the greek theater. now the road itself reopened within the last hour or so, but it was closed for much of the day as tree service workers were removing the debris. this selfie was taken moments after a 250-foot eucalyptus tree came crashing down on a vehicle. you can hear the rain coming down loudly sunday afternoon on the berkeley campus. the windy conditions were strong enough to topple the massive tree, killing a 32-year-old man inside the car. >> in all my life, i've never had anything like this happen to me. i've seen trees come down. i've seen branches fall off. but typically, the wind is blowing the storm. and yesterday, it's pretty large storm. >> today tree service workers continue to clean up debris, even chopping down another eucalyptus tree nearby. the man killed was not a student. authorities believe he could have been visiting someone on campus. >> let's hope that that was sort

of a freak accident. i doubt that it's going to be something that continues to happen, but definitely something that campus should be aware of. >> campus officials say they're in the process of reviewing ongoing tree assessments. last month a protest delayed the removal of dozens of trees from people's park in berkeley. trees are being cut down as part of a wider project to catch up on deferred maintenance. students believe more can be done to better maintain the trees. >> look at the structural integrity of some of these trees just to make sure it's not dangerous to anybody. >> and it's unclear if the campus will take any further action. now the coroner's office has identified the man killed as 32-year-old alexander grant of novato. reporting live on the uc berkeley campus, carlos salcedo, abc 7 news. >> just a terrible piece of bad luck, carlos. awful. thank you. >> that tree came down during yesterday's heavy rain, and more stormy weather is coming our way. >> yeah, a lot of rain, a lot of

wind. sandhya patel is here with the forecast. sandhya? >> yeah, dan and kristen. that stormy weather could spell problems over the next several days. we do have some spotty light showers. this is not the storm. it's just a moist flow across cloverdale, geyserville, geyser's road, dry creek road. the main storm is still well off the coastline. and it is winding up. this is why we're expecting some strong winds. so it's a level 2 on our impact tomorrow on wednesday. expecting anywhere from 1 to 3 inches of rain in the north bay in the mountains. up to 3/4 of an inch in other areas. wind gusts 45 to 60 miles per hour. wind advisory 7:00 a.m. tomorrow to 10:00 a.m. wednesday. could see some downed trees, blowing debris and isolated power outages not out of the question. same storm kicking up the surf. high surf advisory nine p.m. tomorrow night until 9:00 p.m. wednesday. large westerly swell. the break coerce be 18 to 24 feet or higher, possibly over 27 feet, which means the potential is there for some low-lying

flooding right along the coast. i'll be back with an hour-by-hour timeline coming up. kristen, dan? >> thank you very much. california has a new governor tonight. gavin newsom was sworn in today as the state's new leader. >> and late today in his first act as governor, he signed an executive order establishing a drug purchase marketplace. it could make california the biggest single purchaser of prescription drugs in the country through medi-cal. >> now the idea here is to have greater leverage in negotiating lower prices, something the new governor hopes will lead to a ripple effect of lower prices for other customers. >> abc 7 news reporter laura anthony joins us from sacramento with more on the governor's eventful first day. laura? >> gavin newsom ran on a bold agenda, and we saw no letup in that today at the capitol. in his speech when he talked about issues like health care and protects for immigrants, but we also saw a softer side of the new governor, especially when his young son took the stage with him. >> this is a time for courage, and we will rise to meet it.

>> california's new govern is expected to be more brash, more aggressive than his predecessor. >> and i will well and faithfully -- >> moments after being sworn in, gavin newsom set the tone. >> at a time when so much of america is divided, we are united. we will offer an alternative to the corruption and the incompetence in the white house. >> i object! >> newsom's swearing in was briefly interrupted by a protester, but it was his young son, 2-year-old dutch who stole the show while his dad was up on stage. >> this is exactly how it was scripted. we will support parents. they need support. trust me. >> among those in attendance, many big political names with deep roots in the bay area, including house speaker nancy pelosi and san francisco mayor london breed. >> homelessness, mental illness, things that are struggles for mayors, he is going to lead the

way in helping us address those issues. >> what gavin newsom, governor newsom is doing is taking us forward. not only the state, but we're going to set the example for the rest of the country. >> anything you heard that concerns you about his agenda? >> well, yes, because i know we do not have an unlimited capacity to fund government. >> it's been an honor to serve with him these past eight years and to learn from him. >> and while newsom clearly considers four-term governor jerry brown a mentor, the 51-year-old businessman and family man is obviously determined to make his own way. >> the country is watching us. the world is waiting on us, and the future depends on us. and we will seize the moment. >> now perhaps one of newsom's greatest challenges in the future is how to balance california's great wealth with the growing problems of poverty

and homelessness in many of its cities. in sacramento, laura anthony, abc 7 news. >> laura, thank you. now as laura mentioned, the governor's son dutch right there. dad was busy giving his address. the 2-year-old decided to make a second appearance and joined him on the stage. he seemed a little bit dazed. and when his mom, the first partner came to get him, dutch darted behind his dad and he stands there, wandered to the edge of the stage where everyone could see him. his brother tried to get him to come down. yeah, but dutch just was not interested. he said i'm good. i'm good right here. he appeared to dance a little bit. and then mom and his big brother finally decided hey, his time in the spotlight was up. they grab him. >> that's cute. >> i know. and governor newsom joked this is exactly how everything was scripted. that was kind of a riley moment for him. >> like steph curry. after today's ceremony, arnold schwarzenegger took a selfie with gavin newsom and his wife.

schwarzenegger told newsom he would be around if newsom needs any help. >> later schwarzenegger posed with the governor who preceded him and the one who followed. you can see gray davis to his left and outgoing governor jerry brown. or to our left and jerry brown to our right. >> governor newsom had a lot to say in his speech. if you want to listen to the highlights as well as see more pictures of his son dutch, we have it on abc7news.com. meanwhile, abc 7 news was at oakland city hall where mayor libby schaaf and other elected officials took the oath of office today. as she began her second term, schaaf promised to make community safety her top priority. her long-term plan includes creating more preschools. schaaf says her second goal is ensuring more affordable housing for all. in the north bay, a man's body was pulled out of a santa rosa creek this morning. someone called 911 just before 10:00 a.m. saying they saw a hand sticking up just west of the pearson street bridge.

when firefighters arrived, they found the body in the water and caught in some bushes. it's not clear how the man got there or if the weather had anything to do with the man's death. the creek was swollen because of this weekend's storms. and we are now hearing from the attorney for a jogger who was bitten by a woman in the oakland hills. it happened last week at shebo regional park. the jogger had pepper sprayed the woman's dogs after they bit her shorts. >> the alameda county district attorney's office says it has not yet made a charging decision involving alma cadwalder. she bit a woman in oakland after stayner pepper sprayed her dogs. >> my client is a victim of a very horrendous assault. >> attorney john o'conner is representing stayner, the jogger. he says one of cadwalder's two dogs bit her shorts though they didn't get her skin. >> the next bite was going to be

of her skin she feared. she did not directly pepper spray the dogs. she sprayed above their heads because she has experience and knows any animal will simply be distracted. >> a claim cadwalder's attorney disputes there. >> no bite or nip or barking even. >> after cadwalder's attorney held a press conference suggesting stayner was the assaila assailant. >> my client bit to get her to release her, and all she had done in this case was to defend first her dogs against an unprovoked attack and then herself from yet another unprovoked attack. >> o'connor claims cadwalder waited for stayner 20 minutes after she pepper sprayed the dogs as she finished her run. >> throws her to the ground, hits her on the head several times. my client has suffered a concussion. she has had it diagnosed. finally, the owner bit her so hard that she bit through the jacket. >> o'conner says stayner is an er nurse who is also a dog owner. a spokesperson cadwalder hired

shared this video of her dog. police arrested cadwalder on battery, false imprisonment and battery charges. melanie woodrow, abc 7 news. new at 5:00, what do you do when no one likes your field, but you're hosting the college football play-off championship game? easy. you bring in a new one. that's next. >> we'll show you that process. and there was a lot of excitement for this championship game. even so, there is no traditional tailgating outside levi's stadium today. we'll explain why. that's coming up. and safer street

sky 7 was over levi's stadium as security checks were under way for tonight's college football play-offs national championship game. the field looks pretty good, but there is a reason for that.

>> it didn't just happen. crews laid down new turf over a 24-hour period last tuesday, the day after the red box bowl between oregon and michigan state. now the field remained covered for the weekend but is expected to be slippery from all the rain. >> levi's does have a history of poor turf. it had to be resodded several weeks in a row during the inaugural season in 2014. the next year the kicker for the nfl's baltimore ravens missed a field goal when his planted foot sank deep into the turf. there were also footing issues during the super bowl in 2016. crews are certainly hoping for better results tonight. >> we shall see. the halftime show for the national championship is happening on treasure island. sky 7 is there live right now. you can see all the preparations under way. >> and you can see the stage. the show includes the group imagine dragons. so there is a whole lot of excitement for the show, but also for the game. >> yeah, that stage looks fantastic. abc 7 news reporter david louie is life outside levi's stadium with the fans.

david? >> well, you know, normally we see a lot of smoke coming from the parking lot before the games from all the tailgating parties. the only smoke we're seeing right now is residue left over from the fireworks they just set off at the game. a lot of fans had to make due with cold cut sandwiches. they seemed to be a lot hungrier for a national title. you could easily make out the alabama boosters from the clemson fans, but they did have one thing in common. cold food for their tailgate parties. what would you be eating if you had a tailgate at home? >> barbecue. it's all barbecue. >> buying deli sandwich trays and beer substituted for other hot food since these fans mostly hail from out of state. so bringing along a grill just wasn't possible. they already spent a lot of money to come for this national championship game. young james miller knows it was a lot of money. >> about 4,000, maybe something dollars. i don't. but it was lot of money. but we all combined it i guess. >> it's worth it to three generations this family so they

could attend. >> grandson here, this is his first big game. i mean, to me, that's worth all the money in the world. >> the sky is the limit? >> for my grandson, you better believe it. >> redeeming frequent flyer miles to help this fan. >> the flight didn't cost me anything. the room didn't cost me anything. but i did have to buy the ticket. we'll get out from probably two grand. >> lew richie didn't have to travel far. he played basketball in the '90s. clemson football he said is everything. >> when you have alcohol on a sunday and you had the charlotte panthers playing in clemson, you'd see people walking to the games with beers in their hands. and, you know, the police were just looking the other way because clemson football rules everything. >> and a victory is what both teams want. >> roll, tide, roll! >> go tiger, woo! >> you got to love their enthusiasm. and you should hear the cheering

and loud calls you're hearing out here. i've never heard such shouting from fans during normal 49er games. impressive. and by the way, even though people are not -- even though people had some food before the game, we're sure they're enjoying some of the great food they serve inside levi's. live at levi's, david louie, abc 7 news. >> here's to a great game. >> the nice thing, no rain. no umbrella. it gave us a break. clemson and alabama have met at the college play-off in each of the last four years. it should be a great game. >> you'll want to know the winter moment it happens, and you can find out by downloading the abc 7 news app. >> for fallout from the government shutdown. many unpaid workers struggle to make their mortgage or rent payments. >> michael finney is here to talk more. >> the government shutdown could actually rock the housing market in two ways. real estate website zillow says unpaid federal workers owe more than $1.2 billion in mortgage and rent payments each month.

many of those workers will be struggling to pay, and zillow estimates nearly 4,000 mortgages are processed each business day for loans backed by federal government agencies like fha. so what's going on there? there has been no word yet on if there has been a slowdown for those needing loan help. if so, by how much. will you be shopping at sears and kmart this time next year? sears missed a friday deadline to decide whether to sell its former ceo or turn the company over to liquidators. lampert offered nearly $4.5 million. if not accepted, the liquidation could begin tomorrow. amazon is now the mostvaabvy company in the u.sak frcr amazon shares rose 3% to close up more than $1600. tht puts the company's market value at $797 billion. now this is the first time
