if you prefer dry land of the high seas, you can have a nude wedding in italy, the people behind the weddings say you need to do things right now to show your freedom. my sense on this is that the fantasy of what the nude thing is going to be, it's never the people that you would want to see. there it's others that are whatever. >> i think you should stop there right now. >> no, i did stop. >> that's why i did stop. i did, i did, and interesting. >> i mean, this is norwegian. that's the cruise liner, right. interesting. okay. i mean, also they have spas there too, right? where people do they have to wear clothes? maybe they're more just freer about it. you know, i don't know, i don't know zach. >> look like looks like he wants a comment, i just have questions about, you know, sanitary things, and i know we're dressing for dinner on this cruise, but i have other questions with that, i don't know, but to each their own, you know, just, you know, there's a

golden girls episode that's coming to mind right now. anybody out there who knows golden girls knows exactly what i'm talking about. it wasn't on a cruise ship, but there was something about this. and that's just all that's coming to mind right now. i don't have much more to say this. although, larry, you said what you said, and i can't say i disagree. >> as long as no cameras are allowed on that cruise ship. >> i guess the other thing, okay, italy is banning the popular wellness trend of puppy yoga. >> now you know how it works, right? puppies typically roam around a yoga class and are sometimes part of the poses, downward dog. hello. it's cute, for sure, but italy's health ministry says it may not be the best for the pups. they say keeping them out of class is better for everyone's well-being. sandhya, you got some thoughts on this? what do you think? looking at the pictures? >> look, i mean, people love their dogs and they love taking their pets everywhere i get. you know why italy is saying, hey, let's not bring your dogs here. but i mean, shouldn't it be an option for dog owners as to whether they can bring them or not? >> i don't know, i mean, how would they know what the dogs are thinking or feeling? yeah. i mean, you know, if the dog would

run away if he didn't want to be in a yoga pose, if he didn't, if the dog didn't want to do downward dog, he would not do it unless he was super well trained. so how about just, you know, worry about things that are important and puppy yoga, i don't think is one of them. i mean, it's fun, but it's not. you know, we don't need legislation about it. you see, speaking of dogs, boston dynamic, they have robot dogs used for a bunch of things like search and rescues, also policing. they're just terrified thing. normally now they're trying to make them seem a little bit friendlier. boston dynamics revealed this blue furry costume for the robot dogs. now, i have to admit, when i first was shown this video, i thought, oh, they dressed up an actual dog in a like a larger furry costume. and then i looked at the feet and then i realized, oh, that's another robot. so it's there's two robots that are kind of just, you know, they could be doing robot yoga for, you know, for all we know. do you think or. i mean, they're very cute until they're weaponized, but this is then and

then it's a different feel. so what do you guys like? the one on the left or the one on the right? the furry or the metallic? >> i like, i like the furry. see, i'm the opposite. >> the furry one's creepy to me. and then the legs. i don't know the top part isn't creepy, but then the legs, it's just like, what is that? yeah, i could see how little kids might be creeped by the one that's furry. >> so, zach, would you prefer if the legs had fur all the way, like head to toe fur? is that is that good? >> i mean, maybe, but the coloring is weird, too. imagine that thing coming around the corner just would terrify me. >> yeah. fur? no fur for that matter. thank you. that's it. for the for the

tells us the driver is armed, wanted for shooting at somebody this morning along highway 101 in windsor, sa. the signal is breaking up a little bit. right now, interstate 80 is shut down in the eastbound and westbound directions near cordelia junction, and we'll continue to monitor their situation as having a major impact on traffic in that area. >> flooding is intensifying in texas after several days of strong storms and heavy rainfall. look at this. mandatory evacuations are in effect in parts of houston and the surrounding area. some communities north of houston picked up nearly two months worth of rain just yesterday. it's led to flooding that is

sweeping away vehicles and causing a lot of damage to homes . >> weather in texas can be really volatile, right? >> right. well weather here, nothing like that. but we are getting some rain back. >> sandyha patel is here with that. yeah, absolutely. >> we'll get some rain back. i want to show you the national radar. severe thunderstorms, larry and kristin erupting across parts of texas right now. they have seen intense rainfall rates. as you just mentioned, tornado watches and severe thunderstorm watches are going through late tonight. we're looking at a live picture from zephyr cove. it is really quiet up there. lots of sun, but that's going to be changing. turns stormy tomorrow. it's going to be a rain snow mix and windy. so tomorrow is not a good day to travel. sunday. slight chance of some morning showers and then sunshine. mostly sunny and nice weather on monday. so here's a look at the sierra snow totals by sunday afternoon. we're talking over two feet for kirkwood and donner. if you're heading up, carry those chains. be prepared for travel delays. i here in the bay area, we're going to have some rain beginning tomorrow morning. continuing through tomorrow afternoon and then switching

over to scattered showers before this system gets on out of here in time for your sunday plans tomorrow afternoon, mid 50s to low 60s. much cooler. it's going to be breezy to windy. it's a level one for saturday. cinco de mayo is sunnier but cold in the morning. larry. >> all right. thank you. sandia volunteers here in the bay area and around the world have been busy documenting millions of living creatures. this is part of a worldwide challenge. as abc seven news meteorologist drew tuma explains, they're helping to expand the way global science works. this >> you can't miss the dramatic view at pillar point near half moon bay, but look a little closer and you just might discover a hidden world at this little hermit crab right here, hermit crabs are what i like to call opportuni boars. they will eat whatever they can come across that they can pick up with their claw and fit in their mouth. >> armed with cell phone cameras, allison young and a team from the california academy of sciences joined a small army of volunteers in what's now become an international competition. it's known as the city nature challenge, and the

goal is to photograph and identify as many plant and animal species as possible in a matter of days. >> oh, i want to touch it, but i will not. >> we found a bunch of sea stars. always fun to find them out in the mussel beds. little sea slugs, lots of anemones out there as well. i think that's a moon glow anemone. different species. >> the events started nearly a decade ago as a friendly competition between san francisco and los angeles. but biodiversity and community science coordinator olivia van damme says it's now taken off around the globe from philippines to madagascar and to kazakhstan. >> and it's just really incredible. we're actually have people organizing and doing this challenge in all seven continents, including antarctica . >> organizers described the movement as community science volunteer peers use a platform called inaturalist to upload images of their specimens. researcher rebecca johnson says the massive data is already making an impact, and there have

been about 1.6 million observations and those data are critically important for me. >> but then for scientists to also other scientists to understand the distribution of plants and animals across the globe, the academy regularly tracks endangered populations like the sunflower, sea star and local kelp forests, both hit by rising ocean temperatures. >> the work is often as painstaking as it is vital, but perhaps made easier in the future with the help from a growing army of volunteers. >> this big understanding of where plants and animals are found come from the city nature challenge at pillar point, drew tuma abc seven news. >> the total number of observations scheduled to be announced later this month. you have to look closely for those tiny little critters. >> all right. today or actually make it tomorrow is star wars day, may 4th, and disney is celebrating. >> may the 4th be with you all. >> may the fourth be with you, i love it. >> the newest star wars show
