Would inundate the citys rock springs neighborhood. This was never characterized as a 100year storm event. But in essence the flows that came out of anderson replicated a 100year event. Reporter Anderson Reservoir reached capacity sunday, sending water cascading over the spillway for the first time in more than a decade. The havoc it would create in communities miles and miles downstream seemed to catch emergency officials flatfooted. We werent expecting to have issues at rock springs for many, many hours and we certainly werent expecting rock springs to be the first place we had issues. Reporter thats despite the fact the low lying neighborhood has flooded several times in the past. Emergency managers say they simply dont know why the flood system failed and believe the creek should have been able to handle the rain and the water being released from the reservoir and as the flood waters recede, frustration is rising amongst neighbors who say given adequate warning they could have done a much better job of protecting their homes and themselves. Creek had been cleared of debris and this kind of stuff would not happen again. Certainly i wasnt expecting that it would happen and be worse than what happened 20 years ago. City officials have vowed to investigate why the flood system failed in this area. One theory is that the creek was so clogged with debris that it failed before anyone anticipated. In san joses rock springs neighborhood, devin fehely, kpix 5. Last night coyote creek peaked at a height of 13. 6 feet near edenvale. Since then flood levels have dropped to 9. 5 feet. Last time the creek crested was in 1922 at 12. 8 feet. As i mentioned, other parts of san jose also having a tough time drying out this evening. Check out old oakland road. Its also now a victim of coyote creek. Half the lanes are flooded out and closed near highway 101. You can see the other side, its slow going. Drivers passing through minor ponding on that side of the road. Its unclear how long the closure is going to last. Kpix 5 len ramirez shows us. One thing a lot of the damaged homes have in common is they are along coyote creek. It raised the water level so much that some of the low lying levels, rock springs where were at right now, as well as a little bit north in san jose had devastating flooding. In fact the water there has yet to recede. Reporter along south 17th street east of downtown san jose, it might be days before the water recedes enough to let these homes along coyote creek dry out. One day after the flood, water remained at windowsill level. We pulled it back, tied it up. Reporter shes talking about the hot tub that almost floated away. Its a well to do neighborhood thats flooded before, but longtime neighbors say this is even worse than the last time it flooded 20 years ago. In 97 the water level came up to the deck area. It did not make it in to the basement. This year we had not only the basement flooded but 4 to 5 feet of water in the basement. Reporter the rock springs neighborhood is also along coyote creek but in a much different socioeconomic area. He walked to his flooded apartment wearing home made trash bag booties. He doesnt want the filth to ruin it. So i dont get my shoes dirty because then id have to throw them away. Cant afford to throw them away right now. Reporter he wore them as he entered his apartment for the First Time Since the flood. Heres why. The first floor is covered by a thick film of mud, furniture, electronics, Kitchen Appliances all ruined. You cant come back to your own house. Its a big loss. Reporter throughout the neighborhood its flooded cars, some swamped in midstreet as they tried to drive away and flooded homes. Most of the apartment buildings are spray painted with an x on the wall or garage meaning the city deemed it unsafe to occupy. We didnt get any warnings so they kind of just let the water out and this happens so if they would have gave us a warning or something. Reporter neighbors began cleaning up and salvaging what they could. But not all homes in the flooded area are red tagged. Lorraine ortegas apartment had just a couple inches of water inside. Shell lose some carpeting but thats about it. I had to stay at a motel last night. Im just coming home right now. It was very scary. Were back to our live shot here in the rock springs neighborhood. You can see from our picture there that the water level has come down quite a bit. The silt level on those windows is a graphic demonstration of how far its come down in the last couple hours but it still has a long way to go before there is the residue of this flood is cleaned up. Its going to be months and months before the neighbors out here can get their lives back to normal. Reporting live in san jose, len ramirez, kpix 5. The flooding caused a traffic nightmare. Water spilled in a lane that forced closure of all lanes just before 5 a. M. Crews would typically pump it in to coyote creek but that wasnt an option. They spent hours rerouting traffic and waiting for the water to recede. Kit do continues our coverage from a neighborhood still underwater as well. Were live here on 17th street just south of santa clara street. Been here about three hours and weve seen the water drop about a foot and a half to two feet in that time. The temperature has also dropped very sharply. Even though the city has lifted a lot of the mandatory evacuations, a lot of the folks are coming home to no power, no gas, and just wet, miserable muddy conditions. Reporter never mind the Evacuation Order. This man cant even be bothered with shoes. He walked through the toxic flood waters barefoot to retrieve personal belongings and a cup of noodles from his home. No, he said. The waters only came up to the edge of my house and did not damage the inside. Were in san joses northern most flood zone. At the south bay mobile home park, one of three mobile home parks right next to each other along oakland road. All are under a mandatory Evacuation Order but that didnt stop raymond and his mom who bought matching galoshes to trej through the floodwaters. Why did you feel the need to come home . We needed to get clothes. Reporter the water is about waist deep but since theyre all elevated, most were not damaged inside. That has allowed some people to come and go and even stay in their homes, including this woman who didnt want to appear on camera. Genevieve said its been an exhausting two days watching the floodwaters. Im tired. I am. And i know the people are tired and they want to come home. Reporter in downtown san jose near 15th and Williams Streets, the creek has dropped down several feet. Homeowners are finally able to get back home and assess the damage. Rick holdens home is flooded on the lower level. Theres no power, no hot water, and it smells terrible. A hazmat contractor is on the way. Rick feels bad for a lot of victims who arent as fortunate. We wished it didnt happen but you have to deal with it and well be fine. We were healthy and able to stay some place last night. We have insurance and it will all get replaced or rebuilt. So the city is only keeping open the Evacuation Centers at James High School and evergreen high school. Theyre shutting down all the other locations which means school is back on in mckinley tomorrow. Kiet do, kpix 5. The city has set up a fund to help flood victims tonight. More than 100,000 has come in through donations. In addition, lyft has been offering free rides. The earthquake soccer team has a fundraising page.

He was hit by a bus used to transport inmates and it was being driven by another deputy. Happened early this morning in the transportation yard at the santa rita jail. Melissa is live at the jail. This morning at 6 a. M. Here at the santa rita jail, it was dark. The ground was black and wet from all the rain weve been having. One sheriffs deputy was wearing navy blue clothing as he crossed a parking lot to go in and start work. All this added up to a terrible tragedy. Reporter red eyed sheriffs deputies filled the emergency room today at the john muir hospital in walnut creek. Its tragic. Terrible. Reporter Deputy Mike Foley worked in the transport department at the santa rita prison in dublin. Alameda county sheriff greg ahern explained what happened around 6 a. M. Today that left one of their own in Critical Condition. One of our transportation buses was proceeding off for the first morning run and struck one of our deputy sheriffs who was a pedestrian walking through the parking lot. Reporter there were no inmates on the bus at the time of the accident. The driver and one other deputy were headed to pick up lunches for the inmate theyd later transport. Deputy foley was on his way to work when he was struck by the bus and suffered a head trauma. He was initially able to talk but then lost consciousness and hasnt regained it. The doctors are doing everything they can. He still remains in Critical Condition at this time. Reporter foley worked for the Contra Costa Police Department for 30 years before joining the alameda Sheriffs Department in 2007. At about 60 years old, hes one of the oldest deputies. He sets the examples for our younger deputies to follow. They look up to him on a regular basis, go to him for guidance, and hes just very highly respected. Reporter for now, his condition critical, deputy foleys loved ones wait and pray. The family right now is just hoping for prayers and best wishes. The california Highway Patrol is going to investigate the incident using their stateoftheart technology and we hear that the driver of the bus has been put on leave although the sheriff says the leave isnt as punishment. Its because the driver is so very traumatized. Live at the santa rita jail in dublin, melissa caen, kpix 5. The flooding in san jose a wakeup call for the entire bay area. We look at the areas most at risk for a mega flood. And the concern california isnt ready to handle the devastation. An epic snow day in the sierra. Live report on the avalanche danger that comes with all that new powder. New at six. Weve learned the devestating floods in san jose should have come, a report t new at 6 00, weve learned the devastating floods in san jose should have come at no surprise. Our report two years ago identified the areas at risk for devastating floods. Phil matier says it got little attention. Hes live tonight at crissy field to explain why. A lot of this has to do with timing. Two years ago when the report first came out, we were in the middle of a drought. Just goes to show how quickly things can change and not always for the better. Lets take a look. Reporter think of it as a rain quake. A river of storms hitting Northern California and unleashing biblical floods across the state. It happened in 1861 and it could happen again. It lasted for 40 days and it dumped the volume metric equivalent of 16 mississippi rivers over Northern California. It turned the Central Valley in to an inland sea 3,000 miles long. The amount of devastation that would cause today is almost unimaginable. Reporter according to a 2015 Bay Area Council report, some are already flooding. Without a rain quake. It shows where the regions lakes, reservoirs, channels, and levees and youll see theres a heavy concentration in the south bay. Thats where were seeing a lot of the flooding from the most recent storm. Reporter marin, santa clara have the most risk. Theres a lot of low lying areas. A lot of areas of Santa Clara County including Silicon Valley have sunk about 15 feet below sea level because of past water pumping. Reporter the bay Area ConservationDevelopment Commission has been looking at the added threat of rising bay tides brought on by climate change. Theyre already affecting flooding in areas like along highway 37 in the north bay or highway 101 through southern marin county and at the International Airport in oakland. It has flooding from both the commercial runway and the area over doolittle drive. Reporter across the bay in San Francisco international has current and future flooding. Reporter the eastern approaches to the bay, san mateo and dun barton bridges are also seeing flooding. Are we prepared for these ongoing storms . No. Its really going to test californias water infrastructure. Most of our dams are about 75 years old. Our major Water Systems are about 75 years old. Weve got a growing population. And theres a lot of deferred maintenance. Here in the bay area were starting to try to tackle that deferred maintenance. One of the things is San Francisco is going to be pitching in about 350 million in whats likely to be a billiondollar rebuild of the seawall along the water front. And the entire bay area is pitching in about 12 a year in parcel tax to restore the wetlands in the south end of the bay as a way of also controlling the rising tides and the rain thats coming down in the floods. Whether its going to be in time for the next big one, thats the big gamble were facing. In San Francisco at crissy field, phil matier, kpix 5. Skiers are certainly reaping rewards of the storms up in the sierra. Its the good news. But theres a risk for snow slides. Avalanche control experts, theyve now been called in. Kpix 5 reporter Juliette Goodrich live in the sierra with that story for us tonight. Theres a lot of snow up here. Thats why theres reason for concern. If you saw my live shot an hour ago, i was standing in the sun. Ski resort was about to close, all the people going home. Then wham, the snow just started coming down. Thats the concern. It just happened so quick, so fast, and there are concerns up on that mountain. Reporter there is so much snow in the sierra, its already surpassed last year. So much that this deer had to dig through snow just to find his skis after last nights storm. While getting to the resort may be challenging with the road work being done to repair a stretch of highway 50 that buckled, the payoff was worth it to the bachmanns who drove up from rain soaked petaluma. We caught some blue sky today. Going to be a wonderful day of skiing. Reporter skiers are coming from all over to experience it like gene from brooklyn. Crazy how much snow they have here. Unbelievable. Ive been coming here for 20 years. Ive never seen anything like this. What a difference a day makes. Yesterday a lot of the resorts were closed. Today its a skiers paradise. Steven hemphill is with sierra at tahoe resort and says all of this snow means extra avalanche precautions. Ski patrols up here extremely early in the morning, running what we call avalanche routes to make sure the mountain is safe and ready for opening by setting off explosives, doing things called ski cutting. What ski cutting does is it actually will set off an avalanche where in an area where it might go off pretty regularly. [ indiscernible ] did you hear that boom . Thats avalanche control. Oh, yeah. Reporter with all those precautions in place, skiers could have quite a season this year. Theres resorts around the lake that are already staying in to july 4th. So lets give you a little comparison. 201516 ski season had 445 inches of snow. At this point right now in the season were at 453 inches so weve completely surpassed last year. Now theyre gunning for the record they had in 201011, which happened to be 763 inches. I asked the ski resort, do you think were going to make it . They thought, you know, with the way were going now, it looks like it and we could be going in to july 4th. Were headed back down the hill in to the bay area. Well see you soon. In the sierra, Juliette Goodrich, kpix 5. Stay warm out there, juliette. It is crazy how much snow. They may get that record from about six years ago. Just tons of snow in the sierra. Not completely dry around here. Kpix 5 hidef doppler showing a few showers in the peninsula along highway 101 south of san mateo, down toward redwood city and palo alto a few showers. That orange around los gatos, 2800 feet. May see a few snow showers this evening in our highest elevations. Most of the bay area is dry. We had some sunshine today but a lot of rain so far this january and february. Weve added it together, 16. 77 inches of rainfall in San Francisco. Thats the second wettest beginning to a year. Got to go back to 1916. The only wetter year was the el nino year of 1998 where we had 10 inches more than we have now. Have to add literally a foot of rainfall. Thats what we did in 199798. 58 for fremont. Half moon bay, the beach, the warm spot. 59 degrees. 3 degrees below average. We still have low pressure. Its moving away and replacing it for a couple days will be a weak ridge of High Pressure but strong enough. No rain tomorrow. Strong enough, no rain on friday. Even the beginning of saturday will likely start off dry. With those few evening showers, look at the lows. Going to be cold out there. Kids heading to the bus stop tomorrow walking to school, 33 for livermore. 34 for concord. Vallejo, 37. Tomorrow lots of sunshine. Enjoy it. Dry tomorrow, thursday, and friday. Both days will be mainly dry. But not that warm. Even cooler than today but not as windy. Fremont, 54. San jose, 56 degrees. Rain does return for the weekend but that may be the final rain chance for the month or a while. Were driving the next two days. Scattered showers both saturday and sunday. Washout, no. Flooding, likely not. Just some rain. On saturday and sunday. Dennis is complaining about the timing. It is what it is. Next week when youre back to work, dennis, monday, tuesday, wednesday, well be mainly dry. Thats your forecast. A stunning discovery in space. New worlds outside our solar system. The cluster of planets that could be suitable for life. The planets might be aligning for a new 49ers quarterback. Thats right. Is that man coming to a stadium near you . Free age,,,,,,, of the Lynch Shanahan era. [pause] former browns cornerback ams has agreed to the 49ers have made their first free agent signing of the lynchshanahan era. Williams has agreed to a oneyear deal. He sat out last season with an ankle injury. Meanwhile the search continues for a quarterback. Got to see whats out there. And everyone has different things. You rarely get the full package. If you find a guy who has the full package, then you do whatever it takes to get that guy and you dont think twice about it. Could kirk cousins be that guy . The nfl network is reporting the 49ers are interested in trading for the redskins quarterback who has been unable to work out a long term deal in washington. Shanahan coached cousins in 2013. Now despite putting his house on the market for 2. 9 million, dont count out colin kaepernick. He and Kyle Shanahan met with the capper at the teams facility earlier today. We had a great discussion. I think colin left excited. We left excited. The evaluation process is still very much fluid. I can tell you we both very much enjoy being around colin and he seems like hes in a real good place. Demarcus cousins will make his pelicans debut tomorrow night. While theyre jacked to have boogie in the big easy, theres one potential drawback. Cousins will be suspended the next time he gets a technical foul. Just how competitive are you . How much does that go in to everything that you do . Weve already talked about that.

Can you feel it . Right around the corner. Coming up in our next half hour, san jose homeowners say theyve never seen flooding like this and now theyre wondering whos going to pay for all the repairs. Whats covered when it comes to Flood Insurance. A rocky road to school. Wait till you see what some parents have to deal with just to drop their children off. ,, home tonight. Flood wate our top story at 6 30, some evacuees in san jose have been given the all clear to head back home tonight. Flood waters are starting to recede in many places but some mandatory evacuations are still in place. Those in the Williams Street neighborhood in fact. There are areas where the water is not draining naturally so crews will have to pump it out. This evening we expect temperatures to drop. It will be a new challenge for us from a weather perspective. We will provide information on Warming Centers as theyre opened up through this cold snap that were going to experience before the next rains come over the weekend. Evacuation shelters will remain open tonight at james lake and evergreen high schools. Many in the flood zone are now wondering how theyre going to pay for all that damage. Kpix 5 julie watts on whether Flood Insurance will come to the rescue. Flood damage like this generally considering an act of god. This is what Flood Insurance is for because typical Homeowners Insurance wont cover this kind of damage. In order for Flood Insurance to protect you, you have to have purchased a policy. Never been this bad. Reporter while steves home narrowly escaped the flood, he said hes still overwhelmed with regret. Im thinking that may have been the worst decision you made in your whole life was to not get the Flood Insurance. Reporter hes lived here for 18 years and for most of them had to have Flood Insurance. Homeowners in a high risk flood zone, most mortgages are required to purchase Flood Insurance. He recently paid off his loan and owns his home outright. When it came time to decide on Flood Insurance this year decided you know what . I dont think i need it. Reporter hes not alone. I dont have Flood Insurance but i do have insurance. I have insurance. But only for the fire. But not for the flood. Reporter unfortunately a traditional policy wont cover this. The average residential flood claim, 43,000. The average Flood Insurance premium, around 700 a year. While much of the affected area in san jose is a designated high risk flood zone, many of the 14,000 evacuated do not have a mortgage so Flood Insurance would not be required and renters are not covered under their landlords policies. Its not going to replace your home. Reporter when is why commissioner dave jones urges anyone near a waterway to get Flood Insurance even if its not required. They may be outside of the mapped flood zone. The water is going to go where the water goes. Reporter according to fema, 20 of all National Insurance claims come from moderate areas. The season isnt over yet. Im going to call my insurance guy and say is it too late . Can i buy it now . You can purchase Flood Insurance any time you get it through an authorized agent or broker but there is a 30day waiting period before the policy kicks in. So if steve or anyone else would purchase a policy today, it likely wouldnt kick in before the next big storm is forecast. In san jose, julie watts, kpix 5. Dozens of horses still stranded by the flood waters and rescuers cant get them out. This was how it looked yesterday. The animals belly deep in muddy water. We checked back today and found the water had receded quite a bit but the horses are Still Standing in thick muck and trailers cant get in to remove them. We did spot a pickup truck loaded with bails of hay to make sure theyre being fed. And it wasnt just flooding. A dog had to be rescued from the side of a cliff today in San Francisco. It somehow got stranded on the cliff around lunchtime. Officers with the golden gate natural reclamation brought the scared pooch to the top and back to its owner. A close call this afternoon in San Francisco. A 100foot tree came crashing down on a home in the west portal neighborhood.

And a dangerous situation on scenic highway 1 in big sur, the underbelly of the Pfeiffer Canyon bridge thats cracking because of the brutal storms this winter. Its been closed since february 15th. Caltrans is now warning people not to get within 100 feet of the bridge on either side of it. Officials say its beyond repair and it could take months to build a new one. This afternoon a stray thunderstorm dumped a layer of hail on the town of windsor. It was so thick it looked like snow. While it wasnt sticky enough to make snowmen, these kids had fun sliding in it at windsor middle school. Napa Police Posted video on facebook of this patrol car getting pounded by rain and hail. Theyre asking people to be careful out there on the roads. Streets in vallejo have taken a beating from the storms. Many are riddled with potholes on rainier avenue. Potholes are so bad, parents are having trouble picking up and dropping off their kids at school. Jessica flores shows us theyre going to take it up with the city. Reporter driving around in vallejo, youll hear two things. Animals from the neighboring farm and this. The thud of your vehicle bouncing all over the potholes. Maria silva picks up her daughter from school on rainier avenue but the other side of the school, olympic avenue, is a mess too. She says the potholes are growing bigger and bigger every day over the last year and with the recent rain, its only gotten worse. Once you hit the corner, theres only like one little piece that has no holes. Reporter parents are becoming experts at navigating around the dozens of holes that litter the roadway. You have to drive slowly so that you wont be falling in the hole. I can hear the shocks, its like bumping a lot. They need to fix it like really soon. Reporter but the city says the road doesnt belong to them. It belongs to the school district. We put in calls to Vallejo City Unified School district. We havent heard back. Maria says the roads havent damaged her car here yet. Still, she worries shell be paying the price down the road. In vallejo, jessica flores, kpix 5. The district says at its upcoming march 14th meeting they hope to approve a contract to repair that road. Caltrans says its going to reopen all lanes of highway 37 in novato in time for the morning commute. It has been closed for flooding then repair work.

Potential lawsuit is in the works this evening against the bay area air Quality Management district. Two workers claim they were pressured to destroy documents that show emissions violations at bay area oil refineries. They also claim they were told to get rid of some complaints from the public. The two whistle blowers say they refuse to throw any records away and both reported the request to their superiors. Less than one month later without notice i was terminated on a friday morning. Ive worked with these people for 16 years. Its really hard to think that this type of stuff is happening. The workers say they saw reports on chevron, shell, and Pacific Steel casting company all thrown in to a dumpster. In response the air district released a statement saying the allegations are false.

Stunning space discovery revealed by nasa today. Seven earthlike planets are orbiting a starlight years away. Kpix 5s john ramos tells us what makes these planets so captivating. Reporter at its press conference today, nasa rocked a lot of peoples worlds. Useding the spitzer space telescope, astronomers have identified seven earth sized planets orbiting a star called trappist 1. Three of the planets have conditions that would allow liquid water to exist. It gives us a hint that finding a second earth is not just a matter of if but when. Reporter trappist 1 is considered a red dwarf star, onetwelfth the size of the sun and much cooler. Dr. Paul calas of uc berkeley says the planets orbits take just 24 hours. For the innermost planet, by the time you wake up tomorrow, its already gone around its star and finished its year. Reporter and at a distance of only 39 light years from earth, the trappist system is considered in our Solar Systems backyard. Thats good news to the scientists at cals research center. Their breakthrough listen project is using radio telescopes to search for transmissions from other intelligent life forms. Are there other beings like us that think about the universe in the way we do that have technological capacity like we do perhaps around other stars, perhaps around trappist 1 . Reporter the biggest question for astronomers has also been, are we alone . But the discovery of water capable planets so close to us leaves open the possibility that our galaxy could be teeming with earths, supporting some kind of life. We dont know what that likelihood is but of course the discovery of life beyond the earth would be i think the most monumental discovery in the history of science. Reporter at uc berkeley, john ramos, kpix 5. Wow. Thats exciting. Were not alone. Paul is here. Talking about moving the seasons quicker, can we get to spring like tomorrow . Can we somehow speed things up around here . This winter has gone on forever. Speaking of winter, heres a little bit of light snow falling in the Santa Cruz Mountains right now.
