created some very big headaches for the businesses that operate out of this neighborhood. this is a largely industrial area, and some of the businesses here, they rely on the power to make their products and some of them, because of that, had to shut down for the whole day. >> we're gonna keep our fingers crossed. we're going to get power on inside chibo bakery in sausalito. >> work grinding to a halt monday afternoon. >> it really impacts our bottom line. >> high winds from the storm knocking out power to this largely industrial section of the city and bakery owner tara ancona says it's hardly the first time, so i think it's the aging infrastructure we're being subjected to. >> power outage, you know, every single time that the wind blows or it's raining and, you know, it's affecting my business terribly. um, not only mine, but other people in this area. >> reporter two weeks ago, the area also losing electricity after a powerful atmospheric river system hit the region.

>> and the good news we're hearing from pg and e that they are now estimating that they'll be able to get the power back on in this neighborhood at around 330 this morning. so hopefully that will allow at least the bakery and some of the other businesses to get back to work tomorrow morning. mike. >> julie, it's been windy, rainy, and it sounds like where you are right now. zach it's really windy at this hour. has it been picking up since you've been out there? >> yeah. you know, it's interesting. it was really dead for the last few hours and just about now it it started to pick up again. so that kind of goes to show you the unpredictability of this storm as it pulls through the area. >> all right. zac sos reporting live for us tonight in the north bay zach thank you. >> in the east bay a busy roadisow closed after the heavy rain caused storm damage. tonight niles canyon road is shut down between fremont and sunol. a slide along alameda creek caused a portion of the road to collapse. traffic was reduced to one lane for much of the day, but all lanes were shut down around 5:00 tonight. the

road, part of highway 84, is a well-used thoroughfare. about 15,000 vehicles travel that road each day. >> let the storm go through, and then in the morning, our engineers and maintenance team will take a look at the condition of the road. if it's okay, we'll get it back open in the one way direction and then we're going to have to assess what we need to do in order to rebuild that section. >> and the chp did announce tonight this portion of niles canyon road could be closed for a few days. chief meteorologist bill martin joins us now. all right, bill, tell us more about that severe thunderstorm warning . right. >> not not typical for the bay area, but that's this just getting dropped. the severe thunderstorm warning, it was up in western napa county, up by calistoga, middletown, saint helena. let's take a look. we'll come in real close here. and it's still some of those cells left over thunder, lightning, wind gusts in this area up to 60 miles an hour. i think some of those winds that zach was experiencing believe it or not, might have been inflow or outflow from these cells as the air goes into them, they get accelerated or is it drops out when it cools. but either way,

right now it's still raining hard in calistoga, angwin and working its way out towards the central valley. but a very strong cell. it is gradually dying down, and that seems to be , at least when you look around, that seems to be the kind of the last of the really heavy hitters. but again, a severe thunderstorm warning just getting dropped in the last hour, wind gusts up to 60 hail, up to three quarters of an inch scattered showers now out around richmond and out by sonoma. you can see here in near american canyon. you got some heavy showers. san rafael, larkspur, a flood watch in in effect for the entire bay area as it will stay in effect through wednesday. and there are still a flood advisory firm in sonoma and napa counties. but as you can see, if i pull away out on the radar, you can see out behind here. if i put a loop on it. most of this activity, the heavy stuff has moved through. we'll see you back here in a few minutes. we'll look at the model. there's more to come. i'll see you back here in a bit. >> all right. bill, thank you. well, this latest storm has brought down many trees in the

santa cruz mountains. california's office of emergency services posted pictures of a fallen tree that ended up blocking a road. the tree was cut up and removed, and authorities reopened that roadway to traffic. the office of emergency services said it was grateful for its mutual aid partners for keeping communities safe. people who live in the santa cruz mountains are also dealing with downed power lines. more than 1600 residents in boulder creek woke up without power this morning after a tree came crashing down, taking down some power lines with it. many turned on their generators as crews are working to restore service. >> i was ready. i had two gallons of gas and my generator was full. >> everybody has a generator. you can't live here without a generator. that's what you get for living in the woods throughout the day, sporadic downpours soaked hillsides and roadways. >> travel was impacted as chp officers from santa clara and the santa cruz counties responded to multiple accidents. one driver rolled his car on highway 17 near patchen pass. he was not injured and strong winds

caltrans leases out. and now the new report shows alarming results in the bay area. 14 of the 16 sites failed state fire marshal inspections that includes one site in richmond, along interstate five. 88 sites in oakland along 580 and eight, 80 and five sites in san francisco along 280 and 101. in oakland at one site under 880 near fifth and castro streets. inspectors say they found motor oil and hydraulic fluid stored near improper electrical wiring, extension cords and batteries strung together without permitting. one nearby businessman says there was a recent fire at that spot, and he's not surprised by the report . >> they just had one down on fifth and castro right here, just like probably like two weeks ago, three weeks ago. and it's a normal thing for me because i am in this area all the time. >> another spot along 880 in oakland on wood street, failed safety inspections due to large containers of debris and other flammable materials in that area. >> the site of a fire january

1st, when piles of debris caught fire under the highway near a homeless encampment along wood street. inspectors say other sites failed due to businesses stacking flammable materials to close to the highway. overpass structures. this lumber yard at embarcadero and fifth avenue failed the inspections because it had wood piled more than 12ft high. residents who travel along the highways say they want the state to take action quickly to fix the fire danger. this woman, who lives near one site, didn't want to show her face. >> i think there needs to be a firm commit to timeline that that just removes these immediate risks. um, as well as putting a system in place to prevent this from happening again, i contacted caltrans and asked them about their timeline for making sure that these fire dangers are mitigated. >> a spokesman told me that they could not provide an answer today. they would need more time to provide a response. so we'll be waiting for that sometime this week.

>> all right. jana thank you. jana. >> protesters briefly blocked freeway traffic through san francisco today, calling for a cease fire in the war between israel and hamas. hundreds of protesters walked up the octavia entrance to the central freeway, shutting down a portion of 101. this was just around 145 this afternoon. the demonstrators briefly blocked an on ramp, also at van ness protesting on president's day was part of the plan. they say they are raising their voices, hoping they're heard all the way to the white house. >> civil disobedience is the only way we feel. we are able to get the world's attention and especially send the message to our elected officials like biden, like blinken, the whole united states government. >> the protest did cause major delays on highway 101 and surrounding city streets. caltrans reported all freeway lanes were back open shortly after three in the afternoon. one person was reportedly killed in gaza after police opened fire on a crowd that rushed right toward a truck carrying

just to stay entertained. food, food. yeah, some make some dinner and. yeah, just hang out. >> this man says he's visiting his grand children from pennsylvania and although heavy rain and tornado threats are not a new experience for him, he didn't expect to see it during his trip to the bay area. >> we're going to race for blocks down there, hunker down in the middle of the house with grandma and his sister. >> after last year's atmospheric river storms drenched the region, outdoor supply hardware says people seem to be much more prepared this time around. the store says when major storms are predicted, people will buy things like tarps, roofing supplies and water pumps. >> last year, people were. it was really bad weather and people just weren't prepared at all. and it was. there were a lot of people in here, uh, this year. so far it hasn't been that bad. we haven't had we haven't had a 3 or 4 day storm like we did last year. so we'll see.

>> right now, the key to weathering these storms is preparation. of course you should have flashlight batteries and emergency kit and food supplies for a couple of days just in case you lose power. julie. all right. >> lamonica peters reporting live for us tonight. thanks. lamonica in southern california, severe rain is causing big problems in ventura county. crews from the ventura county fire department were hard at work today, reinforcing roadways and adding sandbags to help with the water runoff. and flooding. about a million people are under a flash flood warning throughout the los angeles area. rain is expected on and off through wednesday. firstrillionesponders stress it's important for drivers to keep their guard up. >> storm fatigue is a real thing. just as evacuation fatigue is a real thing. we don't like to evacuate anybody unless we believe it is necessary and the same thing for road conditions and water conditions. so if you're like, oh, i drive fine on the freeway, i'm getting better. it's more comfortable when it's wet. well

we're always see an increase in accidents when the roadway gets wet. so please slow down. flooding has forced the closure of three lanes of highway 101 in ventura county. >> one of those lanes impacts drivers going north. the two other lanes that are closed impact drivers heading south. crews do not know when they'll be able to get those lanes reopened. >> federal aid now available for those affected by severe storms that hit san diego last month, the governor says president biden has approved california's request for a presidential major disaster declaration. this will make federal funds available to help those in san diego county recover after deadly storms blew through the area, killing three people and flooding more than 800 homes. >> chain controls are in effect tonight for parts of interstate 80. here's a live look now at donner summit, where snow is covering that roadway there. it's very dark. you see one car out there on the road, storms making their way through the bay area. they're dropping a lot of new snow in the sierra this week. palace shades tahoe received at least six inches of

snow today at olympic valley, according to the resort. they're expecting nearly a foot more by tomorrow. the new snow is coming just in time for the slalom races and festivities taking place this coming weekend at palisades. let's check in now again with our chief meteorologist, bill martin. for more on the conditions. bill. >> yeah, it's a big weekend up at palisades. it's the world cup, so that's a huge deal in the world of skiing. it looks like it's going to be pretty pretty good for snow, but it's going to be a little warmer than they like. i do know that. so as you look at the west slope of the sierra nevada, chester, quincy down by donner grass valley, there's the lake right here. we're seeing some pretty heavy snow in pockets, as you would guess. i mean, when these storms go through here and drop heavy rainfall, that means pretty much heavy snowfall as it gets up into the lake tahoe area. so that's going to go on all night for them. and that means another by tomorrow morning they're up another foot and a half. i would suspect, and they're going to get more probably another foot during the day tomorrow. i would think. so. outside we go. it's pretty much dying down. we got some scattered showers. most of

everything was quiet and then bam, that event up in the santa rosa or in western napa county, that severe thunderstorm warning that has been dropped but is was still quite the quite the event. and you got some lightning strikes. you had three quarter inch hail and 60 mile an hour winds that is moving on. we'll look at that in a minute. but the flood watch is continuing through wednesday morning. that includes pretty much the entire t of the bay area. there is a flood advisory and until 10:00. now for looks like sonoma county. at this point. and that's going to continue into parts of napa county as well. and that will last until about 10:00 tonight. so that indication that things are dying down the wind advisory looks like it's winding down as well. but we did see gusts as i've said today, up to 50 and 60 miles an hour. so there is a chance for some more activity tomorrow. but it would be pared down compared to what we had certainly yesterday, and certainly what we saw this afternoon. i'll see you back here. we'll do the full forecast . >> all right. we'll see you in a bit, bill. thank you. and just a quick reminder right now that

you can always stay on top of the weather with the ktvu weather app. it has current conditions and a live interactive radar. and it breaks down the forecast hour by hour. and it's a free download. >> new at ten. plans are underway to make one of the more dangerous street in san jose a lot safer. king road is a six mile long stre beten berryessa and east capitol expressway. the spotlight to add medians more crosswalks,g and bus only lanes. according to city data from 2018 through last year. eight people were killed on king roadnd1 were seriously hurt. the plan is expected to be finalized in april before heading to the city council for debate tonight, we are learning more about the racist tech scandal involving san jose police. coming up, what we now know from official documents regarding the involved officers, plus new developments tonight after a man was caught on camera assaulting another man at an east bay gas sta on hree

>> as ktvu has previously reported, mcnamara used the n word in dozens of texts to both officers. you know, to actually hate something. >> and beyond having the feelings of hatred, but to make those feelings actionable, to take action on those, it's terrifying. >> reporter mcnamara would resign in november when the police departmentrillioneleased his racist text messages about the shooting. haggerty left san jose pd in 2020 and is seen here being sworn in as a cop in eagan , minnesota, and 2022. all right . >> hi. dana dwyer. william haggerty, you solemnly swear. >> do you solemnly swear? >> but haggerty would resign from his minnesota job in november of 2023, six days after the texts came out. neither haggerty nor le templar are on any police decertification list, meaning they can keep wearing a badge. >> we can no longer say this. this whole one bad apple scenario, because the end of the phrase is one bad apple spoils a

classes through eighth grade. we visited one class underway at miller middle school in san jose this class and social studies class is entirely in chinese, so sometimes the concepts are the same except the words are different. >> and we also have to answer the questions in chinese and such. >> i speak chinese at home, but since at home we only speak so i feel like at clip i've learned a lot about writing and reading it. uh, because. because we don't really write or, uh, read chinese at home. we just talk and communicate to my parents. so i feel like i've learned a lot of, uh, just like basic writing and reading skills. >> the clip program was home to the first public mandarin immersion elementary school in california. it has now become a model for other programs across the nation. >> we're definitely a trailblazing program. um, you know, one that i'm extremely grateful for. and it's great to hear about all these immersion programs popping up all over the bay area. um, and knowing that

you know, our program is something that kind of helped these programs grow and the impact it has made continues for program alumni like aaron chow, who says he is grateful for the experience. >> he says the parade for him was always a highlight, and the parade was probably one of the most exciting parts of every year. >> getting to go to san francisco with everyone, and it was kind of tough having practice every week, especially as a kid. i had too much energy, so it was hard to control me. but once the parade actually started being in san francisco with all the crowds and everything, it was really fun. it is a celebration and as the carp jump into the year of the dragon to the beat of the drums, it is the tradition of culture, language and community that marches on in san jose. >> claudine wong, ktvu, fox two >> all right, the alaska airlines chinese new year parade is saturday night, the 24th. the big eveelrates and welcomes in the year of the

dragon. you can watch the parade live on ktvu two and on the fox local app. be sure to join me, claudine wong, amber lee, the entire team 6:00 saturday night, right after our 5:00 newscast. well heavy surf is making for some dangerous conditions off the mendocino county coast. >> large waves could be seen crashing ashore at fort bragg today. people who were there along the coast this afternoon said they felt like the wind was about to knock them over. our chief meteorologist, bill martin, is back with us now with a look at what to expect next. bill >> yeah, definitely windy everywhere today we had the wind advisory. it stays in effect tonight as well. the winds gusting today for a time. and some of these storms like we just had in napa up in napa county, 50 to 60 miles an hour. so and it's sea level. so the showers now are widely scattered. the heavy showers that severe thunderstorm warning. this is the area that produced that severe thunderstorm warning. and it's moving off in this direction. so you can see it came out of the santa rosa area yountville vacaville and has moved on, but

not before it dropped a significant amount of rainfall. and really made it some tough driving with really high rainfall rates out by vacaville, we got some heavy showers. not i don't see any thundershowers in here, but you know, they're just winding down and tomorrow is going to look a little like this. now we're going to see you keep the umbrellas handy as kind of the key there. and we're going to see very similar to kind of what we had today, but with less oomph. in other words, the dynamics are going to be similar, except there's not going to be as much fuel and moisture. so we shouldn't see as much rain. we shouldn't see as many clouds. we should see more breaks. we'll see how that goes. but in the meantime, it should be a pretty overall okay day tomorrow. but keep the umbrella handy. so with that, we've got the winds to talk about. 28 miles an hour gusting in napa right now. so that's pretty windy. and you know, just anywhere there probably in relationship to that cell that's going through perhaps. but either way it's breezy around the bay area. it has been the last couple of days. sfos at 22 on the gusts come way down from where they were last night in this afternoon. here's what the model does. this is right now.

and then this is tomorrow morning. so you see these this kind of line going through here, maybe a scattered shower, maybe a thunder shower. but you see, most of the bay area, partly cloudy, partly sunny and then right about noontime this area kind of wanted to go through. we'll watch that. so somewhere around 1:00 or 2:00 tomorrow, there's a chance for some kind of active city. and then again wednesday, maybe something in the morning and then clearing out. but it gets it's much, much less robust than it was today. at least that's how it appears now. and then you see the telltale sign of the high pressure building in the valley, fog and fog around here. that's thursday morning. and then thursday night looks okay. and then friday looks all right. and then we get into friday afternoon, saturday and sunday. and we have a chance for a shower again. and it's really an interesting period. so here here's tuesday. there's that chance. here's wednesday a slight chance thursday is your best day so far. friday a chance saturday there's a chance i hate doing that because this whole time run is going to change

because it's a cut off low in this period, and it's going to be kind of working its way down the coast. and it could drift a degree offshore. and none of this happens. it could do drift 60 miles to the east. and more of this will happen. it's going to change. so don't freak out if your weekend plans are in jeopardy. are you all right with that, mike? yeah >> you know, we got the parade on saturdays. >> you were squinting. i saw you squinting. yeah, i think the parade is going to be fine. >> it's a lot of chance out there. >> i think the parade will be fine. okay. yeah. good >> we'll take it. >> getting all the rain out of the way now. yeah. the parade will be dry. okay. that sounds good, bill. thank you. well, organizers of sacramento's mardi gras celebrations say 1500 performers are lined up for the big event. the city of trees parade and mardi gras festival is scheduled for march 9th near the state capitol. it is said to be the biggest mardi gras parade in california. the event will include marching bands, dance groups and floats from burning man parade. participants will also be passing out recycled mardi gras beads shipped from new orleans. well today, thrive city hosted its annual black history month celebration.

seasons playing in mexico, puerto rico and dubai. so he is a long shot to make the team, but he has made it clear that he wants to compete for a roster spot. he did play 11 seasons and all crowd favorite with the giants. he was named world series mvp in 2012 for the second of their three championships. this he's got an infectious personality. >> he, um, he's experienced. he's motivated and i think there's a lot that can rub off to some of our younger guys, too. so you know, he doesn't want to hear anything about what his chances are he's going to go out there and he's going to play and he's going to try to force our hand, okay, the sharks, they hosted the defending champion vegas golden knights in a presidents day matchup matinee matchup in san jose. >> yeah, younger brother look he's he had enough out of big brother. he just says knock it off game. just minutes old when

defense. uh to some, the alternate live broadcast featuring draymond green and charles barkley was more entertaining than the game itself. joe, a #### of a player. >> good luck in the play in. >> don't let him do. he's going to do my friend like that. that is crazy right now. you are not acting like that here, chuck, take my ring. >> take my ring. barkley taking a shot at the warriors, who are currently in 10th place. draymond, though, can more than hold his own. green has four rings and barkley, of course, has none. and from a postgame handshake to an all out melee in a matter of seconds, not just pushing and shoving, but punches being thrown here. following texas a&m commerce's overtime win against incarnate word, it went on for more than a minute. it spilled over into various sections of the court. we still don't know what exactly started the melee, and neither school
