. now at 11:00. a kick boxing tech worker becomes an unlikely hero. >> sent him flying. >> how he teamed up with a perfect stranger at the perfect time to save an elderly plan from a knife-wielding attacker. a history-making move to remove trump from colorado ballot. could california be next. we have a storm coming in just in time for the morning commute. from kpix this is the late news with sara donchey on cbs news bay area.

hello, i'm sara donchey alongside paul heggen. we hope you did not like the break from the rain too much. that was it, paul t is about to start ramping up again just in time for a lot of us to hit the road and head back into work. >> right. >> if you have the option to work from home tomorrow i would exercise that option. >> yes. since the ground is wet, there is a close call in sonoma county. 230 foot tree uprooted and grazed a house. it took downpour lines and smashed into a fire hydrant, luckily the house only had a little damage. the tree was supposed to be removed next month. during a break in the rain we saw people filling up sandbags in livermore to hold back all of the flooding when the heavier stuff rolls in. paul is talking about staying home for that early morning commute because it sounds like a lot of the leaf rain will be around that time? >> right, the morning commute will be a mess. always a mess to begin with but more so when there is a rain and even more so when there is heavy rain. in

the process of moving closer to us as we speak right now. we look at the doppler, talking about approach number two. it is making its way closer and closer to the coast. hitting the coast of the north bay as we speak. zooming in for a closer look at the first plume of heavier rainfall followed up by more of that heading through the rest of tonight into tomorrow morning, coming down at a good clip. towards clover dale and hitting the coast of marin county and sonoma county as well. for the rest of us, talking lighter, light to moderate rain showers continuing through the next several hours, more rain showers happening in the santa cruz mountains as well. we zoom out we see a band of heavier rain steadily inching its way closer and closer to the coast. the problem is, the heavier downpours moving south to north. the line, it is slow she nudged closer to it. we can track it with future cast, a little earlier than what we

anticipated for the heaviest rain to hit the majority of the coastline for the bay area. likely most of us are sleeping at 3:00, 4:00 in the morning, the rain continuing with drive time for moderate to occasional rainfall making its way up to the morning. continuing through the afternoon. it looks like a mess on the roads generally throughout the day on wednesday. adding up more rain on top of what we accumulated. here are the latest numbers for how much we added up since the rain started on sunday. talking about almost just short of an inch of rain in san jose. that is the lowest number on the map. between an inch and an inch and a half. just an inch total for redwood city. more than that along the coast and half moon bay. approaching 2 inches highest in north bay, up in elevation and farther to the north and closer to the coast. three inches of rain so far around santa rosa. of course, all of the rain helped to help erode our rainfall deficit. we

are at 20-40% of average rainfall heading into the system. now we are up to 50-75% of average rainfall and will continue to erode that deficit as we head through the next 24 hours. taking a longer look at future cast and tracking the end of this rainy weather pattern this round of it coming up. >> we will pay attention, paul, thank you. >> what happens when a tech worker teams up with an off duty cop, an australian and a couple other good samaritans, they stop crime in san francisco. he told us he heard a cry for help and it turned into a chase and a take down of the guy who attacked an elderly man with a knife. as he told betty yu he was in the right place in the right time with the right people. >> all began here just outside of marin amidel school after 5:00 p.m. a good samaritan witnessed a struggle between the victim and a would be car theft armed with a knife.

>> starting to figure it out. going to tackle the guy? no, i am just going to knock him down. like a crow hop, just like a kick. >> reporter: san francisco native, jesse hunt, who works at zoom, was walking home with a friend in the marina when he jumped into action. >> i hear somebody yelling out, i need help. i am being robbed, i have been stabbed. the guy is trying to take my car. i looked at my friend madison and there is a guy in a scuffle with another guy. >> the victim, 74-year-old man seen in this photo. jesse yelled at the suspect to drop the knife that prompted the attacker to take off on chestnut street so he chased him. >> as i was running up to him he jumped off and pulled a knife out at me. i backed off and then he started zig-zagging at the street and went towards people at the bus stop. i was kind of like this is my one chance to take him down. knife

in the left hand, keys to the car was in the right. i sized it up and put my foot there. >> reporter: jesse has been taking kick boxing for about a year. it disarmed the suspect who then pulled out a second knife. jesse was able to grab the stolen car keys after another chase through part of the san francisco public library, more help arrived. including from the victim himself who caught up with the group an off duty federal officer seen in a hat and two other witnesses. together, they held down the suspect until the police arrived at bay and webster streets. >> one thing that i would love people to takeaway from this is stuff is going to happen in the city. it is always going to happen in any city. you can not take it upon yourself to jump in and take action when you see something going down. >> the attacker has been identified as 35-year-old man, he was booked into jail on an active warrant out of san

francisco. along with other charges. >> it is a snap decision that worked out. you know, i do recognize that he could have a gun. he could of had tear gas on him. i got lucky. a lot of people would have done something. >> wow. that was not the only story of people taking matters into their own hands to stop crime. a store manager in place anthill was so fed up with people breaking in he tried it all. hiring security guard, installing 50 cameras and then came the big test. a group of six masked robbers forced their way inside of the estates consignment store. security video shows they rushed the security case with sledge hammers in their hands, then, things took a turn. >> i let them know i have a gun. you know, be careful. and then, they dropped the sledge hammer, they got scared and they run out. >> robbers took off in two get away cars just as the cops showed up. the police followed them out of the lot. we asked

if they ever arrested anyone they can not comment because it is an ongoing investigation. >> there have been a lot of first when it comes to former president trump. this time, target of the first of its kind ruling with the colorado supreme court deciding to kick him off of ballot in 2024. the reasoning? the constitution so-called insurrection clause. >> he is by far the most popular candidate for president in the gop. you will not see his name on the ballot in colorado. >> we are just 27 days away from iowa's first in the nation. we are going to win the iowa caucuses and then we are going to crush crooked joe biden next november. >> reporter: former president trump took to the stage in iowa soon after the supreme court barred him from the state's 2024 ballot. the court made up entirely of democratic appointees said trump is not eligible for the job under the constitution insurrection clause. in a move surprising to no one, the campaign promised to appeal to the u.s. supreme

court. a case that santa clara university professor is preparing to weigh in on himself. >> while i am going to argue to the supreme court is this is not a political question it is a legal question and you the supreme court should really be the ones to decide whether or not donald trump is eligible to be president under the 14th amendment. >> gop voices are already calling on them to reverse the colorado decision like ron decant whois described it as an abuse of judicial power -- desantis described it as abuse of judicial power. >> i believe in voters having the right to decide but in a constitutional democracy. they can not pick someone born outside of the united states or under 35 years old. 14th amendment that says you can not pick someone who aided in insurrection that is part of the constitution.

>> reporter: trump is only off of the ballot in colorado for now, other states could follow suit. but california probably won't any time soon. >> likely implication for california is california sits back and waits to see what the u.s. supreme court says. >> here is what we have seen in other states. michigan judge just ruled congress should decide if trump should stay on ballot and they refused to bar anyone else from the ballot. what better way to wait out the apocalypse than in paradise. mark zuckerberg and a top secret project in the middle of an island. >> i am not going to be a fan boy but i am being real. we know steph cure sethe greatest shooter ever. is it time to bring him into the crowded room discussion for greatest player ever. he just cooled down the hottest team of the game. all right, the next one has

the ick factor. it could save us. signing off on toilet and tap water. we take a sip. and the land of fire and ice leading in the fire direction tonight . this is just fascinating to see nature in action. i just, it is just something like a movie.

welcome back. tourists who

went to iceland to see the northern lights is getting more than they bargained for from deep under ground. there follows weeks of earthquakes in the area. the nearest town was evacuated long before the lava started flowing. so far it is not flowing that way. still, people who want to see it are being warned to give it a lot of space. >> it is just fascinating to see just nature in action. i just, it is, it is just like something from a movie. >> i think he is excited about this. >> as crazy as this all looks it is not expected to put up the kind of ash cloud that can disrupt air travel. there is a lot of lure surrounding doomsday bunkers in the ultrarich and powerful people that own them just in case society collapses and that is what mark zuckerberg is building in hawaii. the meta ceo is building a 500 foot foot

under ground bunker under a compound. behind a concrete and steel door that can withstand blasts and have an escape hatch. the report says it will have its own food and energy sources and an 18 foot water tank. it is all very hush, hush, everyone working on the project has apparently signed mdas. zuckerberg and his wife snatched up 1500 acres on kuihi. they own more of the island than the local government does. we a no trespassing sign. when you flush a toilet the water can end up in a lot of places. soon, your kitchen faucet. that is after state regulators sign off on new rules for recycling waste water into drinking water. >> that is enough for me not to

be into it. >> understand the he'station but if you think about it, water actually already goes through the natural water cycle. we are speeding up what nature actually already does. >> santa clara water has a robust recycling program. right now that water is used for irrigation and construction the hope, throw, recycled drinking water up and unrunning in the running. katie neilson took the tour. >> at the end of the tour they offer a sample from a similar plant in southern california where they are turning waste water into drinking water. yep. tastes like water. >> mmm >> well, there is a reason why they sent katie and not me. i would refuse. okay. let's talk about the natural water cycle while we are on the subject there is a lot of water falling from the sky. paul, we have seen a lot of rain. sounds like

this next round is a little more to contend with, right? >> more on the way and the timing could be better. it has to lineup with the heaviest downpours from the morning commute adding up more rain on top of what has family en. tomorrow is a first alert day pause of the impact on the morning commute. the afternoon commute could be effected as well. adding up a lot of rain. over 5 inches and approaching 3 inches in richmond and almost that level in pacifica. even, coopertino you are in the rain shadows. picking up an inch and a quarter of rainfall. there is more rain rolling our way courtesy of this storm system. round 2 and heavier rain is on its way. in this system, everything depends how close it attracts and the closer it is to us the more the heavy rain will go farther and farther inland. let's look at the loop over the last couple of hours. you see the rain surging up to the north. seeing off and on

choirs. showers. there is another one off of the coastlining up parallel to each other. we will track them heading through the rest of tonight. the future cast shows the rain closer to the coast for the morning commute, farther inland in the santa clara valley. might wait until after the peak of the rush hour for it to arrive. surging up from the north just as it is pictured energy rotating off of the storm system like spokes on a bicycle wheel. every time one of those makes its way up, the atmosphere getting squeezed and more rain produced falling on to saturated ground. even with additional rainfall flooding potential is going to remain low overall. there could be nuisance road flooding wherever the storm drains are blocked by leafs or other junk. the threat will not last particularly long in any spot. by tomorrow night, into the presunrise hours the last of the showers should quiet down. how much more rain are we talking about? it will be highly variable depending how far inland the bands of

rain will go. this particular forecast model, this is one run of one forecast model showing less than a quarter of an inch in the east bay and concord and east bay and walnut creek. an inch and a half addition alley in stenston beach. the closer you are to the coast the higher the numbers are going to be. there is the terrain effect. squeezing out more and more rain as it is forced to go uphill across the terrain of the bay area. a tropical moisture source. it means there is a lot of humidity in the air. the temperatures are warm, middle to upper 50s. we are only going to drop down to the lower to middle 50s heading through the rest of tonight. unusually warm for the second to the last morning of autumn. the temperatures above average on wednesday morning. they still will warm up despite the clouds and the shower. not great dog walking weather unfortunately for maggie here. she may not be wild about the

hat but the happy face says differently. holding off until later in the week. it will be in door weather for all, most of the day as the waves of rain continue to roll up in our direction. let's fill in the rest of the map talking about tomorrow's high temperatures, again, in between the waves of rainfall. still, 3-4 degrees above normal in the 60s, likely going to be the warm spot on the map tomorrow afternoon. again, reflecting the tropical nature of the moisture headed up towards us. the clouds, the rain all day. we will end up a few degrees above average the cool spots on the map, to the north bay, making it up to the upper 50s. 58 degrees for half-moon bay. 60 degrees in san francisco. the temperatures north of the golden gate. a mix of the upper 50s and 60s by tomorrow afternoon. average highs are 57, 58 degrees, pretty much everybody should be above that level tomorrow. we are going to dry the forecast out heading through the outlook. once again, showing

you the entire seven-day outlook here. let me get the right set of test tubes up here on the map. everybody has the same forecast. does not matter if you are inland, along the bay, the coast, in the 60s for a couple more days, temperatures drop back as the forecast dries out. sunshine, does not matter for the first couple of days of winter. we will be back to near average temperatures for saturday and sunday. continuing the theme on christmas day on monday, more cloud cover returning on monday and tuesday. the next chance of rain holding off until next tuesday night into wednesday. >> all right, paul, thank you. before there was bad bunny there was big bunny. don't blame us, you have named it, half a century the playboy mogul landed at sfo. straight ahead in sports, steph curry, shaquille o'neal, curry, putting on a second half and overtime show. the warriors almost blew the roof off of the chase center tonight. the
