Thunderstorm comes right near sea ranch point arena. I mean, these storms are going to continue to travel as we track these heading towards the northeast into ukiah upper lake. So keep that in mind as we look at other parts of the bay area. That San Francisco area did see a thunderstorms is the here in the city earlier today, 41 mile an hour wind gusts right now at sfo. Wind advisory due to gusts up to 55 until tomorrow morning. Covers a good part of the bay area. As you look at a live view right now from heavenly, it is definitely a very snow packed heavenly view and the chain controls continue across this region with a blizzard warning until 10 a. M. Sunday, 12ft or higher with gusty winds over the peaks. It is really dangerous to head up there. Ill be back with a full look at this level two storm, including the timeline coming right up ama. All right. Thanks, sandy. Well check back. Lets get a look outside around the bay area. Check out these live cameras. Youre seeing the golden gate bridge. Thats upper left things are flowing there. Youve got the bay bridge toll plaza, which is definitely backed up upper right. And then you have San Francisco. You can see those gray clouds and san jose, that is 101 southbound. Those rear brake lights that you see. So a little bit of traffic there as well. Highway nine in Santa Clara County is closed because of a mudslide near saratoga. Caltrans doesnt know when it will be able to reopen highway nine from sanborn road to Redwood Gulch road is affected. Theres debris on the road from the mudslide and more could come down. It sure looks like it. A falling tree has injured four people in a car, according to the San FranciscoFire Department. They posted this photo to x. This is at golden gate avenue in laguna street in the Western Addition, where multiple lanes are closed while firefighters respond, they did not describe how badly the people were hurt. Now theres so much rain. Its overflowing in San Francisco. This video was shot just a couple of hours ago. Water is going up and out of the downspouts on this building and nearby. There was water coming out of the sewer drains as well. All right, lets continue our Live Team Coverage with abc seven News Reporter tim johns in San Francisco. Tim, whats it like out there now . Yeah. Dan im here along the embarcadero in downtown San Francisco and its really been stop and go all afternoon. As you can see behind me here right now, it is pretty dry. Were in a little bit of a dry period, but just about 20 minutes ago it was absolutely pouring. And were near the Ferry Building here. You could just see dozens of people running trying to get out of that rain underneath some form of shelter here under the Ferry Building or any other dry place they could find. Really. Now, we were talking about the traffic right there. Here along the embarcadero. Traffic isnt any more backed up than it normally is at this time. And folks have been really cautious with all of this downpour. Theyve been going slower than normal, just trying to ensure that everyone stays safe. Now, earlier this afternoon, guys, we were actually over in the east bay and when we were driving over the bridge to come here into downtown San Francisco, we were caught up in one of those really intense spells, and we actually saw we saw lightning and we heard some of that thunder on the bridge, which was, of course, a really intense moment. And again, everything on the bridge is just kind of slowed down to a crawl. People really want to make sure that theyre staying safe during these kind of slick road conditions. And with this weather storm expected to continue all into the evening and throughout the afternoon, were expecting it to go stop and go some more. So were advising everyone, of course, just to stay dry, stay as safe as possible when youre home. Maybe just stay at home, get comfy and stay dry. But for now, dan, back to you. That sounds nice and its good advice. Tim. Thanks very much. Heres a look at the current pgandes Power Outages. The worst is near foster city. About 1000 people are without power there. Pgandes says its because of the weather. Of course, pgandes has positioned crews in the sierra to respond quickly to outages. We also have plenty of equipment stockpiled and ready to go. So that as we start to see damage to things like poles, wires and other pieces of equipment, we dont have to leave the area. Its going to be right at hand. Pgandes has helicopters and four wheel drive vehicles on standby to get to remote areas. Some roads into the sierra are now closed because of the snow. Take a look at donner summit. Just about an hour ago. Look at that. Traffic was at a standstill. Fierce winds and heavy snow are making it hard to see. We talked to some drivers who told us they had to make it through anyway. Where are you going . Reno theres a blizzard. Yeah i have to go there, unfortunately. And uh got to turn around and come back. So hopefully for some safe travels, were going to go until we cant go no more and then well cab up, turn the heater on when it blows over. Well keep on trucking. Chp is simply telling drivers stay away and conditions are turning out to be as bad as expected. 880 is now closed from baxter all the way to the nevada state line because of spinouts with no estimated time of reopening, highway 50 is open, but chains are required from kyburz to myers, ada is closed because of snow just east of silver lake. Amtrak has stopped service on the california zephyr line between emeryville and salt lake city, utah because of the weather. And lets take a live look in the sierra. This is a view at zephyr cove in South Lake Tahoe. You see all that snow out there. Abc seven News Reporter suzanne fawn checked in with ski resorts. She joins us now live from the newsroom. Suzanne im a powerful. Winds and heavy snow are hitting the lake tahoe area hard. More is coming with each passing hour. Experts say its possible that we will break some records all over truckee. Snow is flying. People are moving fast to clear away the snow from sidewalks and roads. Their cars and homes, and people are bracing for more snow to slam into the sierra. Well, i think its crazy. Were expect this storm this year so this looks like its going so hard right now. I mainly worried about the wind. Not so much the snow. Its the wind. I saw a big rig yesterday that was totally flipped over. It was gnarly. So much snow is expected. More than a dozen ski resorts have closed, including palisades tahoe. Last night we received 17in of snow theres been 145 mile per hour wind gusts. So were actually going to uh. Were closed today. The palisades side, as well as the alpine side is closed for the day. An avalanche threat is a major concern. So crews are working to mitigate the risk. We will be bombing the mountain, you know, today, tomorrow and even sunday. Tuck wilson lives in olympic valley, about a half a mile from palisades. Its blowing really hard. Its blowing hard. Its been snowing hard. Heres how it looked from his deck today. He too has been busy working to clear away the snow. He knows its going to keep coming with conditions expected to get even wilder. You know, id like to say the snow is falling hard, but actually the snows been going sideways hard in soda springs at the central sierra snow lab, the lead scientist says this blizzard could break their modern day record of about 3. 5ft of snow in a single day that was set in 1989. Right now, with the way the storm is looking, uh, we could potentially get into the top ten snowiest days. Um, at the snow lab. All the snow headed to the sierra is great for the states snowpack. This is great for the sierra. This is great for the ski resorts. The mountain operators. For now, its about just making it through the weekend. In the last 30 years, i havent heard the National WeatherService Issue 120 inch. You know, blizzard warning like this. So we could set some records in short terms.

The father of our girls. I see a public servant. A man who served under secretary clinton in the state department. Where he took on the epidemic of violence against women in the congo. I see a fighter, a tenacious problemsolver. Who will go to congress and protect abortion rights and our democracy. Because he sees a Better Future for all of us. Im peter dixon and i approved this message. But theyre usually very underfunded and they dont turn out in big numbers. But steve garvey had a name, former baseball star. But adam schiff made a smart move with sort of the political equivalent of a bank shot. He had to get out in front of barbara lee and katie porter, two strong competitors. So what he did was say, no, im not going to run against them. Im going to run against garvey. And he floated some 30 million in tv ads attacking steve garvey as the republican lion. And that elevated steve garveys presence with republicans. And he went from nowhere to close to that. 30 of republican vote, which will put him in the runoff with schiff and schiff will likely beat him there. Right. But it was a very clever end run, politically speaking. Absolutely. And the other opponent, the democrats in the race, are not happy about it. They speaking of that, thats not the rules. He followed the rules, but the play was a different one. Well, speaking of the competitors in this berkeley igs poll, there are people saying there are more people saying theyre undecided than are actually voting for barbara lee. Obviously that does not bode well for the congresswoman whos represented the east bay for years. Does she have a chance . Its a long shot. She would have to have a big turnout of voters, but its not necessarily going to be that big of a turnout of voters. But its going to be heavily it could be heavily republican, and that could put her chances at at risk. But it also is something were going to be watching tuesday night. Is the governors ambitious ambitious plan for a mega billion dollar bond for Mental Health facilities. Thats starting to teeter. This poll showed it with about 50 support, down from 65. So theres a lot at stake in this election all over television pushing that. Yeah. And so lets talk about the race for San Franciscos mayor. Its not part of the march primary. Its on the november ballot. And you found out yesterday that supervisor aaron peskin might enter the race. So we asked mayor london breed about that today. He just needs to say what hes going to do already. You know, and i dont think we should give it a lot of time and attention or life until he makes that decision to say that thats what hes going to do, because, right now its all speculation, its all buzz. People love the speculation and the buzz. But we still got work to do. Well, its very interesting. Buzz phil, should london be worried about her reelection chances . There is a lot. Yes, she should be. Her support is under 50 and with ranked choice voting, if youre an incumbent with less than 50, then theres a chance that you could be knocked out. And aaron peskin is seeing new polling that shows that that plus hes been included in a poll now that shows that he actually does pretty well compared to the other candidates challenging the mayor. So his interest is piqued, right . Yes. And everybody, a lot of interest is going to be piqued because, like it or not, if people sense blood in the water or that theres somebody incumbent rather than rally behind him, no, they they line up to pat him on the back and knock him apart. Yeah. Shove him off. All right. Thank you. Phil all right. Well, well move on now.

The Oakland Police commission has sent all four of its police chief candidates to mayor shengtao. One candidate is from the bay area, the others are from out of state. The commission unanimously voted to send all the names on its short list over following last nights public forum, candidates shared their vision for the city of oakland. If selected for the position, tao did not attend and has opposed this sort of open interview process. Its now up to the mayor to pick someone or reject all the candidates. She has denied previous candidates the Police Commission submitted to her. Well whoever she picks will have a big job. Six shops along oaklands temescal alley were broken into last night. Burglars got away with 50,000 in merchandise from a Leather Goods shop. Stores there have been broken into before, but owners say police just havent done anything. One Business Owner says shes considering moving out of the east bay after this most recent incident. The people that youre asking to vote for, you are also the people that are impacted by, you know, all thats going on here. And so you need to listen to the Business Owners and the citizens of your community when they ask for help, because a lot of people feel like theyre not getting it. Surveillance footage shows two men going back and forth, at least three times overnight. Council member dan kalb represents the area and says oakland officials are taking steps to crack down on crime. But results will take time. Perhaps not a satisfying answer for so many Business Owners, but this may be encouraging to them. The governor has a strategy for cleaning up oaklands streets. His office today released a ten point action plan to support the city and making oakland safer and more beautiful. The plan includes installation of more security cameras around the city, improvements in trash pickup and landscaping, and assistance from the state in addressing homelessness. Governor newsom also has increased deployment of chp officers in oakland to help combat crime. Coming up next, building a better bay area by protecting the past. We have a history of over 113 years here in this community, and this building is a testament, a physical testament to our history.
