Thats you in sonoma county, where it has been pouring in all day. Napa, marin county, one of the hardest hit areas. Richmond, concord, martinez, the city of San Francisco. One of the wettest days in the citys history. Right now number 20 all time and the steady rainfall does move all the way down to san jose. Look at the past three hours. Its almost like nothing is changing. It just continues to see waves and waves of rainfall moving in. Im finally being able to see a break in the rainfall off camera there, but we will have at least two to three hours of heavy rainfall. Marin county, coming up on five inches of rain. In the santa cruz mountains, more than four inches of rain officially in San Francisco. Nearly three inches of rainfall. And more than two for fair field and union city. Weve had a soaking day of rain straight without a break. Our rain will rapidly decrease around 2 00 this morning. So two or three more hours, then well see it really taper down.

Reporter and weve got a moderate rainfall here in the Mountain Grove section of santa rosa, ken. And it has been like this all day long. A serious concern for the areas scared by those october fires. Santa rosas burn zone has been getting soaked all day. And that has homeowners who are desperately trying to recover worried once again. It is a big concern for us because, you know, we have heard about sinkholes and everything, and we are getting quite a bit of rain. There is just not a lot of safety out there that can prevent it. Reporter the wildfires that burned down thousands of homes three months ago also destroyed much of the vegetation especially in the fountaingrove area. So we dont have the grasses, the brushes, the trees. A lot of kill out there. Its what keeps the ground stable. Reporter unstable ground can lead to problems like this. Today a hillside gave way at river road in guerneville 18 miles to the west. The rock slide was quickly cleared away. Nothing like that yet here in santa rosa, but officials are preparing for the worst. We have no reason to evacuate at this point in time, but we definitely have the plans in place and the resources in place in case it is required. Reporter santa rosa put up 30 signs around town and mailed out 3,000 notices to homeowners about highrisk areas. You may remember two months ago the city identified more than 30 underground storm drains that had melted away. Well those have since been fixed. Because there was not much rain last month, they were able to do some hydroseeding to get grass growing, which has begun to stabilize some of the hillside. City crews are on standby especially here in the fountaingrove area, liz, as this rain intensifies. So far no signs of letting up. All right, joe vazquez live in santa rosa for us tonight. Stay safe, joe. Our Team Coverage continues with betty yu off highway 17 in the santa cruz mountains. Betty . Reporter liz, im standing just off fair creek road.

Other low lying streets near the coliseum were also covered. The National Weather service is warning we will see gusty winds overnight and possibly into the Early Morning especially in the hills.

The suspect then pulled out a gun and shot them both. Last night police made three arrests. One suspect is still on the run. Both wounded men are expected to be okay. Well it is really an epidemic in San Francisco. Car breakins, they were up 26 last year alone. Tonight, kpix 5 Katie Nielsen reports that police have a new strategy to keep you from becoming a victim. Reporter a family from utah parked their car to take pictures at the popular tourist spot, lombard street. It only took a few minutes for a thief to come up, case the car, and break the window to steal a purse. One of the most frustrating things for me when im Walking Around the city, driving around, i look on the ground and i see pebbles of glass. I know what that means, you all know what it means. Reporter on average it happens 85 times every day. In 2016 the city saw more than 25,000 smash and grabs. That number jumped to more than 30,000 in 2017. It doesnt happen in other cities and it shouldnt be happening in San Francisco. Reporter now the city is doubling down, and will station property crimes coordinators at each police station. It takes coordination to make this happen. That is going to be their job. Reporter the extra officers sole job will be to prevent and investigate breakins. Police say organized crime rings are responsible for the spike in thefts. Many of them are from the city. Some of them are, many of them arent. We have to work with the other departments and the other cities to make sure we are all on the same page. Reporter but it also takes help from drivers. Police say dont tempt the bad guys by leaving valuables like this or this or this in the car. It is very humbling when you have this issue and you cant fix it. Reporter right in and out arrest rate for auto breakins within the city limits is only 2 . So the new efforts have a long way to go. In San Francisco, Katie Nielsen, kpix 5.

He wrote in his memo, differences and distributions of traits between men and women may in part explain why we dont have 50 representation of women in tech and leadership. Damore also suggested women may just prefer other jobs. It is kind of the lord of the flies mentality there where a person can be singled out and then group shamed, bullied, and fired.

But that did not stop people from taking a stroll along the embarcadero. In a Traffic Alert to tell you and a Traffic Alert to tell you about this one in alameda. Tomorrow morning around 7 00, crews will be repairing traffic signals. Well you havent heard too much about the drought lately, but tonight a reminder that it still haunts us despite last years record winter. One part of california is still sinking. Wilson walker shows us one of the states most important canals is now failing. During the drought between 2012 and 2016, the San Joaquin Valley was subsiding at the fastest rate in the world. Reporter this is where valley subsidence was discovered. A town that is known for its population because agricultures demand for water here has sent pumps ever deeper into the ground, causing the valley floor to sink by dozens of feet. They had to add some length onto these pipes because they couldnt open the doors anymore. Reporter canal skirts buckled, bridges failed, and homes started sprouting cracks. But the hope is that last years big winter might deliver some help. As the distance gets closer, there is subsidence. As the distance gets further, there is uplift. Reporter in this immediate area, last winter made some difference. Some of the rain and snow melt reached the ground water. And that pressurized the aquifer, pushing the valley floor back up. Yeah, a little bit. A little bit. You know, a couple inches maybe. Something like that. Reporter its an incredible idea that this big chunk of the valley is rising and falling sort of like it is drawing a breath every year. But while our historic winter managed to pause subsidence here a little bit, one part of california simply will not stop sinking. And were running into some canal capacity problems associated with subsidence as well. Doug deflitch is the chief district. The other pocket of subsidence is turning into a crisis. The canal runs 152 miles from the dam to the current river. The 452 miles is gravity fed. It falls at a rate of about six inches a mile. Reporter along the way it irrigates one million acres of farmland and serves as a backup water supply for the low income communities that saw wells run dry during the height of the drought. But this critical gravityfed system is collapsing. With subsidence, there is a section of the canal, about a 25mile section of the canal that has dropped down in elevation. Reporter to be precise, its dropping by as much as one inch a month. Yeah that, is very rapid. An inch a month is very, very rapid in subsidence. Every time it goes down, it decreases our capacity to move water down below that point. We estimate those decreases are about 60 of the design. Reporter so this canal is at about 40 capacity. Making matters worse, a portion of this water is designated for ground water recharge. Those deliveries are now at risk. Any solution will easily cause hundreds of millions of dollars. Reporter one winter is not going to get us out of trouble. Reporter that is the brutal lesson of last winter. Even record precipitation cant bail us out of our subsidence problem. How often can we expect to have a recordbreaking winter . If it is anything like the last ten years, we can expect drought in the near future. Reporter in the San Joaquin Valley, wilson walker, kpix 5. Oh your immediate forecast right now is for almost record rainfalls in San Francisco at least for one day. It is still pouring, it has been since a little after midnight. This morning going on 24 straight hours, i think well get there. Its pouring in oakland. It is pouring in marin county, up i80, into richmond, out to highway 4. South of hayward, pouring, south of sfo, pouring. Well zoom out, look at the entire north bay. A quarter of an inch to half an inch per hour all the way to clearlake and to the east of vacaville, past sacramento to auburn, and all the way south of santa cruz. But here is the clearing line. Look west of santa cruz. That lack of rainfall, thats whats working north. By 2 00 in the morning, the steady rain is finished, but man has it been pouring all day long in the top ten wettest calendar day ever in San Francisco history. Snowing in the sierras, but you have to go up way high about 7,000 feet to have that rain change to snow. Above that mark anywhere from 1218 inches of total snowfall. Look at the rain. Same shot i showed you with 6 00, hasnt let up for 5. 5 hours. Livermore, 54 currently. San jose 60. Concord 54, santa rosa, 54, and oakland 57. Lows tonight stay mild, tropical air. Fremont 54, santa rosa, 53, pacifica, 53. How can we go 55 days with less than one inch of rain . And then in one day we triple that number. It is just so strange. Well, we were not tapping into the tropics. Now we have both in one day. A strong storm coming out of the gulf of alaska, which will cause major flooding problems. They will have twice the amount of rain. We are tapping into the tropical moisture, which has been pouring in. Since the storm has been moving north to south, that focus of the heaviest rainfall has been sitting over the bay area for about one half of one day. If it was just moving west and east, that would be moving out. We do see the clearing line begin to move up to San Francisco by 2 00 in the morning. Only some scattered showers for the morning rush tomorrow. Scattered showers lasting in the south bay until 3 00. Clearing skies by tomorrow evening. Itll be much drier. Steady rain is wrapping up with scattered showers continuing into the afternoon. Its not completely dry. We will be completely dry for the rest of the week, wednesday all the way through the weekend. So just like the rain pours for 24 straight hours, then it will be gone for at least five days. Highs around 60 tomorrow. Concord, san jose 60. San francisco 67 degrees. Scattered showers mainly tomorrow morning and then as if it never happened. Five straight dry days, then some light showers are possible next week. We are a boom or bust economy. We are a boom or bust weather pattern. Nothing for two months and now all of this in one day. Yes, fire, mud slides. It has been a year. Yes. Thanks, paul. Thanks, paul.

Tonight organizers are being criticized for being behind in diversity. It comes at a time where there is a lot of attention on the lack of women representation in the industry. Not just the tech industries. They have women on panels, but there are more opportunities to show that women are a force in tech. Reporter organizers say they will read double efforts to expand as future speakers. Sending a strong message to the media before the warriors tipped off against the nuggets. And why they will be expanding tomorrow in alabama as the National Championship game. D quarterbacks how about this. Georgia shutting out alabama at half time. But the crimson tide switched quarterbacks that sets the stage for a thrilling finish. Trailing by as many as 13 points. In the third they started fighting on the sidelines. But then nick saban called on the hawaii freshman quarterback to lead them to victory. On 4th down, 4 minutes to go, finding calvin rid le to tie the game ridley to tie the game up. Setting up a game winning field goal. But andy missed the short 36 yarder that would have ended it. 2320 georgia in overtime after taking a 16yard sack. There it is. Airing it out to smith after completing just 35 passes all season. The freshman leads bama to a 26 23 win. Their fifth title in nine years under nick saban. To have thrown that pass after he took the sack, but i couldnt get out there fast enough. He was wide open. I hit him and here we are now, thank god. They go down on the heat, leaving the game with a knee strain, but they would come back in the second quarter. Denver probably wished they would have stayed in the locker room, scoring 19 in the second half, hitting a bomb to the right. He had 32. The warriors win 124114. The loud mouth father of the rookie is going after the teams head coach. He told espn that he does not have control of the team anymore. They are very close friends.
