We do have slow traffic and we are going to start with the eastshore freeway. A lot of people already on the road. Its taking 36 minutes to drive past the carquinez bridge to the macarthur maze. There are no major problems, but it is getting very slow. We want to mention the traffic is going be slow at the bay bridge toll plaza. Its backed up to the macarthur maze. It is a very slow drive. I want to mention Contra Costa County because highway 4 is slow. An over turned accident right here. A lot of people use kirker pass to bypass highway 4 and 680.

We were just about three minutes down the road at Pescadero Creek road. Lets go to some video of what we caught on camera. The road is completely flooded there at Pescadero Creek road and bean hollow. There are signs up. The chp was out there earlier. But vehicles are still traveling through it, and this has been closed since yesterday at about noon. Some vehicles got stuck in it and people had to be rescued. But it appears maybe the water subsided just a tiny bit and vehicles are still going through there. They are not supposed to be doing that. But i also, too, want to show you some other problems that happened at around two this morning. There was an 80foot tree that fell across highway 92 near skyline boulevard. It blocked all lanes of traffic. The chp did have to close it. Caltrans arrived and they worked on chopping it up and hauled it away. It caused a lot of backup with commuters detouring around this area. It was the second incident of trees coming down on highway 92. Everything is now clear. And the road is open. That was near skyline boulevard. Now, another picture that we do want to show you was tweeted out by san mateo Fire Department. This is last night. This is where a pickup truck did get partially sub merged underwater off of highway 101 and 92. Fire officials didnt say if anyone was hurt. This is the type of things that has been happening overnight and into this morning. So Law Enforcement doesnt want people to take chances out there. We will head back out to see if a chp officer was ride. We were under the impression somebody would be monitoring it to see how they are going to clean that up because its not safe for cars to keep going through there in case sub gets stuck. All right, janine de la vega. Thank you. We will keep checking back with you by the coast. In San Francisco, the storm knocked a 40foot tall pine tree down onto an Apartment Building.

Reporter good morning to you. You know, we havent had any rain here at this location for the last couple of hours. The roads kind of drying out just a bit. I want to show you the conditions and what we are seeing here at this location in emeryville. We are just off of the powell street exit from interstate 80 and the folks you see heading way on the screen are going westbound towards the maze and towards the bay bridge this morning. You can probably see a lot less water on the roadways. We havent had any cells coming through this area in quite some time. Traffic moving pretty good. You are going to bog down towards the toll plaza. Now let me show you what we saw earlier this morning. We saw pretty heavy rain that moved through the east bay through berkeley, oakland and emeryville. There was heavy downpours. But of course the showers that have been off and on very scattered this morning, but it did cause some problems on the roadways, especially early this morning as we touched base with the chp. They were reporting a lot more crashes than normal. Especially singlecar spin outs. Folks who go too fast for the conditions and lose control. No major crashes reported by the chp. We were talking with drivers this morning. I talked with a gentleman who told me because of the rain he left extra early. Definitely. You guys said, hey, leave early. So were on our way. Reporter so you did leave early . Yes, sir. In berkeley it was a lot of rain. It cooled off now since we got here. Yeah. Reporter people behaving themselves on the roads and taking it slow . Looks like it. Reporter and there was one big issue at the south bay that impacted folks commuting there along 880 in san jose near the exit for the alameda. Quite a bit of standing water in that area. For the time the exit was shut down, the onramp and offramp. Crews came in early this morning to alleviate the situation there and get rid of that standing water. The roadway flooding. They have managed to get much of that water out of the lanes. We understand from our crew on the scene there that the on ramp from the alameda to northbound 880 still remains shut down this morning. So keep that in mind if your commute takes you through the south bay. Back out here live in emeryville, this is the ride through the east bay. All these folks heading towards the toll plaza this morning. A smooth ride, i would say, all Things Considered for this time of morning. Again, dave, we havent even any rain moving through the east bay in a couple of hours. Alex savidge in emeryville. Thank you. Time is 7 35. There is still Power Outages around the bay area this morning, but not as many as last night. Pg e says 602 customers have no power. Thats down from 1800 last night.

Most of that fell on the western slope. Cold temperatures. Roads are open. Absolutely fantastic. Midwinter shape. At what point do you worry, if at all, about avalanches . You know, we always do. You know, thats one thing that we do, is we worry about how much snow. But thats what ski patrol is about. Avalanche mitigation. This morning at 5 a. M. The boys are already on the chairlift. They have been out here up at heavenly. You can hear the gas on highway 50, state route 88. We work hard to control the snowpack. Especially in the large snow cycles like over the last 72 hours. Talk about getting up and back. I know over the weekend it was very difficult for a time. Whats it like right now . You know, right now we have chain controls on 88 and 50. This morning state route 80 over the pass was super slick. A lot of people out there trying to get through without chains. Slow your roll, people. Put those chains on. Always call the caltrans line for the latest up to date information. Take your time. You will get up here and have an absolutely fantastic time. Okay. Kevyn cooper.

They figure if they know where you are, they can stop fraudulent charges happen where you are not. The wall street journal reports that major banks as well as visa and mastercard are looking into this tracking service and tracking a customers cell phone location after a Successful Pilot program. The program could certainly help save banks money since they are typically responsible for reimbursing customers when a fraudulent charge goes through. It also means the bank knows where you are. So critics worry about disclosing more personal information. The paper reports that u. S. Bank corp will be one of the first big banks to use the tracking service on a large scale. Discover and us a man accused are also looking into it. Analysts predict this could be something that becomes a part of our banking. Wow.

Banks want to use your cell phone to keep your account safe. Pam cook is back in the studio to explain how this would work, plus there are pros and cons. Definitely. The banks visa and mastercard are looking to tracking your cell phone location to fight fraud. Now, one of the pros, the banks could quickly determine a fradulent charge if your card is being used in one location and you and your phone are in another.

It could help save money for the banks since they are typically responsible for reimbursing customers when a fraudulent charge goes through. Visa points out it could also reduce the number of declines that people get while traveling because the bank would be automatically updated on your current location. The paper reports the u. S. Bank corp will be one of the first banks to use trackong a large scale. Discover and usaa are also looking into it. Now, the wall street journal also says that tracking would be an optin service for customers at first.
