Right now lets check out the roads with elizabeth. Thank you, lawrence. And chp says this accident in the Altamont Pass is cleared to the righthand shoulder. This is the one where the cars hit the bull that was in the roadway. Someone must have left their gate open because theres apparently another cow wandering in lanes on grant line near 205 and 580, but this accident that happened near Altamont Pass road is on the righthand shoulder. You may find some delays. We dont have sensors in that area. But obviously, some activity going on. All right. Heres a live look now in oakland. Westbound 24 at telegraph.

Some breaking news this morning. A san jose couple escaped from a burning home. It started around 2 a. M. On 17th and san fernando streets. You can see how charred the home is at this point. Firefighters believe the fire started on the porch or side yard. Happening now, crews are cleaning at a Central Valley foster farms planted shut down over a roach infestation. Anne makovec is following the story in the newsroom. Anne, feds say cockroaches have been crawling at the facility for months. Reporter it is a horrifying thought. And this is the same facility that had the salmonella outbreak last year. This time, the feds shut down the foster farms processing facility entirely. This Central Valley plant is one of californias biggest poultry processing facilities. The usda says they found egregious unsanitary conditions here, cockroaches at a hand washing sink, a production tub and on the slaughterhouse floor. It grosses me out. I mean, i eat chicken. Reporter operations are suspended until foster farms comes one a plan to eliminate the pests. The plant is in livingston, the same facility named in a salmonella outbreak last year that sickened 416 people in 23 states. People who live in the area with friends and family that work at foster farms are concerned about more than their dinner plans. Im pretty sure people are going to lose their jobs because they cant afford it, they are going to lose production. Reporter foster farms says it has, quote, temporarily stopped operations to allow for enhanced sanitizing to take place. After last years salmonella outbreak, the feds allowed the plant to stay open because they proved they could control contamination but now a four month long roach outbreak has shut it down. The whole infections and now this, its why bother . They are very popular plant. This is going to just destroy their image. Reporter now, the company says it has completed a pest treatment and now needs approval from the usda to re open. It says that none of their other facilities are affected, nor are any of its products. The effects of Public Opinion another matter entirely. Michelle . All right, foster farms says it has moved chicken production to some of its other facilities. A flu outbreak is developing in the bay area and hospitals are getting ready for a lot more patients. Kpix 5 reporter cate caugiran is in san jose. The outbreak, i understand, is so severe, triage tents have been set up at Regional Medical centers. Reporter yes, they have, frank. You can actually see it right behind me. And thats where doctors will be busy again helping those patients not so critically ill in those tents right there and hoping that they can send them home the same day. That is the intent. San jose Regional Medical center says this is just how bad its gotten. The influx of patients of being treated for flu symptoms forced the hospital to set up four hospital beds in these tents next to the e. R. So far, the hospital says its seen up to 70 more patients a day with flulike symptoms and added extra staff to deal with the spikes. This tent we plan to see patients of all ages who present with flulike symptoms. These are patients who we can hopefully see safely and quickly and discharge home. Well save the Emergency Department for patients who might be a little bit sicker and require hospital admission. Reporter today there have been five flurelated deaths across the bay area. Two in marin county. Neither received a flu vaccine. For those who havent gotten the shot, its not too late. Regional Medical Center tells us they plan to set up more tents here later this morning. We know that it will hold three times as many patients as the one behind me. Back to you in the studio. Cate, i know were right at the beginnin of the flu season. Is this normal for this time of year . Reporter the Medical Center says yes, they often see an increased amount of patients but whats surprising in this particular case is they have seen so many in just a short amount of time. So thats bringing a little bit of concern here. Okay, cate caugiran live for us in the south bay, thanks, cate.

Lets kick it over to liz find out whats going on. We have at least one bull in the roadway. They have been unable to locate the second bull. You dont hear about this every day. This is in the Altamont Pass. We have some country roads north of 580, Altamont Pass road and grant line road. It was a car versus cow and then apparently someone left their gate open because theres another cow walking in lanes on grant line near 205 and 580. Were continuing to watch it.

And this is what it looks like on the roads westbound 80 very quiet all the way down the eastshore freeway. That drive time is 18 minutes on westbound 80 from the carquinez bridge to the maze. That is your latest kcbs traffic. For your forecast, heres lawrence. All right, liz. We have a lot of clouds out all right, liz. We have a lot of clouds outside. No rain. The system just falling apart. Out the door we go right now, clouds continuing to move across our skies. But boy, our hidef Doppler Radar showing you things are very, very quiet. We are hoping to get just a couple of raindrops out of this, not a significant storm system. But this is falling apart as it runs right across the ridge of High Pressure. So here we go again a lot of clouds outside now, partial clearing into the afternoon with cool temperatures. Then another chance of showers and again its just a chance, as we head in toward this weekend. High pressure off the coastline rather flat ridge but just Strong Enough to bounce most of the energy to our north. So were going to keep things dry here. Further north likely to run into showers toward eureka, possibly into ukiah and up into redding. Otherwise, some partly cloudy skies around the state. All right, lets see if we can time this out a little bit. The cold front coming to us this morning bringing with it that slight chance of a couple of sprinkles. Then it sweeps by. Skies clear out this afternoon. Temperatures will stay cool. Highs only in the 50s right out toward the beaches.

Happening today, governor jerry brown will release his new budget plan a day earlier than he had planned. Thats because the budget was leaked online yesterday. The governor proposes spending 61. 6 billion on education next fiscal year up from 56. 8 billion. Transportation would see the biggest increase, 40 . Labor and Workforce Development would be cut by 10 . In our tight budget world, sometimes the first things cut provide the biggest benefits especially when it comes to teaching the arts in our california schools. But Sequoia Middle School in Pleasant Hill found a solution, the perfect mix of core classes and electives and we think thats pretty cool. At Sequoia Middle School in Pleasant Hill they book it like everyone else, but thanks to their unique block scheduling their 7th and 8th graders get to dabble in electives. [ music ] reporter unlike many schools sequoia is fostering arts like music, wood shop, art, 3d printing, and drama, too. And the students love it. So the kids instead of having seven periods in one day have eight periods over two days. And because of that, we have 27 more elective classes in our schools than anyone else in the district.

Developing at this hour, some big news down in san jose where the flu is sending a lot of people to the hospital this week. We have some live pictures here. This is Regional Medical center. They have set up a triage tent outside the emergency room to deal with the rush of patients with the flu and it plans to put up a bigger one later today. They are using the tents for people who come in with flu like symptoms. About 70 people show up to the hospital every day. Most of them have tested positive for h1n1. Using the tent keeps those patients away from those without the flu symptoms. The flu is blamed for at least five recent deaths here in the bay area. Another strain of the flu is blamed for one death up in canada. Officials say a canadian who returned from china last month has died from h5n1 avian influenza. They say its an isolated case. They are warning people who travel to china right now to avoid coming into contact with birds. Happening right now, a major cleaning is under way at a foster farms planted in the Central Valley. Thats after feds found cockroaches on the slaughterhouse floor. The livingston facility is closed this morning.

The polar vortex that blew over the northeast has frozen hell over literally. Hell, michigan, was left with mountains of snow as temperatures went down to 17 degrees below zero. People of hell even had to call a tow truck to get the plow out of the heap of snow. So hell froze over. Pigs may be flying outside. And what does it take to get some rain around the bay area . If that doesnt do it, what does . I dont know. We have another cold front headed our way now moving through. A lot of clouds in the skies but you know what . Boy, just cant squeeze out the raindrops. You can see most of that energy staying to the north. The system just kind of falling apart. Its running right over the top of the ridge of High Pressure. Thats the problem. Our hidef Doppler Radar is scanning the skies looking for rain. Unfortunately, we havent seen any just yet. We may see some drizzle, maybe a couple of light sprinkles this morning and that is it. Out over the bay right now, we have cloudy skies all around the bay area. We have some dense fog showing up in some of the interior valleys down to a quarter mile visibility in the napa valley right now. Then as we head toward the afternoon, the skies will begin to part. The temperatures going to be on the cool side. 50s at the coastline. Maybe some low 60s inside the bay. And also in the valleys. We want to head out to roberta gonzales. She is at the embarcadero looking for a couple of raindrops. Roberta. Reporter yes. I am here atop Telegraph Hill here. Im sorry, i was taken away for a moment here. I can actually hear a foghorn.

Lets call in futurecast. This is for saturday. If you take a look to the north we have an area of low pressure is that wants to breeze through the bay area over the weekend. If we see anything at all, it will be less than. 10 of rain in precipitation totals. Again thats on saturday. I just wanted to let you have a little heads up on that because i know you do make outdoor weekend plans here in the bay area. Again, we are live atop Telegraph Hill right next to coit tower this morning where its a very cool and damp start. Behind me you can see the transamerica building but it was previously under cloud cover. For more information visit us online at kpix. Com weather. Liz has traffic. Everything looks good on the roads so far. No big issues this morning on 80 near the 101 interchange. Roberta mentioned maybe a little damp out there. We are getting damper yesterday so we did see numerous accidents. We are not sure if they were weatherrelated. But this morning is better on 101. This is a live look at hillsdale and you can see things are getting a little more crowded in the northbound lanes. Lets go to the maps now and show you what is going on. This is near the eastbound 80 101 interchange. Several fenderbenders bogged down the morning commute early yesterday on 101 trying to get into the city. Anyway, right now everything is moving at the speed limit. Westbound 580 looks great through the Altamont Pass and Livermore Valley even though the drive time is beginning to slow, 18 minutes. But thats typical. You can see the delays beginning in tracy out to vasco and then our sensors turn back to green again. All lanes are open since 4 a. M. On the antioch bridge. They did some overnight roadwork there. But everything is pretty typical here as well once you get closer to a street we start to see a few brake lights and the nimitz freeway 880 in oakland, now that the roadwork is gone, theres nothing to talk about heading into downtown oakland. Your south bay drive times are also in the clear through downtown san jose. Back to you. Thank you.

Just a month after the target Security Breach and weeks before the start of tax filing season, Identity Theft skyrockets. Cbs News Business analyst Jill Schlesinger has tips to protect against thieves. Good morning. Reporter good morning. I guess the irs reported a 66 increase in Identity Theft. Reporter when i saw that number yesterday, i said we got to talk about this, because, you know, with just a few pieces of information, fraudsters can file a tax return on your behalf and just pocket your tax refund. They send emails, appear to be from the irs, but instead, they install malicious software, plucks your personal information. Remember, the irs never, ever initiates contact with taxpayers about their accounts through email, Text Messages or social media. If you do get an unsolicited email that claims to come from the irs, dont open the attachments, dont click on links, you just forward it to the irs, phishing irs. Gov. How can we protect ourselves . Reporter the irs says not to carry your Social Security card or any document with your Social Security number on it. Unfortunately, thats pretty impossible for seniors since for some crazy reason, medicare prints your Social Security number on the front of the card. So if you do have a Medicare Card you want to be very careful with it. That said, do not provide a business your Social Security number just because you are asked. Just give it when it is required. Also dont give personal information over the phone through the mail and the internet unless you have initiated the contact or know with whom you are dealing. Dont forget to review your Credit Report every 12 months. You can do that for free at annualcreditreport. Com. What happens, what should you do if you think your identity has been stolen . Its a process. First contact the three national Credit Reporting companies equifax, experion and transunion, place a fraud alert on each one. Then you file a complaint with the ftc and print your Identity Theft affidavit. You will need that to file a Police Report and create your Identity Theft report. Now, i know it sounds complicated. Theres a lot of information on the ftc website. Its very easy. Consumer. Ftc. Gov. We have to be vigilant, guys. I know it stinks. Its one more thing we have to do ourselves but we have to. Its a big nightmare if it happens. Jill schlesinger, thank you. 5 41 now. Coming up, cutting down on craigslist crimes. The new service that promises to keep you safe during your transactions.

And then over the weekend, there will be another chance of a couple of raindrops although again it does not look like a big system. Heres your cold front diving through right now.

Not much rain for us. Just kind of falling apart. This afternoon, skies break up and well see a little sunshine in between clouds. Temperatures are going to stay down a bit. Plan on 57 degrees in pacifica. 60 degrees in san jose. And about 59 in fremont. East bay temperatures running up into the low 60s by the afternoon. And then inside the bay well see 59 degrees in San Francisco. And 61 in alameda. Next couple of days, High Pressure returns to warm the temperatures up tomorrow.
