That lovely tone. Yeah. Beep, beep. Its important. It is, it is. You kind of wish they would say Flash Flood Warning for the entire bay area but the National Weather service which is in monterey actually they have all these different rain gauges. I think we lost something on the desk. Something on our desk fell. [ laughter ] sorry, boss. I broke the desk. [ laughter ] but you know, what happens is they have these rain gauges and they monitor them and one would tip and overflow and that would spark a warning for that particular area so thats why you heard so many different ones going on. But lets take a look at what to expect outside now. Its our live weather camera looking out at sfo which yesterday had threehour and 38 minute delays. So far this morning, not seeing any kind of reports of any delays at any of our local airports.

This traffic mess is on 84. Youre looking in the eastbound direction. That road closed sign is on the eastbound side. It started last night with a downed tree according to california highway patrol. Once that was cleared, it sounds like a mudslide washed branches and debris into the road taking power lines down with it. Crews worked through the night to clear the road itself. But again, we just watched pg e crews show up a little while ago to get in there to start repairing those downed lines again that were sticking out of the mud this morning. I spoke with the men behind the road closure signs here. They say that caltrans had to leave this exact location they said to head a little further down 84 this morning heading on the westbound side because they said they are hearing more reports of downed lines a little ways from here as well so this mess may continue this morning as they work to continue cleaning up the spot and repairing those lines but, of course, well keep you updated.

Kpix 5s anne makovec is live at guerneville to show us how the conditions are looking now. Anne. Reporter 1700 people got fresh evacuation orders last night because of the rising waters.

Now, right where we are right now is very close to niely road here in guerneville which is closed. But our team caught the driver of this pickup truck trying to make it down the road despite the water yesterday.

Firefighters say they wish people would heed warning signs instead of trying to push through. Turn around; dont drown. Got to get that word out. This could have been avoided. Reporter the intense rain has caused the floodwaters to rise more quickly than expected. The new estimate here is that the Russian River will crest higher than expected at close to 40 feet. Again, thats almost 8 feet above flood stage. And the question is, will this water flood highway 116 which is the really main road through guerneville . Its also inching very close to river road. Well be keeping an eye on it. Live in guerneville, anne makevoc, kpix 5. On highway 84 in the peninsula, downed trees and toppled power lines could make for a messy commute. Sandra osborne is live in woodside on traffic concerns in the area. Sandra . Reporter and right now you can actually see the rain is really coming down. Were starting to see more of that rain and this soggy weather is whats causing some big issues for state road 84 in San Mateo County this morning. So right now were in woodside. 30 minutes ago the road behind me was closed to all through traffic because of a mudslide, downed power lines and trees, debris on the road. That was cleared overnight. Crews went in there and actually cleared that out. But we have been watching pg e going back and forth on this road because as crews finally cleared this and opened this back up, they said they are actually just picking up to move to another spot just a few miles down the road on 84 heading westbound from where we are right now. They will be closing the road there, as well. So the big thing to know this morning, if you are going to be driving in San Mateo County, heading on 84, go ahead if you can find an alternate. They expect more issues not only more maybe mine more mudslides or trees down in the road, but once they get all those cleared away, they are going to have to keep going back and forth to repair some of the power lines from overnight and from this morning. So were going to continue to see some of these problems pop up but right now, the area that were near has finally cleared. Reporting live in woodside, Sandra Osborne, kpix 5. Time now 5 33. Roberta is back with a check of the weather. Not only are we watching the flooding and the warnings and watches. I was looking at the sign behind sandra. Gas prices are going up did you see the dinosaur behind anne . [ laughter ] that was quite something. So we just got the latest information from the National Weather service pertaining to the river in the guerneville area. The Russian River. So we have some new numbers to share with you at this particular time. The bottom line is, it will flood. Not the cityproper but some of the guerneville businesses certainly and definitely parkers resort and brookside resort. We now have the flooding at 37. 6. Thats when its going to crest later on this afternoon. Flood stage is 32 feet so you can do the math, about five to six feet above flood stage which moderate to significant flooding. Napa and saint helena will see moderate to significant flooding today and also the napa river in napa they have the brandnew flood gauges doing an awesome job but we are gates, doing an awesome job, but we are anticipating flooding. Silverado train has a mudslide. Live hidef doppler still all lit up plenty of rain in the north bay.

We do still have that Flood Warning in effect for portions of Alameda County until 6 00 this morning. Coastal flood advisory in effect.

It will be sustained 10 to 15 during the day. Temperatures in the 50s. We are tracking a brandnew storm okay, lingering showers today. Most of the day will be dry but a lingering shower. Another storm tonight. Heres roqui. Thank you, roberta. Its 5 35. Im happy to announce i have some good news for you that use highway 37 in the Vallejo Novato commute. Take a look here. Highway 37 between highway 101 and now atherton avenue is closed which means its a much shorter distance of closed road there and it gives you direct access to 101. Chp is diverting traffic off 37 to atherton right on to 101 for your highway 37 commute. Lets take a look now at the Golden Gate Bridge from marin county into San Francisco. That will be a quick commute but those roads are wet so take a look at that. And the bay bridge toll plaza those metering lights are on now so from carquinez bridge along the eastshore freeway to the maze will be 22 minutes and then expect a 15minute drive through the toll plaza across the span of the bridge into downtown San Francisco. And if you are traveling into the peninsula, heres a live look at that commute. Slowing down a bit because those roads are very wet. You see the raindrops on the camera there so make sure youre taking it slow and carefully as you are headed out to the peninsula. Okay, mass transit, San Francisco stations for bart are still delayed 10 minutes headed into the dublinpleasanton direction and the pittsburgbay point direction. Ace train one is canceled because theres a mudslide on the track. But ace train 3 is on time. Ill send it to you. All right, roqui. Thank you. And in the north bay heavy rains sent mud rushing straight for a fairfax home trapping several people inside. Trees and big chunks of a hillside came down with the mud hitting this home on sir Francis Drake and olema. The mudslide knocked out the front steps forcing crews to work their way around the plants, mud and live wires to pull people to safety. The family is stunned by the force of the mud. And smashed the carport and pushed all the mud out and the carport is buried. You cant even see that it was there. I didnt quite know why and i looked outside and then it was really weird. The mudslide also caused a gas leak which pg e crews have been working to repair. Crews will be out surveying the damage in san anselmo. Benjamin sent us video from downtown yesterday. Storm drains and sewers were overflowing. The flood sirens went off around 7 00 and evacuations were ordered. Some residents tried to protect homes and shops with sandbags. Kind of worried. When we heard the siren, we were,er like, okay should we leave our house . Seems like it calmed down now should be okay. Authorities say at one point the creek was more than a foot over its flood stage. In fremont, mudslide damage has forced niles canyon road to close for the second time in two days after being shut down for hours early monday morning and then briefly reopened after crews cleared the area.
