Assessment process which is a formal process that we need to go through for reimbursement purposes. Also as streets open we will be and have been updating the website to inform the public as the streets open and we will have more details in a moment on this. When people are allowed to go back into their homes we have developed a checklist for them to use to make sure that everything is safe for them beyond the normal inspection process. We will be developing a debris removal plan that we will be sharing with the public and providing some assistance with this process. As far as donation information, we have a lot of request to donate and for the red cross they only need money and no goods or clothing. The Community Foundation we set up San Jose Flood Victims Relief Fund at www. Sanjosemayor. Org. I will be available for questions and we will let the assistant fire chief provide more detailed information. Good afternoon everyone and thank you so much for helping us to provide information as we work through this difficult situation with the community. From an operations perspective we are maintaining shelters for those who need housing through the night at both james Lake High School and Evergreen High School, this evening we will discontinue Evacuation Center services at Mayfair Community center and the sheriff Powell Community center, we are not expecting any additional evacuations and we have had very low traffic flow through the areas and no community needed at this time. Again we will maintain shelters at Evergreen High School and james Lake High School. We have worked with san jose water and we are assured that Drinking Water in all areas remain safe, there was no compromise to Drinking Water and you can reference San Jose Water Company who is pushing information to the community on the subject as well. We were extremely relieved to find that we were able to open the intersection at 101 and 280 as the water has receded and traffic continues through south san jose 101 it cochran and that was previously closed and now through san jose the freeway is open all the way through town. This evening we do expect temperatures to drop and it will be a new challenge for us, whether perspective. We will provide information on Warming Centers as they are opened up through the cold snap that we will be experiencing before the next rains come over the weekend. Finally we will add road information and we have been updating our road closure information throughout the event and have been able to clear many roads and that will be posted as well for your information, as dave sykes mentioned, we will be providing very detailed mapping on areas. You have been listening to officials in san jose given update on the situation after the massive flooding hit several neighborhoods there in the area. They were telling us that some of the roads that were affected yesterday have now been opened, they say that the Drinking Water is not contaminated and is safe at the investigation into how this happened continues. We have a team of reporters covering this situation, the flooding in the investigation into how this happened and if there couldve been more warning. We have jesse gary looking into what contributed to the flooding but we will begin with and ruben with more stories of those forced out. And . Reporter and ann . Reporter it is a waiting game in coyote creek must be determined to be safe before residents are allowed back in, thousands of people are affected in the mandatory evacuation zone, among them is rob who used to sit along coyote creek and now his home sits in it, his backyard is underwater and his shed is destroyed, his basement did not fare better and well authorities are warning people to stay away from the flood damaged areas, many are not and they came to inspect their homes, some driving through to get there. Residents tell us that it is hard to be patient when they do not know when or if they will be able to move back home. My concern is when they say safe, what is safe, say for them or for me . I do not know what will happen from here. The big part is where do you live with nothing . You have no bed or no couch or anything. This is all we have. We have seen city officials out here making the rounds talking to residents and also the San Jose Fire Department is setting up command post at the three hardest hit areas and the idea will be to offer residence onsite hope and information, heather . Back to you. Thanks so much, we can only imagine what so many people are going through. San jose officials have out a full investigation into the cause there was not much warning. Ktvu jesse gary has talked with the authorities and joins us live back. Jesse . Reporter the Water District says the Water District is one of 3. 3 of capacity and they have been releasing water from the reservoir at the bottom of an outlet valve at the bottom of the hill. We will take a look at the video and this is not been enough. Due to the constant storms. Right now water is gushing down the spillway at 22,400 gallons per second. That water is flowing into coyote creek and has inundated several neighborhoods and several people are under and Evacuation Order. This is the only way to make sure that the dam does not fail due to pentup water pressure. The spillway only operates during this elevation and it flows over the spillway and then the water can be released to the valve at the base of the dam. There was no way to prevent it . There was no way. Reporter district chief operating officer, jim fiedler, says there is a plan to create a second release valve closer to the spillway that will allow the draining of about one third of the water in the reservoir in about three to five days but they have not Broken Ground on that construction and they will not for quite some time, we delve into why in the next hour, live in morgan hill, jesse gary, ktvu fox 2 news. Highway 101 is back open after major flooding caused problems. Why the flooding was causing closures among interstate 80 and the 286 junction, drivers had to use other free ways to get around and this caused a massive backup, the chp sergeant told alex savage that this spot is known for flooding but not like this. Every winter the pump houses go out and we get flooding but this is the worst ive seen and ive been here for 20 years and this is the worst flood i have seen on the freeway. Caltrans cruise pumped out the water and swept away mud and debris by 8 am and then the water had receded enough that chp opened some lanes in the entire freeway was open just before noon. A much needed break from all of the wet weather, we will talk about what is coming next. Coming up we talk about another chance for rain fall, a fairly good chance into saturday and nothing like we have experience in the past few days, outside right now you can see these clouds building up in parts of the bay area you probably thought it was a Beautiful Day with dry conditions but in the more north bay we had showers and strong thunderstorms develop and you can see this in portions of Sonoma County reporting some hail around the windsor area and that was a good thunderstorm and as you can see right now we have this mean action with the shower activity moving into Solano County and fairfield or American Canyon as well and a pretty good downpour. If you were to do a rainfall estimate you could see that it is coming up at about. 29 inches per hour so just over one quarter of an inch per hour. We will continue to move this map to the south or the scattered showers for portions of the bay area and marin. We have been hearing so much about coyote creek and Anderson Reservoir as well and coming close we take a look at the Reservoir Capacity and it has been going down so that has been a Good Development right now at 103 and it maxed out yesterday morning at the 106 . This does feed into coyote creek and heres the widers wider perspective, there is the creek winding north as it approaches san jose. Coming into one of these closer spots here towards edenvale and the National Weather service has a sensor here. This stage has been coming down as well. Right now just below flood stage and that is a Nice Development and the levels will continue to come down as the break continues into thursday and friday and a nice forecast coming up, we are talking about cold rainfall back in the weather outlook this weekend and we talk more about that in just a few minutes. Thanks so much, now we go to Alameda County where sheriffs deputy in Critical Condition after getting hit by a bus that was driven by a fellow deputy. The deputy driver was getting ready to pick up inmate this morning when he hit a coworker who was walking to the employee parking lot at the santa rita jail, ktvu has christina redone following developments. Reporter this is a hard time for the Alameda County sheriffs department, we are just learning that the deputy has been identified as mike foley, he has been with the Alameda CountySheriffs Office for eight years and came from Congress Police and worked with them for 30 years. You can imagine that the bus driver that hit him who is also a deputy is absolutely devastated, earlier this afternoon sky fox was overhead at the santa rita jail here in dublin and that is where the accident happened around 615 am this morning. We understand that the deputy was walking to work, he was here an hour early for his overtime shift and he was walking to the employee parking lot and a deputy bus driver hit him and stopped immediately to check if he was okay. We understand it still may have been dark outside and some bars on the windows or possibly even condensation on the windows couldve obscured his view. They had just started the bus so it was the start of his day and he was pulling out of his spot where they parked the bus and that is where he struck the deputy who was walking and this has been tough, we are a family and anything here with the deputy being hit or the deputy as the driver and it has been tough for everyone. Reporter the driver has 20 years of experience with the department and again he did stop the bus immediately to make sure that his coworker was okay, the deputy who was hit was conscious and talking on his way to the hospital that we understand that he was taken to another hospital outside of Alameda County and that is because we are told here the hospitals did not have the cat scan system working. We dont know if this is because there was a power outage or not. There was a report of a power outage, however the deputy was taken to another hospital outside of the county and he remains in Critical Condition. We also understand that the deputy son who is a College Student in los angeles had to get on emergency flight to be with his family so mike foleys family is at his bedside at this hour and the department is asking everyone for prayers right now is they are hoping that this deputy will pull through. Live in dublin, cristina rendon, ktvu fox 2 news. Such a tragic crash and a lot of people pulling for them heard thank you christina. The Federal Reserve is releasing details about a potential rate increase and we speak with a rate advisor on the potential effects. The last of the opponents of the Dakota Access pipeline pack up ahead of the deadline to leave the protest camp, we talk with the Oakland City Councilmember that you saw in that photo and he spent a week at the Standing Rock sioux reservation talking about the continuing fight in the latest action taken in opposition to the project, the 4 on 2 continues. Accuracy is much more important than distance. Watch. [lure drops into cup] kching fish like a pro at the Bass Pro Shops spring fishing classic with huge savings. Plus free seminars by local pro anglers this weekend. Some of the protesters at the Dakota Access pipeline but there tends on fire as the deadline to leave approach this afternoon, native american leaders say that some of the tent sites are sacred so they were ceremonially burned, the deadline has come and gone and while there are a handful of protesters there the bulk have left and gone to another site, there were a few arrest today and Officials Say they want protesters to clear because there is a risk of flooding in the area where they had set up camp. Just last night the Oakland City Council passed a resolution fighting against the Dakota Access pipeline, for more on that i am joined by Councilmember Rebecca kaplan, your reaction to what happened today . Its like there was a legitimate reason to get people out of the area because of potential flooding, do you agree with that or Something Else going on . I think we are going to have to use the whole array of tools at our disposal to show the opposition to the pipeline. If people camping on the side of construction is no longer the primary way of expressing disapproval will only reinforce the importance of other strategies like this, taking her money out of the pipeline project. You were there before and talk about what oakland did last night with the Council Approved unanimously, what was that . The Oakland City Council unanimously voted for my resolution for us to officially go on record pushing for died chessmen of our public money, specifically pension money which is invested through calpers into the dakota pipeline, this is money that came from the taxpayers of california for the Retirement Funds of the Public Workers like myself who works for the city of oakland and that represents 50 million of our money going into the pipeline that we oppose. How many are involved in the pipeline construction . You spent time there over the thanksgiving break, give us a sense of what the atmosphere was there because there were thousands of people there and now it has sort of dwindled, but they really seem to be a calling from around the world with people coming in. I was there for one week during which the crowd rose to 10,000 people. It was beautiful, there was solidarity and commitment, people were chopping wood and building medic tends and helping those that were injured by the rubber bullets and other police action. What is at the brought so many people out to the middle of nowhere . What i think is important is that we have a combination both of a threat to the planet, the threat to the water and also the threat to tribal treaty rights and after hundreds of years of Indigenous People in america things so mistreated and having land taken away and treaties violated, there is this feeling that enough is enough and we cannot stand idly by while native people are abused. What about the argument that this creates a 2000 jobs and in revenue for this area and other areas in the United States they could use the jobs and money . In fact pipelines create few jobs because the pipeline itself utilizes almost no workers. On the other hand, building solar rays and when meals and Sustainable Green Technology could create tens of thousands more jobs and this pipeline was originally proposed for a different neighborhood and when the different neighborhood that was majority white side no, the company rerouted it through native land and that is part of why this pipeline more than some others has received this level of outrage. And construction is slated to begin over the next few weeks and months, thanks for coming in rebecca kaplan. Thank you. We will take a quick break and the 4 on 2 returns in a few minutes, stay with us. The Federal Reserve could be close to making a move on Interest Rates with the potential height coming as soon as next month, this is according to the minutes that happened three weeks ago, Financial Advisor george mezzetti joins us now and these are words that were used, fairly soon, potentially, and a lot of chatter indicating that a hike could in fact be on the way. A lot of positive chatter so people know what may happen. Everyone is expecting a raise in march, it probably will not happen. If you go deep into the minutes and the federal speak it talks about headwind and that is inflation. The fed has clearly said we need inflation at 2 and we are at one point eight, it takes a while for it to get to 2 . At the march meeting coming up on the 14th and 15th we give it a 30 probability. We then worked on inflation increasing and then at june it will take up a little bit but it has to be 2 and maintain that so we give it a 50 probability. Then we get into september and we will probably have a 90 probability. What does that mean for the average person at home . Not a lot, it means the fed is responsible
