Guess whats getting hit again, that same area, Alameda Creek and niles canyon where we have the Flood Warning right now. Thats where the heavy rains falling all the way into livermore, right up vasco road and into the Altamont Pass. We have scattered showers in the north bay and theyre much lighter. Heres a look from our roof camera where we had about 1 4 inch. Temperature 58 to 54 this morning, scattered showers this afternoon to isolate sod they will decrease as we head through the day. And as we feerd, the hours of rain that we got was just relentless, caused quite a bit of flooding throughout the bay area. That includes the south bay and Los Gatos Creek. Lonni rivera is there to show us the impact now. Reporter yes, natasha, light drops coming down here and you can see behind us, the Los Gatos Creek raging here and right beside it, the trail so close this morning because the water flooded that trail. And in san jose, coyote creek, also flooded. A Mobile Home Park there, fire crews had to pump water out of the park. No one was evacuated but people have packed their cars and theyre getting ready just in case the situation gets worse. Also, another situation in campbell involving a tree that came down on an apartment there. Took a while for them to clear the branches and we heard from one of the men who lived there. Im sure this isnt the only place where this is happening. Im sure theres trees blowing down all over the place with the weather. Reporter and drivers dealt with flooding on highway 280 near winchester. Lanes were underwater and it backed up traffic for quite a while.

This is in petaluma and she is really taking it with a lot of, i dont know, humility. Taking it in stride. Bridget mortimer says these were not the Home Improvements she was planning to make. She was sleeping saturday night when her dogs alerted her that there was a problem. They just kept barking all night long before that tree came down. It was like a heavy truck going down the street. I thank god i wasnt injured and its only a house. Its only a house. Everybody told me i have to downsize. What a way to do it. She has a really good sense of humor. She says her sons truck that you see there is the one that really took the brunt of the fall and shes just thankful that everybodys okay. Really a joy about her. Lovely. In marin county, flooding not the issue so much, it is the mudslides. Take a look. The slide just outside of san rafael closed part of highland avenue. That is a road used by the residents. A eucalyptus tree at the top of the hill caused concern for road crews who removed it before it could come crashing down. Near tiburon, crews cleared another mudslide. With the holiday yesterday, first of all fortunately a lot of people were off the roads and that made cleanup a lot faster. Storm damage has forced caltrans to shut down parts of highway. Downed trees and mudslides are the cause of the closure. Drivers now asked to use highway 17 as a detour into and out of santa cruz. Keep in mind the chp is reporting a rock slide has closed southbound highway 17. And caltrans is reinspecting the Pfeiffer Canyon bridge in Monterey County today and you are looking at the reason why. You see all those cracks right there . That is the problem. It actually moved that area, that support, a half foot in one day. This is just south of big sur along highway 1. Caltrans says its moving because of mudslides under the bridge. They do not expect to find it safe enough to open today. You can see some of the crashing waves pacifica had its share of problems, high winds pounding the coast there. Now, high surf forced officials to close pacifica pier all day yesterday. The wind was so strong at times, so residents went to go down to see for themselves. They say theyve seen higher waves over the years, but they say last nights conditions were pretty impressive. An abc7 news viewer shared video. We want you to share the video where you live. Uses abc7now so we can find it and share it. In oakland, one person died after a car caught fire last night. This was the scene at 7th and willow around 10 30.

Okay, things are starting to look better getting out of tracy this morning and boy i know weve got some weary drivers. Weve had this same issue three times now. Major potholes form around north flynn road. Chp and caltrans responded very quickly, got those patched up. Hopefully those will hold here for the rest of the morning commute and beyond and were starting to pick up speed. All lanes are back open, 17 Miles Per Hour as you approach Altamont Pass, still very heavy getting out of tracy, though, you are down to 2 Miles Per Hour. Ive heard from some drivers who are saying, i better leave now because it took over 3 hours at one point a couple weeks ago to come into the dublin area. 30minute drive, westbound 4 between antioch and concord and nothing blocking there, just stop and go traffic. Also had an issue here on the san mateo bridge. You can see at the bottom of your screen, couple vehicles. That is a collision pretty minor though and they were able to push themselves off to the shoulder. So that one should not be a major blocking issue. Well take a look at drive times coming up. Right now, lets check in with mike nicco. Fingers crossed in the Weather Center that those potholes that are mended stay that way. Update on Flood Warnings. They continue for lower Laguna De Santa Rosa and Mark West Creek up in Sonoma County until about 11 15 and another one for Alameda Creek.

Welcome back, and here at the live desk, i want to get straight to these live images coming out of philadelphia where the train has deramed and weve watching these images come through. This is a passenger train. About 9 00 a. M. On the east coast. Thats still rush hour as people go to work but interesting, we are now hearing there were no passengers on this train. Thats good news. It derailed as you can see from this image at a turn around point at one point, i saw at least five fire trucks, we had five ambulances on stand by as well as more than 15 police cars. They are starting to leave now that we have learned that theres no passengers on the train. Engineers in the area, though, still assessing exactly what went wrong in this situation. Well keep tracking it. Happening today, a move to prevent another tragedy like the ghost ship fire in oakland. Council members plan to discuss ways to fund and implement procedures that will increase safety in commercial and industrial spaces. They include providing Housing Assistance for People Living in unpermitted spaces and staffing to identify safety violations and enforce housing codes. Officials say violations such as illegal living quarters tangled wiring and poorly built stairways essentially trapped the 36 people who were killed in decembers ghost ship fire. Happening today, an east bay city is expected to be the first in the country to consider a measure seeking the impeachment of President Trump. Our media partner the mercury news reports the Richmond City council will be considering a resolution calling on the house of Representatives Committee of the judiciary to investigate whether the president s Business Holdings warrant impeachment. His opponents say the president s business interests often collide with his executive duties. So, one example, soon after mr. Trump took office, membership fees to his florida resort, maralago, doubled to 200,000 a year. The white house has said the president does not have any ethics conflict. Vice president mike pences trip to brussels is raising some eyebrows this morning and its not for anything he said. People noticed something unusual during a News Conference between pence and the head of the European Union council yesterday. Its hard for you probably to see, but you might notice the American Flag on that video wall behind pence, it has 51 stars, not the usual 50. So far, the eu council hasnt explained what happened. Okay. The actual pothole problem has been repaired, and weve got all lanes back open, westbound 580 at north flynn road so Altamont Pass drivers, this is for you. We still have some long residual delays out of tracy, that 1 hour, 48 minutes, and were having a hard time getting moving once again now that were really at the peak commute for that Central Valley drive and your main alternate there, ace rail, not running today due to weatherrelated issues on the track. Drive, car pool, find another form of mass transit. Also want to talk about a new problem, southbound 680 on burnl avenue off ramp, vehicle fire so at least part of that ramp is blocked. Very heavy delay on the main line and that is backed up into dublin to the 580 interchange there so definitely expect delays. Niles canyon road is also closed due to flooding so thats another alternate that you can not use this morning. And a tenminute delay for b. A. R. T. Riders. That was due to an earlier train that broke down in the transbay tube. Thats out of there now so just making up for that at this point. Well take a look at the bay bridge commute in less than ten. Lets check in with mike good morning, alexis. Do i care adare ask, are you tired of the rain and wind . Always ask a question that you know the answer to, right . Ive got some good news for you.

And light shower there. 280 and 17, a lot of water on the roadways, the showers and the winds, yeah, they taper today. Chilly mornings, dry afternoons, wednesday through friday, but then were sacrificing the weekend. Wet and cool saturday, sunday, and monday. All right, weve pulled the rains back on this storm significantly. The worst is behind us. This morning, we have some showers. We have some winds, but all thats going to relax as we head into the afternoon and evening hours. In fact, your evening commute is going to be much easier than the morning commute. Another wave of downpours coming from about now through noon and then look at how it just tapers to scattered showers at 5 00. And thats the way it will be all the way through tomorrow. If you get caught under one of those downpours, another 1 4 to 1 3 inch is possible. We dont need the rain. Weve exceeded our yearly totals at sfo, San Francisco, oakland, santa rosa, and livermore. So, grab the sunglasses, youll need them this afternoon. Youll need them wednesday, thursday, and friday, but dress warm in the mornings and get the umbrellas ready for some light storms, saturday, sunday, and monday.
