's effort alert meteorologist. >> at 2:00 in the afternoon the

wall of rain came through. we are not done. there are still a few scattered showers to go but since we've got like 95% of what this thing has to throw away, look what we did today for rainfall totals. those numbers exceed what you would get in the month of may on average, like for the whole month and if we just put some numbers and that, in oakland today you got 114% just today of what you would typically get all month long in san francisco got 131% of what you would get. we did not break records for the day but did exceed what the month of may offers. what happens next if you've already seen the bulk of rain? we put it in the futurecast. we look up stream, there is still a few more stragglers to go so on-again off-again showers for now through the evening. most of us won't really get anything but once in a while one of these comes through and

individual parts of the vacancy astray isolated shower, but these are the kind that get in and get out really fast. then they have more intensity while they are here in the wall of rain had when it came through but they won't last long and by sunrise tomorrow, we are done. wait until you see what the story is with next week. it is nothing like this. in other news, the saturday evening there is new figures out showing a decline in violent crime and dozens of major cities, and that includes oakland, where homicide and burglary are down significantly. robbery has gone up by 11%, though. we spoke with some oakland homebuyers today, curious about whether people now feel safer. >> reporter: even on a gloomy and rainy day, there is a lot

years. sophie says it still feels bad regardless of the decline in crime stats. >> things are not been is reported as much . like not that it isn't happening, just we are not hearing about it as much. >> reporter: she wants city leaders and police officers to do more so her two kids can grow up in a safe environment. >> this is our city. we can't abandon it. hopefully we can do something to fix it. >> reporter: she is not alone. a lot of people still love and believe in oakland. duke is putting his money where his heart is. >> and very optimistic. i think there is a lot of promise and potential in the state -- city. >> reporter: the mayor says operation cease-fire , and the governors help with ch p officers is bringing crime down. >> even the homicides are up, violent crime is down. police say the decreases due to the return of the cease-fire program. >> as we move the program along

it has led to pretty significant reductions in all crimes. >> the program identifies people most likely to commit violent crimes and brings and community leaders to talk to them, those at high risk of violence, to reduce the possibility of retaliatory shootings and other serious crimes. not to the latest on the college campus protests over the war in gaza. thousands of uc alumni have signed a letter saying they will not donated until the schools divest from companies tied to israel. signatures include alumni from multiple campuses including uc berkeley. the open letter is asking uc campuses to call for a permanent cease-fire in gaza, divestment, and provide protection to students, staff, and faculty. meantime in the north bay, president of sonoma state university, mike lee, made a visit to the game kampmann after demonstrators made it known they want to speak with him. the president

every school to respond. >> reporter: images like these are overshadowing the agreements. new york city police are facing questions over why an officer's gun discharged from the cleared out hamilton hall earlier in the week. >> at no time were any police officers, members of the public or any protesters in danger. this was purely unintentional. >> reporter: ucla's campus was also cleared. the location of the tents, still visible on the long -- lawn along with graffiti. video shows what is left behind of the library after police moved against protesters. >> vandalism, trespassing, breaking windows, shutting down campuses, forcing the cancellation of classes and graduations -- none of this is a peaceful protest. >> commencement are now underway. this group of demonstrators interrupted the ceremony at the university of michigan where there were violent clashes with police

an ongoing downpour in texas has rivers surging. evacuations have been ordered for the area after nearly 2 feet of rain in five days. rivers rose to hurricane harvey levels in the gulf coast area. flooding took over many streets. some had to be rescued from their homes. you can see the water is passed knee level and is higher than the hoods of these u-haul trucks. officials say residents need to take serious caution. >> what we need folks to do here is, you have two options. either we need you to plan to stay in place for two to three days, or if you can't do that, we need you to leave. >> disaster declarations are in effect for more than one third of texas counties. rain is forecast up through the weekend for houston, including the potential for thunderstorms. >> you may be tired of all of this raynaud's but there is an upside. a lingering springtime bloom, especially in one specific place. and part of

california, more than 200 miles south of san francisco sliced by the san andreas fault and visited by thousands in the last month. >> reporter: it is the home of the most natural california bloom, caruso plane national monument 270 miles south of san francisco, not always paved roads, and quite a trip. are you not a flower man? >> [ inaudible ] >> team are and friend are from the south bank and they found the perfect place for a picnic on overlook hill, which is overlooking soto lake filled to the brim by winter rains, a good excuse for a flower fest feast. >> minnesota winter sausage, hungarian sausage. >> reporter: you've been coming for how long? >> about 20 years or so. the

grasses have gotten really high, so the smaller flowers are a little harder to see but all you have to do is get out of the car and take a walk on one of the trails and you can get up close to everything. >> reporter: the carrizzo blue may not be quite as robust as last year's. >> this year they seem to be sort of staging so there is not just a sweep of orange up to yellow. >> reporter: but, as the park service says, the closer you look, the more you will see. >> it still is a beautiful place and i don't remember the lake being this full of water. the reflections are just stunning, and the colors are still good, and we've seen almost every flower i was looking for, so i'm happy. >> i love coming up to stuff

like this, it's just that i've never gotten down here which is pretty sad. i think it's gorgeous. >> reporter: but, showing for a limited time only before even the best blooms get baked in the late spring son of the carrizo plane. when i was there it was smoking hot and i thought that's going to be it. of course, then we get all the rain. we have had three pretty good blooms in the past seven years. last year, carrizo plane got 6 inches of rain. this year, about 10 inches. who knows what they got after the storm. >> i went down for the 2017 bloom. so glad i did. >> they've got all of the exhibits at wallace creek about when robert wallace camped out there is a student at caltech in the 1940s and basically discovered the repeat pattern of big quakes on the san andreas fault, and that there is something to the strike slip thing. they've got exhibits out there you should see the next time .

>> that's where you can see the streams of been totally bent at 90 degrees. we digress a little. let's get into this forecast. today was quite impressive on rain and needs a little bit of an explanation. it was bad enough we were getting spin outspent there were multiple flood advisories issued on bay area roads this morning. we are still in first alert status because of this. it is early may. even brian got had faked on this because he thought we were done when he went down to carrizo plane and then the showed up. you can see what we looked ikes this morning. just a quick review. the most impressive part of this happened between about 7:00 a.m. and 2:00 in the afternoon and we can do a replay on radar. that is a pretty good wall of rain which comes through in one sweep . we are

doing it kind of slow here from 7:00 in the morning. there is 8:00, 9:00. now 10:00 is when the bulk of it comes through in the early afternoon and then that wall has cleared. we are going to pick this story up in a second. i'm going to show you what happens next. we've got like 95% of the rain this thing has to offer but there could be more, so we will get there in one second. first, a little bit of explanation because the real main event from the system is now pretty much done. look at the rainfall totals for today. i'm going to give you a little perspective. we are going to do the comparison of what average would be for the month of may. i think this really just needs another look. san jose just today at 0.6 inch of rain. you got 154% of the average amount of rain that typically falls in may. how did the system do that? if we look at it on the satellite it looks impressive. you see a very well-defined system. let's look at it in the water vapor. that is a very strong area of low pressure. let's pinpoint it coming onshore right here as it did in there are ways to analyze these things, to put them into simpler perspective in terms of where does this rank for the intensity of that area of low pressure? the center of low

pressure of the system today in terms of average, go back to 1979 then do a comparison for any system in early may on this one comes at the top. in other words, what this image is showing you is that the system was the deepest area of low pressure in the record at least going back to 1979. this was almost like having a january storm, getting thrown out of the gulf of alaska and coming our way. it explains a lot about the intensity of the rain, the cold air. we have developed a cold front on it and then that cold front aligned so perfectly with how the main wall of rain came through between 7:00 am and 2:00 in the afternoon, the deep area of low pressure created a big and balance in the atmosphere right along the

leading edge of that is where we got impressive rain and there it is now going into this year where snow levels have been down to like 4000 feet, but if we come back home and just track what happens next, there are still isolated showers in here to go and it will go on again off again. most of us probably won't get anything but there are too many every year to rule it out for your part of the bay. everyone has an equal chance, but some of these that come through will come through with good intensity. look at this for the south bay as we get into the evening. by the time we get to tomorrow right around sunrise we are done. tomorrow, there is no rain , beautiful blue sky. we are just not going to warm up a lot yet. there is a big warm-up coming by next week. the warmest temperatures we will have seen so far this season are in the seven-day forecast but is going to take a while to rebound from this. case in point, if you look at this era, there is 2 feet of snow coming. do you know what i

mean when i say this is like a january storm the got thrown our way in the first week of may? those are the totals this morning for tomorrow because it is going to keep snowing up there into tomorrow morning, rough travels catching a lot of people off guard. seven-day forecast shows you the warm-up. san francisco is going to 76 degrees. that is a warm day for the city, but you are going to be in the upper and mid 80s. let's look at san jose going to 83. low 80s for the north bay valleys. inland, 84. from the upper 50s today to the mid-80s by thursday. that is spring for you. start coming up in sports, we are off to the races, a photo finish at churchill downs today and we will show you the dramatic finish from the 150th running of the kentucky derby plus it has been a hard year for a's fans, but one of their up-and-coming pitchers in the

whether you are in philly or oakland, the rain delayed both games. action has resumed now and we will have highlights coming up in the late show, but weather was not a factor at the kentucky derby today. and, they

were off for the 150th running of the kentucky derby favorite. fierceness jumped out to an early lead and down the stretch, it was mystik dan trying to hang on, sarah lyons and forever young trying to close in. it is a photo finish and just by a hair, mystik dan on the inside is your winner. sierra leone takes second and forever young was third. that was one of the closest finishes in the history of the derby. let's move on to golf. it is the third round of the pga. the story of the week has been the 16-year-old amateur chris kim, an amateur player from england not even old enough to have his drivers license in his home country, but made the cut to

play this weekend and look at that shot on the par three fourth hole. he nearly aces it, just wait for hole-in-one. his parents, boy are they proud of that young man. he is tied for 51st at eight under. as for the leader, that would be taylor penry. these shots help the approach on the par 4. he holds out. he was eight under for the round and that moves them to 19 under for the tournament with a one-stroke lead over jake platt entering the final round. and season with so much negativity, the closer jason miller was a bright spot, named [ inaudible ] of the month. >> lighting up a radar gun near you is a's ricky mason miller.

>> i call him maces a.k.a. moses because when he walks into a room, the c parts and he just goes on about his business and everybody else kind of fills in behind him in his wake. >> reporter: is mowing down the best hitters in the biz. >> the best eyes, best approaches, best skill. these people are going to be embarrassed and undressed. they're going to be rendered children in the batters box. >> the league took notice after he struck out aaron judge and juan soto to close the door in new york on the pitchers clock over 100 mph. >> i think doing it on the big states like that is the crème de la crème of baseball, you know. >> this was never the plan for miller. he was a d3 baseball player with an e.r.a. in the sevens, something his friends still remind him of. >> my buddies pulled me back to earth. good friendship, you know, good times that we had and how far i've come. >>'s main focus in college, landing a job after graduation. >> it's like budgeting efficiency position with a

health network in pittsburgh. >> what do you think about not doing that in doing this instead? >> i'm glad it happened to my didn't end up in that situation. >> after a few successful seasons in a transfer to a d one program, the letter is drafted him in the third round and 2021. >> the difference a couple years have made for me has been crazy. >> now, he is at the top of the charts and saves and strikeouts amongst closers. >> that is who has become already in a very early career. >> he is a special breed of talent, and i am fortunate to be able to watch them every night. >> is unlikely path is given a spend something to cheer about in the season filled with tears. now there are story lines for these fans to follow, to fall in love with, that allows them to escape some of the other reality surrounding some of the organizations, so when you have a lockton

organization you can bank on, you do that. >> that attitude , but the team is going to win. yeah, it's just rolling it over. >> the thing with the letter a's is that they've never had a problem keeping that. start coming up in our next half hour, why this will be the last free comic book day at the concord shop that started the worldwide event and cinco de mayo maybe tomorrow , in fact, it is tomorrow, but events in san jose are already in full swing. details on street closures and increased enforcement plus how a san francisco comedian became surprise finalist for a story about using a hello kitty sewing machine to try to change the world.

welcome back. it is free comic book day around the world, an annual event that began right here in the bay area.

>> but, the man who started that says the story of his shop is evolving right along with the characters that phil it's shelves. >> reporter: it is cold and wet but hundreds of people have lined up outside for free comic book day at the place that started it all and while it may be the end of an era, the owner says it is also the start of something new. >> all right, let's get this line moving. happy free comic book day, everyone. >> reporter: wenzhou field opened his flying colors comic book shop in concord in 1987, the longline was not in front of his store, and nobody was coming into my shop. >> they were all going into baskin-robbins next door for free scoop night. i thought

come on, the only thing cooler than ice cream is comics. >> reporter: he wrote to the comic book industry suggesting a free comic book giveaway data bring customers into the stores and boy, did it work. now, more than 1 million people arrive at stores worldwide to get special edition comics produced just for the event. >> we have been helped by all these big-budget movies and tv shows and whatnot, but honestly, we always tell people as good as the stories are on the big screen, nothing compares to the great stories that have been told in the comics. >> reporter: while the characters never seem to age, the fan base has. fields says his clientele now averages in their 40s. ron was the first in line to select his five free issues. >> for me, i read comic books since i was a kid so it is really just the joy of the stories and everything else. >> reporter: heidi was drawn as a young girl to josie and the pussycats, a rock group that sold mysteries in their spare time. >> they were in and powered all girl group going on cool adventures and they got to travel and so everything that i

wanted to be growing up. >> reporter: just like the superheroes, the shop itself is battling adversity. flying colors is losing its lease in favor of a bagel shop, making this the last free comic book day here . it is hard to imagine this could be happening in a place so special it drew a personal visit in 2013 by the originator of the marvel universe, the late stan lee. >> i remember when he opened the shop and i felt very sentimental about coming again. >> reporter: this they were sentimental, as well, and seeing the crowds inside and out was bittersweet for joe. >> it's kind of surreal today. >> reporter: as it emotional? >> yes. these are my people. >> reporter: the flying colors story will continue, as will free comic book day, just at a new, as yet undisclosed , location, and joe has little doubt that his customers will follow him but it is always hard to see a good story and,

even when you know another one is on the way. >> the first free comic book day was held in 2002 to coincide with the release of the first spider-man movie. since then, the annual event has been used to cross promote the release of other superhero films in the summer. last week we brought you the story of another longtime business forced out over a lease problem. san jose's burger pit closing because the landlord reportedly hiked the rent by 70%. vacancies are replacing many mom-and-pop businesses. that is why san francisco is trying to attract small businesses or organizations , to restart in empty storefronts without having to worry about making rent by themselves. the vacant to vibrant program offers three to $8000 grants to help mom-and-pop's get started in the downtown area. pop-up businesses can apply online at

vibrant sf.org. in san jose, businesses will be getting a boost from their annual cinco de mayo celebrations this weekend. the crowds are supposed to be so big they are shutting down streets to help with the congestion. police say to expect road closures downtown along east santa clara street from highway 87 to 101, including sections of south 10th, south fourth, and south market streets. in east san jose, streets from alan rock avenue to talley road 680 could see closures, as well. cinco de mayo activities kicked off in san jose this weekend beginning with a low rider car show. drivers got to show off their low riders in front of the s.a.p. center. 300 of the cars will appear in the low rider parade tomorrow. it will be just the second low rider parade in san jose since the ban on cruising was lifted in 2022. we talked to one owner who made the four-hour drive from porterville. >> we heard san jose is really

tight with their culture on cruising out here and just enjoying everybody's builds and we wanted to come out here and show what we got. >> the south bay is known for its mexican cuisine. imagine being surrounded by all that food, even working in mexican restaurants, and not being able to eat it. our len ramirez that one man his religion made a lot of food off-limits, so he bet his life savings on a dream that changed everything. >> you can see here we are making real barbecue wrapped in the banana leaves with brisket. the flavor from the banana leaves really gives a nice smokiness. >> reporter: this is a filipino palestinian american his restaurant is a melting pot of foods, flavors, and cultures. >> my favorite culture to be immersed in was the mexican culture.

>> reporter: he grew up on san jose's eastside loving mexican food. >> my first job at 14 was in a talk korea as a dishwasher and prep cook. >> reporter: he worked his way through mexican restaurants which led to culinary school in a few more mexican restaurants. there was just one problem. as he became closer to his muslim face, he could not eat many mexican dishes anymore because it was not permissible. >> i was going to food trucks and ordering a cheese quesadilla. it was terrible. >> reporter: he started experimenting, cooking mexican food without lard or pork and used only ethically raised and slaughtered beef. >> a lot of my cooking i did at home to help fill that void and a lot of my friends, a lot of people were telling me man, you are really good at this. >> reporter: when covid head and he was thrown out of work, he gambled his savings to start the el halal food truck.

>> getting to a brick-and-mortar was phase one of battling chipotle. >> reporter: it is a success story that came during a tumultuous time for san jose businesses. while some never survive the pandemic, many have found a way to come back strong, said san jose mayor matt mayhem. >> the pandemic was a challenging time for small businesses in san jose but when we look over the last 10 years, we have seen that growth in small businesses. san jose is an incredibly diverse and entrepreneurial city. we have 66,000 small businesses. we have seen a lot of them hang on and start to thrive coming out of the pandemic. >> reporter: san jose mayor matt mayhem says the last decade has seen the greatest number of businesses lunch in san jose. one third of them are micro-businesses with just two to nine employees.

>> i credit a lot of that just to the incredible entrepreneurs we have in san jose in the community that loves to support its neighborhood small businesses. also, the fact that we have prioritized making the city safe and clean as we get back to basics. >> reporter: the city also offers grant and tax credits to businesses that move into vacant storefronts and last year the city launched a small business vacancy advisory committee made up of small business leaders. >> it is important for the city to hear our needs. >> reporter: christina is the visor he -- advisory committee vice chair. >> there are so many small businesses out there that businesses can go to for help with marketing, social media and help to become a better business. >> back at el halal, they found

help with problems small businesses continue to face, the cost of raising rent and food. >> the week we opened our food truck, i have $40 to my name. i looked at my crew and i was like all right, guys. i don't know how i'm going to pay you but we are going to get out here and do our best. >> reporter: and, he is exposing his dishes to new customers every day. >> i feel like is a muslim it gives me a place to try a lot of good variety mexican food, but also not feel guilty that i'm not having halal meet. >> reporter: and of course, it helps to have a product that appeals to food lovers of any faith. >> it all looks so delicious. that restaurant is planning a celebration for cinco de mayo with discounted food, music, and answers all day long. busy weekend in the bay area. san francisco , dozens of diehard fans came out to the alamo draft house for star wars

day. they're showing all nine star wars films back to back in order, which adds up to about 21 hours of film with short breaks for trivia and games in between. over in san leandro, patients at the george mark children's house got a visit from some friendly faces from a galaxy far, far away. chewbacca and r2-d2 visited the pediatric care center to greet some of the kids, for star wars day, with a wagon full of toys and collectibles, including the very own light saber. >> it's a memory. >> reporter: many socio-seen online star wars films and is favorite character is anakin skywalker. still ahead at 6:00 >> it's a war story. it is a sewing story.

comedian and the san francisco native christina juan was in the middle of her one-woman show when the pandemic shutdown theaters across the country. >> so, she started a movement making masks and that inspired her show, sweatshirt -- sweatshop overload . it is now playing in the bay area. >> this is a replica of my sewing machine that i showed my first mask on.

>> reporter: in march of 2020 when the world shut down and needed help, christina juan turned on her hello kitty sewing machine and started stitching. >> if you look closely, some of these masks have camouflage in them. >> reporter: putting her skills to work making masks for anyone who needed one. >> i can make masks and i'll save america and that turned into me making a very naïve promise to the internet that if you are immunocompromised i will sell you a mask. >> reporter: overpromising at first, but that is how the auntie sewing shop was born. referring to older women as auntie or others as uncle is just a term of endearment and respect and i have learned in running a sewing squad, it is much easier to yell at people when you call them auntie and make demands of them versus going hey, can anyone so some masks? like aunties, we need to so masks. >> reporter: the comedian in san francisco native now shares the story in her one-woman

show, san francisco overlord. >> it's a war story. it is a sewing story. it is an everything is out of proportion story. >> reporter: what christina stitches together, the story of people from all walks of life joining together as a community helping one another. >> i do feel like the show offers a way to sit with what happened , and find moments to laugh, not at the expense , you know, the most vulnerable but just at how absurd it was, but also to celebrate that there at least was one community that i witnessed that got us through this. >> reporter: getting a chance to perform in front of family and friends. >> i know one of the audience members asked, where your parents supportive of you when you were doing this and i'm like, there right in front of you so my mother turned around and like well, we weren't really into this idea but now that she's a pulitzer prize finalist, it's okay. >> reporter: and of course, performing in front of so many

aunties. >> what i really learned in this process is that family is not necessarily a family that i make biologically but it is the people that i bring around me that i care for, and who care for me back and i have a lot of those folks in my life now because of this process and because of the show and so, yes. anti-pride. >> reporter: truly the fabric and foundation of the movement. >> the auntie sewing squad made over 800 masks before ending in august of 2021, and you can see christina juan in the sweatshop overload at a.c.t. strand theater now through tomorrow. coming up, there is a new mural in town. how you conceive the new artwork. and, the bay lights will shine again. we will let you know when they plan to flip the

switch. and, all that rain we had today came courtesy of what looks to be one of, if not the strongest area of low pressure to come through north of the bay area in early may

rain did not stop a

community fair in san francisco's parkside neighborhood. mayor london buried stopped by to unveil a colorful new mural titled people of terryville. >> local artists painted the mural with the help of feedback from more than 1000 visitors of terryville who were asked, what does safety mean to you? >> a good question for which we have not an overwhelming answer. i've never seen anything that looks exactly like that. >> are you talking about the satellite imagery? let's go to that rorschach test brian just shared with that -- us. let's go back to last night. that's a really intense area of low

pressure. for early may, this was the peak of intensity. in fact, if we look at this a different way, we have ways of keeping track of areas of low pressure. you can go back and look at particular sets of data for 1979 to 2009 period. that is pretty much the strongest area of low pressure for early may to come through california, so it did look intense, almost like a storm from january got thrown out of the gulf of alaska and came our way. look at the leading edge of it. it through such an imbalance into the atmosphere that the cold front was really able to strengthen and develop that wall of rain. it pulled in

enough moisture and that is what went through the bay today and we got the bulk of this between about 8:00 in the morning and 3:00 in the afternoon. that is a replay. see the time of year. we are through the most impressive part of the storm. look at that back edge. we are through with most of it. there are still a few showers back here. futurecast shows us from now overnight into early tomorrow, a few scattered stragglers are possible, but the majority of us are done. however, we all have an equal chance here. there is about a 20% chance for a stray shower in the south bay like 10:00 tonight. this is the high resolution model for short range, so this would be the most accurate and trustworthy. it is a good take away on that. don't rule this out completely for the rest of the night. meantime it's going to keep snowing in the sierra. we're going to talk about early january and the first week of may. 2 feet of snow to donner pass. this is a very impressive system for this time of year. look at the cold air that came with it. daytime highs today in the upper 50s will be there tomorrow but watch what happens next week. each day you see the warm-up the texas all the way to friday. that is a big surge of warm air coming back. here is another way to look at it. the map here shows you how far below or above average
