We had a break today, but more rain is coming. We have Live Team Coverage tonight. Chief meteorologist bill martin will explain what to expect tomorrow. Well hear from Azenith Smith and Leigh Martinez on the flooding, rescues, and rock slides caused by that weekend storm. But our first stop is in guerneville in Sonoma County where 3,000 people were advised to evacuate when the Russian River went three feet above flood stage this afternoon. Ktvu Debora Villalon was there tonight. A lot of people didnt get out. Reporter a lot of people did, but many people are accustomed to this from years past. So a lot of folks do hold up in their homes and try to wade it out and wait for the waters to recede. If you know guerneville were at the play land the pee wee golf place thats right outside town. If you take a look you can see this is one of many roads that is impassable here in guerneville also in monterio alongside the river. It has been raining here hard for hours. And this is the part of the bay area that can afford it the least. Weve been here for so long. Reporter this was the way homes from work a kayak down the road. The same way the trio would get down to guerneville hours earlier. People need their coffee. We run a coffee shop and it had to be made. Reporter Higher Ground is what many residents need right now as the rain swollen Russian River rises to and above flood stage. Water creeping inside low lying properties and pushing against second stories. As you see it, Mother Nature says the mighty Russian River is still mighty. Reporter county officials are monitoring the river calling it moderate flooding compared to previous widespread events. But now many people new to the region havent seen anything like it before. Really the last time there was significant floods like this for more than a decade ago. There is also a lot of new people saying wow this is the first time ive seen it like this. Ive been told the water levels have reached the window. Reporter this home on Church Street in guerneville is sandbagged just in case as it is next to a lowlying area already under water. Were just on the edge holding out until it takes us over. Were parked at the neighbors, were ready to go. Reporter its the the first flood. They said no thats no big deal. I think they said 85. They were wiped out, you know, four feet of water at safeway compared to this, ill take it. Everyone is grateful for breaks in the rain, but im sure how bad the flooding will get before it is over. We are going to be out for a few days, which is why residents are rescuing possessions, even if that means wading through waisthigh water trying not to trip on tree stumps or speed bumps. If the water gets into the house thats about it. Thats all im worried about. I got as much as i can, but you know. What are you hearing about the next couple of days . That the river is suppose to come up and it will get even deeper. Reporter kayaks, canoes, row boats, they are the way to get around. And with more rain, high winds are expected tomorrow. The situation out here in the River Community looks to get even more dicey now through wednesday. Another big problem thats popping up tonight landslides. The earth is saturated. We took a look at a landslide outside guerneville on old monterio road on santa monica avenue. The fire chief tells me this slide might be longer than they realize. As far as they can tell it has been taking down trees. So they have red tagged at least seven homes so far. Not necessarily because the slide has hit the homes or has damaged them, but this is creating instability among the trees. The trees could fall the trees could fall on the homes. These homes are being put out in the rain being told to evacuate because of the landslide. The fire chief told me he expects this to get even worse in the days to come because they had a foot of rain in four days in these coastal communities here in west Sonoma County. Theyre reaching a breaking point where the land is going to start to go. Back to you.

Reporter san jose fire says it is among four water rescues due to the heavy rain and flooded creeks. Down in morgan hill this was the scene outside an apartment complex.

They had to build those away. That would never happen. Like they did before. The family spent the day mopping up worried about the next round of rain and what they could bring. My hope is not really like yesterday. That is my hope. But i dont know.

Now to the next round of rain thats headed our way. Our chief meteorologist bill martin is tracking it for us. How much rain do you think well get . Not as much as yesterday, but one to three inches. Were very lucky they would have the break for the rivers and the creeks settle down a bit. Lets go back quickly to yesterday. I mean this is yesterday morning. Youll see the system move through there. Thats your river unloading. But look right here thats today and the break, right . Thats saving us to give us some time to settle down. Now we come all the way down. Thats the new system. This one is an Atmospheric River coming a little further north where it will be a little cooler meaning lower snow levels not as much runoff.

Reporter thats right public work crews removed 20 truckloads of rocks from silverado trail this afternoon. But then when they called up geologists they kept the road closed because hes saying things look a lot worse up above. Theyre seeing some fractures, theyre seeing some cracks going straight across. Theres only two plates up there plaits up there loosely held together. They see a lot of water going through there, meaning theres a lot of water inside. All the basin that it is on top of is breakaway sand. Its just matter of time now for more of those rocks to come down. Reporter the rocks first slipped on monday afternoon on tot much traveled silverado trail. The view from above shows a massive rock slide reaching across the divider. This evening the road is clear, but engineers dont trust the land above it. A part of it has slipped, relieving the pressure on the upper part. So its not secure. Its basically floating up there. Reporter since there is not much holding altogether napa county authorities closed their second most traveled road from deer park road to pope street. Its working to protect st.

President elect Donald Trumps newly named Senior Advisor is hitting the ground running. Tonight Jared Kushner met with the speaker of the house along with other transition officials to discuss rewriting the nations tax code. John roberts explains the controversy behind kushners appointment. Reporter Jared Kushner is one of the four people trump trusts the most along with his wife ivanka, his daughter. It was kushner who put the Lean Campaign machine behind trumps victory together, inventing a new generation of Data Analytics to micro target voters. To get kushner in the white house, the trumps transition is turning to a 1978 law that exempts the president from the federal antinepotism statute. The Justice Department has described authority is, unfedderred and sweeping. Trump appears confident kushner will be joining him at 1600 pennsylvania. Trump is also confident about his cabinet appointments. For the first time this year emerging from the golden elevator at trumps tower to meet the press, predicting every one of his cabinet pick wills be confirmed. Theyre going great.

Outside trump tower new york John Roberts Fox news. Well tomorrow president obama delivers his farewell address in chicago. Thousands of people plan to brave freezing temperatures to attend that speech, which will happen at the same venue where president obama gave his 2012 Election Night address. The president will reflect on the accomplishments in the past eight years and also look forward to the nations future. So joining us now is our political analyst. Critics are wondering whether the appointment of Jared Kushner is legal under federal antinepotism laws. What do you make of the appointment . The president can appoint whoever he wants to. You go through the past presidency and the controversial picks all along the way. I dont think there is a problem, but they are going to have to solve the financial entanglements he has as the son inlaw of the president elect. Lets move forward. Weve got a full week of those planned, the democrats are concerned some of the nominees have not been fully vetted or required to fill out the paperwork. Will that be a problem . It is not going to be a problem, but in past years you would have a chance to look at the backgrounds of people. These are the appointments coming and the nominations will be moving very quickly. Its unusual. But everything with the president elect so far is unusual. Donald trump as he does so often, there arent going to be any problems. All of them will be concerned. Do you think they will all be confirmed . On the fact that they could be controlled, then the answer is yes. However as they dig into their backgrounds there will be things that may arise that everybody comes to a consensus, such you would not want to confirm somebody. But youve got to expect some of this vetting has occurred. Could the democrats stall the confirmation progress . To the extent they could raise issues that would keep other republicans from wanting to vote for that person possibly. But i think its sort of a one way train. Maybe the senator with the stance on immigration and civil rights, passing incarceration may have a tough time. And first up they are going to throw everything at him. I think if he goes through, at that point the rest tend to follow. Whats your opinion on how donald trump has handled himself since winning the election . I think on balance were seeing somebody who has appealed to the American People using a certain persona and that continues. He is still tweeting, he is still reaching out to the people kind of going over the heads of the media frankly. Which is why on wednesday that Media Conference is going to be very interesting if he does indeed go through with it. And we will see as his presidency will start, whether he has time frankly to be doing all the tweeting when the real agenda starts it out. How do you think he finds the time . At 3 00 in the morning hes up doing stuff. Tomorrow night president obama delivers his farewell speech. What do you expect to hear from him . He is going to cement his legacy. This is something started by president George Washington in 1796 when the 32page handwritten letter published in the philadelphia paper and has continued through history.

Traffic is also moving again on highway one in pacifica. Thats after a mud slide shut down all northbound lanes for almost 14 hours. The slide was first reported late last night near rena del mar avenue. In fact drivers told us it took two hours to navigate a two mile stretch of highway that normally takes only about five minutes. Heavy snowfall is expected in the sierra this week after dangerous and blustery conditions over the weekend. As Vicky Gonzalez tells us the snow shut down ski resorts.

Reporter but truckee residents are continuing to ride out the bumpy conditions. Ive been loving it. [ laughter ] reporter the Truckee River moving swift, cresting sunday due to heavy rain, melting fresh snow pack. Its been a roller coaster for sure. It started out with the snow last week and then we got the rain over the weekend. That was kind of a bit of a bummer from all the powder theyve been getting. Reporter the water level is dropping below flood stage. A bit of a break. Still wet. But hopefully you can see good skiing this week. Reporter with another strong round of snow on the horizon. Local ski resorts were closed on sunday as well as today, but planning to reopen for you tomorrow hoping for an additional five to seven feet of snow by this weekend. In king vail victoria taneyhill ktvu fox 2 news. You heard it right. They are thinking maybe eight feet, four to eight feet possible as we head into the next three days up in the sierra, nevada. More rain for us. Heavier rain will be on and off tomorrow. It wont be like you saw yesterday, but still pretty wet especially on the morning and afternoon commute. Also what youre going to notice with the wind advisory there will be more wind with this storm than the last one. And wind gusts could go above 60 miles an hour with the wet ground, trees and Power Outages a real possibility tomorrow and again this isnt the scale of one to ten, but probably the last one. I would feel the last one is a nine and a half probably about seven. But with the wind they could add to that. Plus the ground is saturated. So mud slides will bound. I mean were not looking at it today, but there is a Flash Flood Watch area for the entire bay area and the king tides for your morning. Let me ride my bike up on the Oakland Hills as they would have slides everywhere, just everywhere. But you would need to add more water to that tomorrow and there will be more slides because of the nature of the typography in the soils. Winter storm warning stays in effect 4 00 a. M. On thursday. Four to eight feet of snow six feet tall. Right . And some places will get up to eight feet of snow. The rain is falling down the bay area. Here is the next system back here. Heavy showers still, training up here over the napa valley pretty hard seeing the snow levels drop down a little bit the radar right now. Across the valley they will be getting rain just above colfax starting to see snow here and cooler systems, better news for truckee, reno flooding, Central Valley flooding, it will be more helpful to get some snow. So these guys will get pretty heavy rain for the last 35 minutes or so keep an eye on that. Waves of showers will go through tomorrow. Then as they do if you are under one you know its raining hard with little breaks. Tomorrow morning thats San Francisco. Tomorrow afternoon and then by the afternoon commute its still doing it just a wet day tomorrow all day and windy as well. If you could avoid the mountains i wouldnt go to give it a couple of days. Tomorrow morning lunchtime then the afternoon commute. Thats your day. Now well go into wednesday scattered showers, no biggie after what we have seen. Then thursday maybe a few scattered showers, but again nothing compared to what we have seen. But the takeaway here is were real fortunate to get the rain and the snow. We are really fortunate we got the break here today and the break is huge. If we didnt get that break today we are going to round up the next storm and the Russian River is just a few feet above flood stage. They will stay there through wednesday. But its not going to go much above that. We would have a big storm today pushing that thing for you a lot harder. They will need to be able to take it. Yes, julie, the soil saturation we cant take too much rain. Today is a very important day. Even with tomorrows rain it will not make things worse. It is not going to help, but it shouldnt be anything like what we saw yesterday or the problems we would have. L bill, thank you. Coming up herein credible finish to the National Championship game for alabama and clemson. Three touchdowns in the last four and a half minutes. Mark is up next with an amazing highlight. Tasty. At my place, you can get a mouthwatering sourdough bacon ranch combo for 4. 99. With a full size beef patty, bacon, and creamy ranch sauce, on toasted sourdough bread. Plus hot salty fries and refreshing freestyle drink. Because flavor always beats formulas. The sourdough bacon ranch combo, just 4. 99 for a limited time. Combos done my way. We have been loving the national champion. It was incredible and just the way you would want it back and forth. Alabama has not lost ever. Trailing in the fourth quarter, just back and forth. Disrupting the entire news room. I mean coming on the heels of a week four game in their playoffs, no drama there tonight. But they would have their day for this week, early before they started nick saban. Well see you later, pal, but here we go again looking like beau jackson, the second touchdown of the night for 47 yards. Youre thinking 140 alabama, but they collect themselves 14 7 at the half. He takes it for a nice move to get in there 27 yards. But they would slug right back and probably a big time for clemson, the quarterback wide open. 2414 at the three, sensational, calm and collected, youll see it in a moment for the touchdown. And they will take their first lead. Up and over 2824 as they lead. They never trailed and they were not about to stay there, just an amazing 30yard run, thats the freshman right there. Bam ma and long faces for the clemson fans. However they run the clock out. Nine plays, 68quader drive, one second left. Watson connects again with renfro. Passing three touchdowns, where the National Title goes to clemson 3531. Second National Title in their schools history. Ive got to tell ya, its very nice to see a victorious coach show joy and humility in winning the championship. Years ago my goal was to put clemson back on top. Tonight thats the reality. Listen, i love the university of alabama, i love the people there, the coach is so gracious and the heart of their team, this would go down as one of the greatest of all time no doubt about it. Im just so happy for the clemson team. I mean its unbelievable. Thats a classy coach accepting a great victory right there. In the meantime Desean Watson looked pretty good in a 49er uniform. Were doing a little informal poll. About 65 of the viewers online says that is who the niners should use on the number two pick, calm, collected in the clutch. In the meantime though they need to fill another position. That would be the coach. Today the grandson of the former 49ers president john mcvay interviewing for the job. They call him the new and up and coming john gruden just 30 years old. He would be the youngest coach in the nfl currently served as an offensive coordinator for the redskins for the past three years. Hes the fourth candidate to be interviewed. Anthony lynn the former runningback was first and kyle shanahan, mike shanahan, second and Josh Mcdaniels narrowing it down to either l. A. , San Francisco, or returning to new england where he is an offensive coordinator. The choice is right there. In the meantime the golden statewarriors still stinging a bit from the ridiculous loss where they blew a 24point lead sticking in the coachs mind. Last night they did win, but check out what happened just a few seconds to end their game. Riding in the baseline, they need to use that time out that quickly and 18 seconds into the game. Hes sending a message. Thats a great popovich time out right there. Yeah, as Bob Fitzgerald said that is a popovich play right there. I mean thats unheard of to call time out 18 seconds into the game. Popovich for those who dont know is a guy who is considered the top coach in the league. Today david west compared kerr and popovich. I mean hes probably not as ra ra, but you know he leaves a great message. Thats what they expect with their expectations and what they could accomplish. That was it. Popovich has a great move right there. 18 seconds. [ laughter ] you got it now. Thats for sure. And thanks for joining us. Good night. Well see you later everyone, good night.
