Sal have you been able to fix the bay bridge problem yet . Is going to take a while there was a motorcycle crash and then there was another leading up to the bay bridge on 80 on ashby avenue. The slow traffic remains at 80 westbound between the carquinez bridge and the macarthur maze it has taken almost 80 minutes. So 80 minutes on i80. Unfortunately, that is what is going on, the traffic will be very slow and when you get to the bay bridge it is still slow. The only thing you have is the carpool lane if you can get into the carpool lane you can get to the bridge ahead of a lot of people but it is going to be tough, san mateo and dunbar and are also slow as you have heard about the trouble with the bay bridge some people are coming to the midbay crossings. The crash on i80 is not going away, both directions are slow because of this crash at the campos parkway. Highway 4 is slow as you drive through traffic is going to be okay on 680 but if you are driving from pleasanton to fremont it will be very slow because we have an earlier accident that just cleared. Have a tough monday commit what about todays weather . For some, this is the summer we have had, fog on the coast fog in the city yet you move inland and it is blazing hot. The fog will retreat but when you get this much fog temperatures hold in check although over the weekend there is fog rocketing up but this looks like 60s or 70s for much of the coast and San Francisco and moving inland it wont be long to get into the 90s or 100. 105 for many inland locations, lets talk about harvey crawling along 2 to 3 Miles Per Hour. That is part of the problem trying to get houston on the backside of any rain. The main feeder bands have moved off but the flow is coming off the gulf. That is about 80 a degree water that is tremendous moisture with the dew points exceedingly high so they will filter in rain. 10 to 20 inches would not surprise on top of this two feet they have. Somebody made a great point there is no power or Cell Phone Service so now we are just getting the extent of the damage as some areas have reporters coming in and going out they say they dont have any Cell Phone Service but now they can see it is really bad. Some of that has moved into louisiana and lake charles projections of 10 to 20 inches for new orleans as the system comes parallel toward galveston over toward louisiana and also northward. There is no steering current so that is why it is moving so slowly. Back here it is all about this hot pattern. I was watching some baseball over the weekend and they said it is so nice in the midwest. Low humidity in the 70s so there you go, one area cool one is hot so unless youre on the coast you are hot. Foremost, the fog is not moving out except for highway 1. 50s and 60s were temperatures not taking long to get hot we have submitted 60s with the cooling stopped now these will call around and the low cloud deck is going to stay in place with a hint of a slight cool down over the next couple of days. A lot of moisture is streaming along the spine of the sierra and some of that could sneak in here. More likely tomorrow we will have some of that taking a turn coming from arizona. 65 stinson beach, 109 clearly clearlake, napa at 99. We had a family wedding this weekend i think i sweated off three pounds. 105 off three pounds. 1052109 from concord to brentwood, 80 in oakland, 76 alameda that is the spirit. 100 for the Santa Clara Valley and East San Jose in the 100. 60s and 70s coast and the city, 80s and 90s on the peninsula. So, watch your car thermometer over by the peninsula. Cooler on tuesday and wednesday and then warm again into the weekend.

A very busy monday morning im Gasia Mikaelian good morning, im dave clark. Rescue crews are still using boats to get to people stranded by the floodwaters. The coast guard the Texas Department of Public Safety and private citizens are cruising the streets now covered by three feet of water. The boat teams have brought out dozens of people stuck in their homes, flood victims are grateful to be saved but they are sad about what has been lost. My friends house is gone and that is kind of sad. She has worked so hard so there are memories getting taken away. It is all just materialistic stuff but it will always be there in your mind. At least two deaths have been confirmed, but the number may go up. It is still raining there in the floodwaters arising. Rescue efforts are underway as harvey causes devastating flooding in texas. Doug luzader live from houston is so what is the latest . Reporter good morning, conditions have gotten worse, we have seen the wind and rain kick up. The flooding has gotten a little bit better in downtown but the expectation is the floodwaters will get even worse day after day of rain as the storm circulates right overhead. Some of the rescues have been dramatic perhaps thousands have made it out but many more waiting for help. Some of those who escaped are having a tough time describing what they have been through. Volunteer and rescue boats are trying to meet the demand with helicopters plucking some from rooftops with houston bracing for more rain totals approaching 50 inches in some areas before harvey finally departs this week. Those shelters are quickly filling, rescued residents arrived by the truckload at the Downtown Convention center some clutching their belongings. Near the coast the scenes of harveys fury were becoming clear but beyond the wind damage the extensive flooding could be even more dangerous. President trump monitoring the response adding to his disaster declaration he will be in the region tomorrow where he will see firsthand the devastation and the community banding together to respond. Reporter there are a lot of resources on their way to texas. The navy is sending helicopters about 15 states are sending First Responders to assist in rescue efforts and that could extend into the coming days getting people out of their homes and into shelters. So we can see looking at you that things are getting worse. How bad is it at this moment . Where you are located . Reporter well, it is raining quite a bit, the wind has kicked up, earlier this morning it was not that bad. We had periods where it was not raining at all but that will be the story over the next few days where we go through the bands of wind and rain and then relative calmness. There are questions as to why people were not evacuated just ahead of the storm, is there a break . Are people evacuating ahead of the next coming rounds . Reporter im sorry, i think that was something about the evacuations. Yes, there is some controversy as to if houston should have evacuated that is a debate that will continue for some time. The governor supported the idea of evacuations and local officials did not think it was necessary. At this point it could be a matter of debate but the bottom line is that people did not evacuate and a lot of them this morning probably wish they would have. Thank you for talking to us, we can see that things are deteriorating. You stay safe out there. So many stories and so many harrowing accounts, Steve Paulson for the better part of last week we were talking about catastrophic flooding. This came on shore friday night and has not moved much. You can see the track of Corpus Christi right there in the gray. It went there now it is headed back to the gulf so now it is even closer parallel. The Tropical Storm moving southeast at three Miles Per Hour. It might not clear houston until wednesday or thursday. If the track continues that is. Now it is coming into the warm gulf it should not reach hurricane strength again but if enough comes over around the gulf coast that 87 degree water it could reintensified but at the same time look at the bands some of the feeder bands have moved off but looking at the core of this it is to houston moving at three Miles Per Hour you will continue to give moisture coming from the gulf and it is moisture laden. They are a long way from being done, the national Weather Service just tweeted out they had to update the color table on their graphic to show how much rain has fallen. They are talking 30 or 40 inches for some and there is more maybe 10 to 20 inches possible. Also headed toward louisiana and new orleans in mind for 10 to 20 this week, for us it is about the fog on the coast in the city where it is hot inland. Middletown 107 yesterday and hotter today at 108. Inland areas will be very warm and they are warming up on the coast for some dealing with the fog is going to be too much. These and 60s right now ending up with 60s, 70s, 80s and 90s up to 109 well from the coast. If you are, that is what you have to deal with. I am here and it took me a while to digest that. You know what, we are going to make the best of it. The commute this morning is not good. I dont have much good news lets take a look at what we have now. The fog has moved in so we have not been able to look at the east shore but you can see at the macarthur maze it is taking one hour to drive from the bridge to the maze which is actually an improvement. We had a crash at ashby avenue and at the bay bridge that was slowing things down. We are slow on the span as well so today if you are expecting someone coming from the east bay they might arrive in a challenge to move. Lets look at interstate lets look at interstate 880. The traffic is looking pretty good in both directions. At the san mateo bridge people have been using the san mateo bridge and the dumbarton bridge instead as alternate routes. Vacaville is not recovered yet, we had a major accident on 80 near manual campos parkway and traffic in both directions is going slow. Highway 4 is also slow. We do have a tough morning, 7 38 lets go to the desk. Fire crews are battling the grass fire in the hills south of livermore. Cal fire told us new numbers it is 40 contained, 44 acres have burned. Allie rasmus live near livermore where the fire is burning and crews have made some progress but their job is far from over. Reporter the progress as you mentioned it is 40 contained now it was 20 contained last night and it has not grown at all since last night. According to cal fires latest update the fire has not spread this morning which is the good news. One of the challenges today is the very hot weather here in livermore. Looking at the thermometer behind us, 60 degrees in livermore, it actually feels warmer with the sun up and the temperature could get up to 108 today in livermore. That will be adding to the challenges in battling this fire. Here is a map of where the fire is located in this remote area near crane ridge road about eight miles south of incorporated livermore. Alameda county firefighters say that the terrain is tough. They showed us this video of the plane dousing the hills with fire retardant and as of the latest update from 10 minutes ago, 44 acres have burned in the hills. Definitely some progress compared to the 20 containment overnight. The fire started along miles road at 6 30 last night. Cal fire, fremont, pleasanton as well is working with Alameda County to put out the fire. We know the fire is not threatening homes but there are reports it could be threatening highvoltage power lines. We are working to confirm that information. For now, the good news they are making progress. Back to you guys. 7 40, we are following the latest out of texas this morning. Coming up at 8 00 how local fire crews are helping with the response efforts. Overcoming your financial fears, the relatively painless changes you could make to those bad spending habits so you can take action. Welcome back to mornings on 2, state lawmakers are considering for the first time a tax on Drinking Water in california. Under the legislation california homes and businesses would pay . 95 per month to fix hundreds of public Water Systems with unsafe tapwater. Some areas are at high risk because of agricultural runoff, the money would clean up contaminated groundwater and improve Water Systems. Formers and environmentalists are supporting it but it is opposed by Water Districts who Say Something as essential as Drinking Water should not be taxed. More and more people are worried about money according to a new study that says there are three big financial anxieties. Hillary vaughn has the steps you can take to get rid of some of those fears. Financial concerns are rising according to a Northwestern Mutual study 85 are suffering from financial anxiety. There are three main concerns, thoughts of never being able to retire, constantly living paycheck to paycheck and living in debt forever. The important thing is to take the right action to alleviate your fears. We have to assess where we are verses where you want to be and start working a plan that will work. Building a safety net is also a concern, 69 of americans have less than 1000 of savings. Expert chris hogan says to reverse the paycheck to paycheck cycle focus on where your money is going. What is your budget what does it take to live on . We had to identify money leaks so eating out, Grocery Shopping or unnecessary purchases. Identifying those things will allow you to implement your controls. Many people look at the lottery as something to solve their financial troubles. We spent 73. 8 billion on the lottery in the us. So, i think it is one of those things where i am concerned most people are spending money on things they need on those powerball tickets and that is dangerous. You need to take care of your kids. If you want to make millions you will have better luck investing and saving diligently, after all it is your cash, hillary vaughn, foxbusiness. Lets get you out the door with Sal Castaneda.
