disappointed with the lack of representation from the water district at this public hearing last week, which was addressing the flooding. that letter pointed out that the lone representative who did attend was not able to provide answers to the public's questions or any possible solutions moving forward. then just over an hour ago, the water district responded with its own detailed letter, which stated they had sent the most senior communications official and that the mayor knew in advance he was the only one coming. they went on to say, quote, some of the statements the made by city officials at the city hearing what else mayor liccardo's letter today were made in good faith but without full knowledge or facts. the mayor also says they're interested in finding -- the letter also says they're interested in finding ways to improve communication and that they are focused on solutions that go beyond what they call political theater. growing frustrations about the coyote creek

worried about now, the city is planning for the future. the san jose s.w.a.t. team uses this tool, called an lrad, when confronted with a barricade situation. this is a demo, when they first purchased the device in 2008. now the city is buying several more lrads to use if they need to alert potential flood victims in the future. but those who suffered through the current flooding are too busy worrying about now to think about the future. this home is gutted, appliances lost, and so is the deposit money she gave contractors who never turned up to do the cleanup and repair work. >> after the flood, i was so vulnerable and so shocked and overwhelmed. i was, you know, i was desperate. so i just took what came. >> reporter: city and county crews are also working to repair area parks. this is hillier park in south san jose, a popular weekend retreat for many families, now closed. >> but it was pretty dangerous, so, little kids could be running around. and you know, it's just adults,

some of those flood victims. we're live in san jose, i'm damian trujillo, nbc bay area news. >> thank you, damian. there are new accusations today that the city is ignoring the concerns of a specific group as it examines recovery efforts in the wake of the recent flooding. advocates met with city officials this afternoon to discuss how to help those who lived along coyote creek when the flood hit february 21st. advocates as well as some homeless individuals said they want to be included when san jose decides how to divvy up $6 million in donation money. the homeless say one big obstacle is trying to provide the required documentation to qualify for funds. >> having to bring proof of this and proof of that, when everything's been washed away. why would i make up a bizarre story when what happened happened. >> reporter: san jose's homeless response manager told nbc bay area, if a city is moving carefully to catch any potentially fraudulent claims of flood damages, he says the city is working to identify the homeless who live along the creek and calls today's get-together the first a series of meetings. okay. i want to show you some pictures from sky ranger, from above. that's

but the county is proposing that between the hours of 6:00 and 9:00 and 6:00 and 9:00 p.m. seven days a week that aircraft rated as loud would be restricted to one flight in and one flight out the during those windows. surf air was specifically named in the complaint. >> they use a type of aircraft that's considered noisy. >> i think the problem is largely surf air. >> reporter: oliver coolidge flew for major airlines for 38 years and says living near the airport in a busy bay area means planes overhead are part of the landscape. >> i think you live close to here, airplane noynoise is a pa

this is an historic step, an important step in the repeal of obamacare. >> there's the leadership plan that was brought forward, which i believe, when you look through it, is obamacare in a different form. >> reporter: lawmakers are all over the board when it comes to t american health care act. the plan to replace obamacare. fa factcheck.org lays out the similarities and the big differences. fur first, the requirement that all americans buy insurance tor face a tax penalty. the new plan gets rid of it. but not having insurance could still cost you. >> it also allows insurers to impose a 30% surcharge if you're -- if you allow your insurance to lapse 63 days or more. >> reporter: the expansion of medicaid will be phased out, and it will become a block grant program. >> reporter: they're going to cap the amount of money that the federal government provides to states on a per-capita basis. that's different than what they do now, where they guarantee federal matching funds, regardless of cost. >> reporter: what about financial assistance for people buying their own coverage? under obamacare, there are two forms. cost sharing the lower out-of-pocket costs, under the new plan, that goes away. the current law also provides premium tax credits based on income. the new plan bases the tax credits on age. older americans will get more than younger. >> however, it also allows the insurance companies to charge older americans more. so they could charge them five times more than a younger person's insurance policy, where the current law caps that at three times more. >> so, what stays the same? the replacement plan keeps the requirement that insurance companies provide coverage regardless of pre-existing conditions and the provision that young adults, under the age of 26, be able to remain on their parent's plan. that also stays. okay, are you having plane ticket troubles? nbc bay area responds to an alameda woman who didn't get a refund after double-booking a flight. a

some time later this month. getting from the bay area to a popular spot along the central coast just got a little harder. i want to show you this. the demolition of the storm-battered pfeifer canyon bridge. that's the span that's a straight shot between big and you are the bay area. crews spent the day destroying the bridge with a 6,000-pound wrecking ball. two of the three piers were cracked during the winter storm and that could take up to a year to rebuild, which will make going through that area a little bit of a hassle. police say it's proof that alcohol and water don't mix. a man had to be rescued from the oakland estuary this morning after apparently jumping in. fire department tweeted out this picture. witnesses say the man either fell or backflipped into the water. a rescuer was able to pull him out using a paddleboard. the security guard reported seeing the man in the area hours before the rescue took place. he's believed to have been intoxicated when he fell. well, the

who waited for months for a refund from expedia, but couldn't get it. >> she finally contacted our consumer investigative center for some help and chris chmura is here with her story and a reminder about booking those airfares. >> yeah, something you'll find in the fine print. leslie morrison booked flights to mexico using expedia, but she inadvertently booked the return flights twice. leslie told us she caught her mistake and contacted expedia the very same day to cancel those mistaken tickets worth $2,500. now, leslie told us expedia told us, no problem. you'll get a refund within four to six weeks. well, she says she didn't. so leslie reached out to expedia again and says the company again promised a refund. guess what happened next? she never got that refund. so leslie turned to us this time. we asked expedia some questions and we wanted some answers. it told us almost immediately that it would issue leslie refund, $2,500. now, expedia blamed the delay on a glitch. it wrote to us and said, "we're pleased to share that the error in the processing of miss morrison's refund was fixed and her refund was processed." now, just a reminder here. federal law says that you get 24 hours to cancel a booking. within 24 hours of booking, you can cancel and get a full refund. some restrictions apply, but generally you get the first 24 hours to change your mind or fix mistakes. now, using a travel agent might complicate matters a little bit here. expedia, though, told us if you book and cancel through its site, it will work with the airline to advocate for your refund. still, it might be a good idea to also contact the airline yourself when you use a travel agent. you can always call us, the number is 888-966-tips or online at nbcbayarea.com/responds. did you know that? did you know you could cancel and refund a ticket for an airline within 24 hours? >> i think i did. >> did you? that's good to know. because i don't -- i honestly didn't know going into this several months ago. that's fantastic knowledge. buried in the fine print. >> terry knows a lot of things. >> he reads the fine print. >> i read the fine print. >> now we all know because of you. thank you. >>

shot here across the south bay. and san jose was mild today. check it out! right now, 75 degrees after upper 70s in downtown for your official high and we'll see numbers drop down to 51 by 11:00 p.m. as we move into the exact reason of why it was so warm to start off the week, it was high pressure keeping the storm track to the north. also importing some hotter air, but the way that this moved in, it helped to drive some offshore winds throughout the bay area. so no cooling ocean breeze. many parts of the coastline today did warm up into the low 70s. let's go ahead and bring you into tomorrow morning's forecast. i think we'll all start off sunny as a result of that high pressure. 50 here for the tri-valley, peninsula, 53. and the south bay, 55. also looking good here for the north bay. not too cold, 48. san francisco, 51. and for the peninsula, fog-free and 51. microclimate forecast as we head throughout tuesday still has more above-average temperatures by at least ten degrees above where we should be here. 79 in los gatos. 80 in morgan hill. 82 down towards gilroy. for the east bay, also another warm day. shorts, if you can get away with it at work. it's going to be enjoyable.

the mission. also, 64 in the embarcaderembar. still a mild day for the north bay. 76 in santa rosa. 79 in sonoma and also expecting 80 in napa. now, we have some great weather coming our way, we do, again, have that major storm system hitting the east coast. i want to show you in case you missed it the major nor'easter that is developing here nor the eastern seaboard. you can see all of this wet weather from florida up to the northeast, storm is developing, but we think by tomorrow, it's going to ramp up and produce heavy snowfall. i want to give us a current look at what's happening now through our sister station, wnbc's doppler radar, storm tracker 4. you can see it's mainly rain outside of new york right now. snow in washington, d.c. but tomorrow, as those blizzard conditions get going, 12 to 18 inches in new york city. washington, 4 to 7. winds, 30 to 60 miles per hour. flight cancellations already happening. and of course, they'll be stacking up even more for tomorrow. on

sunday and also into monday. for the interior valleys, after 80 today inland, we'll drop down to 69 by wednesday's forecast with a little bit of isolated rainfall activity. we're only talking trace amounts to maybe 500th of an inch. and another chance as we head into sunday and monday's forecast. it was nice today, wasn't it? >> oh, so nice. so looking forward to tomorrow, too. >> yeah, it's

conference with the san antonio spurs, who are just a half game back and host the hawks tonight. the doves were in this position after a brutal stretch of games across four time zones. they saw the team lose five of their last seven, including three straight. but finally the warriors are back home for a week with the 76ers in town tomorrow night, and steve cursy sees no reason to panic. >> this is going to sound crazy, i kind of like it. i actually kind of like it. i think you need some adversity. we obviously have some, probably for the first time in 2 1/2 years, in terms of the regular season. i think adversity can help. as i said, it forces you to examine what you're doing and get right and i think this is going to be good for us in the long run. >> in other news, andray vi dalla has been fined $10,000 by the nba for his racially ince e insensitive remarks following friday's loss in minnesota. he did not comment on the punish, but expressed regret for putting the team in a
