bay, there are several flash flood warnings after we got more than an inch of rain in just a matter of a couple of hours. and of course, more is expected. but i want to show you guys some video. our crew just got in the past hour from near the intersection of seventh and ashby here in berkeley. now there is localized flooding here in just after 4:30 p.m. police did issue a statement urging people to avoid this area. now, back here at the uc berkeley campus, there are also reports of flooding as well. and that's putting a big damper on what's supposed to be a big, big weekend. of course, with the cal stanford football game. as intense storms continue hitting our region on friday. the east bay getting drenched with rain in berkeley, city manager daniel marroquin tells us the bad weather has been good for business over the past few days, with customers opting for more hot tea options. >> they stay inside, get the hot drink and they just stay for a little bit and they leave the

bad weather not making everyone's job better, though. >> outside the tea shop, we ran into fedex worker michelangelo rosales. rosales says the rain can destroy many of the packages he's delivering. >> it's always the packages inside, so we kind of have to force ourselves to bring the packages back and bring a new batch on the campus of uc berkeley. >> this weekend is one of the biggest football games of the year. the school's team is set to play arch rival stanford saturday for their annual so-called big game. the game, expected to attract fans from all across the country. >> well, my parents went to cal. i got some other siblings. they went to that the, you know, the farm down there, the junior university. so, you know, the rival. it's fun. it's fun. we always dig on each other on that. >> cal alumni walter bierbaum says he and his family came up from san diego early to attend a planned pep rally friday outside sproul hall. >> we're ready. we have our ponchos, so we're ready for the atmospheric river, river or whatever they call it. these days, so we're good. >> that rally was ultimately canceled as the rain continued to pour down. despite the setback, though several students

say they don't expect it to kill the energy on campus or diminish turnout for the big game that includes isaac davis and his classmates, who were selling game shirts outside of the hall friday afternoon. >> honestly, it's about the camaraderie, i think. berkeley. rain or shine, we're going to still show up. big game is one of the biggest games of theone year. again, like you know, fight the trees, go bears. >> and guys, we did go check out the football field itself where staff is working hard to try and keep it as dry as possible ahead of tomorrow's big game. but with weather like this, that's easier said than done. i'm live in berkeley. tim johns, abc seven news. >> all right. thank you so much, tim. and this week, stormy weather is impacting flights in the bay area. this is a live look at san francisco international airport where 500 flights were delayed. today. that's less than yesterday. fewer than yesterday. but about the same as wednesday, the first day of the storm. there have also been dozens of canceled flights. we want to continue our team coverage in the south bay, where many people spent the earlier part of the day preparing for the rain. abc

wind, the sun. and they're going to be just fine. >> and it's not just christmas in the park that's focus on the sandbags. valley water making sandbags like these available at stations throughout the county. they're asking residents right now to stay alert. >> we've been messaging out to the public to make sure that they're prepared. as you know, the wet season starts, so we're asking everybody to make sure that they have an emergency plan in place in case there is flooding. >> san jose resident dan mccarthy taking no chances and making sure his family doesn't either. >> my son's got a got a shed in the back that has a low point by the by the door. so i thought i'd take a little preventive action today. >> right now, the hope from officials is that the rain will have as minimal of an impact as possible on residents like mccarthy and his son, and instead bring benefits. >> we're hopeful that this will just be good for our water supply. although we're not expecting a lot of water to go into our reservoirs.

>> now, valley water says it is monitoring creeks and local waterways, though they're not expecting too much trouble in the way of those waterways and those local creeks. but they still want everyone to stay flood safe right now. live in san jose. zach fuentes, abc seven news. >> all right. coming down there. zach. thank you. our storm coverage continues next, which you'll see which parts of san francisco flooded the most. and cominp at 630. >> i've been with this department so long, it's disturbing to make those assertions. >> you will only see this interview on abc seven news. the man in the middle of the controversy surrounding the san mateo county sheriff talks

areas. and neighborhoods, i should say. so from san francisco to south city right now, we're getting some steady light to moderate rain on the peninsula. same thing from skyline boulevard. san mateo into redwood city, woodside area. as we kind of widen the picture here, the north bay that has been getting so much rain over the last 24 to 48 hours is finally getting a little bit of easing of this strong level three storm. so let's get you into where we are seeing a flash flood warning continuing until 745 for parts of the east bay. widening the picture here. this level three storm is feeding atmospheric river is feeding into northern and central california. so we are just getting soaked right now. there have been lightning strikes as well, and i want to just show you kind of a closer view of how much moisture is still streaming in. it is switching over to snow in the sierra, but there has been rain at the lower elevations. this strong level three storm is going to continue for the next few

hours, and then it will wind down after tomorrow morning. we're going to check out the rain totals right now. we have seen in the last 24 hours over three inches in san rafael, almost two in san francisco, an inch and a third in oakland. you will notice almost three in ben lomond over an inch there in half moon bay. and napa, santa rosa close to three. but you get out towards oakland and it's been more than an inch of rain now. trace amounts san jose that's changing. obviously that's the official weather service report from 4 p.m. 3000/600 in concord. a live view from our emeryville camera. take it easy out there. wet roadways, 50s 60s on the temperatures right now. looking at the storm impact scale through tonight, we are going with a strong level three on our exclusive abc seven news storm impact scale. flooding rain continues with those gusty winds. more downed trees and outages are likely with more mudslides as well, and the chance of thunderstorms. so 7:00 tonight you're still seeing some heavy rain in the east bay, the south bay, the santa cruz mountains at 8

p.m. as well. the storm is going to be slow to get out of here at 10 p.m. it's in the south bay, and then here comes some more showers behind this system. it's really going to be tomorrow morning where you see some brief downpours 530 in the morning in the north bay around the peninsula and into the east bay at 7 a.m. and south bay at 830. then you will get a chance to kind of enjoy some sunshine for the rest of the afternoon. for the big game. i think you're okay. and as we check out additional rainfall totals, anywhere from about a half an inch to over two inches of additional rain for most areas, there's going to be a couple of spots less than that and a couple more than that. winter storm warning until 4 p.m. tuesday. above 5500ft. i would not try to travel to the mountains right now. that is going through tuesday. 1 to 4ft of snow up to five feet for the peaks. it's going to be difficult to get around with chain controls, slick roadways, 40s and 50s on your morning temperatures. keep the umbrellas handy for the morning. for the afternoon, you'll need those shades as well. we're going

to be seeing highs in the 50s and the 60s. here's your accuweather seven day forecast. this level three storm drops down to a one tomorrow morning. showers and then some afternoon sun sunday later in the day we're going to be getting a level one system. that's nothing like what's going through. monday is a rainy day. tuesday scattered showers. both are ones right now, but that monday system looks to focus perhaps on te south bay and the santa cruz mountains. not a repeat of what we've experienced. so ama and dan drying out in time for thanksgiving, right? >> that will be good. thanks, sandhya. >> well, when we look at the storm's impact around the bay area, the north bay has been hit the hardest. for the second day in a row, sonoma county closed schools about 18 in total. today. it's due to, of course, to the rain. the wind, downed trees, dangerous road conditions and the flooding on the peninsula. several lanes of interstate 280 flooded. look at this. this was near john daly boulevard in daly city. the chp was out there helping guide cars around the worst of it. cars could still get through the

francisco, but when the rains get really heavy and the winds start really howling, we do our best to keep up. but there is going to be some localized flooding. likely we are likely to see some trees come down. we just want to keep people safe. >> meanwhile, a lot of people are checking out the impact of the storm, very aware of the power of mother nature. >> we wanted to see how big the waves are, how are they? they've been pretty gnarly. they've almost hit 12ft a couple times and very stormy, very choppy out there. and yeah, the wind's been picking up a lot. >> and there was a wind warning on the bridge. so yeah, you just got to be careful and be alert. >> and tonight we are here in glen park where there was a small mudslide. so much rain fell in such a short period of time, it triggered this mudslide. now, fortunately, no one was hurt. and there were no homes around here that were threatened. but we do know that geotechnical engineer came out to study this area. and also that about a truckload of debris was taken away. and again, fortunately, no one was hurt here tonight in glen park. suzanne fawn, abc seven news. >> that's the most important

projection is made up of mae over budgeting. in two up of mae categories outside contracts like school bus services. >> the other books and supplies the district predicts that they will spend, on average, $92 million per year for each of the next three years. >> the union says based on spending from the past five years, the district has never spent more than $40 million in this category. but mike hutchinson, who is chair of the school board's budget and finance committee, disagrees with that analysis. >> at the last board meeting when we discussed this, and then at the last budget and finance committee meeting, nobody came and claimed that the numbers were were not accurate. >> hutchinson says the way the budget is structured, when the district gets money that doesn't have a defined budget code, it gets held in books and supplies until it moves into its allocated category. >> and so this idea that all of a sudden, the district plans on spending twice as much money on our books and supplies, if that's what they're presenting, it shows they have no idea how our budget works, and operates.

>> the district argues there are other issues as well, like declining enrollment, and that it's operating too many schools. the district is proposing to merge ten schools into five to cut costs, but hutchinson doesn't think that will pass. >> there is no closure plan. it is very unlikely that this merger idea will be passed. >> the vote comes up in december in oakland, anser hassan. abc seven news. >> coming up next, a story you'll see only on abc seven news. the man at the middle of the san mateo county sheriff's investigation speaks out about what's really going on between him and sheriff christina corpus. >> and an update on today's storm. see where the worst of it is now and

chief of staff, says supporters of the old sheriff are telling lies to bring her down and to stop the change that she's bringing to the department. sheriff christina corpus told me earlier this week that she's known victor j. >> for 17 years, and we are colleagues. i consider him a trusted confidant. >> a friend during all that time, did you and her ever become romantic? no. there's never been physical contact or a dating relationship. no. the longtime realtor became indispensable during corpus campaign for sheriff. that's him during a kickoff event with the candidate. but the audit commissioned by the county and performed by retired santa clara county judge ladoris cordell, cites one current employee at the millbrae sheriff's substation. she says when corpus worked there before she became sheriff, the employee saw her and i and j kissing, giving each other massages and making flirty jokes that made her uncomfortable. corpus. and now i and j say that's a lie, and i'm done with that. >> and i'm done. because this

has been played over and over just to smear her name. >> i did notice, and i've reported that most of the accusations, in terms of you and the sheriff being romantic, came from a single employee, correct? >> i don't want to get into uh- employee issues. i'm saying that her statements are not truthful. i believe she had an agenda behind them. >> let's talk about those 40 people that judge cordell interviewed. are you saying that most of those are supporters of the former sheriff bolanos? >> absolutely. i'm saying that uh- and a few of them are just scared for their job, because if you don't kiss the ring in this county, they will push you out. >> i and j was third in line as civilian chief of staff, reporting to undersheriff dan perea. from those interviews, the cordell report concluded i and j had major influence over the sheriff and that lies secrecy, retaliation, conflicts of interest and abuse of authority are the hallmarks of the corpus administration. >> obviously, it doesn't feel

good. it's disappointing. i think the people that are there know the truth and know what's been done to this point. >> the report found that i and j may have committed a misdemeanor crime for willfully wearing a facsimile badge that allows him to impersonate a full time, salaried employee, and that the sheriff could face a misdemeanor charge for giving it to him. i and j. s badge has a chief of staff bar at the top. >> cordell sideline. i think before she made those negligent statements and she should have checked, i and j provided his training records that show he's a reserve deputy for the department, has all the training of a full time sworn officer. >> he also worked at the department's firing range as an instructor for nine years. here's him teaching county supervisor noelia corzo to shoot. she's now his biggest detractor, so she's very concerned that she's coming up for reelection and she has no money. >> so i've been told that she's made some deals with certain people i don't know. i don't

know if that's factual or not. that they're going to fund her, and that's why she's doing this. she's disclosed this to a number of people, and j told me his work as a realtor and in personal protection stopped when corpus brought him on as chief of staff. >> i also asked about expensive gifts. the report accuses him of giving the sheriff. did you buy $11,000 diamond earrings and louboutin boots for the sheriff? no, i did not. >> where'd that come from? i have no idea. >> i also asked about donald trump's september 12 fundraising visit to woodside. the report says the campaign staff allowed the sheriff to designate two people for a photo with the now president elect. she picked a captain and a deputy, an fbi agent claims i and j approached, identified himself as chief of staff and said who? a deputy getting a photo over me. the report says he made a scene until he was allowed to take this picture. the main guy that was running the security, i knew him very well because i just come online, come in the line and take a picture with us and whatever else and ended up there.

>> the guy came up to me and goes, hey, you're not on the list. i'm like, yeah, who are you? i said, i'm the chief of staff. i'm. i'm here taking place at the sheriff's. okay. that's fine. whatever. >> just move forward with all of this flack with calls from the board of supervisors, the deputy sheriffs union, and the captains for the sheriff and her chief of staff to resign, victor j says he will not. >> i think the residents of this county deserve more. and that's what sheriff corpus has been fighting for. and in my opinion, i continue to encourage her and support her because at the end of all this, she's going to be victorious. >> i received a text late today from supervisor corzo saying it's all false, that she's receiving financial backing to pursue these accusations. meanwhile, i and j complains that judge cordell did little to verify the claims. one person who witnessed many of these alleged interactions was undersheriff dan pereira, and i understand that he was not interviewed for the audit, so he's up there on the chain of command. why not interview him? judge cordell did not do that. and by the way, judge cordell

wouldn't talk to me about her report and discuss it at all. so there's still a lot more to find out. >> i'm glad you're exploring all sides of this, though. that's exactly right. thanks, dan. >> all right. coming up next, how california says it will trump proof the state and how what is bargain bliss? prices are too high, but grocery outlet has the name brands you love for way way less. that's bargain bliss. this thanksgiving budgets are stretched tight, so we are giving you a little extra help this season. $3.99 for a jennie-o 14 to 16 lb. turkey. when you spend $35. head to your neighborhood grocery outlet today because this offer is available only while supplies last.

a record end to the week. the dow closed at its highest ever. it went up more than 400 points

today to 44,296. the nasdaq gained 31, closing above 19,000. the s&p went up 20 points. we are days away frm the start of another special legislative session in california that governor newsom called to trump proof the state. abc seven news reporter monica madden is following the story on what this might mean for california's relationship with trump. >> this time just feels different. i try to reach out to him. couldn't get through. and then we went back and forth. i called for the special session on his iheart radio podcast called politician governor gavin newsom says he tried reaching out to president elect trump after the election. i'm not complaining about anything. the last person i thought he'd pick up the phone was me. >> now, california lawmakers are gearing up for another special session to guardrail the state against another trump administration. it's not welcomed by all. no, it's complete theater, especially after trump gained ground in california. >> california republicans are only about 2,425% of registered voters, yet donald trump got nearly 40% of the vote in

california. and so it feels like donald trump has a better sense of what californians want. >> there may be a lot more trump supporters here, but that doesn't matter. i'm going to still have their backs. >> newsom, defending his stance at an unrelated press conference thursday, speaking about his relationship with trump when he was president. >> i was on the phone with him consistently late night, early morning, getting along, and he was assaulting and attacking this state, taking money from the people of the state of california. he asserted lawsuit after lawsuit and assault. after assault. so of course, regardless of whether or not we had a big hug at mar-a-lago or not, we need to prepare for that reality. >> saying his goal is to safeguard state policies for all californians. i care about people and i care about protecting them. >> their public safety and their public health. >> just not a good idea to have, you know, an acrimonious, you know, relationship between the

governor and the president. in the end, their their goal should be the same, which is to, you know, protect the rights of the citizens. >> specifics of the special session are still unclear. in a statement to abc seven news, a spokesperson for trump did not say if he plans to call newsom back, but did give us this statement saying, quote, the american people reelected president trump by a resounding margin, giving him a mandate to implement the promises he made on the campaign trail he will deliver. end quote in the newsroom. monica madden, abc seven news. >> all right, to on election news and the newest results posted by santa clara county in gilroy. incumbent mayor marie blankley is still about 200 votes behind her challenger, greg bozzo. it's official nikki fortunato bass has won a seat on the alameda county board of supervisors. john bowers conceded today the race was a really close one, with bass only ahead by about 400 votes. at last check. >> coming up next, we have an update on our weekend weather

into street level radar right around and the east bay. milpitas. fremont. you will notice 680. we do have a flash flood warning until 745 for parts of the east bay. the santa cruz mountains and san jose, cupertino, los altos getting slammed by this atmospheric river heading into the santa cruz mountains. it is lighter but steady across the san francisco area, the peninsula and the north bay. looking at live pictures, you can see the rain is really coming down from our santa cruz camera. but wet views with this level three storm, it is a strong level three storm. it's going to hang around for a couple more hours. 730 to 8:00. you will notice the east and south bay are still sitting in it. 9 p.m. as well and then more showers will trail through. but not as intense going into tomorrow morning. high temperatures tomorrow afternoon with some sun breaking through 5060s. looking at the accuweather seven day forecast, we drop this to a level one tomorrow morning. some wet weather after that you're going to see some afternoon sun sunday afternoon evening. we have a level one with some showers not as strong monday a one, tuesday a one, and

then we go with a dry pattern. nice for the thanksgiving holiday on thursday. right now friday we're keeping it with a mix of sun and clouds, but one model is hinting at maybe some more showers so ama and dan. stay tuned. >> all right. >> thanks, sandhya. looking forward to wednesday. >> yeah i know. >> sports director larry bes here. 49 ers have an interesting test this weekend. >> very interesting is one way to put it. you know next man up. it's next man up. they have sop. many injuries. can brandon allen become the next brock purdy the backup quarterback thrust into the starting job. and then winning. that is the challenge because allen will be starting sunday in green bay. his thoughts on that

game of the season, with playoff hopes hanging literally by a thread. the 49 ers will not have starting quarterback brock purdy on sunday in green bay. or defensive end nick bosa. and trent williams is in a walking boot. so how do they beat the packers? well that depends on how brandon allen does in his first start for quarterback at quarterback for the 49 ers. it's going to be his first game since he started since 2021. that was when he was with the bengals. purdy has started 37 of the niners last 38 games. but he's out with a sore shoulder. can't go. the 32 year old allen, the third string quarterback last season, now thrust into a starting role in a game the niners really need to win. >> outside you hear people haven't seen a lot of brandon because he hasn't had to go in

yet. but this is brandon's second year to see him on scout team all the time. and you know obviously the guys want brock up. but guys are excited to see brandon play. i feel very comfortable in the offense. definitely going back to last year and then all through this year, just just being in the system, calling the plays, seeing them play out. all that. so you know i definitely feel comfortable in this offense. i just talked to him. you know believes in me says you know you're here for a reason. you know go in and step up, play well and he'll be back. so i'm not worried about it. >> all right. no worries. nick bosa. we're worried about this. he has a hip injury on one side a strained oblique on the other side of his body. an obvious pain. on sunday against seattle the all-pro defensive end. he's not even making the trip to green bay with the team. and trent williams the big tackle. he's likely a game time decision. coach kyle shanahan trying to put some sort of positive spin on this situation. >> you know, i know it's disappointing. you know we knew there was a chance for nick. you know i think the guys were a little surprised with brock yesterday. but we addressed all that today. and we're going to have 40 guys. 48

guys in uniform. and i know our guys believe in themselves. i believe in them. and we're missing two good players, definitely. but we got a lot of good players out there. so by no means do you not have a chance to win. we're going to go fight our tails off and expect this to be a real good game. >> well, they need it. warriors in new orleans and another nba cup game. look at this from steph curry here off the brandon ingram miss the no. look hook pass to andrew wiggins who had 13 points on five of five shooting in the first quarter alone. third quarter. curry escape. dribble. pump fake gives the warriors the lead with seven minutes to go. curry to wiggins to trace jackson. davis with authority. beautiful passing all around. and right now it's 102 96. warriors with under three minutes left in the game. >> hi kids i'm joe thornton and meet my pal slappy. say hi to the kids, slappy. howdy, kids. >> that's unbelievable. ha, ha. still got it. >> the always colorful joe

thornton is getting his number 19 jersey retired tomorrow by the san jose sharks. jumbo is arguably the franchise's best player. one of the game's best passers, ranking seventh all time in assists. but his teammates will always remember joe for his love of the game. >> what joe did for the city is it put the city on the map and the team on the map, and it got guys to come here for the first time. >> i met him until now. i mean, he's just always had that smile on his face, always loved to play hockey and just loves the boys being around. >> sports on abc seven. sponsored by smart and final. not only is joe thornton one of the great sharks of all time, he's actually the landlord for first round draft pick macklin celebrini. the 18 year old kid he's living with thornton and his family, which has to be. that should be like a reality tv show every day. one last. like the. >> he's like the george kittle of hockey. that. yeah. >> yeah that's a great. and yeah with beard to match. one last thing on the niners. first time since the 2022 season that they will go into a game as the underdogs. so they've been

favored for a long, long time. not this week. >> maybe that will work. >> well. hopefully something works better. all right. >> tonight on abc seven at 8:00 shark tank. that's followed at nine by 2020. then stay with us for abc seven news at 11. do remember that abc seven news is streaming 24 seven. you can get the abc seven bay area app so you can join us whenever you want, wherever you are. >> well, finally, this friday, a few thoughts about what really matters at my home. perhaps like yours. boxes are starting to show up containing christmas gifts. my wife and i have started buying for folks we hate going down to the wire, but looking at those boxes last night when i got home got me thinking about all of the stuff that we consume and all of the waste it generates, the world produces about 2 billion tons of garbage each year. that's enough to wrap around the earth in trucks parked end to end 24 times. and that amount is expected to nearly double by 2050. they say that a single buried plastic trash bag can take 1000 years to fully break

down. as hard as that is to believe. in america alone, we throw out about 100 million or more cell phones every year. and just think about the computer monitors and the packaging and the boxes and the bags, all of this stuff. and as we rush to fill holiday shopping lists, perhaps we should begin to reevaluate the consumerism that we all seem so addicted to. what really matters is that we, as a species, drastically reduce the amount of garbage we generate, find less harmful packaging alternatives, and less environmentally damaging ways of disposing of all of it. we're fouling our one and only nest, and it's kind of gross. i always love to hear from you. let me know what you think. follow me on social media at dan ashley abc seven. >> all right. that will do it for this edition of abc seven news. thank you so much for joining us. >> i'm ama daetz and i'm dan ashley for sandhya patel, larry beil, all of us here. we appreciate your time. hope you have a nice evening and that we see you again at 11.
