Flooding yesterday. The flooding is also affecting the morning commute. We have Team Coverage for you this morning. Alex savidge is live along highway 101 because the freeway is flooded and shut down in one part. We go to allie rasmus near the flooded businesses first. Allie. Reporter yes. This is 26th and santa clara. There are several businesses in this area that had a couple feet of water in them as early as this morning. You can see the water level here at this intersection has dropped quite a bit. Earlier this morning, you couldnt even see the pavement because cars were driving through and splashing as they drove through the flooded street. But the water levels have gone down. However, flooding is an issue throughout san jose this morning. There are 14,000 residents in the mandatory evacuation areas within the city of san jose. Theres Evacuation Orders that were updated at 10 00 last night. Mandatory evacuation includes the southwest side of 101 to the north end of 280 along coyote creek. Within that area, five schools have had flooding problems and are shut down this morning. Some of those schools are closed any way this week for the president s day week and the winter holiday. But they have been affected by flooding. We spoke to a 36year resident of san jose who had to drive around the flooded streets and says she has never seen her city like this before. I think it is insane. I think it is sad that the states let the dams and everything get this bad. I think their ideas of where to divert the water is a bad idea. I think at this point, they dont know what to do. Reporter im back out here this morning. 26th street and santa clara is where we are. There is a lumber company, a fencing company, a liquor store, a handful of businesses on the south end of the street that have had some flooding problems during the overnight hours. The driver that we spoke to said she ended up going down this flooded street. It was more flooded an hour ago. She drove down this street because of all of the detours through the neighborhood here because of the closure of highway 101. It has been a chaotic morning for drivers and residents in the area. Again, 14,000 people part of the mandatory evacuation area. In addition to that, there is a total of 36,000 residents who are in a recommended evacuation area. But those are the latest numbers we have for you this morning. Back to you guys. Allie, dave and i were remarking how much that water level has dropped at that intersection since we first saw you on morn. Reporter yeah. I would say it has gone down by several inches. Earlier this morning we couldnt see the pavement. It was like a small little lake out there. Completely covered with water. You can see on either end of the street its still got a good amount of water. Cars kind of up to the wheel wells on the civic behind us. Its much better than it was this morning. Okay. Allie rasmus, thank you. Hopefully thats a sign of things to come, things getting better. It is 7 03. Steve is over there. Can you find some sunshine. Of course i can today. The good news, coyote creek is coming down. Good. Slowly. Excuse me. There we go. Speaking of sunshine. Thats what we have right there. We will get partly cloudy skies in the afternoon. Maybe a few little isolated showers up north, especially towards lake county, northern napa county. Overall its a better pattern here. Clear and school in blossom hill. 8 of an inch of rain in the rain bucket. 27 inches of rain so far. Flooding continues towards coyote creek. That goes through saturday morning. We will get a break through at least probably saturday morning. Maybe more rain on sunday. A few showers could pop up. We dont want to forget clearlake. That Flood Warning goes until early saturday as well. When i see 10. 5 at the rumsey gauge and the flood level is nine that, is coming down slowly. It has leveled off the last i checked. A few popup showers possible. 30s for some on the peninsula. Upper 30s atherton. Los altos, 39. A few clouds and maybe a few showers popping up later. Nothing compared to the past two days. Well take it. 50s on the temps, on the cool side for the next few as well. All right, sal, where do you want to begin. In the Silicon Valley. Northbound 101, southbound 101 closed between 180 and 280. This northbound 101 takes most of the traffic. Here it is on 101 between 280 essentially and 880. You continue get through. We have a picture that we normally get through with traffic on it. Lets go to it right now. It is highway 101. There it is. Lots of times we show you this picture and traffic is moving through. There is no traffic because of the large puddle that we see under the railroad crossing. We dont know when that water is going to be moved. Maybe they will pump it out. Maybe theyre waiting for it to recede. Its not going anywhere. We will get back to this in a moment. Lets go to the bay bridge toll plaza and show you the traffic in the east bay is pretty normal. About a 20 to 25 minute delay. Also slow traffic on highway 4, 680, 24, its a normal commute driving through the area. I also want to mention theres a pg e outage in Castro Valley. Five different Power Outages affecting more than 40,000 customers. That includes cal state event bay, part of hayward and Castro Valley. It is centered in Castro Valley. One person said i would like to go to work but the garage gate wont go up. So i cant go to work. Thats the way it goes. Were going to keep an eye on that. Lets go back to highway 101 in san jose. It is closed because of extreme flooding. Alex savidge is on 101. Alex, have you heard from anyone there as to what is going to happen . Are they going to open this eventually . Reporter well, really, sal, what we understand from the chp, theyre just waiting for the water to recede. And it seems like it is going down ever so slightly here. Here is that large puddle. I like the word puddle, sam. Here is the large standing body of water covering all of the lanes of 101 this morning. We are watching the water recede ever so slightly. Still, its not to a point where they can reopen 101. So this is an area to avoid this morning if you commute in the south bay. Tell your friends, tell your neighbors, you wont be able to travel in either direction on highway 101 this morning. You can see it is shut down because of the serious flooding. Let me put the map up so you get a sense of where the flooding is. 101 is closed in both directions between the 880 junction on the north side and between the 280 680 on the south side. That is several miles of freeway that is shut down entirely because of the flood waters. Water began rushing on to the freeway around 8 00 or so last night. When it got deep enough, a foot or so in some spots, the chp decided it was time to close things down. I talked with a chp officer about how this will impact the commute here in the south bay. Its going to have a major impact, especially as i stated during the commute hours, which are essentially from now until, you know, somewhere past 9 00 a. M. So any of those vehicles and anybody heading that direction, use an alternate route. Reporter further south from here, there is better news in morgan hill because overnight they did shut down the northbound lanes of 101 right at cochran road. I can tell you that those were reopened just a couple of hours ago. So northbound 101 back open in morgan hill. Better news there. But of course this is the bigger issue here in san jose. 101 shut down in both directions between 880 and between the 280 680 interchange. No traffic getting through here at all. And the chp essentially waiting for the water to recede. The water level has dropped several inches but not to a point that it is safe to let traffic through here. Alex savidge in san jose. Thank you. The time is 7 09. About half the people evacuated because of flooding in san jose spent last night at shelters at local high schools. In fact dinner last night was served outside at james lick high school. There were cots there as well so people could try to get sleep. Most didnt bring much with them and churches and regular people heard about that and started bringing clothing and food and toys to the shelters. When i came to speak to one of the site coordinators, i ended up seeing a little girl. And all she had in her hand was a little mickey mouse. She was about my daughters age. And i cried. Yeah. Mayor sam liccardo also visited saying the police have been patrolling the evacuated neighborhoods to prevent looting that. Is a potential and serious problem because families left so quickly. A Water Rescue Team will head into the flood zone today to help with potential rescues. The swift Water Rescue Team has been busy these past couple of weeks. They went to butte county to help with flooding concerns there with the oroville dam. Then they went to sacramento to help with potential water emergencies in that area. The time is 7 10. The flood waters in san jose are a threat for several reasons. Coming up at 7 30, the possible contamination in the flood water and why emergency officials are telling people stay away. And you may soon be able to watch the giants or the as from your phone or computer live. Up next, the possible deal in the works between facebook and Major League Baseball. Still a lot of closures out there because of flooding. And also slow traffic in many areas. This freeway doesnt look like a freeway right now. It is closed because of that large body of water on 101 near mckee. We will tell you what the details look like straight ahead. At least its not raining. One positive there. It is colder. We will get a break here for a few days. Youve got to let it go. Ive had it forever. Well sell it on letgo. Hey, ill take it. Its time to snap, post, chat and sell. Its time to letgo. According to bloomberg another problem is employers dont put much effort into helping eligible workers to sign up. The market might be quiet for the trading day. Many investors are wait for the Federal Reserve to release the minutes from the policy meeting that ended on the first of this month. Theyre looking for clues how soon and how often this year the fed might raise Interest Rates. You might soon be able to watch your Major League Baseball games on facebook. Facebook is negotiating with the league to live stream one baseball game per week. By partnering with facebook, Major League Baseball gets access to a younger audience on a large scale. Going after a sports audience that twitter has been trying to capture. Facebook has live streamed soccer and basketball games. Twitter has live streamed nfl games. I will talk about ups plans to test service and drone delivery. Oh. More talk of drones in the area. Thank you, pam. The time is 7 16. How would you like to win 403 million . You might want to buy a powerball ticket. Tonights jackpot drawing is 403 million, one of the biggest drawings in powerball history. The odds of winning, 1 in 293 million. Thats enough for me. You can opt for a lump sum payment of 250 million. The drawing is at 7 59 pacific time. Okay. Ill call you at 8 00. 7 16. Sal has had his hands full. No rain out there but the effects are seen in the south bay judge we usually have a picture of 101 south bay that is uneventful, 101 between mckee and 880. It looks different right now. No cars on it northbound or southbound because of the large body of water under the railroad crossing. Its a low point on the freeway and obviously the water has gone down there. We heard alex savidge say it has receded a little bit but not enough to put the traffic through. The traffic is going to be slow on 101 approaching the closure on 85 and 280. Im surprised this has not been as bad as i thought it would be in the Silicon Valley. That may because more people in the valley have, you know, ways to work without having to drive there. But on most days, we have a lot more slow traffic. People have heard about this and some may be staying away. I dont want to mislead you. It is slow approaching the closures. It is not a great commute but i thought it would be worse. I want to show you other parts of the bay. Were not for getting about you ultima pass. Also 680 is slow recovering from earlier problems between concord and walnut creek. There was a problem at the walnut creek interchange that has been removed. Lets go to the bay bridge toll plaza. You can see traffic is backed up for what looks like a normal morning commute of 20 minutes before you make it on to the span. At 7 18, lets bring steve in with todays forecast. Castro valley, have we mentioned that. Castro valley, there were 40,000 people without power. Pg e is working on it. Now about 30,000 without power. The bart station, the trains are running and the lights are on at the station in Castro Valley. Thank you, sir. Good information. We have a quiet pattern. I think it is long overdue. How long will it last . About three days. There will be buildup of clouds. We wont be sunnysunny. We will get sunshine in the morning. It is colder. Clearlake which has many, many flood issues. Clearlake is at 10. 5 feet. Flood stage is at 9. It is going up and there are evacuations for i think on the shoreline between kelseyville, lake port, a couple people writing and saying mention that. I know. Thats still a major issue up there. You will get a break for three days. But that Flood Warning continues until saturday morning, early saturday morning. Its been there for a while. I think its going to be there for a while to be honest. We have coyote creek. There are signs that water is coming down. On most of the gauges i have seen, it is coming down from when it peaked out last night. You can see the cloud cover, the cold air working its way over the ocean water. I think a possibility of a few coming out of Mendocino County or northern napa later today. Other than that, things look quiet but it is cold. 37 in napa. Low 40s for some. Palo alto at 41. Woodside and i think stanford checked in in the upper 30s. Soquel at 39. Santa clara very close. Boulder creek. That cold air is working its way in. 23 up in truckee. Our observer paul up there sent me a picture and says there are Power Outages and phone lines down in truckee. At least the snow is stopping. 30s for sacramento and ukiah. It looks a lot quieter now after a crazy couple days there as well. Things will be on the drier side until probably late saturday. Thats the way its looking right now. It will be a colder system coming out of the gulf of alaska. 50s on the temps. Excuse me. We are looking at partly sunny. I think sun in the morning and clouds in the afternoon. I think the same for thursday. Friday looks good. The lows are cold. We cloud it up saturday. Rain and wind on sunday possible. Thank you, steve. Yeah. Tb at a so solona high school. We are learning more about the executive order on immigration. What the critics are already saying. There is a place, like no other. Where a walk down main street, can fill you with wonder. And the smile of a mouse can spark joy. Where magic is spread with every touch, and always leaves you wanting even more. So make the time. To take your time because one day just isnt enough. Here, there is magic for days. New this morning, the city of san leandro is officially declaring itself a sanctuary city.

President trump has signed an executive order, one that would deny federal funding to the safe haven city thats could amount to millions of dollars lost for bay area cities.
