Has burned 20,000 acres one of the larger fires burning right now in the north bay. Just to the south there is a fire burning near sears point in napa county crews are battling the atlas fire and the Silverado Country Club has been evacuated. These are live pictures from santa rosa. One resident described the experience as a firestorm. He said his neighborhood was gone. Skyfox shows that homes are burning right now over this neighborhood. You can see what appears to be destruction down below in this particular part of santa rosa. Alex savidge has been reporting for us and a number people have said they left with nothing but the clothing on their back. Reporter yes and people are still evacuating or preparing to evacuate. This fire is sweeping across the city. We are now on freedom lane right off of san miguel avenue. This is the scene behind us on the lefthand side you can see several homes from here to the end of the block destroyed by the fire. As we swing around to the other directi
More crowded. Its a little more congested but we do not have a huge backup on the east shore. On 80 westbound driving from the cockiness bridge to the macarthur maze is 20 minutes which is pretty good for this major freeway. Especially given what weve had the last few days. Traffic at the toll plaza has filled in. Thats not going to surprise anyone but its not too bad as you drive through the area. This is also a look at highway 101 in San Francisco. That looks good approaching the 80s split. There have been no major problems on interstate there have been no major problems on interstate 880 as you drive through. We have a crash on Norris Canyon road in the dublin canyon. If that is your commute area, Norris Canyon at went with.

Again, its a hit and miss. We will pick up the system and its going drop south 4th 00 to 8 00 to 10 00. Going up to the lake county and parts of sanoma county. You can see that in fremont and theres not a loot, but a little bit too. Once this system begins to go through, it just gives us the light rain. The heavier rain is on the way. Thats going give us a mostly cloudy day and light rain picking up this afternoon and tonight. The evening commute will be a bare more than the morning commute. Here is the man he is looking at his screen. That makes us nervous. Yeah when you do this for a living you say everything looks fine, but then something pops up. Right now were looking at the latest when i know it comes to road sensor s and the data that we get from the east shore freeway. It says 41 minutes. That just went up from 40 minutes. Things change by the moment. Average speed is 28 miles an hour. Now, we did have an aearlier accident on the carquinez bridge, so we have slow traffic as wel
Steve, for the most part we have a decent commute. Over night we have one big problem. I do want to mention that traffic starting off on the east shore freeway does look good and its dry. Remember steve mentioned if it does rain tomorrow, you really need to give yourself extra time. If it does rain for the morning commute tomorrow it will be a big deal for the traffic. It will be a lot of slow traffic. It always happens that way. There is no reason to believe it would be otherwise. This is a look at the the bay bridge toll plaza and the traffic looks good. I want to put it on the map here. Interstate 880 a deadly collision. Breaking news out of oakland where all but one lane of southbound 880 is open. Paul chambers is there with more on what chp says might have caused the car to flip on to the other side of the freeway. Paul. Reporter that is correct. I want to show you the traffic. Its down to one lane here. It is slow going in this area. We are up on the highway. I will tell you this
