Reporter under the obama administration, those committing the most serious crimes would be deported. It was called prioritizing. Under mr. Trumps plan, by enlisting more law enforcement, they will be able to find and detain those who have committed even minor offenses, but they still would be given due process.

The bay areas still experiencing scattered and isolated downpours, i mean heavy downpours. Look at live doppler 7. Things are quiet up in the north bay, but weve got heavy downpours across the peninsula, the Santa Cruz Mountains<\/a>, reaching across the bay, over to the east bay. This is the area of most active weather. All of the areas of yellow and orange indicate heavy downpours, many of which have been accompanied by flashes of lightning and crashes of thunder, and it looks like thats going to be our pattern for the next couple hours. Meanwhile, right here where we are at abc7, its quiet as you look over the bay from our rooftop camera. It wasnt quiet here about a half hour ago. We had a downpour here. 53 in San Francisco<\/a>, 52 oakland, mid50s mountain view, san jose and gilroy and 50 at half moon bay. From emeryville looking across the bay, this area is quiet right now as well. Temperatures are in the low 50s at santa rosa, napa, novato, fairfield, concord and livermore. And heres the view of the Golden Gate Bridge<\/a> where the pavement looks wet, but it doesnt appear to be raining there right now. These are our forecast features. Isolated showers will continue to hit parts of the bay area during the evening hours. Well have a dry break the next three days, but then rain returns this weekend and looks like its going to be a pretty wet weekend. Our storm impact scale indicates that this evening storm is still one on the impact scale. Fastmoving downpours will continue to be the pattern into the nighttime hours. Well see the possibility of isolated thunder and lightning with these downpours and less than a quarter of an inch of rainfall is expected generally. Heres the forecast animation taking us into 1 00 a. M. Tomorrow. Notice its going to be relatively quiet overnight with a few clouds around and the morning commute will begin as a relatively dry one. In terms of rain falling, although there could be some areas of wet pavement from tonights active weather. So, during the day tomorrow, we may see a couple isolated showers, widely scattered, nothing like todays downpours. It will be essentially a dry day. And our threeday outlook, wednesday through friday, appears to be dry as well. Clouds will linger tomorrow. Well have sunny, bright conditions on thursday. Friday will start off as a sunny day, clouds increase later in the day. Highs all three days will range from mid to upper 50s, so relatively cool. As we look ahead to the weekend, we actually have three days of rain, saturday, sunday and monday, coming our way, but the strongest storm activity will be on sunday, and that storm ranks two on the impact scale of moderate intensity, producing some downpours, raising the flood threat, of course. Forecast animation begins at noon on saturday. Notice late saturday into saturday night the rain starts to develop and sweeps through the bay area. It will be wet all day sunday, right into the nighttime hours and into monday morning, as a matter of fact. We project rainfall totals will range from, oh, about 1. 25 inches to 2. 5 inches in the mountains to three quarters to an inch and a quarter through the bay area. Heres the accuweather forecast. Three dry days. Enjoy them. But on saturday, rain comes back in. A system ranking one on the storm impact scale, mainly a nighttime event. It gets rainier and breezier on sunday. That storm ranks two on the impact scale. Well have leftover showers on monday, a one on the impact scale, and another dry day on tuesday. After years of drought, who would have guessed there would be too much rain . Unbelievable. From one extreme to the other. Thank you, spencer. Go or no go .

Shield your teeth from sugar. So sugar may visit, but its not sticking around. Sometimes you just need to get perspective on whats going on, and thats what were getting. Now look at these pictures from sky 7 showing the widespread flooding in san jose because of the overflowing coyote creek. And heres the reason why this is happening. This is Anderson Lake<\/a> near morgan hill. Its over capacity. And all of the extra water is coming down into the spillway, and thats going right into the creek. Theres no place for this water to go, and the creek has flooded several san jose neighborhoods. Thats right. One new neighborhood being threatened is a Mobile Home Park<\/a> on oakland road. Abc7 News Reporter<\/a> katie mar seoulo is there. The water is rising rapidly . Reporter it is. The Fire Department<\/a>, the city crews, they have all followed the coyote creek flood water north here to this Mobile Home Park<\/a> on oakland road. You may remember, we were here last night and there w8 inches f water. They pumped it out. Things have gotten worse. Authorities tell me the flood water is on the other side of this wall and you can see it gushing through the holes on the bottom of this wall. They say the wall is already leaning. They do not know if it can hold. They say the water is rising quickly on the other side of that. Weve been here about an hour, and i can attest to it for myself, its much deeper than when we first arrived. So, this Mobile Home Park<\/a> is under mandatory evacuation orders, and i was able to talk with the manager just a few minutes ago. Its a dangerous situation because we do not know how high the waters going to be. We dont know if its going to get in the homes or not. So, you know, were not going to guess, speculate. For your safety, get out. Its the only common sense thing to do. It really is. Im nervous. Reporter we were here watching police as they went door to door knocking on doors. They were also driving around in a police car announcing, you know, with a bull horn, telling people that their Mobile Home Park<\/a> was under a mandatory evacuation order. But you know, its not that simple. There are a lot of Senior Citizens<\/a> here. The manager told me at least two of her residents are invalids. One poor woman just lost her husband on saturday, so shes struggling to get out. And of course, there are always people who dont want to leave their pets behind. So, a lot of hard times here, hard stories from people trying to get out ahead of this flood in their neighborhood. And of course, dont forget, we know in the other neighborhoods that have already flooded today, this water is contaminated, so anyone who comes in contact with it is being instructed to rinse off. But again, the water rising quickly on the other side of that wall. Only a matter of time, that wall could easily be breached. Katie marzullo, abc7 news. Katie, be safe. You should probably be getting out of that area. Look at this video showing how quickly the water rose in san jose. The video on the left was 10 30 a. M. And on the right, 2 30 this afternoon, so only four hours only the hot tub in the backyard is still visible, right in the middle of your screen. The rest of the backyard is under water. Well, escaping flooding is just the beginning. One of the next questions is will your insurance cover all of the damage . Yeah. 7 on your sides Michael Finney<\/a> is here with some answers. A lot of concerns. A lot of concerns today. There are things you can do to make life easier when its time to file your insurance claims. I talked to the Consumer Advocacy Group<\/a> united policy holder, and heres what the folks there say you should do take pictures before and after the evacuation, document how much water entered your home, and itemize your possessions by taking photos. Keep a diary. Note the date and time of your evacuation. Notify your Insurance Company<\/a> right away if you have flood insurance. And if you dont have flood insurance, unfortunately, youre not likely to be covered for any of this damage. Now, there is an exception, and that is, if the flooding was caused by something other than the actual rainfall. For instance, if a storm drain was damaged by storm debris and forced floodwaters into your home, then you could be covered, so always check for those kinds of issues and options. Now, you probably will be eager to get those repairs done. Already state officials are saying, watch out for ripoff contractors and even imposters who just want to steal your money. So, unfortunately, after situations like this, what youre going to do is youre going to find a lot of people who arent licensed out there because they think theres money to be made. So, theyre going to be coming looking for work, and so youve got to do your homework and be prepared. Dont, you know, hire the first person who comes along. Reporter contractors are not allowed to charge more than 10 down or 1,000 max for repairs. And its the lower of those two, by the way. Repairs over 500, if a contractor asks for more up front, thats a huge red flag. Make sure they have a valid state license. You can look it up online. And get at least three bids for your project. And let me underline this. I think i was stumbling there. Thats 1,000 or 10 , whichever is less. They all know that. If anybody asks you for more, theyre a ripoff. Real quick, if your cars under water, covered or not covered by most Auto Insurance<\/a> . Covered. That is the one bright spot. Thank you for bringing that up. If you have water coming in, take pictures because youll need another car because its going to cause massive damage. Weve seen so many cars under water. Thank you, michael. Todays downpours came with such force, they flooded streets in a flash, as you see here. San franciscos gray highway went from mostly dry to flooded in about three minutes from the brief but intense rain. It hailed in pacifica earlier today. Abc7 news viewer Robin Johnson<\/a> captured it in this video youre looking at. And Los Gatos Creek<\/a> has completely overtaken the los gatos trail. Cant even see it there. Theres a man with a bike. Look at all of that water it is deep and moving quickly. Niles canyon road in fremont still closed because of storm damage. Fremont police shared this foe yoef a rushing river of water with rock and debris. Mill creek road also closed. Fremont police say caltrans is on the scene assessing the damage. So far, no estimate on when either road might reopen.

Its also the fifth Straight Year<\/a> of increased mileage on public roads nationwide. Yeah, i feel most of mine is on the bay bridge, just stuck there. Stuck there. Yeah. From nasa to napa, quite a homecoming for an astronaut who made the journey back to her old high school. After talking to students and abc7 News Reporter<\/a> Jonathan Blume<\/a> from space last fall, kate rubins finally got to meet them facetoface. Reporter it was a heros welcome. Our favorite daughter, astronaut kate rubins. Reporter of all the students who graduated from vintage high school, shes the only one whos been to space and back. I think anybody that actually decides to go get on a rocket seriously needs their sanity questioned, because this is not really a normal or a smart career choice. Reporter but oh the stories she can tell. We spoke to her at start of her mission. This is kgo tv. How do you hear me . Reporter and answered students questions from orbit. Thats so cool, thank you. Reporter but meeting her facetoface, they were surprised an astronaut could be so down to earth. This is what we actually launch in and this protects us from the vacuum of space, in case the capsule depressed. Reporter from her study of heart cells under a microsco microscope we can watch themeat and contract. Reporter from the lessons about eating in space. You have to go slowly because it turns into a selfpropelled rocket and the food goes all over and were the ones cleaning it right . Reporter even questions about grad school. Any science, math, engineering. Reporter rubins told the students science classes are important for becoming an astronaut, but so is Something Else<\/a> here at vintage high, sports. I was her soccer coach and back then i probably didnt know a whole lot about soccer, but i made kids run a lot. Reporter and she kept running, endurance that served her well. You hit your physical limit quickly. Youre in a 400pound suit, which is really a lot to work against. Reporter but perhaps the biggest challenge, returning to earth. Ive never been so conscious of gravity, that its a force, that its acting all the time. Reporter and she became cautious of this, on a space station where many languages are spoken, they can see the whole i felt like an american, but more of a citizen of the globe. Reporter in napa, jonathan blome, abc7 news. Incredible. Fighting gravity and losing. [ laughter ] well, San Francisco<\/a>s new transbay terminal is destined to be a modern, multimodal commuter hub. Eventually. Im just giving up at this point. I was talking about me fighting gravity, not her. Just to be clear. You know, for a while, its just going to be a very fancy bus station. Thats what were really talking about here, arent we, ama . I think so. Its been dubbed the Grand Central<\/a> station of the west, a gleaming, multibillion dollar transit hub for the bay area. The transbay terminal will open at the end of this year, but it will be at least another decade before its complete. Alexis smith from abc7 mornings has an exclusive look inside. Reporter on the outside, the transbay terminal is taking shape. Its flowing white curtain gives people a glimpse into the future of bay area commuting. A 1 millionsquarefoot transit hub, the centerpiece of a new neighborhood. Inside, work is wrapping up. And theyre already working on framing and putting drywall up very shortly. Reporter it cost nearly 2. 6 billion to build. For now, it will be a very expensive bus station. The metropolitan Transportation Commission<\/a> estimates it will cost another 3. 4 billion to finish making it a multimodal commuter destination with trucks and highspeed rail. The project is divided into two construction phases. The first phase is on track for substantial completion in december of this year. Reporter scott is with the transbay joint powers authority, the Agency Responsible<\/a> for managing the terminal. He says the project was always designed to be built in two phases. When complete, the transbay terminal will host 11 transit agencies. The first eight are expected to come in by the end of the year. The others, including caltrain and highspeed rail, are part of phase two. 600 million in financing has already been committed to that next step. We have a lot of work to do to raise the remaining funds to build the second phase. Reporter the project was built looking forward to that future connection. The center will be connected to the bay bridge by a suspension bridge over howard street, constructed to make way for an underground tunnel for highspeed rail and caltrain. That particular bridge type was chosen so that it would not transfer any load to the transit center, and it wouldnt have any columns that are sitting in the train box itself. Reporter on top of the center, a new 5acre public park is coming together. These trees have arrived and this foam is being put in place to provide the base for tons of dirt that will follow. This gives you a feel of how much fill will be because the dirt will be here and then theres railing above that. Reporter the park will include a 1,000person amphitheater, restaurant and","publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"archive.org","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","width":"800","height":"600","url":"\/\/ia801402.us.archive.org\/1\/items\/KOFY_20170222_030000_ABC7_News_on_KOFY_7PM\/KOFY_20170222_030000_ABC7_News_on_KOFY_7PM.thumbs\/KOFY_20170222_030000_ABC7_News_on_KOFY_7PM_000001.jpg"}},"autauthor":{"@type":"Organization"},"author":{"sameAs":"archive.org","name":"archive.org"}}],"coverageEndTime":"20240627T12:35:10+00:00"}
