>> we were under the impression and notified by our national weather service we could and test debate not eve -- we could anticipate not even an inch of rain and what we saw within 24 hours was a 5.5 -- 5.5 inches of rain. although the information we had was not sufficient to help us prepare in the capacity we needed to address the issue, in light of what we received from the national weather service about what to expect, the fact it was so significantly different, so out of range and we were still able to respond with a significant number of emergency personnel in the city is something i must say i am very proud of and grateful to the people who work for the city who showed up during a holiday weekend.

>> that was mayor london breed talking about the lack of warning ahead of last weekend storm that caught a everybody by surprise. joining me is phil matier. you could see a little defensive about the city's response and what information they got from the national weather service. ? is that justified? ? >> which part? >> the national weather service. >> if you're caught flat-footed the blame is on you and it is on san francisco. national weather service predicted may be two to three inches. six inches in the bay area but not necessarily san francisco. i don't know where the mayor got less than an inch. they got 5.5 inches which is way above anybody had expected. san francisco for a variety of reasons was caught off guard. much you do. they got about 12,000 sandbags. they went to fremont.

they sent a caravan of trucks to grab sandbags. there was already a line from other cities. they wound up going to tracy to get them. that is why we have this supply chain. sometimes we had sandbags. sometimes we did not. we had drains that were backed up. there's only so much you can do. at atasaer cin francisco if you get above four inches you're going to have problems. this >> is an older city there infrastructure issues that need to be addressed. you're talking about old pipes. that is a part of this year. >> some of the flooding we saw is a result of the infrastructure and the fact like other cities -- unlike other city san francisco likes to be unique. including how we get of wada -- get rid of water. we have a combined sewer drainage system should it is run on gravity because we are a very hilly city. it is prone to backing up.

e city s commit a 630ng up. million dollars upgrade especially in the areas that were affected but that takes time to as we know in san francisco when it comes to fixing things we can take time and then some. it is not going to be an easy solution. we are going to be seeing more rain. >> $600 million plus. that sounds like a lot of money. these projects are massive and there is a lot of infrastructure that needs to be upgraded. >> the second problem with san francisco is we are an old city. when you go digging for infrastructure as we have seen on streets -- you come across pipes nobody knows existed and you don't know why they were there. it is a difficult situation. to update, the finger-pointing or whatever, mayor breed says she was taken out of context should she is not met at the national weather service. she had a phone call with the director of the national weather service.

we are in this together. we are out to help each other as much as we can and move on as they say. what we are moving onto remains to be seen. >> another week of rain. >> and also wind. as we heard from the department of public works we have a lot of trees and those trees can cause more damage than flooding or as much. >> everybody's default position is blame spencer christian. that is what i am pushing them towards. >> the flipside is we got less rain this last time than we expected. ok. is anybody complaining about that? >> no obviously. >> that is it. when it goes bad -- the blame is out there. when it does not go bad, that was yesterday. >> he is over there. thank you, phil. >> our storm coverage does continue in a few minutes. it is not just about rain. from 80 to highway 50 it is all about snow.
