Bonkers. There is the second cell going through. Came out of eastern Contra Costa County, oakley, antioch, brentwood and Discovery Bay and moved into mount diablo, bay point, walnut creek. That is the second cell moving through there is the first. That fella part once it got past concord and walnut creek. This will be likewise as well. Starting off with cool air. But the cone shows from walnut creek to berkeley. Berkeley would be more of a rain. Multiple cells are going bonkers in the north bay. From calistoga to southern end of lake county, middle town and Hidden Valley lake, santa rosa, windsor, now heading down to the Russian River, occidental and bodega bay and even more from the east. Up to calistoga as well. Look at that over san rafael. That is big time. Over to sebastopol and Russian River, forest villas well. Thats not the only one. You can see a little towards middleton here. Big cell went through gilroy. That has since collapsed. You can see that heading over to watsonville. But there are multiple cells to the south, towards monterey. They just keep going and going and going. You see one, two, three. Carmel valley lit up right now. That is closer to the low. Counterclockwise of flow in the upper atmosphere is bringing in instability and thunderstorms. Underneath that a big fog bank. This is the start of a major cooldown. We will have a combination of low clouds, high clouds, thunderstorms. Other than that, not much going on. 60s, 70s way down on the temps below average for the first time in eye while. 7 02. Sal, youve had issues as well. I think some are rain related. Highway 4, i have to say, steve, is not doing well. And i think the wet weather there has definitely contributed. It is always slow on highway 4 of course. Lets go to the traffic. I want to start with the south bay. But we will get to the east bay. Northbound 280 up to highway 17, slow traffic. Also slow traffic on all of the south bay troys, including 85 which is backed up big time. Backing up before the exit here. And traffic will be busy as you drive through. All of it. Northbound 101 is also going to be slow as you drive up from southern san jose. 280 is slow approaching 17. 880 southbound between hayward and union city is slow. And so is the san mateo bridge. We mentioned highway 4. It is slower than normal. And 24 is as well because of earlier issues. If youre contra costa commuter, you need extra time. Here is a live look at highway 24. It is getting better. The accidents have cleared. This is a look at the bay bridge. Backed up for 15 to 20 minutes. It is 7 04ment back to the desk. New this morning, Antioch Police are investigating a case of road rage that left the suspect hospitalized. It it started when the suspect drove his car into another car with two people inside. Officers say the suspect continued to ram the victims car and both drove to lone tree way. They stopped there and the suspect approached the victim, holding a tire iron. The man individe of the victims car was an off duty sheriffs deputy and fired one shot at the suspect, injuring him. The suspect ran away. The victim waited for police. The suspect was later found and taken to the hospital. He is now being treated for a gunshot wound. Investigators are considering this a case of domestic violence. In other news, the oakland as have decided where to build the stadium. It will build the stadium off of interstate 880 near Laney College. Alex savidge is live at the site this morning with why the as have chosen that site. Reporter we have waited for this decision for quite a while. They have made it official. They want to build it here on these 13 acres of land owned by the Community College district. It is a small piece of land tucked in here near the intersection of 8th street and 5th avenue right next to interstate 880. And obviously fairly close to the lake merritt bart station as well. This is just across the way from Laney College here in oakland. And the as have decided this is the place to build. You talked about the convenience, in terms of being close to transportation. They want a new ballpark here that they are hoping the team will be playing in by 2023. Last night, the as president sent a letter to the chancellor of the peralta Community College district saying the site across from laney is, quote, a priority for the team. He wrote in the letter that, quote, we envision a sports related hub in oakland with new playing fields and facilities for Community Use serving as an anchor project to entice additional redevelopment, including significant commercial and residential uses. But one man who works close by here is somewhat skeptical about a ballpark at this location. I think theres a better place than this one. Why dont they just it is closer to bart. Why move away from there . Reporter now, for a long time the as have been considering three potential sites for the new stadium. One was the current coliseum site. Simply rebuilding there. They were also looking at a waterfront location at Howard Terminal near Jack London Square and considering the Peralta College site, the site close to Laney College. In this neighborhood, there is growing opposition to a ballpark being built here. Some believe that the stadium just cannot coexist with Laney College. It would be too difficult for those that go to school. Those who live nearby are worried about the low income neighbors being forced out once you have all of that development here. Nothing is set in stone here. The as still need to work out a deal and negotiate the terms of a deal with the peralta Community College district here. So a long way to go in this. But the as have finally selected a site for the new ballpark. Alex, i know the as looked largely to the public. I remember filling out that long survey about where would you like the new ballpark. What is most important to you. I expect this is mostly due to public input. Reporter i would certainly imagine so. We also know over the last however many months we have watched this Team Executives have visited all of the different sites as well. I remember watching them visit the Howard Terminal site near Jack London Square. The potential waterfront location. They made visits to this site as you can imagine. I think they looked at this and saw the convenience in terms of transportation just off of interstate 880, close to the bart station and near downtown. And i think that may have been a lot of what the appeal was, being close to downtown and having a new ballpark built in the middle of this neighborhood. Alex, i know youre going to talk to the mayor of oakland later this morning. We should have that on the 9 in reaction to the news. Reporter were hoping to. If the mayor is watching, make sure that you reach out to us, please. We would love to her hear thoughts on this new site. Thank you, alex. Alex savidge in oakland. Thank you. Time now is 7 08. U. S. Marines and sailors are in the u. S. Virgin islands helping victims of Hurricane Irma. You can see how busy they are. Theres a lot to do. In st. Thomas, the massive storm left most of that caribbean island uninhabitable. Many residents dont have any power, gas or water and they will need help for a long time. In the florida keys, early estimates suggest that a quarter of the homes were destroyed by Hurricane Irma. Search and rescue teams are still going door to door in the hardest hit areas. When katrina hit louisiana and stuff like that, you feel sorry for people and you think of what theyre going through. But when it hits your town, it is different. It is not just us, it is everybody. Ody. More than 9 Million People in florida are still without electricity. Broward countys mayor say that five people died inside of a nursing home. It lost power as irma roared through the area. More from tampa. Reporter people in battered areas of florida are trying to figure out what to do now that they have gotten a clear look at their homes and businesses. Residents of the hardest hit area, the florida keys, returning home or what is left of their home. A quarter of the houses there were destroyed by irma and nearly every home on the keys sustained some sort of damage. We have leaks coming in all weird places. On the second floor. And theres stuff on the first floor. Reporter somewhat better in other parts of florida where people are still grasping the full effects of the storm. Irma hitting some harder than others. These trailers were barely touched, while rvs a few feet away were obliterated by the winds. It literally lifted it up, over the trees and set it down about 50 feet. Reporter many floridians remain in the dark. Ac is hard to come by, water, and gas. How long did you wait on the line . About an hour and a half. Wow. And that is the first time that i found a station open around here. Reporter some struggling to get to the pump in time to fill up their cars. I am totally in the red. But yes. Yes. I dont know what to do now. Reporter here on the states west coast, Power Companies are being honest with customers, telling them not to expect electricity for at least another week. In tampa, lauren blanchacd, fox news. Bay area First Responders are in the area helping victims of Hurricane Irma. A team of 81 people in a large aircraft handle arrived in the florida panhandle. They drove 60 hours with a massive convoy and bringing 60,000 pounds of search and rescue equipment with them. They also have search and rescue dogs as well as drones. The time is 7 11. One part of the east bay this morning people are being warped do not drink the tap water. We will tell you which neighborhoods are affected and what is being done to fix the problem. A new app can help people park at bay area bart stations. How it can help you find a parking spot. If youre driving on the bridges, one bridge looks good. If youre going to the golden gate bridge, it looks good. However, it could be damp in marin county. Well, the main show so far this morning was in brentwood, antioch. It is absolutely pouring in santa rosa right now. We will look at both of those coming up. Been trying to prepare for this day. And im still not ready. The reason im telling you this is that there will be moments in your life that. Youll never be ready for. Your little girl getting married being one of them. Welcome back to mornings on 2. San Francisco Police busy investigating a triple shooting. And one person was killed. The call came in after 10 15 last night. It all happened on sunnyvale avenue in mission valley. We have no word yet on the condition of the two other victims or a possible suspect.

He was a mile from the airport when the crash happened. He planned to participate in the solar fest being held there. Traffic control said that he checked in when he was supposed to. The time is now 7 15. The two men charged in the ghost ship warehouse fire in oakland where 36 people died is scheduled to be in court today. Both are expected to enter pleas to the 36 counts of Involuntary Manslaughter they have been charged with. One for each of the 36 people who died in the fire. They are being held in jail on 750,000 bail. Alumina was the Master Tenant of the warehouse. Harris was his assistant and running the artist collective. The ghost ship warehouse fire occurred last december. Theres a new way to keep from wasting time looking for a parking spot at some bart stations. The Transit Agency is setting aside parking spots for carpoolers that use the scoop app. You can use the app to type in the name of the bart station they use and find a ride. If you cant make a match, the user is notified and given a ride to work from the station. This went into effect at the san bruno station yesterday. It already increased carpooling at the dublin pleasanton bart station last july. If youre not there by 6 00, 7 00 in the morning. Forget it. Forget it. Forget it. That leads us right over to sal. Youve been busy all morning, my friend. Yes, we have. And, you know, as i stay busy and busy, i stay to myself, this is the new normal. 280 northbound getting up to highway 17. This traffic will be moderate. We look at the rest of the south bay commute. All of this is filled. 280, 101 all filled in. If i choose the freeway to avoid right now it would be 85. 87 is also slow. People are looking for alternatives. I cant say one is better than the other. It is getting very slow. The east bay commute is also very slow on 238. 880 and 580 and 680. But the slowest in the bay area because of the weather that steve and i have been talking about is solid from antioch all the way over. There have been minor crashes, but the latest one is near summersville. Just be careful. Give yourself extra time. One of our Staff Members walked a motorcyclist wipe out in the wet weather. It is raining now. Windshield wiper there. It will be raining. Please give yourself extra time. That is exactly what we dont need. Lets bring in steve paulson. Steve, is it going to rain all day or just a shower. Scattered showers. 101 by santa rosa is red on your map. It is red on mine. Yeah. I can look it up and have it for you. Trying to get as many as i can. I appreciate the information. Im happily overwhelmed if you will because there is so much going on. Now, theyre starting a couple cells started near the bay moving back to concord and walnut creek. The second cell is moving through holding together. Were getting some of that. And even drizzle underneath that. There are multiple things going on. Lets get to it. Caught amazing shots of lightning. Yes. Big time. Antioch, brentwood, oakley this morning. Discovery bay. That was one. Wow. Heard rain in santa rosa and then it began pouring. Look at that. It started earlier. Windsor, hillsberg and cloverdale. Heavy rain in calistoga. Middleton and Hidden Valley lake. Thats what is over santa rosa, heading over to im sure occidental and the Russian River. You get a better look at it coming over from napa county into sonoma county. Just lighting up right now. Thats what is going on with that. And this track take its to the west. Back over towards bodega bay. So right over from santa rosa, sebastopol and the Russian River and north on the 116. Look at lafayette. That is the cell that went through earlier. This is the cell right now. It falls apart a little bit. Still holding its own over orinda, walnut creek, concord and over mount diablo. Clayton had good rain and concord. Highway 4 over mount diablo, brentwood, antioch, they started it all off this morning. You see the numerous Lightning Strikes. It takes it towards hercules, berkeley and back over to he will cerritos and el sobrante. Not much left by the time it gets there. The monterey peninsula has been lit up like a Christmas Tree all morning long. These are close to the lull. The lull is churning to the west southwest of monterey. That makes sense. 60s on the temps. Again underneath that is a good fog bank and strong wind. Delta wind. The cooling has begun. More thunderstorms i would think possible. 60sand 70s on the temps. Subpoena some off and on rain to the north and east. More so than the south. Gasia, if you like cooler weather, youve got it. Perfect. Thank you, steve. The time is 7 21. Questions for tesla following Hurricane Irma. Next the added boost for drivers trying to evacuate the storm. Also apple unveiled a number of new products. This morning, we will tell you what people think of the iphone 10. Theres an unexpected benefit to having an electric car after a disaster as such as Hurricane Harvey or irma. Pam cook is back in the studio with todays money business. Gasia was wondering who will buy these phones. Analysts predict that apple will sell a record 85 million iphones during the holiday quarter. A lot of people will be upgrading. Ringing the opening bell this morning, very interesting. That is jack welch. Former ceo of General Electrics. They are commemorating forks 100th anniversary. While he was ceo of General Electric between 1981 and 2001, the companys value rose 4,000 . He did pretty well there. Checking in on the numbers. They are down a little bit this morning. But of course all three major indexes hit record highs yesterday. So a live look at the numbers right now. Im keeping an eye on them. Down a little bit today. That is after hitting the records yesterday. Tesla Vehicle Owners who were in the path of Hurricane Irma last week were given a burst in power. They pushed a Software Upgrade that extended battery range of certain models in the storms path to help people evacuate. They come with a 75kilowatt battery pack that have an option to pay for the extra range at a later date. The update allows people to travel an extra 30 to 40 miles charge free for those florida car owners until september 16th because of what theyre dealing with. A nice gesture from tesla. Apple is adding three new smart phones to its lineup along with other services and products. [music] true apple fashion. Very jazzy event. Apple marked the 10th anniversary yesterday at the steve jobs theater yesterday in cupertino. The biggest buzz is about the iphone 10 or x which tim cook says it is the biggest leap forward since the original iphone. It has an edge to edge glass screen as expected and it can be unlocked using facial recognition technology. So i think the iphone 10 is that the expectations that we have given what was leaked ahead of time, it is an impressive engineering feat. It is a larger screen but a phone that is smaller than that in the past. Other features include selfies in portrait mode. No distinct home bud on. That is something that we have been talking about for a while. The technology from richer colors in the photograph and the rumor suggested the iphone 10 is priced at 999. It starts at that price. Comes out november 3rd. Something that a lot of us were hoping for did not get was that ear phone jack. It is not back. Not bringing it back. Okay. I think in the 8 actually the 8 and the 8 plus, it might be back. But not the iphone x. All right. Thank you. The warriors made another blockbuster deal. Coming up, the teams agreement with a japanese Internet Company and what you can expect to see up there on the court. Residents in one alameda neighborhood instructed not to drink the water or give pets the tap water. We will tell you about the Water Quality alert issued last night and how long it could be before residents are able to drink the water again. At Stanford Health care, we can now use a blood sample to detect lung cancer. If we can do that, imagine what we can do for asthma. And if we can stop seizures in epilepsy patients with a small pacemaker for the brain, imagine what we can do for multiple sclerosis, even migraines. If we can use patients genes to predict Heart Disease in their families, imagine what we can do for the conditions that affect us all. Imagine what we can do for you. Been trying to prepare for this day. And im still not ready. The reason im telling you this is that there will be moments in your life that. Youll never be ready for. Your little girl getting married being one of them. The time is 7 30. The 24 commute is always a rough one, especially so today because there was a motorcycle accident earlier in the morning. The accident scene has been cleared, but the backup lingers. Terrible from if youre coming from walnut creek west to oakland and beyond. Keep this in mind if it is part of your daily commute. Busy wednesday, september 13th. Im gasia mikaelian. Good morning. Im dave clark. Parts of part of the reason is our weather. It has been a wild weather day. Crazy. A lot going on. Santa rosa right now seems to be taking the leader of the pack as far as the active weather. We still have a good cell that came out of eastern Contra Costa County. It is over walnut creek. There was a huge one over gilroy. That has since collapsed. Low clouds underneath and an on shore wind and even drizzle. But santa rosa looks to be the main focus and up to the Russian River. Santa rosa set off a lot of car alarms. Im sure. Lets take a look. Right there. Winds are up in cloverdale and hillsberg. Pretty good cell coming out of st. Helena and calistoga. You can see the Lightning Strikes, multiple Lightning Strikes going through Russian River for us, occidental and im sure heading over to bodega bay. Not too bad. You can see the cone. It will be there before 52 minutes in bodega bay. Not only that one. This is the second cell that came out. There is the first. It collapsed as it moved past concord and walnut creek. The second one is falling apart. Bethel island, Discovery Bay. Still pretty good over lafayette and orinda. It looks like it is heading towards parts of berkeley and richmond, piedmont area. You see a good cell over 24. And some of that by the time they get to the west, they lose some support. If you get light rain, that is coming in from east to west. Monterey has been nonstop. One line after another. It is all associated with the low. That is funneling in Thunder Showers for us. Cooler pattern to start. The wind has picked up on the surface. Aloft it is off shore. 22 and gusts almost to 30. A possibility of Thunder Showers. It looks like the north and east bay are the leaders of the pack so far. 60s and 70s on the temps. Speaking of santa rose a you promised me and we have it for you. It is not as bad as i thought but there is slowing. We have to get to the slowest traffic in the bay. That would be the east bay. Steve and i have been talking about the east bay commute, especially highway 4. 80 is slow. Some people avoiding 680. When one freeway gets slow and these people avoid the other one, you can see the bay bridge toll plaza also has a delay. And this is a look now at highway 24. As you just saw a few moments ago, very slow traffic on 24 because of earlier crashes and some of the rain. We talked about highway 4. And just all of the slow traffic here. In fact i can bring up highway 4 for and you just kind of slide on over. It will be slow as you drive through. And we saw 80 as well. Now, steve was talking about it and he is absolutely right. So if steves job as a weather man doesnt work out, he can be a traffic guy. Highway 101 in santa rosa is slow. Just as he said it would be. Thats because of the weather that he mentioned moving through. If is your commute, you should add extra time. Fire crews in San Mateo County are busy in a rural part of the county. They called this the skaggs fire burning in the hills above woodside. Now, the fire is now 50 acres and only 10 contained. Yesterday the crews out there dumped water and fire retardant on the fire. 1,000 Lightning Strikes ignited seven fires across san mateo and santa cruz counties overnight. All were quickly put out except for this one. It was rocking and rolling last night. And the rain came down heavy. Not a lot but came down real heavy. But the lightning was just intense. St intense. More than 100 firefighters had to hike about a mile and a half in steep terrain to reach the flames. The win was working in their favor though yesterday, pushing the fire away from homes there in the hills. The time is 7 35. Dont drink the water, the tap water. That is the order this morning from officials in the city of alameda. The warning applies to millions of people who work and live near the air base. Allie rasmus is live there to show what people affected by the order are doing instead today. Allie. Reporter well, this morning they are picking up free bottles of water, cases of it. Being see there is a decent amount in front of city hall west. The address in case you need to pick it up is 950 east mall square. Those who live in the neighborhood where the Naval Air Base used to be are being told to only use bottled water for the next 48 hours because the tap water may not be contaminanted. They cant even give it to their pets. At this point officials believe what happened was a nonpublic irrigation line crossed and contaminated the regular Drinking Water supply. What are you worried about right now . We have known for about a week. It is more of a smell. What does it smell like . Bad. Like dirt, algae. Yeah. A musty smell. We had a stomach ache but i didnt think anything of it. I thought it was just back to school, adjusting. Reporter and thats how alameda and east bay mud officials found about the problem. Those who work and live near this area reported an unusual smell to the water. And as you heard some people say they felt like they had gotten sick over the last week or so with the change in the water. Only Alameda Point is affected by this. We reached out to city officials to find out exactly how many people were impacted by this. The citys website says there are about a hundred company and a thousand people who work here at Alameda Point. But we dont have how many people who live here may be affected. But east bay mud has started to flush out some of the contaminated water. As a precaution, city officials are saying to avoid use being the tap water here at Alameda Point for the next 48 hours at least. Back to you guys. Thank you, allie. Yeah. Critics opposed to giving Police Officers tasers in San Francisco were at a meeting last night. It was the first of two to happen this month before the Police Commission votes on whether or not to let Police Officers use tasers. In recent years, officials have tried several times to win support for using tasers, saying it would reduce the number of Police Shootings. But they have been opposed by community activists. They say it is a danger toet mentally ill. It will happen at San Francisco city college. Berkeley city officials voted to let Police Officers carry pepper spray ahead of a potentially violent protest tomorrow. Shapiro will make a speech tomorrow at cal. Police are preparing for possible violence like when Milo Yiannopoulos was scheduled to speak. They can use pepper spray against those who attack officers but rejected a proposal to be used for crowd control. Pepper spray was banned back in 1997. The warriors have a new corporate sponsor and you will be seeing their logo. They signed a threeyear, 60 million with a japanese e Commerce Company similar to amazon. The company gets to put its logo on the upper left there you go. On the upper Left Shoulder of the warriors jersey. It comes after a policy that lets teams sell sponsorship rights to their jerseys. Some of the fans are concerned about growing commercialism in the nba. The nba. If it is a company that promotes good things, then yes. Im not a huge fan of logos on the jerseys. But i definitely love the team, support the team. Some of the benefits are that the global brand could give the team more visibility in japan where the nba is huge. Facebook is reportedly ready to spend millions to buy a reality show based on Oakland Raiders star marshawn lynch. The program may be called no script. The show is scheduled to start streaming this month. It will consist of eight episodes following his life on and off the field. This is part of an effort to build up the streaming channel called watch on facebook as it tries to compete with netflix and amazon. The time is 7 40. New details about what could be the future home of the oakland as. Coming up at 8 00, where the team decided to build a new stadium and how the new location could help fan thats want to get to the games. In our next hour, our continuing coverage on homelessness in the bay area. The impact on neighborhoods and what tourists think about our region when they leave. Wet weather on the morning commute. And that is causing slow traffic along with other things. This commute here is not the greatest on highway 24. Well, a couple of your comments pouring in windsor, pouring in orinda. Yeah. Theres lots going on. And it will also be cooler, cooler. [ engines revving ] when you drop a 603horsepower v8 biturbo engine into one of mercedesbenzs finest luxury sedans, what do you get . [ engine stalls ] you get out of the way. 0to60 in 3. 3 seconds. The mercedesamg e63 s sedan. The time 7 43. We are focusing on homelessness in the bay area this week. Something else, more younger people are among the homeless. Maureen naylor tells us that the growing number of homeless are also affecting tourists. Reporter in downtown san jose, there are chairs, initially put here to attract tourists ahead of super bowl l. They have become a permanent fixture along with the homeless. I just saw one when i walked past from the hotel. There was a guy there. I mean, theyre pretty much everywhere. The coworkers in mission in town for a tech conference say the homeless affected their first impression. People living in tents under the brings and the highways. Living out of their cars with trash and other stuff. People taking up benches around the city. It impacts tourism a little bit. But it has cleaned up the last couple of years. Downtown san jose owners pay safety ambassadors to keep the area cleaned up. What i do on a daily day is wake up the homeless, make sure that theyre not in front of any businesses and make sure that theyre doing okay. Checkup on them. Were dealing with a crisis. The Housing Department says the citys Homeless Population is up 7 from last year. Young homeless are on the rise, with 1400 homeless young adults between 18 and 24. And 300 unaccompanied homeless children. The number of chronic homeless, veterans and families have declined. So weve got homelessness in the encampments along the creeks and in the downtown area. We develop know that Homeless Housing to help those on the streets works. We asked the city about tourism and how to get people off of the streets makes san jose a better place for everyone. Maureen naylor, ktvu fox 2 news. Our question of the day is do you think that homelessness affects the image of bay area cities . Yes or no. Let us know what you think by voting on ktvu. Com or twitter and we appreciate it when you leave comments on our facebook page. Coming up this sunday night at 9 00, we hope you join us for a prime time special on the bay areas homeless issues. We will be hearing from a number of mayors on the steps theyre taking. And if you missed part one of the series, we will reair that thursday night at 8 00 on ktvu plus. You can also see it in its entirety on ktvu. Com. Thats right. Our time is 7 46. I want to see what sal is seeing in our commute right now. It has been a busy commute. Yes. I can tell when it is busy because i start getting tweets, snaps, Facebook Messages about how bad it is. And, you know, i can relate. You will see that it is slow. Steve had reported on one of the tweets that he got that it was pouring in orinda about 15 minutes ago. This will be a tough commute. It started with a motorcycle accident earlier that is gone. But the slow traffic has remained ever since. It will probably stay that way for the rest of the morning commute. Once you get on to the bridge, it looks good. You can see the clouds over San Francisco in that shot. 580 is slow at the Altamont Pass and the 680 interchange. And a lot of slow traffic. In fact, so much slow traffic that i cant really talk about it all. We would here forever. Generally the east bay commute is suffering from another very slow commute. Especially highway 4, 24, and 680. 7 47, lets bring in steve with todays forecast. What time is it . Say it again. Im going to take off. It is 7 47. The boeing 747 super liner. Thank you. Taking first class people. Always, always sal. Use the miles to sit in first class for sure. Very quiet. Oh, geez. Believe it or not coming into work, most of us had drizzle. Over towards Jack London Square and into San Francisco. And then about 4 15 it started, it being the thunderstorms. Now it has been up towards santa rosa where it has been coming down. This is gary converse, our observer in calistoga hills. Sounded like a Bowling Alley earlier. No strikes. Get it. I get that. That is very clever. A few showers. Heavy rain in st. Helena. Still coming out of areas to the east back over towards northern napa county. Santa rosa, it is still coming down. Santa rosa, bennett valley, and then earlier windsor and cloverdale. Now up through the Russian River and through the sonoma coast. North of dylan beach. Multiple Lightning Strike. I think the rain was a bigger story. Minor flooding is what ive been told. I didnt see a lot on the rain totals. These are more lightning shows than rain shows. Take a look at a couple things going on. Orinda, good rain right there. It has collapsed but heading over towards kensington and berkeley and maybe piedmont. You see the cone right there takes it over to sausalito, tiburon and over to north beach. You get light rain. It is coming in back from the east. Same for oakland over to San Francisco. The main cell, the first one, second one. That was prime time here for antioch and over to oakley and mount diablo, concord to walnut creek. Really lit up. I want to mention there was a huge cell around hollister and gilroy. That has fallen apart. From highway 1 from salinas to monterey, it has been nonstop because the low is parked right there. It will continue to stand in bands of instability. Underneath that, 60. Our cooler pattern has begun. We had a wind of gusts of 35. Off and on thunderstorm activity. We are in for a cooler pattern. Low clouds, thunderstorms. Pretty good breeze out there.

Focused on some of them around santa rosa, down to park. It was near cloverdale, hillsberg. It went through right there. Coming out of Southern Lake county. And then also st. Helena, calistoga. In the last hour, hour and a half it has been all about santa rosa and the Russian River, over to bodega bay. Earlier two cells came out of the east and headed back over towards orinda and back over to berkeley. There is even a little cell in tiburon and sausalito. How about that. Stretching from oakland into San Francisco. Not a lot but a little bit. Where is the rain coming from . It is coming from the east. But the main show earlier was antioch, bay point, brentwood.

Lets start with a look at the bay commute, which is the bay bridge which affects everyone. This has been uneventful but still very slow. The rest of the east bay commute has been slow because of the wet weather that steve was talking about all over the place. Especially where it has been wet, highway 24, 680, highway 4 is extremely slow. From antioch all the way to concord. 680 is backed up from the benecia bridge and down to 24. And 24 has not improved unfortunately. Theres a lot of slow traffic on 880 as well getting up to downtown oakland this morning. And were not for getting about the south bay.

They have been planning to build a new stadium lake of lake merritt and near Laney College. Alex savidge is there this morning and with more on why the as chose that location. Reporter this site is near downtown oakland. Convenient from a transportation standpoint. One of the reasons that they want to build it here on these 13 acres of land. Near the intersection of 8th street and 5th avenue right next to 880 as you can see. So youve got the freeway close by. You also have the lake merritt bart station just a few blocks from here. Some of the reasons that the as want to build their new home here at this location. The team hoping to get the stadium built and have the team playing here by 2023. Now, last night the as president made the announcement in a letter that was sent to the chancellor of the peralta Community College district. You will remember the as had been considering three different sites for a new stadium. The current coliseum site, a waterfront location at Howard Terminal near Jack London Square, and then this site near Laney College. Already there is opposition to this ballpark. Some people spoke out last night at a peralta Community College District Board meeting. Some believe that the stadium cannot coexist with Laney College in this area. Others are worried about low income neighbors being pushed out by the development. One man who works nearby says that he is looking forward to a new stadium here. It is a good idea. Because you have the freeway here and bart over there. Close to downtown. The way theyre trying to build up downtown with the condos, people can ride their bike, walk and all that stuff. As far as location, i think it is a good spot. Reporter now, here is some of what the as president wrote in the letter to the Peralta College chancellor. We envision a sports related hub in oakland with new playing fields and facilities for Community Use serving as an anchor project to entice additional redevelopment including significant commercial and residential uses. We should point out that nothing is set in stone just yet. This deal far from done. The as still need to continue their negotiation with the district here. But the as say that this is where they want their new home to be. Theyre hoping to work out the terms of a deal soon. Alex, i know the mayor of oakland was in favor of that Howard Terminal site. I just wonder if she will come out and give the green light for the site that the as want to build there by laney. Yeah. We certainly do wonder. I mean, obviously, you know, she was partial to that site. A lot of people liked the idea of a ballpark right there on the waterfront. I mean, obviously we would have been talking about spectacular views. But, you know, for other reasons, the as went with this site. Were hoping to be able to speak with the mayor here in the next hour or so. We understand that she may make hour self available at city hall. Were going to head over there and try to catch up with her and see what her thoughts are on this location here at Peralta College, right across from Laney College and see if she thinks this is the right place tore the as to be here longterm.

Ill tell you, gasia, a lot of attitudes seem to be doing better today even though some of the folks in the battered areas are getting a clearer look at their homes and businesses. Residents of the hardest hit area, the florida keys, returning home or what is left of their homes. A quarter of the houses were destroyed by irma and nearly every home on the keys sustained some sort of damage. We had some leaks coming in weird places on the second floor.

These trailers were barely touched. While rvs a few feet away were obliterated by the winds. It literally lifted it up, took it over the tree, and set it down about 50 feet. Reporter many floridians remain in the dark. Basic necessities hard to come by like ac, water and gas. How long did you wait on that line . About an hour and a half. Wow. That is the first time that i found a station open around here. Reporter some struggling to get to the pump in time to fill up their cars. I am totally in the red. Yes. Yes. I dont know what to do now. Reporter and good news for folks in the area. As you can see, these pumps opening up.

You can see some of the partners that they pointed out to us right here said less than a block away from the Head Start Program. A i mentioned this is a former military base. So a lot of the military housing that was here decades ago they changed into transitional housing. They serve a lot of people in lower income, transitional housing, transitioning out of homelessness. People who may not necessarily be able to afford taking their kids somewhere else if they have to go to work or things of that nature. Having to shut down the day care practice many that serves about 50 kids is a Big Inconvenience for families. Certainly. Thank you, allie.
