>> we wanted to give you a live look outside. the rain continues into today. you can see live 7 doppler. we had record rainfall this weekend. >> we have live team coverage tracking every coverage. lisa is outside our area. ryan is checking out the north and south bay. >> you are watching abc 7 news, live on abc 7, hulu live, and wherever you stream. we will check in with sue to see the mess on the roads. we want to start with mike. it's the heaviest rainfall we've since january 2017. mike: what estate ever yesterday , in october. fourth what estate ever. this gives you an idea how much rain fell in that time.

it eventually coagulates in small creeks and streams. that feeds into bigger streams which eventually takes hours to retreat back to normal levels. that's why this flood warning for sonoma county, places like khatami has been extended until 9:00 this morning. when we look at radar, what you will see with live doppler 7 is steady rain in that area. the heaviest is to the south. it's another three hours for all that whether to move through those streams. we could have localized flooding in other areas. look at the heavy rain moving through san francisco right now. we've got heavy rain that is heading down toward hayward boulevard. some of these moderate cells push into the south bay.

100 one and 237 coming together. we've got mountain view in those areas with ponding on the roadways. that is something we will keep. what you are going to see with future radar is the fact that the showers while they are steady right now and light, they are going to be over in a couple of hours. there is potential for damage. we will look at that and what lisa has been watching this morning up on the roof. lisa: 25 years ago, i don't know if any of you remember that, this storm was stronger. that's when all the windows shattered in the botanical area. this storm was centered further north than that. it was stronger than that epic storm. this is a look at what is expected for the rest of the day today. we are looking at maybe a half an inch over in oakland.

we have that high surf advisory. you have rainfall totals to tell you about. we are at 5.15 inches for two days. we are looking at the system moving into the sierra nevada and bringing heaviest know that will change over. temperatures are right around freezing. as this winds down, it's not over yet. we're still getting some heavy downpours. sue: good morning. we do have new flood areas, taking look at the ret -- what roads with the waldo grade and bridges here. all the bridges have high winds. a truck flipped on its side. those high-profile vehicles were supposed to be not permitted on the bridge. that's where they got into some trouble yesterday with those

high winds. new areas of flooding reporting. we still have this major flooding in fremont between maori. northbound lanes are getting through. you can see it is very slow there. the southbound remains completely shut down. several cars are submerged. there is standing water and flooding. give yourself plenty of time. >> we want to give you a live look at pg&e's website. it shows all the power outages we are dealing with. 68,000 people across the region are without power. this is a lot better than it was at one point throughout the weekend. foster city, 56,000 customers have been without electricity for hours. pockets of scattered outages, this is the latest update last night. they have restored power to 143,000 customers.

to the north bay where some streets are under a foot of water. it is caused by flash flooding and swelling creeks. we want to join stephanie sierra. good morning. stephanie: good morning. the rain is coming down. just in the last five minutes, it is pouring downtown. you can see it's looking more like rapids. there are no downed trees on the side of the creek. there is a lot of debris clogging parts of the creek. public works crews struggled preventing the flooding. meantime, some of the streets were under two feet of water it yesterday. cars were struggling to cross intersection. this was taken along 3rd street and lincoln avenue. we spoke to andrew, who was helping his neighbors evacuate

as flash flooding threatened homes. >> go to higher ground. right there. all that property is 30 feet above sea level. it's not a big planet. it was a good enough plan. stephanie: he says many of his neighbors were not ready. business owners who lived in san rafael and the surrounding area for more than 30 years say this is the worst they've seen it. we are seeing a lot of flooding here at the creek. just so you have an idea how significant this is, over a week ago, this creek was considered bone dry. as you can see, it's looking more like rapids this morning. the rain is picking up in the last five or 10 minutes. we will keep a close eye on how

things go through the morning. kumasi: several sonoma county schools are closed today. there are no in-person classes or virtual learning. montgomery school is going to be closed because of a power outages and roof leaks. anderson valley day school is also closed. in the east bay, flooding is having a big effect on the freeways. we will keep a high -- and i on interstate 80. all the lanes were closed overnight. that's where we find ryan curry. did morning. ryan: good morning to you. i can share some good news. it looks like they've been able to to all the cars away from this location on interstate 80. the only problem is there is still quite a bit of water on the roadway. that is what is making the section blocked, needing traffic

to be diverted before this. i want to show you some footage from earlier today showing many car stranded and water. the good news, chp told me the drivers who had their cars trapped were able to safely away. no one was hurt. this is creating a traffic issue for anyone trying to make their way down to san jose. the northbound side is in better shape. traffic is moving steadily over there. all lanes on 880 are blocked. that is where traffic is being diverted. they try to wait and see if the water will continue to reside. this is heavy rainfall that happened overnight on the roadway, creating many problems for drivers on the roadway. we are trying to get an estimate as to how long it would take for this roadway to reopen. the morning commute is just starting.

right now, things are wait and see to see how the water goes down. kumasi: new video, look at it shows how bad the wind got on sunday. the storm blew this truck onto its side. the woman who took this video said the crash brought traffic to a crawl. there is no word on any injuries. >> the rain in marin county proved too much for this tree. you can see it toppled over onto this home. the damage was severe. two bedrooms were destroyed. the residents had to find someplace else to stay. the ground is so saturated. fairfax has gotten more than nine inches of rain. kumasi: several trees came down across the city. this is from sidney walton square. trees also came down and call

our atmospheric river from space. this is what the national weather service posted, showing the spinning clouds all the way down the west coast. that set a record for the deepest area of low pressure ever in that part. we are lucky it was 300 miles farther north than some of the other storms were close to it.

we could have been in a more world of hurt. let's talk about what's going on. you are under the jurisdiction in sacrament of. that's why you are under that flight -- flood advisory. all of this area, still the possibility of thunderstorms and locally gusty winds. locally heavy rain could cause localized flooding. we've got some light to moderate rain continuing there. around san mateo, right some heavy rain falling there. moving right along 280 toward campbell, we are all the way up and have some heavier rain falling. this isyou can see we are starto lose some of that shield. it continues to taper through the rest of the morning commute.
