Wow, this cash cam video was taken just after spacex launched a falcon 9 rocket from vendberg air force base. You can actually see the three cars get into the accident. Apparently because those drivers were distracted by the launch. This happened on interstate 10 in riverside county. Several Los Angeles Area news stations reported they received calls about distracted drivers. You can see why. Its a pretty spectacular sight. Keep your eyes on the road. Lets turn our attention to kari hall who has been tracking our weather. Look at that shot behind you. I was distracted by this. Look at the fog over San Francisco and just see the top of the transamerica pyramid. Beautiful scenery out there. Yesterday we had a little bit of fog over San Francisco. Right now weve really seen it return. Much deeper. And as we take a live look outside in san jose, its all clear here. And we will continue on with some sunshine throughout the rest of the day. So as we get out and about, we are looking at some of that fog rolling across twin peaks. Its starting to clear there and our temperatures are mostly in the upper 40s and lower 50s. Warming up the most now in san jose, where the temperature is at 54 degrees. As we look at our high temperatures today, some low 60s, up to 61 degrees in milpitas and light winds as we go throughout the rest of the day. Also a breezy wind kicking up from the north for the east bay, expect a high of 63 degrees in danville, oakland, 60 degrees. 60 degrees in redwood city. Cooler in San Francisco as well as some of the coastal areas where our highs will stay mostly in the 50s because of that fog. And in novato today, expect a high of 61 degrees. Lets talk about how much rain weve had throughout the month of december. And how that compares to normal. Now, if youve been watching, ive been keeping up with our rainfall deficit. The rainfall totals have not changed because we only had two days sop of rain and it really didnt bring us that much. Less than 0. 10 of an inch across most of the bay area. In santa rosa, were doing the worst because we normally get quite a bit of rain there. Lacking over 5 inches of rain now. In San Francisco, we need 3 1 2 inches of rain to catch up with our december normal. In oakland, we need almost 3 inches of rain. For livermore, 2 inches there, also about 2 inches in Mountain View and in san jose. So then we look at how much rain we are supposed to get. Several inches of rain. And this is usually one of the wettest times of the year. But january is normally our wettest month of the rainy season before we start to see those rainfall totals and what we normally get really start to dip as we go into spring. So looking at how much rain weve gotten, the bay area average, look at that, 03 of normal. We really do need some normal. We look at whats coming down the pike over the next few days. Absolutely nothing for us. Its still going to be really dry. Even though well start to see the return of that onshore flow and the clouds and fog that may be just enough to give us some mist and drizzle and add a little bit in some of those areas that have been really dry. As we go into next week, we take it through tuesday, january 2nd, into the start of the new year. We start to see the pattern opening up just a bit. So hopefully well get some rain in here. Were focussing on whats going to happen new years eve. There is the potential that we could have this fog rolling in in time for the fireworks. So thats something ill be keeping an eye on.

A spokesman tells nbc thats a significant uptick this month, a month when the agency has come under fire from the president and some lawmakers. Do you think thats appropriate for the president . Im very concerned that the doj and the fbi, whether you want to call it deep state or what, are kind of off the rails. Reporter the former acting cia director disturbed by that kind of talk.

It was a very unusual guest host, prince harry of wales. The interview was actually shot last september in toronto. It was done for the bbc with prince harry as kind of a guest host. The interview touched primarily on the president s feelings about social discourse in the u. S. , the president s ambitions for the future, his life since leaving the white house and some of the most revealing questions really dealt with the legacy president obama felt he left behind and how he felt upon leaving office. The sense that there was a completion and that we had done the work in a way that preserved our integrity and left us whole, and that we hadnt fundamentally changed, i think was a satisfying feeling. Now, that was mixed with all the work that was still undone and concerns about how the country moves forward. But, you know, overall, there was serenity more than i would have expected.

The first thing we want to do is push the button on it just to test the battery and the audible portion of the alarm. Not working. This detector does not work. So the one in your bedroom is not working. No. Whats that like to see . Its upsetting because thats the first place were going to hear it if its going to go off.

No battery. I probably used it on something else. Reporter but the biggest tip of the day, on ive never heard before, inside this mans house, he thinks his detector works fine because when he tests it beeps. When that alarm sound it is tells me two things, that your battery is good and that the alarm works. But he says what it doesnt test is the sensor that actually detects smoke. Your detector was manufactured in 2002. Its about 15 years ago. Were going to have to change them out every ten years. Why . Dust starts blocking the sensor and it can no longer see smoke. You wouldnt know it. No problem, he says there is an easy way to test the sensor. T the candle test. Light a candle and blow it out, place your alarm over the smoke and it should go off. Its not going off. This blows your mind a little. It does. I just put a battery in it a couple of days ago and it started chirping. We helped. Reporter sounding the alarm so your family stays safe. Thank you so much get information there, jeff rossen reporting and firefighters did replace smoke detectors from when you saw in that story who didnt have one.
