Joining us thursday, december 8. Were talking about wet weather. We do have rain right now in the bay area. It is slippery and the roads are wet. A lot of crashes already.

On our way to marin county right now. Good morning. I am not driving just so were clear. Georges here taking care of things behind the wheel this morning because we do have very wet slick conditions on the roadways. Were headed through richmond right now had westbound on 580.

It is not heavy by any stretch, but it is very steady and has not stopped since we left the station a short time ago. These are the conditions that we have encountered and seen throughout the morning. This is some video that my photographer shot while he was driving along 180 coming through oakland this morning. The rain was coming down pretty good in that area. The concern is going to be the accidents in the spinoffs that we tend to see when we had the slick conditions. With someone crash in the oakland area this morning. We saw one crash in the oakland area this morning. Give yourself plenty of extra time on days like this. Conditions are certainly slick throughout the bay area. Were headed to marin county where we hear there is roadway flooding on highway 101. It is a steady rain, not heavy but a steady rain. Kentfield has had the most rain so far. Marin county, Santa Cruz Mountains and sfo the leader of the pack. Sfo has one point sfo has 1. 29 inches of rain. San rafael. 92. Santa rosa. 86.

A lot of signal lights are out on pacifica especially right near the show system shell station. Those traffic lights not working and now we have traffic jam.

Federal investigators say it may take weeks before they know the cause of the ghostship warehouse fire in oakland. They are looking at many possible sources including electrical source circuits. The lead investigator says there is no evidence of arson. The fire started on the first floor and victims on the 2nd floor probably never knew there was a fire until it was too late to escape. The warehouse to not have a fire alarm for sprinkler systems. The mayors putting together a task force of fire safety experts. My immediate priority is enhanced building safety, event safety, and complaint procedures. The mayor says she will clarify the responsibility of City Employees to report dangerous Living Conditions. The city says the records show no planning or code inspectors had been inside the warehouse for 30 years because no one applied for a permit. There was one complaint back in 2014 but a little construction, however in inspector closed that case because there was no evidence of construction outside the warehouse. The Sheriffs Department has identified 2 more victims. Wolfgang is being remembered as a talented musician and a free spirit at 61 he is the oldest victim identified. 35yearold Jason Mccarty lived in oakland as well.

We are in oakland to see colorful tributes to those who died. Format whereas 31st an international and most of the streets in this area are completely back open compared to 24 hours ago. The only street that is so blocked off is what is in front of the warehouse. As you mentioned, around the perimeter which at one point was 6 blocks around the fire site there were flowers, mementos, handwritten notes. It appears a lot of those items have been collected. The city of oakland is trying to figure out what to do with all of the memorial items. City Officials Say they will be working to figure out what to do with that stuff. People have been coming to the site of this fire for the last several days to reflect, leaves items the items behind and handwritten notes. Some people that came were directly connected to the victims of these fires. Fire. Others just live and work in the neighborhood wanted to pay their respect.

Spend we heard the question asked, what is going to happen to this building, the remains of his warehouse and is there a possibility that the city or someone else could erect a memorial site there Going Forward . When i spoke with the representative about this she pointed out that this building is still private property so the city cannot come in and take over and build a memorial, but they are working with the owner to figure out what is going to have to happen if the building is going to stay here or if Something Else will happen to it down the line.

Off and on rain steady but not too heavy. Where do you want to begin . Im sure your screens are lit up red. A lot of them are. Just a lot of slow traffic with a lot of fender benders out there. Lets start in solano county. We are ready have slow traffic on 80 westbound driving toward the cartoon is bridge which is typical highway 37. Carkiness bridge which is typical highway 37.

Students at san jose state are being warned about 3 sexual assaults that happened on campus in the past 2 weeks. We are there on campus this morning talking about the latest thing that happened yesterday, and it happened during the day; right . Yes, and all of these 3 incidents that happened in the last 3 weeks happened during the daytime and in public places. Where trying to find out from Campus Police if they think any of these are connected. The latest incident happened in duncan hall which is a science building. Just after one yesterday afternoon woman was battered on the 2nd floor landing in the stairwell. After the attack the male suspect ran up the stairs. He is described as being in his 20s. Just this past monday at 4 30 this afternoon another reported that this man seen in the surveillance photo sexually assaulted her in the student union. He had followed her and she was walking from the 9th street plaza. She is described as an asian male in his 20s and was last seen writing and white skateboard with red stripes. We have also learned about another incident that happened in sweeney hall last week. Again, a woman was battered in the stairwell. If Police Want Information on any of these attacks, if you have any give them a call. In the meantime be aware of your surroundings and dont walk alone at night. That advice does not seem like it would help in any of these cases because again they are in safe areas for a lot of buildings and students are around and certainly during the daytime. Have they told you if there were surveillance cameras in the stairwells aware this happened so they can maybe get some more information . We havent gotten anything from the last one, but we will definitely ask that. Spokesman is supposed to be in Campus Police at 7 am so we will try to see what else we can do it up. We are waiting for a team from the bureau of alcohol, firearms and explosives complete their investigation of what caused the fire of the ghostship warehouse. They say the fire started on the ground floor and that the heavy smoke and flames one up the stairwells and trapped everyone inside. Investigators have been looking at the appliances as a possible source. They do emphasize that no determination has been made. Refrigerator is still being examined but not determined as the cause of fire. Agents will be at the scene for the next several days. Interviews could take a few more weeks after that. Of the 36 deaths are most are the most from a fire since the rhode island nightclub fire 2nd 2003. We havent covered video and photos that seem to show below standard Living Conditions at the ghostship warehouse in oakland before burned down. The photo show broken bathrooms, chaotic electric cables and wiring and even rvs parked inside. Rossetto artist and former tenant shall he met who rented one of the rvs for 565 a month. She says there was a propane tank in the bathroom to keep showers. She says she wrote a letter to the manager demanding a safer place to live saying, the junk everywhere was a fire hazard and she the suggested an escape plan in case of a fire. I think every person that came out in didnt do anything is guilty, every Police Officer, every housing inspector, they failed and they are guilty. She says there were at least 3 fires in the building while she lived there but the tenants put them out themselves because they were afraid to call 911 to worry that they would be found living in those conditions. A pedestrian accident sent 3 people to the hospital. Police said 2 women in the man were in the crosswalk when they were hit by a car. It happened near lock crews avenue. The injuries are not life threatening but all the injuries were taken victims were taken to the hospital.

The intersection is at kiely boulevard and malabar avenue in santa clara not far from Stevens Creek boulevard. One year ago today 64yearold peter was hit by a speeding car while in the crosswalk. You seriously hurt in spent months recovering. Several months ago 71yearold woman was using the crosswalk when she was hit by a car in died. Relatives and coworkers held a rally last night saying it is hard to drivers to see the crosswalk and they want blinking lights installed. I dont understand why my city is not stepping in and making improvements to crosswalk that has been proven to be unsafe. We contacted the city and Officials Say they cannot comment because there is legal action taken. The neighbors say they are angry and afraid someone else could get hurt. They say even if the city doesnt do anything they want to drivers to know the crosswalk is there initial slowdown. We shot a 14yearold student at a high school after he threatened classmates what a knife. He is in the hospital in critical condition. It all started during a fight between 2 students. One of the students through a knife and tried to a tech attack other students. School Police Officer told him to drop the knife when did when he did not cooperate the officer shot him.

We spoke with 2 young teenagers who grow up without a stable home. They described how hard it is to do survive. It is pretty hard. There is a lot of and him there is a lot on your mind. It is stressful. You have to worry about doing good and if you want people to know you have to worry about them knowing. It is very unpleasant. It makes me feel bad and confident. When i go to School Facilities of the kids with good lives in the makes me feel that. They are both students and treasure island. The school is raising money to build a dormitory for teenagers who dont have any other place to stay. Typically young people between ages of 16 and 24, they are the most horrible when it comes to homelessness. That is when they transition out of foster care or some other support system and often end up on their own. Lift up your head and keep moving or let the paranoia haunt you . Everybody lack confidence, everybody lack confidence i keep my feefifofum i keep my heart undone the strong in me, i still smile. Life. You never really know whats coming. Life just. Happens. Just when you think you know where its going, sfx ambulance sirens it takes you someplace else. And thats why covered california is here. To help californians who need Health Insurance get it. So youll be ready next time life happens. Because its more than just health care. Its life care. Welcome back to mornings and 2. There is a recall involving tesla.

In some places tree lots have raised prices as much is 10 percent. Trees or 20, 30 more than they were in the previous year. The price hikes have caused many tree growers to get out of the business or sell fewer trees. Because of the drop you may notice some Christmas Trees drought you may notice some Christmas Trees are smaller. Lets check in. We could have a rough commute and some spots.

This can really add up in those areas especially as you start to take the moisture up. There is a pretty good breeze for some. There is a rain event up to the north. There is too much warm air coming in. We have pretty good systems that are coming over the next several days. I had someone say to me, im walking home by about 5 00, i do my best the maybe 5 15.
