our worst nightmare." she went on to say, "the company has not had an accident in many years and the company is cooperating to find out what happened". now to the east bay, this family is lucky after a landslide that pushed right inside the home. this is just incredible. abc7 news reporter laura anthony is live in orinda. >> reporter: it's a massive slide that clobbered the back of this house and it's getting worse by the minute. >> i heard a loud noise and i thought it might be thunder. >> reporter: paul told us he was in a back bathroom when this sea of mud and debris came crashing through the back of his orinda home. >> i came out and said, well, maybe it's hail. and then i saw the wall of the office starting to come in at me. >> reporter: his house was hit

by the bottom edge of a slide estimated to contain 180,000 cubic feet of material. as shown here from sky 7, the slide is a good 200 yards long. and while his home was initially yellow-tagged with rain pouring down all day, the house could be red tagged soon. >> the pressure that this hill slide is putting on his house is just -- it's phenomenal how much mother nature can push around things that are in its way. >> reporter: on the other side of orinda, another slide covered the roadway. city crews are keeping a close eye on it stopping by every hour to look for any sign of movement. so far, it hasn't hit any homes but residents are anxious. >> sure, it's my house so you can't help but be a little nervous about what is happening there. >> reporter: and we're back here live. this mud and debris continues to come down.

we've been here for a few hours and it's gotten worse in the time that we have been here. this house was initially yellow-tagged. unfortunately, the homeowner just learned that his home has now been red-tagged. of course, the big concern that we're seeing behind this, this slide isn't done yet. things continue to move. live in orinda, laura anthony, abc7 news. >> scary, laura. thank you. and a large eucalyptus tree fell across the road between arroya and avenida nueva. flooding continues to be a problem on highway 37 in novato. the chp diverted cars. the area is blocked off because it's been flooded. the closure may last several more days. rising floodwaters have been a real problem across the bay area, as you can clearly see. it's a good reminder for drivers

to avoid flooded areas like this. kate larson has a look at some of the problems in the north bay. kate? >> reporter: in just a couple of hours, this area was very water-logged and the businesses and homes around here were really looking like they were about to flood. fortunately, that has subsided in the past few hours. nevertheless, a lot of rain and water-logged areas here in marin county today. borrow the volvo and go. teenagers turned this neighborhood into a tubing run on a rain day away from school in marin county. >> the last time school canceled a couple days ago bei, i though should go tubing but the flood went down faster than we could get together. >> reporter: today, they were prepared with the car, the rope and the raft ready to go once his driveway flooded when a

deluge of rain off the creek. >> it's fun. we're not going fast but it doesn't flood here often. >> reporter: today, the storm wasn't fun and games for everyone. a pine tree crashed onto this wooden garage today. >> we found what looks to be a 50, 60-foot tree that came down into the garage and the power was affected in the entire area. >> reporter: fortunately, nobody was home or hurt when the tree fell. this captain with the fire department says there's often no warning when it tree falls. given the heavy storms, he suggests inspecting the trees around your house. >> if you see the ground starting to erode, that could be a warning sign that it's an unstable area. >> reporter: as for those flooded streets which turn into small lakes, marin health and human services wants to remind everyone that as fun as it works, floodwaters can contain

dangerous chemicals and suing so it's best to stay out, if possible. kate larsen, abc7 news. >> thank you, kate. we want to go to bob ferguson, washington's attorney general. >> they sued over the ban on travelers from seven predominantly muslim countries and the ninth circuit court of appeals ruled in favor of keeping that ban from continuing to be in effect. listen. >> after a lengthy pause, the answer was yes. here's what the ninth circuit had to say about that. there's no precedent to support this claimed unreviewability which is contrary to the fundamentally structure of our constitutional democracy. i'm so proud of our team. as many of you know, they have been working literally around the clock on behalf of the people of this state it's the folks you see here who will be

introducing shortly but also attorneys and professional staff around our office in different offices spread out across the state, all working in different ways to assist us with this filing which has been done under time constraints, as you know. and i couldn't be more proud of the team work that's been involved. with, that i'll turn to noah who will -- i'll ask him to say a few words and summarize essentially what the ninth circuit court of appeals did here today and then a few words from colleen. noah? >> thank you, bob. what we argued to the court yesterday was that it's the role of the courts to say what the law is and to serve as a check on the executive branch and that's what the court has done in this opinion, in this excellent opinion that seriously considered all of the government's arguments and

rejected them. and it's important to recognize the real impact of this has been having on people's lives. we've been hearing from people all over the state and the world what a difference this is making. i want to thank bob ferguson for having the bravery to bring this case in the first place and to authorize us to do all of this. i thank the governor and the people for their support in bringing this case and most especially the people across our office as the attorney general was saying, the people in my office, like ann, kelly, kelly wood, kristen, wendy. anyway, i'm going to forget people. the bottom line is, we have an outstanding office here in the a.g.'s office. we're not used to the limelight like this but we're proud to have been able to play this role. just briefly about the opinion, it is, as the attorney general said, a complete victory.

it upholds the district court's injunction in every respect and we couldn't be more pleased with how careful and thoughtful the opinion is. the judges did their jobs carefully and we appreciate their work and are thankful for the attention that they gave to this case. that's all i'm going to say for now. i'll turn it over to colleen. >> we've been listening in live where officials in washington state have been reacting to the ninth circuit court of appeals here in san francisco, upholding the washington judge's suspension of president trump's travel ban. we'll continue to follow this and bring you the latest in what happens now as we continue this newscast. let's move on for the moment. a controversial cabinet nominee has been sworn in. the president is dealing with the ethics issues swirling around one of his senior advisers. 49ers owner introduces kyle shanahan and john lynch. we'll hear from all three right

here on abc7 at 4:00. a popular fast food restaurant is trying something

right now, back to our breaking news. a ninth circuit court has upheld the travel ban suspension. >> lisa, what is the mood like? >> reporter: the rain chased quite a few people away but earlier they had signs that said no ban, no ban.

very happy with the judge's decision. here's what one woman had to say. >> i'm here because i was very interested in this decision. i'm pleased with this decision and i hope it will continue in this regard and we'll make a statement to immigrants that they are welcome here. >> reporter: interestingly, i did speak with one woman who happened to be walking by and she just came from syria two days ago. she had her visa and because of all of the back and forth, she got an airplane ticket and rushed to the u.s. she wanted to express to everyone that all syrians are not terrorists and she did feel like what was happening is very unfair and she's also very happy with the judge's decision. more tonight at 5:00 and 6:00.

lisa amin gulezian, abc7 and now sports anchor mike shumann is joining us. we begin again. >> i have a feeling this is going to stick. kyle shanahan and john lynch introduced as the head coach and general manager. kyle will be the 20th head coach in franchise history. he's been to the super bowl and, of course, lost with the falcons offensive coordinator. he's gone from that and to his dream as being a head coach. i asked him what the emotions have been like. >> after the super bowl, for the next 48 hours, it was as tough of a feeling i've gone through for a while and i'll probably grieve that a lot in my life and it will never go away but to be here and to be a part of the

49ers, i've always been hungry to be part of a super bowl but after going what i went through, i need this organization to get back to that. >> we understand that there are some cynics out there and that's rightly so. i think if you sit back and watch the team that we'll put out there and the things we'll emphasize, i think the faithful will be proud. >> are you pleased? >> yeah, i'm pleased but i'm pleased because i've known these guys over the last month and nobody is going to work harder. i don't think there are people who have the same talent level and certainly their chemistry and compatibility and their ability to put ego aside and build the 49ers, not what the head coach or gm wants but what is best for the team. >> well, when you don't seem to care who gets the credit, you

have a winning franchise. reporting live in san francisco, back to you. and your home for the warriors show down with the thunder, it's kevin durant's first trip back to okc. it's followed by the preand post game analysts. saturday night. here on abc7. don't miss that. >> it's going to be fun. big game. all right. on to this nasty weather we're dealing with all around the bay area. pretty intense. >> the highest impact has been felt in the north bay where now the rain is tapering off a little bit. you can see the massive area of green and yellow over the south bay and the east bay and in the peninsula where the steadiest and heaviest rain is occurring right now up north. we have showers but nothing very steady or heavy at the moment.

concerns will remain because the ground is super saturated. we'll rezoomtsume the animation 11:00. light rainfall moves through the bay area. even for the morning commute, even if it's not raining, there will be lots of wet pavement and flooded roadways. exercise caution. late tomorrow night, pockets of steady showers moving through that continue through saturday morning. finally, after about 5:00, partial clearing. overnight, this night, look for scattered showers continuing with low temperatures mainly in the low to mid-50s. tomorrow, scattered showers as well with a few breaks here and there. the sun may burn through. in the afternoon hours, mid- and upper 50s at the coast and mid-upper 50s in the north bay and 60 or just above in most
