of one or both of these fires. they were caused by the driver running over metal debris and the roadway. that degree punctured the undercarriage of the cars. damaging the batteries and causing a storm of reaction that led to a fire. in each case, the car one the driver of the damage and all the drivers got out without an injury. the investigation affects more than 13,000 cars sold in the west. ceo elon musk, trying to stay ahead of the story, says in a plot post that he asked the fed's to investigate and add to that the model as catches fire at a lower rate than its gas power competition. he also announced the cars are going through a software change to make the ride higher on the roads and that tesla is amending the car's warranty to cover fire damage. he also treated this morning in

to start us off. >>george: we are still tracking the one that started which was are sick alert here on milpitas 1680 north bound for it family better not i can still believe when they first put out this alert they thought they would have it cleared and 45 minutes and this is sworn half hours later and we are still contending with the worst conditions of the morning because they've shut down the three right-hand lanes of interstate 680 north bound at the montague expressway. they're trying to stay on the road. this just took a much much a long run than anyone had anticipated. it's part of the reason why one no one is still so badly backed up because the connecting ramp onto 680 north bound has backed up onto 101. two 80 is no longer slow through downtown san jose a 17 is not a good ride. our other big hot spot is the more ran a ride with drive times well over an hour south of bound and this time the back up lasted all the way to temper around boulevard with an accident that occurred over two hours ago we are still dealing with the residual effects. we are still looking as slow going for the bay bridge near westbound which was backed up through the macarthur maze and the ride to the san mateo bridge as we've been watching it for over an hour-and-a-half was contending with stop and go conditions permitted its easing and it now but we could still see some slowing again at the toll plaza and it does take over an hour for this bridge to unwind. here at the golden gate bridge, it looks like it's moving at a " smoother. the traffic isn't. the tent to the weather center with an update on the rain. here is your cup. >>erica: come morning george. yes let's take a look at storm tracker 4. we are dealing with the extent of the rain which is north of the golden gate bridge. the other rain has pretty much passed by. religious portions of highway 101 for your ride out of petaluma down toward no vital and highway 37. slick roadways definitely out there and probably the source of many accidents. as we take a look at futurecast 4, you notice until the 3:00 or later this afternoon we are expecting this body showers ride around the macarthur maze and for those of you driving across the central freeway. why ran across portions of highway 4. as it but the clock into motion, the rain will really ran up in intensity. the 6:00 this evening a lot of folks on the roadways and ran will pick up a lot more for it take a look at the areas of pretty heavy rain for those driving back into santa rosa. the rain will taper off for the overnight hours of we are back and it tomorrow. we have a series of storms. we could actually see some thunderstorms and with this all said and done it expects about an inch of the north bay and a half an inch for the rest. temperatures right now and the '50s as we head into the afternoon. expect low 60s for the east bay shoreline not a high of 58 in livermore expected in livermore. in terms of your extended forecast, the 7 day around the bay showers will continue until about thursday morning bridge past that we are back into the sunshine with warmer conditions into the weekend. in fact, by monday we are back in the '70s for some of the warmest inland spots. >>mark: watching wall street who winners and losers. we are talking about tesla and two cars out of 13,000 have caught on fire. the ceo not too happy about the media attention >>: he saying everything right. nhtsa will likely to accept a proposed remedy that he has already thrown out there of raising the vehicle a little bit through software changes. because the first crashes were not because of the design flaw but because of the collision. stock guy says by on the news news that hit the stock but i'm loving this story. there's a big investigation. it's critic of stocks to go from 190 down to $120 a share to see a lot of upside. the frost is out of it which is good and buyers are starting to step back and. i don't like it for your dinner money are for your mom's the money sensationalizing the events aggressively. they don't have a demand issue so you're still buying a very expensive stock based on $15 billion market cap for a company that sells 20,000 cars a year. it's crazy but this is what you're hoping for in that case. >>mark: let's talk about campbell's soup. >>: millennial want fresh food. when they go to the supermarket they go left or right

the city have a trust for needy employees bridge to say it's your around the state asked employees to care about other employees with the pr on this one doesn't feel right >>mark: and there's been a lot of protests of their ad into law. and taxes. taxes of the u.s. government raising a lot more money >>: this year some taxes have already starting to give up. top tax rates are increasing. medical deductions medical tax increases for those who make over 200,000. bottom line is three trillion plus dollars. i suppose that's a good news because it's telling you the economy is doing something. i
