The third hour of today in the bay continues right now. Good friday morning to you. Im kris sanchez here for Marcus Washington. Boy, wasnt it nice to see his smile . Oh, yes. Were going to have him a little later in this hour as well. Im laura garcia. Before we get to weather right now i want to tell you about a small earthquake that hit the north bay this morning. A 3. 3 magnitude quake hit about 5 00 a. M. It was about 13 miles north of healdsburg. No reports of injuries or damage so far. But what a way to wake up at least for those folks. And yesterday we were waking up to pounding rain across the bay area. Kari has a look at our forecast right now. That rain is getting lighter. This storm system is moving out but it was impressive. Now as we take a look at storm ranger, we are catching a break for much of the bay area. Still some lingering showers down around gilroy as well as around the napa area over toward Solano County. Weve seen some of the showers that are now starting to move off toward the south and east. But as it does so, were still left with the cloudy skies today and a chance for all of that rain to soak in. But there will still be some showers in the forecast for tomorrow as well as sunday for the north bay while the rest of the bay area catches a break. By monday, there is more rain in the forecast so just get ready. Well talk more about that in the forecast coming up. Whats going on right now for the commute . Kari, i just spotted this stretch of highway 87 right behind me. Lets show you the map full screen and it is the red strip traveling north. Things are bogged down heading into downtown san jose. Now, there is a crash and maybe with crews in the middle lane right now, no major injuries but that is a major problem getting into downtown on 87 from slowing and we have the rest of the bay with just damp roadways. That is better news right now but you have big stuff overnight. Thats right. Breaking news overnight. A pg e truck caught in a landslide south of the bay area. We have new video to show you this morning from the scene. The truck slid about 150 feet down a hill. It happened overnight in aptos when a road was washed away. The road between Valencia School road and Valencia Road is completely washed out. Pg e says a worker was inside the truck when it happened but luckily was not hurt. In the meantime, weather related evacuations have been lifted in the Santa Cruz Mountains. Some home owners in Boulder Creek say theyve been dealing with minor flooding from the runoff. But theyre breathing a lot easier amid so much concern about mud slides in that wildfire burn scar area. Lets take a peek outside this morning to San Francisco. Restaurants across the city and across the bay finally resuming Outdoor Dining after the storm. Today in the bays Cierra Johnson live in San Francisco. A lot of challenges for Business Owners especially with this weather weve been having. Reporter yes, good morning. A lot of challenges and also a lot of Business Owners waking up a little relieved this morning after having served their first guests after not having any Outdoor Dining guests for a number of weeks. As you mentioned they did have to contend with that element of mother nature. We captured some of the diners bundled up with the heat lamps turned up as they enjoyed eating outside in San Francisco. Many Restaurant Owners we spoke with say they needed the Outdoor Dining options to make up for a lot of the lost revenue. Some decided to even take a little extra time to get things just right before reopening. I was taking advantage to do a little painting and clean up so tomorrow friday i will open with the sunshine. Were hoping the sunshine does appear. Reporter that Business Owner wasnt the only one waiting for a break in the weather to reopen. That mass vaccination site at city college in San Francisco also resuming services today. The site was closed for two days until the storms rolled through the area. More than 250 of those vaccination shots were rescheduled for a later date. And there is some good news in the fight against covid19. It appears cases in some cities are appearing to be falling. The mercury news is reporting that wednesday the states daily average of new cases dropped to about 23,000 per day over the last week. That is a whopping 47 from two weeks ago. So it is still crucial to remain vigilant as were out here. I know there is the Outdoor Dining but still do what you can, wear your mask, and be sure to practice social distancing as some of the restrictions are lifted, guys. Before you go, mayor london breed held her state of the city address yesterday. What was her message . Reporter she actually did it virtually and that is where that second mask vaccination site is going to be. She has been speaking for weeks now wanting to vaccinate all of the san francisans by june 30th and that deadline was going to be hard to achieve if they didnt get more shots in the arms. Now well have a second vaccination site in the city. Details about when it is opening and the specifics of how you go about navigating that have not been released yet. But as soon as we get the details well be sure to bring you the details both on air and online. A new site is coming to the city. Some good news there. No kidding. Well take it where we can get it.

So we get a break now, kari, a little one . Yeah. Were getting a little break. For much of the bay area there is still spotty rain so you may have to turn on the wipers whether the rain is falling from the sky or the cars in front of you are kicking up water. Well have that as the storm system pushes off toward the south and east and were still going to be tracking those rain chances going into the weekend. As we check out san jose, as we await the suns arrival we are getting some breaks in the clouds. Well talk more about what is ahead this weekend coming up. Mike, how is it looking for the commute . Kari, im also going to start with san jose as you ended with the same city. We are looking at northbound 87 on our map. Still slow but a little bit better. Focused slowing as you pass by the crash just shy of alma on the northbound side. Heading into downtown. Still have some activity in the middle lanes.

Reports of a disabled vehicle but the bridge crew clears things up quickly. I think we just have a little slowing. Ill show you the toll plaza coming up. Good morning. Very happy friday to you. There is more fallout from the whole gamestop issue. Robin hood the stock tracking app actually barred its users from buying gamestop shares yesterday. That engaged users who quite understandably wondered how can they do that . And because they couldnt buy gamestop shares that price fell hard. That left some momandpop users in the red. It pleased the hedge funds, which were betting against the stock. And it seemed to many that the menlo park based robin hood was stealing from the poor to pay the rich. Heres the companys ceo on cnbc. Were really in unprecedented times and in order to protect the firm and protect our customers we had to limit buying in these stocks. Reporter of course robin hood users didnt want to be protected. They wanted to buy. Video here of a small protest outside the companys peninsula headquarters. Robin hood, hard for them to reach. Apparently the company has disconnected its support lines as well. Shares are back in the premarket this morning ready to double again. Now, you may not own this stock. You may never have been to a gamestop store. Very few people have lately. If that is the case, here is why you care about this. It is a story of regular people teaming up against a power they feel is being unfair. Some are piling into the stock to make a point. Some are piling in to make a profit. Laura, you asked me yesterday if any of this could be regulated. I said none of it was illegal. To follow up for that for you, ive spoken with a fintech expert. You know, is reddit manipulating the market . Not really. It is a combination of open source discussions around stocks and around investing. And the market itself. Reporter those are the reddit users he is talking about. The short sellers we said they werent breaking any rules, no obvious rules anyway but robin hood the stock tracking and trading app even u. S. Senators are accusing robin hood of breaking the rules. Well probably be seeing that ceo from robin hood in front of congress at some point. Bitcoin is another trendy investment that wall street tends to cast a wary eye at wondering if bitcoin supporters have rational reasons for bidding bitcoin up. It is up 14 in value today after elon musk put the word bitcoin on his twitter bio. He typed bitcoin. One of the worlds greatest and biggers supporters of bitcoin is tim draper. He has a school for entrepreneurs in san mateo he calls draper university. He is threatening to move that school to texas or maybe redwood city after the San Mateo Planning Commission stalled on approving his plans to add an elevator to the Historic Building it is housed in, the old ben franklin hotel. Draper is one of many venture capitalists ive interviewed on our podcast sand hill road. We get into a friendly argument in that episode. Tim is one of those people it is fun to argue with. That one with tim draper is an old episode. Find it in the library. This week i talk about, to a venture capitalist about media. The future of tv, future of radio. We talk about tiktok. I make an admission about tiktok that is personally embarrassing and my children were just like, oh, dad. Oh, no. So im not telling you what it is. You got to down load the podcast, subscribe to the podcast. Yeah. Well watch that one on repeat. Thank you, scott. Yeah, but you dont get the video with a podcast. We want to see what youre doing.

Although i start to nod off about 9 00. Have you heard this story . Subway is facing a new lawsuit this morning claiming its Tuna Sandwich isnt fishy enough. Two Alameda County residents are behind the lawsuit and allege the meat in the sandwich is neither tuna or fish. They claim an independent testing of ingredients confirmed the products are made from anything but tuna.
