Good to see you. A hot day today. We have the heat advisories and warnings. Then harvey this which is the which is the story of the year. This is off the charts in terms of weather and historical flooding. Houston has over 2 Million People and they have almost two feet of rain last night in some places. We will get to that. For us we have the heat advisory. That is because we have strong High Pressure center that has not given up. It sticks around. It has fog and produced fog at the coast.

See you back here. Thanks. 7 02 on the clock. We keep a close eye on berkeley today. They have been asking people not to show up for the rally today but counterprotestors say they will be there and police are preparing. The protest was scheduled for Berkeley Center part but the city denied a permit. City leaders say they are hoping to avoid scenes similar to last april when protestors and counter demonstrators clashed at the park. There was violence between the conflicting demonstrations and several people went to the hospital including a person that got stabbed. We have ktvu allie rasmus live at Civic Center Park. Yesterday fences went up in alamo square. Looks like you have barricades behind you. Reporter a lot of barricades. Crisscrossing the park there are cement barricades. On the other side, i believe that is center street, those are blocked off to cars. So, even though the organizer of the no to marxism in america rally said she was canceling the event, police, counter demonstrators arent buying it. They are prepared anyway. A short time ago we saw a group of people who are counter demonstrating the event. They got up on these trees and they are putting up a large banner above the park. It says bay area stands against hate and white supremacy. The Organizer Says her event has been misconstrued, misrepresented by the city. She didnt want White Supremacists at her event. But city officials and Berkeley Police warned in the past there were problems at Civic Center Park between left and right wing groups. Clashes so they are prepared in case anything happens. The no to markism rally was supposed to start at 1 00 this afternoon. In response there are counter demonstrations planned throughout the city of berkeley with various groups planning to meet here. You see a lot of police. Earlier this morning we saw a lot of Law Enforcement officers inside the old Berkeley City Hall meeting and gathering for a briefing that we are told to prepare for the days events. Counter demonstrators are prepared. We put up a banner a short time ago but in the days ahead of this planned protest, people came out and started writing things, messages in chalk on the sidewalk for give peace a chance, no to hate. Its clear people on all sides are preparing for an event to happen here. When it gets started, it isnt clear. The initial rally was supposed to happen at 1 00. It has officially been canceled. As you mentioned, some of the supporters of that initial event plan to show up here this afternoon anyway. We will see what happens. Back to you guys. I have been talking to Berkeley Police officers who say they came in early at o dark 100 this morning and talking about the rules and weapons and sticks out. Can you tell in terms of the barricades that this is away they are bringing people in in a way to check everyone that comes in the park . Reporter we dont see anything like metal detectors or anything like that. But the orange barricades in the middle of the park then rentable cement barricades around the perimeter of the park. I dont know if you can see it. There is a city of Berkeley Office behind the tree. You can see people with the city of berkeley boarding up the front doors. Do you see that, ryan .

They are putting those we just saw that, noticed them doing that, the city of Berkeley Office. Civic center park behind Berkeley City Hall and the Police Department and old Berkeley City Hall that you see over there. Even though the event is technically canceled, no one is buying that. Better to be prepared like San Francisco was yesterday. Allie rasmus, thanks. New this morning we are hearing from the organizer of the Patriot Prayer rally. Joey gibson posted this on his Facebook Page. It says, quote the group Patriot Prayer has been changing plans since he announced that the rally would not happen and he would hold a News Conference at alamo square in the city. Then we told you that he canceled the News Conference then later in the day moved it to pacifica. I have to go from spot to spot unannounced. Otherwise we will have a thousand ninjas show up trying to kill me. Gibson said he and his group are misunderstood by government officials, public and media. He said its wrong to call them White Supremacists even though there are some White Supremacists drawn to his past event. My message is simple. Its about love, peace and freedom. There is no president , no leader that can fix our problem at a grass roots level. It has to be amongst us. Gibson said the goal was to provide a platform for people to speak out. We will head to berkeley today. He is planning on rallies in portland, oregon. When gibson changed his plans, people that disagreed with him said they would make sure that their voices were heard. What city, our city. Thousands of demonstrators converged in the city. Police were prepared for trouble. They brought in barricades and officers. Patriot prayer demonstrators never showed up. As a white person, i feel like i have to be at the front standing up against hate. Next week it will be another corner then another corner. You know, if we let a little bit of hate speech, nazis in, they will spread and kill our people. After the music, all the speeches and what the marchers called a big group hug, Police Escorted them to mission and 24th streets. As that was happening, thousands of other marchers headed to the Civic Center Plaza. You can see from high above there. Police say there was one arrest for public intoxication.

As we saw yesterday, protestors are likely to show up any way. We expect them to show up in berkeley today. The group Patriot Prayer confirmed overnight that it will be heading to berkeley today. A plan to prevent major flooding on coyote creek, the city is working to keep it under control in case we have another week of wet weather. We will explain what will be done to try to protect the areas to surround coyote creek so that never happens again. No barriers could hold back the furry of Hurricane Harvey. The storm is moving inland into texas. It has been downgraded again to a Tropical Storm but catostrophic flooding is a major concern. Bill martin has been watching it all morning. We sock bit, its slow. If it kept moving it would be okay but it is just sitting over them. That is what is happening. Its right over the area. We talk about houston because thats where the Population Center is but look at the outlying areas. There is only so much you could do. We couldnt prepare for that much water. 2 feet of rain in six hours, what do you do. Look at the airport, if you have travel plans through dallas or houston, it aint happening or it will be delayed or have issues. Those airport delays will extend in chicago because these are hubs impacted. This storm as it goes forward i will show you the close up then get to our weather, that redbox is a Tornado Warning around the houston area as well. As if that wasnt bad enough. If you look at do that. I want to show you the movement of this thing. You can see where the center of the eye is. Lets put a 36 hour loop on. Here it is as a hurricane. It comes on shore. Now, watch, it stops. This thing is not moving. Its hanging out. As long as it hangs out in that position, 36 hours, it keeps bringing moisture in off the gulf of mexico. It is ex streamly moist air and you are getting hammered. That is 36 hours of no movement. For us, we got fog along the coast. Its very dense at the coast right now. You got a shallow inversion. Temperatures will get up there. Its 69 in livermore. That is 69 degrees at 8 00 in the morning. It will be a hot day. 70 degrees. Temperatures warmer than last night. This is why we have the excessive heat warning in red. Those are the inland bay valleys. Excessive heat advisory for oakland, san jose, fremont and some of the cities around the bay. This is for today. It could extend into tomorrow. We have a spare the air day today as well. As you look outside, it looks hot. There is san jose. Temperatures are going to get in the 90s today. They are under a heat advisory. Take it slow. Dont rush around. Its sunday. Football is on, stuff to do. Hang out close to home and try not to mow your lawn, dont barbecue tonight. Temperatures will be hot. We will keep a close eye on berkeley today. They have been asking people not to show up for the rally today but counterprotestors say they will be there and police are preparing. The protest was scheduled for Berkeley Center part but the city denied a permit. City leaders say they are hoping to avoid scenes similar to last april when protestors and counter demonstrators clashed at the park. There was violence between the conflicting demonstrations and several people went to the hospital including a person that got stabbed. We have ktvu allie rasmus live at Civic Center Park. You can see the barriers behind her in case the protestors show up. Good morning. Good morning. Yeah, contradictory even though permits have been denied, its clear that the city and police are repairing for something to happen out here anyway. The barricades are behind me. Police were explaining that they are designed to cut through the middle of the open park, the open space with the intent to keep groups apart and avoid a big brawl or conflict that could break out if its a wide open space. Counter demonstrators are preparing for the people, the supporters to show up even though the callie is canceled the rally is canceled. They got out here this morning and put up this banner. They got up on ladders and put it up earlier this morning. I think we have video of that to show you. This is just before 7 00. Also we have seen some public works crews with the city of berkeley boarding up the office buildings, City Office Buildings that are around the perimeter of this park. To give you an idea, Civic Center Park, Law Enforcement presence around the perimeter. There are barricades in the park and around the park. Ac transit says there are detours to some of the routes because there are two major streets that are closed. This is alston at Martin Luther king junior and center between Martin Luther king closed to traffic this morning. We have seen Law Enforcement officers out here with k9 units checking the perimeter to make sure there is nothing suspicious ahead of the planned rallies that were then canceled but it appears there will be some sort of activity happening later this afternoon, i should say, anyway. 1 00 is when the no to markism rally was supposed to happen even though it was canceled. Some supporters of that event said on social Media Channels that they plan to be out here anyway. Its confusing. I know at 1 00, 1 30 there was another rally that didnt get a permit that was supposed to be at 10 30. I think we are in the same position as yesterday we are waiting and seeing because without permits we cant predict anything. Right. Its clear from the barricades that you see out here and the heavy Law Enforcement presence that everyone is pre is preparing for something to happen. They want to be overprepared. If nothing comes of it, no confrontation, no violence between any groups, that obviously is the best case scenario. I think the city and Law Enforcement officers are being prepared just in case. Probably a good idea, since they had issues in the past with the protestors there. We will see what happens. Thank you for that live report in berkeley. Its 8 07. New this morning, we are hearing from the organizers of the Patriot Prayer rally. Joey gibson posted on his Facebook Page that he will be in berkeley. The post says i will be dropping in and out of Downtown Berkeley all day tomorrow in hopes of talking to, quote, unquote, normal people. They have been constantly changing plans since friday afternoon when gibson announced that the permitted rally in San Francisco would not happen. Instead, he would hold a News Conference at alamo square, more in the downtown area of the city. Then as we told you yesterday, he canceled the News Conference then later in the day he moved it to pacifica. I have to go from spot to spot unannounced. Otherwise well will have a thousand ninjas showing up to try to kill me. Gibson says he and his group have been misunderstood by government officials, the public and media. They say its wrong to call patriots of prayer White Supremacists even though there are some that have been drawn to his past events. My message is simple, its about bringing this country together. Its about love, peace and freedom. There is no president , no leader that can fix our problem at a grass roots level. It has to be amongst us. Gibson says his goal in San Francisco was to provide a platform for moderate democrats to speak out. He said frequently the public only hears from the far left and far right. He says he will head over to berkeley but says he is holding rallies next in portland, oregon. Patriot prayers rally was expected to be the biggest rally but when they changed their plans, people said they would make sure that their voices were heard. Whose city . Our city. Thousands of demonstrators converged in the city. Patriot prayer supporters never showed up but the demonstrators worked out a deal with police to allow a peaceful rally and march. As a white person, i feel like i have to be at the front standing up against hate. We let them hang out on one corner, a couple of them, next week another corner and another. If we let a little hate seep in, a little bit of nazis in, it will spread and kill our people. After speeches and what groups called a group hug, they escourted them to 24th street. That is was happening, thousands of other marchers headed from the Castro District to Civic Center Plaza. There was only one arrest and that was for public intoxication. New this morning, the Piedmont City Council will hold a special meeting tomorrow to consider demoting the mayor over comments he made on facebook. According to the east bay times, he posted that transgender people are mentally ill, liberals are unamerican and black lives Matter Movement encourages cop killing. The paper says he made it during a facebook conversation with a resident. His Facebook Page is now private by the way. He could be demoted to a City Council Member under the resolution being considered tomorrow. The city of oakland said goodbye to one of the firefighters that was the victim of a homicide off duty.

We are trying to do what we call forward lean. Crews from the bay area expect to be gone from two to three weeks. We have heard another crew from men low park is on standby as well.

Probably into tuesday or wednesday as this system is stuck between two High Pressures. A big high up here and a big high over here. This guy is this moisture is wedged in between the two. With that said, lets take a look at how slow this is moving. This is 36 hours of radar loop. How much has that thing moved. Most of it occurred when it came on shore. Its sitting there. As it sits there, it pushes moisture over the area. Poor drainage, massive flooding. Rainfall, i had reports of rainfall in the houston area last night. They went to bed last night, we will get 5, 6 inches. Some areas got 20 inches of rain. This is sfo. Talking about flight delays, there will be some. Dallas is a major hub, houston is a major hub. Husband stone is all but shut down. Different night issues flying definite issues flying around in the United States. Lets show you what we got right here look at houston. They are just in they are in the bullseye of this copious moisture that continues to flow in off the gulf of mexico. The reason i said this thing, this is the center, this thing needs to move and its not. That is the problem. Thats why we are concerned with the next 48 to 72 hours. Here are the model forecasts. They are not encouraging the next few days. One model says lets go back out to see and reform. They are all over the map. It indicates that this storm is not moving. Thats the story. This is a huge story. This is historical flooding, epic flooding and a lot of folks in harms way. The bay area will have some response to that. You can tell us more about that christien how rescue crews are helping out. The storm stalled over the houston area and the area is getting unundated, more and more rain on top of the rain that they had. The damage from harvey as it made landfall and now sitting over the houston area. Bay area crews are on the way to the flood zones of texas. We are getting word that a crew from men low park is being called in. We have harold on the phone. Are you there . Yes, sir. Good morning. First off, what are you hearing . Are you going to deploy to texas and where are you going . The unearly, official word about 6 00 this morning, i can tell you that we are more than likely going to go. I dont have official records in front of me. You hit it. The thing is doing things that no one anticipated. It has been doing that all along. The rain projections will get nothing but worse. I think you will see the top shelf, this will be kat level event in terms of the Response Teams that will be going. So, we have people at our facility that are ready preparing. We will wait for the official paperwork but, you know, that will be a matter of a couple of phone calls then everybody starts coming in. So, goes you guys are in a ready position. We will touch on the katrina connection in a moment. How do you physically move into an area like that. How do you get the personnel and equipment that you need from the bay area into texas. Do you drive in . Thats it. In katrina, we flew into shreveport and boots on ground day two. Wish we could have made it day one but there bass glitches in the transport out of travis.

Harold, we are looking at the unbelievable pictures. You see vehicles in water up to their hubcaps. People in water past their knees. Does watching video like this and what is going on in texas help you guys prep so you know what you are going into. Yes and no. This isnt our first rodeo. Katrina was epic as you used the term. This is different. This is not levees that have broken in the lowest geographically situated city in the United States. There is nowhere for the water to go somewhere like that and the pumps werent working. This will be different. The difference its a rainmaker. At the end of the day it will dump, dump, dump, the rain. It will have to ease in. This is a water rescue component. You drive as far as you can go and take boats in for the rest. When the weather gets better the key thing for katrina, we didnt see it until day 6, air operations. We need the military, guard, all the guys with helicopters to come in to move us further in and around, you know, the theater of operations. That will be critical. I know they learned those lessons. And i think this time, from what im seeing and hearing already, this is a much differently organized attack. Leaning in, resources on the ground, National Declaration from the state of texas, president authorized funds. This looks different. We are not looking for the mayor of new orleans there are a lot of things that are more forward leaning and operationally set. All right. Thank you so much.
