alert in the san ramon a southbound 680, multi-car crash still blocking the three left lanes, a trailer came unhooked from the cab of a semi that was involved in this crash and that was hit by another truck 15 minutes ago. nowhere near clearing, some really heavy rain in that stretch too and a live look at those conditions, southbound 680 through walnut creek, you are crawling along. we have a couple rollover crashes, i'll talk about those coming up. that round of storms hitting the santa cruz mountains hard. >> not just the rain but also the bottom line. we're looking at the amount it's going to cost to fix problems caused by all the wet weather. abc7 news reporter matt keller live along highway 17 in the santa cruz mountains. >> reporter: hi, reggie, i really wanted to show you how the rain will bounce off the window. that's why i'm inside my van right now. actually, i just wanted to stay out because it's nice and warm inside and you don't have to get wet out here because i want to tell everybody at home when you go outside, it is really uncomfortable, not just because of the rain, but because of the

wind. i'm going to have my photographer turn around and show you highway 17 because that's the real issue. you got to have both hands on your wheel this morning when you're driving because you can get pushed around a lot when you're out here on the road. winds gusting up to 40 miles per hour here in the santa cruz mountains. and yeah, downpours can be intense at times. and you really don't know what you're going to run into up here in the santa cruz mountains during and after a storm. glen arbor at newel creek is still closed this morning after a huge tree branch fell there yesterday afternoon. it's just one of many issues up in the mountains. the director of public works says more than $20 million in road dustin johnsamage has been the county is waiting for help. >> i've talked to a lot of different public works directors and they're saying $5 million, $10 million, and 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 is new video from the morning in redwood city. downpours will hit you and you add in the winds and it makes it very dangerous on the roads. i just checked the chp website. there are wires down in bolder creek so anywhere here in the mountains, you can come across something that happened overnight. you're not aware of it, maybe nobody's aware of it, and you're the first to come across it so be very, very careful out there. and you can always track the storm with our abc7 news app. we have live doppler 7 on the app and mike is always updating his information. you can always enable push alerts to get weather advisories right on your phone or tablet. more on this mystery. tonight, berkeley police will turn on the heaters in a fourplex for 24 hours. it's their effort to find out more about the death of a couple late last month. the bodies of valerie and roger morash and two cats were found in their units. residents are being asked to turn on their heaters all night

and being strongly urged to evacuate. the implication is the couple was killed by carbon monoxide poisoning. >> i'm 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. >> because this is not considered a mandatory eevacuation, neither the building owner nor the police department are going to be paying for the tenants' 24-hour relocation. as uc berkeley continues to clean up after violent protests, we are hearing from a woman who was attacked not once but two times. >> she got pepper sprayed while our reporter wayne freedman was interviewing her. and our camera was rolling. take a look. >> reporter: are you surprised? ma'am? ma'am? >> abc news spoke with yesterday and she got targeted again. >> hey hit all my friends with

flag poles, sprayed us with mace. 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 the video of her pepper sprayed attack wednesday pepper sprayed attack wednesday night on our abc7 news new this morning, another stern warning from president trump to iran partner test firing a ballistic missing. >> the president posted, 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. the u.s. first put ian on notice earlier this week after iran tested another 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. happening today, a federal judge in boston could decide

whether to extend the president's travel ban. a seven-day restraining order was granted on sunday in a lawsuit full-timed by the aclu. its lawyers claim the ban against people from seven muslim majority countries is discriminatory and unconstitutional. the university of san francisco is asking president trump to allow its undocumented students to stay in the country. this according to "the examiner." there are about 100 of them on campus right now. they volunteered their status in exchange for enrollment under then president obama's deferred action for childhood arrivals or the d.r.e.a.m.ers program. school officials say the students made themselves voluntary targets in the wake of the president's immigration crackdown. this just in. texas took a strong stand against sanctuary cities. a senate panel there just passed a bill to withhold state money from local jurisdictions that don't hand over immigrants in custody for possible

deportation. despite protests, the committee passed the measure moments ago, and it goes to the full senate next week and why does this matter to us here? california heading in the opposite direction. as you know, we have several sanctuary cities, san francisco, oakland, san jose, right now, lawmakers in sacramento, in fact, are considering two bills to make california a sanctuary state. reggie, natasha, back to you. the family of a local woman killed by a hit and run driver needs your help this morning to find that killer. plus a terrifying explosion inside of a cheesecake factory in southern california leaves dozens of customers diving for cover. and it is raining again this morning. taking a live look at the bay bridge toll plaza backing up and as you can see, wet roads there, as you can see, wet roads there, so please be

paint. >> carly was born here. raised here. lived her entire life here. she was the kindest, sweetest, most caring and thoughtful person you could ever want to meet. >> police believe flynn was hit by a white mid-size suv. they are hoping any witness could come forward with more information. crazy story out of southern california. a man on the run this morning after he threw a homemade explosive right into a cheesecake factory in pasadena and this happened at the height of the dinner rush. 6:00 p.m. last night. police say the man threw that device into the restaurant and then took off. the explosion, of course, scared the customers, but police say somehow no one got seriously hurt. parents, you have likely heard the warnings about those laundry pods and kids thinking they're toys or candy. now there is a new reason to keep them away from your kids. more and more toddlers are getting chemical burns in their eyes from the laundry detergent packets. experts say the number has spiked in cases of the packets breaking and then kids getting it squirted into their eyes or

the detergent getting on their hands and then rubbing their eyes. the number of cases has skyrocketed from less than 1% in 2012 to 26% in 2015. researchers say burns caused by the detergents are typically more severe than an we told you there are dozens of problems on the roadways because of the wet weather this morning. alexis, what are you seeing now. >> i have got all kinds of stuff going ton here. i was just trying to finish making my maps. i do have some new information in san ramon. southbound 680, at crow canyon, we had that major crash all morning in the three left lanes, that happened around 4:30 today but that cleared a few moments ago. however, i'm just hearing that i have a new collision in the far right lane so keeping a close eye on that. in the meantime, we have some residual delays about 15 miles an hour out of danville, little bit faster once you get closer to where that crash was in san ramon. bay bridge toll plaza definitely crawling here and it is a wet and windy commute. we do have high wind advisories for the bay bridge and the

richmond-san rafael bridge and mike you've been telling us all morning as well. it's going to continue through the morning rush hour. this came in a little bit later as we expected and came in with a little more punch. quarter of an inch the last six hours on the san mateo bridge so you can see it is wet and raining lightly there. here's a look at the big picture and you can see the yellows and the oranges really starting to arc their way into the eastern sections of the bay area and it's going to push into the central valley, probably by about 7:00 just like we talked about yesterday. and here's a look at the big picture. you can definitely see a little bit of a break developing for this weekend. tomorrow morning through most of sunday is going to be dry, but once we get to 8:00 sunday night, it opens up again about a third of an inch here in walnut creek as we look south on 680. moderate this morning to lighter showers and mild as we head into the afternoon hours. the weekend's bookend but that wet weather i just talked about and unsettled into next week. this storm is a 1 on our storm impact scale even though we have some downpours out there, the breezes aren't damaging and most

of the flooding has been standing water on the roads, no nudes or anything like that yet. it is moving into the sierra so that winter storm warning continues until 4:00 tomorrow morning. 4 to 12 inches from lake level to 7,000 feet. let's come back home and here you go at 7:00, you can see the yellows and oranges moving away and by noon, a lot of green out there. that will continue at 5:00 through 11:00 and then as we head overnight, just waves of light showers that will taper significantly during the weekend. so while i have the storm impact scale on sunday, saturday and sunday, that's because the heavy rains coming in sunday at 8:00 right as you're leaving your super bowl party. be prepared to get wet. speaking of all that snowfalling again in tahoe, here's alexis with the toyota tahoe report. basically, u.s. 50 is the only spot you're not going to have to chain up. 80, chains on, 89 is closed between squaw valley road and the 80 junction due to police

activity and 88 chains are required to pickets junction so not the best conditions this morning if you are driving up but light drive times since it is so early year. squaw alpine,104 to 155 inch base, heavenly, 135 to 185 inch base. and let's take a look at a few other of those totals. sugar bowl, sierra, and kirkwood, 105 to 197 inch base so plenty of snow once you make it up there. reggie aqui, could i get some "jaws" music? this video looks like it's straight from the movie. look at what was circling them. this is in south australia. they were launching cautiously as this huge great white just went around and around their boat. this happened last wreak. the fishermen believe the shark is at least 12 feet long. it just lurked there in the water checking them out for about a half hour before it

are going to do for the year 2017? >> hey, linda, that's a great question. don't we all wish we knew the answer to that. look, right now, the average rates for a 30-ye conformi conformi conforming mortgage are hovering around 4.5%. the rate hike is expected this year, summer probably, but that is all just a guess. a big shock to the economic world would change things. linda, thanks for your question. >> if you have a question for michael finney, just record it on your smartphone, send it to us and share it on social using #askfinney. president trump is responding again this morning to this week's protests in berkeley. officials in the north bay taking action to stop more flooding like what you're see hearing on highway 37. it's not going to come cheap. plus we continue digging into those attacks in paris early this morning. irl tell you why the city is concerned that it could affect tourism. we'll dig a little deeper into

president's immigration action and for uber drivers picking up passengers at jfk last weekend even though a taxi protest was going on at the same time. more than 200,000 customers have deleted their accounts. after that, uber established a $3 million legal fund to support its immigrant drivers. you are going to want to know about all of this. so much news coming from the white house so we put together a president trump tracker. here are three stairs you're going to be talking about today. >> number one, kelleyanne conway and the #bowling green massacre. if you're wondering if you missed reports of a massacre in bowling green, kentucky, you did not because there never was one. last night, the president's adviser used the fictional massacre to defend the president's travel ban. she said she meant to say bowling green terrorists to refer to two iraqi men arrested in kentucky in 2011. howard stern says president trump just wants to be loved. the radio host talked about his long-time friend on his radio show and he believes the

presidency is not good for mr. trump's health. stern also claims that mr. trump is hoping he can prove voter fraud in order to put hillary clinton in office. the president so far has not responded. number three, a campaign called grab your wallet has led to a boycott of retailers carrying donald trump merchandise, nor tdstrom is dropping ivanka trump's fashion line not because of the boycott but because of dropping sales. there is a new report that says apple is no longer the most valuable brand in the world. >> the top spot belongs now to google. the brand is worth $109 billion, making it the most lucrative in the world. that is the first time that google has topped the list since 2011. the annual ranking comes from brand finance. it says apple's monetary value has plummeted 27%.

i mean, don't cry too much. they're still at $107 billion. but it does allow google to say it's number one. a rare treat is rolling out in the bay area today. but you have to wait a while to get a taste. today in santa rosa, pliny the younger is going to make its 14th annual debut at the russian river brewing company and look, there will be lots of company. whenever we shot this, there was lots of rain. today won't be any different. each february, beer lovers line up for a taste of this triple ipa. it's only available on draft at that brew pub for two weeks. >> pliny the younger is like a ghost, man. everyone knows about it. it's mythical. >> i never tried the beer but i heard it's really good. >> i've never seen it. if i had, i would have drank it. >> there's only a daily allocation and once that's served, they're done for the day. each visitor is allowed three glasses of pliny the younger and they only get three hours to drink them. although, let's -- three is enough, isn't it? right? >> i don't know.

you know, mike, it's only 6:48 in the morning, i have a feeling you are ready to go. >> i am. and you know, we had a rodent yesterday tell us, why didn't pliny the younger just tell us every year they roll that out so i can forecast rain. i'd much rather have the beer than the rodent. that's what it boils down to. good morning, everybody. about 1/3 inch of rain on the san mateo bridge. everything's moving so slowly there. it's not quite as bad as some of the other lesser traveled bridges as far as standing water but it is definitely wet. winds have tapered just a little bit, gusting to 29 at sfo, 24 at half moon bay, gusts up to 25 miles per hour earlier. east/west bridges, you got to watch out. it's wet and the wind is hitting you cross waiz. we've transitioned in the moderate rain to light rain, same thing in the east bay and up in the north bay, we've got some scattered showers and it's close to mt. st. helena, maybe a little san francisco, six-hour total about 1/3 of an inch.

showers today, heaviest, we've had them this morning. longer periods of dry weather tomorrow and sunday and then unsettled, rain in the forecast all seven days. today's storm impact scale is 1. we're getting out of the brief morning downpours and breezy conditions and transferring to scattered showers already. from 7:00 to noon, and then from noon to 5:00, still a lot of green on the map. if you're heading out this evening, take an umbrella. you may need it. isolated shower here and there. 8:00 tomorrow morning, pretty wet and then just some isolated showers through saturday evening and look how dry it gets sunday morning, but then we get to 8:00, just as the super bowl ends, and you're about to head on out, another wave of some heavy downpours starts to roll in. that will linger through monday's morning commute as if it won't be bad enough after the super bowl to try to get out of bed. tuesday, wednesday, and thursday, they're all 1s, though, light on our storm impact scale. alexis? you have to go to bed as soon as the halftime show is done like i'm going to do and

you'll be okay getting up on monday morning. right now, not so much. lot of issues to get to. i want to take you back to napa county right now. full closure of highway 29. it is only on that northbound side so i was able to confirm that. and this is at napa junction. this is due to flooding that is a flood-prone area so we have had some heavy rain push through here in morning and that is going to cause some headaches. you can see that red on the traffic flows. eastbound 80 at travis boulevard, if you are heading to sacramento, three left lanes blocked due to a crash involving a tractor-trailer. just got a new crash in westbound 80 before davis, sounds like we have at least a couple lanes down there as well. quick check of the bay bridge toll plaza. we've had those metering lights on since about 5:27 this morning, little break in the rain for now but you can see the sheen on that pavement and it is slow getting through there once you make it to the bay bridge, you're doing better. more drive times, 680, # 2 minutes, southbound 101 recovering from that crash in san rafael, and northbound 17, just slight delays there between
