covers this. >> we will start with our meteorologist, mike nicco. >> long time no see, huh? good to see you this early in the morning. >> yeah. >> in all seriousness, let's talk about what is going on. i put the flash flood warning and some of the other warnings, flash flood occurring in san martin, and below edmundson avenue is flooding right now and will continue to flood. just up the road a little bit, the guadalupe river, we are going to have flooding there until 11:15. and then let's head up to the north bay, what we are seeing around the pen grove area, and the gauge saying the creeks will push out of their local banks if

they have not already. and then from marin county up 101 from mill valley, and we keep heading north and some of the heaviest rain over the russian river. that's heavy and intense rain, and what that means is more pounding on the roadways. that's where the heaviest of rain will be over the next couple hours. you will see rains across the rest of our neighbors, and walnut creek, i had an accident happen before my eyes this morning, and i will tell you more about that coming up. the heaviest rains in the north bay and then central bay and then south bay, and more on that coming up. >> as you said, the north bay is the one being pounded all morning long. >> yeah, so often the case the storms hit the north bay first. >> and amy, right now, they are getting a break from the rain?

>> reporter: good morning, dan. we are getting wet but not pounded. we are on sir francis boulevard at highway 101. streets are wet and there's standing water here and there, and it will sneak up on you and it's dark out, so it's worth slowing down to be extremely careful, and not a lot of cars out this morning and quiet on the highways and a lot of people got the word this is a good morning to stay in, and chp is juggle calls for service right now, and they said nothing major, and it's a subjective term, so it's hard to classify -- feels like the rain is picking up as i stand here. nothing too tragic to report, and they say the reporting -- responding to the typical stuff you would get in weather like this, a spinout here and there, and lucas drive is closed because of a tree down, and we

will wander the north bay to show you what conditions are like. life in san rafael, amy the weather is causing big headaches for drivers, and melanie woodrow is live with what she is seeing there. >> reporter: dan, we had been seeing a tree that was down blocking the onramp here to 280, and a eucalyptus tree like one of these that you see right here. the call came in at 2:00 a.m., and we have video to show you what it looked like, a fallen eucalyptus tree that was dropping the on-ramp to 280 here in burlingame. this was one of more than 35 incidents we have seen this

more, and we have been checking the chp incident log, and lots of little accidents across the bay area, and there are more serious ones like this, a tree blocking the on-ramp, and crews are out and prepared and responding quickly. by the time we arrived this morning at about 4:45, the on-ramp was already back open and we are seeing a couple remaining orange cones, but they had removed the branches and that tree, and of course your best bet this morning is to stay home if you can, and if you have to go out, of course, to be extremely careful. live in burlingame. we have seen a number of crashes overnight, including one that mike saw himself coming in, and one has a remarkable ending. >> hard to believe nobody was

hurt. >> weather likely to blame for this one although police are still investigating this one. this is at 280 and highway 1 a short time ago, and highway patrol firefighters and the driver himself flip over that suv with their bare hands, and the reason they did this, is there was a one-hour delay, and no word on injuries, and based on the video, any driver and any occupants are fine considering they were able to get the car flipped up right, and the car had significant damage to the side, and the roads are slick out there. pg & e crews working as quick as possible to restore power to hundreds of customers this morning. here's a look at the out ridge map that, and the green dots are representing areas where customers are without electricity now. the crews are moving quickly, just two hours ago 6,000 were

>> her husband was okay, but, of course, devastated. at a nearby canyon woods, the tree's lower branches dropped and were hitting cars as they passed beneath. that's pretty dangerous. firefighters deemed it unsafe. >> we expect to see more of this as the day goes on. it's the tree that holly just mentioned. closed from westgate drive to nicasio valley row. crews have been working through the night to remove this tree. the ma rain county swift water rescue team is ready in case they are needed. they tweeted out these photos saying they are prepared for an active morning. an area of concern is where the loma fire left burn scars in the santa cruz mountains, and residents have been preparing for the wind and rain in an area that could see mudslides and debris flows now that the area

carolyn, hi, everybody, a new flood warning, it's the secondary push of light green you see above pen grove and pan tau hraoupla. we are seeing flooding developing right there right now so you juwant to watch out if y live near the creeks overflowing their banks. look at the yellows and the oranges and reds. so the next three to five hours we're going to have real issues with flooding up across the north bay. that's where the heaviest of the rain is. look along the peninsula coast. san francisco down to the bay, and you can see those pushing across and creating localized flooding. i was going to tell you about the rivers quick. and it will last through monday,

and then the nappy river near napa, and the russia river, 3:00 tomorrow through 3:00 on tuesday, and this is going to stop raining tonight but the affects could last more than a couple days. the rain is lighter now than it was a few hours ago, as mike is telling us, but still making for a mess if you have to be outside. >> and who has to be outside, abc news reporter, amy holyfield. >> reporter: hi, carolyn. we are getting a little break right now, not getting drenched. it's still raining. here's a look at what happened while you were probably sleeping, heavier rain here in the north bay, and there's driving video, and this is like mill valley on highway 101. heavy rain coming down, and

really probably created flooding that you might run into this morning if you are out and about, and that's what the chp says, you have to be very careful about. if you are going anywhere near 60 miles per hour or going over that, you are going too fast in this weather. if you over compensate with that steering wheel and with pumping the brakes you could end up spinning out and facing the wrong way, so take it slow, be calm, and just take your foot off of the gas and try to ease your way through it, and hope that those tires are in good shape and going to get you through. standing water is the issue that people need to look out for, and officers say it happens, and trash gathers up around the storm drains and blocks them, and so officials will try to be out and clear things as well as they can, and they are trying to keep things safe this morning

but a little bit is on us to slow down and be careful. >> great advice. we are also tracking the power outages that are all over the bay area this morning because of this stormy weather. >> let's show you the pg & e outage map. they say they have a crew at the scene and they are working to repair a broken power pole in the area, but can you expect a lot more people to be without power as the day goes on. the outages are caused by downed power lines. >> a lot of times people don't know what to do, but pg & e has guidelines. jessica castro has that story from the live desk. >> sending out great tips this morning to keep you safe, and the most important quick tip is to be staying far away and don't

touch a downed power line. what do you do if a power line actually hits your car? here are those tips. you want to stay inside your vehicle, and do not get out because the ground near you could be energized. honk your horn to get peoplpeop attention nearby, and call 911, and wait for emergency crews. if a fire starts then you have to get out, and in that case pg & e suggests you remove any loose clothing and jump out of your car as far as possible and shuffle away instead of picking up your feet, and grant it a lot to think about if you are in an emergency situation, and it's something to put on your radar and know. >> maybe just don't go out and about. officials are warning drivers of flooded roads today, if you don't have to drive anywhere, you are advised to stay off the roads to prevent accidents or your car getting stuck in

floodwaters. this 25-foot tree fell yesterday killing a woman in san ramon. he was walking on a golf cart path with her husband when it happened. first responders rushed her to the hospital but unfortunately she died. firefighters say it was a freak accident and nobody else was hurt by the falling tree. and then the sheriff's office tweeted out this picture. flooding started at 10:15 last night on beach drive and nearby streets. and then the creek here had dozens of residents evacuating from near morgan hill, and since the facility most recently flooded in march residents had no problem complying with the order to get out. residents along the creek that we spoke to say they are confident they are on high

enough ground to weather any blo flooding. >> hope they are right. and then officials tell us that several levees in the south part of the county are so old now, they would not mast muster with today's standards. the levees have failed a number of times in major storms and plans to rebuild them have stalled. in sonoma county the concern today is flooding pen grove. the office of emergency services is open as a flash flood remains in effect this morning. still ahead on abc 7 morning, a tragic turn for one los gatos mom and her son. and a different weather threat talking about a lot of snow. let's take a live look at the bay bridge toll plaza. you can see the lights on and

flood warnings for pen grove and pedestrian hraoupla. this is going to continue until at least 10:30, and then you can see santa rosa all the way down to sears point. that's for a lot of areas around the creeks that are starting to overflow their banks. we have to watch out for that until at least 11:15. and getting a lot of questions about whether the storm impact is still a 4. yeah, the heavy rain is causing power outages, and that happened while a lot of us were sleeping. the second wave is still coming in and in the north bay that's why we have the flood warnings right now, and they will slide down across the rest of the bay area over the next several hours as the storm temporarily moved to the north and then sliding

back south. now through 4:00, our highest impact, heavy rain and powerful wind gusts as francis just told us, and this storm is not over because we are in a lull where you live right now, doesn't mean you are out of the woods, more flooding and wind damage is on the way. 60-mile-per-hour gusts above 1,500 feet. more trees are going to come down, and more are us are going to lose power. and so here are my concerns, storm, stream and creek flooding. we are going to have more. debris floods, and we are going to have more. hydroplaning, i saw an accident happen in front of me because some clown was driving too fast for the conditions and took out another car. and i saw three accidents within ten miles of my house this morning.

there's more developing offshore. the heaviest right now is across the north bay. look at the reds and yellows, and as soon as it hits the ground, it's going to run off and flood, and the ground cannot hold anymore. here we are 6:00 this morning, some of that heavier rain starting to move into the heart of the bay, and you can see by 7:00, starts to exit. and then, wow, look, there's more coming. and it's more widespread and heavier at 10:00, and 11:00, and noon, it's back into the south bay, and reds showing up. that's heavier rain for the south bay and santa cruz mountains. so here's what is going to happen with the accuweather 7-day forecast. scattered showers and lighter showers mond showers tuesday and wednesday, but from now until 4:00, this is not over. >> don't be fooled. >> right. >> thank you, mike. having an emergency kit is
