Today women across america are proving how much they are needed in the workforce. Many are taking a stand by going on strike. Kpix 5s anne makovec is live in San Francisco on the local and national rallies for this day without a woman. Anne. Reporter they are calling it a National Strike at day without a woman today is coinciding with International Womens day. That is being celebrated across the globe. This is quite a movement as you see on social media this morning. We have some big rallies going on here in the bay area one year at San Francisco city hall that starts at 11 a. M. Theres a gathering between noon and 5 00 at Justin Herman plaza for San Francisco. Also a rally in front of city hall in san jose from noon until 2 00 and at oaklands Frank Ogawa Plaza from 5 to 9 p. M. Organizers are calling on women to take the day off today to call attention to the injustices women still face in this country and worldwide. The strike was planned by womens march on washington organizers. They marched in january coinciding with the inauguration of donald trump. This is intended to highlight womens economic power. Organizers say if paid women were all to take off today, it would cots u. S. Almost 21 billion in gdp gross domestic product. California contributes nearly 2. 8 billion all by itself. And some businesses are closing altogether today. Heres one called pretty please bake shop owned and operated by women. They say they are doing in support of justice for all people. So that is a tall order. If you cant take the day off today organizers want you to wear red in solidarity. And also, avoid shopping unless it is a Small Business owned by a woman or a minority group. Live in San Francisco, anne makevoc, kpix 5. Roqui didnt take the day off today. [ laughter ] she is tracking traffic in the bay area. So lets check in with her. Yeah.

Next time arnold well talk about chances of rain there and warmer weather and the pollen report. Kenny . Roberta, thank you. Dozens of people are still out of their homes in san jose weeks after the serious flooding in the area. Now city leaders are promising to help them. Kpix 5s maria medina is live in san jose this morning with details. Maria. Reporter good morning, kenny. City leaders tell kpix 5 they prann to spend 22 million on improvements along coyote creek so that it doesnt flood again. But, that is not new money. Get this. The santa clara Water District actually sat on that money for the last 15 years. Back in 2000 voters approved 32 million so coyote creek would not flood. And the district spent a third of it on planning and design. But the project engineer realized it would cost a lot more to fix coyote creeks problems. Now, at the same time, the district had another project retrofitting anderson dam. But that was never completed. Then two weeks ago, we saw the dam went over capacity and water overflow over the spillway and into coyote creek during the storm. Why did it take so long for the 22 million to be applied to the cleanup now . Right. So, you know, flood protection projects on this kind of scale always take a significant amount of time to plan and design. Reporter the district says the idea to take advantage of the dam getting fixed, that would make work on coyote creek cheaper. But that could take nearly a decade to complete. About 14,000 were put under a mandatory Evacuation Order during the flood two weeks ago and today fema and state workers plan to tour the affected areas. This is day 2 for them. I also want to mention, about 20 structures still cannot be entered two weeks after the flood. Live in san jose, maria medina, kpix 5. Right now, in marin county, sir Francis Drake boulevard is closed at baywood canyon road due to a mudslide. It has been closed since just after 1 a. M.

Yesterday, crews had to work for hours to clear another mudslide. Now to the new details on a fire that destroyed 16 rooms at a travel inn in vallejo. Fire investigators say they found numerous Code Violations including 15 units without working smoke detectors. That was something residents complained about.

San Francisco Police believe they have two dangerous men off the streets. The men are behind bars in connection with a violent home invasion. Police believe Jeremy Flores and Ivan Gonzalez forced their way into a home in San Franciscos portola district two weeks ago. They say the suspects beat one of the residents while pointing a gun at the other resident. The suspects were arrested on suspicion of attempted murder, burglary and false imprisonment. Right now, Stockton Police are looking for four suspects who robbed a chevron gas station at gunpoint. The Armed Robbery happened back in february. But the Department Just released this video on its facebook page. After taking money from the clerk, the four men dressed in hoodies sold numerous items before driving off. Anyone with information on the robbery is asked to call Stockton Police. 12 people are behind bars after a latenight protest outside stocktons city hall. Call 911.

The community has been demanding that the city Council Start a discussion with the Police Department about releasing body camera videos. We cant tell, you know, chief jones, chief jones, we want you to do this right now. We dont we dont have that authority. But we can be part of the conversation. After the meeting the mayor was escorted out of his parking spot by dozens of police in full riot gear. Those arrested were charged with resisting arrest and blocking traffic by attempting to walk on to the freeway. Time now 6 09. Prices rising at the pump. How much more californians are paying for gas and the county where its the most expensive to fill up.

Ace train 3 will probably be delayed, possibly delayed up to 30 minutes. Major problems with ace train so plan accordingly if you are using that this morning.

Away from the bay. Sounds good. Thank you. Water Officials Say all of the winter rain means californians are using less water. The Water Resources board says last month, the average california resident used about 58 gallons of water per day. Thats the lowest residential use since 2014. The state has had one of the wettest winters in decades but is under a drought emergency. A new study shows california fault line could cause a magnitude 7. 4 earthquake.
