there is what happened next. one needed to see it to believe it, a muni bus crushed in downtown san francisco. for sam, the owner of this black suv, it was a terrifying moment. the tree also took down power lines while he was still inside the car. >> everything started getting dark. i heard wrenches hitting the car. i saw sparks everywhere around. cornell: but the power lines were active. >> and is still active until now. that is why we can't go back to the car. lyanne: no one inside the bus was injured. shortly after, the national weather service issued a flash flood warning for san francisco, daly city, and south san francisco. five and its later, a hailstorm covered the city. with it came lightning, dozens of strikes across the city, including on the iconic sutro tower, captured from far away and up close. the heavy downpour because more flooding's around the city,

had far-reaching implications to not only walnut creek, but concord and beyond. >> you can imagine polls and weight of the tree brings the top half of the pole. we cannot put the power lines back on that, so they have to replace those poles. my understanding, three to four have been impacted. leslie: nearby residents lost power, as did nearby doctors offices, many of which were forced to cancel appointments. one hospital relied on emergency generators until power was restored. >> we did not have to divert any ambulance traffic. ambulances are still getting through. we did not have to divert trauma cases either. the biggest impact was just a little bit of delay for some of our first surgeries of the morning. leslie: john yours emergency --

showers or storms, you are going to see down words or more hail. looking at other of storm reports, we saw dozens of them, hail, rainfall totals. the wettest is spots picking up over an inch of rain, 1.33 in santa rosa, 1.21 in san francisco, over an inch and oakland. even concord picking up over an inch of rain. tomorrow, it is a level two o our scale, light to moderate rain expected, maybe briefly heavy. gusty winds, rough surf. the concern for flooding and downed trees is still there, because now that the ground is saturated, it does not take a whole lot of rain to cause issues. tomorrow morning, as the commute it's underway, so does the storm. moderate rainfall in the lunch i never, briefly heavy going until 4:00 p.m., shifting to the north bay, and winding down later tonight. tomorrow afternoon, you will need the rain gear.

temperatures in the 50's for most of you. on the seven-day forecast, it is a 2 tomorrow, a level 1 thursday, though you are going to get more of a break on thursday. a rainy level 1 storm for friday, gusty and wet, level two saturday, 1 sunday. if you are looking for the light at the end of the tunnel, a week from tomorrow -- ama: where is the calendar? sandhya: we may finally start to dry out. dan: that is a long week. sandhya: there will be a little breather, i think, between thursday and early friday. ama: what about football, larry? larry: i am just focused january 18, a week from tomorrow. football could be a problem. niners are getting set for the seahawks in the playoffs saturday. storm level 2, oh, boy.

plus, the warriors have lost two in a row. in a row. have no fear, s it's hard to explain what depression feels like. but i can tell you what it feels like when someone offers to help. every plan through covered california is comprehensive - with mental health coverage and financial help for people who need it. enrollment ends january 31st. - hi, i'm steve. - i'm lea. and we live in north pole, alaska. - i'm a retired school counselor. [lea] i'm a retired art teacher. [steve] we met online about 10 years ago.

as i got older, my hearing was not so good so i got hearing aids. my vision was not as good as it used to be, got a change in prescription. but the this missing was my memory. i saw a prevagen commercial and i thought, "that makes sense." i just didn't have to work so hard to remember things. prevagen. healthier brain. better life.

[narrator] the second you have a kid, it's like your heart is living outside of your body. that's why it's so important for us to have health insurance and now we can afford it. with financial help through covered california, we pay way less than we ever thought we would. enrollment ends january 31st. larry: good evening. steph curry is back a little earlier than expected. steph injured his shoulder almost a month ago, was projected to come back on friday, but instead will start tonight for the warriors as they wrap up the homestand against phoenix. the dubs went 6-5 while curry

was out. andrew wiggins missed a few weeks. there have been other injuries. but steph is the straw that stirs the drink. after back-to-back games against the pistons and magic at home, steve kerr very happy to have number 30 back. >> a tribute to the guys. they were able to hold down the fort, as i said last week, to go 6-5 without steph has been an accomplishment. tonight is a big game for us. our guys know they have to be locked in and ready to go, and we have to find momentum. larry: phoenix actually has even more guys injured, so the warriors are in good position tonight. 49ers have won 10 in a row, 10 point favorites as they head into super wildcard weekend, hosting seattle. niners beat the seahawks twice in the regular season. brock purdy connecting with george kittle. they hooked up twice in route to a 21-13 victory.

the game is saturday at levi's. with more, chris alvarez. chris: a light day of practice at levi's tuesday afternoon. san francisco getting ready for seattle on a short week. the niners entered on a 10 game win streak, but all of that is behind them. all that matters now is win or go home. >> there is no more in a row, everything behind us does not matter, and it is a one-game season. we have to beat them one time. >> confidence wise, we go into every game with the players on this team knowing that we have what it takes, and if we do not do it, it is on us. >> your best is needed. i know guys are ready. we are where we are at but because of how we continue to get better throughout the year. i think we are peaking at the right time. >> everybody is going to wake feeling we have one guaranteed

game left. it will be football at the highest level. we will see how it goes. chris: and a footnote, 41 years ago today, joe montana found white car -- dwight clark for the catch. 49ers fans need to wait a few days to see who writes the next chapter in 49er playoff history. chris alvarez, abc 7 sports. larry: my goodness, i feel old. after agreeing to terms with the giants and the mets, carlos correa wound back where he was before, agreeing to a deal with minnesota. correa played for the twins last year. he wanted to leave, but doctors for the giants and mets had concerns over correa's ankle. the giants introduced another skybar's clientsl conforti, at s facility in arizona after he recovered from surgery on his right shoulder. confortos's

has been reignited. >> players always say you never know when the jersey is going to be taken from you. my situation is unique. it was taken away and i am still in the prime of my career. so i have the opportunity to come back and turn it up a notch. larry: obviously the giants, their free agent plans with aaron judge and correa did not work out as hoped. piece. but now, how do we assemble this thing mama because they did not get a big fish they wanted. as for carlos correa, i would love to see -- not that i could read the x-rays -- but what happened to his ankle? dan: the same thing happened to you before they gave you your last contract. the doctors had to check and make sure there were no polyps or issues. ama: my gosh.

larry: i am a perfect physical specimen. ama: sure. dan: thank you, larry. ama: tonight at 8:00, catch "the rookie," followed by "the rookie: feds." then it is "will trent," and stay with us for abc news at 11:00. thank you for joining us. i'm ama daetz. dan: we appreciate your time. we will see you again. larry:
