people who were walking on the street below. look at this. it happened on the 43rd floor of 555 california street which used to be the bank of america center. people inside heard the windows creek and they felt like the building was shaking all day. >> the best way to describe it would be an office outside of the airport. you could hear the wind rattling , it sounded like a jet was taking off. kumasi: investigators believe that the wind likely cause the window to break. it happened in an empty area of the building under renovation. reggie: on the peninsula cameras capture the moment a falling tree almost hit a van as it drove past. that was close. this was in the brain what neighborhood -- brainwood neighborhood. the tree did not hit anything as it came down. they did something right. kumasi: a marin county family
5:05 am

5:45 am
sliding it will hit my house. >> we expected a little bit but not to that extent. michael: torrential rain caused havoc turning towns to lakes hills to mudslides and damages in the billions. >> we just finished remodeling. so it is hard to see it all go. >> we are still tallying up the damage. michael: united policyholder said that storm victims were shocked when their homeowners insurance refused to cover flood and mud damage. >> studies show that consumers do not know that flood damage is excluded under their policy. michael: they do cover losses from forces like wind driven rain or falling trees, but not rising water or flowing mud. you need flood insurance for that and during years of drought, who bothered to buy it? >> we did not have a single person who said i have flood insurance.
5:46 am

5:47 am
cost too much to recover. >> when he gets blood flow -- when it gets blood flow it gets to exact -- too expensive. michael: fema pays further temporary repairs and the small business association offers low-interest loans. increasingly folks start pointing at each other. >> for some people the only way to get financial help is to sue somebody else. kumasi: look at this, dramatic rescue in sonoma county where three people had to be pulled to safety after trying to drive through floodwater. the van stalled after driving a few yards. this is on armstrong woods road and river road was hit by multiple mudslides. reggie: wait until you see these photos from chp in placerville. an officer heading to a call about a sinkhole found himself

in a sinkhole. the officer was on his way to the call when he started to feel the road give way beneath his patrol car. luckily, he was not hurt and was actually able to get the vehicle out safely. kumasi: the richmond-san rafael bridge is clear. this is a live look. eastbound interstate 580 across the bridge had to be shut down for hours because of high wind that knocked over a big rig. that truck flipped over early in the afternoon and chp had to shut down the entire eastbound direction and wait to start work to get it upright and, eventually they parked other trucks to act as a windbreak so they could finally clear the road. ok. drew: did you drive across the bridge yesterday? kumasi: absolutely not, and thank goodness because no matter what i would be driving. reggie: she is just glad that she missed that flying glass.
