In san jose we are off to a decent start. Lets go back to the desk. We are certainly on storm watch this morning and the nonstop rain now creating some very dangerous conditions on bay area roads and highways. Ktvu alex savidge just talked to a chp officer in the east bay. Youre in san leandro so what is going on . Reporter dave, good morning to you. The rain is coming down pretty good where we are this morning. This is really the kind of morning you want to take your time getting off to work. The driving conditions are certainly hose douse. We are right off of 580. We are seeing a lot of water on the roadways. That means dangerous conditions as we head out the door. We just checked in with the chp. So far for them no major issues to report. Just a couple spin out crashes possibly related to the rain. So far it has been fairly quiet. No serious accidents. The rain playing a roll in crashes. That is why the chp is asking everyone as they always do to take it easy out there. Let up on the gas just a little bit and slow down. The big concern is that water that pools up on the roadways and the freeways and if you do find yourself going through one of those pools of water on the roads and going at a pretty good pace heres what a chp officer recommends to avoid hydroplaning. What you dont want to do is apply your brakes or lock them up. Just roll through it and keep your tires going and try to keep traction on the roadway. Any time you react and apply your brakes heavily you can cause that uncontrollable skid to happen. Reporter ahead of todays storm a group of volunteers worked to clear storm drains around oakland. This was the scene last night. They are working to clear debris. This is part of a unique program in oakland. This is oaklands adopt a drain program. This is a motto catching on all across the country. We have more than 10,000 storm drains and 300 of them have been adopted by People Living nearby. While the concern is flooding.

We are live this morning in san leandro alex savidge ktvu channel 2 news. How was the drive into your location right there . Yeah. You know dangerous.

The city says about 50 Homeless People agreed to leave the jungle yesterday. Shelters say as the temperatures drop, they feel they do fill up faster. One shelter says last year it had to turn away 50 people in one night because there wasnt enough room. Time is 5 07. We are getting a lot of rain right now. A though california badly needs rain, the current series of storms creates a possibility of dangerous mud slides in those areas burned during the king fire.

Three men have been charged with burglary in oakland in connection with a protest against the grand jury decision in ferguson, missouri. Police say under cover officers spotted them forcing their way into the store in downtown oakland early last Tuesday Morning and police say they were leaving with stolen goods. At least 135 people were arrested during protests last week. So far the three men are the only people charged with felonies. They are due back in Court Next Week to enter pleas. San Francisco Police say they arrested 79 people during fridays protest in the city. Police say hundreds of people tried to disrupt the Tree Lighting ceremony in union square. Some protestors began arguing with Police Officers. Others started smashing windows. And then the crowd headed to the Mission District where things became even more violent. Police chief greg suhr said five officer were injured badly enough to need medical treatment. We do want to warn you one picture is a bit graphic. He was struck in the face with a tequila bottle that came through the window of the vehicle. Struck him just under the nose causing a laceration that required four stitches to close. Chief sur displayed some of the items that were confiscated. They include rocks a chain, bricks, and a knife. Chief sur says 23 of the 79 people arrested actually live in San Francisco. Time is 5 39. In response to what happened in ferguson, missouri. President obama wants more Police Officers to wear body cameras. The president is asking congress for the funding to buy more than 50,000 body cameras. He says hes also looking for ways to build more trust and confidence between the police anomie authority communities and minority communities nationwide. 14 Police Departments have or will be getting body cameras. The city of oakland was among the first. Last month all 80 officers started wearing body cameras. Uc berkeley professor of criminal law says its human nature to be on your best behavior when there is a camera present. So the fact that a camera is on it simply means that the department of human nature is operating at full insent i have in ways that may very well improve things. Bay area Police Officers say they like having another eye looking out for them. They say its only a matter of time before every Police Officer in the nation has a body camera. Right now its 5 40. Another rally is planned against uc tuition increases. Coming up at 6 00 where uc Berkeley Students are gathering today and the historic moment they are also marking. I thought i was going to die.

Its been a long time that i had viewer comments that said pouring from levi stadium to pacifica to mill valley and larkspur. Welcome back. Its 5 43. A familiar holiday sight and sound may not be as common this year the Salvation Army has a shortageover volunteer bell ringers. Many of the longtime red kettle workers have retired or back at full time jobs. We found just two bell ringers in court maine terra. The Salvation Army has dozens of kettles in the San Rafael Office that could be taking in money if there are bell ringers. The organization hires bell ringers at 59 an hour. That means less money to buy food and toys for needy families. The ideal situation would be if we could have volunteers come in and actually volunteer to bell ring. I think that would be a great help to us. Crab pots were the original kettles used. We are posting information about volunteering for the Salvation Army. Just look for the web link section on the front page. Heres an incredible story. Heavy rain caused a roof to collapse in sacramento. And two people were inside working. Firefighters say a pool of water collected on that roof causing a 20foot section to crash down. The owner and an employee they were working on a car directly underneath this. The collapse came without any warning. It sounded like something falling off a shelf. And im looking around and then the next thing you know water like a title wave was coming down. He says a small hydraulic lift just happened to be in the right place. It kept a huge beam. That one there from crushing them. They were able to get out of that building without any injuries. Firefighters say dry rod also added to the collapse. The building is now off limits. 5 45 is is the time. Some of the roads should be off limits this morning. Pretty bad out there. Yeah its a lot of standing water pam and dave. We do have an advisory for you. I guess its a sal advisory. Leave early if you can. Steve has been saying it too. Lets take a look. In fact, lets hold on for one second here. Lets see if we can get this going. I will talk about the Golden Gate Bridge. Southbound 101 there is a crash approaching the span here. Traffic will be a little bit slow. They are removing it now. It was a weird accident where a truck came up on the bridge sidewalk and got into a crash northbound 101 might also be slow if you leave San Francisco. At least as you approach the marin side. There is an injury crash there. There is also a crash reportedly southbound 280 at east moore in daly city. Lets move over to the east bay that crash northbound 880 has been removed. Traffic will be busy. Westbound 580 near benedict off ramp there is a crash there as well. Lets take a look at live pictures. The bay bridge toll plaza we do have a backup. The metering lights looks like they have been turned on. Watch for slow traffic in the area. And i want to show you the carquinez bridge to the mccarthur maze commute is getting a little bit slower. 28 minutes which is kind of early for this backup. At 5 47 steve we have our hands full today. We do indeed. I think we will have our hands full today and tomorrow as well. There is plenty going on. First we get the warm sector and the low has to move over. That will give us some heavy downpours. Again that wont be as wide spread. It looks like that low wants to move into the north bay. North bay missing out. All the way up to windsor and fort brag and parts of Mendocino County its not raining that hard from san jose and santa clara and pacifica. I think the leader of the pack here its pouring. Also into San Francisco just had over three quarters of an inch of rain. The system has arrived yet. There is lighter amounts. Dont worry you will join the party if you havent yet. This is all lifting northward. Once the low comes in i will tell you you will have a wide variety. Marin county and mill valley and over to larkspur. Right over toward the east bay. Even toward lafayette, Pleasant Hill and walnut creek out to highway 4. Looks like pretty good rain around pacifica. Also probably up to la honda as well along skyline and sfo which reported heavy rain. And then even down to the Santa Cruz Mountains. Highway 1 to highway 17. So windy coast and hills. Wide spread rain will continue. Possible thunderstorms kick in later today. The per ramates for severe are okay for us. Not off the Child Support or anything but for us they look good. The Storm Prediction Center has painted us for a general area of thunderstorms. I will show you the water temp because without an el nino this may be a record for december 2nd. 61 degrees is bath water. Get out the bubble. That is amazingly warm. They have been in the 60s almost since june. Just incredibly warm. That is feed into this system. You have to believe that. 54 ukiah and sacramento and monterey. 28 tahoe and truck key. I did see 45 add blue canyon. Measure in feet. It might be a pretty high snow level and come back down. A lot of moisture and good rain. Statewide not yet but its getting there. We will have rain in the morning and some of this is really going to stack up. In fact, through wednesday night into thursday morning take your pick. Ukiah three inches. If its not raining that much yet, it will. And san jose an inch and a third so it looks good for everybody there. Best system since december 2012. Rain, cooler, windy at times.
