bay bridge toll plaza, a little bit of wet roads here. not too bad as steve has said. it's coming through. not so much of a rain event as it is a traffic thing when suddenly people can't drive when it's wet out there. also looking at the commute in san francisco. that's moderate. our san francisco camera is also bumping a little bit. maybe windy there. but traffic is just moderate here getting into the city. i just want to remind you that if you are in the north bay coming from petaluma to novato, you might need an extra 15 minutes. less go to steve -- lbts let's go to steve. we do have some rain moving through. not a lot. but there is a little bit. this is why i -- i talk about these systems the day before and i go, watch. these things won't do much and that's been the trend. the friend has been your friend -- the trend has been your friend. middletown, lake county, .27. cazadero, 18/100ths. forestville, .15. san francisco, .06. yountville, concord, oakland, napa, about .02 to .04 or .05. not very much rain. our system is moving through. there's a system offshore going through sonoma county, that's it. that's it. we do get some morning rain. a lot of cloud cover. but we get occasionally bursts of moderate rain. it will be a cooler, fast- moving system out of the northwest. i think we'll get more rainfall with that. cloudy with light rain. breezy, cooler, mix of clouds and sun later on. today, 55. average is 50, 62. the record high, 77 back in 1895. our system moving through. this is the one line that has to go through. after that, things will calm down. through the noon hour, off-and- on rain. but there's something heavy here. maybe guerneville, ox dent tal, russian river area to santa rosa, sebastopol. also moving in towards point reyes, dylan beach to western marin county heading towards mount tam. not a lot there. also san ramon out to livermore. maybe parts of the altamont pass. this is really light stuff. and then towards the santa cruz mountains. had some rain. and then along the san mateo coast, there could be pictures here. had a decent squall line go through half moon bay. 30s in the mountains. the system tomorrow looks better. amazingly cold. it's really rebounded. i think new orleans was 33. atlanta, 22. they've warmed up. there will be a south wind in advance. there will be a pattern change throughout much of the country in the deep freeze. although 78% of the country was below freezing this morning. the lake-effect snow. the pictures, you cannot believe. they are mind boggling out of buffalo. 40s and 50s. any breeze? oakland southeast, 13. half moon bay had gusts to 24 earlier. this line has to go through. once that goes through, things will start to calm down. the next system will zip down out of the northwest. afternoon, evening. as i feared or predicted about an hour ago, they would cut back the forecast models on tomorrow's rainfall projections. i think they will cut back on that further. but tomorrow's system has more promise than i think the one we're getting this morning. not much on the system. by noon, we'll be on the back side. i think this is overdone at 4:00. tomorrow morning we'll cloud it up and get the system tomorrow afternoon, evening. morning rain, clouds. a little cooler. the breeze has picked up for some. for others mid-60s. it will cool off tomorrow. we'll start off all right. cool and breezy, friday. >> this is almost good because you don't want too much rain at once. it sounds like -- we could use more but at least it's -- >> we could use like inch instead of .10. that's the pro be plem -- problem. these are not producing enough. >> i just went outside. >> and? it's chilly and damp. >> it's a little damp. >> it's not raining. what we had earlier -- >> a couple

commutes have slowed down. the rain did enough to slow traffic on the eastshore freeway. 52 minutes the drive between the carquinez bridge and the maze. that trip usually takes -- well, at this time of the morning, it usually takes under 30. so we're a little bit heavier than normal. yesterday, we were up at 90. i guess you won't be complaining too much. but it's still pretty slow. when you get to the bay bridge toll plaza, it's backed up a little bit. this is about a 30-minute drive into san francisco. i want to talk about marin county and the north bay. we had a lot of slow traffic coming

have a big decision to make about raising fees at all uc campuses. brian flores is live in san francisco where we've been seeing students are already holding rallies. if you look over your shoulder. this will have a big impact on their wallets. >> reporter: good morning, dave. huge impact for many of the students out here. very emotional, as we've been talking about. you are taking a live look outside of the mission bay campus. this is just a small portion. amount of students that are out here this morning protesting these possible tuition hikes at all uc campuses. there are hundreds of students from all over the state. some from berkeley, davis. we've seen some students from santa cruz as well as riverside, even ucla here talking about this possible tuition increase over the next few years. but several students already outside of the front of the entrance. this meeting is scheduled to start at 8:30. this particular topic is scheduled not to be talked about until about 10:15. the proposal again is to raise student fees 5% over the next five years. university of california students currently pay about 14,000 to 15,000 for tuition and fees alone which is about 30 grand per year. governor brown who has come out publicly and opposes the tuition hike will be here at ucsf. and janet napolitano says she will back off the proposed tuition is the governor agrees to increase funding by $100 million. as we mentioned, talking with many students this morning, they say they can't afford it anymore. >> i will take out more loans. luckily, i'm in a situation where i have access to more loans. a lot of the students don't. and they would have to drop out of school. taking more loans is not a financially viable option that more and -- more and more debt i will have to pay back. >> reporter: now, according to uc officials they say the reason for this increase is to offset pension benefits from several years ago. somewhere i've read from the sacramento bee upwards to $7 billion in terms of the type of pension that needs to be covered from possible tuition increases. as we take it back out here live, this is one of the entrances here to the board of -- to the regents

yesterday, everything was -- to use a technical term all jacked up. and today we're just seeing kind of slow traffic in the usual spots. out to the bay bridge toll plaza 25, 30-minute delays getting into san francisco. we haven't had any major problems on the bridge. 580 westbound still slow through livermore. 680 is improving but still slow out of pleasanton, it improves by the time you reach

talking about is right there. it's moving through from ukiah, up to willits getting worst reports of rain there -- getting reports of rain there. middletown, just over .25. calistoga, .17. mill valley, 12/100ths. larkspur about the same. napa, novato, .08. santa rosa, .11. after that it tailed off. san francisco .06. bane wanna vista park .09. clouds and sun later on. this is mainly a morning event. there's our line. we'll take a closer look at it up from ukiah. lakeport, willits, fort bragg. this is light stuff. in the russian river, guerneville, cazadero, bodega bay, to santa rosa, pushing over to st. helena, looks like calistoga. not a lot but heading towards novato, san rafael and tiburon. this is light stuff along the san mateo coast. our system doesn't have a lot to work with here. it's falling apart. we're getting some light rain. a lot of cloud cover. this will not do much for the sierra nevada but a system tomorrow could help. 40s and 50s on the temps. you can see the system right there. after that, there's not much left. again, we'll 'start to wind things down in the next couple of hours. we'll wait for a system to zip down from the northwest tomorrow afternoon and evening. rain totals again, i think is overdone. they will back off. they always do as we get closer to it. i think tomorrow will be more of what we're used to. that's a colder system. not one of these mild systems. the track on this takes us through noon. after that, i believe things calm down before 4:00, 5:00. i think we'll see the rain end. the next system comes down out of the northwest. i think it comes through a little bit later than noon. 2:00, 3:00 looks about right. that will have a lot of cool air with it. the next system on saturday looks to paint the picture for the rain north. i will deal with that on friday. morning rain, clouds. afternoon sun. a little bit of a break. but a cooler, breezy pattern today. highs 60s or even upper 50s. higher elevation, santa cruz mountains. for some up to parts of mendocino county, lake county. it will be tough to get above 60 degrees. we'll get a break tonight. thursday afternoon and evening, fast-moving cool system. that could give snow to the sierra. a cool and breezy day friday. there listen some rain. how far it fakes it remains onen didded. i think rain north but not south. we'll get more rain tomorrow afternoon.

on 2." the lady you are looking at is about to hold a news conference in san jose. it's not begin yet. >> ready? let's try it again. last night at 9:45 p.m., we received a call from a reporting party that there was a subject standing in the street in the 100 block of hayes avenue. it was reported he had a gun and a small child with him. officers responded out to the scene and at that time determined the subject retreated into a residence. we surrounded the house and were able to contain everyone inside the residence. we were able to extract some of the res residents inside. we're searching. our merge team is on scene and clearing the house. we don't have any information about the suspect and whether he's in custody or not at this time. >> how many people were removed from the home? >> at least six people. there were approximately five children. we're still sorting out the information about who lives there and how many people could possibly be inside. this was this morning. >> is that when the flash bangs went off? >> yes. >> our merge unit did respond. they did make entry into the house and are still clearing the residence. >> so six people adults an five children? >> i know there are five children that have been removed from the residence. we're still working on who potentially could have been removed from inside. they are clearing the residence. >> sergeant, are you considering this a hostage situation at this point? >> you know, we're still investigating it. we're not sure what led up to this. we're not entirely sure if we have the suspect in custody. so this still is a static situation. and once we can debrief the residents, we can figure out what happened. >> what triggered this? >> a call from a resident. they reported a subject was in the street with a gun and small child. that's what caused officers to respond to the res residence. we're still clearing the house. we don't know who else is inside. >> is it a house or an apartment? >> i think it's a town home. >> you said there were six people. five of them are children? >> at least. we're still sorting through. they are debriefing witnesses right now and trying to figure out what happened, who could potentially be left inside the residence. once we determine that we can start to piece it together and what precipitated this whole event. >> to you know what the relation is between the people inside? >> we do not know. >> were the kid in any danger at any point? >> we don't know. we're still debriefing and figuring that out. >> do we know if he was pointing a gun at the child or if the child just a happened to be next to the man at the time? >> we don't know. >> was there contact with anyone inside the house overnight or was it -- >> you know, during this whole event, we were attempting to make contact with the residents and there was some success towards the end. but ultimately, they did have to make entry into the residence but people were called out and exited. >> you made entry into the residence. did you spot the man? is he still there or gone? >> we don't know. we're still clearing the residence. >> anything about the school can you -- >> the school is closed until further notice. the principal is still updating us. right now, it's closed. they are not letting anyone on campus. right now anyone on campus is in a shelter in place. >> did you find a gun? >> not yet. we are with's still clearing the -- we're still clearing the residence. we're gonna talk to the residents inside. we did have someone call and report this information to us. that will be part of the process. >> was it one family or multiple families? i have to ask that. >> we don't know their relation yet. but again, they are being debriefed. >> there was a pit bull. >> they were aware of the dog. it's always something we're concerned about but at this time it didn't cause any problems that we're aware of. 13 and under. i don't have their genders or ages just yet. we'll have that once the scene is static. i will have an update for you. 0ing? >> was it a man and woman pulled -- >> i don't have the information. again, our merge unit is on scene. they have them. they are debriefing them as they clear the house. i don't have information about who was pulled out or what the relation is is the subject or if they live there. we don't know that quite yet. >> you are looking for a 7th person? >> we don't know who is left in the house. we don't have a full account. >> if someone is in the house -- it's not like someone is a room and there is a locked door? >> that's correct. our merge unit is scene. when they are done and they've -- they've cleared, they will give us an update. >> the man with the gun, you don't know where he is? >> we don't know at this time. >> one person is in custody? >> we have a few people who are in custody. however, whether they are witnesses or associates, we'll still sorting through. all of them will be debriefed. >> is it possible the man with the gun escaped overnight? >> we don't know. it's very possible, yes. but we'll have to wait until the house is secure until we do a thorough search. it's a very slow and methodical search. once that is completed, we'll have information for you. >> in isn't really a barricaded situation and you are it -- and you are waiting for something to happen? >> it's a slow search. our merge unit is conducting the search. okay? i will have additional information once they are completed with their search. and i get briefed. ive will come out and give you guys another briefing if you would like. okay. thank you. >> all right. we've been listening live, tori, a news conference. that's heather randol of the san jose police department. police surrounding a house in san jose. it was believed a man with a gun was standing in the street with a child last night. the call came in last night. and you can see a lot of police out there. they are inside the house clearing the house and some people have already been taken out. >> they said there were at least -- the sergeant said there were five children, ages 13 and under. didn't know specific gender or ages. this is in the area of larch grove place and hayes avenue. it's near oakgrove high school. sergeant randol did repeat the high school is still closed because of the proximity. if we pan across, you can see from the home, the high school -- it looks like the football field is right across the street. that high school is still closed right now. anyone inside the high school is sheltering in place. it's still to be determined when the high school will be open. we'll keep you posted on that. again, no word on whether the suspect is in custody. and sergeant randol made it clear, they are clearing the home. >> six people have been removed. five children. that's pretty much -- they are still not clear where the man is. >> you saw it live as we saw it. we wanted to bring it to you. we well one you back to "mornings on 2." it's wednesday, november 19th. i'm dave clark. >> i'm tori campbell. we're getting a little bit of rain this morning, causing some problems on the roads. we'll get to sal in a minute. but steve, still showers? >> one more band has to go through. i think the afternoon looks better. we'll have a quick mover tomorrow which will keep some rain in the forecast. some of this rain is -- we haven't had more than .25. most locations have had about 5/100ths to .10. it looks like okay rain up towards lake county. lakeport, back fossum in mendocino county -- back from mendocino county. also moving into marin county. we had some rain briefly. went through antioch, oakley, berkeley after that, there's not a lot. but there's still a little bit. this is the fromment moving into san francisco. south san francisco, the peninsula, san mateo coast down to the santa cruz mountains. after that, there's not a lot let. we'll still have some -- rain in it until about the noon hour or

show you the traffic is going to be slow this morning in some of the pictures. we'll also see the bay bridge toll plaza here. you will see traffic that's busy coming through. no major problems on the bridge. but you are definitely gonna be waiting for about 30 minutes getting onto that span. if you are driving in the main part of the east bay, 580 is slow. so is 880. now 880 northbound is slowing out of san leandro all the way through downtown oakland. not only southbound but northbound and it looks like the san mateo bridge is also getting quite a bit of a slowdown. likewise for the dumbarton bridge. this looks like the peak of the commute. out to 280 northbound this has improved on the way into the valley. 8:08. back to the desk. thank you, sal. some developing news. new development in fact in a potentially dangerous situation in san jose involving an armed man who had barricaded himself inside a home. we just heard san jose police sergeant heather randol say they are in the process of clearing that house right now. they have taken six people out, including five children. but they are not saying whether they have the suspect in custody. it was a man seen with a gun and a small child in the street last night. this is in the area of larch grove place and hayes avenue near oakgrove high school. janine de la vega joins us live now from our san jose newsroom with more on the new information we just learned moments ago. janine? >> reporter: yes. right now, it's still a very active scene out there. it's located directly behind oakgrove high school in south san jose. that police spokeswoman, sergeant heather randol, had said they are doing a search of that hone -- of that home. right now, they don't think they have the man in custody who had the gun. they are unsure. they are in the middle of questioning all sorts of people right now. they are still out there at that scene where you see the live pictures there right now. they had flash bang green neighborhoods -- grenades that went off. let's go to video of what it was like earlier. this s.w.a.t. team used those to troy to get a man inside that house that had barricaded himself. that's what the original report came out as. police responded at 9:45 last night after guesting a call there was a man standing in the street holding a gun and that a child was with him. when officers arrived, the man had already retreated inside the home. soap the s.w.a.t. team came out and has been spending all morning long trying to make contact with people inside that house. now, after that flash bang grenade came out, they said that people were removed from the house. they were saying about five or six children under the age of 13. right now there's no reports of injuries. they are doing a lot of questioning of witnesses. people who were there in that area. so again, a very developing situation. we have put calls into the principal at oakgrove high school. again, this is all happening behind there, as well as the school district. we haven't heard back but the latest police mentioned to us was that school was gonna be closed until this situation was resolved and right now, it's not. so we'll continue to monitor

scene of a barricade situation. it forced oakgrove high school to close down. again, these are live pictures, a very busy street. a lot of activity. you can see up ahead. the police are still in the middle of the street and that area is blocked off. we're in the area of larch grove place and hayes avenue. just a little while ago -- and you saw it live -- police spokesperson heather randol said the situation involves reports of an armed man and several children all under the age of 13. >> there were at least six people. there were approximately five children. we're still sorting out the information about who lives there and how many people could possibly be inside. >> now, so far, we've no reports of injuries. police have decided they will keep the high school closed while the search

on a tuition increase. brian flores in san francisco this morning where a student protest -- this has been underway since early this morning. they are still out there in the rain. brian. >> reporter: yes, they are, dave. good morning. they are very emotional. very upset over this increase. i'm gonna step aside and show you the scene. it's gotten very much calmer than it was since we last saw you about an hour ago. but still, hundreds of students out here this morning, blocking entrances. some holding unsigns saying education is a right, not a privilege. fund us. different signs from students. this is not just a financial hit but an emotional hit because they tell us the hopes and dreams from graduating could be dashed. now, we have met students from all over the state this morning. in terms of this proposal, it's to raise student fees 5% for the next five years. university of california students currently pay about over $12,000 in tuition and fees alone. but if you include other things like food, room and board, it comes out to 30,000 per year. we also spoke to an out of state student from new jersey who says he pays about $55,000 a year. these proposed increases would affect him also. a lot of finger pointing on the gn with the -- going on this morning. the uc says the blame should also go to the state because despite a relatively better economy, there's been little to no funding towards higher ed funding. no question as you mentioned, dave, that will be a very heated discussion going on right now and later on this morning. >> the expense has blown up. it's making it harder and harder on students like me. a lot of other people. you know, decreasing -- >> i think tuition is one of the funding options. the state could support the university more. so when we look at this, the fee issue is -- remember, half of our students pay no tuition at all. we really support our low- income students. i think it's a fair discussion about what we can do for california. >> reporter: we should mention that governor brown, who is expected to attend the meeting later on, does not support the tuition increase. i want to take it back out here live, where several students at the entrances, three of the entrances into the meeting this morning. we have seen students from all over the state, riverside, ucla, berkeley, davis, just to name a few. i can say there's been pushing and shofning as police had to clear paths for the regents to enter the meeting. many regents had to be escorted by the police to enter in. but very emotional. we'll be out there throughout the morning. we'll have another report for the ktvu news at noon on whether they will make a decision for this tuition increase. we're live here in san francisco. brian flores, ktvu channel 2 news. >>

you can't make a commercial for your restaurant at my restaurant! not if you keep interrupting me, i can't. welcome back to "mornings on 2." time is 8:54. we want to give you an update on this hour's developing news from san jose. san jose police just reopened the streets around the scene of that barricade situation that's believed to have involved an armed man and seven children. this is in the area of larch grove place and hayes avenue just behind oakgrove high school. police just told us they still have not found the suspect. the children were in the home where the police fought the man -- thought the man was barricaded but police removed all of the children safely. we also just found out that nearby oakgrove high school will reopen at 9:15 this morning, just 20 minutes from right now. again, we'll have much more on what is happening in san jose on the cute news at noon -- ktvu news at noon. netflix is postponing bill cosby's upcoming comedy special. they haven't said why but this comes after a growing number of allegations that bill cosby allegedly sexually assaulted women. the most recent claim is by a former supermodel, janice dickenson. she claims he sexually assaulted her in lake tahoe in 1982. cosby and his advisers reportedly agree with the decision by netflix. no word on when cosby's special called bill cosby 77 will air. 8:5 a. there is exciting news from the space probe that's still riding a comet toward the sun. the lander has discovered carbon which is the basis for all life forms on the comet. scientists say that could mean comets brought the building blocks of life to our planet. the european team says it's still interpreting information sent by the lander. right now the probe still-- still does not have power. scientists hope as the comet approaches the sun, fresh sunlight will power the lander's solar panel. this year's people's magazine is a demigod, chris hemsworth took home the title for sexiest man alive. he's a father to three young children. he told "people" magazine if nothing else, it should excuse him from doing dishes and changing diapers for two weeks, if his wife is smart, she will say yeah, right, buddy. >> bravo to him. hey, sal, you are still the man. >> well, thank you, dave, tori. [laughter] >> you know, i am afraid i have bad traffic news. things are not clearing up as we hoped for this commute getting in san francisco. still a big crowd here at the toll plaza. kind of lining up. very big crowd. if you are driving on 880 northbound in oakland. look at all of that slow traffic coming up. it's kind of this late morning commute. it doesn't end. a little windy there. if you are driving in marin county, it's slow from novato to san rafael on southbound 101. let's go to steve. thank you, sir. some rain is moving through. it looks like the front is about ready to get through, not a lot of rain but 57/100ths up in cazadero. that will be the most, generally less than .10. we'll get another system thursday afternoon, evening. that will be a much cooler system than rain to the north on saturday. next week looking dry. >> all right. >> but it's thanksgiving next week. might not be a bad thing for people traveling. >> correct. >> all right. that's our report for this morning. we thank you for making ktvu your choice near news. at noon, more on today's big meeting in san francisco, the uc board of regents and the tuition increase. thank you for joining us. television announcer: mattress discounters' $197 mattress sale $197 mattress sale is ending soon. bulldog: mattress discounters' $197 mattress sale! television announcer: right now, you can get a serta mattress, any size, for just $197 each piece when you buy the complete set. bulldog: any size mattress - twin, full, queen, or king - for one low price! and they'll deliver it free. television announcer: the $197 mattress sale... bulldog: oh boy! television announcer: ...is ending soon. ♪ mattress discounters my grandkids bought this nest learning thermostat. programs itself... connects to their precious phones. i don't like it. being cold builds character. walking back and forth to the thermostat builds leg muscles. when the internets come to life and all these gizmos turn on us, these kids won't be able to run away on those shriveled little calves. will they love their nest thermostat then? i don't think so. the nest learning thermostat. welcome to a more thoughtful home. if you put a python wrapped around a pet, you have to think -- >> that dog is done for, but no. >> one of the greatest escapes ever. >> it's a russian dash cam video that gets real weird, really quickly. >> the groom better think this one through. >> do you want to start your marriage with divorce? >> what happens when he decides to go for it. >> plus the buzz word for your shot at a new ipad mini. >> the new
we are not done yet with the team coverage. we have reporters out there and sal is watching the roads. how is it looking right now? well, the rain is picking up, the cold air is working its way in and the cool, unstable air will produce the possibility of a thunder shower again today. a shower is picking up in the north bay and off of the san mateo, santa cruz coast. and more rain lines in the sierra nevada and southern california where they are having all sorts of issues. you can see here near santa rosa the rain is coming on shore. fort bragg and the new point arena a little rain. hayward is quiet, however, it is right offshore heading to santa cruz and the monterey peninsula. in the past 24 hours i have tried to get as many rainfall totals as i can. take a look here. sunnyvale had 4.06. fairfax had 4.81. if you have totals send them to me and i will do my best to get them on the air. the snow level is around 5,000 feet. blue canyon is reporting snow. 40s and 50s on the temps. shower activity today then things will calm down tonight. we will have a lot of fog over the weekend. maybe patchy fog and possible thunderstorms here. 50s on the temps. sal, things are getting busy for you already? that is right. southbound 10 is a crash near oyster point, north of oyster point and sierra point parkway after candlestick park as you are driving south toward the airport. there is flooding. there was also a crash involving an overturned vehicle in the area. the crash has been cleared, but the flooding remains and the traffic is going to be busy as you drive south because they closed off one lane. in fact, it seems rather suspicious that there is flooding in an area right where a crash occurred, so putting two and two together, i am not positive but this could have led to the crash on 101 at bay shore. please had careful and expect delays. 280 to 380 is a good alternate route or if you know your way around south city, you could do that, as well but i would say use 280 to 380 to save yourself time. northbound 280 traffic is moderately heavy but still looking good driving town highway 17. and there goes caltrain. caltrain is much better today than yesterday after all that flooding. today the traffic on the system is doing well. 6:03. let's go back to the desk. now from the south bay that sal was talking about up to the north bay where more rain is falling at this hour. it is easing a bit but flooding remain as big concern up there. alex savage is live in petaluma to show us one neighborhood dealing with significant flooding. alex? >> reporter: yes, pam. good morning to you. this area in petaluma was overwhelmed why the rain it got yesterday and the morning the water levels are beginning to fall, but still you can see behind me on petaluma boulevard north, standing water is still an issue and this roadway is shut down right at the 101 freeway here. we will show you the scene. we have crews on standby. they are essentially waiting for the water to recede in this area. part of the problem is the petaluma river is not far away and it is over running its banks yesterday when things were really coming down. here is what it looked like in the early evening hours. a lot of people that lived close by were caught off guard by the rising floodwaters. many of them trying to get to higher ground or sent to shelters nearby. fire crews were checking on people to see if they were okay and needed help. emergency crews had to rescue some folks trapped by rising floodwaters. there were a dozen people working in an industrial part of town who were loaded on to rafts, and others, at the same time, waited for the water to go down. >> we have approximately 30 people sheltered and this place. we are looking at localized stream flooding and basing operations as such. we should be close to peak dependant on weather. >> reporter: this was the scene this morning as the waters rose yesterday. many people were forced to abandon cars and we saw a couple cars sitting along stoney point road, a couple blocks from where we are this morning off of petaluma boulevard north. live, again, petaluma boulevard north remains shut down in both directions at 101. crews here tell me they are waiting for the later to we seed but with more rain beginning to fall it -- to recede, but with more rain beginning to fall, it will likely take a couple hours for this area to open back up. >> thank you, alex. scary times for shoppers in a safeway store in san jose, with part of the roof collapsing because of the big storm. tara moriarty is at the safeway near capital expressway at silver creek road where the roof there could cave in again. >> reporter: yes. no one is being allowed inside because of the danger of yet another collapse. this building has been red- tagged and this building will not be opening again any time soon. >> it was loud. it sounded like thunder. >> reporter: that noise sent workers and shoppers scrambling to get out. part of the roof came crumbling down. by ground and air police and fire determined the hole was 50x50 feet with cracks extending out another 50 feet. >> it could still collapse. that is why the building is still secured. nobody will be going in there. >> reporter: crews went in looking for people but everyone appeared to get out unscathed except for one person with a minor injury. the building has been red tagged, as well as another store that share as common wall with safeway. as far as what caused this, firefighters say it could have been standing water from the weather we have been having. i am tara moriarty, ktvu fox 2 news. this week's monster storm created incredible scenes you rarely see in the bay area. look at this video from berkeley. that is just the top of one car after the underpass flooded near ashby avenue and i-880. people who live in this area say this section of ashby often has stabbing water, even on dry days. >> this undercrossing is wet july 1st. there is always water under it, so i don't know why anybody would try to ride through it. >> highway crews worked until well past midnight to remove the cars and reopen the underpass. the owner of a san francisco dine their flooded is blaming the city rather than mother nature for their misfortune. the stable cafe is located at 17th and folsom street in the mission district. even though it is paved over there, the creek flows when it rains. workers sandbagged the buildings ahead of the storms but yet this place was flooded for the fourth time in the last six years. the stable owners say the city has made the situation worse by repaving folsom street, causing the street to be higher than the homes and businesses. well, sfo say there is are only nine canceled flights this morning, a big improvement after more than 250 flights were canceled yesterday. no major problems expected at the oakland and san jose airports, however, if you are flying today, it is pretty wise to check on your flight ahead of time. if you are headed to sfo this morning, you may want to go buy food before you go to the airport. this is day two of a strike by a thousand airport restaurant workers who walked off the job yesterday over concerns about job security and health care. the walkout shut down most of the airport restaurants right at the peak of the storm. the workers are expected to be back on the job tomorrow. alameda police are investigating the death of a pedestrian struck and killed by an ac transit was. it happened yesterday evening at otis drive and grand boulevard. the man who died, investigators say, was walking in a crosswalk when a bus hit him. police are questioning the does driver to determine how it happened. starting this afternoon bart riders and holiday shoppers can ask for safety excorts at three oakland stations. it is there to curve crime for people riding back from the city. volunteers and crew will be on hand to walk people back to their cars. it runs from 4:00 to 7:00 at the west oakland, fruitdale and macarthur bart stations. you can identify the escorts because they will be wearing yellow safety vests. that is great. yes. the time is 6:10. we are talking power outages from yesterday, a transformer fire by the san francisco busy union square. and catching waves, where you would least expect it. tahoe is pulling out surfboards. >> at the macarthur maze, we have a little slowing, just around the corner where you get to the bridge it is backed up there. it is now gone there at the bay bridge, but we will tell you what happened to make it a little slower. and quieter on the commute but there is an area of rain coming from the san mateo santa cruz coastline. . welcome back to mornings on 2. it is 6:13. this is high surf on lake tahoe. >> dude! >> yes. >> yes! waves like this on the happen a couple times a year. the water temperature there is only about 50. >> get your board, sal! let's check it out. >> wow! well, the toll plaza is a little slow with a lot more traffic volume. yesterday was an unusual day. all school were closed and a lot of parents stayed home and a lot of office were closed but today in san francisco it is ability back to normal, now backed up to the maze. let's talk about the commute on i-880. it looks good in both directions. yesterday at this time i was looking at a lot of wind here. it was windy yesterday at this time but right now it looks much better as you drive through. southbound 101 near sierra point there is flooding in one of the lanes and a little slowdown. you could use 280 to 380 at an alternate route. remember the slow down is in the right lane. if you are driving on the east shore freeway this morning not a lot of slow traffic yet, but it is getting busy in the richmond area and slow traffic on the richmond san family and friends yell bridge into morin county. steve, how about weather center? >> we are the storm brothers! >> that is right. i like that! >> thank you, sal. rain is picking up a little bit. rain has turned to snow in tahoe and tricky. they had light rain and now snow. patchy fog and more embedded thundershowers and brief heavy rain forming off the marine coast to the san mateyo and santa cruz area. see the long line there? nothing compared to what we had yesterday at this time. some of the rain beginning in the north bay, cloverdale to lake port. i will have rain totals in a second. hidden valley lake. clear lake is okay. south of that at windsor and petaluma, thank you for all the information there. our observer, gary, said, man, i could not get out of the house yesterday. but today we could see more thundershowers or brief, heavy rain along the coast. within the next hour things could pick up here. i try to get as many rain totals thanks to each of you. take a look at these totals. redwood shores hat 6.90 by a observer patrick. chris kimball over 5.75. and santa rosa spectacular. 7.68 there. some of the areas there that picked up rain in the last 24 hours are really good. santa rosa 5 inches of rain. anywhere you want to look it is at least 3 to 4. look at that. fremont 3. livermore 3. fairfield 3. napa 3.75. san family and friends yell 4.5 inches of rain. 4-plus for redwood city. sunnyvale 4. there is a line that goes along the coast moving in. this it will colder air moving its way in. it looks like snow on the go beginning to pick up in the sierra so a winter storm warning goes until 10:00. i mean if you have to go now, good luck on that. 40s and 50s on the temps. a cool day. the main bulk of the system in southern california and town the sierra, kind of a showery, cold day with brief, heavy downpours and possible thunderstorms. any breaks in the clouds would help. i think we are in line for thunder shower activity today and even patches of fog out there, but more likely late tonight and tomorrow. one more day of active weather today and a lot of fog in the nights and mornings over the weekend. the system on monday will not be as strong. >> all right, steve. time now 6:18. new snow in the sierra the morning. 2 feet of snow fell in the higher elevations and tahoe got almost a foot of snow. our favorite reporter

died down to next to nothing. at blue canyon it is 32 degrees with a good, steady snowfall. very light traffic up here. caltrans did a great job overnight, i will not say clearing the roads but grooming the roads because they are still covered in snow but it is easy travel if you are prepared for the wintery conditions up here. what a sight. this is more snow than we had all of last year here at blue canyon so hopefully this will be the norm for the season. last year it was mostly sand here, so the good news is we have snow here and hopefully it will keep oncoming. and this is just a foot-and-a- half at the base. i can't wait to hear the snowfall totals at the top. will it be great. >> thank you. >> brian, steve paulson has to talk to you about the snow up there. >> brian, the

nicholass in oakland and san francisco, california. happy christmas. merry christmas. >> happy new year! . welcome back to the morning news. time 6:24. the head of the california highway patrol in the bay area is defending what an undercover officer did when he pointed his gun as protestors in oakland. this photo taken by a bay city news photographer shows the chp officer holding the gun sideways. the chp says two undercover officers mixed in with a crowd of protestors, but when someone outed them as police, protestors started attacking them. at one point one of the officers pulled out his gun. >> he drew the weapon to identify himself. >> it was excessive. when you take police who are not accustomed to the situations like this, bad things are going to happen. >> now the chp says the mission of those officers was to keep protestors off the highways. the alameda county district attorney is reviewing the incident now. in washington, d.c. a large group of african-american congressional staffers staged a protest right on the steps of the u.s. capitol about the police killing in missouri and new york. they raised their arms in the hands up, don't shoot gesture used by demonstrators

$1.1 trillion spending bill to avoid a government shutdown after the house approved the bill just before midnight last night. that was supposed to be the deadline, but since house approval came so late the senate was given a 48 hour extension to take up the measure. democrats object to some republican add-ons in the spending bill, but no one wants to see a government shutdown. the pass many would fund most government agencies through next september. the american dream shows owning a home is more affordable but not because house prices are still falling. zillow says homeowners earning an

there a difference between thunderstorms and thundershowers? if i want to know. >> well, no. >> good. good. i learned something. >> when you say a shower that sounds like it is not that bad. when you say a thunderstorm then you have lightning, thunder, possible hail, you can get more severe weather. >> thank you, steve. always an education working with that fellow there. let's go out and take a look at the commute now starting with the east shore. 80 westbound not a bad commute. more cars on the road and looking more like a normal commute than yesterday when it because ghost town but for good reason. this is a look at the bay bridge toll plaza with an earlier stall. things are finally recovered. the drive time is 30 minutes to san francisco with no rage issues. on the peninsula the flooding southbound 101 near the sierra point parkway may have led to an earlier crash in the area that is gone. being the careful driver that you are, you will stay out of the right lane or use 280 to 380. 63:003. back to the desk. >> sal, thank you. many bay area roads are still dealing with standing water this morning. while conditions are getting better from yesterday's storm, it is still affecting a lot of things. ktvu's alex savage is joining us now live in petaluma where one roadway along highway 101 is still a mess. >> reporter: good morning. we have rain still falling here in petaluma. at the height of the storm yesterday the water was at least a couple feet deep in this neighborhood behind us. now you can see it has receded quite a bit overnight, but still enough standing water that petaluma boulevard north is shut down still in both directions right at 101. the concern, obviously, is the hazardous driving condition that is this poses for people who would be passing through this area so the road remains closed right now. this area got overwhelmed by the rain yesterday and on top of that, the petaluma river not far away overran its banks, as well. this is what things looked like in the early evening hours at high tide. many people were caught off guard by the rising floodwaters and how quickly they rose. people and their pet are with seen wading, trying to get to higher ground. we saw firefighter driving through the neighborhoods, as well, checking on people and seeing if they needed to be rescued. one people tell me their house was swamped by rising flood waters. >> around christmas time, all our presents and trees were getting wet. it was frustrating and scary. we can't go home and have to find somewhere to live. >> reporter: all the rain led to a number of rescues in this area. a dozen people working in a industrial part of petaluma were put on to rafts and some of them were loaded into high profile trucks in order to get home because the waters rose so fast. again, petaluma north off of 101 remains shut down in both directions because of all the standing water in this area. crews tell me it could be several more hours here before the roadways reopen. live to you in the studio, i am alex savage. and the russian liver's bridge there, the guerneville bridge, expected to overflow today after a day of all the rain. flood stage is 32 feet but water levels are expected to hit 35 feet, probably flooding homes and businesss in the low lying areas. people in that area have been advised to leave that area. a safeway store in san jose is closed indefinitely after part of the roof collapse from the all the rain. it happened yesterday afternoon at the safeway at east capitol expressway near silver creek road. a 50 square foot section of the roof came crashing down. fortunately there were very few customers inside the grocery store because of the big storm and there was just one minor injury but the roof collapsing caused tense moments. >> you could hear it. it was loud. it sounded like thunder. i felt a lot of adrenaline going and going. i just had to call 9-1-1 and freaked out. >> well, firefighters fear the roof now could cave in and san jose safety inspectors have red- tagged the building until they are certain it is safe. in oakland two, families are wondering what to do next after a retaining wall collapsed and damaged their home. yesterday's unrelenting rain caused the ground to shift on blandon road. a retaining wall collapsed and slid right into the side of the house below. the uphill neighbor who owns the wall says she has been concerned about its stability for about a year. >> you could tell it was shifting and moving. i had been telling the city i believe there is water coming from somewhere with all this pressure. >> city inspectors yellow- tagged both of the homes and are trying to figure out what to do next. pg&e shut off natural gas service to one of the homes because debris is crushing the gas meter. for now the homeowners have been told to find other places to stay. in wine country, soggy but trying to dry out. look at this in the napa area, the napa river reaching the 16- foot flood stage, but we are told the water levels there are now falling. in santa cruz a boy suffered a broken arm after a huge tree crashed down outside his school. a photographer for the santa cruz sentinel took this image of the firefighters. they had to use chain saws to get the boy out. this happened at gateway elementary school. a worker says the wind blew over an 80-foot tall cyprus just before school started yesterday. the 11-year-old boy was pinned for 15 minutes and rushed to the hospital as soon as he was free. a young girl was hit by the tree and suffered scrapes. after the incident the school was shut down for the day. time is 6:38. many bay area school districts canceled classes yesterday but will reopen this morning. several school districts will stay closed today, including novato, santa rosa and healdsburg. many other districts in hard- hit sonoma county will be closed, too. sonoma and south san francisco have also canceled classes, however school is opened in

there is also about a thousand in the east bay that have no power. about 500 in the peninsula and the south bay. only 10 customers have no power right now in san francisco. these numbers have

they battled a fire at a building on williams street not far from i-880. crews were able to put out the fire in only 30 minutes and not much damage has been done to the building, but there is still no word on how the fire started. police found the body of the owner of a home yesterday afternoon around 4:00. the ten understand has been arrested. police believe the two had a heated argument before the shooting occurred. a woman was found unconscious wednesday at the livermore mall parking lot, suffering a major head injury. police are now asking anyone that may have seen what happened to please come forward. investigators say the woman is from arizona and that she came here to the bay area on business. they don't know how she was hurt, but witnesses reported seeing a white, four-door sedan leaving the scene about the same time she was discovered. 6:41 is the time right now. it has become a bit of a crime tradition. but bart is offering holiday shoppers to feel safe with something new,

tara moriarty is in the east bay. you just arrived in union city where a tree crashed down on a residential facility. tara? >> reporter: yes. this is an incredible sight. it is so dramatic. a huge eucalyptus tree came crashing down on this care facility. this was over in the creek bed, sort of a flood area. i guess this soil simply could not support this large of a tree. it came crashing down into two bedrooms, narrowly missing two elderly people who are living here. the tree went doo two different bedrooms at the same time. we are trying to get inside a little bit better to show you just how close it came to the bed, but luckily the people inside were okay. there are about five to six people we are told that are in this residential care facility. they are all fine. one is across the

don't see this often. you can see that sometimes you are getting very cold air over the warm sea surface temperatures. the unstable air mass is beginning to work its way in and the possibility of thundershowers is associated with that, not only with that line but later today. to the north we are seeing rain begin to pickup. this looks like rain, or as we say a general area of rain, nothing too heavy. cloverdale, 101 to healdsburg and windsor with rain. around morin county it looks like a cell there is beginning to work its way in, as well. kind of hit and miss here. 24-hour rainfall totals,

are learning about the situation. good morning, brian. >> reporter: hi, tori, good morning. we're on liberty and rayburn in the noe valley. this is one of the cars that was suspiciously lit on fire this morning. in fact, san francisco fire arson investigators say at least three other cars were suspiciously lit on fire just before 4:00 this morning. now, arson investigators say at least, again, four cars hit on fair, mainly in the knowwy valley area -- noe valley area. owner was woke up by his car alarm. he went outside and saw the flames coming from the car. he called 911. fire crews came here and put it out. the owner us used a -- used a garden hose to try to protect his home as well. san francisco fire investigators responded quickly to putting this fire out and three other suspicious car fires early this morning. >> i can see the flames coming up over the wall. i knew that my car was parked right in front. totally freaked out. yelled to wake up my neighbor or my roommate. we came outside and the car was billowing smoke and flames. >> we have taken some evidence. we're talking to owners of the vehicles. we're canvassing the neighborhoods for witnesses. >> reporter: there are no known suspects at this time, but again, as you heard, investigators also asking residents for any surveillance camera footage or witnesses to couple forward. the other locations are not far from here. we're on liberty and rayburn but the investigators say all of these fires happened, again, four, within a 15-block radius. a mercedes-benz was also lit on fire not too far from here. this is damage this morning to this jeep here this morning and three other cars as well. there was another incident that we're hearing about that happened in november of this year, similarly in the castro valley. i asked arson investigators whether there is any headway on that accident. they say not at this point. but they are asking any witnesses to come forward. back to you, tori. >> very frightening. fortunately, nobody was hurt. brian flores live in san francisco, thank you. 7:06. cleanup crews in the south bay have a big job ahead of them. that's where a huge tree toppled down onto

oversaturated because of all of the recent rain, and this is what you tend to get. check out the huge tree that came crashing down last night on this apartment complex. the building was damaged. we understand a parked car was smashed as well. this happened last night during a period of heavy rain here in the south bay. this tree is on burbank drive in santa clara and it gave way and toppled over again last night during the storm. the good news in all of this, is that no one was hurt out here. all of the rain triggered flooding across the south bay. that included an underpass that was overwhelmed by floodwaters in san jose. there were also flooding issues on a nearby freeway as well. this is what 280 looked like near bird avenue in san jose. one car got stuck in floodwaters after a crash in that area. caltrans crews, they worked into the night to pump out water from the freeway and all lanes of the freeway now back open to traffic. as we bring you back out here live in santa clara this morning, this huge tree, again, continuing to rest against this apartment building this morning. obviously, a major cleanup job. you can see some of the branches have been cut away. they were cut away overnight. but still there's gonna be an extensive amount of work that has to be done to clear the tree from the building. no one can stay here for the time being, dave. >> that is incredible. it's gonna take hours to clear all of that away. >> reporter: you can imagine. >> thank you, alex. >> reporter: sure. marin county supervisors have declared a state of emergency following

best. i kid you not. they are. breaks in the clouds. not going to last. some of the rain totals coming in, yesterday thank goodness that system did not stall out, slow down or we would have been in trouble. that was intense rainfall. the winter outlook if you haven't seen, above normal from about central california, southern california through much of the four corners, texas, much of the deep south and into the carolinas. you are saying we should draw that line farther north. it's not winter yet, it starts in four days. this weekend officially. our wettest months, january and february. terry, she sent me a note that said only 2.75. i said only. 2.75. cazadero 1.50. sleepily hollow, 1.30. sfo, .75. oakland, .75. san francisco .23. many people have brought this up. we've mentioned it. the sierra nevada is not in on this party. they are getting some snow but i mean, we take the bulk of the precipitation heavy and then these systems are sliding more south and east. by the time they get in the sierra, they all part. it doesn't mean they are not getting know. they are not getting the heavy snow or the winter storm warnings or the blizzard warnings. it's getting general snow, which is good. it still adds up. we get the rain and it continues from vallejo wrapping back -- an intense system around fremont/union city. just like that. it disappeared. it's moving rapidly into the san jose foothills. there's still some coming down out of the most direction. and some of that might give us -- this next system, they've been woefully underdone on the projections. this will be a weaker system that comes in this evening overnight. so showers this morning. mostly cloudy, some rain develops by this afternoon. it won't be heavy. but you can see coming down out of the northwest from -- it looks like sfo right along the peninsula down to the santa cruz mountains, we're still getting some rain. this is a little guy. it's moving quick. that's the good news. 40s on the temps. 50s. 31 reno and lake tahoe. 40s for many, including ukiah and also monterey. one more system -- one and a half really. there will be system on friday. that one is looking weaker. i still think we'll get rain out of it. clouds, showers, maybe a few breaks. some sun in the morning. 40, some of the higher elevations. 50s for the other temps. rain develops takes us into tonight. we get a break at least mostly dry on thursday/friday. it does not look that heavy. the weekend should be okay except for fog in the valley. that can be a serious problem. >> maybe mid-60s along the coast. >> thank you, steve. tensions run high at a city council meeting addressing recent protests in berkeley. >> do not go home and think this is our problem. i promise you each one of you, i will make it your personal problem. >> the demands some of the protesters are making of the city and what the mayor is doing in response. plus did they or didn't they, the new evidence that three inmates could have survived escaping from alcatraz and the unlikely way researchers stumbled upon it. a new public lights sculpture in san francisco has the green light from supervisors. take a look. each time a muni light rail vehicle travels underground beneath market street, l.e.d. lights will streak along the upper part of the street reflecting the movement of the trains. the artist plans to string 124,000 leds along the overhead system that carries the muni power lines. >> the idea came from wanting to reimagine the every day and take something we all experience on a daily basis and help transform it into a moment of wonder and awe. >> the project will be completely funded by private donations. fund-raising starts next month. the creators hope to have the light rail project up and running by june. >> that's fascinating. 7:26. so is this -- we're hearing. new possibilities surrounding one of san francisco's great mysteries. did these three men who escaped ail ka vez in 1962 survive -- alcatraz in 1962 survive? now, the three men made it out of their cells but their bodies were never found. now, a team of dutch researchers now say there's a chance they made it safely to shore but only if they left at the right time and rode in the right direction in their makeshift raft made out of 50 rain coats. now, the researchers originally designed a computer model sea level rise. one of them realized that could apply to the escape. so they tweaked it. each dot represents a different time of departure. it shows if they left between 11:00 p.m. and midnight and they paddled north, they could have made it from alcatraz to the shore on the north side of the golden gate bridge. but if they left any time after midnight, the tide reverses. their raft would have been pushed back into the bay which would have meant almost a certain death from hypothermia. >> what should you do if you fall into the san francisco bay? the u.s. coast guard held a demonstration of cold water safety yesterday to gift folks an idea how to survive until helps arrives. experts caution the first thing to watch out for is an involuntary reflex when you hit the water. after that they recommend conserving heat by crawling up, crossing your hands over your chest, bringing your knees up to your elbows an crossing your ankles. volunteers who tried to do it yesterday said they were shocked at how cold the water water felt and how quickly it affected them physically. 7:28. fallout over the sony pictures hacking has now exploded. up next, how the shadowy group is threatening violence now against moviegoers. ♪ it's the most

in australia continue to deal with the aftermath of this week's deadly hostage situation as a memorial grows for the victims, australian authorities are being asked why the man responsible was not being closely monitored. during the monday morning rush hour, man haron monis took 17 people hostage inside a cafe in downtown sydney. after police stormed the building, 16 hours later, two hostages and the gunman were dead. man haron monis had an extensive criminal background as was known for his public radical views. despite that, he was not on any government watch list. we're hearing from one of the survivors of the hostage situation. 83-year-old john o'brian was one of the first people to escape from the cafe. he's offering condolences to those friends and family of the victims. tori johnson died when he tried to grab the gunman's weapon. katrina dawson died when trying to shield her pregnant friend from the gunfire. >> my thoughts are with those affected by this terrible event.

terrorist threat is affecting a major motion picture due to be released in theaters, christmas day. pam cook is in the newsroom now. you have the details pam and how it's related to that hack attack on sony. >> yeah, the movie, "the interview" is a comedy about television journalists involved in a cia plot to assassinate the leader of north korea. it premiered in los angeles last week without incident. but now the manhattan premiere set for tomorrow has been canceled at this point. the hackers behind the sony pictures attack on its computer systems are now threatening a real attack on movie theaters. the threat makes references to the 9/11 attacks and a warning to theatergoers about showing the movie. >> take precautions. make sure the movie theaters are as safe as we can make them. >> now, the two stars of the film seth rogen and james franco have pulled out of a number of public appearances after the threats. investigators say they are uncertain if the hackers would issue a cyber response or a physical attack. they also say it does appear that the threat is coming out of north korea. now, over the summer, north korea denunessed the film and -- denounced the film and the government warned the release would be an act of war. in our next hour of "mornings on 2," more on what homeland security department here in the u.s. says about this terrorist threat. reporting

to make all of these costume changes and juggling with these big, huge hats on top of your head. i mean, are you back there -- do you have a team of people helping you? >> we have an amazing team of people. they are spectacular. it is the hardest part of the show, i find, are the changes. once you get out on stage, it's easy. it's pure joy. it's the changing of the socks and the pants and the shoes. >> we're choreographed back stage as much as we are on stage. we all know exactly where we're supposed to be. so that's what makes it a much easier flow. so the audience, it looks like it's

what's going on? oh, my god. fortunately, there was nobody around. i was like oh, my god. what's going on? where is everybody? >> reporter: meantime, all of that rain overnight triggered flooding across the south bay. that included an underpass that was overwhelmed by floodwaters in san jose. there were also flooding issues on a nearby freeway. this was the scene on 280 near bird avenue in san jose where a car got stuck in floodwaters. caltrans crews worked into the night to pump all of the water out and the lanes back open to traffic. as we bring you back out here live, we understand the family who lives in this apartment, they are being helped out by the red cross and being put up elsewhere this morning. and we also understand it will be an extensive cleanup operation here. it will take a number of hours to clear this tree, dave, from the top of this apartment building but the good news, no one hurt out here. >> has the work -- have workers been out there this morning -- all right. i'm looking over your shoulder. they are climbing -- >> reporter: i was just gonna tell you. let me step out of the way. as i speak, almost right on cue, yeah, we have seen -- no work has happened yet but this morning but we've seen a number of workers from tree trimming companies come out here kind of af sing the -- kind of assessing the damage and trying to see how long it might take. i talked to one tree trimmer a few minutes ago. he told me it would probably take hours. so probably a good part of the day will be spent clearing this tree. you can imagine. look at the size of that trunk. >> sure. >> you can imagine that it's gonna take a long time. of course, you have to get in there and assess how much damage was done to the apartment building as well and -- this will be at the very least a full-day operation here, if not it might take even more -- several more days. climbing down. i hope -- he has to be careful here. >> it's slippery. >> reporter: this is a slippery tree. >> and then you have to try to peat the rain at well. marin county supervisors declared a state of emergency after a week of all of the stormy weather. yesterday's declaration allowed the county to apply for both state and federal aid. now, fixing just one levee in novato that will cost about a million dollars. roads have been washed out, trees and power lines, they've fallen across marin county. marin joins these bay area counties that have declared or thinking about declaring a state of emergency because of storm damage. 8:09. despite the recent rain, experts are reminding us, yes, california is still in a drought. we're learning how much more water it will take to end the crisis. nasa says we need 11 trillion gallons of water to refill the sacramento and san joaquin river basins. nasa used its climate satellites to determine that figure. last thursday's storm was a start. it dumped a billion and a half gallons of water on resserrer voyeurs in the east bay and the -- reservoirs in the east bay alone. senator jerry hill will introduce a bill aimed at certain kinds of athletic fields. right now some synthetic turf is made up with ground up, recycled tires. but there are fears that can cause cancer. this would require a new study examining possible health risks. in the meantime, schools and local governments would be banned from putting down synthetic tougher before that study is cleat. >> you are not allowed to burn them or bury them. you are not allowed to do a lot of things because they are deemed unsafe, yet we can spread them around our athletic playing fields. >> that study would need on completed in a year and a half. the ban on synthetic turf fields would be for two years. 8:10. san francisco mayor ed lee said the city is taking another step at improving the service of muni while protecting the environment. the mayor has announced the purchase of 61 additional hybrid diesel buses. muni bought 112 buses last year. they run on less fuel and emit less pollution. the new buses cost $68 million and they help replace an aging fleet. the money comes from federal grants, bridge tolls and a voter approved proposition. i love the big red bow. >> i like that, too, tori. 8:10. there's more fallout this morning from that sony scandal. it's rocked hollywood. coming up in 21 minute, the attack allegedly planned for christmas day. it threatens innocent moviegoers across the country. but first, don't mess with mama. the live on-air moment that left arguing brothers speechless. good morning. we are looking at a commute that's getting a little bit better in some areas. still very slow. here in san jose, northbound 280 actually looks good passing 17. a couple of breaks in the clouds. it won't last too long. mostly cloudy skies. scattered showers. we're waiting on our next system. it's not that far away. we'll show you that and other rain totals that keep pouring in.

now. we have a rockslide and mudslide on highway 84 pleasanton, sunol grade. this is just adding insult to injury because that whole area has been terrible. we've had rain moving through and steve will talk about that but the east bay commute is not doing well. let's start with highway 4 which has improved. it's improved coming up to the willow pass grade. 680 traffic has been a little bit slow heading down to walnut creek. but when you get to the bay bridge toll plaza, we've had a big delay here of 30 to 40 minutes getting into san francisco. then you look at the east bay. i want to show you the maps here. almost everywhere you look, there is slow traffic. and traffic getting out of pleasonton is going to be slow on 680, although it's improved a little bit now that they've removed the truck at vargas road. southbound 880 from 238 solid traffic all the way down to milpitas. and then 84 and the dumbarton bridge and the san mateo bridge are slow. last time i didn't mention the south bay, 85 and 280 are better than 101 which is very slow. again, i was kind of hoping we would start to see a lighter commute, traffic as we get closer to christmas. we will. but not today. 8:18. hello,

-- hidden break, vallejo. benicia. and picking up from petaluma, novato, into marin county. not heavy or anything. but it's starting to show a little bit more coverage in intensity. east bay even towards 680/580 split. and right back into san jose over to the peninsula. east pal, dumbarton bridge and then into sunnyvale, cupertino and right back into the santa cruz mountains. we're getting there. there's not a lot here. if you are getting some of that rain, it's the leading edge of our next system. it's already getting very close here. we'll move this in. get some steady rain. it looks like another day where we continue to add to these incredible rain totals. 40s and 50s. kind of a cold, damp morning. 29 tahoe. some snow, nice, beautiful picture. fb it was snow in the sierra, we

energy like the one before. a few breaks in the morning. a lot of cloud, showers will give way to cloudy skies and rain. the afternoon commute looks worse. here's sal with an update on your traffic. we have a mudslide, steve, on the -- on niles canyon road between 680 and mission boulevard. i'm gonna put it on a map. they've issued a sig-alert. they've closed this road. a lot of people try to use it, especially this morning. people were using it because 680 was such a mess. they wanted to avoid the freewayen. that's not a good idea. this is also known as pleasanton and sunol grade. don't use it. stay on 680 which has not been good. 880 has been slow from 238 and northbound 880 slow from 238 all the way up into downtown oakland. this wednesday, i don't know. not getting a good grade from this traffic reporter. if you get to the bay bridge toll plaza, you will be waiting for about 20, 25 minutes. so it has improved a little bit. steve -- you heard steve say we might see rain and that

without incident. but now the manhattan premiere set for tomorrow has been canceled as a precaution. the u.s. department of homeland security says there's no credible evidence that the threat is real. >> we believe and i personally believe that most of this is done to put terror through messaging into the people of america. if we react to that, then to use the phrase that gets overused, the terrorists win. >> the two stars of the film have pulled out of a number of public appearances after those threats. investigators say they are uncertain if the hackers would issue a cyber response or a physical attack. this morning, there are reports that carmike cinemas has canceled all plans showing "the interview." no official comment from the national association of theater owners but there's

heater and an hour later that's when the fire started here on martin avenue. there is a fire investigator who parked on the street. he's inside the home. he's investigating to see if the cause was the heater or something else. firefighters say a husband and wife and their two children woke up to the sound of their smoke alarm and windows breaking from the fire at their home near university and middlefield avenue. they were able to escape before fire crews arrived who found the flames burning in the back and the side of the home. they were able to extinguish the flames. the homeowner told firefighters about an odor burning plastic, as i mentioned, right before the fire started about an hour. and the chief says this situation serves as a reminder to homeowners to call for help if they smell something suspicious. >> if you smell things likes that in your house that -- things like that in your house that are unusual, that's what the fire department is here for. call us any time day

to the der -- door mat near the front door and near the garage door. the fires were set at 8:00 last night. the homeowner called 911 after smelling smoke but he was able to quickly knock down the fires on his home. the home has only minor damage. the home was made popular in the mrs. doubtfire movie that came out in 1993. after williams died earlier this year, fans came to leave flowers and notes on the steps of the home to pay tribute to him and the home remains a tourist attraction. perhaps fittingly, the man who owns the mrs. doubtfire house is a renowned plastic surgeon here in san

you down. this is the bay bridge toll plaza. we start there because i will show you it's busier than it was yesterday. especially on the 880 ramp from northbound 880 down to the toll plaza. it's backed up from about the maze and the traffic is moving slowly here at the toll plaza. this is about a 30, 40-minute delay before you make it onto the bridge. i want to mention westbound 80 at appian way in pinole, there is an overturned vehicle in one of the right lanes. a couple of vehicles involved in this incident. traffic is slow before and after that. we're also looking as we go down to the south bay, i want to show you that 85, 280 and 101 are slow. 280 is still the best freeway, but if we take a live look at 280 throughdown town, you will see it's moving well. but just around the corner, there is slow traffic approaching highway 17. check with public transit, b.a.r.t. and caltrain not reporting any significant delays according to the answers. back to the desk. >> thank you, sal. we continue to follow developing news out of martinez. four people now in custody after an early-morning car chase near sacramento ended with a crash and manhunt about two miles south of the benicia bridge. brian flores is live inside the police perimeter and brian, we understand you have some more information about that chase? >> reporter: we do, tori. good morning to you. we're right in the middle of the perimeter set up by contra costa county sheriff's office and the chp and pacheco and arthur road in martinez. it remains an active scene. several officers remain. it remains unclear, though, if they are looking for other suspects involved in the car chase and possible robbery. when we first arrived on scene, we were told to move because of a homeowner nearby that sawen is trying to break into a home. before we went on air, around 6:15, several officers were around an industrial building. you see one person being detained. that person remains there this morning. i did speak with chp who said they are working to identify him. he's connected to the high- speed chase that started in the sacramento earlier this morning. as we go to video now from earlier, this is a car that crashed into a fence, according to the chp, the chase started in the sacramento area with the chp from solano county first giving chase to the suspect car. we understand that speeds got close to 100 miles miles an hour. the car crashed into a fence off arthur road. people inside fled. three people were caught. officers were looking for one, possibly two more people. k-9 units canvassed the area. they set up the perimeter. they did detain one person. chp officers i with moments ago believe this last suspect may be connected but they continue to canvass the area and interview at least that person detained. back out here live, the other information we're learning is the car is registered to the state of colorado. that was through a chp source. we're continuing to work on the details on what exactly happened. we understand that the pio for this scene expected to be here at around 7:30 this morning. we will give you updates here on "mornings on 2." back to you. >> thank you, brian. 7:05. southwest airlines working hard to complete safety inspections require wood i faa. the lack of those inspection, it's forcing southwest to cancel flights nationwide. ktvu fox 2's tara moriarty is at oakland international airport now. some southwest passengers there have been scrambling trying to find some other travel plans. tara? >> reporter: definitely. the first wave of passengers hit at about 5:00 this morning. a lot of those folks had to be rerouted on other flights. that means layovers and getting to those destination cities way later than planned. we know at last check, there were ten flights canceled. one of them arriving, ten of them departing. nine of them departing. southwest was forced to ground 128 planes yesterday. that's about a fifth of its fleet. this is after it discovered the missed inspections. the in shuns involve hydraulic systems used to control the rudder if the main system fails. passengers can't believe southwest would overlook something so important. >> that's scary. that part, i -- i think that was really stupid on their part. i mean, they should have definitely been on that. that's something that, you know -- i'm in maintenance and i know that we have to do prechecks and stuff. why did they let it go that long? i don't know. it's crazy. >> reporter: southwest says when it discovered the lapse, it took the planes immediately out of service and began to check them. in back in 2009 they were fined for failing to inspect planes for cracks in the fuselage and then in 2011, they ordered extensive inspections on some of the older 737s after a five- foot hole burst open in one plane in mid-flight forcing an emergency landing in arizona. the first wave of passengers came in around 5:00 a.m. the second one will come in around 9:00. we'll let you know how people are being affected. back to you. >> thank you. 7:07. new this morning, a marin county search and rescue team is joining the search for a missing baby boy northwest of sacramento. his mother was missing, too, but she's been found. they were both reported missing monday in woodland. the baby is just 20 days old named justice reese. police say the baby's 23-year- old mother, samantha green, was found in yolo county. authorities say she was hysterical and very disoriented. no details on how she became separated from her baby. new this morning, there was another big earthquake in japan. the usgs says a 5.9 quake rocked an area off the southern coast of japan. while it didn't trigger tsunami warnings, this follows a magnitude 5.8 quake yesterday and a 6.9 quake off the northern japanese coast earlier this month. no word yet on whether this newest earthquake caused any injuries. a deadly crash at a caltrain crossing in menlo park is prompting calls for new safety measures along those tracks. a 35-year-old-year-old would from east palo alto -- woman from east pat was killed -- east palo alto was killed. the people in the area say the intersection often gets backed up. it can get real confusing. caltrain says the solution may be what's called grade separation. that's where the traffic crosses above or below the train tracks. >> any time a pedestrian or vehicle has to cross the tracks, there is a safety concern. so it would be a significant improvement. >> menlo park is already working with caltrain to lower the road under the tracks at the ravenswood crossing. the design phase could take at least a couple of years. it maying five years before -- may be five years before construction is complete. burlingame and palo alto are considering similar measures. investigators say a truck driver deliberately abandoned his truck yesterday on train trucks in ventura county, causing a metro link train to derail and crash. at least 28 people were injured and hospitalized, including four people listed in critical condition. federal investigators say the truck was not stuck on the tracks although the truck driver's wife claims the truck stalled out. the 54-year-old driver from arizona was found by police about a mile away from the crash scene. >> his name is jose alejandro sanchez ramirez. he was a truck driver for a company and he was driving the vehicle in question. he was taken into custody for a felony hit-and-run violation. >> investigators say the train engineer saw the truck and hit the brakes but there was not enough time to stop. the impact caused three of the train's five cars to derail. still, metro link officials say safety improvements probably reduced the number of injuries in yesterday's crash. back in 2008, a deadly head-on crash between a metro link train and a freight train in chats worth, led to the purchase of new rail cars that absorb the impact of an accident. it's pretty amazing no one was killed. >> all right, tori. we're talking about an attack. this was caught on camera. coming up in 20 minutes, alex savidge will tell us what led up to a fight between a cabdriver and one of its passengers and why the police want your help. >> reporter: a bay area man is suing a popular pet food manufacturer with claims that it sickened and killed his dogs. we'll tell you which pet foodmaker we're talking about and what dog owners are saying about all of this. good morning. we're looking at a commute where traffic is gonna be busy if you are driving on the san mateo bridge and also on the bay bridge. we'll tell you more about both of those commutes. just stepped outside, it's -- yes, i did, dave. it's chilly. not as cold as yesterday. we have low clouds around. that will make an impact on the temps and where is the rain? where is the rain? it's on the extended. two people remain in critical condition and more than a dozen others are hurt after a house exploded in new jersey. the explosion was caught on a police dash-cam. police, firefighters and utility workers were trying to evacuate the area and fine the leak when the explosion occurred. >> so quickly, that the -- the explosion, we had debris all around us. it come from nowhere. >> very lucky, you know, it could have traveled up more. >> the 15 people who were hurt are new jersey natural gas workers, firefighters and emts. police say there's nothing left of the house that exploded and they are still assessing how many surrounding homes were damaged in the blast. >> that's amazing. 7:15. a major dog foodmaker is getting sud accused of making dog food that can be deadly the a bay area pelt owner filed the lawsuit claiming purina dog food killed one of his dogs. janine de la vega joins us live now. you are at a sunnyvale dog park and i know you are talking to it pet owners, janine. >> reporter: one of the dog owners that we did speak to says he doesn't feed his dogs the purina brand beneful. they choose another dog food. but hearing about this lawsuit surprised him push a man from discovery bay is a plaintiff in a lawsuit filed in northern california. he says his bulldog was found dead in his yard after eating beneful dry dogs food. he claims the other two dogs became ill at the same time. the lawsuit state eight kinds of beneful dog food has caused internal bleeding. it contains, he says, antifrez component and toxins. attorneys say there's been complaints that dogs have gotten sick or died after eating beneful. >> clearly there is enough evidence that it need to be investigated about what's going on there. we've seen -- i don't know where they make their foods and i don't know what ingredients they put in the foods but somebody need to take a look. >> reporter: purina is fighting back saying this lawsuit is baseless and the company intends to vigorously defend itself and its brand. a spokesman said there are no quality issues with beneful and millions of dogs eat it. the company wants to reassure customers. they say these pet owners continue to feed their dogs beneful with total confidence. it's still on their shelves at pet stores and there has been no recall. there have been two previous lawsuits that have been filed in the past with similar claims and purina pointed out that both of those have been dismissed in court. dave? >> very interesting. thank you. 7:17. want to check in with sal see what's happening on the roads. things still fairly busy out there? >> yes, they are. we do have slow traffic all over the place. we're gonna start off with a look at the commute in the east bay. you can see traffic on 80 westbound still affected by an overturned vehicle west 80 at appian way. got word that crash may have been caused by someone cutting him off, according to a driver. the car is overturned on the side of the road. not blocking lanes but slowing down the area. this is westbound highway 4. we had an earlier accident at san marco. traffic slow from pittsburg and then 680 slow from concord to walnut creek. 580 is not too bad from livermore to pleasanton. but slowing out of pleasonton as you head south on 680 toward fremont. let's go to the south bay and take a live look at -- we're starting at the toll plaza first. westbound bay bridge, that's backed up to the macarthur maze. now i can say, we are going to san jose. unfortunately, doesn't look that good on 280, 101 and on 85. it's all very slow trying to get into cupertino, sunnyvale and mountain view. 7:18. let's go to steve in the weather center. we do have a little change today. some fog, very foggy. a couple of reports coming in from petaluma, diane said i can't see ten feet. there is a little bit of a low cloud deck. low, low clouds. a few upper low clouds or overcast. mostly sunny skies. a few high clouds. that fog has ramped up in the last hour. low clouds, mild to warm. it will be cooler for most. low overcast on the move tomorrow. we cloud it up on friday afternoon. maybe sooner than that. a cold, light rain moves in for us friday into saturday. but for the sierra, it looks like a bigger deal there. we could sure use the rain. the month started off great. we had two whopper systems. one on friday and then another one late in the weekend. since then, the door has been slammed out. it will open a little bit friday into saturday. for us, maybe some thunderstorms out to the valley. again, though, above 6,000 feet, could get 6 to 10 inches over the weekend. about time. oakland starting ofl 50. 66 today after yesterday's 70. it will be mostly sunny. low cloud tough to see. but they are there. can't make a move north except some inland fog. a little bit around petaluma you can see there and also some off the san mateo/santa cruz coast. the system to the south looked like it wanted to paint some high cloud. that fell apart because of a northwest breeze. that's the system coming in for late friday and saturday. not as cold but still cold. santa rosa and napa, 34 and 35. fairfield was 39. now they are 40 but mainly 50s or 40s. i mean, it was much, much colder. san jose, there have been a couple of reports of upper 30s around san jose. menlo park, palo alto, 38. woodside, 35. they were 31 at this time yesterday. la honda was 31. today they are 42. foster city at 44. statewide, still cold to the north. sacramento up to redding. truckee up about 7 from yesterday. and 54 book ends los angeles and san diego. the key is not the cold temps. it's 24 whopper of a system, dallas down to houston and it's starting to move. there will be a lot of snow. ice, freezing rain, rain. this will move into the deep south. the ohio valley into the carolinas and then points north. that's a big system. and also denver with a separate system. the record snow in denver for february is 22 inches in 1912. they are 17 now. they are looking for 3 to 8. they could set a record for february ever in denver. that is enough to give us an increase in the low cloud deck. tomorrow we'll look to the north for increasing cloud. that system will give us light rain. a colder system. mild to warm inland. but cooler coast and bay. 60s to near 70. a lot of 30s up in lake county. about 34 to 36. but we'll go 70 for a high. novato, 68. vallejo at 68 degrees. low 70s. pittsburg, antioch, alameda, brently. , san jose, 67. same for santa cruz. upper 60s for most. low 60s on the coast because of that low cloud deck. 66 at menlo park. more fog thursday. cloud it up on friday. it looks like a cold system moves on over the weekend and we'll carry it into sunday. a man in massachusetts has found a way to make money of all. snow several feet of it filling up his yard. he is telling it and mailing it out. now, kyle waring launched shipsnowyo.com. he's

a powerful voice in bay area journalism. dorie maynard. i knew dorie. the maynard institute confirmed dorie passed away at her home in oakland yesterday at the age of 56. the cause of her death has not been announced. dorie maynard was the daughter of former oakland tribune owner robert maynard. he was a trail blazer himself. she's remembered as a fearless journalist in her own right. she was the president of the maynard institute, which worked hard to bring diversity into the coverage of news. well, it was intended to be an an assembly to -- to be an assembly to coincide with african-american history month. but this morning, school officials in benicia are apologizing for what they say was a poorly conducted lesson about race. now, the only african-american teacher held a specs assembly on monday about the civil rights movement. but the teacher only invited african-american students. she said she wanted to talk about issues like the use of the n word and she thought students might open up if they were only among other african- american students. well, the school superintendent says while the teacher meant well, she didn't do the right thing. >> this is not an issue that just impacts african-american students. it impacts our entire school population. >> 9% of the students at benicia middle school are african-american. the school superintendent says any future sessions will include the entire student body. it is 7:26. it's been more than ten years since the oakland police department was given a long list of court-mandated recall woulds.

is. >> this very second. >> i had to hit play on the computer. but thank you for stretching that for me. appreciate that. we have some low clouds fog, even some fog. combination. some of it is on the deck. petaluma the leader of the pack. a couple of reports coming in, i can't see anything. this will lift. it's a sign of a cooler pattern for coast and bay. upper 60s to 70 inland. oakland was 70 yesterday. we'll go 66 today. partly to mostly cloudy and turning sunny later on. can you see the fog? a little bit. it's tough to pick up in the north bay. it's there. a few high clouds as well. higher cloud to the south. not a factor. low clouds will be today and tomorrow but then the system dropping down from the north will be here and that looks good for the sierra for snow. 30s for a few. 40, 50s for others. the lows are up there. there's still a couple of 30s. saratoga in there, morgan hill and gilroy. a lot more 40s. if you are traveling, there will be multiple areas of delays. one from texas to the deep south and carolinas. there is another system coming down out of the northern plains. the combination will cause all sorts of fit, we'll get a change in the pattern. but not until friday saturday. we'll see if that brings us any rain. low clouds, cool, mostly sunny. mild to warm inland. but cooler coast and bay with 60s there. low to mid and upper 60s, low 70s inland. i know we have slowdowns, sal. anything new to talk about. we have police activity on brewster avenue. this area is a good area to avoid if you are going to redwood city. let's start with the south bay. northbound 208 is slow as you get up to highway 17 so is northbound 85 and northbound 101. i can show you this on the maps. you can see 85 looks like it's the busiest freeway from the almaden valley all the way up into cupertino. it's kind of typical, 101 and 85 are slow if you drive this every day. you are going to notice it's the same. 880 at 92. we had an earlier accident in hayward. 880 southbound looks typical. 238 down into fremont. we also have an accident on highway 4 westbound near bailey road. one of the crash vehicles someone got out, they took a part. someone locked their keys inside the car. so you officially qualify for having a bad morning when you get into a wreck and then you lock your keys inside the car. it will be there for a bit. let's go to the bay bridge toll plaza as you see traffic back up before the macarthur maze. 35, 40-minute delay before you make it on the bridge. back to the desk. police in daly city now using some new surveillance video to help them track down a man who is accused of vicious you will beating a cabdriver -- viciously beating a cab driver. alex savidge has more on the police search. i know you've shown this video to other cabdrivers. what are they saying? >> reporter: they is certainly disturbed by what they saw. this is something they always worry about while on the job. it's a particularly dangerous job. police are putting out this surveillance video from the cab's on-board camera system that shows an attack on a driver earlier this month. it happened the day after valentine's. the driver pick up this well- dressed passenger in the shirt and tie in downtown san francisco and dropped him off in daly city close to the cal palace. that's when the passenger refused to pay his fare but when the driver got out to confront him, the man started punching and kicking the 60- driver leeching him on the ground and -- leaving him on the ground and taking off. we did show this video to cabdrivers in the city. they were troubled by what they saw. but they say it's not unusual. >> it happen a lot. sometime crazy guy get in my car and try to attack me. they don't want to pay me. >> reporter: that surveillance video also shows several people either walking by or driving by while the attack is going on. according to daly city police, none of those people stopped to help out here. the driver who was beaten had to be hospitalized for a variety of injuries but he's expected to be okay. the passenger wanted for this assault is described by police as hispanic between about 25 and 35 years old and obviously, you can see the surveillance system on board the cab. you can see a shot there. that means someone could recognize him. if you do, call daly city police. >> maybe after people see it on tv, they may be able to get more information. >> reporter: hopefully so. >> thank you. 7:35. a woman riding her bike was killed in a collision with a truck in east oakland. this happened yesterday afternoon at san leandro and prune streets near 98th avenue. police say the woman was in the intersection when she was hit. she was pronounced dead right there at the scene. authorities haven't told us her name yet but they say she was in her 30s or 40s. the driver of that truck is cooperating with the investigation. 7:36. the oakland police department has been sued for corruption and brutality, has defended itself against a lack of community trust, and was faced with court-ordered reforms. this all started more than a decade ago. ktvu fox 2's pam cook joins us in the studio with an update on how the force has changed. good morning. >> good morning. it's been 12 years since a federal monitor was put in place to oversee reforms at the oakland police department. the chief is calling it a success story. back in 2003 oak agreed to implement 51 reforms after the police corruption scandal involving officers known as the ryder. they have complied with 48, including uniform mounted camera us. the department says that video more often than not clears officers accused of wrongdoing. the chief also says it's about constitutional policing. >> in the end of this, what the city gets is -- is a police department that treats its citizens fairly with respect, behaves in a constitutional manner but is also effective at reducing crime. >> that seems to be working. fbi crime statistics show overall crime is down in oakland until attorneys say so are complaints of officer misconduct. in the next hour, we'll hear from the mayor of oakland about what she and the police chief are doing to continue to increase the public's trust in the oakland police department. tori? >> thank you, pam. the homeland security department will run out of money if congress does not pass a funding bill by

bit, probably slowed it down. if this had been earlier in the week, we probably would have been looking at a lot different story. i think it did help. like i said the north wind tend to dry the

the bay area. right now 20,000 pg&e customers are without power in the east bay. 6900 in the north bay and more than 180 customers are in the dark in the peninsula and the south bay. those people have

wind advisory in effect over the north bay mountains especially into the evening hours as well. over the bay right now you can see the flag blowing in the breeze there. the temperatures because of the

the air waves with news of the shooting. >> reporter: good morning, today's going to be a remarkable day in the sense that the city of dallas has not commemorated this anniversary in 50 years, and this is the first year they're choosing to do so. i spoke to one man who not only reported on the assassination, he also spoke to the asass sin. >> it was 1963. >> pierce almond was the program manager at the local radio station in dallas the day john f. kennedy was assassinated. after hearing the gunshots, the reporter then 29 years old delivered this news over the phone. >> we do not and cannot confirm the reports at this time, but the president has been shot. >> you were the first reporter on the air. >> yes. >> the only one really. there was only one phone in the lobby. >> two hours after kennedy was shot police arrested lee harvey oswald. the secret service told almond he had spoken to the asass sin after the shooting. >> i ran up, went through the door was standing in the door and i asked him where a phone was. he said in there. >> you spoke to oswald after the shooting. >> according to the secret service i did. >> when you spoke to him was he flustered? >> no, he was calm. didn't seem agitated. really didn't seem to be in a hurry. >> to this day almond has flashbacks of that chance encounter and what he could have done differently. >> i sort of wish that somehow i had recognized him, at least enough to say you're the guy in the window. >> almond says he still relives that day and says 50 years later it still feels like yesterday. >> despite his big role that day, frank and michelle, one of the interesting things he told me is he's never understood why people have have been interested in his story. he just felt like he was there and watching everything take place. he intends to be a part of the program today. he will be here. there are 5,000 tickets for the free program. he says he wouldn't have missed it for the world. reporting live in dallas, vinita nair back to you. >> i understand a new monument is being unveiled today. any word what that may look like. >> yes, that's right and a monument is going to be unveiled during the program. there will be speeches and prayers. we're told on the bottom of the monument there'll be an inscription and a final paragraph from the speech kennedy never had a chance to deliver here in dallas. so as you can imagine just seeing that there's probably going to be a lot of emotions here in daily plaza. >> are there a lot of tourists there? >> yesterday we were sort of milling around the area. the estimates said there was something close to a thousand tourists. i spoke to one family from british columbia who told med for 40 years they've been fascinated by this assassination. they realize the city was

b.a.r.t. spokesperson just a few seconding a who says it could be even longer than 6:00. what they thought would be the time when they would reopen these trains. it could be longer and riders we spoke with this morning say they thought they were done with b.a.r.t. problems is unfortunately this technical will roll back thousands of commuters for quite some time. commuters at the west oakland b.a.r.t. station hung out in the lobby. overnight a computer glitch delayed train service with passengers still on board. b.a.r.t. says its computer systems in central control are not communicating with its track switches so overnight operators had to manually crash e.g. crank crank the switches to route the trains and get those remaining passengers back home. now the problem is the morning commute and b.a.r.t. says these problems are not wind related and they are working to figure out why this happened. until then commuters will have to find another way to get to work, and the only solace one commuter told me is thank goodness it's friday. reporting live in oakland, cate caugurian. >> tgif, that's right. hopefully folks can work from home. b.a.r.t. service shut down until further notice. backing off that 6 a.m. start time. that was just a goal. they were just crossing their fingers they could fix a major computer glitch. we have not heard that anything else is stepping up service in light of this including ac transit. they're reporting normal ac transit service. at least there's no delay. similar with ferry, ace, your best bet is to hit the roads. over at the bay

were evacuated. this was a mandatory evacuation order. one outbuilding has been destroyed. several homes still threatened this morning. the main challenge for firefighters, these dry northerly winds. >> with these northerly winds and that trace amount of rain we did get, it just wasn't enough to do any good for us. it probably did slow things down just a little bit, but these north winds with the humidity being so low, they really dried the vegetation out quickly. >> here are the areas under evacuation orders. silverado trail, low ma vista drive, shady oaks road and ridge drive. we'll have a better idea of where this stands. one firefighter was injured so far. he was actually hit in the head with a wine barrel that came loose in the wind. he was taken to the hospital, but he is expected to be okay. i'm anne makovec live in napa county. let's check in with lawrence karnow right now with more on the winds. >> i think we're seeing the peak of the winds now and it looks like some of
