Will you get that break long enough for your weekend, or will those storms hit quickly and come back into the picture . Ill have the answers to those questions coming up. Thanks, sand ya. Late today, Governor Brown requested federal Disaster Assistance to help the state recover from these january storms. February has brought even more damage. There are several major highways that are damaged or shut down because of flooding or mudslides. And there is a new giant headache in the south bay caused by this weeks storms. Sky 7 was over a washed out stretch of skyline boulevard near lass come bres road in santa clara county. The Highway Patrol said it discovered the problem late this afternoon. The erosion left this giant crater where the twolane road used to be. Skyline is closed in both directions indefinitely obviously until the county determines just exactly how bado fix it. The chp has reopened eight miles of southbound highway 17 through the santa cruz mountains. The highway has been shut down all day because of fears of another slide near the vinehill road in scotts valley. One northbound lane at Granite Creek road is scheduled to open tomorrow at noon. A section of highway 37 in novato wont be reopening anytime soon. Sky 7 flew over the flooded section of the highway near atherton avenue this afternoon. Today caltrans announced the highway will remain closed until at least february 24th. Thats two weeks from now. Cars are being diverted around the flooding, which resulted partly from a levee break on private property nearby. Interstate 80 in the sierra has reopened after a mudslide there. Take a look at this long backup from the cal transcamera at colfax. You can see the eastbound traffic starting to move very slowly now. This is what that slide looked like earlier. Why all those cars got delayed. The freeway was closed for at least ten hours between colfax and highway 20. The chp sent out pictures to show how dangerous and unstable conditions are. On highway 50, weve been tracking a string of mudslides all day. The latest, a major mudslide thats kept both directions closed just east of pollack pines since this afternoon. Its supposed to reopen tomorrow. The chp posted this picture. Look at that jeep buried in the mud. The driver did get out okay. A Traffic Alert for anyone taking northbound 101 on the innocence overnight. Caltrans will close the far left lane between oregon expressway and University Avenue in palo alto for emergency repairs. This weeks storms have damaged a part of the highway. The lane will be closed at midnight and will reopen at 3 00 a. M. Drivers should expect delays. The largest reservoir in santa clara county, anderson reservoir, is 91 full. That Water District is releasing water as fast as it can, which is hard to understand when the state is still officially in a drought. Abc7 news anchor eric thomas explains why this water has to go. He wants to jump in. We cant let him. Reporter but theres no way marley could dog paddle through the 3,000 gallons of turbulent water per second flooding into coyote creek. People have come down just to fake a look. Its pretty spectacular. A lot of water they got to release out of that dam. Pretty wild. Reporter the santa clara Water District is releasing so much water to protect the 230 foot tall dam built back in 1950. Its not seismically safe so the reservoir it holds back is normally limited to 68 capacity. Because of recent rains, its currently at 91 . At the rate of inflow that were seeing and the storms that are in the forecast, we do expect that well reach 100 capacity probably in the next week. Reporter at 100 capacity, an earthquake measuring 7. 2 or higher could cause the dam to fail with disastrous results. Fortunately the risk of an earthquake happening at any one point in time or any month is very remote. Reporter still a 400 million earthquake retrofit is currently in the planning stages, but its not expected to begin until 2020 and will take four years to complete. Its unlike anything you see. Were lucky to have it here, but we need to get this fixed. Thats for sure. Reporter water officials expect the reservoir to reach fall capacity next week and begin spilling over the top of the dam and down a spillway designed to relieve pressure. They dont expect any major flooding, but they say it will be quite a sight to see. In morgan hill, eric thomas, abc7 news. Tonight there is a race against time at the second biggest reservoir in the state. The oroville dam spillway is heavily damaged. A giant hole in the spillway is growing in size every time water is released. Emergency crews have two choices here. Open the spillway and make it worse or let the water level keep rising until it reaches the top. What to do . Heres abc7 News Reporter neil karlinski. Reporter tonight officials in california have the nations tallest dam under a microscope, worried about this massive hole thats formed nearby. The oroville dam holds water back from lake oroville, now at record levels and in danger of spilling over after a series of storms. The 200 foot long, 30 foot deep hole is enormous, dwarfing the engineers who climbed in for a look this week. It eroded through the concrete spillway used to release water and keep the lake from topping its banks. This is a big zedeal. Were very concerned that we manage this properly to protect the public down below. Reporter heres the problem. If the spillway cant release enough water now, officials will have to try a never before used emergency spillway. Were monitoring 24 7. If any changes occur that could result in any kind of danger to the public, we will immediately notify the public. Well, downstream from the spillway, crews are frantically trying to save millions of fish struggling to survive in muddy water. John bar tell with more. Reporter so water in the Feather River is a mess right now. Flooding upstream and damage to the oroville dam has created a lot of silt and mud, and its all headed down here to the Feather RiverFish Hatchery. Mud is not good for baby fish. The salmon here cannot breathe in this water. So right now it is all hands on deck. The department of fish and wildlife is frantically trying to load as many fish as they can. Theyre netting them out of these ponding, loading them up into trucks, and then theyre going to be taking them to a much smaller facility, about a quarter of the size of this one. It has fresh water, so these fish are going to be really crammed in that fa siltd, but they dont really have a choice at this time. Now, the Feather RiverFish Hatchery accounts for about 30 of californias Fish Hatchery salmon, so thats a big deal right now. Its about 8 million fish. As i said, its all hands on deck here to try to save these little guys. John bartel, abc news. Tensions between mexico and the United States ratchet up.

Hes chosen to represent himself. Demonstrators at city hall demanded that San Franciscos sheriff resign after the eviction of a 100yearold woman. The protesters confronted sheriff Vicky Hennessy outside her office. Theyre upset that deputies carried out a court order evicting iris canada, this woman, who failed to pay attorneys fees following a lengthy legal battle. The demonstrators shea sheriff hennessy should have ignored the eviction order. We expected our sheriff to do the same thing for iris canada. If she had to, to go to jail rather than just go along with this eviction. The owner of the property offered to let canada live at the apartment for the rest of her life if she signed a document to let it convert to condos. She refused and instead wanted to buy the apartment at a discounted price. A celebrity lawyer is now involved in the case of San Franciscos tilting and sinking skyscraper.

Reporter the hoa board hired petrocelli who in 1997 successfully represented the Goldman Family in the wrongful death civil suit against o. J. Simpson and most recently represented President Donald Trump in several cases involving trump university. But some homeowners like the dodsons do not think petrocelli is the best lawyer for the case. We would definitely want to have a construction defect attorney, someone whos got the knowledge and the experience to be able to try this very complicated case. Were not looking for an attorney, and we dont believe an attorney that has a highprofile is going to win this case for us. Reporter dodson is in a group of 50 unit owners who filed a separate lawsuit for fraud against millennium partners, city departments and Powers Authority saying they all knew about the buildings defects before they sold the units.

Could a well known vitamin you may already take help slow down aging . A study here in the bay area has turned up some intriguing new data on vitamin d. Abc7s Cheryl Jennings has the detailed. Reporter we absorb it from sunlight, just by walking out the door. And vitamin d has long been known to help strengthen bones. But could it help fight off the ravages of aging as well . These guys are only about two days old. Reporter if you happen to be a nima toad worm, the answer is definitely yes. Gordnd liths go and katie dumas are researchers at the Buck Institute in novato. They were using the worms to study proteins that degrade with aging and are associated with agerelated diseases like alzheimers. So in alzheimers disease, theyre a particular protein that gets sticky and starts to become toxic. So if you have that protein in a worm, the same thing happens and the worm gets sick. Reporter the damaged proteins come together and appear as fluorescent blobs in the worms, which are genetically engineered to mimic human diseases. Since researchers could track that process, they decided to perform a highspeed screening for drugs that might slow or even reverse it. Then we looked at what those drugs actually were and found that one was vitamin d. Thats when we got really excited because we know that vitamin d has been related to these agerelated diseases. Theres a lot of evidence this might be an interesting player. Reporter they say the vitamin d not only slowed the deterioration, it also extended median life span in the worms by more than 30 . They believe it works by afblging genes that impact both longevity and agerelated diseases. Now, wofrms are far from people, but the results are intriguing enough that the buck team now wants to study the vitamin d effect in small animals and ultimately to learn how it might work in people. The big hope of this research is that we will find new ways to treat agerelated diseases. What were really trying to do is extend health span. It may be that life span come as long with that, the aim is to make people healthier for longer. Reporter if theyre ultimately successful, some credit will go to some very colorful and very useful worms. Cheryl jennings, abc7 news. Vitamin d supplements will already preskiebed researchers say one reason for that, as we age, our skin loses the ability to produce vitamin d from sunlight.

Hunter pence and i and crawford were all talking in the car, and they were just talking amongst themselves. I said, no pressure on me, then, huh, guys . They laughed.
