hole next door. >> i am telling you, this drain would be fixed immediately. >> reporter: it rained more than a foot on the mountains and hills around mill valley and then came rushing down here to the low part of the city. this storm drain and another down the street couldn't handle what was coming in. take a look at it from last night. so much rain outside, it was coming up and out of the storm drain. not to mention the sinks and toilets on the inside. >> can anything be done to improve it? >> it is a difficult area. >> reporter: the city studied the problem and has come up with a possible solution, a 15- foot wide culvert, dug under the avenue. that would take many years and millions of dollars. >> they are extremely costly, and it is something the city has to prioritize with all the other needs. >> reporter: drinks will still

get poured, tacos served, and when it rains, things will get wet. along miller avenue it is called business as usual. brian webb kpix 5. >> that was in the north bay paul but this was a tale of two storms. >> marts of the -- parts of the bay area, received less than an inch. contrasted with 14 inches of rainfall. crazy for just one weekend. more than 8 inches in napa, st. helena. this is the result from mill valley, nice looking water fall, problem is that is some body's backyard. mill valley, marin. in the south bay they are watering the lawn with irrigation. sunny vail, east palo alto. sarah toga, this is the view down there.

bolts so they have to come up with a collusion. how much will that cost? >> we don't know. this is one of these things, if we experience more wind or rain we will learn things. >> they don't know how quick it will take to resolve but i can't imagine -- the water will not be left down there. even if it takes more than one winter season it will still get mopped out and pumped out before it does damage. >> reporter: no time table or price tag on fixing the leaks. last year's america's cup cost us more than we originally thought. in december leaders estimated the race cost taxpayers, $5.5 million. now a new report finds that number is actually closer to $11.5 million. when you factor in expenses for the port of san francisco. >> students at san jose state university mourning the loss of one of their own. they held a memorial for a student found dead in his dorm

evidence. it is designed to be so boring so anti hollywood it weeds out the wannabes. the students who grew up watching csi love it. >> it is cool. >> reporter: after 300 episodes the so called csi effect in the courtroom is well known where real life jurors have sky high expectations of crime fighting. look at the enrolment at san jose forensics. it shot up 10 fold in just 4 years. >> i tend to ask the student what they know about their interest and if it is generally just the tv show i ask them to think about first taking some courses, perhaps even shadowing someone and understanding what the job is about before they make that decision. >> reporter: they graduate about 50 a year but throw them in across the country and you

apparently it is a problem here in san jose more so than the rest of the country. it is clear pilots know the the words to dionne warwick's tune do you know the way to san jose. once they reach san jose is where the confusion begins. sitting 10 miles apart are manetta and moffette field. on the left and right. >> runways look close in alignment. >> reporter: over the years there have been six close calls where a plane bound for manetta has nearly touched down at moffett. >> problems come from inexperience and hurrying. >> when things happen quick you

>> picked up a chair and hit the suspect over the head with the chair causing an injury to the suspect and incapacitating him. >> the 50-year-old was taken to the hospital for his injuries and booked. >> reporter: because the family was here at the time of the break-in, the building was occupied the suspect faces first degree burglary. >> the two acted in self- defense and won't face charges but they stopped short of giving an endorsement. >> it is an individual choice, there are risks associated with those choices, fortunately he was not harmed seriously. >> reporter: police say they do encourage businesses to install alarms and security cameras. police say the suspect is well known to them and expected in court tomorrow. for the past four days, they were nice but where does that leave us when it comes to

liked person on the block. >> reporter: the district is still trying to figure out how mandatory restrictions would work and how much water residents would be expected to use. >> what we do know is any water saved now will not hurt a customer, in setting their baseline or benchmark water use. >> reporter: while the rainy weekend was nice it couldn't even begin to deliver any long term answers. >> we try not to use much water i have been worried how we will cut 25%. >> reporter: it is a question we are hearing a lot. tomorrow night we will look at your home water use, gallon by gallon and where you may be losing water and not know it. tomorrow night at 10:00 p.m. water water everywhere except the south bay. wow not a whole lot there. how did that happen? >> crazy. pineapple express is like shooting a fire hose but during the storm it will meander, 40, 50 miles this time locked in
