Product to sell. Reporter he already lost 40,000 from canceled orders. He estimates he is losing a 1,000 a day during slowdown. Its already lasted several weeks. Manmade disaster. We couldnt survive. Reporter the Lunar New Year is coming up and extra orders especially for seasonal products are coming in. If they came in late, they are not able to use it no matter what. Reporter useless after new years . They are basically useless. Reporter over in san carlos this company is looking to sue the port and union after 1. 5 million worth of product has been sitting in the port since december 15. President obama could say go back to work or ship out and stop this nonsense or fix it. Reporter shoppers will soon see the effects of the work slowdown. Thats because importers like taylor say they will have to raise their prices by 10 . Now they have to ship their containers down to mexico and then use trains to bring those containers back into the bay area. Veronica . All right. Da, thank you. The situation at the port of oakland is a complicated one. There are actually three players involved. There is a port of oakland itself that leases out its terminal to shippers. The labor dispute is between the Pacific Maritime association which represents the shippers and the International Longshore union. The union represents the dock workers. You can call it construction frustration. A project in san jose that is eventually supposed to help ease commute traffic is right now making drivers more upset. As kpix 5s devin fehely tells us, this is all after the city asked the commuters what they wanted. Devin. Reporter yeah, some neighbors call it the price of progress. Others simply say it is a big pain. But construction on bart in san jose behind me has turned a once busy thoroughfare into a dead end. Noise and rumbling. Land something completely closed. Its a pain. Reporter ironically neighbors say construction of the longawaited bart extension to san jose has made the very traffic it is supposed to ease worse, much worse, in the meantime. What has the impact been on traffic . Its been a disaster i think. Just made it worse. Reporter for the next nine months the vta shut it down at sierra road while it tunnels under the intersection paving the way for bart. The vta says the pain while real is temporary while the gain for commuters will be significant and permanent. The project has significant benefits both for relieving congestion on one of the most notoriously congested commute corridors, the i880i680 corridor. Reporter the vta says it gave neighbors a choice completely shut down the road and finish construction in roughly nine months or leave it partially open and double the construction time. But in the meantime commuters and makes say closing the street has caused a Ripple Effect increasing traffic on nearby streets doubling or tripling commute times. Its something we have to endure for right now. Reporter construction typically continues until roughly 9 00 at night. The vta says they believe that the commuters are still in an adjustment period and will eventually realize that this street is closed and make alternate plans. In san jose, devin fehely, kpix 5. California drives may be drivers may be asked to pay a price just to drive on the roads. Elizabeth cook joins us. Drivers are asking to pay more. Reporter thats right. We already pay tolls and tax but they arent cutting it when it comes to repairing the states aging infrastructure. Some lawmakers are proposing a road user charge. Assembly speaker toni atkins says it would be a 52 annual fee for drivers. It would generate 800 million a year for road repairs. And an extra 1 billion that would be put back into the states general fund. Its the assemblys ambitious proposal to generate 10 billion in transportation funding over the next five years. I think the highway funds are ample right now and i dont see any reason to pay anything extra. Some drivers werent to happy about the proposals. Others say it would help decrease the wear and tear of the cars. With 33 million drivers on the road now, lawmakers say the fee would make for a smoother ride for the next generation of drivers. Veronica . Thank you, liz. The road use your charge would require a twothirds vote for approval. Well, clouds for now but soon rain will be falling on to the bay area. And a lot of it. Its the rain that we have been waiting for, for weeks. Maybe more than a month. Our ryan takeo is in the north bay where they are expecting to get hit with rain first. But chief meteorologist paul deanno is here with the timing of the storm. The teaming will be delayed because as of right now the timing will be delayed because as of right now its in ukiah. It will come south but it will take time before steady rainfall comes to marin county, San Mateo County and alameda county, which are all dry right now. Just a few drips of rain in north Sonoma County and that is it. That said, when the rain begins its going to come in a tonight and well see by this time tomorrow several inches of rainfall in the north bay. Likely enough to cause some isolated flash flooding so you in marin, napa and Sonoma County are under a Flash Flood Warning and the rain will also come with wind. A wind advisory is in effect for the entire bay area. Well see widespread wind gusts to 40 Miles Per HourHigher Elevation wind gusts to get as strong as 60 Miles Per Hour. So the exact timing we asked futurecast and at 10 00 tonight frankly thats not much rain out there just a few showers in north Sonoma County. The rain begins to pick up but stays north of the golden gate at 8 00 tomorrow morning, but then tomorrow afternoons commute thats going to be sloppy very wet and very windy. That rain is going to be coming down in buckets for that drive home tomorrow. So this time tomorrow will be the bulls eye of wave one of the storm. Well talk about how much rain to expect on friday and more over the weekend coming up. Thank you. Kpix 5s ryan takeo joins us live now from healdsburg. Ryan, you heard paul he says its going to come down hot and heavy for especially north bay residents. People do not want to see a repeat of what happened last time though when it all seemed to come at one time and really caused some problems. Reporter especially up here in healdsburg. A lot of lessons learned. The main street here in downtown turned into a river december 10 around there. Several businesses flooded this flower shop and realty office. They have plastic bags and sandbags. A couple of months ago, Vanguard Properties they just moved in, they moved in, in october. They had no clue it would be like this. They say damage cost them thousands. So you bet theyre ready this time. The pump is ready to pump the water away from the building if we need to. Reporter four to six inches through monday night. Since Christmas Eve its rained once and january is the wettest month in the area. They are ready, theyre getting ready, this cobbler right here is getting ready. And so they do not want all this rain to come at once like it did last time. Hopefully its spread out over the next couple of days. Ken . Taking the good with maybe some bad on the way. Ryan takeo in healdsburg, thank you. Storm drains in San Francisco cleared out ready to go for this arena. Workers use highpowered vacuum trucks and hoses to clean out any debris that has built up.

A warning tonight about a prowler on campus at San Francisco state. Police say he preyed on a student and sexually assaulted her. Kpix 5s Christian Hartnett is on campus where students have been put on alert. Christian. Reporter yeah, an absolutely terrifying moment for this student. The attack lasted about a minute but it must have felt much longer than that as the attacker held a weapon during it all. This woman started crying during the attack but police say the guy told her to shut up. University police got the call from the woman sometime after midnight last night. She had been walking on campus between burke hall and the Student Health center. According to police, the woman saw the man sitting on a bench and start to follow her and he pulled her into the bushes and held a sharp object to her side before lifting her shirt and grabbing her breasts and groin area. Police say he ran off and is still on the loose. Today students are rattled to hear what happened. Obviously we have to bring someone walk me home. Its unfortunate because would you think you would hope that your home in the area around university is safe. Reporter University Vice president of Student Affairs and enrollment says police will step up patrols around campus as the results of this attack and tonight the university is stressing that all students walking on campus at night take safety precautions especially when on campus at night.

The dollar signs on the stock market today for some local tech giants. And money for vets. Thats their pitch. But only on 5 we asked where the money is really going. And snakes once smuggled into the United States now rescued. How a bay area zoo has become the saving grace for some big name Bay Area Companies record their earnings today. Allen martin is here to break it down. Reporter it was a good day if you were twitter or gopro but pandora saw shares drop. Lets start with twitter. Shares spiked nearly 10 after market. The online social media giant nearly doubled quarterly revenue. And thats good news for twitter, especially after the company was seeing user growth lag. Now to gopro. Shares were up 14 in after hours trading. This is after the san mateo based company sold almost 2. 5 million cameras in the fourth quarter. Good holiday season. Its revenue hit nearly 634 million, nine percent higher than expect. But for online music giant pandora the numbers are disappointing shares down 22 after the Internet Radio companys quarterly revenue fell below expectations but overall, the market responded well today. The third big gain this week, the Dow Jones Industrial average up nearly 212 points. Nasdaq up almost 48 and s p up 21. Another factor for investors, the price of oil recovering a bit. Up 2 to more than 50 a barrel. So investors are looking for the trend to tip. You and i are not. The market not for the weak of heart right now. No. We have been up and down down and then back up. Always a ride. Hang on. Thank you. A south bay stink is so bad theres now a lawsuit to clean up what some say is the culprit. Residents in milpitas and fremont are banding together to sue newby island landfill. A law firm representing homeowners says the odor from the landfill is forcing people to stay inside and close their windows. The lawsuit is seeking damages for nearly 10,000 homes. Newby island landfill says the stink is not from them. In oakland, if you report Illegal Dumping you could get paid for your vigilance. The city is launching a new program to give rewards to witnesses of people dumping their furniture and trash. People can get up to half of all the penalties collected from the enforcement. Speed limit for just about every, single street in the city of San Francisco could be dropping down to 20 Miles Per Hour. Those streets with higher speed limits would have it reduced by 5 Miles Per Hour. The city is looking for ways to slow drivers down to improve safety. The city officials point to the success of a similar plan thats being used in london. Driving 20 miles an hour might delay you a little bit from where youre trying to get. But if you quantify how many lives it saves and how many fewer injuries, i would weigh the Public Health interests above personal convenience. Turns out the state of california would have to approve a move like that. Opposition from drivers could be fierce. Contraband smuggled into the u. S. Is confiscated, then sent to the bay area. Not to be destroyed but saved. Kpix 5s don ford shows us how the oakland zoo is stepping up to help again. Reporter these are amazon tree boas, smuggled on a ship from south america to miami. Part of the illegal International Exotic pet trade. Federal agents found them. Now the oakland zoo is trying to save them. They really are dehydrated. They had ticks that had to be handpicked off them. They were not in Good Condition at all. Reporter smuggling exotic animals into the country is a federal crime and much like drugs or counterfeit goods the animals become a key part of prosecuting the case. They start out as evidence. Once the case is resolved, they are released permanently into our care. And at that point, we can either put them on exhibit or send them to another zoo. He was confiscated. Reporter once stuffed in a box now an animal ambassador for visiting kids. This cockatoo freed from smugglers is trying to make a buck. [ whistling ] reporter oakland has several animals from the trade like the Sonoran Desert toads with toxic glands from a case in colorado. Hardly a pet. He doesnt like to be cuddled. Reporter theres a rare blonde gibbon named gladys. She was seized on texas and now on permanent display. The zoo is careful. They have to be quarantined and kept separate until the vets can really get to em, take care of them, make sure they are healthy. All right. Good bird. Reporter this crime story however does have a silver lining. Now all the confiscated animals are safe. And the zoo has a few more unusual exhibits. At the oakland zoo, don ford, kpix 5. When the rain hits the Russian River will be on the rise. Been doing that since it was a river. Heres what it looked like during the december storms. This is the entrance to Johnson Beach where i learned to swim so many moons ago. You can see the water past the parking area. Same thing at steelhead beach where the river came up more than 20 feet. A park restroom was nearly under water. Check in now with paul deanno. It will rain tomorrow morning. We have been talking about this for a week. So its like come on, already its going to pour tomorrow. We need all the rain. Highs today every day this year warmer than average and today was the same. Morgan hill, oakland 67 for you. Fremont 65. San jose 68. Where is the rain . Already an inch of rain in eureka. It rained as far south as ukiah and showers will spread south overnight tonight becoming a steady soaking rainfall. We will likely see some flash flooding in napa, marin and sonoma counties. I dont think it will be as bad as it was in early december but it will be wet in the north bay with rainfall totals by tomorrow night upward of a half inch of rain in a few spots. We could use moisture. Look at the snowpack. Take a look at the numbers. 21 of average the california snowpack. The problem is, when its a Pineapple Express or an atmospheric river, its warm and its wet, but its not that snowy. Look at tahoes high tomorrow. 54 degrees at lake level. It will be windy and the wet, rainsnow level at 8,000 feet. It will be wet but not adding to the snowpack. Wave number one gets here tomorrow. Im numbering them because tomorrow isnt the only windy wet day. Well get showers on saturday. On sunday heres comes wave 2. It will be a sunday soaker. Not as much as december. But a lot of rain coming over a three or fourday period. Highs tomorrow windy and wet and 62 degrees for you in san rafael. Vallejo 63. Mountain view 65 degrees. Extended forecast, scattered showers, thats it on saturday. Kind of a break. Sunday the rain moves back in. Monday morning the showers are gone. And sunshine is back next tuesday, wednesday, thursday. So we have two commutes tomorrow. I think the majority of the morning commute tomorrow around San Francisco will be dry. But it is the evening commute tomorrow where things are really going to pick up and i think the drive home from work tomorrow is going to be quite sloppy so if you can leave work early, dr. Deanno said go home early. Just dont go to work tomorrow. Call in sick. I think that may be overstepping dr. Deannos authority. Sorry about that. Dont want to mess with your prescription.
