broke up a massive sideshow this past weekend with more than 200 participants. katie nielsen spoke to the mayor who says the best way to stop side shows is to prevent them from even starting. >> reporter: this massive parking lot is covered in tire marks. all signs of past sideshow activity. something residents say happens all the time. that's why the city is now installing new barriers like these fences to keep people out. >> that is really common in a lot of intersections. >> reporter: long-time antioch resident jenna stone is pointing out the tire marks in the intersection of lone tree way and golf course road. what popped up late saturday night. dozens of cars were doing donuts and spins with hundreds of spectators, cheering on the drivers. >> i can hear those late at

night and you know distinctly what it is because you can hear the rubber sound. she said the answer to the problem is simple. >> prosecute, like get their information. they have license plates, they have vin numbers. it's not hard to find these people that are doing these things over and over again. >> reporter: according to antioch mayor, that is exactly what they are going to do. during this past weekend, antioch police used drones to gather information about participants and spectators. >> and there will be some people disappointed in a few weeks because the cars will be towed. in some instances, these are the parents whose cars are towed. >> reporter: the illegal car gatherings are dangerous. the best approach is to stop them before they start, by installing physical barriers and intersections where sideshows often happen. and also passing an ordinance that would allow the police department to go after the organizers. >> the residents of antioch deserve to live in peace. we don't need punks showing up

here disturbing the peace. these sideshows are dangerous. we've had sideshows that have killed people in the city of antioch. >> reporter: tougher crackdowns. that's what residents say that needs to happen because the issue is continuing to get worse. >> more and more lately. you'll see those circle burnouts in every four-way stop, you know, everywhere you go. >> reporter: the ordinance allowing for the prosecution of those who organize sideshows will be brought up at a council meeting in may. if approved, those convicted could face up to $1,000 fine or six months in jail. >> now the city is also looking into other ways to put up physical barriers in some intersections to make it impossible to do donuts in a car. the mayor says those could be installed before the end of the year. and the big story we're following right now, a spring storm is triggering an evacuation warning along the big sur coastline. authorities

again closing highway 1, which was damaged. a section of the highway slipped away. the fix for this is going to take a while. in the meantime, caltrans and chp, they have been leading one-way convoys to get people in and out of the area. but now those convoys have been suspended as the next round of rain moves in. >> and we expect that they will resume on saturday at 8:00 a.m. that is our intent and our hope, should we examine the site and if there are any concerns, then we'll broadcast that to the community. >> now residents in that area were asked to evacuate this morning especially medically sensitive folks who would have a hard time getting treatment during a full road closure. now that same storm is expected to bring rain and chillier temperatures here to the bay area. first alert meteorologist will join us with a closer look at that. darren? >> reporter: it is like a total 180 in the weather. it is starting tomorrow. kind of already started today because you notice the clouds came

back. we are 10 degrees cooler right now than we were yesterday. no more mid-70s out there, all in the mid-60s. here is the reason. the next storm is already producing a lot of lightning in the northern third of the state if you want to see this branch of the particular system. we've got to go after the slightly wider view where we could see it is developing here to put the futurecast on that and show you how this is a rain factor for us until tomorrow morning. then it will be around for two days. if you look at the system, look at that big line right there. that's tomorrow morning's commute. 5:00 a.m. through 8:00 a.m. we'll get that line of widespread rain. but things will get more interesting after that. and all the way through friday, watch the little circulation right there. area of low pressure will hammer big sur, but will keep them going here. and from thursday through friday, the occasional thunderstorms can't be ruled out. throughout the entire two-day period. there is your morning commute tomorrow. as we put that into the longer range,

you can see that this will stick around. we'll slow this down. we'll give you more details in the first alert forecast and put some rainfall totals on it. i hadn't even mentioned yet, what might be the biggest noticeable impact on this. it's about to get colder with the morning lows. liz, back to you. >> thank you so much. incredible images that are coming out of taiwan right now as the search for survivors will continue following the magnitude 7.4 earthquake. at least nine people are dead after the disaster that rocked the island during the morning rush hour. reporter leah michigan has a devastation after taiwan's strongest earthquake in 25 years. >> reporter: a shocking scene as rescuers race to save people from the collapsed building in taiwan. this dramatic video shows the moment they fell. deadly earthquake hit the commuters were making their way to work and school on the island of 23 million people. landslides and debris shut

>> and somehow it seemed a lot longer. two-thirds of the meeting room or the hallway, they just emptied. they were running out into the streets. >> the taiwan embassy issued this statement saying our government is grateful for the support of the international community including our allies, like-minded countries, and friends from around the world. the government is deeply touched by the concern and support it has received, which will give taiwan the strength to overcome this challenge. and this quake has raised concerns about the potential impact on the global semi conductor industry. producing many of the chips that are key to powering the whole host of products. most of us will use this every day. the main chip maker from bay area tech giants, apple, nvidia, was forced to briefly pause operations when the quake hit. the company says it is already back to work, but they are

still evaluating any potential long-term impact. we will have all the latest updates on the search for survivors in taiwan and the global impact of yesterday's earthquake. just head to our website kpix.com. the u.s. is now calling on israel to carry out a swift and impartial investigation after seven aid workers from world central kitchen were killed by an air strike in gaza. all seven victims have been identified including an american. the air strikes destroyed the victims cars on monday and what the israeli military claims was a case of mistaken identity. prime minister benjamin netanyahu called the incident tragic, while also adding, "this happens in war. but the white house today says they must do better. >> they need to put in place better coordination measures to protect humanitarian workers and to protect all the civilians on the ground. it is something that we have consistently said to them over the past few months. >> in the meantime after

sending hundreds of tons of food and aid to gaza, world central kitchen says they decided to pause their operations. and closer to home, an urgent warning from a california woman who tragically lost her son to an accidental overdose. she wants other families to know about the limitations of fentanyl test strips. >> three weeks before he died at that desk, i was with him at that desk, finalizing his applications. >> coming up at 5:30, we'll explain why test strips alone could potentially do more harm than good. san jose police say a juvenile driver is the suspect in a fatal hit and run that happened early this morning. the collision happened at intersection of niemann boulevard and daniel maloney drive near silver creek high school. police say a chevy camaro was speeding when they ran a stop sign and crashed into a pickup truck. the driver was pronounced dead at the scene. the force of the impact

crushed the driver side of the truck. officers located a juvenile who they believe to be the driver of that camaro and have taken them into custody. san jose police are also investigating a fatal car crash that happened around noon today near robertsville. offices say a person driving this red honda swerved off the road and struck a tree at the blossom hill road offramp. as of now, there are no details onto what caused this crash. the state supreme court took up the bite to build housing at people's park in berkeley today. the case was brought by groups who were opposing the project. they want to build housing for about 1,100 students and for more than 100 homeless people who camp at that site. today's hearing kicked off with an opening statement from the university's lawyer. they argue that student noise from the project is not a good enough reason to block the development, and sided a state law signed by governor newsom. >> the people's park project analysis for noise would look

at people who might be gathering in the open space that will be built as part of the project. and whether that noise would result in a significant impact. because that's a use that is associated with the project. it didn't look though at how students will conduct themselves when they leave campus and they will go to currently unplanned private parties. >> but the attorney for the group against the project pushed back, arguing the university's long range development plan will increase noise, traffic, have an environment um pact outside the campus. >> but there is a whole lot of noise that's being caused in the community by people who are not going to be occupants of new residential projects. let's face it. some colleges will have a party culture. my daughter went to uc santa barbara, and he said that was noisy pandemonium. and uc berkeley had a party culture. >> earlier this year, the university closed off the park

by using shipping containers, a ruling in this case is expected by the summer. still ahead, visiting sacramento today after reporting little progress in yesterday's meeting with oakland's mayor. what we're learning about the possibility of a temporary move to the california capitol. >> and from that standpoint, they are waiting. dramatic developments in the south bay, where the battle to advance in a high-profile congressional race is now tied. where we will go from here nearly one month after election day. two bay area mothers found a fun way for students to learn about how they could care for the environment. their story coming up.

a huge illegal pot bust. officers seized more than 12,000 marijuana plants. the street value is just over $10 million. this happened last month on kevin court in

are refusing to comment that many will speculate the players association would require. >> it's the capital city of california. so it would be good to have a major team here. >> reporter: the move from the coliseum to the capital. which city would strike out? still remains to be seen. >> yesterday the a's said they were still far apart from the city of oakland about a coliseum lease extension. but keep in mind though, the 2025 mlb schedule is expected to come out in the summer, meaning time is ticking for the a's to make a decision on a place to play. switching gears to weather. first alert meteorologist darren peck is here, tracking the rain coming our way. what a difference just a couple of days will make. >> and we will use today's drop as the example, liz, and then it will be 10 degrees

colder today. let me show you where they are. the thing about these numbers, we are already 10 degrees cooler than we were yesterday. you've gotten used to those numbers in the mid to low 70s. a lot of these numbers have gone down in the low to mid-50s. these are daytime highs. but i just want to use one other set of numbers. not to tomorrow morning, but friday and saturday morning. now pick out your part of the bay. and look at livermore. you're going down into the 30s. check out the north bay up here. we'll see temperatures by friday morning that are down into the mid-30s for a lot of those coldest in the valleys. that will be you. tomorrow, it won't be this cold, tomorrow it will be in the lower 50s, the upper 40s. and tomorrow is the the arrival of the rain. let's get into that and it is the rain within it that will arrive in time for the compute. so watch the well-organized line of rain right there between 5:00 a.m. and 8:00 a.m.

that is our thursday morning commute. it will be rainy enough. streets will be slick. windshield wipers will be going. then once that widespread rain moves off to the east, we'll find ourselves looking at the isolated on again, off again scattered showers. with occasional thunderstorms that are mixed in. and there will be a lot more time on thursday and friday when you're not getting rained on. but you were never going to be able to remove that chance here at any point for one of these stray showers to come through and give you maybe even a brief downpour because of the potential that's there for them to come in the form of the thunderstorms. if we look at the totals for the whole time frame on thursday and friday, we're looking at rainfall numbers that will get up to half an inch of rain. so it is not like the rain amount themselves are overwhelming with this. we could handle that. this is the interesting aspect of it once again shading in the entire bay area for having a 20% chance

that you'll get an isolated thunderstorm. it will be cold enough with this that we'll get a light dusting of snow. mount hamilton, maybe loma prieta, the north bay, mount helenas will get a light dusting. we could see low as down as 3,000 feet. we won't get any accumulation down to 2,000 feet. that could be mount tam, but you won't get big accumulation there. you could get flurries there. the wind is not too big of a factor with this system although it will get windy again as we get into friday as the system is leaving. we'll start to pick up more offshore winds from it. those are kind of the headlines from this in the seven-day forecast to give you an idea of the widely varying stretch of numbers. we'll start out looking at the micro climate that we have covered our chances for thunderstorms here with some good news for the weekend. we're able to take rain out of the forecast here for saturday and sunday. and just a few clouds. then look at the warm up. that's a

79-degree day back there by the time we get to wednesday. as dramatic as the change will have to be right now to bring us back down into the mid-50s for the next few days and especially giving us the cold mornings, we will rebound right back to where we were. it will be full force spring all over again. see you in the next half hour. back to you. >> thank you, darren. up next, protecting the planet. how a pair of bay area moms are inspiring local kids to join the fight to preserve our environment. >> i am very passionate about telling stories about environmental justice through film making, through story telling. and i was really empowered to do that. plus a cyber attack cripples the bay area ( ♪♪ )
