either destroyed or damaged to the point they are uninhabitable, the result of a fire that started at 12:30. this is the 100 block of rancho drive in san jose. the fire department says this is the

mode to make sure everyone got out okay, which they did. >> everything gone. the smoke in the house, everything gone right now. >> reporter: what are you going to do? >> start from beginning. wait and then we buy everything again. that's all we can do. yes. >> reporter: san jose fire department called for a second and third alarm. the fire department does not know what caused the fire. they know it started in a unit on the left end of the building. i spoke to a number of residents, they don't know the cause either. red cross has been out here helping these people with blankets and temporary housing. live in san jose, bob redell, "today in the bay." >> thank you for that. to a developing story in washington. minutes ago, president trump denying one of the biggest controversies of his presidency, after reports he made racist comments about immigrants from some countries. tracie potts is live in washington with what was reportedly said. it's shocking to say what, allegedly, the president said. what did he say? >> reporter: yes. we are not going to use the word, we will show you the word. we can also tell you what he said in denial this morning, tweeting that there was tough language used in that daca meeting. what was reported was not the language that was used. he said he was most enraged by what he considers an outlandish proposal that set things backwards. at a white house meeting on immigration, a democratic aide says president trump used this language, expletive countries asking why the u.s. should admit people from haiti, africa and el salvador. >> can you imagine them walking in and saying these deplorable things and not being fired? >> republican maya love insisting the president apologize. >> what, do you have to spray paint the "n" word in the oval office to be a racist? >> reporter: he says he was pushing merit based immigration. >> it reflects an attitude that is a growing one among a significant portion of white americans who have a concern about the brown in this country. >> reporter: it comes amid negotiations to protect 800,000 young immigrants from losing illegal status. >> i hope it doesn't get off track. >> reporter: the president's tweet criticizing a surveillance program as lawmakers were about to renew it. >> the president is supporting the vote. >> the bill is passed. >> reporter: mr. trump tweeted. clarifying surveillance with immigration up in the air. now, before all of this, lawmakers said they were close to a deal on immigration. we'll see if that develops today. marcus, back to you. >> thank you very much. a search team will resume efforts to search for more victims in the mudslide. the hopes of finding anyone alive are slim. 17 people are confirmed dead. the number missing is at 43. it's gone up and down wildly with authorities believing the number dead will not be near that number. meanwhile, the number of homes destroyed was lowered to 64. the number of homes damaged is now 446. talk about a wild ride, this had to be the most terrifying moment of this couple's life. this happened in burbank. a fire truck captured that as the car, the driver and girlfriend were evacuating tuesday. the rush of water caught up to their car and carried it down the hill. >> there was no brakes, no steering and as you going down the hill, it was the creek that the water was going settle in. luckily, i got footing and ground with my tires. >> no one was injured, believe it or not. amazingly, the car wasn't damaged. the final plan to identify places in california most at risk for wildfires has been put on hold. that's the word from the press democrats. the public utilities has a map put together. take a look here. the plan was due sunday. regulators still want more feedback. now, they have until july. the risk map will help electric companies identify high-risk areas. they will have higher standards. there are multiple lawsuits because they say equipment sparked the north bay wildfires. keeping ed lee's legacy alive. dozens of people turned out about improving chinatown. this was the first meeting since mayor ed lee passed away from a heart attack last month. the acting mayor

these communities. they depend on this place. this is their social -- this is their living room. this is like coming together. >> it is often called chinatown's living room as the acting mayor said. mayor lee held a lot of public events there. the san francisco recreation and park department would have to approve the name change. if you are looking for something to do this weekend, a trip to certain state parks will cost less. >> environmental group is financing free vehicle admission to california redwood state park. they celebrate the 100th anniversary of the group called save the redwoods. it starts saturday and will be every second saturday of each month all yearlong. >> it will help you stay on your new year's resolution. this morning, it is cool with our temperatures in the upper 40s and low 50s. we have been watching the fog and if you are going out for a jog today in san jose, you start with upper 40s. it will be warming up and fairly quickly once those clouds clear. we'll be in the upper 50s by 1:00. the temperatures don't stop there. i think we'll hit 65 degrees around san jose today. we'll talk more about that coming up in a few minutes. mike has fog filled traffic cams. >> i do. i would like to show you the commute as best we can. this is the conditions. this is san rafael. we don't see the s-curve, just the end of it. we'll show you the map, reflected by the orange or the orangish-yellow highlighting throughout the north bay. it's creeping down across the richmond-san rafael bridge, the carquinez bridge and bay bridge have a fog advisory as well. a smooth drive, but the tri-valley impacted by the fog. be careful. the commute is just getting started. allow more time. back to you. coming up next on "today in the bay," it fell and hit a car. the terrifying experience for one california driver and the airline now under investigation. that new tax law just got real with today's paycheck. you may see changes. we'll tell you about it when "today in the bay" continues. it's almost 5:14 on this friday morning. we wake up to clouds and fog. visibility is clear as we get a live look outside in san jose. as of now, we will have clouds rolling by throughout much of the morning as we go to santa clara for a temperature trend, 52 degrees at 9:00 and mid-60s today. another nice one, even warmer than yesterday. we'll talk about the weekend and some rain in the forecast. that's coming up at about 5:19. transit agencies not reporting delays. fog doesn't usually affect any of these. the trains might be. we are going to track the ace train modified schedule for monday, same for bart because of the holiday. 5:14 now. new this morning, we are learning about a near disaster in southern california. look at this picture here on your screen. that's a fuel cap from an airplane that fell off and nearly hit a driver. it happened in new port beach in december. the united airlines plane had just taken off from john wayne airport, the orange county airport when the fuel cap fell from the sky. the driver says it sliced the hood of the car. you can see that for yourself. the federal aviation administration is investigating. for the second time in two days, faa is talking about a miscommunication at sfo that could have been worse. the latest case is a go around involving a delta airline coming too close to a departing plane. the faa says this was a routine go around and experts tell us passengers were never in danger. here is sfo's animation showing the delta flight as it attempted to land wednesday night while the jetblue flight took off on the perpendicular runway. passengers tell us they could tell something was unusual. >> suddenly, the flight pulled up really fast. you know, with all the engines working. i said what is happening here? >> this is at least the fourth recent incident at sfo. last july, an air canada plane almost landed on the taxiway where planes were sitting. they repeatedly ignored a go around order and landed the plane anyway. tuesday, a plane almost landed on the wrong runway and performed a go around. >> it's friday. a lot of folks are going to get paid today. >> yeah, that. you may notice a change in your paycheck if not today, soon. >> soon. all over the united states they just got the new tax bracket information showing how much tax to with hold from you in 2018. this comes after the huge tax law, cash before christmas. it's in effect now. up until now, employers were not sure how much to with hold. expect to see that change over the next few weeks. facebook is changing, too. more information from your friends and less information from news agencies like ours. more personal. in a facebook posting, posts from businesses, brands and media are crowding out the personal moment. he did warn investors with less to read and fewer videos to watch, people may spend less time on facebook. expect facebook shares to suffer on that warning. the dow and the nasdaq open at new records this morning. david letterman has launched his new show on netflix. it's called "my next guest needs no introduction." he used to say that. >> good to see you. how are you? >> i'm great. >> you and i recently left long-term jobs. >> we did. >> the first day -- >> i was not fired, though. >> i'm watching the rest of it in the news room. it looks great. what's funny is the audience did not know who the first guest would be. we did because we saw it. the audience didn't. >> is that going to be a normal thing? >> there will be six episodes, then might be renewed. >> no, that it's going to be a surprise? >> i don't know. >> i love it. that's a great idea. don't miss your next hit time by watching it. a boy with a green thumb is the winner of a national contest. it also helped him with his college fund. the contest lets third graders grow a cabbage as large as they can. for the 9-year-old, his cabbage ended up being at least the largest, really, of any one grown among 40,000. take a look at this. look at those ears. first place is a $1,000 prize before you consider the cabbage soup he and his family made for the animals, he said. look at that. >> they have goats and a dog. so, the goats actually ate some of the cabbage. i'm pretty sure the dogs had a couple bites, too. >> the cabbage measured 38 inches in circumference and weighed 39.5 pounds. >> wow. >> i need him to come work in my garden. >> there you go. >> you did well with yours. >> the zucchini and squash, but nothing was that big. we have gotten plenty of rain here recently. but, we are getting sunshine, too. we need that. we are going to soak it up over the next few days. after the fog rolls out of here, we have had a lot of problems because of the fog. here is a look at san rafael this morning. you can barely see anything. plan on a slower commute this morning and slow it down because you can't really see that far ahead of your headlights in parts of the bay area. now you can see the seven day forecast up at the bottom of your screen. look at what you are feeling as you head out the door. our temperatures in the upper 40s and low 50s. it's a mild start and will be a beautiful day, even warmer than it was yesterday with the highs up to 66 degrees in san jose. also 66 in antioch and napa. 60 degrees in oakland as well as san francisco. no now, as you head out for the morning commute, 50s, cloudy at times and fog moving by. once it clears, it is all clear heading out for lunch and temperatures in the upper 50s. in oakland, lunchtime temperature at 56 degrees. 60 degrees today at

to the south. tuesday looks wet. wednesday is dry and a larger storm system is moving in on thursday. it will bring a lot of rain and possibly sierra snow. an earlier look at how much rain we could see. this shows 1.25 to two inches of rain north of santa rosa. most of the bay area a half to 1.25 inch of rain. we are looking at fairly dry conditions for martin luther king day. a lot of people keep an eye on that. we will have a chance of rain later in the evening. the morning looks good. the temperatures this weekend will be nice and warm. how about 70 degrees. mike, fog is the main story. >> really, it is. that's really the only thing going on for the roadways. just starting to see the cash lanes back up. the bay bridge may be on a regular schedule here. a regular friday schedule means a lighter flow of traffic. north bay across the bridges and the upper east shore freeway. we saw a look at the freeway with low clouds coming through. vallejo will reopen today. they hope to have it open by mid january. it's good. it's early. looking here, there's more fog for the tri-valley and the south bay. the peninsula moves well. despite the fog, the tri-valley is not showing delays. be careful. back to you. >> thank you very much, mike. coming up next on "today in the bay," new this morning, a beloved sea animal may be a danger. the new species of snake slithering through the waters

birthday, mike. the recent discovery of a rare and venomous sea 5:25 now. new this morning, the recent discovery of a rare and venomous species has scientists worried of what it means for the pacific coast, not to mention sea lion safety. this is the venomous snake. it is typically found in warm water locations like the indian ocean and central america. this week, they found one in the sand in new port beach. it's not warm enough there. it marks the fifth such discovery ever in southern california and the third in three years raising the concerns about warming waters. happening today, a rocket launch is scheduled at the air force base. the launch has been scrubbed the last couple days. when the rocket takes off, it will carry a national security payload. the launch is set for this

next weekend. >> you got it. coming up next, students targeted on the walk to school. the warning to parents after several incidents. another delay. the reason bart says they need more time before expanding service to the south bay. first, a live look outside at san rafael. a foggy morning to start out friday. a full check of the weather and traffic coming up after the break. it's 5:27. it is 5:30 right now. we are pulling the curtains back on our window over redwood shores. it looks like the fog isn't as close to the ground there, but you can see it in the distance and we are seeing it all over the weather map and the traffic map this morning. look how still it was. you can see the flags. >> beautiful shot. almost postcard. >> thanks for joining us, i'm kris sanchez in for laura garcia. >> i'm marcus washington. speaking of that fog, we want to head over to meteorologist, kari hall, who is tracking our foggy morning start. >> we have seen the fog in patches this morning as you head out. we have fairly clear visibility in fremont as you get out for that drive. you may run into some of that fog. watch out for that for the next few hours. our temperatures start out in the low 50s. look how nice and warm it will be later today into the low 60s and sunshine. here is a look at the current visibility. we cut it down to .75 in livermore and half-moon bay was zero, now it's a half mile. at times we'll see the fog drifting in and out of the bay area and the temperatures low to mid-60s. it is going to be beautiful and more of the nice weather for the weekend. we'll talk only about the weekend forecast coming up in seven minutes. mike, how is it looking out there for those drivers? any problems yet? >> no problems. kari, we have fog at the bay bridge and the metering lights, you can see the back up here. you use the fog lights instead of your high beams. the higher headlight beams will reflect back. keep that in mind as you are driving around. no major problems in the area. as we look at the map, a smooth flow of traffic. the yellowish orange in the north bay, richmond-san rafael bridge, concord and walnut creek is where there's the densest fog. livermore, we saw the fog drift into the cameras at dublin. it will affect you. the san mateo bridge as we look at the westbound commute. the view is all right, so far. back to you. >> thanks, mike. happening now, parents and students are told to be on heightened alert after several students were approached on the way to school. >> pete suratos is live at walnut creek intermediate school with an incident that happened this week. what are police telling us to be watchful for? >> reporter: good morning to you, kris and marcus. first, thoey want folks to help them find the person connected to this. at this time, they don't believe the two incidents are connected. they are concerning, nonetheless. we'll show the maps. both of them happened within a mile perimeter at walnut creek intermediate. the first is taking place monday around 4:30 p.m. you can see it on the map. less than half a mile east from where we are standing at the school. they are saying an adult male approached a group of students in the area. the students reported it to the school, the district reported to walnut creek police and two days later, a mile north of that location on wednesday, near the 7-eleven on pacific drive, an adult tried to engage a male student roughly around 4:00 p.m. and showed the student a sexually explicit text message on his phone. the student went inside a nearby business and waited for the man to leave and reported it to police. i want to get to a description of the man in the most recent incident. in his 20s, 6 feet tall with a shiny bald head. the subject, at least at the time, had a neon green cast on his left arm. the walnut creek school district say the police will increase their presence before and after school. we are not seeing police at this time. if you have information to help with the case, contact walnut creek police. pete suratos for "today in the bay." >> so hard to let your kids walk to school in the first place, now you have to worry about this. thank you, pete. now, the latest developments out of southern california this morning. it is day four in the search of dozens of missing people. this is after a deadly mudslide hit the community. 17 people are already confirmed dead. crews are reporting 43 people are still unaccounted for. we know four children are among those who died in tuesday's mudslide. this morning, we are getting a better look at that devastation left behind in the wake of the deadly slide. "today" show's miguel almaguer is in montecito with the long road to recovery. >> reporter: marcus and kris, good morning. they are calling this is search and rescue mission. in neighborhoods like this one, it looks more like a recovery. massive amounts of mud and huge boulders rolled down the hill. they are literally covering home after home, up to their rooftops. we know 43 people are reported missing, another 17 are dead. coming up on the "today" show, we take you up in the air to give you an aerial perspective of how widespread the devastation is. when they first got to neighborhoods like this one, the mud was six feet deep. authorities say they are looking for survivors today. back to you guys. >> thank you, miguel. new this morning, changes could be coming to who gets to see police body cameras in san francisco. right now, officers involved in deadly shootings watch video before talking to investigators. the examiner reports that the police chief wants to change that policy. officers would only be able to look at their own body camera before speaking to investigators. that is still under review. happening today, a tribute set for a south bay high schooler who collapsed and died during a basketball game in may. we reported on the 16-year-old's death. she was a rising star on the junior varsity basketball team at homestead high school in cupertino. at tonight's game, there will be a memorial set up outside the gym and also a moment of silence. if you are going, they ask that you wear golden state warriors gear. she was a huge warriors fan. students are going to decorate the gym with blue and yellow streamers and balloons in her honor today. also happening today, authorities will gather to educate educators on responding to the unimaginable. they will hold an active shooter training session meant to prepare teachers for dangerous on campus incidents. this is hosted by the office of education. new warnings out this morning for swimmers in san francisco's bay. the fourth sea lion attack in a matter of weeks. the latest incident happened early yesterday morning at aquatic park. we brought this coverage during yesterday's midday newscast. this is the spot where other incidents happened. we spoke with the victim. at first, she thought it was a joke. >> i think this is something wrong with me because -- not serious bite you, just hold you. >> glad she's okay. she says she cried out for help for other swimmers to help get her to shore. she is expected to be okay. the public swimming spot was closed off briefly following the first few incidents last month, but not after this attack, the one yesterday. there are, however, warning signs posted of sea lions and being advised to swim in pairs. the maverick surf contest could be a go for monday. the world surf league is deciding whether the waves will be good enough in high moon bay. they are eyeing the mlk holiday to kick off that event. the decision could come today. as you know, surfers only have a short window to get here. as we have been reporting, the world surf league bought the rights to the contest after the previous organizers declared bankruptcy. i'm sure kari hall is watch tin that forecast as well. bart needs more time to test service in the south bay. transportation officials say they need six months to test the tracks there. they say they can't start testing the tracks until march because vta is still doing their test. service from the warm spring station to the berryessa station was supposed to start in june. i know that might be an eye rolling moment, but i would rather have them testing out than having people on the tracks. that's good stuff in the end, i hope. looking toward the rest of the bay and a smooth drive on the road. we are looking into berryessa. that's the area we are talking about, debris in the roadway. a mattress. some folks are trying to get as much sleep as they can. look at that. green sensors around the south bay and up to the bay bridge where the metering lights are on at the toll plaza. the orange, the north bay, the bridges, that fog really affecting the ride. the ride is fine for these agencies. bart and ace will be on modified schedule monday because it is martin luther king holiday. >> a long weekend for some people. >> yeah. >> can you believe i don't have plans for the weekend. >> you don't?

>> no thanks. coming up next on "today in the bay," new this morning, a late night rescue. the frantic moments for these dogs who were trapped in an overnight fire. brand-new this morning, the president is denying he made incredibly profane comments about africa. we'll take a look when "today in the bay" continues. woman: so, greg, it's a lot to take in. woman 2: and i know that's hard to hear, but the doctors caught it early. hi, blake! my dad has cancer. woman: and i know how hard that is to hear. but you're in the right place. man: and dr. pascal and her team, they know what to do. they know what to do. the doctors know what to do. so here's the plan. first off, we're going to give you all...
