because pg&e is very busy this morning. last i'm hearing they might be out here in the next half are hour. they might be here around 6:00. that is the estimate. but they have got a long list of power outages to get to this morning. very busy morning because of the storm so this neighborhood is on hold for now and in the dark. and it appears everyone is sleeping pretty late. those alarm clocks are not going off. we haven't seen any dog walkers or any exercisers out this morning some of this neighborhood looking like it is getting a late start to the morning and that might be the kras across the bay area today. live in present hill, amy hollyfield abc7 news. on the bay bridge lower

little lower. firks the focus on the winds. mainly solano until about 8:00 today. you are the only ones dealing with that type of watch or warning. still the flash flood watch but the north bay is taken out. so the burn scar up there we're doing okay. but there is the possibility in the santa cruz mountains and east bay hills and diablo range, those burn scars could still see some flooding from now all the way to 4:00 tomorrow afternoon. the reason why, you can see right now everything is pretty good. light showers, just green showing up but the atmospheric river is going slide to the south, stall several hours and then slowly bump its way back north and the northern tip of that atmospheric river could drift into the santa cruz mountains and the diablo range and bring more rain and that is why the flash flood watch continues. the snow i was talk about. mainly in the lake county and we've still got another 3-6, maybe 5 inches to go. above 1500 feet. we've got a winter storm warning
