Middle of town floods at about 13 feet. Youre looking at video from 2005. When that happened, damaging hundreds of buildings and causing millions of dollars of damage. Now the level is about 2 feet but you can bet that people will be keeping a very close eye on those levels as the series of storms roll in. Lets head to cate caugiran with more storm coverage. Reporter Elissa Harrington, now the rain is actually showed up, seeing a little bit of let up for a little bit but the wind is definitely here for sure. Take a look at those trees and the flag. High strong winds are here at the Richmond San Rafael bridge. The National Weather service says wind will pick up to 45 to gust of 65 miles an hour. The combination of wind and rain is dangerous especially with the cars on the road and officers say its best to drive slowly like youre in fog and ice. Trucks and highprofile vehicles should be careful on the bridges. The roads change with these conditions. We are expecting a large amount of water in a short period of time. That brings slippery roads. That means more accidents. Reporter along with traffic problems, accidents, high winds are also expected to bring mass Power Outages and thats because of downed trees and branches. So pg e crews were busy yesterday cutting down trees and clearing excess debris. Again, this wind isnt going away anytime soon. You can still see it is picking up here in this area and we are told that these high Wind Warnings are going to last until 11 00 today so again, be careful on those road as you drive to work this morning. Live at the Richmond San Rafael bridge, cate caugiran, cbs 5. Thank you. We were talking to lawrence off camera. He has Christmas Lights up but wondering whether they will be there this morning.

The strongest winds along the coast where a high wind warning is effect, wind gusts to 65 Miles Per Hour. But look at the hidef. You can get a good idea where the cold front is lingering making its way into parts of the north bay, but lingering down here. Off the coast we have seen lightning strikes beginning to show up. The heaviest rain so far located in the north bay will continue to intensify throughout the morning commute. So it is going to be a very wet and a very windy commute around the bay area. Then toward the afternoon things begin to settle down. This storm system rolling onshore right now going to pack a punch this morning and then on the back side of it. Once we get on the back side we may begin to clear things out a little toward the afternoon. But a series of storms lining up one here one on the back side here and then another one yet to develop thats still going to move in out of the gulf of alaska that third one could be the one that causes some flooding issues. Lets look at our futurecast model and show you the cold front moving through this morning. About 9 00 or so the main cold front right across the entire bay area. Then as we head in to the middle of the day the system moves out and we get a few sunny breaks and things settle down. There is plenty more Stormy Weather on the way. If you want to go to our website, check out our hidef doppler, go to cbssf. Com weather, check out the highdef Doppler Radar in your neighborhood and it is going to be all lit up with all kinds of fascinating colors today, elizabeth. I know. Its ominous seeing that big swash of green there on that hi def doppler. On the Traffic Cameras, looking at the cars to see if we saw any windshield wipers. So far its not the case. We can see the roads are though a little slick as you head towards the pay gates and its getting busy anyway so its just your usual commute so far at the bay bridge. Chp has not issued wind advisories so far and theres also no metering lights yet. This is why you see it moving okay in the middle lanes the fastrak lanes. The cash lanes are starting to stack up towards the end of the parking lot and even towards the end of that overcrossing. Golden gate bridge, slick across the bridge this morning. I just saw golden gate ferry tweeted there will be Ferry Service this morning everything is on time same thing for golden gate transit bus. So mass transit would be a great option as the storm moves through. Thank you. Daly city crews are working to shore up a hillside that collapse today with weeks aboth.

The last cal chancellor was paid 436,000 a year. Uc regents voted yesterday to add 50,000 to Nicholas Dirks position putting his salary at 486,000. The 11 raise became part of a student protest last night. Several protestors chained their necks to doors on the 6th floor of cals eschelman hall. The demonstration was to call attention to cals low enrollment of students of color but the pay raise was also an issue. But now you see, theres no money. We have to raise your fees again by 24 over the next four years, which means 6 per year. But at the same time we have enough money to give a fee a raise of salary to a chancellor. The regents who voted for the raise point out that the extra money is coming from private donations, not from student fees. And we have been asking all morning, what do you think about the chancellors pay raise . Comment on facebook or twitter, or email us at mornings cbs5. Com. Still no deal on capitol hill to avoid that fiscal cliff at the end of the year. Some republicans have said they are willing to consider some tax increase but they are insisting on larger budget cuts to benefit programs which of course the democrats oppose. If all sides cant agree on a spending plan before years end the automatic tax hikes and acrosstheboard budget cuts kick in. We must do everything we can to ensure that middle class families are not hit with 2,200 a year in tax increases. I hope cooler heads will prevail as we move through the process.

A passenger at Hartsfield JacksonAtlanta International airport says he caught a blatant Security Breach on a cell phone camera. He recorded a woman at the waiting lot tossing a bag over a fence to an airport worker. The bag gets stuck and the worker climbs up to get it. This happened feet from the runway. Its probably his lunch. They are investigating. Still you know not to do that at an airport. Not a good idea. No. Bad wet weather typically adds up to some travel headaches. Yeah. Sure does. As frequent flyers know San FranciscoInternational Airport is notorious for falling behind schedule with all the fog and such. But when the skies are clear, airplanes at sfo often land 2 at a time on parallel runways but when visibility is poor they can only land one plane at a time and others go into holding pattern. Sfo says that changes next summer. It will allow aircraft not side by side but staggered from one another to come in using both runways. With this change well be able to arrive 35 to 37 per hour making an improvement. A number of delayed flights at sfo has gone up 10 in the last decade also the number of canceled flights has doubled and apparently todays not a good day to fly either. We are talking more than threehour delays. So if youre hiding to the airport today, please call ahead. Were talking about delays at the airport. But there may be some delays on the road, as well. Liz, a tough day for commuters. Mother nature did not time this out very well. Its right here in the heart of the morning commute. Were already starting to see a few raindrops in some of our Traffic Cameras and we have a couple of different spinouts. Sounds like the heaviest rain is over the north bay so northbound 101 approaching railroad avenue come into cotati one lane blocked. East bay car fire eastbound lanes of 580 against the commute causing slowly through the altamont pass. Car fire partially blocking one lane may have sparked a small grassfire in the area as well approaching grant line road so we are seeing brake lights. The winds are picking up. You can see that in some of our Traffic Cameras as well as. This is one heading into San Francisco. Gusty winds, slick roads, be extra careful. We have been getting treats from golden gate ferry and bus service. All mass transit is on time a great option to avoid the road and the storm headed our way. Heres a live look through milpitas westbound 237. Noise and clear so far this morning. Actually no delays all across that stretch. And lets get a look at the bay bridge now. You can see a few raindrops falling outside and its starting to stack up as well in all lanes so they turned on the metering lights just minutes after 6 00. So now we are stacking up to the 880 overcrossing. With more on the latest with hi def doppler and the rain and the storm moving this way, lets go to lawrence. An impressive storm system now making its way onshore. Gusts now over 30 Miles Per Hour. Some parts of the bay area as mentioned before we have over 3 hour almost 4hour delays at sfo. Heres the latest on highdef Doppler Radar. Look at the rainfall moving in. North bay reporting heavy amounts of rainfall in toward the santa rosa area. The showers likely to continue to move on this morning. And then taper off quickly. Its interesting on the back side of the storm system we are seeing lightning strikes out there right now so thats Something Else embedded in this cold front that moves onshore so its going to hit us quick this morning and then things begin to taper off but its going to be a wild morning. We have very strong gusty winds coming onshore. Showers by the afternoon. Maybe even a couple of sunny breaks but the door will be open to a series of storms toward the bay area. So here it is. You have your first storm system making its way onshore and then maybe a brief break and the second one comes off and one yet to develop moves in on sunday. Thats the one im worried about the possibility of flooding with that one. So the storm door is open. Today is going to be very wet and wild early on. Computer models picking up on that this morning. The main cold front moving through in the morning hours. And then by the afternoon, it starts to taper off really just maybe some scattered showers for the better part of thursday. Then thursday evening the next storm system moves in slowly working its way through the bay area. Thats going to be a bigtime soak near friday. And then it looks like well catch a brief break before more rain is on the way. With this fastmoving storm system this morning maybe a half inch just over that toward the santa cruz mountains. Temperatures going to be in the 60s and then the next couple of days, be ready folks its going to be off and on again rain some very heavy rainfall through sunday. Then it looks like by monday and tuesday maybe we finally catch a break by then. Back to you. All right. Lawrence, thank you.
