I am frustrated you cant even understand what its like. Reporter christine wants the Water Company to stop the leak, fix the street and her house. This is east bay m. U. D. s water. Quit passing the buck. Reporter yeah, we asked east bay m. U. D. Several times today but they declined to talk on camera.

And caught in the middle are the homeowners and their homes. Veronica . Those homeowners, da, are obviously really upset. This has been going on for three years. The situation looks urgent.

They say even though the leaking is happening here, they think even though the water is seeping out right here, they think the leak is coming from somewhere else that could be down there, it could be somewhere up there so they just dont know.

Two other Similar Companies have also been warned, stop doing business in the city. Well, some say baseball was made for kids and grownups only screw it up. Look no further than at t park for this one. Kpix 5s linda yee with the incident that launched a new dress code. Whats going on . Reporter well, veronica, you know, ballparks are supposed to be where fans can get really crazy, wear team colors an odd costume or two. Now the giants are saying, maybe we plan to put a stop to it, put a little limit on what you can wear. Heres why. Lets go, giants lets go, oakland reporter it was that kind of day in San Francisco. Go as. Go giants. Go as. Go giants. Might be an awkward ride home if the as win. Reporter but all this green and gold is not what forced the giants to announce a dress code change today. We have basically amended our code of conduct and how we ask our fans to include culturally insensitive clothing. Reporter it all goes back to the giants game on june 24 which was native American Heritage night at the ballpark. But when a man in the bleachers showed up wearing a war bonnet, a bit like the one you see here, things got ugly. [ screaming ] dont touch me let me go reporter the woman you see getting removed by police says she found the mans headdress offensive. But there are conflicting reports as to how she went about confronting him. [ screaming ] reporter regardless, the incident prompted the team to review its policies. We just want to ask our fans to be mindful and respectful. Reporter so what exactly is disrespectful . Truth, the giants dont really have a game plan for that, the truth is. It will be managed on a caseby case basis, which could get tricky in a park with a lot of fans dressed to turn heads. The sombrero i got it custom made in cabo san lucas. I have a cuban flag but im not a communist. You have to follow it to a certain point. Reporter but the rules are the rules and for fans that now means keeping cultural sensitivity in mind when heading to the yard. Being in a culturally sensitive in their attire and language. I think it should be fine. Reporter to be absolutely clear, this is not the kind of offense like interfering with a game that would get a fan immediately ejected out of the ballpark. What the giants are hoping is that maybe the offensive costume that someone might be wearing can be talked into changing or covering it up so they wont have the nasty confrontation like they did before which started all of these rule changes. Reporting live at at t ballpark, linda yee, kpix 5. Big news tonight on the water watch. El nino will likely be back this winter. This is a look at flooding from the record el nino of 199798. Chief meteorologist paul deanno on whether well see an el nino this fall. We want the rainfall but not the flooding. A strong el nino typically brings both but heres the deal. El nino is likely to happen this winter but we dont know how strong its going to be so as of today we still dont know how much rain we are going to get. So it is official, el nino is likely back this winter and looking just through the lens of our drought this could be good news but its not a guarantee that reservoirs like these will be filled to the top quickly. Because not every el nino is created equal. We have weak el ninos, moderate el ninos and strong el ninos. Strong el nino winters are by far the wettest. Using santa rosa as an example, winter with the strong el nino give us nearly two feet of rain. We get 2 less rain with a moderate el nino and weak el ninos are actually below average. And even if el nino gives us a wet winter this winter its not going to make up the drought all at once. The ground below me has missed out on 2. 5 feet of water over the past three years. But we do need to be careful what we wish for. A winter that does erase a big chunk of our drought would likely include scenes like this. The el nino winter of 1997 98 is the still the stormiest in a generation. El nino is not a guarantee but it is hope after three of the driest years in californias history. There is now a solid chance that we will not see super dry year number 4. Thats good. It is good news. You know, lets shoot for right in the middle the median el nino, 2 above normal. If you could choose your el nino, lets choose moderate because it doesnt give us a huge increase in the likelihood of flooding but it also doesnt give us zero rainfall like we have had over the past couple of years. So its kind of tough because we want the rain, but who wants flooding . We are trying to predict the weather, man. I mean, come on. Who would do that for a living . [ laughter ] hey. Sorry. Really good point. Good job. Thanks. It is our mission and we will not stop a rapist who attacked more than a dozen bay area women is a free man tonight and his new neighbors are furious. Trucking down the road with three tons of pot. The dummies stake that got these guys caught.

Dont touch me do not touch me residents are determined to force Christopher Hubbart to move. Reporter Kristie Fajardo with how far they are willing to go to get their way. Get out, hubbart reporter a showdown in the high desert. Christopher hubbart known as the pillowcase rapist stays indoors. This is our mission and we will not stop reporter while protestors who want him gone stock up and hunker down. He is not welcome here. Women are terrified of him. Reporter sharon is his closest neighbor. She can make out his property from her own and as a rape survivor was unsettled yesterday to see this. Is this mr. Hubbart . Reporter hubbart released from a Mental Hospital and moving in next door. I looked right in. I couldnt believe it was him. I was shocked because i thought we would be notified before he came. Reporter she and others have tried for months to block his arrival. Hubbart has admitted to raping 40 women in the 70s and 80s. A bay area judge ordered his release into l. A. County after he was deemed to no longer pose a threat. Hubbart must wear a gps ankle bracelet and a Program Supervisor will accompany him in public for up to the first year. For now, he is also surrounded by private security including this man who told us hubbart is aware of the protests. Just want to let the guy try to settle in and, you know, just not not be stressed out over it. Reporter but his new neighbors say they are stressed out by his presence and are vowing to drive him out even if it means changing the laws that let him out in the first place. Our judicial system failed us and all the powers that be that we tried to call in stopped this, dont dont have the power to do it. Mr. Hubbart is under constant supervision, has the gps monitoring bracelet 24 7. A group of Homeless People living in a large encampment in berkeley is being told to move on. Thats the message from city leaders. They say this large gathering of Homeless People living under the gilman street overpass has become a public nuisance. Garbage is piling up. There is no trash service there and the leftover food and waste is attracting rodents. Why cant we do that . We keep it clean, its sanitary and we have bags and they have the potties over there for us so we go to the bathroom. Other than that, uhm, yeah, its a scary thing for the 15. July 15th is the date the city says everyone in the encampment must be gone. Hundreds of people turned out at San Jose City hall today to protest new pot club regulations. Save our clubs new rules require the dispensaries to grow their own marijuana. Pot club owners say thats just not practical. They say as many as 70 of the pot clubs would be forced to shut down. Protestors say they have collected enough signatures now to get a referendum on the November Ballot to reverse the new rules. And this uhaul may look normal on the outside, but what Bakersfield Police found inside was anything but moving gear. They found this, more than 3. 5 tons of weed. Estimated street value, about 76 million. Police say they found the pot when the driver ran a red light. Both he and his passenger were promptly arrested.

Do we have anything coming up this weekend . We just have this extreme fire danger. Its going to be there we talk about el nino this winter, the more critical thing going on right now is this fire danger which is not going anywhere for the next few months. So we have to smart. And we have to cross your fingers for any rainfall. But its july and we typically dont see any around here. Peek outside, highs from today, did you notice it was cloudy this morning away from the water . Did you notice it did not warm up this afternoon . Walnut creek 79 degrees. That is about 10 degrees below average. Belmont hit 76. Point reyes only a high of 60 and saratoga warmest spot that i could find hit 86 degrees. Lots going on this weekend. We are taking a look at the sunday Street Block Party at the Richmond District in San Francisco mainly sunny skies, 65 degrees. Your forecast for the Richmond District coming up on sunday. Got to talk about tonight though because tonight and early tomorrow, we have a pretty high fog factor. That fog is going to push well inland so notice the gray over top of almost the entire bay area. It will clear back to the coast if the afternoon but on a one to five scale, tomorrows fog factor will be a 4 thanks to a stronger onshore flow. Now lets talk about why the onshore flow is stronger. Low pressure off to our west, big ridge of High Pressure over the desert southwest, right in between we find a pretty strong push from the chilly pacific ocean. So that ocean influence continues and once again tomorrow well wake up with a lot of cloud cover and temperatures kept down. But by the weekend, once this ridge moves closer to us, its going to limit the onshore flow. If you have plans to maybe play some golf, go out with the kids, play soccer, anything outdoors, maybe an evening barbecue, thumbs up. Weather looking really nice for the weekend. It gets warmer on saturday especially away from the water but tomorrow another relatively chilly day. We wont hit 80 in san jose or concord. 76 napa. 73 santa rosa. I know im not talking about as if its a complaint but its going to be significantly below normal. San francisco 66 your high tomorrow. We warm up on saturday. We warm up more on sunday back to the 90s inland. The warmest day will be on monday and then the first half of next week, we will stay at or above average. Need some rain, not going to get any rain. Hm. We have an el nino in the future. Fingers crossed. There we go. And really when is that going to start . Youre thinking about november. So trick or treat with the kids, then lets talk about el nino. We can hold on until then. I think we can. All right, thanks, paul. You wont find any piglets at this years state fair in sacramento. Thats because of a deadly virus across the country called ped and it kills every baby pig that comes down with it. 8million have already died. We dont want them to be injured or contract that virus and so they wont be on display. However, we will have some pot bellied pigs in the petting zoo so folks can see those and well have larger pigs which are fun. The disease is also causing pork prices to rise.
