Cristina rendon is live along the embarcadero with the timing it will take to get things back to normal. Reporter you know, actually removed over to the mission district, where work just wrapped up about an hour ago on these residents and businesses. Even though the rain let up today, the work here is far from over. The sun made an appearance 24 hours after the storm, shining down on tourists near city hall and teams of cleanup crews in the mission district. This woman says residents and businesses know the area near 17th and fulsom always floods. Is the water came up one foot on our sand bags. Luckily the city had put out about 500 sandbags on the building, so it came up on them, but it didnt go through. Reporter but across the street, other businesses werent so lucky. The repairs to this block will likely take more than a month. In other parts of the city, a few downed power lines and trees kept crews working. It was a busy day all day for everybody. Reporter strong winds knocked out power this morning in diamond heights. Safeway turned customers away. Everything, we take advantage of all the new gadgets, new electronic things. They run out, we help. Reporter pg e quickly restored power. At this hour, less than 50 people remain without electricity, a major improvement from the thousands of customers left in the dark during the height of the storm. And traffic is back to normal. A few onramps to highway 101 remain closed off due to standing water, but the highway is free of the river that flooded it yesterday. And the project manager for the cleanup crew says they have to go in and take out all of the contaminated water damage. So thats going to take maybe about a month or so. So likely wont be finished until next year. They just hope another storm doesnt come along and set them back. Julie . Thank you, christina. There is a Flood Warning tonight for the Russian River in sonoma county. Several areas surrounding the river are under water, but as ktvus mike mibach reports, residents have seen this all before.

Reporter not as devastating, but almost a decade later after the last major flood, the Russian River has struck again. Mike mibach, ktvu channel 2news. A 90foot uk live tuesday tree crashed into a senior care home in union city today. Luckily, nobody was hurt. The tree landed just inches away from the bed of two senior residents. Five patients and three caretakers were home at the time. I heard a large thud sound and then 30 seconds later, the ground shook and my whole room shook. Just narrowly missed the occupants, just very fortunate situation that no one got killed. Heres what it looked like this afternoon from news chopper 2. You can see the gaping hole in the roof. The home has been red tagged by city officials. Residents are being cared for at another facility right across the street. And in san jose, a Safeway Store is now red tagged, after its roof gave way in the heavy rain. These are new pictures from news chopper 2, showing two big holes in the roof. The collapse happened at the safeway on east capital expressway here silver creek road late yesterday afternoon. Fortunately, there were not many customers inside at the time.

David, were hearing the storm actually dumped 1. 5 billion gallons of water into county reservoirs. Reporter thats right. Its no surprise thats good news during a drought, though water officials here in the city warn were not out of the woods yet. Afternoon sunshine in San Francisco and a break in the clouds brought welcome relief from the morning rain. Were so lucky to get such good rain, but now to have the sunshine, it feels great. Its very lovely today. Yesterday, a horrible day. Reporter the city struggled yesterday with Power Outages and flooding. You stilts officials today had reason to smile. Youre cheering at the water, getting a lot of rainfall, great for the water system. Reporter great, because thursdays storm dumped 1. 5 billion gallons of water into San Francisco county reservoirs in the east bay and on the peninsula. This is Crystal Springs reservoir last january. Today, were told its nearly full, a great relief during this time of drought. We were at roughly 56 to 57 of total system storage capacity. Normally, we would be at 80 in a normal year. This last storm put us at about 100 of normal. Reporter that means shifting Water Supplies from local reservoirs to other storage areas head of the next round of rain. The focus is also shifting to snowfall and what the spring melt could add to the system. We rely on the snow melting down in the springtime to really start providing supply. We really wont know the total picture until the snow surveys start to be done later on in the winter. Reporter even with the windfall of water, the San FranciscoPublic Utilities commission is warning folks here in the city, were still facing a drought. They are asking people here to continue to conserve by at least 10 , julie. David, thank you. As david mentioned, the storm dumped 1. 5 billion gallons of water to bay area reservoirs. To put it into context, officials at the utilities tell us customers use 217 million gallons a day, so it will only take about a week to use up the water from the storm. The Salvation Army held its annual celebrity bell ringing event in San Franciscos union square today. The nonprofit says this year the event was toned down a bit because its teams were busy responding to flood victims and others affected by the storm.

Tonight, a freelance photographer says a Highway Patrol officer was justified in pulling out his gun on a crowd of protesters in oakland earlier this week. The photographer snapped pictures similar to this one of a plainclothessed chp officer with gun drawn. The images sparked intense debate. Last night, the head of the chp in the bay area told ktvu one of its officers was punched and kicked before his partner pulled his gun on the crowd. Today, photographer Michael Short backed up that version of events saying, quote, i think it was justified. I tried to put myself in his shoes. If there was an angry crowd of 30 or 50 people coming at me and i just saw my partner punched in the back of the head, i would be pretty scared. However, short did dispute part of the chps story, saying he never heard the officer identify himself or show his badge before he pulled out his gun. New at 6 00, family and friends are preparing to say goodbye to a san jose veteran firefighter, captain darryl weeden, who passed away unexpectedly on thanksgiving morning, leaving behind a wife and four young children. Weedens fellow firefighters are now pulling together to honor his legacy. As ktvus Claudine Wong reports, they are picking up where weeden left off. Reporter from the outside, station 35 looks like it always has, and yet nothing is the same. Its just unfair. Reporter there is a void. For me, i dont know if its hit me yet. Reporter and a pain. Everything when you look around just reminds me of him. Reporter this was home for 50yearold captain darryl weeden. We had our family here. Reporter and weeden always told them the same thing. The motto he always used around the fire house and with his family, i got this. Thats exactly what he said. Reporter what they dont get is how to go on without him. There was a 911 call to the neighborhood. Reporter that call came on thanksgiving from weedens home. He had gone to bed the night before and never woke up. We all got there and just held each other, held his kids, held his wife. It just doesnt seem real. Doesnt seem real even standing here today in front of you. Reporter weeden grew up in san jose and served as an army ranger. He was a husband and father of four. He sewed all his kids he was a seamstress. He sewed all his kids Halloween Costumes since they were little. Reporter now they ask a single question. How would darryl handle it . Reporter they will do that by finishing what he started. It was well known weeden was building a dream house for his family, all by himself. There is still a lot of work to be done, but firefighters say it will get done. We just need all the help we can get to finish his home for him, to finish his legacy. Reporter from the outside, things look the same. I dont know what were going to do. Reporter look closer and you will see the void, where his turnouts should still hang, where his mail should still sit. The captains chair he should still fill. We all try to be that guy, including myself, but im not. Reporter but he always told them, i got this. Thanks for what youve taught us. Reporter as they mourn his loss well take care of each other and well take care of your family. Reporter they also make a promise. We got this. Well take care of each other. Reporter from one brother to another. Never going to be replaced. Back now to our continuing coverage of the storms slamming into the west coast, the rain has made its way to Southern California and its triggering mudslides and evacuations. Heavy rain sent mud and rocks sliding down a hillside in camarilla springs, north of los angeles. In some areas, the debris is piled 10 feet high up to the roof tops of houses. One homeowner said he stayed in his home until the storm chased him out. I knew there was 2 feet of mud behind me and soon the front window blew out. I knew that we had a complete flow of mud and water going through the house completely. In all, there were 125 evacuations. Many of those evacuation orders have been lifted and most people who could go back have already done so tonight. Here in the bay area, officials closed san joses Alum Rock Park after mudslides there. Crews counted almost a dozen landslides along hiking trails at the parks main entrance. Storm damage closed the Regional Park in san jose. Both parks are expected to reopen after crews clear debris left behind by the storm and when considered safe. Great news for skiers and snowboarders tonight, as the storm brought more than a foot of fresh snow to tahoe. Boreal slopes were packed today. The ski area opened more than a month ago thanks to man made snow. Only a third of the lifts were open today, but about two thirds of the mountain should be open by tomorrow, thanks to the new snow. While many skiers cant agree on sierra cement or sierra powder, conditions are looking better. With clear skies and sunny skies coming tomorrow and sunday, its going to be a fantastic weekend. Sugar bowl plans to reopen tomorrow after being closed for a week. Now to unusual pictures here in the bay area. While the storm forced a lot of schools to shut down, students in santa rosa took advantage of their extra free time. Take a look at this. Heavy rains flooded a baseball field at Herbert Slater middle school in santa rosa, so it became the perfect spot for jet skiing. As you can see in the video, a group of young people are making the most out of this rare situation, despite the chilly weather, putting on their bathing suits and pulled out the jetskiis. Looks like they are having a the lot of fun out there. Weve seen kayaks, jetskiis on baseball fields. Whats next . Were getting a break from the rain, but theres more rain to come, right . And its so important if it was raining today, we would be doing a whole different newscast right now, seriously. Were so fortunate that we got the big break after significant rainfall yesterday. Weve talked about it, almost a foot of rain in some places in the north bay. The Russian River, getting right to its crest. Im trying to remember, you know, i dont know if i can remember the Russian River ever going up as rapidly as it did. Im sure it has, but its been a while since weve had, in 24 hours, have that thing get to flood stage at guerneville so quickly. Fortunately, we got the break. The showers out there now are widely scattered. Got a Little Something here moving into oakland and San Francisco. Through San Francisco, pardon me. This is the kind of thing well see tonight, as these systems kind of wobble onshore. Instability will drop off a few showers in our area. Thats what were seeing out there now. Widely scattered, though, so its not an issue for Flood Warnings or flood advisories. Overnight lows tonight will be chilly. The ground is wet, so fog will be an issue in the inland bay valleys. Tomorrows a nicelooking day. Sunday, clouds increase and we have a good shot at showers by sunday night into monday. Then more rain into next week. But again, nothing the ear marks of these next systems are nothing like this last one. Theres the fog forecast for the morning hours. Certainly seeing it in the valley, the big valley. Then youll see patchy valley fog in clayton and livermore valley. Youll see it out there by st. Marys college, black point up in petaluma, youll see the fog. Wherever you usually see it, youll see it tomorrow morning. The High Pressure sits here and keeps some clouds spilling over tomorrow, so partly cloudy, partly sunny. But then that high drops out, as i mentioned on sunday night and that lets more rain in. Heres the forecast model for tomorrow. You see the signature of the fog here. You see there will be fog. Dont worry. The model doesnt always do well
