KNTV Today In The Bay February 8, 2018

Degrees. Its just going to be brutal over the next several days. Thats what well be watching. Keep in mind all of the spectators will be in an open air stadium there over the next several days. Here is a look at our highs today in comparison, up to 76 degrees. 70 in San Francisco. More on that coming up. Mike, youre tracking something on the peninsula. Its not a big deal what the report seems to show. Highway 92 over at skyline where it meets with highway 35 and heading over to the Half Moon Bay direction westbound. Thats where theres some debris reported in lanes there, so that may be an issue leaving 280 and heading to the coast. Were going to note that well update you if chp has to close or clear anything. In oakland they still cleared most of the activity at 23rd but the crash may be a distraction on the right shoulder. Dont see a lot of slowing there. We have a little bit at the bay bridge. Pretty traditional about now. They should open the cash lanes and then build again over the next 20. Right back to you, laura. This is hard to believe but its been a month, this month, in fact, marks one year since historic flooding hit san jose. Remember when this happened . More than 150 victims will file a lawsuit against the city and Santa Clara County Water District. Today in the bays kris sanchez joins us live with more on this lawsuit and what the city is now trying to do to prevent this from happening again. Reporter youll remember when we were here last february the water was up to this point and they are not back to normal. Nowhere near it. Those were the red tagged buildings where firefighters were rescuing people by boat. It was a shocking sight when firefighters had to rescue those folks by boat. Some say they didnt know they were in danger until the water was up to their doorstep. We asked the same question a lot of those folks did which is why werent they ordered out sooner . Why didnt they know they were in danger . The lawyer for those 150 families planned to file that civil complaint against the city of san jose, Santa Clara County and the Water District. That complaint alleges negligence and breach of duty among other things. The mayor conceded almost immediately there was a failure in the system. He outlined some of the changes that have happened in the year since. Now they include an improved Warning System that includes a system to send text notifications to anyone in the area without signup. If youre just visiting the area, you will get a text message. Expanded training for people who live in the flood prone area so they are not caught off guard again. Also enhanced communication with the Water District clarifying who is responsible for what. There was a lot of finger pointing on that day last year. The Water District made flood improvements including raising the levee height in Anderson Reservoir which was part of the problem. And there has been an ongoing clearing of coyote creek to improve water flow. It is unclear whether or not all of this addresses what those residents want to hear but we are going to hear from them. Theyre going to speak publicly. Nbc bay area will be there. In san jose, kris sanchez, today in the bay. 5 04 right now. All new overnight Vice President mike pence arrived in south korea. He spent the Early Morning hours meeting with dignitaries. Meantime, the first competition of the 2018 Olympic Games already started. Were hearing from one bay area man about his fight with olympic officials. Today in the bays Garvin Thomas is live. He has to take the bible story off his helmet here. Reporter thats right, marcus. One bible story in particular the story of sampson who destroyed the philippine temple when no one thought he had the strength to do it, about doing the impossible and its what inspired a. J. Edelman so much. He put sampson on his skeleton helmet. A. J. Had what he called an early midlife crisis, quit his job at oracle and began a quest to represent israel even though they didnt have a team and he had never done it. Years of practice, pain and sacrifice later he qualified for the 2018 games all the while sliding with sampson painted on his helmet. But after arriving here in pyeongchang, he got a message from the ioc. Sampsons too biblical so the ioc has rules and regulations on whats allowed on your equipment and those rules and regulations dont apply in normal competition. All my equipment have been sampson. Rule 50 prohibits religious imagery. Sampson is a biblical character. I understand the decision and respect it. I will remove the imagery that makes sampson sampson. Reporter so as you can see edelman is disappointed but its not something that will keep him from competing. He says he doesnt have a chance at a medal but representing his country is dream enough for him. We have more coming up this morning with more on the Vice President. The Vice President has arrived here. He is bringing controversy with him. Well get into it on what he is saying and what an openly guy figure skater saying. Well have that story coming up for you later. Okay. So 5 00 a. M. Here. 10 00 p. M. There. Were going to get it all adjusted and worked out. Thanks so much, garvin.

To washington where the clock is ticking. Theres a deadline of midnight tonight for lawmakers to get a deal done on a new budget deal. If that doesnt happen, the government will shut down for the second time in two months. There are hopes this morning that an agreement can be reached. Lawmakers are working on a bipartisan deal that would increase military and domestic funding, wildfire victims, but not all democrats are onboard with this one including House Minority leader nancy pelosi. Critics say the deal leaves out immigration reform. We will remember who was for us and who was against us. It doesnt have everything democrats or republicans want but it has a great deal of what the American People want. Now the senate is expected to vote today. If it passes it would move to the house and hopefully be passed before midnight, the deadline. It is 5 08. Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau visits San Francisco. Hes on a fourday tour. This video is his visit to chicago yesterday. He lands at sfo this morning. Today hell meet with jeff bezos and benoff. Tomorrow morning he meets with governor jerry brown and gavin newsom.

A nice, cool start. Also for your drive through the south bay and that commute its going to be 44 degrees at 7 00 but look at another warm day and windows down letting in some fresh air and temperatures in the 70s today. And, mike, you were checking in on a crash in livermore. Because we had two vehicles that had to be removed, well take you to the trivalley. The south bay and peninsula all green. No problems. West 580 the slowing is gone but one vehicle reportedly in the center divide. It took one of them over off the shoulder. A smooth drive out of the altamont. Slow down to the spring town exit where the crash has some activity. Reports of pipes in the roadway. Your right two lanes as you travel westbound from richmond to golden gate field, thats the direction where we have reports of the two left lanes with possibly some pipes in the roadway. I hope no one hits them before they check it out. Were watching that area as you come down off the bridge and down to the bay bridge.
