Potential for flooding. Katie. Thank you, lisa. Flood warnings are in effect for Sonoma County as the water levels in several rivers and creeks continue to rise. We are live in petaluma where willowbrook creek is a good example. K. He ra. Katie, two days ago willowbrook creek was completely empty. Yesterday it filled almost to its limit. Its happening all over Sonoma County. Rivers and creeks filling either to their limits or unfortunately in some cases over their limits. One man tells us he watched the banks of the Russian River rise to 17 feet yesterday. He was packing his belongings. This morning hes planning to head for higher ground. I think it will be up to here because the flood stage or the expectations at gurnville is 32 feet. Flood signs popped up across highways and low lying back roads. Some drivers ignored those warning signs, you can see, and tried to cross anyway with no luck. A windsor resident said he pulled three cars out of a flooded part of the road. The Russian River, meanwhile, is expected to reach its capacity, but not surpass that throughout this weekend. But residents weve spoken with say they are focused on tomorrow. Both their preparations and concerns for tomorrows storm. Reporting live in petaluma, abc7 news. And we see she has taken off her hood in the last halfhour so a break for folks in petaluma right now.

This is our first one of the year. Usually they dont hit until around january or february but this time it caught us a little early. This highway has been shut down. Plenty of drivers had to turn around and find alternate routes. Im going to find a little road that loops around. Im going to go to a friends bridal shower. Three teams are working on restoring power to the area. Meanwhile the rain continues to come in waves. And even with the power out, residents say it could be a whole lot worse. This town has had its warm storm. The worst time is when its cold and dreary, its cold and you cant warm up and we are around 60 degrees so its not too bad. Pg e crews hoped to have the power line repaired and highway 9 reopened by about 9 00 in the morning, but they have had to push that. Now they are hoping to have it open around 11 00 in the morning. In santa cruz county, abc7 news. Still several hours to go for them. The wet weather has created problems all over the bay. In San Francisco yesterday, take a look at this.

The attack occurred near the central resort on the south side of maui. Heres photos from the storms coming through. This is a tree that fell on a house. Thats unfortunate. This is a beautiful picture of a rainbow over the Golden Gate Bridge. Email your weather photos to us at ureport atkins kgotv. Com. Certainly there would be endless images out there of all the Different Things the storm has done to people and their property and the roads. Yeah. We see the tree branches down and rises on the rivers, but its the next system that really could bring in the potential for some situations to pretty rough with some flood pick and gusty winds.

The dumbarton bridge and also the san mateo bridge. You can see 92, wet weather there through 280 and the Santa Cruz Mountains from ben loamen down to morgan hill. We are getting into the little break this afternoon but the National WeatherService Since yesterday has issued a Flash Flood Watch through tomorrow evening for several inches of rain for the north bay smaller streams may overtop their banks, the peninsula, San Francisco and some of the storm drains will be overwhelmed in the Santa Cruz Mountains. We have the moist subtropical throw continuing. We have a trough and with so much moisture in the air we will ring out some showers from time to time this morning. 67 in redwood city. Fairfield, 67 for you. Breezy winds gust to 25 miles an hour from Half Moon Bay. Oakland 30 american gusts. Hayward up to 33 americans. Showers on and off throughout the day today.

This trough enhancing all that moisture, allowing for some of those showers from time to time. But its what is behind it that is slated to bring in pretty heavy rain. Winds up to 20 and 30 americans to the evening hours. Heres the timeline. You see the shower activity, 7 00 this morning. Then it really begins to taper off. Right on through 3 00, 4 00, 6 00 more showers. But its 11 00 its hung up in the sonoma area. But all through the night it sinks south. 1 00 tomorrow morning.

Peninsula inch and a half to three inches. 67 mild degrees in oakland with the on and off showers. 65 san jose with mid60s here. Right now its dry. So today should be a day where you can still kind of prepare, get out and do things tonight, tomorrow. The heavy rain and then its out of here for much of the day monday. A good deal of dry weather coming our way after this next system. But so far i think weve kind of dodged a bullet and this one will be the test. All right. Thank you, lisa.

After beating ucla six days ago the cardinals and bruins met last night with a trip to the rose bowl on the line and this was a knock down, dragout fight in the rain. Bad weather kept the crowd down, about half full. Stanford hammered the bruins last saturday, but this is a different game. Up 147. Huntley picked off by reynolds who has been so clutch this weekend. Has three pick sixes. This should have been four as he weaves his way down the field. The refs botch the call after 80yard return and spot him down at the 1 even though it should have been a touchdown. Next play, and taylor punches it in. He becomes stanfords alltime leading rusher. Tied it up at 14 a piece. To the third quarter. Jonathan franklin glides in. 20 yards for the score. He gashed the cardinals for 201 yards rushing, 2417 ucla Butch Stanford comes right back.

We havent been there a very long time, and to be a part of that is a great feeling. Ill definitely remember it the rest of my life. Fantastic win. Congratulations to san jose state, invited to play in the military bowl december 27th in washington d. C. They will face a team from the midamerican conference to be determined. The spartans won only one game when Mike Mcintyre arrived but in three years they are a tenwin team and they are going bowling. High school football. Central section championship, st. Ignatius and bellerman. Fourth and goal for the bells. They dont kick the field goal. Go for it and get stuffed so we head to overtime. The bells open o. T. With a field goal, but st. Ignatius would win it here. And the second rushing touchdown of the game. Dashing to the corner. St. Ignatius chaptures the ccs championship. 1310, the final in overtime. The giants may fear the beard in another uniform. Brian wilson is now a free agent. Giants did not offer him a contract by the 9 00 p. M. Deadline last night because they didnt want to be on the hook for a minimum of 6. 8 million for a guy who, we dont know if hes even going to be able to pitch. Its possible wilson could resign with San Francisco, structuring some sort of incentive deal with a lower salary, but sounds like he doesnt want to go with that. We will see what other offers he gets and where he goes from here. And finally in new york, nobody is safe the beloved yankee, derek jeter mocked in a photo and headlined at derek eater.

One man whose trailer sits right on the banks of the Russian River told abc7 news he watched the river rise 17 feet. Flood signs popped up across highways and low lying back roads. Some drivers ignored the warning signs and tried to cross anyway with no luck. We were coming from windsor. We were going to santa rosa to the mall and then we took the back roads up to santa rosa. Once we got like to the water, you could see the car, just like smoke started coming out and aaron tried to turn the car off and turn it back on. Didnt work. And then so we opened the doors and all the water just came in. Everybody thinks they can come through it, and they dont make it. They really dont. Time and again a windsor resident told he pulled three cars out of the flooded part of the road. And also flooding closed route 12 and highway 121. This morning i read a funny but true tweet, telling their followers to avoid that intersection unless you are driving a boat. Probably good words to live by for the next few days. Reporting live, abc7 news. Excellent advice. Thank you. The California Emergency Management Agency also has advice. As the storms come and go, its a good reminder to be ready for the rainy season or any type of natural hazard.

They are accused of providing lodging, communication and transportation in a conspiracy to use a weapon of mass destruction. And the fbi found residents the etched the younger brother had been monitoring recent fbi sting cases. Where they say infiltrating the conspiracy was a nonstarter.

Coming up next, the desperate times for millions of people in afghanistan. Its almost unimaginable how these people survive.

This is from our emeryville camera looking back across the bay at San Francisco. Its dreary out there. But as lisa argen is going to tell us, the worst is actually we were skipping stones and letting go over the river and down the road [ female announcer ] at Nature Valley, we know nature comes together in amazing ways. Thats why we bring together natural ingredients, like dark chocolate with toasted oats, or sweet golden honey. Perfect combinations of natures delicious ingredients, from Nature Valley. I was thinking that i hope this never ends [ female announcer ] Nature Valley granola bars, nature at its most delicious. The man who wrote the best selling book the kite runner, he lives in the bay area and hes asking for help for homeless afghanistan refugees. Hes encouraging people to learn about people who lived in a country much different than america but have the same hopes and dreams. Cheryl jennings has our story. You are looking at video of afghanistan where the author was born. These images are from the foundations website. He lives in san jose now and hes internationally known for his bestselling book set in afghanistan the kite runner and the thousand splendid sons. He spends his free time raising money to build shelters like this for homeless families in afghanistan and to provide Educational Opportunities and healthcare for women and children. The need is overwhelming after 30 years of war. A lot of times people are left homeless without jobs, without food, access to clean water, education, healthcare. Some resort to living underground to stay alive. There would be anywhere from 15 to 25 people essentially living in these holes that have one opening at the very top as a window and they were living there for two, three, three and a half months. Winter in afghanistan in many parts of the country is brutal. Freezing temperatures and routinely i would go to villages and see the elders complain about the sick and the elderly and the children that they were losing every winter due to the cold. This is one of the reason for building the shelters that cost 2,000 for a family of six or seven people. For a small amount of money it can be a life saving culture. Families get a prepackaged kit and build the shelter themselves. They are given the Raw Materials and given the window frames, the doors, the beams. So far this foundation has raised enough money to build nearly 400 shelters to house 2300 people. His wife is helping afghan women who remain in refugee camps in pakistan with to make jewelry through a nonprofit. All the income generated by the sale of these items is reinvested in the lives of those women in helping with food, jobs and medicine. The doctor is tapping into his young fan base to help in his mission. I have so many letters from High School Students saying that i would like to do something for afghanistan. I would like to do something for kids just like me in afghanistan. He designed a program called s. O. S. , student outreach for shelter. All these students are reading my books in their classroom, but theres a Service Learning component and a curriculum where students can partner with us and raise funds to build shelters for returning refugees in afghanistan. Im going to be fundraising and helping out with this organization in any way that i can. He attends the Harper School in san jose. Hes passionate about his new fundraising drive on campus to help homeless afghans. I feel its unfair to them because they have worked so hard to establish themselves and all of a sudden a war happens and they are pulled out. He said he is hoping a lot more young people want to get involved with his foundation and help homeless afghan families. When they do, it will be a real live history lesson. I hope that this really works and i hope that we can change peoples lives, and i hope that we have a big part in rebuilding afghanistan. Cheryl jennings, abc7 news.

Now we have a little trough that will bring the on and off rain showers throughout the day with the breezy winds. But there will be some breaks. Its westward we had the moisture plume that is directed right at the bay area with this area of low pressure and that will allow for the heavy downpours, several inches of rain. And by 7 00 tonight you notice we still this is this morning. We still have showers but we get the break in the afternoon. By 6 00, 7 00 this evening, theres the showers. Activity still well to the north by 11 00, but through 8 00 tomorrow morning and 10 00 the heaviest rain moves through the central bay. North bay clears out by 11. The rest of the day for the raiders game it shouldnt be too bad.

Prepaid services are offered from Companies Like track phones, Straight Talk and metro pcs. Big cell phone providers, verizon, tmobile and at t also offer prepaid plans. Prepaid plans are either payasyougo or have a monthly allocation of minutes. Some have unlimited plans. You may pay more up front for the phone but you can save in the long run. The phones offered with prepaid plans used to be just of the basics but some prepaid carriers now offer smartphones. Galaxy s3 is available from metro pcs and the iphone5 from cricket wireless, another prepaid company. But if you dont need the absolutely latest smartphone, Consumer Reports recommends Straight Talks prepaid plans available through walmart. Its interesting that people in our survey were actually happier with Straight Talk than with Contract Service from any of the major carriers. Straight talk has several plans, including 45 a month for unlimited talk, text and data. Thats half the price of verizons cheapest unlimited plan. Consumer reports said another money saving tip. When you are coming off a contract, if you have a phone you like, ask if you can transfer the phone to a pro paid prepaid plan with your Current Carrier or a new carrier. You can often get the same service you have been getting and pay a lot less. Im Michael Finney, seven on your side. We now know who will share half of the record power ball jackpot.
