Transcripts For KTVU KTVU Mornings On 2 At 7am 20161215

Moment. Welcome back to mornings on 2. It is a busy morning. I just ducked out. Even my wind was blowing in the wind. It looks good. Im dave clark. Steve paulson is right over here. Your forecast is an interesting one. Its not going to hit until later except for the north bay. The evening commute will be far worse. It is pouring up in the Russian River area and points north. Ive had isolated areas of three to five inch amounts. San francisco, oakland should be around 10 00 to 2 00. Maybe a little later. East bay, 2 00 to 4 00. I cannot keep up on the rainfall rates. 3. 21. St. Helena over an inch of rain. Occidental over an inch. So its in the north bay. Eventually it will work its way south. When you see yellyand green on the returns, that means really heavy rain. Reports of three to five inches of rain. Everybody will be getting in on rain and wind. Wind advisories. There are advisories for the burn areas. And in the mountains it is wind and snow. Snow will be later on. Right now its the wind. Gusts up to 100 Miles Per Hour in the passes. It is cranking up and it will continue to do so over the next four to six hours. Until the front arrives. So that will be until this evening. I think its a wind event for many. The rain will eventually make it. It doesnt mean there is not rain in advance of it. 50s and 60s on the temps. Then the wind will pick up. Thats what is heading towards us. If you dont have the rain yet, it will get there, even south. 50s 0 and 60s on the temps. It is brutal up on the 101. It is. Other parts of the bay area are not seeing it yet. According to steve, you just heard the man, it will be coming in at the bay bridge. Probably the busiest commute. It is not raining yet. The traffic is moving along slowly. It is a normal commute which is to say it is slow traffic. Traffic will be busy here in the Santa Rosa Park area. We dont see a lot of stop and go traffic. We see traffic in petaluma that will be slow. Lets go to the south bay. Northbound 101 at tulle, there is a crash. If we can go back to the map on northbound 101, i can point out that northbound 101 is very heavy approaching tulle road. If you know your way around get off on city streets and go over to 82 and up that way to avoid this problem at tulle road. Lets go back to alex in the north bay. He has been driving around, finding rain. This time, where are you, alex . Reporter were in ronner park. It has just been the steady drizzle for the entire time weve been here but it is creating slick conditions. That is of course leading to various crashes in the area. The chp staying quite busy. Were just off of highway 101 south of gulf coast drive. The chp clearing up a twocar crash. One of the cars came off of the freeway. This accident happened about 6 15 this morning. You can see that a gray honda veered off the road and took out a sign. The honda hit some sort of debris in the roadway on the 101, sheet metal, slid out of control, hit another car and then both cars veered off of the roadway. The good news in all of this, neither of the drivers were hurt. Just damage as the car plowed through a highway sign and through the fence as well. The chp working on getting everything cleared in this area. Of course this is just one of many crashes that the chp and local police are dealing with up in this area. As we bring you back out to the live picture, you can see the rain is not falling in any sort of significant way in this area. But the roadways are wet enough that the driving conditions are very dangerous. Youre going to want to give yourself as we like to say extra time. Give yourself plenty of room between your car and that car in front of you. Just in case they have to stop, youre able to stop as well without sliding out of control. We will send it back to sal. Ill take it from here. Dave. Gasia. It is not a two second rule today, it is a four second rule. Good advice. Preparing for flooding at 17th and folsom in the mission district. The Public Utilities commission is installing flood barriers to try to stop the water from getting into the buildings in the area. They are accepting out a team of arborists to deal with branches or trees falling. Check the weather conditions any time through our ktvu weather app. Also on twitter, instagram and facebook. You drivers already paying 5 to drive across most bay area bridges. Soon you may be asked to pay even more. Christien kafton at the bay bridge now. Tell us about a proposal to raise tolls by as much as three bucks. Good morning, christian. Reporter yeah. Good morning, dave. That would be a big bite. The idea is just an idea. Take a look at the bay bridge toll plaza. Drivers are starting to pay that peak toll right now of 6. The idea would be to increase the toll on bridges like the bay bridge to Fund Improvements throughout the bay area. They started discussing the idea on wednesday. The plan could add one, two or three dollars on the bay bridge, dumbarton bridge and carquinez bridge. It would solve major transportation issues like widening roads. Drivers say they would need more information before deciding one way or the other but they would like to see improvements. It needs a lot of work. Theres pothole thats are mind altering and bone jarring all over the place. So i would say that if its going to really go to the roads and immediately, we need it. I guess it definitely would affect me. Thats like 3 would almost be a 50 increase. So i would hope that it would make it work way better. Reporter now, this is very much in the preliminary stages. The mtc could start discussing the idea and pitching it possibly to ledge late ores. They will start discussing it next month. Then it has to go to the legislature. Voters would have their say in 2018f it went into place, it would go into place sometime after that. All right. Christien kafton at the bay bridge toll plaza. Thank you. So we want today know how much of a difference this toll increase would make on the regular commuters expenses. Right now they pay about 1,500 a year on the bay bridge. If the 3 increase happens, they would pay 2,200 a year in tolls. That is an extra 750. Thats not far off from other commuting options. Daily ac transit riders on the same route pay 2,100 in fares. Bart riders pay about the same amount. Ferry riders pay about 3,500 a year. How much does it cost you to get to work . We know many of you have very long commutes. Sal is always covering that super commute in the Early Morning hours. We want to hear from you especially. Whatever your drive or ride into work is, let us know by posting a comment to facebook or tweet us using our hashtag tvu. There is now concern that russian president putin was personally involved in interfering with the u. S. President ial election. A new report suggests two senior u. S. Intelligence officials have, quote, a high level of confidence that putin wanted to affect the election outcome. According to the reports he had two reasons. One, a vendetta against Hillary Clinton and undermining the election to show American Allies they cannot depend on the united states. Ktvu interviewed eric about the allegations. A first world adversary was able to hack into email accounts, hack into databases. It is concerning. Congressman says since president elect donald trump is discounting u. S. Intelligence reports about russia, there is a need for outside experts to examine the issue and make a final determination on what happened and the extent of any hacking. At the high tech summit in new york that president elect donald trump held with tech leaders, they told them they already have something to thank him for, a rise in tech stocks since the election. Youre doing well right now. Im very honored by the bounce. Theyre all talking about the bounce. So everybody in the room has to like me a little bit. Among those at the meeting yesterday, apple ceo tim cook, and google cofounder larry page. Most of them supported Hillary Clinton in the president ial campaign. Donald trump says he wants to help their companies do well. And he promised he would negotiate fair trade deals that make it easier for them to do business with other countries. Now, tesla ceo muss being who was at the new york meeting and uber ceo travis are joining donald trump strategic and policy forum group. That Advisory Group now has 18 members. It also includes the heads of pepsi, jpmorgan and disney. The time is 7 11. It is the only building that stands on a crumbling cliff side in pacifica. The fate of the condemned apartment complex as the big storm heads our way. Also an arctic blast pounding the northern half of the u. S. The bone realitying windchill temperatures being felt today. Welcome back to mornings on 2. Schools in portland, oregon are closed today after a snowstorm brought the city to a halt. Up to five inches of snow is expected by midnight. The streets, look at them, clogged with traffic yesterday afternoon. Some drivers just gave up, abandoned their cars. Portland doesnt use rock salt on the roads for environmental reasons and because it rarely snows. The rail system worked all night giving rides and preventing ice buildup out there. You think about chicago, washington, d. C. , detroit. Those cities expect snow. They have the equipment and the personnel. When it happens in portland, we dont have anything for this. That is true. Same thing for seattle. If it happened here it would be crippling. We would be in trouble. Thank you, gasia and dave. We get pretty good rain already. It is getting very close now. Moving into parts of marin county. For the north bay, i cant emphasize enough, there are reports, i thank you up in the north, it is pouring. It is pouring. Man, it is coming down in buckets. Some of this will hit the coast and bayside by 10 00. Im talking about the main core of the front. The east bay. Peninsula, 2 00 to 6 00. It doesnt mean that you wont get rain beforehand. I try to keep up on these. I literally cannot. Cloverdale over an inch. Hillsberg over an inch. Occidental probably is by now. And san rafael. 65. It was brought to my attention by jim. He says im at the santa fe yacht club, is something wrong. No a lot of it has to do with terrain and wind and proximity to mount tam and the bay. Cody is up in ukiah. Two and a quarter since 10 00 p. M. Last night. It is still coming down in buckets. A couple of isolated three to five amounts. This is the heaviest rain right now. Just beginning to move in. That is torrential. West of hillsberg. When you start to see that light up. That is moving into the Russian River. Beginning to move in along western marin county. Inverness and moving towards mount tam. So just give it time. It is on its way. It is still a little off the coast from San Francisco and the san mateo coast. But it is picking up. Some of the moisture is taking aim at the Santa Cruz Mountains. All sorts of advisory. I cant keep up. Mainly wind today or flash flood watches for some of the burn areas. A combination of the wind and rain will give us a busy day. South of 24, southeast. Look for the gusts to be about 35, maybe 40 before everything is said and done. It is warm. Cold air doesnt arrive until tomorrow. Screaming up from the west southwest, see how things are juiced up. This low is tapped into tropical moisture. You take that warm parcel and you lift it and cool and condense it, this is a classic setup for some two to the north and the lifting of the moisture over the Santa Cruz Mountains. 50sand 60s. I think im going to sal s that right . Here i am, steve. Here he is, mr. Sal castaneda. Thank you, steve. No problem. No traffic out of the ordinary but people are asking about this afternoons commute. You heard the man, it is not likely to be a great afternoon commute because of the wind and rain. This is highway 24. Busy in lafayette and orinda as you drive to the tunnel and to the oakland side. Traffic will be just a little slow. But you will see slow traffic also on 580 at 24 and that whole area. Now, if we go to the bay bridge toll plaza, you can see the traffic is backed up for about a 15 to 20minute delay before you make it on to the bridge. It was better than yesterday when we had the problems on the span and on 80. Those problems are gone. Lets go to the south bay here. Im looking at northbound 101 coming up on tully road. This crash has been blocking lanes. Its a good idea to get on after tully. That its not look back. 280 looks slow after 17. And 85 slows from about the guadalupe exit and pockets through saar towing a the commute in general is looking rather nor malish. That will change once the rain hits. Lets go back to the desk. Thank you, sal. A chilling 1911 call played in north carolina. Im afraid. Where are you. Where are you inside the church . Up next, you will hear more of the final testimony from the only person, the only survivor of that South Carolina Church Shooting as the trial begins to wrap up. The nfl is delaying its decision on the fate of the oakland raiders. Why that works in the favor of fans who hope the team will remain in oakland. Im at higher risktwice as likfor depression. Troke. Im 26 more likely to develop an irregular heartbeat. I have a 65 higher chance of developing diabetes. No matter who we are, these diseases can be managed or prevented when caught early on. Because with better research, the right medicine, and with doctors who help keep me healthy to begin with, we will thrive. 7 21 now. Traces of explosives have been found on some of the victims have an egyptair flight from paris that crashed into the Mediterranean Sea in april. This is according to a statement from the Civil Aviation ministry today. The crash killed all 66 people on board and came 7 months after a russian passenger plane was blown up over the peninsula in an attack claimed by isis. No one has claimed responsibility for bringing down the egyptair plain. Egypt will begin a criminal investigation into the crash. Closing arguments are scheduled in South Carolina today in the murder and hate crime trial of the man accused of shooting and killing nine people at a historic African American church. Yesterday, a survivor of that shooting, poly shepherd, testified that the churchs pastor had welcomed 22yearold dylann roof to join their Bible Study Group and then roof started shooting as they bowed their heads for the closing prayer. Shepherd came facetoface with the gunman but he spared her life so she could tell the story. The jury heard a 911 call made by ms. Shepherd. Youre in the lower level. Where is the shooter. He is in the office. Please send somebody. Please send them. I have officers in route to you. Dont hang up with me. You stay as quiet as possible. Do you hear me. Yes. Im under the table. Dylann roof was charged with 33 counts, including murder, hate crimes, and obstruction of the practice of a religion. Roof calls himself a white supremest. He says he chose that church to attack black people without security. If convicted he faces a possible death sentence. Officers received a call just before 9 00 p. M. About gunfire at a 76 gas station at 98th and edes avenue. Two people had been shot. One person died at the scene. The other person died at the hop. At this point no arrests have been made. Authorities are withholding the names of the victims until their families are notified. Californians that are already own guns can be subject to the same waiting period as those applying for guns. The cooling off period was unnecessary for people who already own a gun. The judge on the 9th Circuit Court did not agree, saying the waiting period is reasonable. Someone who has a hunting rifle but wants to buy a high capacity weapon, a 10day off period may prevent the person from carrying attack. Next the red flags in the past that were missed when he was hired. Officials in pacifica say there is an urgent need to tear down an apartment complex so it doesnt fall into the ocean. Good morning, we have still slow traffic. For most people, we havent been dealing with rain. Although highway 24 is beginning to slow down on the way to the tunnel. Well, for some, especially north, its been coming down in bucketed. For others, it has been windy but cloudy. The rain is on its way. It has moved into marin county now. my hero zero by lemonheads zero really can be a hero. Get zero down, zero deposit, zero due at signing, and zero first months payment on select volkswagen models. Right now at the volkswagen sign then drive event. At t. J. Maxx, marshalls and homegoods, weve always believed the holidays should be about joy. Where days are filled with magic, not madness. Its why we have amazing prices on thoughtful gifts, everyday. Lets bring back the holidays. 7 27. This is an awfully pretty picture in pacifica. As we shift our view a little bit, you can see there is yellow tape up and there is trouble here along esplanade avenue in pacifica. You see a lot of workers and mass i can and rock set and rocket up. Who is going to pay for the teardown of the building. It was evacuated earlier this year. We will bring janine de la vega in to talk about this dynamic scene on the peninsula. And there is weather to talk about throughout the bay area. That is for sure. I just stepped outside. It is cold. Right. And the wind is picking up. I was telling steve were already getting light rain outside of our studio. There will be rain. Im talking about the main front where the heavy rain is. There is rain out ahead of it. The breeze has cranked up. We have been talking about this for three or four days. It has arrived. It has arrived in all of its glory. It hasnt decreased. It is on track for a windy, rainy day. This will be extremely heavy for a short period of time. There are already wind advisories out. The warm sector is coming in. Again, it is raining before these times. The front itself, i mean, if you think this is rain, wait until the front arrives. People north of santa rosa, is it already coming down in buckets. Even hours for the best bet for the heaviest rain. It doesnt mean that there isnt rain already moving into santa cruz. There is. Im talking about the front itself. The Russian River, middle town, an inch and a third. Cloverdale, it is pouring. Hillsberg likewise. Occidental, santa rosa, san rafael just to name a few. Frank, check my weather station. 1. 14 inches of rain in the last 24 hours. Here comes my system. The green, darker green and yellow, that is the heavier rain. Ukiah, pouring up there. Also areas into clearlake. The system is inching into western Sonoma County and marin county. And then it will start to move to the east and the south. It doesnt mean that the rain is not here. Look in the Santa Cruz Mountains. It is getting juiced up there. The front itself will be late arriving for many. Steady rain ahead of it. Some of this is surging towards the santa cruz mountain. All sorts of advisories. The wind is a big factor in the sierra this morning. Wind and changing flood advisories around here. Take your pick. It is out of the south. 35 to 50 in the higher elevations. It will be a blustery day. The sierra will be rain until tonight. Then snow. Get ready for a cloudy, rainy and windy day. The bulk of the rain is still hours away for many. It will take a while to get here. 60s for many on the high temperatures. The lows are in the 60s. The highs in the 60s. Tomorrow will be cold. Great day to stay home. Absolutely. I think i will. Watch some sporting event. And dont go outside. Read a book. Read a book. Whats that . Okay. Yes. Read a book. Read a book. Good morning, everyone. All kidding aside. It will be a tough drive, you heard the man, this afternoon. Were going to get you ready for it. Right now the bay bridge looks normal. 20, 25 minute delay. Chp is asking us to warn you about the gusty winds. It is a normal commute. I am seeing rain drops start to pop up on the windshield of the camera here. I saw one or two while i was speaking. No major problems yet. This is interstate 680 in oakland. Things are starting to slow down. I use this camera during storms. It is starting to shake. You may not be watching but you can see it bouncing around. That means the high winds are arriving and the slow traffic is arriving too. A crash at 101 and tully. Traffic is backed up into the south valley. Then its okay up to the west valley. 85. A lot of people have heard about the crash and they are on 85. That is slow up to cupertino. Back to the desk. City leaders in pacifica will meet and talk about tearing down an Apartment Building that sits on a crumbling cliff. Janine de la vega is in pacifica. Tell us more about this. Reporter dave, the building right behind me, this apartment complex here on esplanade, that is what the city wants to tear down. There is new bluff erosion next to it. You can see work crews here. Theyre here and have the whole area blocked off because there is a sink hole that opened up on the beach path here. It opened up earlier this week. And in january of this year, thats when the city determined the apartment complex located at 310 was uninhabitable due to coastal erosion. Everyone was evacuated and they say the owner has neglected the property. They worry the complex will crumble over the eroding cliff and crumble into the water. It has been determined that it needs to be demolished as soon as possible. The building there is a bit of an eyesore. I dont think anyone will give grief to it being demolished. But the beach access, if it isnt fixed, a lot of people will consider moving. Reporter the two buildings adjacent to that complex have already been taken down. The owner of 310 has filed for bankruptcy and the city is working with his attorney to get access to the site. With all of the storms coming, the city is closely monitoring the cliffs. They get pounded hard every time a storm comes in. It is accelerating the erosion here on the bluff. They will be meeting at 10 00 in City Council Chambers to discuss this and what the next course of action will be and when they can get this building torn down and who is really going to pay for it. Janine, i can see how windy it is in pacifica for you. Correct . Reporter yeah. It is windy and chilly out here. Im worried my hat is going to blow off. Thank you, janine de la vega. You can check weather conditions any time with the free ktvu weather app. Find Steve Paulson and the rest of our weather team on twitter, instagram and facebook. A benefit concert last night for the families of the victims of the ghost ship warehouse fire in oakland was a sellout. The show featured a total of 20 artists. It was headlined by primus. This kind of show would normally take months to put together. This one came together in less than two weeks. All of the fire victims were honored with special remembrances for some musicians. We actually have cash performing a song in tribute to him. If you dont know someone directly, you know someone who knew someone who died in the fire. Nearly 700,000 has been pledged to the oakland fire relief fund. This event really pulls together the community in a way they havent experienced before. They hope that feeling doesnt fade with time. A public feud that erupted days after the ghost ship warehouse fire is over. It started when there was a News Conference that angered some artists. She wanted the warehouse to be brought into compliance. The artists living there felt she was trying to get them evicted. That led to a shouting match and hate filled comments on facebook. Now the two sides are supporting each other. One of the first things i would like to say is to apologize for misinterpreting your intentions when i first came in. We have been meeting ever since we had that last press conference, getting to know each other. Just yesterday the Oakland Fire Department conducted an insex of the salt lick building. The Restaurant Owner says she use today live in a warehouse. Her big concern is for the safety of the residents. A tennis coach in the south bay who is a registered sex offender is now accused of molesting his students. 61yearold matt montana is facing 31 charges. Investigators say he sexually abused two girls between 2006 and 2013 while teaching at the Sunnyvale Tennis Center. The operators of the center didnt know that montana was police stationed on the megans law website for sexually assaulting patients while working as a chiropractor. Authorities found the latest cases when one of the girls told a friend about being molested. My children are in sports. I havent looked up their coaches to see what their background is. I guess it is eye opening and a good reminder that as a parent we need to be doing that. Now, the Sunnyvale Tennis Center is owned by the city but run by a subcontractor. Investigators say when a new operator took off and had tougher background checks, montana left the Tennis Center and started giving private lessons in sunnyvale, san jose and cupertino. Authorities believe there may be more victims. President elect donald trump has chosen montana congressman ryan zinc to be secretary of the interior. Some environmentalists have expressed concerns. He has called the belief that humans have caused Climate Change not proven science. The evacuation of the last rebel enclave in aleppo is going on in syria. Hundreds of people started to board buses to leave aleppo, including many sick and wounded. There are late reports of violence across the city during the evacuation, despite the latest ceasefire deal. The time is 7 38. Covered california extending the deadline it sign up for a Health Insurance plan that begins january 1st. Now, the original deadline was tonight at midnight. But it has been extended until the midnight saturday. In the past couple of days, more than 25,000 people have signed up for a plan through covered california. Now, because of that high demand, the deadline has been extended. Open enrollment will continue to run until the end of january. But coverage will start in february or march for people who sign up after saturday. It looks like we will have to wait long tore find out about the future home of the oakland raiders. Envelope owners met to consider proposals in oakland and las vegas. It was believed they would vote in january. It anow appears that a relocation vote wont happen until march. That gives east bay leaders and ronnie lott more time to work on the proposal of building a stadium on current coliseum property. So far though it doesnt appear the league is impressed with this plan. The nfl says oakland hasnt made much progress and officials worry that the league will be on the hook for paying for the stadium. One post office in sacramento has become the north pole of Northern California with a very special christmas program. Program. Santa, my parents cant afford to give me Christmas Presents on their disability. Every Holiday Season the workers at this post office put in extra hours to make the dreams of many needy children come true. They read the kids letters to santa and accept donations from those who want to cheer up the Holiday Season with toys. Some of the letters to santa are heart breaking. My dad is in heaven. And i want to know, can you please help us. Please call grandma. Christmas morning somebody who wont be able to open a Christmas Present will know that someone loves and cares them and the belief in santa will stay alive. Gasia. I know. This year more than a thousand letters have poured into the sacramento post office. Workers are doing their best to respond to all of them. Getting gifts in time for the holidays, getting them to where they need to go. Yeah. 8 00, the deadline is happening today that will no doubt create long lines at the post office. Walking around instead of sitting in a classroom. Very unusual lesson plan in science, social studies and other subjects at schools in colorado. It is slow out there. Although we dont have a lot of weather interfering with the commute so far. Its not your typical rainy commute yet. This afternoon may change that. But right now the east shore looks pretty good heading out to the maze. Well, windy for some. Just flat out pouring rain, especially to the north, for others. The system is working its way slowly south. I cant emphasize how heavy rain has been over Mendocino County, lake county and santa rosa north. It is all moving south. She will take over for Antoine Wilson who is heading up in the washington, d. C. Public school system. One School District in colorado springs, colorado is trying something new to help children learn better without getting distracted. It is called the walking classroom. Instead of sitting at desks, the Students Walk around in the gym or outside. They listen to pod casts on lessons in science, social studies and other subjects. All of the classes are very energetic. We dont like sitting in the classroom for more than two hours. I thought the kids would be distracted. But i found after even the first one, they remembered quite a bit of what they had listened to. Teachers say the walking helps get the oxygen to the kids brains. That in turn helps students remember the information they hear. Right now two fourth grade classes are testing this walking classroom once a week. But more classes may join in in the spring time. I love that idea. Walk. I love it. Good Old Fashioned walking. Not a good day to be walking today. Many people will be doing it later undaunted by the weather. No matter the weather out here in california. Yes. Im going always going to see one guy in shorts. Yes. Just one guy. Yeah. I dont know what that is. At least one. Most people will not be out walking or wearing shorts. Except for shorts guy. Lets take a look at highway 24 westbound as you drive to the commute. Shorts guy always wears shorts. He wears shorts in inappropriate locations too. Westbound 24, you can see traffic will be slow as you drive through lafayette. Also in orinda. No major problems there. We have a crash nearby northbound 680 right before Sycamore Valley road. That is danville. Trying to get up to the spot is a slow. A crash reported 680 as well. Those are close to each other. Traffic on 680 is not that great right now. We also do have a traffic traffic that is slow here on west 80. More rain drops on the lens here. Traffic has been slow as you drive through. We have had some slow traffic this morning on westbound interstate 80 and eastbound interstate 80. Eastbound at willow we had a crash in hercules at highway 4. That is slowing traffic in the direction you that dont normally see slow traffic here. That would be eastbound getting up to hercules. 7 47. Lets go to steve. Sal, mark ibanez just called and said what is wrong with wearing shorts . I wasnt going to name names. Im guilty of that a lot myself. Yeah. Not when it is pouring rain. Okay. It is true, though. I cant help it. Cloudy skies. Windy for some. Pouring for others. Now the warm sector of the system is working its way in. There is rain in advance of the front. The front is the key on the timeline here. For some in Mendocino County, lake county, Sonoma County, it is what we call r plus. Raining heavy. It doesnt mean it wont rain in San Francisco, bayside or the peninsula before this. This is when the highest rain rates will arrive. 6 00 p. M. To 10 00 p. M. Yes, it is still up on the north coast. It is moving slowly but it is moving. I have seen four and a half to five inches of rain for some from about northern Sonoma County into parts of Mendocino County. Cloverdale raining, pouring there. Hillsberg just checked. 1. 39. Occidental, im sure they have more than that now. Santa rosa over an inch. San rafael, 1. 65. Amore. Thanks for the heads up. Got the dog walk in just in time. Downpour in the san rafael hills. Believe it. Fort bragg, ukiah, that is coming down big time. There is the main line. It is working its way towards marin county. Over to hillsberg, pretty heavy there. Now working south into western marin county. And not heavy yet but heaviest just off of inverness, point rays. It is just a matter of time now. Light stuff ahead of it. It doesnt mean that it isnt raining. This isnt the front. Santa cruz mountains, this could be a good setup for heavy rain. That is working towards the santa cruz coast and mountains. Even monterey. Show me the big radar. The cold air is up here. It will be here tomorrow. And temperatures will plunge. So we will go from one extreme to the other. If the advisories are not for wind, its for too much rain or snow. Today traveling up to the mountains it will be a wind event. Tomorrow it will be the snow. Strong gusts today of 25 to 50 Miles Per Hour. Not out of the realm of the possibility here. Certainly in the higher elevations. Sierra nevada, more rain. Snow only at the highest peaks. 50sand 60s. Warm air mass in place. It has to work its way through. See how that is tapped into that right there . That will be a wet pattern for some. 50s and 60s. Its not a big deal on the temps. Very warm. Tomorrow will be a big deal because it turns cold. Dave, a lot of wind and rain. Then it will be die on the weekend but not warm. All right, steve. Okay.

It is also separate from another hack in 2014 that was just disclosed this year. Now, the stolen information may include names, email addresses, birthdays and other information. They believe that Bank Account Information and credit card data was not stolen but this complicates the sale of yahoo to verizon with all of these revelations. Verizon is saying, quote, we will evaluate the situation as yahoo continues its investigation. Were also waiting for a response from uber after the state ordered the Ride Share Company to stop operating self driving cars in San Francisco. We were talking about this yesterday morning. Well, uber started testing its selfdriving cars in the city yesterday. A safety driver and an engineer were in the car as well as backup. But just hours after the first car hit the road, the dmv ordered uber to stop. Saying the company did not obtain a special testing permit like the 20 other companies such as mercedes and google. With just ten days until christmas, retailers are discounting prices. Thats because shoppers seem to be holding out for deals and spending more time at the store thats offer big discounts. Hoping demand for Holiday Gifts would allow them to offer fewer promotions and keep the prices higher. But consumer psychologists say previous years have conditioned shoppers to hold off buying until they see the deepest discounts right before christmas. And i did just get a great tip. Yeah. For those of you, not saying necessarily that it is dave clark. Dont look at me. What did i do.

British regulators approved a controversial way for women with genetic disorders to have a healthy baby. The head of the fertility regulations calls it a historic decision to stop babies from inheriting fatal diseases from mothers. This combines the dna of the mother and the dna from another donor. That means genetically speaking the baby has three parents. Since the donor provides less than 1 of the genetic material, the child is more closely related to the mother than the donor. This procedure will be approved on a case by case basis. The time is 7 57. Time now to check in with mike and gasia. Thank you very much. We continue to track the storm making its way into the bay area. The preparations underway. After news of possible flooding. Reporter yeah.

Want to give you a live look at San Francisco. You sees the transamerica building there. The big story, the storm that has been rolling into the bay area. We have Team Coverage for new morning. Alex savidge is out in the elements. Sal castaneda is casting the commute. Lets go over to Steve Paulson first. Mike, how was your ride in. Not too bad. A little drizzle and fine once i got over to the east bay. It is moving in now. Up in Mendocino County, north of Russian River, it has been coming down big time. Impressive totals. Anywhere from two to five inches of rain. There will be rain in advance of this. The main front wont show up until late morning, early afternoon for some. Not until this evening or tonight for others. Again, it doesnt mean that you wont have rain. Im just talking about the main front and the heaviest rainfall rates. The rain has started on the San Francisco side of the bay bridge. Windy as well. Most locations are pretty windy. Not everybody but most. Eventually everybody will get in on the wind. Very heavy wind. Northern napa county as well. The system is moving south. As it does, it is starting to pick up into marin county. Not that bad. Mostly western marin county, up to bodega bay. Not much in San Francisco yet. So it does look after about 9 00, 10 00, thats when the heavier rain will come in. Santa cruz mountains picking up as well. There is so much deep moisture coming up that will play into a cloudy, windy and rainy day. By tonight, the system moves through and gives us really heavy rain. Its a rain and wind event for the sierra until tonight. Then it will be snow. 48 Miles Per Hour gusts already at truckee right now. 50s and 60s. I mean, plaintiff me it is on the mild side. By tomorrow, here comes the cold air. The system lifting up. It will give us an active day. Rain heavy at times. 50s and 60s. All right, sal. It is 8 02. 8 02. Yeah. We have a pretty serious crash here, steve. This is video from a twitter follower. It is an overturned car eastbound 80 near willow. A jackknifed truck and trailer. According to chp, the trailer was pulling a car ask that car fell off the trailer on to another vehicle. So a vehicle and a couple of other cars here overturned in an injury crash. And you can see there there is an upside down vehicle. And this was taken theres the trail they are was carrying one of the cars there. So this is a pretty severe crash. The authorities have arrived. It looks like the trailer jackknifed. So give yourself plenty of time. Im going to put it on the map for you. Eastbound 80 at highway 4 at the willow exit. And traffic is backing up from near hill top drive. There is another accident nearby eastbound 80 at the off ramp. A separate crash reported by chp. It will likely be there for a while. They have issued a sig alert. Look at 680 and highway 4. They have cleared up. Highway 24 is pretty slow as you can see. Lets take a look at a live picture of the bay bridge toll plaza. A little bit of rain there. Backed up for 25, 30 minutes. In san jose, northbound 280, traffic has reached 280. Although it is not severe. 101 is still slow from an earlier crash near tully road in the northbound direction. 8 04, lets go back to the desk. Thank you, sal. San Francisco City workers preparing for flooding at 17th and fullsome at the mission. It tends to flood when it rains. They are installing flood barriers to try to stop water from getting into buildings in the neighborhood. And the sierra also preparing for a lot of snow over the next couple of days. Live look here at borial. Several inches expected to fall overnight. If you are headed up to the sierra, chp warning you to allow extra time on 50 as well as 80. Of course if you need them, bring the chains. Across many parts of the country, frigid arctic air is blasting in. This morning, low temperatures are set to plunge below zero in a number of places. As Steve Rappoport tells us, the icy weather is expected to get worse in the coming days. Reporter dangerous cold gripping many parts of the u. S. With an estimated 100 Million People now facing subzero windchills. On wednesday, windchill advisories issued in ten states from parts of montana all the way east to sections of illinois, indiana and ohio. I have any my gloves and snow packs on and three pairs of socks. Reporter highs were 20 to 30 degrees below average on wednesday. Theres even Colder Weather to come. On thursday, with windchill, minneapolis is expected to feel like 23 below. On friday, boston is forecast to feel like minus 9. Out west, oregon has been getting hit with snow and ice with more snow expected by late friday. In the meantime a snow related accident near albany, new york. A boy was buried alive. They were digging tunnels in heavy snow when a snow plow came by and dumped more snow, trapping the boys underneath. When they located the pair, it was too late for one of them. I watched probably a dozen and a half men, firemen, forest rangers, new york state police, my guys literally started digging. I think when in exaggeration, they probably moved seven tons of hard packed snow in a matter of ten minute snooze meanwhile officials in vermont are saying to limit time outdoors. Steve rappoport, fox news. This winter storm comes as the airports prepare for a busy week. Millions are expected to pass through the check points tomorrow. Some 103 million americans plan to travel during the christmas week. 6million plan to fly. Anyone who has a flight, double and even triple check the status of your flight before you head out to the airport. If youre traveling by car, you will have a lot of company. 94Million People are expected to drive 50 miles or more this year. The biggest reason is that drivers have saved 24 billion in gas so far this year compared to last year. Another 3. 5 million will take trains, buses or even boat. Theres a proposal to have you pay more to get across most of the bridges in the bay area. The money generated would pay for transportation projects. Christien kafton is joining us live near the bay bridge. Christian, it feels like tolls just went up. Maybe thats just me. One scenario has them going up as much as 3. Reporter yeah, mike. A lot of people feel they already pay enough to cross the bridges. Now the idea that they could pay 3 more, that has people talking. Were at the bay bridge. This is one of the bridges that could be affected. The bay bridge here, an increase on bay bridge and other bridges throughout the bay area could Fund Improvements throughout the bay area. The metropolitan Transportation Commission started talking about the idea on wednesday. It could add 1, 2, 3 to tolls on the brims in the area. The money would be a bold move to solve major transportation issues like the widening of the narrows. Drivers we spoke with this morning agree that bay area transit could be better but differed whether a 3 toll increase is the right move. I guess it definitely would affect me. Thats like 3 would almost be a 50 increase. So i would hope that it would make it work way better. Yeah. I think so. I dont know about 3. An increase makes sense. Youre driving around the roads all the time and bouncing around. There is definitely a lot of issues out there. I think it makes sense, yeah. Reporter now n is all still really in the preliminary stages. The mtc could start talks on how to approach the Legislature Next month at some point in time. And voters have a say whether they will see the toll increases in 2018. The toll increases would take place sometime after that. Christien kafton live there in San Francisco. Thank you, christian. So how much of a difference would this toll increase actually make for commuters pocket book . Right now those that go from oakland to San Francisco pay about 1,500 in tolls. If the 3 increase happens, they would pay about 2,200 a year in tolls. Thats an extra 750. Not too far off from other commuting options. Transit riders pay 2,100 in fares. Bart riders pay about the same. Ferry riders pay about 3,500 a year. How much does it cost you to get to work . We know some of you have very long commutes. We talk about the tracy super commute in the early hours of mornings on 2. We want to hear from you especially. A number of responses coming in already. One user writes 20 a day, 400 a month. Also on twitter, christina says 6. Two buses, one hour, union city to fremont. Cars have to pay fares, fuel, consumption, maintenance, change between car models. Let us know what you think on facebook. The conversation continues also on twitter. Make sure to use ktvu. Putting the brakes on the uber selfdriving cars in San Francisco. The reason that the brandnew service was put to a stop just hours after it started. Good morning. We are looking at a commute that is getting worse wherever it is raining. Here on highway 24, it seems to be slowing down a little bit on the way to the tunnel. Well, for some, cloudy and windy. For others, just pouring. Especially up towards parts of Mendocino County and lake county. Heavy rain around the Russian River as well. At ikea, we believe everyone should be able to afford a welcoming home for the holidays. And that nothing should get in the way of a good conversation. We believe that room for one more shouldnt cost more. And that you can make a place for everyone. Spend your holiday overjoyed and under budget with ikea. All right. Welcome back to mornings on 2. On your left, Storm Tracker 2 radar. The green on the screen slowly making its way from the north bay down south. And in the small box, theres a live look of the south bay as we look at the Santa Cruz Mountains. Many cuters in the bay area this morning are indeed encountering light drizzle as well as strong winds at times. That has already caused problems in the north bay. Thats where we find alex savidge with traffic headaches and rain all around, alex. Reporter yeah. The rain is starting to pick up in the north bay where we are outside of grayton. Outside of santa rosa. You can probably see the cars passing by with their headlights on. A lot of rain coming down in the area. The wind is also picking up as well. With that being said, were seeing damage already from this storm. I want to get to you video we shot just a few minutes ago up the road from here. And this is a large tree that came crashing down on to some power lines just about an hour ago. And this tree toppled over on to the lines and is now blocking highway 116 in both directions just north of forestville. You can see it has chp, firefighters on the scene. And also caltrans crews there. Theyre using chain saws. They have the chain saws out. Theyre trying to chop the tree up and get it out of the way. Ive been told it will probably be several hours before they can clear the large tree out of the way and get the situation figured out. That is obviously probably the tip of the iceberg when it comes to storm damage. We can obviously expect a lot more downed trees, downed power lines because the winds are really expected to intensify with the storm, especially here in the north bay. Again, were just outside of grayton right now along highway 116. The rain is really coming down in this area. It is going to continue like this throughout the day. Thank you, alex. Video from twitter follower that came into our news room shows one overturned car as well as one jackknifed truck and trailer. Im not sure if we have the video. I think sal will be able to help us out on what happened on the video and other traffic issues, sal. Yeah. Mike and gasia, this is a crash that happened about 45 minutes to an hour ago. And its an overturned car that came off of a jackknifed truck. It is a weird scene here. I always think about this when im driving behind a trailer pulling a car. Is that car going to come off . Well, this time it did unfortunately. And there are injuries in this crash. It hit another car. And one car flipped over. And, again, theyre working on someone there. This is video taken earlier. As you drive by, there is youll see it in a minute here as the viewer will there you go. Theres the trailer that was carrying the car. It had a car on it. It jackknifed and the car came off. That is one of my biggest fears as a driver. 80 at highway 4 willow exit. There is another accident in the backup east 80 at hill top drive. Not as serious. Avoid this area. There is a sig alert issued for the area. We also have a lot of slow traffic on marin county commute, southbound 101 doesnt look good there. Lets go to the bay bridge toll plaza. The traffic is backed up for a 20, 25minute delay. Northbound 280 getting up to highway 17 looks good. 101 is taking a beating because of an earlier crash. 8 17, lets bring steve in. Thank you, sal. Hello, steve. The rain is tracking along very slowly but working its way. Now it is starting to pick up around petaluma. The rain rates. So the north bay until 9 00. The rain is beginning to fall. San francisco. Especially out towards the western edge of it. The heaviest rain is still off of the coast. And so same for the bay. The east bay will take from 2 00 to 4 00. Not all of the peninsula but the heaviest rain later this afternoon. The south bay later tonight. There are intense cells approaching the Santa Cruz Mountains. Ill show you that in a second. I keep clicking these along. It keeps raining. I have seen some four to five inch amounts, up in Mendocino County and areas in Sonoma County as well. Hillsberg is at an inch and a half. St. Helena an inch and a quarter to an inch and a third. Oakville. 82. The system is working its way in. We need the rain. And it is pouring now in sonoma. So the system, you can draw a line from about petaluma over to sonoma north. That seems to be the heaviest. Maybe a letup up to the north. There seems to be a back edge. I still think you will get rain for a while. Now it is working its way towards petaluma. That is verifying. Marin county, it is trying. On the western edge of marin county. Still not making it over mount tam yet. You can see the line. Even though theres a little bit of rain San Francisco over to oakland, the bulk is off shore. Look at Santa Cruz Mountains. Lighting up as it begins to move on shore. There are isolated areas where it will pick up. The main system is still to the north and has a ways to go. Here come the dynamics associated with the low coming up from the west southwest. Everything in place for heavy rain for areas to the south. The breeze is a big story. Already 22 at the Oakland Airport. Hayward is picking up southeast at 20. The sierra, it is all wind right now and rain. Gusts up to 50 in truckee. The snow will not turn until tonight. The snow level wont come down until then. 50s and 60s because of the warm air mass. 56 inu kai a the cold air is on tap for friday night into the weekend. This system it tapped into tropical moisture. You also get a colder system coming in on the north side. It is rotating towards us. 50s and 60s on your temperatures. Heavy rain. Windy conditions will persist most of the day. For some, the heavy rain is now. For others, tonight. The cold air will come in. We clear out on friday. The weekend looks dry. But there will be very cold inland lows on the weekend. Thank you, steve. Youre welcome. A shooting at a gas station in the city of oakland.

Authorities in Los Angeles County are searching the mountains for a wounded bear that was shot by an off duty sheriffs deputy. It happened tuesday night outside of the Vacation Home of the deputy in the san gabriel mountains. The officer was walking up the driveway with his children when they spotted three bears near the trash bin. The largest bear estimated to be 450 pounds then set his sights on his family. Initially the bear was not real aggressive, kind of stayed in place. And the deputy backed off and tried to get the kids safe and make some loud noises. But after he got 30 or 40 feet from the bear, the bear started to walk towards him and then charged towards them. The wounded bear then ran off into the woods along with the other two. Fish and game officers are looking for them. The deputy and children were not hurt.

We are following the big story this morning, which is of course the storm. There is a ground delay there is a ground delay in effect at sfo. If you are heading to the airport to pick someone up or heading out yourself, double check because your flight may not be on time because of the weather. The main system while it is arriving later today, currently moving through the north bay, we saw problems in this mornings commute. The chp says slick conditions likely contribute today this twocar crash on 101. Officers say the first vehicle went over debris on the roadway, possibly sheet metal. The driver lost control and hit the other vehicle. The two cars veered off the roadway, knocking down a highway sign and went into fencing. This wet weather yesterday caused a big problem up in the north bay. Look what happened when a driver of a cocacola truck lost control and slid off the road. The good news is no one was hurt. But about 30 gallons of diesel fuel spill. A tow truck was called in and a hazmat team to clean up the spill. We saw that tree in alex savidges report blocking the highway there. Lets bring in Steve Paulson and get an update on the storm. There are three inch totals in the Russian River. Already. Yeah. Im not surprised there will be issues. On your timeline, it has been all morning into the north. Were talking about this coming into marin county and points south until 9 00 a. M. This is right on cue so far. It doesnt mean that you wont get rain in advance of this. Im talking about the front. Coming in late morning, early afternoon. And then this afternoon, tonight for parts of the peninsula and the south bay. Although the Santa Cruz Mountains are starting to get rain right now. I kid you not, i cant keep up on these fast enough, especially near cloverdale and hillsberg. Hillsberg 1. 56. Occidental up to an inch and a half. Santa rosa keeps clicking along. Thats where your system is. It continues to there has been really heavy rain up towards ukiah. Flooding issues into lake county as well. The bulk of this moving south. It is moving through. Santa rosa to petaluma. It is picking up near inverness. It doesnt mean that you dont have rain. It just means the heaviest rain, San Francisco and oakland south, not much until you hit the Santa Cruz Mountains. Rain is beginning to move in. That is along highway 9, Scotts Valley over to santa cruz as well. You see the moisture. Two sources here coming up from the west southwest. It has tapped into tropical moisture. If you dont have rain yet, hang in there. You have a good breeze and the gusts will continue with the wind advisories out. 50s and 60s. We get the cold air tomorrow. This is what i will show you here. Cold air feeding into the back side of this system. Theyre lifting towards us. 50s for a few. 60s. But the rain will be with us. I think the evening commute, if you can get away soon enough, sal, i would. I would move. Maybe you got into work okay. Trying to get home will be a different ball game. That is a good plan or adjust your expectations and realize if youre driving you will have to drive slowly and carefully. Put on music. Yeah. And allow for extra time. Yeah. Thats what you have to do. Thats what you have to do. Lets take a look at what we have now. We are going to start with that accident weve been working on eastbound 80. I want to show you this video from a viewer. Eastbound 80 at willow. There was a crash where a car came off a trailer and caused a crash here on eastbound 80. Theyre still trying to clear it up. All of the lanes are open. But there is stuff going on on the shoulder. It was a pretty dramatic incident here as the car that came off of the trailer ended up hitting another car. Again, all of the lanes are open. But the traffic will be slow. As a matter of fact, as you look at this commute here lets put it on the map here. I can show that you even though the lanes are open, they have canceled the sig alert. A lot of slow traffic coming through. Westbound traffic slow approaching the scene. When they clear the lanes, it doesnt necessarily mean they have cleared the backup. Lets go to the commute on the toll plaza. Backed up to the macarthur maze. And the metering lights are on. Typical commute. This is highway 24. You will see slow traffic here in lafayette and orinda. Now back to the desk. City leaders in pacifica will spend the stormy day discussing the fate of an apartment complex. It sits on a crumb willing cliff near the pacific ocean. Janine de la vega joins us live on esplanade avenue. Reporter it is beautiful out here with the water. But the bluffs are eroding. A sink hole opened up below the building that needs to be torn down. And they put up this fencing. You can see neighbors have been stopping by to check this out. This just illustrates the danger because city leaders are saying the building right next to this needs to go. City leaders have been watching the apartment complex at 310 esplanade for years now. In january they determined it was unsafe to live there and evicted the residents. There was concern that the land it sits on would continue to crumble away and the building would topple over into the ocean. The city wants to demolish it now as soon as possible. We talked to people who rent apartments near the condemned property. Here is what they had to say. I wanted to buy. I love this area. I take my dog down to the beach every single morning. I wanted to buy just up the hill and decided not to because of that risk. I honestly do think about it. I thought i was being paranoid. My building is a little off. I dont know how safe it is here anymore. Even walking along the cliff to walk my dog in the mornings. I dont know if i should be concerned about it. Reporter city Officials Say the owner of the apartment complex has neglected the property and it is his responsibility to take care of it. He filed bankruptcy last year. The city is in touch with his attorney and they are monitoring the building. The city manager will talk about how theyre handling this and if they will have to pay for the demolition. Last year the two buildings were torn down and the city had to pay for one of them which belongs to the same owner as 310 esplanade. Thank you, janine. You can find steve and the rest of our weather team on twitter, instagram and facebook. The time is 8 36. The benefit concert for the victims and families of those who were lost in the ghost ship warehouse fire was a sellout. [music] the show featured 20 artists. It was headlined by the bay area band primus. This kind of show would normally take months to put together but this was organized in less than two weeks. All of the fire victims were honored and special remembrances for a few musicians. We have cashs partner in the band performing a song in tribute to him. Somebody knows someone. If you dont know someone directly, you know someone who lost someone in the fire. And actually a good friend of mine aaron jumped out of a window. Thats how he survived. He is playing with us tonight. Nearly 700,000 has been pledged to the oakland fire relief fund. Organizers say the event really pulled together the community in a way they havent seen before. Theyre hoping that feeling doesnt fade away. Were waiting for a response from uber after the state ordered the Ride Sharing Company to stop operating self driving cars in San Francisco. We told you yesterday morning that uber was going to Start Testing selfdriving cars in the city beginning yesterday. Now, safety driver and an engineer would be in the vehicle as backups. Just hours after the first cars hit the roadway, the dmv ordered uber to stop saying they did not obtain a special testing permit like 20 other companies have ranging from mercedes to google. They started uberx before they had permission from the cpuc. And then they wanted the carpool lane and they did that for a while without permission. This is an uber car running a red light on third street. A pedestrian in the crosswalk had to pause as the uber went through the intersection. They say this incident was due to human error. This vehicle was not part of the pilot and was not carrying customers. The driver involved was suspended. Well, it is the day that star wars fan have been waiting for. The rogue one movie hits theaters across the bay area. If the empire had this kind of power, what chance do we have . Fans in los angeles have been camped out for more than a week. Some theaters are expecting people to line up in the bay area this morning. The film is standalone story set before the original 1977 movie. It follows a group of rebels that defy orders and try to steal plans for the death star before darth vader inflicts his power. The film is expected to generate 300 million just this weekend. Nfl commissioner Roger Goodell has addressed the raiders request for a new stadium. Good morning, we have traffic that is getting busier, especially in the north bay where it is raining.
