Reporter dan and ama the tree is quite large. Crews were unable to finish the clean up work tonight. How, as the tree fell it pulled up a chunk of the sidewalk creating a big mess on busy college avenue. Workers with the professional Tree Care Company dropped everything when they got a call from the city of berkeley about a fallen tree on college avenue. The 80foot elm is three feet in diameter and much of it landed on top of an apartment building. No one was hurt and there was minimal structural damage. Removing the tree piece by piece has been a challenge. The guys are using power tools in what would be normally daylight and now it is dark outside. In a perfect situation we would have big light towers and leet up the whole and light up the whole scene. The elm was found hollow and likely diseased and the rain and the wind were enough for the tree to topple. It also shutdown Ferry Service between South San Francisco and alameda.

Reporter the vehicle was found as you heard in a neighborhood near the Regional Medical center. We are told that the suspect was arrested with the help of the canine that tracked down the suspect. We
Quarter inch. We talked about the line that could be in the north bay, and that is exactly what has happened, and it looks like things are letting up a little bit, but still like shower activity around antioch, concord, the east bay in the peninsula. The breeze will be here with the blustery day, east southeast for two days, mild on the temperatures. We dont expect that to change, and we could see mid70s if the sun pops out. The next system is not one favoring the north bay, for everybody on thursday. 60s and 70s on the temperatures. 6 01 am. Slow traffic, a lot of people driving a little bit slower, and the rain you mentioned, not major but enough to slow down the traffic. When we get to the bay bridge you can see we have the camera a little bit wet, not a major downpour but slowing people down on the bridge. Here it is normally slow anyway, 25 to 30 minute delay, taking a little longer than normal. Talking about the north bay commute, vallejo has low traffic approaching the carquinez
