good job, joe. now may be the corrupt cdc can stop making policies dictated by joe s big donors in the teachers unions. that would be progress too. we will have a lot more coming up tonight. also tonight, an exclusive interview, rush limbaugh s longtime radio producer, our dear friend, james golden, a.k.a. boatswain early, he will join us live to speak out on rush s life, talent on loan from god. but first, the colonial pipeline is back online but america has been exposed in a massive way. this pipeline system was hijacked by russian criminals shutting off fuel to the entire east coast of the united states. gas prices which were already on the rise spiked even further. thousands of stations still out of gas as we speak, and things likely, we are told, will not be back to normal until sometime around memorial day. that s a couple of weeks from now. tonight, we are learning colonial, get this, paid a $5 million ransom in their desperate attempt to get their system back online.
is no significant incidents to report at this point. we also took a look at how cinco de mayo is being observed in san francisco as it is in sharp contrast to san jose. even before sundown the parking lot of the pueblo plaza and east san jose was a hotspot for people celebrating cinco de mayo , using their cars. they waved flags and cruised. spectators included families. we came to meat up with everyone that has trucks, burnout, have fun. reporter: large gatherings now illegal under covid-19 restrictions . for the crowd social distancing appeared to be a distant thought, with only some wearing masks. police arrived in vehicles and motorcycles. they dispersed the crowd. i think they are killing the mexican pride we should be here enjoying the time. it s a tradition, you know? they should let it happen, just for a little while. reporter: san jose s police chief says it isn t realistic to have officers going to large crowds to give citations for violations of the health
. good morning and welcome back to mornings on 2. it is tuesday, april 16th. i am pam cook. and i am dave clark you can go out and bark at the moon right now. all right. i will be right back. no howl from the control room! there, there it is. that was a rooster! [ laughing ] nice job! all right, we are starting to clear out on this system. it did give okay rain in line with probsts. san francisco .08, santa rosa .19. and the santa cruz mountains .42. mountain tam had half an inch of rain. a third of an inch for vallejo. ejo. our system is sweeping east and south. it is giving some rain toward the santa cruz mountains to monterey. more additional cloud cover on the peninsula. a few 40s but a lot of low 50s, even over the fremont is 52. not much left in the system in the mountains, winding down with high elevation snow showers. the system is driving down to central and southern california and high pressure is getting ready to nose in here. 60s on the high, nea
and then they be done, as well. it is out of our picture with high pressure beginning to move toward us. we will bump the highs up to 60s. 6:01. sal is here to tell you about what? a truck accident at eastbound dumbarton bridge from menlo park to newark right now, a bad time to do it on the dumbarton bridge because of this crash. a jackknifed big rig in the counter commute direction this way. a lot of people may be slowing because they will be looking at it, coming this way in the commute direction. we will see what impact it has on the morning commute. you will see that also if you want to get over to the east bay, the dumbarton bridge looks pretty good right now. eastbound getting over, certainly an option or 237 to milpitas. illinois avoid the dumbarton bridge eastbound. there is no problems on the richmond bridge but it is getting a little busy because of the plates on the span. back to the desk. overnight firefighters in paris were finally able to put out the massive
bit. it will not be screaming but oakland has a west wind at 16 miles per hour. the system is now in central and southern california and high pressure is on the way. as it does, we will start a warm-up. today is low to mid-60s. maybe a couple near 70. sal is here with the dumbarton bridge. it is still closed eastbound. the only lucky thing is no one was seriously injured but it happened in the eastbound direction headed to newark. if it had happened in the westbound direction, it would have been worst. but you can not drive from east pal alto to newark right now using the bridge. you have to use 237 eastbound which fortunately looks good. not too bad. if you are going right to fremont or newark from the peninsula, you probably thinking i have to go the long way around. hayward to fremont is filling in. the plate work on the bridge has been a factor every day of the commute. westbound carquinez bridge to the mcarthur drive, 30 minute drive. at least the roads are drive. th
