behalf of Anne Lawani and her family and friends hope she returns soon. On September 16th, immigration officials went to the home of Anne Lawani, a Nigerian immigrant, and detained her on the spot, taking her onto a bus, reportedly shackling her, and eventually taking her to Louisiana. Lawani is a nurse and teacher at the University of San Francisco. She's also the primary caregiver for her elderly father, who's battling cancer. Sam Lawani, Anne's brother, spoke with us via Zoom from his car while taking his father to a medical appointment. He said Anne's removal from their family life... The day she was taken by ICE and Louisiana PD, she pleaded to my dad is in the home sleeping. I just want to go make sure the door is locked and let him know that I am leaving and he wouldn't see me when he wakes up. They told her that we don't care about who's in the house, we're here for you and you resisting arrest and put her in the van and boom, she was gone. Sam said his sister has dedicated her life to helping others, putting her own life in jeopardy to treat patients during the COVID pandemic. After not knowing where she initially had been taken, he was finally able to track her down to Louisiana where he said he was able to visit with her briefly. He said her first thought Was of those around her whose families still don't know where they are and had no legal aid. The funds I brought for her, she said there are people here who have nobody coming to see them or even that can fight or advocate for them outside. So she ends up putting money into their commissary accounts so they could have something. Immigration and Customs Enforcement is saying Lawani, who came to the U.S. legally in 2007, overstayed her visa. ICE has said ICE's mission is to enforce immigration law, a congressionally mandated function to protect America's national security, public safety and economic strength. The Trump administration is utilizing all lawful options to carry out the largest deportation operation in history, just as President Trump promised. We will not apologize for defending the homeland. This is exactly what the American American people voted for. Now, Congressman John Harder from the Central Valley has said this is not what the American people wanted when it comes to immigration enforcement. The president told us that ICE was going to be focused on violent criminals and making our community safer. How does deporting somebody like Dr. Luwani make our community safer? Last month, he reached out to the Department of Homeland Security trying to secure Luwani's release. And so that's exactly why I wrote the letter to DHS Secretary Mark Wayne Mullen, urging for her supervised release back to California, and for an end to these tactics that led us here in the first place. Attorneys have petitioned for Lawani's release, and that is now in a holding pattern, family tells us. They say they don't even know if or when the matter will be heard, since there's such a tremendous backlog of cases. The congressman told me today that he sent that letter to DHS in October. So far, Alex, he's not heard back. Reporting live for West Coast Wrap, I'm Christian Kafton. Back to you. All right, Christian, thank you. The board of Silicon Valley AI giant NVIDIA is reportedly poised to oust embattled CEO and co-founder Jensen Huang. This comes after the New York Times reported earlier today that Huang had an affair with a subordinate, the company's vice president of health care. Huang is already under investigation by NVIDIA. And the FBI for an affair with an alleged Chinese spy. NVIDIA is the world's second most valuable company. And analysts say this could mark something larger for the AI boom. Mathematically, we're going to have an AI bubble pop at some point. This is not possible for all of the AI companies to do as well as their stock values would kind of imply. And often at the beginning of a pop, we look for something called a black swan event, where there's an event that kind of triggers a cascade of. Collapse after that. And a lot of people right now, a lot of legal experts are starting to wonder if this might be the beginning of that cascading event, especially because NVIDIA is so central to our view of the whole AI ecosystem. Huge implications here, obviously. NVIDIA stock fell in after hours trading today following that report from the New York Times. There has been no comment from Jensen Huang or NVIDIA on this latest reporting. We'll turn now here and talk about our weather across the West and give you a live look at Port Angeles in Washington. People across Washington preparing for the threat of urban flooding along many of these coastal communities with a series of storms moving in over the next week or so. Let's talk more about what to expect here and bring in KTVU meteorologist Roberta Gonzalez. They got a decent amount of rain in the Pacific Northwest earlier this week. Some really serious storms headed to that area now. Yeah, but you said two things that caught my attention. Yeah, what's that? First of all, preparing. Yeah, sure. We need to prepare. Time to get ready. And I think I forgot the second thing. No, you said coastal areas. Oh, sure. Coastal areas are going to bear the brunt from... These systems and also the strong El Nino that is in the prediction as of right now. Now, this is our satellite and radar. As you take a look at it, you see the first system right there is queued up. It's ready to roll into the Pacific Northwest. I didn't see any measurable precipitation today from Seattle through Medford, but that's going to change in a hurry beginning tomorrow. In fact, we saw nearly a full inch of rain yesterday in the Seattle area, and that's what's going to make the difference. Yesterday, rain. No rain today. Big rain tomorrow. We need those breaks. Meanwhile, I'm forecasting up to three inches of rain by Friday evening anywhere from the Seattle area all the way into Medford. They have wind advisory, coastal flood advisories, high surf. Boy, they've had surf up to 33 feet. outside of the Oregon coast there. Seattle today, a high temperature of 55 degrees. Typically, you should be at 53 degrees this time of the year. Here is LAX at 78 degrees. Typically, you should be at 73 degrees, but we'll buy it. And then meanwhile, we head on over to Southern California, where we're anticipating waves, four to six feet. They could excel to seven to nine feet. Then we take you to the Bay Area, San Francisco. Average high is 65. Gorgeous day Today, gorgeous autumn day at 73, but now Beach Hazard statement. was issued after 10 o'clock this morning. It goes all the way to Friday afternoon. Now, tomorrow and Friday, waves up to 20 feet. But look what happens. We combine that with the rain over the Bay Area, up to 2 1⁄4 inches in the North Bay, but along the coast easily up to about... Shy of two inches in the Santa Cruz Mountains, that will cause some lapping of water on shore. We could potentially see some street flooding, but it's manageable. All this looks like beneficial rain as long as we get the breaks. Now, in Phoenix, 83 degrees today. That's pretty spot on for this time of year, typically around 78 degrees. And we just saw the beautiful Union Pacific Bridge there over Tempe. Now, take a look at this West Coast forecast. Here comes the first system here. It's raining in the Seattle area that backs off. We have rain lining the West Coast all the way towards. The San Diego area by Friday, we're in the rain and even some snow around the. The Cascades and the Siskiyou Mountains of Oregon, and then it slides over towards the Greater Lake Tahoe area, and you can see we're buying those breaks. Now, for Tahoe, we just mentioned them. We do have a winter storm watch in effect, up to about a half a foot of snow down to 6,000 feet, which is the base, above 7,000 to 7,500 feet. We could see two feet of snow, but very gusty winds. All right, take your pick. Seattle, Medford, San Francisco, Fresno, there you have your forecast. Now, let's share with you Denver, Yuma, Phoenix, and the Los Angeles area. area. Temperatures pretty close to where they should be, but just in and out of the rain along the coast here, Alex. Okay, Roberta, thank you. Well, it's far from business as usual for one clinic in North Phoenix after a series of strong storms damaged the practice. A hailstorm that we told you about at the end of October dealt the initial blow at SunPain Management. It remains closed after baseball-sized hail punched through the roof, causing flooding All throughout the clinic. Then the rain that followed poured right through the exposed ceiling, and now the work to rebuild is complicated by the fear of what the next storm might bring. The walls are all gutted. The ceilings are empty. All the ceiling tiles, all the insulation's down. We've got any equipment that we couldn't get out of there covered up the best we can to keep it dry. I'm a big guy. It's musty in there. You can't go in there without a hazmat suit and mask. Rainstorm after rainstorm, and with the one coming this weekend, I just don't know when we're going to get back in there and how much more damage is going to happen. Roughly 200 of the clinic's patients are being redirected to other clinic locations each day or offered virtual visits while those repairs remain stalled. Still to come here on West Coast Rap tonight, on this Veterans Day, we're hearing the stories of those who've served, including one Bay Area woman who played a crucial role during World War II. Somewhere along the way, the star was lost. I wish I still had it. On this Veterans Day, we are honoring those who have served our country. And tonight, we want to share the story of Florence Coyne McDonald. She paved the way for women in the U.S. military serving as a Navy commander during World War II. KTVU's Janet Katsuyama sat down with the veteran and has her remarkable story. On this Veterans Day, it looks like he's giving you some award for a star. Does it look like a star? It does. Oh, for heaven's sake, I know what that is. Florence Coyne McDonald might no longer be able to see these photos, but the snapshots of her long life are clear in her mind. Like this one, when an admiral in Japan gave her a star for her excellent service back in 1955. Because way out of proportion. Thank you. McDonald is a U.S. Navy veteran born more than a century ago. She grew up across the Mississippi from New Orleans, in Gretna, Louisiana. Her accent on instant recall, like many of her memories. She graduated from Tulane University in New Orleans. My degree I was a bachelor of arts with a major in mathematics. Florence was a force at a time when women had fewer career options. I didn't want to spend the rest of my life in the small city where I grew up. So the armed forces gave me the opportunity to travel around the world. She was among some 100,000 women with WAVES, the Women's Naval Reserve Unit. She says the decision to join the Army or the Navy came down to one basic thing. The women who joined the Army were issued khaki colored underwear. She says the Navy didn't care about underwear, so she signed up and was sent to study meteorology in Massachusetts. The Navy said, this is where you're going. And I said, aye aye. So I had a year of graduate school. At MIT, her meteorology expertise was critical to so many missions and led her to Washington, D.C. and Japan. And along the way, she picked up her nickname, Flip. Well, Florence Coyne became Flipper Coyne. Did you like your nickname? Yes. Thank you very much. I don't particularly like Florence and I do not answer to Flo. Hello. Flip's framed certificate in 1943 from the Secretary of State, Frank Knox, referred to Florence as him and his. And after 20 years of service, so does her Navy retirement certificate in the 1960s. She retired as a commander. Well, I was very pleased and very proud. And now, on this Veterans Day, looking back over a lifelong military career, Flip has one simple message. Do the best job you can when you're given an order and you say aye aye sir, mean it. Do the best you can. Jana Katsuyama, KTVU, Fox 2 News. Wow, an incredible life and career. We appreciate her service. At Arizona State University, the Pat Tillman Foundation has recognized four military veterans for their service and their continued impact even beyond the armed forces. This year's four Tillman scholars at ASU are pursuing degrees in fields including education, medicine, public health, and business. They will receive a $500 Dollar Scholarship. The program honors the legacy of Pat Tillman, a native of the Bay Area and former Arizona State and Arizona Cardinals football player who left his NFL career to serve as an Army Ranger. He was killed by friendly fire in 2004 while serving in Afghanistan. The foundation and the scholars as well as the community members who look at the applications look at two kind of anchors of the values that Pat lived by, which is service beyond self and leadership through action. And so every year we get to add 40 to 60 new Tillman scholars who have those values. The honorees were among 60 Tillman scholars chosen every year. The foundation accepts applications from all U.S. military service members, veterans, and spouses. Well, as food prices continue to rise, one in Washington is helping hundreds of military families put a traditional holiday meal on the table. The non-profit Operation Homefront set up a drive-thru and served about 400 military and veteran families yesterday in Bremerton. The group handed out drinks and $100 Walmart gift cards. The organization says this time of year can be a real challenge for military families financially and emotionally. This time of the year it's often very difficult for military families. They're far from their support systems, far from families. Some of them don't have their service members with them. Some of them are celebrating the holidays by themselves. Volunteers also gave out community resource information along with craft kits for kids that include dear Santa letters. Still ahead here on West Coast Wrap tonight, how a person wound up dying from bird flu. We'll show I'll show you how rare a case like this one is. In Washington, one person with underlying health conditions has died after contracting bird flu from infected dairy cattle. This happened in Yakima County. Fox 13's Taylor Winkle explains the symptoms the person was dealing with. This happened in Yakima County. The Yakima County Health District says the person had underlying health conditions, but they didn't release any other details like their age or gender all over privacy reasons. They are one of three people who've contracted avian flu from a dairy farm in Yakima just this year. The other two didn't have to be hospitalized, though. United Farm Workers believes, though, this is a vast undercount. They say workers report symptoms from mild upper respiratory infection with pink eye to severe flu symptoms with bone pain, severe cough and high fever. They say given the current and ongoing ICE surge in the Yakima Valley, many or most of the workers are reluctant to proactively engage with public agencies regarding what to do with infected cattle, milk. and risk mitigation. They say these workers are afraid of retaliation if they don't follow employers' instructions. The State Department of Health says this is the first year bird flu has spread through dairy herds. On their website, they have listed quarantine zones where they'd like flock owners to fill out a survey reporting how their flocks are doing. You might be wondering How somebody could get bird flu from a cow while as wild birds migrate over, For Washington, they can spread bird flu to our area, and when cattle come into contact with infected wild birds or those wild birds contaminate the cattle's environment, they can get the bird flu. Closer to home, a case of bird flu has been confirmed at a poultry facility in Pierce County. The State Department of Agriculture did not name the facility, but says this is the first case found in commercial poultry so far this year. There are several other cases and small backyard flocks reported in Kittitas County right now. CDC says person-to-person spread is extremely Extremely rare when it comes to bird flu and has never been documented in the U.S. Yes, the overall risk to the general public who doesn't work with poultry or dairy is low. For now, reporting in the newsroom, I'm Taylor Winkle, FOX 13 News. Well, on the central coast of California, one person has died and three children required intensive care because of an E. coli outbreak. Authorities in San Luis Obispo County, health officials there say all five people with confirmed infections all visited the same pumpkin patch, that's Brookshire Farms. They were there in late October. The county public health department says it believes the risk has now passed and they believe there is no ongoing threat to the public. Let's take you live to the Bay Area. A live look here at downtown San Francisco. And you're watching West Coast Wrap. All right, turning back now to our weather, a live look at the beach in Santa Cruz, California, the boardwalk right there. Things are dry and relatively calm here along the coast, but it's all about to change. A series of storms are poised to slam the West Coast over the next week or so, and those systems in the Pacific will trigger huge swells along the coast. For more on what to expect, let's bring in meteorologist Roberta Gonzalez with kind of a breakdown of things. We're going to see these storm systems that were sending a lot of rain to the Pacific Northwest kind of slide. Wide south here in the coming days, and everybody's going to get in on the action. Absolutely. We're going to concentrate a little bit this time around on the San Francisco Bay area, because when I calculated all the advisories, watches and warnings, certainly appears to be the spot. But you've got to keep in mind, as we go through the winter season, I do believe just about every week you're going to see a coastal flood advisory in effect, a beach hazard statement, and I think that is going to be the focus during our El Nino season. Those particular areas, and that has a lot to do with that Kelvin wave, which has expanded and warmed the waters offshore. So here we go right now. As you take a look at our West Coast forecast here, we're going to concentrate on your Thursday. So what I'm taking a look at is high noon, and you see the precipitation right there sliding up against. Oh, we just advanced ahead, didn't we here? But while we have the rain, Alex, and throughout the Pacific Northwest, what we're looking at is a winter storm watch in effect for the Greater Lake Tahoe area. Okay. This is early. This is people going over the hill for the weekend to the Greater Lake Tahoe area. You're going to need chains. We're talking about wind. Rain and also snow. Above 6,000 feet, which is the base of the Great Lake Tahoe area, we have a foot of snow that could possibly accumulate. And then above 7,000 feet, 12 to 20 inches. But again, winds in those higher elevations up to 90 miles per hour. Yeah. So that is incredible. Absolutely. How much rainfall are we expecting? In which areas are we kind of focused in on here for the heaviest rainfall totals? The big benefit of all of this is that if we see a storm every other day, it's not bam, bam, bam, because they're all lined up out there. But if we get hit every day, that's when you're going to see a lot of flooding, a lot of mudslides, a lot of landslides as well. But we're not going to see that right now. At least this first setup is a storm that will come in Thursday night into your Friday, and then it'll taper off on your Saturday. We'll have a break until Saturday night. So that really buys us a bit. Big, generous break. So, sure, we'll see some street flooding in areas like the San Francisco Bay Area. Los Angeles and Southern California not getting quite as hard from this series of storms. I'm talking about a parade of storms that are lined up all the way through Wednesday of next week. So it does take its toll, especially Friday. I think we're going to see the most wind in throughout the Pacific Northwest and also the San Francisco Bay Area. Up to 40, 50 mile per hour gusts. That could knock down some trees. Absolutely. It could knock down some power lines. Yeah, and enough. Just another reminder for folks if they're headed toward the coast to be really careful because we have some massive waves that are moving in. Last weekend, we saw 33-foot waves just off the Oregon coast. This time, all of that activity is sliding down towards the San Francisco Bay area. We're up to 30-foot waves are anticipated with that high surf advisory in place anywhere from, it goes into place on Friday all the way to Sunday morning, but it's already building 15-feet waves out there. Yeah, really scary stuff. Okay, Roberta, we appreciate it. Thank you very much. All right. In last week's election, voters in Arizona, Colorado, and Washington all passed ballot measures restricting the participation of transgender athletes in school sports. Now the ACLU is challenging Initiative 638, which was approved by voters in Washington. And at the same time, Seattle Public Schools also is planning legal action over that measure passed by the voters. For more, let's bring in KTVU's Heather Holmes, who has more on what we can expect next here in this legal fight. A lot of legal wrangling, Alex. That lawsuit was filed by the ACLU just yesterday. Washington's attorney general says his office will defend the new law, which was passed last week by 56 percent of voters. The measure requires all students in K-12 school sports provide a signed form from a medical... medical provider stating that the student is female. The ACLU is leading the legal fight. The plaintiffs are a non-profit organization based in Washington called Trans Families, the Washington Education Association, as well as parents of students who play in girls sports in public schools. Now they argue the language in the new law violates the Equal Rights Amendment of Washington's Constitution because it does not also require boys to undergo the same testing. In a statement, the ACLU said, quote, sports give young people a place to make friends and be part of a team, but Initiative 638 seeks to deny transgender girls those opportunities. We will fight to stop this law from taking effect and prevent this needless attack on our youth and our state. Now, the group Let's Go Washington, which supports the legislation, said in part, quote, they want boys and girls sports at all costs, and they are willing to undermine democracy to get them there. Girls leagues should have never become the all-purpose leagues that these organizations want them to be. And the vast majority of Washington state voters agree. We look forward to the Attorney General defending the law. enacted by Washington state voters. The ACLU is seeking emergency relief to try to block this law from taking effect, Alex, which is scheduled on December 3rd, so not a whole lot of time. Yeah, but no doubt a lengthy legal fight ongoing here with all of these measures we can expect. Okay, Heather, appreciate it. Thank you very much. In the Bay Area, a decades-old tradition was carried out at sunset tonight. Here is video from previous years when the beacon atop Mount Diablo in the East Bay. was lighted as a way of honoring those who have served in the U.S. military. And joining us now to talk more about this is retired Navy Commander Sean Gannon. We appreciate the time tonight, and we appreciate your service. Thank you for coming on with us. Tell us, what's the background here? How did this tradition get started? So the beacon on top of Mount Diablo was erected in 1928 as an aid to navigation, but after the attack on Pearl Harbor beginning in World War II, the beacon was established, so it couldn't be used for targeting our country. It was relit on Pearl Harbor Day in 1964. Admiral Nimitz, who accepted the surrender in Tokyo Harbor, said, you know what, we're going to light this beacon in honor of veterans on Pearl Harbor Day going forward. Five years ago, a joint proclamation was signed by local politicians and local veteran service organizations to light that beacon on Pearl Harbor Day, but also Memorial Day and Veterans Day going forward. Those are the three times of the year only that the beacon is lit, and they do it in honor of veterans. That's what we did tonight. Yeah, and so tell me about the community support that is behind this effort. Who are the organizations and the members of the community who make this all happen? There was a ton of support from the community. I don't recall there being any opposition to it. The Danville Town Council, Mark DeSaulnier, our local congressional representative, Rebecca Bauer Khan, our assembly district member, the veterans organizations like the American Legion, the Veterans of Foreign Wars, the Vietnam Veterans, they all came together. The Blue Star Moms who support deployed military members across the world, they all came together and they Signed this proclamation saying we should light this in support of veterans. This isn't for or against the war. This isn't any sort of political thing. This is just something that we want to do to honor veterans on these three days specifically. Yeah. What do you think it means for veterans in the Bay Area and beyond, I suppose for that matter, to see that beacon lit at the top of Mount Diablo on this day? I think when people see it, particularly veterans like myself, we see that and we say like, hey, people recognize us. They see what we've done. We have a very different history than the average citizen, and it means a lot that we get recognized for that. Yeah. So how long does it stay lit for here? So on those three days, we light it at sundown and it stays lit until the next morning when people from Save Mount Diablo and the local Beacon Boys organization go and they extinguish the light. Okay, and if people want to be a part of this effort in the future to light the beacon and support veterans in the Bay Area, what do they need to do? If they want to see it on Veterans Day or Memorial Day, they can show up to the Veterans Memorial Building in Danville about 20 minutes before sundown. We have a brief ceremony. There's a veterans speaker, the local mayor speaks, and then we light the beacon. On Pearl Harbor Day, it's run by the sons and daughters of Pearl Harbor survivors, usually at Cal State East Bay. And they have a larger ceremony at that point. And we've always had a keynote speaker who was a survivor at Pearl Harbor. Any of those ceremonies, the public is welcome. People can come. They can show their support. They can watch it. Yeah, I'm sure those are moving ceremonies. Well, we really appreciate you sharing more about this symbol honoring veterans in the Bay Area here atop Mount Diablo. That is retired Navy Commander Sean Gannon. Appreciate your time tonight. Thank you so much. Thank you. Take care. Much more to come here on West Coast Rap tonight. Police warning homeowners about a dangerous viral challenge that's now resurfacing and it's happening in neighborhoods across the West. In Southern California, police in Irvine are issuing a new warning about the viral prank known as the door kick challenge. Police say young people are kicking the front doors of strangers and then running off, all while recording everything on their phones. Police say not only can this cause property damage, but it could also lead to dangerous confrontations, as well as criminal charges and potentially people getting seriously hurt. In Arizona, the Phoenix Symphony is set to return to the stage tomorrow after financial issues led to the season being temporarily put on hold. Fox 10's Brian Webb has more now on the plan to allow musicians to resume performances. Symphony musicians are fine-tuning their performances down to the very last note and facing the music that the future is out of step, like Louis DiMartino on clarinet. A lot of emotion, and it's been very scary. I just moved here. I moved here one month ago. I started this job. I just won the job in May. This is a full-time job for these musicians, one after a lifetime of hard work. Then suddenly, all 66 were laid off. Management strung together enough funding through the end of the year, but it's clear they need to change their tune. The whole operation's back on track, how we can do it better, more efficiently, more cost-effectively. And just generating a sustainable model. The symphony survives on a mix of ticket sales, endowment earnings, and drumming up big donations. But now they're setting up what they call the American Symphony Commission. Eleven members, including business people from the community, trying to strike the right chord and thinking outside the box with their so-called Next Movement campaign. Oh, I want to run a 10K and donate it to the symphony. Oh, I want to get my friends together and have a little party and have it benefit the symphony. How can we open up so that our community can work together? In this high-stakes game of musical chairs are the musicians themselves, practicing their hardest and playing their best. But as for what comes next, they'll have to play it by ear. I always try to stay optimistic. You have to be in this career. Otherwise, you should just really do something else because it's just, you know, I mean, you're always dealing with stuff like this. But I am staying optimistic. I mean, it would be devastating not to be able to do it. And that was Fox 10's Brian Webb reporting for us from Phoenix tonight. In the Bay Area, the Oakland City Council has voted unanimously to extend its 45-day pause on data center construction. That moratorium was set to expire next week, but now it will last until next October. Leaders say this will give them time to better study the effects of data centers on the community, including their impact on city infrastructure and the surrounding environment. Dozens of Oakland community members also came to the council meeting last night to express their support for the extension. I want to know how much water and electricity these facilities will consume and how will they affect Oakland residents. I am concerned about the impact of our utility bills, our environment, our air quality, public health, the resources our neighbors depend on. We don't want any signs at all in Oakland. Oaklanders have been speaking. We want none of them. Cities all across the West Coast have implemented or are debating their own moratoriums when it comes to data center projects. Still ahead here on West Coast Wrap tonight, the newest member of the San Francisco 49ers out on the practice field today. Tonight, we'll introduce you to wide receiver Keenan Allen, who just arrived in a big trade. All right, let's talk some football here, and help has arrived for the San Francisco 49ers as they made one of the biggest splashes at the trade deadline, acquiring wide receiver Keenan Allen from the Indianapolis Colts. KTVU sports reporter Bailey O'Carroll shows us how Allen is getting adjusted to his new team. San Francisco 49ers dealt a sixth round 2027 draft pick to the Indianapolis Colts in exchange for wide receiver Keenan Allen. Allen said he was in talks with the Niners to potentially sign as a free agent in the offseason. He was not expected to be traded to San Francisco at the trade deadline. Came out of the office. GM brought me in. We just traded you to the 49ers. Go home, pack right away. Got me on a flight at 630. Got out here last night at 1130. Got to the hotel about 1215. Woke up, physicals at 5:45, so I'm running on just pure energy right now. I'm 7-1. A six-time Pro Bowler who's played 14 seasons in the NFL, everyone in the Niners' locker room was excited to add Allen. Watching him over the years, knowing what he can do on the field, he's a special player. Obviously, his resume speaks for itself. But, I mean, again, just adding good players to the team is always a plus, so we're fired up to have him. Let's add another shifty element to our room. He's been very productive within his 14 years, I think like 12,000 yards. So he's very productive to me. Football, he's always been as good as anyone at separating, as good at hands as anyone. Then how good he plays without the ball. I mean, he's a guy who blocks, who never takes a down off, is extremely competitive and a very smart, aware football player. Allen wants to play on Sunday. Adjusting to head coach Kyle Shanahan's offense, that'll take time. Definitely head spinning, whole new terminology, new way of thinking, and just got to hear it. Repetition after repetition, make sure I'm doing all the walk-throughs and extra walk-throughs with the receiver coaching. Allen played college football at Cal. Being back in the Bay is a homecoming. Obviously, you know, a lot of experience, a lot of Familiarity, you know, with the environment. He's happy to be back in the bay. As for what he's looking forward to about being back in the bay? Not really. I do got to go get me a cheese steak. It's been a minute since I had a little Philly cheese. From where? I don't know. There is a place downtown, though. It's like on a little hill. I went one time. It was fire. So I got to find it. I'm Bailey O'Carroll, KTVU, Fox 2 News. All right, Arizona Cardinals rookie quarterback Carson Beck will be starting for the team this coming Sunday, his first NFL start. Beck was selected in the third round of the 2026 NFL draft. Beck will be in for Gardner Minshew, who suffered a torn UCL in Sunday's game against the Seahawks. This week, the Cardinals have another tough task in front of them as they face off against the LA Rams. Here's Beck ahead of his first start. I mean, obviously, the biggest unknown is the result, and you can't ever be result-oriented in anything. So I think for us, especially us on offense, It's just being process-oriented, being process-driven and understanding that all we can do is run the play at hand regardless of the situation, whether it's first and ten, second and five, second and seven, third and eleven. Hopefully we're not in that. Third and two in the red zone on the five. What play are we going to? What's our first call? What's our second call, right? Just going one play at a time and really just focusing on the process is what we have to do. All right a big game coming up for him this weekend. Meantime Rams star wide receiver Puka Nakua will not go on the injured reserve after suffering a knee injury but Nakua will still miss a significant amount of time. He's currently dealing with sprains to two ligaments in his knee as well as turf toe. The good news for Rams fans Rams head coach Sean McVay says Davante Adams should be back by week 13 when the Rams face off against the Kansas City Chiefs.

Who will be taking the stage next year in the Southern California desert? The California Highway Patrol swooping in to help an injured hawk. This body camera footage captures the moment an officer rescued that injured bird along a highway in Oakland. The CHP posted the footage yesterday saying that several motorists reported the hawk was standing in the middle of traffic lanes. The officer brought the hawk back to the office where he kept it safe until it could be transported to a wildlife facility. It's still not clear exactly how the hawk got hurt or ended up in the middle of the highway.

Well, Thanksgiving dinner hasn't even made it to the table, but the race is already on in Utah to get that perfect Christmas tree. Fox 13's Julia Sandor has more on the rush in that state to secure a Christmas tree cutting permits before they run out. I know it might seem too soon but it's already that time of year to get your permit and go out to cut down a tree with the U.S. Forest Service. Here at the Heber Canyon Ranger District they've seen lines out the door and they're feeling the excitement ahead of the season. So what we'll need Is... a name and an address. Okay. It's been pretty much non-stop inside the ranger district. Yeah so it's going to be $20 cash only. And everyone's here for the same thing. And then here's your Christmas tree permit. An important orange slip that's the gateway to holiday traditions. Just like getting everyone together and going out and looking for the tree the whole The whole experience itself is like really fun, and my kids look forward to it like Literally every year. Marissa Boyer was among the hundreds of people who came to the Heber Ranger District on Tuesday to get a Christmas tree permit. I was like, hey, can you hold one inside? They're like, no, but if you hurry, you should be okay. So I came right after work, and I own Twisted Sugar in town, so I brought them cookies anyways just because they're awesome. And I love the fact that we can even do this. If you're wondering why she was worried. Elissa Lacombe with the Heber Camas Ranger District says it's no secret that they sell out quickly. It has been hectic and crazy. We had lines early as 5 a.m. yesterday selling permits. Today online sales went on at 8 a.m. and it sold out within six minutes or so. Talk about high demand. I seriously like... I woke up at midnight. They're giving out thousands of permits, and those permits give you access to half a million acres. You can choose a lodgepole pine, a white fir, a subalpine fir, and those three are the main three that you can cut. The rules are simple. Trees must be 20 feet tall or shorter. You must cut the stumps lower than 12 inches from the ground and cut and remove your tree by Christmas. The unwritten rule is simple, too. Bring hot chocolate and create memories. The most fun part would be Taking friends and just going up and bringing hot cocoa and, you know, finding that perfect Christmas tree and walking around and hiking with people I love, doing what I love. While the Heber Ranger Station still has a good stash of permits, they could be gone soon. If that's the case, Lacombe says to check out the Evanston Mountain View Ranger District. Thank you. Appreciate it. Have a good one. But before you grab your saw and head into the mountains, don't forget to buy a permit to create priceless holiday memories. In Heber City, Julia Sandor, Fox 13 News, Utah. Already getting ready for Christmas.
