of hours of soaking rain, cab companies getting a boost in business and the gunners were working overtime to deal with the rain. many people try to take the wet weather in stride. >> we have been waiting, it is about time that it came. >>justine: stay with us on kron4 as we track the storm on air and on line. you can get weather updates anytime and do not forget to send us your weather

the saints at candlestick. there was a battle on the field and apparently the action happened off the field as well. we had some unruly fans that had to be dealt with. they see 54 people were thrown out of the stadium and other 19 were arrested for misdemeanors, and 4 people arrested on felony charges 38 people needed medical attention. the new 49ers president is talking about the bad behavior in the stands at the stick. >> we definitely want to make sure that people understand that that type of behavior is not tolerated. we will have more on the cover p e in the stadium this week if they do see that, we obviously do not want to keep any more fans out, but that is what will happen. >>james: 1 saints fan told kron4 during the game that 49ers fans were taunting him and his wife. his name is stuart peck and he joined reggie kumar through sky to talk about the tense atmosphere at that he felt in the stands.- >> we have beer bottles thrown, boldly people feared for their lives, we were heckled flinty in the tell getting area and we were heckled during the game half of the game was really abusive. i got separated from my wife and she was just really upset they were violating her space and all in her face. we were surrounded by 200 drunken testosterone field 20 to 30 year-old, what can you say? it is like a pack like a pack of wolves. you have the worst fans, the most abusive not all the fans are that way i know a lot of sense fence--saints fans don't even want to go back to the stadium after that treatment. and my wife will never go to a another 49ers game. >>james: they are asking you to take the word "badfan" all text will be kept confidential, they wanted to text the role and see to that the person is sitting in. >>justine: and if you are checking for tickets is not too late, the first wave of tickets sold out on ticketmaster on wednesday. there are some available on stubhub, tickets are not cheap they are from $400 apiece to more than $8,000. it is a little bit cheaper to watch it on your couch. and much more on the 49ers gained a special as we take a live look outside at the roof camera in san francisco. i think that red and gold is the embarcadero in the background and it is a live up in honor of the san francisco forty-niners, be right back. that came out yesterday was then with gingrich ex-wife said that he asked her for an open marriage back in 1999. she said no, and they then later divorced. a moderator open last night's debate by asking if that was true. >> she says the you ask her to enter into an open marriage begin like to take some time to respond to that? >> no, but i will. i think the destructive and vicious negative nature of much of the news media makes it harder to govern this country, and harder to attract be some people to run for public office and i am appalled that you would begin a presidential debate on a topic like that. your >> and john, let's get on to the real issues that is all i will say. i will not apologize for being successful. >> the biggest thing we to do is elected president was right the problem is to dip will appear will be very difficult to be left on i think the most important issue that this country is dealing with right now which is the robbing of our freedom because of obama- care. >>justine: that was rick santorum and he found out that he won i would just the now moronic. as

rick perry dropped out of the race and endorsed a new gingrich even though he recently said... >> if you would cheat on your wife, if you would cheat on your spouse why not cheat on your business partner or anyone for that matter? >>reporter: but now he says... >> new gingrich is not perfect, and neither are any of us. >>reporter: we do not know how all the revelations will affect the swing voters, but maybe it will help with the swing vote. as for new gingrich reaction to his wife mary ann's interview... >> i will not say anything about marianne, i am not getting involved. >>reporter: i
