and how much water is standing on the roads and play it safe. >> look at what spilled from the tuck, produce. the truck lost its load. it was carrying fruits and vegetables. a waste. officials had to not only clean up the truck and the debris, but, also, of the vegetables and they are still here of the backup is still an issue. they have reopen all of the southbound lanes and it is a little bit of good news we can give you. it took a long time to move if you were headed southbound. we came from the novato and petaluma area. we tried to get here it and took 30 minutes to go 2.5 miles. it was slow crawl. it is raining right now. it looks like this will continue. accidents are continuing, with the c.h.p. officer getting call after call. he said they are coming in like crazy.

it burned for a significant amount of time. it was on high voltage power line. now the power line is unsecure and it goes over the railroad tracks so we had to shut down the railroad for pg&e to mitigate the problem. >> the latest from pg&e is they will not have the power back on in the area and be able to open the street and the train tracks until 6:00 this evening. if it were raining harder the dust an the transformers there have been a couple of incidents here in richmond, the dust would have been washed away. this is a look at the mechanics bank. just a few yards from where the transformer blew. the bank is closed. as our several other businesses. they do not have any power and probably will not have any power until later in afternoon and early this evening.
