Winds, 2. 89, her observation, there, kentfield zeroing in on 3, and pacifica at rockway beach. Over an inch and a quarter. Here comes another piece of energy rotating around the trailing piece of energy here, and that will intensify and give us more rain later today, tonight and into saturday. In fact, some of this could be moderate to heavy for a brief period of time. I dont think it will have the energy or anything close to last night, though. Cloud cover continues to roll in. Some of the rain is picking up. Light, steady, certainly from marin county to the north. You can see parts of napa county, Sonoma County, up into lake county. Some oaf that is steady to moderate. Picking up rapidly in western marin county toward novato. And inverness. That will continue through the day. Its either rain or snow. I think i saw truckee has rain. South lake tahoe has snow. Winter storm warning is out. Some of the cool air begins to move in. 50s on the temps. Everybody is in the low to mid 50s. South winds, southeast, going to be blustery conditions. It will not be windy until later on. When this system swings in that will pick up the breeze. 50s, low 60s. Very little sun, a lot of cloud cover, and off and on rain picking up. 7 02, things still quiet or what do you see. Things are looking good given the rain or weather we had overnight, and the slick roads this morning, it could have been a lot worse, but lets take a look at the bay bridge toll plaza because we want to update you on a problem we found out about probably 30 minutes ago. Some of the metering lights were malfunctioning according to the chp. That info just disappeared, so i believe that means that caltrans has figured out the problem, metering lights are functioning again. You can see it doesnt look too bad on the bay bridge toll plaza, maybe about a 15 to 20 minute delay. Taking a look at the east shore freeway as you make your way over to the toll plaza. 23 minutes to the carcinas bridge. No major problems to tell about there. Its also looking pretty empty for this hour. 24 through lafayette heading towards the caldecott tunnel. Time now is 7 03. Lets go back to the desk. All right. We begin with the breaking news reported just a half hour ago from stockholm sweden, we want to take you back there to the scene. The swedish Prime Minister announced that a deadly truck did crash, and it appears to be a terror attack. That truck crashed right into a crowd of people and then into a Department Store. This is again in central stockholm sweden. Radio reports there say three people were killed, and an unknown number of people injured. A Swedish Television network allegation reporting that shots were fire also reporting that shots were fired during the incident. Police suspect that the crash is terror related. There were several deadly attacks involving trucks in europe, of course, last year, including germany, and france, but again, getting more information about this attack in sweden and well continue to update that story. Time is 7 04. We are talking about the weather in the bay area. Rain and windy weather damaged two homes in the Oakland Hills overfight. Ktvus Christien Kafton on the scene in Oakland Hills. Engineers are waiting for, now that its daylight, i know you have been trying to get a better look at whats happening up there. What can you tell us . Reporter we have been up here for hours, and now that the sun has come up, wii getting a bert sense on how much damage were looking at here. Were on aiken road. You can see at least one tree came down, bringing down this power line. As you look in the distance, you can see it appears that part of aikens has collapsed, either some of the mud or earth supporting the road has collapsed. Clearly a lot of work to do up here. East bay mud has some barricades up here, blocking access down the road. We have heard water has been shut off for two dozen homes in the area. At this point, were hearing again that two homes impacted on banning drive by this overnight mud slide and all five homes, though, evacuated in the area while crews worked to figure out exactly just how the slide is progressing. We are expecting some engineers to come out a little bit later on. Neighbors calling for Emergency Responders in the height of last nights windy, rainy storm. When crews arrived they found the hillside had partially given way, bringing down a wall of mud. Firefighters say at least one tree fell into a home and another is in danger of falling. At this point, they say for now, the situation appears to have been somewhat stabilized. Right now, everybodys safe, no injuries, and we dont suspect or expect this to worsen. Coming back to our live picture here. Dave, pam, we want to give you a sense of just how steep this slope it so you can get a sense of why all this rain and wind may have helped collapse down part of this hillside. You can see just how steep the ground is in this area. You can understand how if it gave way, it could have very well slid down to banning drive. We are waiting at this point on those engineers to come on out, give us a better sense on whats going to happen here on aikens road. See whether this road is going to be in fact repaired today. We are waiting on utility crews to come on out and let us know exactly whats going to be happening with this, what appears to be a power line and other utility lines that are down at this point. And again, waiting on engineers to determine exactly just how this slide is still moving, how its impacting those living down slope, so a lot more questions up here in the Oakland Hills, pam and dave. Christien kafton in the Oakland Hills. Thank you. Time is now 7 07. Meantime, almost 43,000 pg e customers still have no electricity. Last night street lights in parts of downtown martinez went out.

Dont forget, you can always get weather updates 24 hours a day by downloading the ktvu weather app. It is free to you in your app store. Another big story this morning. The world is responding to President Trumps decision to launch an attack on an airfield in syria using a barrage of cruise missiles. The 59 cruise missiles were launched from two navy ships in the mediterranean. President trump said the air strike was retaliation from the chemical attack by Syrian Government forces killing more than 80 people, many of them children. Syria, russia and iran have all condemned the u. S. Action. Many european and arab countries have expressed support. Tonight i call on all civilized nations to join us in seeking to end the slaughter and bloodshed in syria. And also to end terrorism. And faced with this first test of the slaughter of nearly 100 people including children, from a gas attack by the regime, the Trump Administration has acted and we believe rightly, and we fully support that action. Now, we learned this morning that the u. S. Gave russia advanced notice of the attack. Syria says the missile strike killed 7 people. The speaker of the house had this to say about the syria air strikes. Paul ryan tweeted quote, this action in syria was appropriate and just. He continued, these Tactical Strike strikes make clear that the assad regime can no longer count on america in action as it carries out atrocities. Nancy pelosi called the air strikes a proportional response to the use of chemical weapons. She said the crisis in syria will not be resolved by one night in irvines and the killing will in air strikes and the killing will not stop. Joining us now our political analyst joe tuman thank you for coming back. One reaction to focus on is how russia is reacting and the implications for north korea. Lets talk about how russia has responded. Vladimir putin has called for a meeting. I dont know if hes going to get one or not, an emergency meeting in the United Nations to look into what hes labeled an act of aggression against syria. Russia in syria is very much the port facility its gotten, which it regards as something it wants to keep. Its also worth noting in this reaction from russia that they have also made claims about a very small number of plains being destroyed on this air base and at the same time, allegations that perhaps some of the dead, because of this air strike, include children. Although, i dont know why children would be an an air force base necessarily. So you have to sort of take some of what they say with a healthy grain of salt. One quick thing as you mentioned, that the russians were notified ahead of time, russia has had a surface to air Missile Barrage that extends basically a no fly zone over the area where the tomahawk missile was struck, and it was not activated last night. We have to wonder in the 24 hours why wasnt it used to try and knock out some of these missiles and aggression. Certainly the missiles are useful if were talking about jets going in, but you can use them to try and target tomahawks in this way. I dont know how effective it would be, but it could. Youre suggesting perhaps russia allowed it to happen. Yes. And i think we have to perhaps filter some of their reaction through that context. Its perhaps mock aggression, or mock reaction in some ways, and doing what they have to say for assads benefit. As dave touched upon, you cant help but wonder what north korea might be thinking or reacting what does that mean for those relations. Well, lets throw into that pot, not just north korea, but iran. What is teheran thinking about this today, and i think the answer is that when the secretary of state and the secretary of defense, were going to reconsider our options on this. The statement that was made in north korea when the secretary of state was busy in south korea, military options have not been ruled out. This is a message going to all those places without question, and in north korea, we have someone whos testing our will not just with missiles but with intercontinental ballistic missiles, presumably one that could reach our shores in california here. Now, joe you raised the issue that this may also be seen as a deflection of all the focus on possible complicity by the Trump Administration with russia. All of a sudden that is not the main topic of discussion. Well, it has changed the story, and we know anytime historically that president s take strong executive action, supposedly under the guise of National Security and the president did try and make this chemical weapons attack also related to our National Security, that were very careful and historically in this country, at having people in the Congress Line up behind the president typically. You even saw nancy pelosi saying proportional response. We dont want our adversaries to hear multiple voices. We want to project a single stance on this so were not getting confusing. Youre getting that today as well. Going forward, the question is what is the next step. Is this about regime change, for example, and if thats going to be the case, how long are we going to be involved here. Whats our strategic interest in syria. We have a lot of players over there we have to deal with, and a lot of people confused by our reaction right now. Were going to continue to follow that all morning. We have to switch gears for a second before you have to go, about neil gorsuch and thats the other story happening in washington, d. C. A lot of people, a lot of lawmakers on both sides of the aisle, pretty emotional about this, because this is a real change Going Forward. It is. And the emotion is not because hes going to be confirmed. He will be confirmed. Its because theyve done away with the filibuster that was a tool that was in some ways looked at as obstructionist by some, but with something thats guaranteed in the culture of the senate, which is different than the house. Only 100 people in the senate. An era of spirit of bipartisanship. The idea that you had to reach across the aisle and get somebody on the other party to vote with you. When we had Supreme Court nominees, at least votes from the opposition party, it did suggest a message to the American People that more peoples views should be represented in this because those senators represented other people from other perspectives. Thats not going to be the case anymore. Going forward, it is simple majority. 50 plus 1, and today its the republicans who have going to have the benefit of that, but at some point in the future it will be the democrats again, and youll hear republicans lamenting this option. Whoevers in the white house will get to pick the nominee. Assuming that person has a majority in the senate. Yes. And thats the trick here. It will happen. It will happen. Mark my words, harry reid lamented this, after he did this for lower court appointments. Mitch mccome will probably be gone from the senate but he will lament this at some point in the future. Two very important topics today, and were going to see you again as we get closer to that vote. Its supposed to happen at 8 30 this morning. Well have you back onto talk about that. And back to the other story that we were talking about with him, our question to you is do you support the president s decision to strike syria, yes or no. Let us know what you think by voting on our ktvu twitter page. You can comment on our ktvu Facebook Page. Love to hear your reaction to all of this. Our time is 7 16. Three people were hurt in San Francisco overnight. More than 20 people forced out of their homes by a big fire. Coming up at 7 30, youll get a live report on the damage that was caused and also the efforts to get neighbors out. Nessman 2 weve gone over the numbers several times, and. Businessman 1 yea, yea, yea. You know what im craving right now . Businessman 1 over speaker guacamole and bacon. Audio tech we got a craving go go go music crashing cravings in the crave van. Jacks gonna crash your crave jack hey guys, try my guacamole and bacon chicken sandwich with all white meat chicken, guacamole and pepperjack cheese. Businessman 1 thanks jack. Wait. Were on the 18th floor. How did you get here . Jack hard work. Jack vo you crave it, we serve it. Try my new guacamole and bacon chicken sandwich. Music crave van welcome back to mornings on 2. Its 7 18. Everybody in california, all of us will have to pay more to drive. Last night, the state senate and the state assembly approved a plan to raise taxes to pay for road repairs. Now, the plan calls for an extra gas tax of 0. 12 a gallon. Also vehicle registration fees will go up by 25 to 175 a year depending upon the kind of car you drive. There will also be a 100dollar annual fee on zero emission vehicles beginning in the year 2020. Now, republicans criticized the plan, asked for more money from taxpayers. Theres already a high tax burden. Those who are property stricken in california the worst, because its regress i, higher regressive regressive tax, registration fees are going up. An average family could cost 3 to 400 a year, and yet we already have billions of dollars that should be spent on transportation. That has been ignored by the majority party. Governor jerry brown has supported this bill since it was unveiled next week. The gas tax will begin november 1st. The vehicle registration will be effective january 1st. Governor brown will be holding a News Conference today, talking about the passage of the bill at the state capitol. Its 7 20. Starts getting busier on the roads right now, definitely the toll plaza. Its getting a little busier but overall things are looking pretty good, maybe because its friday, friday light. Maybe because its spring break. Youre going to have a good drive on most south bay freeways. The only issue is around 101 because they were towing an earlier crash that happened 280 north near 10th street. That has been moved out of the way, but its backing things up a little bit in all directions around 101. Heading over not contra costa county, highway 4, not too bad as you go head westbound towards concord, and taking a look at the bay bridge toll plaza, it is a lot lighter than what we typically see for this time of the morning. We had a report about a traffic hazard in the middle of the three fast track lanes, but judging by the looks of it, it appears that punish may have been resolved. Were going to take a look at the golden gate bridge, also light as you head towards San Francisco. Time is 7 21. Ill check in with steve. The weather isnt done yet. Not by a long shot. We have a ways to go. The strong power house system has lifted northward. The front has stalled out. Theres already rain moving in. The impressive jet stream in april, it continues to enhance and bring in cloud cover, and theres a secondary system trailing. Sausalito, 1. 75 inches of rain the last 24 hours. San rafael yell san rafael, 2 1 2, or 2 1 3. Santa rosa has pretty good rain right now n parts of the area. Ill show you on the radar. Kentfield, i think they will get 3 soon. Pacific at rock away beach. And glenn allen over 2. San francisco, officially 92 100. Our observer, had 1. 10. Boulder creek, 2. 78. Satellite andsaratoga hills, 2 1 3. Novato, an inch 2 3. Berkeley lab, an inch and a half. And san ramon, an inch and a quarter. You remember we said about 3 4 of an inch to 4, and the wind, gusts 60 plus. That was not bad, all things considered. I know sometimes, you guys are hyping, no we were not. This one had all the ingredients and they did come together. If one doesnt, it doesnt materialize, but it did. A secondary system, taking shape. I try not to get too technical. This is going to take the shape of a comma cloud, cold air wrapping in behind it. The last system did not. This system is intense but short duration. Out ahead of that we are getting light rain. T
