.1 inches. watch out for large surf and breakers. the showers begin to shift south into the south bay and as we head towards 10:00 to breakers 18 to 24 feet. look at the wave heights now. 8 to 14 feet. rip current and beach erosion are possible. use precaution at the coast. a stronger storm is coming. it will be here pretty quickly. i'll be back with a closer look at that. >> thank you, sandhya. as the storm moves in, one area is the santa cruz mountain flooding, downed trees, that comes with the territory. >> that doesn't mean measures aren't being taken though. david louie is in scots volley to tell us how they're getting ready. >> reporter: they're responsible for keeping 600 miles of roads open no matter how fierce or

damaging this storm is. the county has two major rivers running through it, along with a network of creeks that feeds storm runoff into the rivers. flooding can happen whenever the creeks are not ot ot ot ot ot this is the nightmare that can happen. it face evacuations and flooded homes when the san lorenzo river rises. that's why vance wagner and tom moran are being proactive. they're part of a crew of 45 in the public works road department. >> we have a chance that some channels will flood during the rains and we'll be heading to those and we have been heading to them to get them cleared out and handle the amount of flow that we're expecting. >> they're removing silt that reduced the capacity to channel storm runoff into the san lorenzo river. >> we're trying to lower the level of the channel down to the flow line to allow the water to

move through here at its normal way it was designed, and that will hopefully prevent that flooding in the back area. >> this is the back area they're trying to protect. plateau and valley drive in felton. it floods when the creek can't handle the storm flow. the entire crew will be on minimum 12-hour shifts when a major storm hits running from trouble spot to another. the city has given out sand and sandbags to protect their property. this crew is protecting a home under construction that's vulnerable to the rain. >> we don't want sudden surprises. we're getting as ready as we can with the tarps here. >> reporter: as you probably saw, the dredging of bull creek is a formidable job and advisable to use heavier equipment than a single backhoe. however, that area, like many creeks in the santa cruz mountains, are dotted with trees, many with low-hanging branches. so heavier equipment can't be used for fear of damaging those

trees. we're live in scotts valley, david louie, abc 7 news. >> thank you, david. crews were busy in san francisco this morning. workers surrounded portions of a block with portable flood barriers. the plastic blocks are filled with water themselves to add weight. coupled with sandbags, they're designed to keep water out of low-lying door wells and entryways during heavy rain. >> if you're interested to help the city get ready for rain, san francisco has a program where you can adopt a drain. this is a map of adopted drains and those in need of adoptions. in order to do this, you can make an online pledge. it says you can clear the drain before it starts raining and report any issues during rain to the city. in the mountains, check this out. the latest storm is dumping snow. this is a live look at lake tahoe from the live camera there. you can see it's more like winter right now. a winter storm warning for the sierra goes into effect tomorrow night. there are some large waves

hitting bay area beaches because of this latest storm. a high surf advisory went into effect earlier in the day and is supposed to last until friday. matt keller went to pacifica pier where waves are already crashing in. >> not every ride was perfect at lind march beach in pacifica. >> a lot of close-outs. it was fun just to get wet, i go guess. >> the surf spot with more novices than pros was busy before the high surf advisory went into effect. the waves were 3 to 5 feet high. you could see waves reach 18 to 24 feet the next couple of days. >> too big for me. you got to know your limits. >> the bigger the better when it comes to crab season. more than a dozen people were using snares on their fishing poles on the pacifica pier looking to bring home a tasty crustacean. big waves don't help. >> the waves are kind of big. they move around so the crab don't eat. it's better when it's more calm.

>> looking for a picture of a blue sky and clear water, not this week. >> people like that picturesque postcard. i like it when it's dark and stormy. i can appreciate the complexities of the ocean. >> forecasts show the waves peak tomorrow. the high surf advisory will end friday at 4:00 a.m. in pacifica, matt keller, abc 7 news. the chp is reminding drivers to please be careful on the wet roads. the first rain of the season fell over the thanksgiving holiday. the chp says officers responded to 29 crashes in 2018. more than triple the same time last year. ahead of this storm, some drivers were stopping off at goodman's building supply in mill val i will buying tarps, rain jackets and boots. we spoke with an employee who wants people to slow down on the roads. >> we were in the slow lane going 45, 50. people were going like 75, 80. like they didn't care. my main concern is that we don't get into a car accident.

terrain. that means flooding is certainly possible on the roadways. please be careful out there as we head towards thursday. rainfall totals, this is picking up most lower elevations or looking at anywhere from about .7 inches to over an inch. like i said, the hills will be getting more than that. burn scar areas under a burn scar watch until 10:00 a.m. thursday. there is a risk of flash flooding and debris flows. here's a look at your accuweather forecast. level 2 wednesday night into thursday. it's a moderate strength storm bringing us stormy conditions. really rough. then a lighter system friday night into saturday. we'll get a break the rest of the weekend before another chance of rain next tuesday. welcome to winter. >> yeah. >> definitely. thanks, sandhya. coming up at 4:00, sales force

what is next for proposition c, the ballot mefsh measure to try to solve homelessness. >> it will increase taxes for the biggest businesses. marc benioff backed the initiative. anchor dan ashley is here to talk to him now. >> guys, as you well know, he was pretty much the poster child for prop c. marc benioff, the ceo of salesforce. >> thanks for having me again. >> last time we were sitting here, it was before the election and you were talking about prop c. it passed. >> i was pretty nervous. >> being here or prop c? >> prop c. i was nervous about being here. it had been a while. >> it passed, as you well know.

you were the public face of it. you put $5 million of salesforce money, $2 million of our own money. i know you're pleased. what happens next? you're the public face to get it passed. will you be as active in making sure the money is spent well? >> i was pleased that every san franciscan voted. it was record turnout for the city. it was amazing in every election, every san franciscan should vote. that 62% of them voted for proposition c because, look, we have a homeless crisis in the city. we all know that. and we need to take immediate action. prop c is going to get a badly needed funding to our nonprofits and ngos doing god's work on the streets. they need this money so that every homeless bern gets a home. >> roughly $3 million is the anticipation. going back, you pushed for it very hard. the critics were concerned that just throwing more money at this problem when we spend hundreds of millions of dollars won't

solve it. how active will you be now that it passed to make sure the money is used properly and what we hope gets done, gets done. >> i spoke with the mayor today and the money will start to get collected january 1st. i'm going to be working with everyone i'm already working with, which is all of -- of course, everyone in the city hall, as well as our local ng ohs and another huge stakeholderer here, ucsf. our doctors has tremendous guidance for us to get the homeless off the streets. they've done a tremendous job. >> do you anticipate, are you saying here today that you intend to continue to be involved in this effort going forward? >> yes. >> not just getting it passed but implemented properly? >> i'll continue to provide my own funding as i have been to the major homeless programs also. >> mayor london breed was not a supporter of this. but has come on board it seems in the aftermath. why the turn around and what do

you hope she'll accomplish? >> the mayor and i are united in forming prop c and focused on our number one issue in the city, which is getting our homeless into a home. also, just getting more housing into san francisco. these are the critical next steps to make our city even better. >> we've done a lot of reporting lately on this issue and i think it's shocked everyone in san francisco and everyone in the bay area about how bad it was, which is i suspect why 62% of the people who voted, voted -- >> 7500 record homeless individuals, 1200 homeless families on the streets. two kids each. we need to take emergency action. it's not just san francisco, by the way. you can see this in the major west coast cities, including los angeles, seattle and other cities in the united states. but some cities have taken action and have solved the problem and we will follow their lead. >> has anyone taken action like we just did with prop kr, to your knowledge? >> we are getting high levels of funding immediately to the

source. that's going to be incredible for our city. >> marc, if it doesn't work, what will you say then? >> we'll go on to the next dhthg and try something else. i am an entrepreneur. you have to take risks to succeed. you can't have a fear of failure. the most important thing, try new things. >> okay. a lot of ceos in town, a number of them supported this and a number of them did not. have you been in contact with any of them since? >> a lot of them are joining the prop c campaign. you probably saw jeff lawson and gave us a million dollars and brian chesky at airbnb gave us $5 million. i think you'll have more exciting news coming up. >> the critics are coming on board. >> not only that, the people said they were going to leave the city are doubling down. there was a lot of rhetoric and fear around getting this done. now that it's done, everyone is united about moving forward. the most important thing and especially to know this at a time like this, a season like

this, thanksgiving and christmas, we're more focused on the homeless than ever. >> earnings report today, third quarter? >> we had fabulous earnings, a fabulous courter. a 26% growth quarter. >> why, marc? why such great growth? >> we're the number one provider of customer relationship management. that lets customers connect in a whole new way. every company is going through a digital transformation. going from an analog company to a digital company. and every transformation starts and end with the customer. so when you look at a big opportunity that we did this quarter like the veterans administration where they're rebuilding the entire veterans administration, to look at the veteran being their customer and getting the veterans the services they so badly need, all of this is being managed by salesforce. let's talk about other news being made by salesforce. you have the giant tower. some people lovet some hate it.

there may be two more soon, right? >> that's right. down by the transit center where we're headquartered, salesforce tower, and right next to that, there is an oceanwide tower going up. across from that, we announced a second salesforce tower called parcel f. >> do you need that much space? >> we are already out of space. we're out of space in san francisco and that's why we need more opportunity. but they're not making any more san francisco. we're doing everything we can to get the space. >> very quickly on this point and then we'll take a quick break. as i said, some people love this tower, some don't like it. you're a san francisco hometown native. you've seen the skyline change dramatically. what do you say to the critics? >> i love it. if you're not sure about it, please contact me and i will take you to the top of the tower personally and show you what it's like. it's an amazing experience. >> all right. thanks, marc. coming up, i'll continue my

conversation with marc benioff.

back now to my conversation with marc benioff. facebook is making a lot of news lately. it's been a tough year for the social site. tw the revelnio hired a controversial opposition research firm to go after its critics. is the crisis in facebook affecting all of the tech world at all? >> well, it's a transformation of our technology industry. dan, i'll tell you that since i've been in the industry, the most important has been the best

idea wins. do you have the best idea or not have the best idea? that's created the great companies in the tech industry. that's no longer the number wrun most important thing. today it's trust. that is, what is the most important thing in your company? is it trust? and for companies like facebook, this is something that they're wrestling with. >> share a lot of personal information on that site, obviously. >> that's where industry has gone. we've moved into a relationship with these companies that is very intimate and deep. if we don't have trust with these companies, what do we have? that's when you see in the tech industry executives walking out or employees walking out or customers leaving. it's because there's a crisis of trust. for companies who have that, they need to make trust their number one value. >> that's what they trade on, obviously. sheryl sandberg, famous for lean in, turning that into a corporate phrase to empower women in the workplace. she's taken a lot of flack has .

some say she should lean out. >> this is a crisis of trust for facebook. for a lot of people, facebook is the new cigarettes. it's addictive. peopleusrery tin it. it's not good for you. you don't know how it's being used. not only that, they have designs on your children. there's a whole new product. facebook for kids. facebook needs to transform. they need to go from being about the best idea wins to trust. they need to change how they're running the company internally. that's been a struggle for them to articulate and to make that change. >> is that because sometimes the entrepreneur is not the best person to run the company across the board, not just tech industries? >> well, i don't know. i'm an entrepreneur. i'm running my company. but i really think it's about, you go -- you have to be ready to change and you have to be ready to pivot as an

entrepreneur and be ready to shift and move. that's not just about your product. it's about your values and your culture. you have to look at, care about? do i care about trust? do i care about giving back? about equality? these are things that ceos have to think about today that maybe they didn't have to a decade ago. let's talk about corporate culture. when you started salesforce, part of the culture you created was this idea of giving back and being the good corporate citizen. today, you helped make a wish using teddy bears. tell us very quickly about that. we have video to show. >> when we started salesforce a couple blocks from here on montgomery street, we put 1% of our equity and 1% of our profit and employees' time in a 501 c 3 charity. we had no employees. salesforce is wor-- we'll do 16 billion in revenue next year. we run 40,000 nonprofits for three. >> 40,000 in nonprofits and ngos

run for free. 3.5 million hours of volunteerism. you saw some of that in our lobbies. doing a -- $50 million right here to the local san francisco and oakland public schools who so badly deserve it. >> sure. >> in fact, we gave another $2 million dollar because our hearts are with everyone who has gone through this terrible tragedy with the fires. >> i wanted to button up with that. you helped the firefighters. >> that's right. >> great to have you with us. >> always great to be here. >> congratulations on the earnings report today. we'll keep you -- prop c. >> thank you for all your support. >> let's go back to ama and larry. >> it's great having marc in. he's big on the concept of owe hanna which means everybody is family. nobody is left behind. it's a big part of the reason for salesforce's success. easy to see why. coming up next, residents of paradise are trying to move

cleave jones. >> those two men taught us how to fight, love each other, defend each other and hold on to that dream that makes this city so special. >> cleave jones. what happened after the assassinations was also shocking and unbelievable. that was, of course, the fate of whhee. wasit arrested, brought trial, but the jury found him guilty of voluntary manslaughter and not murder. this after his lawyer argued that he suffered from some kind of diminished capacity due to his diet of junk food. he was dubbed the choice -- defense. >> unbelievable. >> that is hard to believe. >> what were you doing that specific day? you were working. >> i was assignment editor of another station and i was working at that time. i was at the desk when the police radios came out and there was incredible chatter. i've never heard chatter on

police radios ever like that, ever. just police officers interrupting other people. what's going on? code 33. shock. then i hear a dispatcher saying, i think someone has been shot at city hall. all units to city hall. i happened to have a reporter doing promos outside of hall that day. rick lausher. what's going on he said? it looks like the entire police department is rushing into city hall. i said i'll find out but i think somebody has been shot. >> moments later, maybe about ten minutes, he came out, called me on the phone, said i think the mayor is shot and somebody else has been shot. i think it's harvey milk. then he said, i'm going back in. of course, then the rest is really history. none of us in the newsroom could even believe that this could happen. the mayor and then harvey milk. i mean, those were changing

times. it was the murders were also personal to all of us. you know, we knew the two figures who were shot. >> yeah. >> still shocking the way the whole thing occurred. >> it is. >> vic lee, thanks so much for the insight. more news to cover today. retailers are starting to sell romaine lettuce again after the fda lifted an advisory and announced that anything grown outside of the central coast is likely not linked to the recent e. coli outbreak. as kristen sze explains, change is coming. >> romaine lettuce is starting to be back on store shelves. what can you expect? >> you'll soon see labels that will tell you where the lettuce comes from and where it was harvested. the voluntary action will help them quickly trace the source if there's another outbreak. >> the united fresh produce association put out this document advising growers, packers and retailers on the labels. they say the labels should be
