escape. ominous clouds bore witness to the twister then sigh soar sirens wailed a warning. >> there were boards laying on top of us and i managed to get them off me and screamed for help. >> reporter: the governor got a first-hand look at the damage. >> dozens of people either staying in hotels or with friends, and as the folks come back, they have to be housed other places, too so a very quick moving storm. >> reporter: the tornado fueled by warm air very unusual this time of year touched down from arkansas to southern mississippi and southern and central illinois. elsewhere stormy weather continues. >> get out of the way. >> caused a 25-car pileup. in california, they're digging out, too. mounds of mud instead of snow and digging in for more rain on the way. >> john: a russian passenger jet

carrying 124 people caught fire and explode on a runway in sigh beer cramp three people were -- siberia. most of the crew and passengers were evacuated before the explosion. the plane filled with black smoke. panicked passengers climbed over each other to escape. people came from all over the bay area to celebrate new year's in san francisco. >> happy new year! >> john: there was an estimated quarter million people lining the streaks. when the clock struck midnight and the fireworks went off the crowds watched the spectacular display of lights. the 15-minute show was launched from barges a thousand feet out in the bay. >> baby new year is a little girl in the east bay who looks

to be the first born in the bay area. she was delivered at 12:07 this morning. the little girl was premature. weighs four pounds and five ounces her mother was surprised to learn her baby was the first to be born this year. >> i didn't believe it. she can't be the first baby, has to be a whole bunch of other babies born. but she is the first one. >> john: the little girl is now zaria haiti. zaraa means help from goad and haiti is a battle warrior. >> frances: we have some wet weather before the dry days ahead. here's the live look from the hd cam overlooking the embarcadero we have hat -- had light rain in san francisco. this is the loop of the last three hours.

you'll notice the source of the wet weather from the southwest and the pacific swooping up, and focusing on the north bay. the light rain are in areas of blue and the areas of yellow more moderate rainfall. east of american canyon fairly dry right now, and as we head further south around monterey bay, we see some heavier rain east of morgan hill and more rain coming in from the pacific. so it's a cool night tonight. although we're still hanging on in the 50s in thesome places with the cloud cover. so we have the light to moderate rain through tomorrow. then we have the weather advisories in lake county and lake tahoe. the dry days are headed our way started on monday.

we have his cutoff low from the jet stream and it's sliding south. that's going to continue to bring the moisture to our area through tomorrow and that low is going to head south into southern california, bringing them some rain and cold weather. so the forecast model shows the green and light greens showing light rain. then by tomorrow evening most of it clears out, and then into monday, we should be dry for the most part. so that's nice. you can put those umbrellas away for a bit. the lows tonight in the 40s. mid-40s around the bay. upper 30s in the north expwai santa rosa napa and vallejo. look for a cool 41 in morgan hill and they won't climb much tomorrow. with the wet weather. temperatures a good five degrees below normal. san francisco high only 48 degrees. 45 in napa. 50 in oakland, and 52 in san jose, further south, we're going to see low 50s once again for

santa cruz, gilroy and hole hisster. here's the seven-day forecast. another day of rain, a wet start to the new year. but then we have that slight chance of rain maybe a leftover shower, but for the most part that will be monterey bay and south. the bay area will be dry patchy valley fog. >> john: thanks, frances. the sun finally came out for the rose parade. hundreds of thousands of spectators watched the floats and marching bands, behaving temperatures into the low 40s overnight. a 17-year-old was the year's rose queen. the parade was held up briefly when one of the floats got stuck of the start of the line upthey hate to pull they had to pull it with a tow truck.
