let's look at how much rain to expect. if you're in the blue, two-thirds to three quarters of an inch. if you're in the green like most of the north bay, more than an inch. this is going to fall all day or all morning. that's why my biggest concern is ponding on the roadways, we have the possibility of downed trees and power lines for a couple hours tomorrow morning. severe weather in north carolina damaged the roof of an elementary school gym while the students were inside. look at this video all of it caught on camera. a spokesperson for the samson schools says that part of the roof near the back of the school's gym blew off and 25 kids were in the gym at the time as bricks and wooden beams started falling.

decision to close the station with data, abc7 news spoke to neighbors concerned about the decision. >> my question would be why in this economy when everything and everybody is doing well. the other concern is about response time. the nine firefighters working here will still with be with the alameda fire department, but will have to reach out to other stations for placement. the majority of the calls that this station was receiving were for medical calls, so they're considering moving ambulances and other emergency medical services to this firehouse, but still just a consideration as it is set to close at 8:00 a.m. this morning and no longer be accepting residents calls. reporting live in union city, julian glover, abc7 news. in the east bay, advocates say the eviction of squatters from a vacant home in oakland is giving their battle to help the homeless new momentum. >> moms 4 housing rallied their

quick, take a screen. that's a tornado flipping two cars in south carolina. they were in a school parking lot when this twister tore through monday afternoon. national weather service says it was an ef1 tornado, winds up to 90 miles per hour. thankfully nobody was hurt. we don't have that kind of wind, but it will be gusty tomorrow morning. today, a bit of fog for kids heading off to school. chilly temperatures, in the 30s. dry this afternoon, 52 to 54. one to two feet of snow possible above 2,000 feet and possibly more than that up in the peaks, in lake county. over in the sierra, travel difficult to impossible thursday and friday getting to and through the sierra to tahoe. it will be nice this weekend to ski on all that snow. >> thanks, mike. new this morning, it appears samtrans new bus service that goes from the peninsula to san

francisco's embarcadero is essentially being utilized as a late-night homeless shuttle. the "san francisco chronicle" obtained this video of homeless people being dropped off on drum street, the end of the line for samtrans. abc7 news contributor phil matier broke the story this morning. this is the first thing i read this morning. essentially this illustrates the merry-go-round that our whole system in the bay area has created of just pushing homeless people from one part to another. >> that's right. i think exactly. it's not intentional necessarily, the fact is when they say the end of the line, it's the end of the line. a couple months back samtrans began service to san francisco from the peninsula, that includes stops at san francisco's airport. security guards around the drum street bus station or bus stop here in san francisco, they started noticing that homeless people were showing up that appeared to have dropped out of the sky, didn't know where they were in the morning. so they took this video and we see this one is from abc7 this

morning of yet another homeless person sort of just getting off the bus and going out into the night. what we have here is what aaron peskin calls musical chairs. the san francisco supervisor whose district includes this bus stop says it is unconscionable that samtrans would be used as musical chair between agencies. dan lieberman, the spokesperson for samtrans says look, bus drivers get homeless on, they get homeless off. and they -- the exit at the end of the line is the end of the line. so that's when you get off. now, what is interesting here is that samtrans, in an effort to help the ohomeless in san mateo county gives out free bus tokens to various organizations that give them to the homeless but they don't say where they're going. some of these are riding the buses to the end of the line. the added insult or injury to this is that san francisco international airport, which gets homeless coming in on the final b.a.r.t. trains turns

around and gives tokens for bus rides as well to move on from there. so yes, you have one agency after the other end of the line, end of the line, moving and moving and moving them. >> as you say, this may be unintentional. each of these agencies or areas or even cities, they don't know what to do. so they say, well, here's a way to go somewhere else. so this is not our issue for this moment. >> or this is a place to go somewhere else in the county, but now we started service in san francisco, so that's an option. we are seeing it on b.a.r.t. you can start someone homeless in san francisco and end up in fremont at the end of the line. the question is also what do you do once somebody gets off those buses or they're completely disoriented, in a new place, the problem is spreading. what was once a homeless problem in san francisco and alameda county spread out throughout the bay area. it's all part of what we're

calling the musical chairs. as you say, trying to deal with it. >> then you have governor newsom who has been addressing homelessness especially over the past couple of weeks, and now he's doing a state-wide tour. >> he's doing a state-wide tour. he pledged 7$750 million to various cities in an effort to handle the homeless. people in the san francisco area say that's not near enough. the committee he had to look into it has now suggested possibly a state constitutional amendment that would mandate that cities and counties provide housing for people. the question is who will pay for it. that hasn't been resolved. the question is how you will build it. that hasn't been resolved. whether it's the joe rodota trail in santa rosa or the drum street bus stop, the same question, it's all connected. and there doesn't seem to be what's the next step is going to be. >> what's still out there is sb50, which the governor has not said one way or the ear other i

he's for this housing. >> that would create housing around transit hubbs. >> we'll see if this pulls together if this becomes the tipping point. the businesses are going what is this doing? we're spending $4 million on a navigation just down the road from this and we're winding up with people being dropped off the middle of the flighnight. >> phil matier, thanks to you for getting up early and being here. phil's column is in the san francisco chronicle right now. back to you, come kumascome >> this morning the san francisco unified district is waiting to open schools. kids were left covered in jet fuel. a delta plane dumped fuel on several elementary schools yesterday as it returned to l.a.x. because it was having engine trouble.

this happened in los angeles county. the flight was headed to shanghai when a pilot reported a stalled engine compressor. some of the kids were playing on a playground during the fuel dump happened. medics treated more than 60 kids and adults for skin and lung irritation. the fuel was described as a mist. >> so what happened was that a plane was coming over and it was throwing gasoline. and it spread it on my friends and on me. then it got in my eye, and i'm blurred. >> the faa says procedures call for fuel dumping over unpopulated areas but experts say a pilot can stray from that rule if there are safety reasons. this morning we're hearing from the newly crowned greatest "jeopardy" player of all time. >> he's happy. ken jennings won the tournament after fighting off some of the toughest competitors in jeopardy history. >> ken jennings! you are the champion! >> jennings defeated

and james holzhauer and gets a 1 $1 million prize. jennings is talking about this on "gma." >> the winning episode taped a month ago. you managed to keep it secret from your kids. >> my wife knew. i didn't want her to divorce me. i told my wife immediately. my kids didn't know. my parents didn't know. we totally kept it under wraps. i thought it would be better if it were surprise. >> you can hear that full interview at 7:00. >> you can catch "jeopardy" every week night on abc7 starting at 7:00. >> what time does your dad go to work? he doesn't. why? he won jeopardy. >> more than once. >> over and over again. >> yeah. >> what in the world? that's amazing. >> really is. let's talk about the weather. lots to talk about in a short amount of time. the roof camera showing a few
