Into action. They tried desperately to pry the door open. The door wasnt going to be able to open. Thats when he took out a pickax from his work truck. You could hear the window implode inside. We just started grabbing everything i could. I guess one of the things i grabbed was him. It happened so fast. The man in his 20s had only minor injuries. It was all going so fast, he was dazed. He was just happy to get out of the car. The two men who saved him say theyre thankful they were able to help. Its fortunate we were here, here to get a little help. Just glad hes okay. Slow down. If you think youre in control, put your phones away, dont text. Thats something the chp can agree with, we dont know if the driver was texting or going too fast. What is certain is hes one lucky young man. Reporting live in dublin, jodi hernandez, nbc bay area news. Should serve as a lesson to all of us. A major freeway that runs through the east bay. A couple lanes on westbound 580 are going to stay closed until 10 00 tonight. The whole is so big, you can see the rebar showing. East of greenville road in livermore. More than a dozen cars were damaged before crews could finally respond. This road wont be fully reopened until 10 00 p. M. This evening. A live look in san jose, rain today, but nothing like what were expecting tomorrow. Jeff ranieri is tracking this storm. We think as we head throughout tomorrow morning, it will start to move into parts of the north bay. As we saw in that earlier story a lot of the creeks, rivers and streams are running so fast on top of that. Even with a light to moderate rain, you can still hydroplane. Stay at the speed limit or a little below. Nothing in terms of heavy rainfall. New Flash Flood Watch is issued in advance for the area through friday. We could see rivers and creeks rise very fast. Mudslides and rock slides are possible. The most immediate threat is along the Russian River. Flood warning continues here as well until friday at 8 00 a. M. We expect the newest crest i have the time line on the storm system. A new update at 6 00 tonight. The phone line was down, but the wifi was still active, that was the lifeline for a woman, she used Facebook Live to communicate with her friends and family after this mudslide destroyed a home. Nbc bay areas Michelle Roberts joins us now from los gatos. How did this all unfold. Thousands of pounds of mud and debris came rushing toward the house. Theyve been cleaning up now theyre worried this other storm could put them in jeopardy again. Those two cars were jammed up against trees. Dave describes his property in the Santa Cruz Mountains as a mess. There was a laundry room alongside it, it ripped it off. Hes trying to create a path for the water to flow past his home and into the creek. Admits hes shaken up. Sounded like a jet plane landing on the report. I jumped out and heard somebody yell. His pregnant daughter was inside this mobil home when the mud picked it up and pushed it downhill about eight feet moments later jennifer ray, who also lives on the property, went live on facebook to ask for help. Im trying to get ahold of everybody, the lines are down. The satellites on the property werent damaged which allowed her to use wifi. Everyone is safe. The family was able to dig out one of the cars to drive down the mountain. Today dave is trying to clean up one pile at a time. This Christmas Ornament is sitting on top of piles of debris. Silt is 2 to 4 feet deep in some spots. Hes hoping the mountain above their property wont give way again. We have a link to their go fund me page on our website. Michelle roberts, nbc bay area news. What happens for this family and others after a mudslide. Are you covered by our Homeowners Insurance. At this hour, work crews are digging away at that massive mudslide in the Santa Cruz Mountains theyre using a special machine called the spider. Is there a more permanent plan in place other than digging every fixing every time we get a storm . Its kind of what they have to do. The seemingly endless mudslides have made it an agonizing year for commuters. Right now, crews with lights and the spider are working on this slide behind me. Even more ambitious plans are needed to end the nightmare once and for all. Caltrans brought in the spider from san luis obispo. It stays stable as it digs and moves up hill like a spider, crucial on a top heavy slide. Kind of like digging a hole in the sand. This machinery allows us to get to the top. A mudslide last month on this exact section that tied up traffic the same way. Im a nurse, so i have to get to work. Its been a big problem this year, and then our backroad, which is the summit is also has mudslides. Theres so many frustrated commuters. Is there a Long Term Plan in trying to stabilize these sections . There is, and were looking at that now. Long Term Solution could be putting up a larger rock catch system. The other solutions would be to get in here and lay the slope back. The focus is on keeping drivers moving in single lanes, northbound and southbound. That would be through the weekend as long as this next storm doesnt bring anything unexpected. Its kind of fun, you could still get through. It may take a little while, but its all right. As long as you plan it right. Many drivers we talked to were relieved to have single lanes open. As for those Long Term Plans, depends on a lot of factors, including state funding and how long they can afford to keep highway 17 closed while they do the work. Live in the Santa Cruz Mountains, robert honda, nbc bay area news. At this point i think we can expect the unexpected. Lets show you marin county, raging waters rushing down.

The controversial travel ban issued by donald trump may be reinstated by the ninth Circuit Court. President trump has personally questioned the judges even though no ruling has been given. There are fears and considerations. Scammers are trying to get money out of people by threatening deportation. New at 6 00 nbc bay areas zamian trujillo is at the office with this new scam. Theres been an uptick in claims of deportation scams in san jose. Both the das office and the Mexican Consulate tell me they are investigating. More and more people have been filing into the Mexican Consulate in san jose. Someone will be claiming to call from the same consulate, for a few thousand dollars, the consulate can get them off that list. From time to time, we give some advice to people, dont buy those lies. This and other similar deportation trickery has them trying to ease rattled nerves since the november election. The District Attorneys Office says some people have paid the scammers by wiring money or releasing their debit card numbers. Weve been seeing an uptick in these telephone scams where theyre calling from the consulate or claiming to be calling from ice themselves, the d. A. s office says when the u. S. Government agency is demanding payment, they do it via mail and never ask for a debit card number or money to be wired. They tell people to ask for a name and call back number to make it easier to catch the crooks. The Mexican Consulate says they got a phone call from a bank in santa cruz last week, asking if they were requesting this transaction from a scammed customer. The consulate said no. And the customer was not victimized. Live in san jose, damian trujillo, nbc bay area news. Neighbors and Community Agencies keeping an eye on a hillside after a mudslide knocked out a home. Coming up, that story, plus an outpouring of support for those who lived in the home. Keeping a close eye on our new storm system set to arrive by 6 30 in the morning, across the north bay, well have a look at the time line coming up in about seven minutes. Still hard to beleive this mass. It is hard to believe that this mass of wood and mud used to be someones house the home was ripped apart by a mudslide. Christie smith was there with the tremendous outpouring. Strangers and neighbors are stepping up to help them. What theyre saying is friends and neighbors, folks they didnt even know, have been stepping up to help. Some of those neighbors also coming by to take a look at this and keep an eye on the hill behind the home and the trees they say, is a marker of where things stood before the storm. Of course they know, more rain is on the way. The tremendous outpouring of support and love has just been awesome. John future stands by bags dropped off at his sisters house, where hes staying after a mudslide knocked over his home in san rafael. Things we havent thought of, you know, you kind of youre thinking of whats in there, we ran out with our what we had on our what we were wearing.

Public works crews say its private property, but today tried to divert water away with more rain coming. Pretty tough to deal with mother nate. Hes seen his share of erosion and swollen waterways in the north bay. Too much water. The ground cant take it. Back on mountain vilville i was more roried about vegetation as opposed to it ever coming down. Public works will continue to monitor the hillside. A lot of questions as we see all this weather. Mud and money among them. Who pays for your house if its hit by a mudslide . Chances are youre out of luck. The big answer here is, possibly, i wish i had a better answer. What kind of insurance a homeowner has, and was it a mudslide or something else. We checked with fema and the Insurance Industry today, they made it clear, your every day Homeowners Insurance does not cover damage caused by that. Other insurance might pay, like government backed Flood Insurance or private coverage called difference in conditions. A difference in conditions policy is rare. Today we learned that terminology here is key. Was this mess a mud flow, mudslide or a landslide. We consider those words interchangeable. Insurance adjusters do not. The Insurance Information institute says mud flows are covered. Were not sure who makes that determination. Very few homeowners actually buy Flood Insurance. Of the nearly 7 million homes in california, only 290,000 currently carry a federal flood policy. Its possible that emergency federal aide could be approved for the uninsured. There is absolutely no guarantee there. If youre concerned, whether your home is protected. We recommend talking with an Insurance Agent asap. The state waterboard has decided to keep the drought emergency in effect. Many water agencies have been pushing for the restrictions to end. The restrictions are hurting their bottom line. They also argue californians shouldnt be tricked. Frankly in this political era of fake news. Im concerned that the state of california is going to be looked upon as giving fake news to many people thinking that theres still a drought, when its evaporated away. Some lawmakers encounter restrictions and continue to develop water habits. The drought emergency is expected to remain in effect throughout this rainy season. Our drought is over here in the bay area, these restrictions still apply. Its going to be a touchy subject as we head through the next couple months.

Well keep the rain in the forecast all the way from 4 00 and 5 00. 11 00 p. M. Thursday, we start to see things dry out. How does the extended forecast look . I do think well see the chance here is some rainfall on friday. Possibly an early shower here on saturday morning. Dry into the afternoon, and also looking at sunny weather as we head all the way into next wednesday. What about beyond this . I know some of you do not want to hear about more rainfall coming out way. It is part of my job to look out in that long range.

New revelations tonight about what the city of oakland new before that deadly warehouse fire in december. The city released hundreds of pages of records and photos today. In response to media requests filed weeks ago. Vicky, youve been digging through the stacks of documents, what did you find . A lot of pictures. Police were called out to the ghost ship warehouse nearly two years before the fatal fire. In march of 2015, someone flappinged down opd officers and complained about an illegal raid with drug and alcohol sales. Days later, another call to police, this time, about a man who kicked in the door and came into the warehouse with a knife or box cutter trying to steal things. Police also responded to a report about illegal shared housing. In december of 2014, a tenant called 911 to report the landlord punched him in the head for being short on rent. He told police he might be murdered if both parties stayed under one roof. This one on international boulevard, the space altered as you can see, toilets, sinks, bedrooms, none of it permitted. Bottles of alcohol, this warehouse was used as an illegal living space. Angs attorneys did not respond to our request for comments. All this adding to the mounting criticism that the city knew about the ghost ship and other warehouses, did not take meaningful action until after 36 people were killed. Our Investigative Unit has been covering the fallout from this warehouse fire for several weeks. Since it happened in december, to watch all of our reports, head to our website, nbcbayarea. Com. Warriors superstar steph curry rarely talks about politics publicly. That changed today. In an interview with the bay area news group. Curry was asked if he thinks President Trump is an asset.

Another member of President Trumps cabinet has been confirmed tonight. Jeff sessions will be sworn in tomorrow as attorney general. The vote was 5247. It came at a cost to the gop. When Elizabeth Warren was silenced and removed from the senate floor using an arcane rule. It gave democrats a new rallying cry. Warren tried to read a 30yearold letter from Coretta Scott king. She criticized sessions years ago, for impeding Voting Rights among africanamericans, she was told to stop reading the letter and told she could not participate any more. However, later on, male senators were not kept from reading that very same letter. No decision yet from the ninth circuit can court of appeals. President donald interrupt took issue with the court today. He had harsh words, the court is considering whether mr. Trumps temporary travel ban is unconstitutional. It temporarily bans citizens from seven predominantly muslim countries from entering the u. S. The ninth Circuit Court is deciding whether to keep the temporary ban in place. I dont ever want to call a court biassed, i wont call it biassed, we havent had a decision yet. But courts seem to be so political. The court promises a decision before the weekend, and today it said it will give a 60 to 90 minute warning before the decision is made public.
