alicia. it was fun talking to you. thanks for showing up. always by buy your tickets from a trusted site like ticketmaster or nba.com/warriors. buying from craigslist is always a gamble. if the

have a question for michael finney record it on your smartphone or tablet and use #askfinney. you might see your question answered like that on abc 7 mornings. coming up, a look at the damage of a

morning. one lane of traffic is open. only one lane of cars eastbound from san francisco. if you need to get to the east bay -- probably good to show what people are seeing. >> reporter: you want to consider public transportation. we are dealing with a fuel spill up here, not only a jackknifed big rig, but we can smell fuel. we were advicedd vised of where we can stand because of fuel rolling downhill toward us. that is one more thing they are dealing with. they think all the lanes but one will be shut down for the next few hours. they are putting it at hours. they won't give a specific time, they just don't know. i asked what happened. they said they are not sure at this point. rain may have been a factor. they are looking at the cause and what happened. the driver is okay, but was taken to the hospital as a preindication nar measure. they are going to check him out to make sure he doesn't have major injuries. 100 gallons of fuel were on board. one tank ruptured. at least 50 gallons of fuel spilled. they don't think the other tank was compromised. you have closures that we need to tell you ant. the onramp at 1st essex and 5th street are all closed. it's a struggle to get

bridge, amy hollyfield, abc 7 news. >> amy, thank you. you can certainly see the huge operation there trying to remove that truck. of course, alexis has been tracking this all morning for us. alexis?

everywhere out there. srk it is wet. that is the key. we need to slow down and take caution. red hill boulevard, sir francis drake, the yellows, oranges, more moderate rain, the ponding and standing water as we head through marin and sonoma county. san rafael to petaluma getting inundated right now. more rain coming back to the south bay. already had a half inch here. 101 and 880, a wet commute for all of us. it will change from rain to scattered showers by noon, isolated for the afternoon and evening hours. easily, this is going to be the toughest commute in the hardest part of the storm to deal with. >> thank you. >> a lot of our storms have been missing the south bay. this time, it is getting hit hard. you need to plan ahead. >> as we have been saying throughout the morning, if you don't want to drive, public transit is a great option. abc 7 news reporter matt keller is live. hi, matt. >> reporter: good morning, jessica. good morning, reggie. we moved to the cal trans station. a minute and a half ago, dozens and dozens of people got on cal train going northbound to san francisco. they are avoiding the roads and traffic and crashes that could be out there, potentially on the road. of course you need to remember to bring your umbrella, bring your jacket and stay dry when using public transportation. what a mess it was overnight. getting wet isn't the worst thing that can happen to you. look at highway 87. chp says she was going too fast for the conditions. the car got squirrely. she overcorrected and ended on top of the wall that separates the highway and the vta crash. there's wa way to avoid doing this. >> slow down when it's raining. before you start driving, check your air pressure on your vehicles. low tire will cause it to hydroplane much, much quicker than it would a properly inflated tire. >> reporter: slow down. now, with more cars on the road for the morning commute, it's going to get ugly out there. it already is out there. if you have the choice of taking the train, it might be your best bet. don't forget your umbrella. matt keller, abc 7 news. >> thank you, matt. a wet drive across the golden gate. southbound highway 101 coming into the city. the highway patrol urging everyone to take it easy on their morning commute. >> in marin county, you will see a lot of sandbags out there. folks poured into the goodman building supply. it

keep it in great condition. and then we also have some other things outdoors, so i'm getting another tarp for that. >> during the last big storm, goodman's sold out of most of their rain supplies and this time around, they doubled their inventory. >> abc 7 news was in the east bay as the rain was coming down hard in newark. you can see how much was pounding the pavement. many drives were taking it slow on the road. they like what they are seeing. >> very good. we need more rain. maybe it will help the drought. that would be great. >> reporter: you have your umbrella, too. >> that's right. we cannot wait for lake tahoe. we hope there is a lot of snow there. >> no flooding issues, but it was slick. bad weather is being blamed for a small plane forced to make an emergency landing in the east bay. check this out. the cessna landed at the alameda air station. it's no longer in operation. the good news is the pilot was the only one on the plane. he was not hurt. a crew removed the plane from

minute and a half ago, dozens and dozens of people got on cal train going northbound to san francisco. they are avoiding the roads and traffic and crashes that could be out there, potentially on the road. of course you need to remember to bring your umbrella, bring your jacket and stay dry when using public transportation. what a mess it was overnight. getting wet isn't the worst thing that can happen to you. look at highway 87. chp says she was going too fast for the conditions. the car got squirrely. she overcorrected and ended on top of the wall that separates the highway and the vta crash. there's wa way to avoid doing this. >> slow down when it's raining. before you start driving, check your air pressure on your vehicles. low tire will cause it to hydroplane much, much quicker than it would a properly inflated tire. >> reporter: slow down. now, with more cars on the road for the morning commute, it's going to get ugly out there. it already is out there. if you have the choice of taking the train, it might be your best bet. don't forget your umbrella. matt keller, abc 7 news. >> thank you, matt. a wet drive across the golden gate. southbound highway 101 coming into
