Well. Outside 101, 680 corridor. No problems, visibility good and cars moving right along. Back over to you guys. Something moving on the highway yesterday that was not supposed to be there. New details now on an elephant seal who caused a scene on highway 37 in Sonoma County. Bay area drivers are used to dealing with traffic, of course, but nothing like this. The wild encounter had drivers doing tudouble takes and had wildlife experts very concerned. The creature tried to cross the highway and, steph, did you spot the elephant seal this morning . Yes, we did, actually. This morning she was in the waters here off of highway 37 near the sonoma raceway and i understand shes been making loops since basically yesterday afternoon. The concern, of course, is she actually came up on to this marking pot leer and also tried to cross the highway, actually got on to the roadway and tried to get over the divider yesterday. So the concern is safety for her, as well as the drivers, of course. Now, we have video of the elephant seal believed to be female estimated at 400 to 500 pounds and swimming in loops since around 1 00 yesterday afternoon. U. S. Fish and wildlife was able to get her back in the water twice. Hoping to swim away where she was supposed to be and get her boarded. One big message today, though, is dont slow down to try to look for her in the water and if you are out and about here, stay away. Theyre wild. And they will bite. So, best thing to do is stay at least 50, 60 feet away from it and give us a call. Now, more people from the Marine Mammal center should be joining. One volunteer who you saw right there doug haley in about 30 minutes or so for a plan and then take more people to get the elephant seal and guide her into a carrier. That is the hope, anyway, to get her and release her back into the bay. Of course, this is contingent on whether she will actually get into the carrier at some point today. They could be out here all day and there is no guarantee time for when this could all be over. But the other concern is that this is the birthing period for elephant seals and she may be pregnant. They want to, of course, get her safe and sound so they could make sure. Live here in Sonoma County, Stephanie Chuang, today in the bay. At 5 03, putting a plan in motion.

The city and the county is still paying for the expansion of the coliseum, a tab of 22 million per year total. Oakland leaders plan to send a letter to the league hoping to persuade the raiders to stay in oakland. Commissioner Roger Goodell isnt known for easing up on deadlines. With that in mind the Christmas Eve game at 0. Co may have been, in fact, the last game in oakland for the raiders. A harrowing thought for the fans of the silver and black. Move back to los angeles would destroy the greatest comeback in sports history. Chargers dont want to share with the raiders. The raiders need to stay in oakland. San diego needs to stay in san diego. We do not want to share with oakland. There you go.
