Timberlake. One place where the sun is not shining, down in san diego. Bad news for chargers fans. We heard rumors about this yesterday possibly happening. The owners of the chargers making it official. The los angeles chargers. Welcome to the 9. Thinking about what this means for the raiders. Right. Theyre definitely out of l. A. Theyre not going to l. A. And that means that theyre going to try for las vegas. L. A. Is out of the question now. But that new chargers logo though. The l. A. Chargers. Youre out. I dont like it. It looks like the dodgers are a lightning bolt attached to. I think of dan foust. Yeah. The niners played him in the super bowl. I dont like it either. Already im seeing people of leaving their chargers jerseys in front of the headquarters saying i dont need it anymore. You think of the owners for the raiders, mark davis, we will find out soon if they are vegas bound. That would be three nfl teams within 250 miles. It is close. Neighbor the nfl will consider that. Lets bring in Steve Paulson to talk chargers if you want to chime in. What do you think. Im with salon this. You lose a team and its you know, how are they going theyre not an l. A. Team. Come on. Theyre not. But voters had a chance. A few months ago they rejected the hotel tax. You have to understand there are owners who dont want to see the raiders move. There are powerful owners who dont want to see them move. March 26th. Thats the date im hearing is the big vote. I feel for chargers fans. Thats a nowin for them. Lets get to our weather here. We have snow up in lake county. As you probably heard. Things are winding down. The big message is the black ice over the next few days. Joanne as husband works at the geysers. Thank you. 805 weather retweeted it. Thank you. Also on st. Helena, 29. A couple other reports coming in. But it looks like this is about to be on its way out of the picture. Still a winter storm warning out in the sierra nevada. That will continue until this afternoon. Although things are not as crazy as they were earlier. But still there are some areas measuring in feet. Just incredible amounts of snow. I know anywhere from about 60 to 80 inches of snow for some here. Still measuring it. You can see some of that still continuing. Not as wild as a couple days ago. Around 3800 feet. Right below polick pines. You can see that but it is moving out. It looks like things are winding down. Some of the drier air is moving in now. The colder air too. Its only in the 40s. Napa, 43. Kelseyville, 36 degrees. 42 petaluma and novato. The wind direction is out of the north northwest. The low is on its way to Southern California. East and south. But out of the area for us. We will hold on to a few showers. Not completely done. But for the most part, 99 done. 50s on the temps. We will get a break. That is the good news. Look at the lows. Near freezing to even below on saturday. You know what that means, there will be a lot of black ice around. Especially in the higher elevations. So much water coming out of the hills, it wont take much. Thank you, steve. Youre welcome. The flood water continues to spread in guerneville. Alex savidge is joining us live there this morning. And alex, people are hoping that the river will start receding soon here. Reporter yeah. Already we are starting to see the water levels drop up here. Good. Reporter that is good news. There are a lot of neighborhoods surrounded by water, such as this one here. Were on old river road. You can see the antique shop here, quite a bit of standing water outside of it. The Russian River is beginning to slowly recede. That will be a slow process. We do understand that it may be at about flood stage by late tonight. Of course the rain swollen river crested six feet above flood stage yesterday. This was the view from sky fox. You can see a number of neighborhoods just under water. Many of them cut off. A lot of people stayed behind in their places. The river and nearby creeks, they have merged in some spots. And a lot of people are getting around on their boats, their kayaks or canoes. A lot of people evacuated their homes. Many others did stay behind. All in all, homeowners were talking to this morning are glad that the river level is beginning to drop. Truly just a couple more feet would have been significant for us. And it looks like were going to just get away with a bit of mildew now. So we should be good. Reporter and a lot of roads are flooded in this area. Many drivers ignoring the road closed signs and trying to drive through standing water, only to stall out. That is a big concern for rescue crews. Lets bring you back to a live picture. This is a common site. Everywhere you look in this area. This is one of the only ways to get around many neighborhoods. In fact, we know this woman. This is katie. That is katie and her canoe. She gave us a ride just yesterday. She was telling me, guys, that she just took a delivery of groceries to some of her neighbors. Thats what you have going on up in this area. Folks helping each other out, trying to get through the flooding here. And everybody happy that the water level is beginning to drop. Thank you, alex. Live in Sonoma County for us. Highway 37 in marin county in novato remains closed this morning between highway 101 and atherton avenue near the stone creek golf club. Water covered all four lanes. Some abandoned their cars because the water was too deep. No timetable when the road will reopen. I want to mention that chp just tweeted about this. They said they have cited at least one driver who went around the closure and got stuck. So not only did that driver get stuck, but he has a ticket. A mudslide covered 50 feet of one lane on the southbound side yesterday. Crews took hours to clear the road. That made for a miserable evening commute. The biggest problem is they couldnt contain the mud easily. As soon as one section was cleared, morphed muddy mess would slip down on to the road. The sink hole in orinda that opened up yesterday may take three weeks to repair. It opened up on miner road. Two sewer lines also broke and have been replaced. Miner road is shut down. Expect delays in the area. A section of 880 in fremont is back open this morning after it was closed for hours because of a truck crash that caused a hazmat scare. The exit at mission boulevard reopened about an hour ago. A truck had crashed into sandbar he wills at 1 00 this morning. The drive was arrested on dui charges. The truck carried 25 gallons of pool cleaning chemicals. The chp estimated that two gallons of sulfuric acid spilled on to the roadway. A hazmat team was called in to remove it. In a separate crash, two cars collided there right in front of the first crash site.

It is official, the San Diego Chargers are headed back to los angeles. As we mentioned at the top of the screen on the screen is a side by side comparison. The san diego logo, the old one, and the new logo on the right. The chargers tweeted the move about an hour ago. They will ultimately share with the rams their new 2. 6 billion stadium currently under construction in englewood. It has a dodger vibe to it. Yeah. It looks like l. A. Dodgers with a lightning bolt on it. Lets talk about what it means for us at home. It means that the Oakland Raiders will not return to los angeles. While relocating to san diego is an option, davis is commit today moving to las vegas. And down south it seems that chargers fans are not happy. Lets go to Eric Richards who is at chargers headquarters. Eric, paint the scene here. How has it been over the last hour or so. Reporter good morning. I have to tell you, a lot of mixed emotions for so many fans who have been coming to what they have known as chargers park on Murphy Canyon road. The fact that they are no longer the San Diego Chargers and now the los angeles chargers, it is a lot for people to handle. Over the past hour, a lot of fans have been coming up to chargers park and dropping off their apparel. A lot of anger in the air. Five minutes ago somebody dropped off a sign that said rest in peace San Diego Chargers. If we think back 1961 is when they first arrived in san diego. They played 56 seasons here. A lot of people upset. Franklin is a chargers fan. He was notified yesterday by phone. Not exactly what he expected. He says he just bought a home in san diego last year. Theres a lot of assessing to be done among these players. I want to grab a chargers fan real fast and give you a perspective. What is your name. Joseph. Joseph. You have a sign right here. Very angry. I know you were emotional earlier. What are you feeling right now. It is disbelief. This team has been here for 55 years. Ive done everything in my power to go to every single game and go out there as a fan and let them know that they have support. But when you try to leave los angeles like dean did and try to go to carson, that is going to rub people the wrong way. Why do you think that other fans have taken over the stadium. Because you tried to move to los angeles. And he put together a really bad proposition in prop c. It was doomed from the start. We knew that prop c was going to fail. We knew it was going to fail. Last question for you this morning, with the move, now los angeles chargers, will you support them. Reporter absolutely not. I was born and raised in san diego. I grew up to know one thing about san diego sports fans, we do not like los angeles. The raiders were there. The dodgers were there. Why would i support a team that i grew up against to hate. Thank you so much for talking with us this morning. What he just said is basically what everyone is saying this morning. They are not jumping ship. They are san diego locals. They will not go support the los angeles chargers. Overall a lot of action at chargers park in san diego. For now we will send it back to you guys. Talk to us about the Overall Economic impact. It is central san diego. Theres a lot to do in san diego. Talk to me about the feared Economic Impact this move could have. Reporter you know, thats a good question too. Because if you think about it, qualcomm stadium, so many events, chargers related. The fact that so many people buy their memorabilia, buy their signs and everything, its huge. The impact in san diego is very huge. And of course they wanted another stadium in downtown san diego. They said in fact that that would boost the economy even more. So the fact that they did not get that and now that theyre leaving, i think it is worrisome for many people here. What are we going to do in place of those items. So much stuff that was sold. I think it is worrisome in many aspects. This is it. No last reprieve. They are now the l. A. Chargers. Theres nothing that can change that. Is that correct . Reporter that is the case. Yeah. This letter that we received about an hour ago that was posted on the chargers website, dean spanos said this is not what he wanted to do. He fought for so long to keep them here. This is officially signed. Looking at their twitter, they did that instantly. It was San Diego Chargers. Now it is los angeles chargers. So, you know, dean spanos is headed to los angeles to talk to officials there and get it underway. It seems like right now it is official. Reporter Eric Richards outside of chargers headquarters. Thank you for the report. Coming up on mornings on 2 the 9. An east bay firefighter opens up about the days following the oakland warehouse fire.

Owners of buildings that are not zoned for residential use will have 60 days to bring them up to code. The only exceptions are buildings with hazards that are considered life of this threatening. She wants an emergency ordinance to strengthen tenant protections and protect artists from being evict. If you want to read the order it is posted on ktvu. Com. The ghost ship fire is the deadliest fire in oakland and the deadliest mass casualty in the city since 1989. The Fire Recovery and the stories of those who died affected so many. But perhaps some of the people most impacted by the tragic event were the first ones into the building. Ktvus anchor Frank Mallicoat sat down with a fire lieutenant about the days immediately following the fire. I knew it was going to be a tough day. Reporter lieutenant mark tate arrived at the ghost ship warehouse on sunday morning, the day after the fire. He would not return home for three days. Getting into the building was just it was literally a maze. There were pianos and just so much stuff stacked. 10, 20 feet tall, up to the second story. Reporter lieutenant tate says so many pianos, organs and instruments that he lost count. Firefighters had to clear out narrow paths to move around. Lieutenant tate knew there were bodies inside and it didnt take long before they spotted one. As i made my way in, i was greeted with a body victim, 26. Nobody should ever be able to see even one victim. That night, i saw ten. And so i have side. But it still affects me. If. Reporter the most difficult home was when they found alex vega and mikaela gregory. He had his arms wrapped around her and holding her tightly when they died. The floor collapsed underneath them. The couch dropped and rolled over and crashed through the top of this rv parked inside of the warehouse. Firefighters used power tools to cut into the rv. When they turned over the couch, thats when they found the two bodies. It almost looked like they were that they knew they were going to die. And so he was embracing her. For some weird reason, my mind goes right to my wife. Thats who i would do in that situation with my wife, protect her to the very end. And that was a really hard one because thats exactly what he was doing. And he was protecting to the very end. Arm in arm. Reporter at one point, the lieutenant says he walked into this room and shined his flashlight. And for a brief moment, he was horrified by the arms that he saw hanging from the ceiling the dark they looked very real. All of a sudden i saw a hand. And i saw another hand. And i see another hand. I saw four hands. And, again, my heart just stopped. So i called in the coroner. And we went in there. And they were mannequin hands. Reporter most people thought all of the victims would have been burned beyond recognition because of the intensity of the flames. But that was not the case. Everybody
