good morning, at 5:00 a.m. and we made it to friday, february 3. i'm natasha zouves. >> i'm reggie aqui with jessica castro, meteorologist mike nicco, and traffic reporter alexis all resplendent in red this morning, doing it for women's heart health. so something to think about today.

also, something to think about, the wet weather. >> yeah, maybe a red umbrella to match your outfit this morning. that would be nice. hi, evg. remember yesterday we talked about this storm would have a little bit more rain and come in a little bit later and here it is. you can see it on san mateo right there, burling gaim and just about to move into los altos, sunnyvale, palo alto, expected to look like this. check out the bay bridge toll plaza. notice how it's raining pretty heavily and coming down sideways because there's a breeze. heaviest rain now. by noon through 7:00, it will become scattered to isolated but let's worry about now and talk about the commute with alexis. yeah, not going to be the smoothest one, i'm guessing and yeah, it is really coming down right now for that bay bridge commute. on top of that, we have a high wind advisory issued by chp so wet and windy and we have several crashes as you would imagine. five to six vehicles involved in this one in san ramon, southbound 680 before crow canyon, three left lanes are

blocked and two people are having to be transported due to injuries so keeping an eye on that one, right now about a mile and a half backup. and we are watching another round of storms hitting the santa cruz mountains pretty hard. >> we're not talking so much about the rain this time but about the amount it is costing to fix problems caused by all the wet weather. abc7 news reporter matt keller live for us along highway 17 in the santa cruz mountains. >> reporter: good morning, reggie aqui, and i am actually standing in the rain and we've got some wind up here in the mountains and also in the valley. when i was driving this morning, you had to have both hands on the wheel. i'm going to walk through some of this mud here. it's kind of damp up here in the mountains and then when you get all the way up here, you can see the grass here kind of blowing in the wind and i'm going to feel like a golfer here as i grab some grass and you can just see it's blowing away from me and really, these wind gusts are going to be up to 40 miles per hour up here in the mountains and the downpours are going to be intense as well and when you're driving up here in the

santa cruz mountains, you really never know what you're going to run into before and after a storm. this massive tree branch fell yesterday afternoon. i just checked the chp traffic website and it shows it's still closed a hard closure there. price tag to fix everything up here in the mountains is big. the director of public works for santa cruz county says more than $20 million in road damage has been done and the county is waiting for financial help for the state and federal governments. >> i've talked to a lot of different public works directors that are saying, how many millions have you got? we're probably the worst in santa cruz, one of the worst counties. we just took a direct hit. >> reporter: be careful driving out there, whether you're in the santa cruz mountains or anywhere else in the bay area. this new video from redwood city, downpours will hit you and you add in the winds and it could make it very dangerous to be out there on the roads. 17 is always a big issue whenever there's a big storm out there but i just checked the chp traffic website, and it shows it's clear right now. reporting live in the santa cruz

mountains, matt keller, abc7 news. matt, thank you. we first told you about the strange mystery surpding the death of a berkeley couple last week, valley and roger and their two cats were found dead inside their apartment. officials want their neighbors to evacuate their homes for 24 hours. abc7 news reporter lisa amin gulezian reports on why that's causing controversy for some. >> reporter: so are you going to leave? residents in this four pleks are anxious wondering what to do after receiving this notice. unit number 4 is where the bodies of roger and valley morash and their two cats were found. a detective wants all tenants to turn their heaters on nonstop and highly recommend that you stay out of your apartment for this 24-hour period. >> i'm just nervous. i'm stressed out every day. i just really wish that the detective would return our calls

and communicate more with us as to what's going on. >> reporter: no one returned my call either. very little information has been released since the morashs died that day. everyone in the building was tested for spiked carbon monoxide levels. since then, speculation has run rampant here. >> it's probably co, so the question is, what's the source of the co? well, furnaces are the number one cause of carbon monoxide poisoning. >> reporter: since this is not considered a mandatory evacuation, neither the building owner nor the police department will pay for the tenants' 24-hour relocation. in berkeley, lisa amin gulezian, abc7 news. as uc berkeley continues to clean up after violent protests, we are hearing from a woman who was attacked not once but two times. >> you probably saw her on our news yesterday. she was pepper sprayed while our reporter wayne freedman was interviewing her and our camera was rolling.

>> reporter: are you surprised, ma'am? >> awful stuff, right? well, abc news spoke with kiara robles yesterday on campus. she says after wednesday night's incident she was targeted again. >> they hit you with flag poles? >> they hit all my friends with flag poles, they sprayed us with mace. i had to jump over a fence. i'm lucky they didn't chase me. if they wanted to do some serious damage to me in that moment, i would have been completely unable to stop them. >> we posted a video of her pepper spray attack wednesday night on the abc7 news facebook page. as of this morning, it's been viewed more than 750,000 times. well, new this morning, another stern warning from president trump to iran for test firing a ballistic missile. >> the president posting this message on twitter this morning, saying iran is playing with fire. they don't appreciate how kind president obama was to them. not me. white house officials tell abc news, new sanctions against iran could come as early as today.

u.s. first put iran on notice earlier this week after iran tested a ballistic missile. iranian officials fired back saying they don't need permission to defend themselves. now president trump says nothing is off the table, including taking military action. and this morning, the trump administration has removed a minor sanction against russia. the sanction prevented american companies from doing more than $5,000 worth of business with moscow's federal security service in a year. it had the unintended consequence of not allowing u.s. firms to pay trade-related costs to russia. the sanction was put into effect during the last weeks of the obama administration. president trump is also taking a strong stance on a tax rule involving churches and in his words, the president promises to destroy an amendment that blocks churches from engaging in political campaign activity. currently, if churches break that rule, they will lose their tax exempt status. at a prayer breakfast yet, mr. trump said freedom of religion is a sacred right and he wants representatives of

faith to speak without fear of retribution. he added that religious freedom is under threat everywhere in the u.s. a new round in the war of words this morning between president trump and former california governor arnold schwarzenegger. >> jessica at the live desk with the president's latest punch. >> here is the tweet he sent out first this morning. he says, yes, arnoldrd arnold schwarzenegger did a really bad job as governor of california and even wort on "the apprentice" but at least he tried hard. yesterday at the national prayer breakfast, president trump jokingly said folks should pray for schwarzenegger because of bad ratings on the show. he took over from trump and schwarzenegger fired back on social media saying he was happy to switch jobs with the president so the americans could sleep comfortably again, referencing his time as california's governor so this morning with the latest tweet, the battle continues. i'll keep tracking it. i'll let you know if schwarzenegger responds. happening today, san francisco's democratic

with larger pipes, leveling the roadway because of settling, the westbound lanes have dropped about two feet lower than the eastbound lanes. additional pumping and maybe even addings a barrier. highway 37 connects vallejo and marin county goods and commuters move through here about 40,000 vehicles a day. and it's getting busier. caltrans says traffic has increased here by 11% over the past five years. reporting live in novato, amy hollyfield, abc7 news. well, the wet weather brought a tree down in marin. take a look at this. it got caught on some power lines. right now, nicasio valley road is reopened after it was closed overnight. this has been a problem area in the last couple of storms for people who use that road. crews did manage to clean it up in time for the morning commute. president trump is tweeting once again about the violent protests in berkeley. this morning, he says, professional anarchists, thugs, and paid protesters are proving

park and fisherman's wharf is now on the city's high injury network according to our partners at hoodline. what that means is even though these streets represent just 6% of all city streets, they account for 60% of severe and fatal pedestrian crashes. so now the city hopes a physical separation like planters or concrete barriers or curbs are going to reduce crashes. the project is right now just in the design phase. no completion date at this time. if you live or work in oakland, do not worry when you hear emergency sirens burglarying across the city today. the city will be holding a full system test of its upgraded emergency siren so the first one is at noon. you'll hear a slow wail for about 90 seconds and that will be followed about 15 minutes later by the same thing. the city's worked to upgrade the system is scheduled to be complete bid the end of april. check out live doppler 7. yeah, the bay bridge toll plaza, emeryville, piedmont, oakland,
