Annually. Uc Berkeley Police say those who turned violent were not cal students and the speech was canceled for safety reasons. And lets check in now with Wayne Freedman live at cal. Reporter thats right. If you talk to anyone on campus or in the community, no one is blaming uc berkeley for what p had. They were, in fact, outside agitators. Take a look over my shoulder. Good morning, berkeley, tough night last night . A war that began with a battle on campus that spread into a conflict and this morning anyone could see the evidence written on walls and covered up by plywood when the agitators carried into the streets of berkeley, they took dead aim at banks and corporate america. They always hit the same spots every time. Reporter why is that . They dont like the big corporation. Reporter for mario, it was business as usual and why didnt the city of berkeley deploy its Police Departments to protect those targets. Lets ask the mayor. We need to deploy our Police Resources effectively. We have limited resources. The focus was to monitor the crowd and make sure that there was no threat to physical safety of people in the crowd and in the community. Reporter what protesters may not have considered is that by moving on the big guys, they hurt a lot of little people, too. They are hurting the every day people, some of those people maybe work two jobs and they need that money. Reporter today, many of the people who would have worked in that starbucks did not work at all. If this is, in fact, a class war, as some people around here are describing it, then the people who would have been at work at that starbucks and all of these other businesses qualify as collateral damage. Dan . Wayne, whats the mood like out there today . Reporter now, that depends on who you talk to. If you talk to the young republicans, we asked if he had known how the event had turned out, would they have sponsored the event at all. He said he did not know. They anticipated violence but not that much. Another student, who is a freshman, said, and this is a quote, i think its sad and misleading that the rest of the country saw what happened here that they cannot tell the difference between anarchists and uc berkeley students. There is a bit of a misconception. Wayne freedman, abc7 news. Wayne, thank you. Well turn now to our weather forecast. A damp and gray day across the bay area. Live pictures from San Francisco and the east bay hills which is all clouds and one or two rain droplets. Spencer christian has the latest. Its going to get damper and grayer.

This storm ranks 1 on the impact scale, the storm impact scale. It will be gusty as well. Heres the forecast animation starting at 5 00 this afternoon and into the evening hours. We continue to see pockets of light rain and notice how between 1 00 a. M. And 3 00 a. M. , the rainfall becomes heavy and steady over the north bay. It produces a drenching. That heavier, steady rain shifts between 3 00 and 5 00 a. M. And then at 5 00 a. M. , in the inland east bay and after 6 00 a. M. We see it tapering off to scattered showers for the remainder of the day tomorrow and tonight. Its going to be wet. If youre planning to go outside, i advice taking an umbrella or shielding yourself in some fashion. The sevenday forecast in a few minutes. Ama . Thats okay. Its me. The snowpack is at 173 of average in the sierra. Thats as a result of the snow survey from the state department of water resources. This is the most snow recorded since 1995. The northern half of the state is now out of the drought. Governor jerry brown expected to wait until the next snow survey in april before deciding whether to officially end the state drought emergency. A new round of rain this week means were keeping a close eye on our reservoirs and some of them are already spilling over, as you can see. This water is coming from the Anderson Reservoir and floating into morgan hill. Matt keller takes a look at how much water is in bay area reservoirs right now. Reporter it was a dark and stormy night in the south bay. Okay. It was dark but the storm wasnt like what we saw recently. Light showers for the most part. When your ten reservoirs are above normal, even filled to the brim for some, youve got to prepare for the wet weather. With the dry weather, weve been able to release water from most of them to get them to a safer level to make room for the floodwaters that are coming in, inflowing into the reservoir. Reporter the reservoir in morgan hill is more than 100 at capacity. Thats why we were able to capture this video. Water spilling over and out and in the uvis creek. Lexington reservoir in los gatos is about 85 of capacity. The santa clara Water District has done releases getting ready for more rain to fill up. Anderson reservoir in morgan hill has reached its limit. Releases have been taking place and Mother Nature has been cooperating, too. Giving us a chance to dry out recently to help with the flooding. More will be coming to keep our water supply up. Through january were thinking, this is a great month but what if january and february is completely dry. We might find ourselves in a drought situation. Its looking like there is rain in the forecast so were encouraged by that. The storms are spread out so we dont have a concern of flooding. Reporter all of this water from Anderson Reservoir is floating into the coyote creek and water officials dont expect to have any Flooding Issues this weekend. Matt keller, abc7 news. San leandro man may be charged with murder for running over his girlfriend. Abc7 news was on ruth court as police investigated this deadly incident. It began last night as a couple argued in front of their house and then things turned tragic. Several 911 calls of the male and female reported yelling at each other. One of our 911 callers then reports that the female was struck by the vehicle and stuck underneath it. The victims boyfriend was behind the wheel. Hes been identified as kevin valasco. He tried to lift the car but was not successful and his girlfriend died at the scene. A homeless village was taken down today. It sits under the 580 and 980 freeways. There were 18 health and safety violations. Leslie brinkley has a look at what happened today. Leslie . Reporter advocates are absolutely angry saying that they tried to build something for the homeless only to have it attorney down but the city says the makeshift village had to go. They had to restore a public park. Shame, shame, shame. Those are homes. Those are homes. Reporter two weeks ago, west oakland neighbors and activists took palettes and plywood and built a homeless village wedged under the 580 and 980 freeways. They set up a wash station and toilet and donated food and clothes. The city complains they dont have the money but we came together as a community to do this. People put their time, sweat, energy. I never felt so much love for people when im beside these parks. They came to me and helped me. They was calling me mama nancy. Reporter but today, 12 residents, like mama nancy, were back out on the street. Oakland Police Officers watched as public works crews dismantled the socalled village because the city was leasing the land from cal trans to create a public park. Reality is that they took over a public park without any permits, without any communication. We had a lot of complaints from the neighbors as well. Reporter the city posted 18 health, safety and fire Code Violations for the village. What we see here is an exhibit of municipal code taking precedent over the housing crisis and human dignity. Reporter angry advocates tried to salvage what they could as a few dozen marched Oakland City Hall to demand answers. Beds were available in the citys winter shelter for those displaced. Countywide, there are 4,000 homeless. The Grassroots Community groups that built this village say they will try to rebuild it now somewhere else. In oakland, leslie brinkley, abc7 news. A war of words between celebrities turned politicians. Hey, donald, i have a great idea. Why dont we switch jobs. Why Arnold Schwarzenegger said hed like a shot at the white house. And the uber ceo steps down, not from uber but from a post that stirred a lot of controversy. Plus, who is really to blame . So who is really at fault for San Franciscos crooked highrise luxury apartment building, the millennium tower. Thats what the board of supervisors are trying to figure out now. The blame is on a uc engineer professor. Reporter uc berkeley engineering professor testified in front of the board of supervisors. He was on the peer review board which gave the project a green light in a letter to the city in 2006. My role in the project was very clearly spelled out as looking at the reinforced concrete structure. Thats where i focused my work. And the other things that they think i should have been looking at were not in my scope. The city relied on him. Hes basically saying you shouldnt have relied in me. Reporter especially since he was the chair of the review board for another project on tacoma. It was scrapped, considered too dangerous to build. He knew there were dewatering next door and didnt mention it anything in his letter. He knew that there was no geotechnical peer review but didnt mention it in his letter. You would think a professional like this would at least cover their behind a little bit. My biggest concern is an earthquake. Reporter pat dawson confronted the professor asking why her home was built on soil instead of bedrock. Could have been much more clear about the potential problems with the building and didnt take that opportunity. Reporter this is being called a systemic failure by the city, the peer review board and the city as a whole. Elissa harrington, abc7 news.
