>> our garage had we think about a foot of water in it. we say that only because that's where the water lines were on some of the boxes. and then our backyard had flooding. >> lance monroe has lived in the neighborhood for 30 years. in december, his garage was one of the many impacted by the overloaded sycamore pump station, where several pumps failed, leading to major flooding here. >> one of the water pumps a little bit away from here just wasn't functioning for some reason, but at the same time, we just had so much rain in, i think the 24 hour period or so before the flooding that i could only guess at what the pumps would have done to help had they been working. >> the mill valley police department sent a weather advisory to all its residents, urging them to be prepared. following the national weather service flood watch alert for marin county and the city of mill valley. >> we have obviously some rain that has saturated the hillsides, so we do want our community members to really be vigilant of their surrounding areas, their property, and to make sure

that they're taking care of their neighbors as well. >> the southern marin fire district is ready to deploy an additional five engines, and the local office of emergency services water team is also on standby. are there any problematic areas that you guys are going to be focused on specifically today? >> so we're going to be focusing on the sycamore triangle area and the streams and creeks in mill valley. we're going to be doing that by having engines and our utility pickups patrolling through the evening. >> in the meantime, sandbags, plastic tarps and watchful eyes are what many here are used to. >> this is. >> the calm between the storms, but it will get as high as another three feet higher than this. so what happens is it gets blocked by that overpass right there, and the water goes around the house and then back out into the street, into the uh- storm system. >> another concern is the wind that you're seeing here surrounding us right now.

and first responders are urging the public to call 911 if they see any downed power lines in mill valley. luz pena, abc seven news. >> all right, luz, thank you so much. and you can track the rain throughout the week with the abc seven bay area app. it gives you access to the latest forecast and the same live doppler seven radar that our weather team uses. just search abc seven bay area in your device's app store to download it now. >> we are following the story of saturday's fire at the martinez refinery. you're looking at video here from sky seven over the refinery today. and look att scorched burn marks left from those flames. abc seven news reporter leslie brinkley spent the day in martinez, where neighbors say something must be done to ensure the refinery is safe. >> this is a look at the destruction inside martinez refining company from sky seven today. >> the fire is still burning. there is, i guess, some type of hydrocarbon material that is

still in the pipes. but the refinery has been shut down. >> we went outside to see what exactly was going on, and this is what greeted us. that is what i saw. that's what my kids saw out their bedroom windows. >> people wear masks and say, stay inside. >> getting alerts to go inside and not breathe the air was terrifying to a lot of nearby residents. some fear the fire could get worse or even escalate into an explosion. >> we, as martinez residents, we need accountability. this has been time and time again that this refinery has inflicted harm, has polluted this community, has, quite frankly terrorized us with no recourse. we have not seen any enforcement, any consequences to their actions. >> my goal is to make sure that we understand what's going on there at that refinery and get to the root cause of it. i know with the industrial safety ordinance in place, there will be an investigation. >> county health department hazmat crews are still

monitoring air quality. attorneys filed a lawsuit on behalf of martinez residents in 2023 over a similar incident. >> if you ask me, the frequency of events is happening far too often, and really, something more should be done to prevent this kind of thing happening. when we have refineries in such close proximity to people. >> at a certain point, we have to ask ourselves, are the people in charge of this refinery capable of running this refinery? and if they are not, what are you all going to do as elected officials? >> on their website, martinez refining company says they are deeply sorry for the disruption and concern. no word on what caused the fire in martinez. i'm leslie brinkley, abc seven news. >> a potentially deadly but completely preventable disease is spreading among dogs in san francisco's tenderloin. an animal welfare workers are trying to stop it. the san francisco spca and other organizations vaccinated about 100 dogs during a free

parvovirus vaccine clinic today on golden gate avenue since november. san francisco animal care and control has reported nearly double the number of parvo cases reported in 2022. most of the cases are in the tenderloin and south of market, where many unhoused residents live with their dogs. >> parvo is a virus that attacks the stomach and intestines of dogs, and it causes severe of vomiting and diarrhea, bleeding, sometimes blood in there, leading to really bad dehydration. and like i said, it can be life threatening. but the really good news is, is that it's preventable with vaccinations, which is what we're doing here today. >> another canine clinic is scheduled for next month for dogs to get their follow up parvo booster. >> in the east bay. two people died in two separate fires early this morning. a body was discovered after crews responded to a fire just before six this morning at a warehouse at moorpark street and pippin street in east oakland. no information is known about the person who was found dead inside of the building, and the cause of that fire is still under

investigation, and one person died in a separate fire at a home on cedar street at 10th street in west berkeley. three people were injured, one seriously. a dog was rescued from the fire. the house was a block from the fire station, which helped firefighters put out the fire in about just 30 minutes. it's unclear what started that fire. >> building a better bay area focuses now on our safety, and a new report or new effort that is to crack down on the resale of stolen items on san francisco streets. >> abc seven news political reporter monica madden joins us now with the details. and, monica, we've been here before. this has been an issue for years now. why is this move happening now? >> well, julian, leaders say that this was really an unintended consequence of that 2018 law which decriminalized street vending. but it's made it easier for fencers who buy stolen goods and resell them for a profit. and when it's paired with blatant drug usage and homelessness in some parts of the city, it's created for a bad environment. >> but we do everything we can

to earn our living. >> mission street vendors say illegal street vendors are threatening their businesses and public safety at large. >> we don't feel safe doing this work on the streets to date. >> it's why state senator scott wiener is resurrecting his proposal to crack down on rules for sidewalk vending. >> these illegal fencing operations have become increasingly disruptive. >> city leaders say it impacts the entire ecosystem of chaotic streets around the mission and south of market. >> it perpetuates an unfortunate cycle of petty theft that impacts local businesses in hopes of selling enough to purchase highly addictive drugs. >> but this is not politicians first attempt at a solution. we've seen a crackdown on this before in the previous administration, but last time it ended up hurting a lot of those illegal street vendors. so do a lot of them regularly carry these permits or receipt of goods? is that what's different this time? >> yeah. so what this bill will do is provide the city with a

much more effective tool. >> senator wiener says the law would not hurt vendors following city rules. >> fencing and criminality has never, never been part f our culture. >> it would only apply to san francisco if it passes. the board of supervisors would create a list of frequently stolen merchandise. if people sell those items on the street without a permit or receipt of purchase. police could issue a ticket. three strikes and violators are looking at a misdemeanor and jail time. >> this bill will not punish the vast majority of street vendors who are part of the fabric of our city. >> small business owners like faizan shaikh say these attempts must be paired with tougher efforts to stop retail crime in the first place. >> if there's enforcement, i think there wouldn't be as much of the theft and it wouldn't, you know, have a domino effect on the businesses so the city can thrive again. it needs all of that together. >> senator wiener had a similar bill in the legislature last

year, but it didn't make it out of committee. he says that it did have bipartisan support, but was introduced too late in the session. now he thinks it has a much better shot this time. julian. kristen. >> all right. thank you so much, monica. >> ayesha curry will close her uptown oakland boutique called sweet july because of unspecified safety concerns. the wife of warriors superstar steph curry opened the store four years ago. sweet july sold home goods, books and other items from black owned and locally owned businesses. it will close on sunday. in 2022, burglars targeted the store, making off with several items and forcing it to close for a weekend. >> a show of support today across the bay area and the nation for communities impacted by president trump's immigration policies. >> a look at the response and ripple effect of the national rollback of dei initiatives. >> and we talk about the financial fallout from those massive wildfires in l.a. county. get

area closed today in support of immigrants. a day without immigrants is an annual protest to highlight the vital roletest immigrants play in the u.s. economy. this year, the day moved up several months in response to the trump administration's immigration policies. >> maybe there's a small fortune of people that can be bad actors. they can do the wrong

things. but like i say, the majority of these immigrants, they are families they are working to make their lives a week here because we got a dream. we are here because we want a better, better life for ourselves and our families. >> an estimated 31 million immigrants contribute to the u.s. workforce. people participating in the protest did not attend school or work, or do any shopping to send a message about their impact on the u.s. economy. >> pueblo sin fronteras. somos un pueblo sin fronteras como son pueblo. sin fronteras. >> a protest today at oakland's fruitvale plaza. the organization, by any means necessary, led a rally for immigrant rights and against raids and deportations by immigrants, by immigration and customs enforcement. ice. >> the u.s. department of education is opening an investigation into five universities where widespread anti-semitism has been reported. here in california, those

universities include uc berkeley. the other schools being investigated are columbia, northwestern, portland state, and the university of minnesota. an education and workforce committee found universities failed to protect their jewish students, and made concessions to so-called illegal and anti-american encampments on campuses. that is according to the allegation there. >> it is, of course, black history month, but some federal agencies are banning any celebrations of it or any other annual cultural events. it's in response to president donald trump's executive orders curtailing diversity, equity and inclusion programs. dei 20-24 deborah roberts has a look at the impact and the future of dei policies. >> the sweeping rollback of dei policies striking a nerve with consumers online, some expressing outrage that major retailers are retreating from commitments to diversity, equity and inclusion. those goals are all about helping highlight and strengthen minority groups by

addressing long standing issues like the gender pay gap and expanding recruitment of candidates historically overlooked for lucrative positions. >> anytime anything is politicized, it's inherently polarizing. we first have to acknowledge the fact that different people experience the world in different ways, depending on the identities they hold, right? i'm talking about race, gender, sexual orientation, ability, status, class. dni is designed to drive equitable outcomes. >> one company sending shock waves for its about face. minneapolis based target, which had leaned into programs centered around equity after seismic reactions to the death of george floyd. target, once boasting of its partnerships with black entrepreneurs. >> oh, well look here. >> including tabitha brown. many now wondering what comes next. >> it has been very hard for black owned businesses to hit shelves, so it is definitely.

heartbreaking to feel unsupported. >> in recent weeks, some consumers fighting back with their wallets, signaling a plan to boycott big box stores. in a statement to target employees, the company saying it will begin accelerating action in key areas and implementing changes with the goal of driving growth and staying in step with the evolving external landscape. the impact of dei stretching wide from enrollment in higher education to hiring practices. and while critics claim dei includes a racial bias pitting less qualified candidates against those more deserving, some business experts insist that's not the case. >> in my mind, the idea that dni isn't merit based or it's anti meritocracy is fundamentally flawed. >> america has been on a very, very long journey of trying to fulfill, you know, its ideals.

and it's been a rocky road. you see the landmark brown v board of education, which ended legal segregation in public schools. so this isn't new. we've seen this throughout history. we make progress. then there's backlash. >> that was abc's deborah roberts reporting. some other major companies pulling back dei measures include walmart amazon mcdonald's and meta platforms. >> all right. we want to turn our attention once again to the weather. oh boy. we are getting a pretty good storm coming in. >> yeah, the wind was really gusty driving in this afternoon. yeah. checking back in now with meteorologist sandhya patel. you've been warning us about it. and here we are, sandhya. >> here we are indeed. and, julian, you observed correctly. and, kristen, let's take a look at live doppler seven. right now, we do have rain that has moved into the north bay. we take you down to street level radar right now, healdsburg avenue, between healdsburg and geyserville dry creek road. you are getting some steady rain now. the worst of it is yet to come as we take a look at live doppler seven statewide,

you'll notice the rain snow mix up in northern california. moisture is still well off the coastline, with this atmospheric river set to soak the bay area as we head into tomorrow. right now, the winds are gusting 53 miles an hour. big rock ridge out of the south ahead of the storm. temperatures at this hour. you probably notice it's been pretty mild in many areas. 50s and 60s. kgo roof camera. you can see the flag blowing around a level two system for tonight. wet and windy weather, strong level three storm, heavy rain, damaging winds, potential for thunder and thursday we have more rain and wind, but that storm is not quite as strong. so as we look here, level two for this evening. it's a moderate strength storm, heaviest in the north bay. flood watches up for all areas and the winds will remain gusty. it goes to a level three tomorrow as we expect downpours, strong winds that will likely take down trees and cause power outages, power outages, certainly flooding. and the potential is there for thunder. so 5:00 tonight you see the soaking rain up to our north as we head towards 830,

moving into parts of the east bay, the san francisco peninsula, and then 1130. it still hasn't quite made it to the south bay yet until we head into the morning hours. morning commute is going to be dicey. there is definitely going to be some issues, especially with the ground being so saturated in the north bay. as we head into 8 a.m, you're still looking at pockets of heavy rain going into 11 a.m, and then here comes even heavier rain for 3:00 in the afternoon, indicated by the reds 5 p.m. the evening commute is going to be pretty rough if you could stay off the roads a good idea. 7 p.m. it's in the east bay, the south bay, and by 9 p.m, the last of those showers are starting to move through. rainfall projections are going to measure in over an inch to more than four inches up towards yountville. so you can see this is going to be more evenly distributed. as we look at the winds continuing to gust out of the south over 40 miles an hour later tonight, especially along the coast and over the hills. it even gets stronger as we head towards tomorrow. look at this half moon bay, 56 mile

an hour winds and then in the evening it's still going to be gusty. a winter storm warning up for the sierra until 10 a.m. wednesday. up to four feet of snow for the peaks. with those gusty winds, travel is going to be difficult to impossible. i would just hold off on going 40s and 50s on those temperatures first thing tomorrow morning. tomorrow afternoon it's going to be pretty rough. 50s and 60s stormy one and the accuweather seven day forecast does feature the stormy weather tomorrow. with that level three wednesday you get a little break. chilly morning and then wet and windy again on thursday. that's more the cumulative effect as to why we're putting it at a2a level one on friday with some showers and then the weekend, which julian and kristen, i know a lot of you are looking forward to this. yes. >> yes. that is such good timing. yes. >> timing is everything. but we need the rain. we need the snow up in the mountains. as long as we can get it. we just don't need the problems. >> yeah. absolutely. >> oversaturation. >> absolutely. >> yeah. thank you. thanks, andrea. well, chaos in the courtroom after the break. emotions spill over in a murder case involving former lovers.

emergency rate hike. an average 22% increase for homeowners, a 15% increase for condo owners, and a 38% spike for rental dwellings. >> state farm is having trouble remaining profitable in california, and a big reason is that the claims the cost of doing business have gone up. >> state farm is the country's largest insurer, responsible for 20% of the premiums in the areas affected by the la wildfires. the company says it's received more than 8700 claims, and has already paid $1 billion to customers. >> when there are claims it's more expensive to repair the homes or even have to rebuild a new home from scratch. construction costs, structural materials those prices have gone way up. >> but critics say state farm refuses to provide proof it needs the hike. >> this request is really outrageous to this point. state farm has only delayed and refused to respond to requests, both from consumer watchdog and the department of insurance, to prove the rate increase it thought was justified.

>> carmen balber, the executive director of consumer watchdog, argues records show state farm has plenty in the bank, reporting the company made $1.4 billion in homeowners insurance from 2020 to 2022. and she says state farm's parent company has $135 billion in the bank. >> and if anyone should be bailing out state farm in california, it's the parent company who's profited. >> in order for this to move forward, the rate hike has to be approved by the state's insurance commissioner, ricardo lara. in response to state farm's announcement, his office wrote, to protect millions of california consumers and the integrity of our residential property insurance market, the department will respond with urgency and transparency to recommend a course of action for commissioner lara. >> it's shameful for state farm to be trying to take advantage of this tragedy. >> now, state farm was already granted a 20% rate hike in march last year. four months later, the company requested another 30% hike last july, but it was

never approved. so today's request for another 22% hike would amend that one. so if that does happen, that's two hikes in just about a year. wow. >> where's the ceiling. you know exactly. >> that's the question people are asking. you know will there be more. yeah. >> really tough for homeowners to keep up with. yeah appreciate it. >> all right. if you need help with your home insurance, reach out to staff seven on your side has a team of journalists working to help you by exposing these issues. head to abc seven news.com/7 on your side. >> now to the latest twist and turns in president donald trump's tariffs. planned tariffs on mexican and canadian goods. they're now on hold. abc's reena roy has a look at the 11th hour moves that have led to this temporary pause. >> president trump pausing planned tariffs on goods coming from mexico and canada. after speaking with the leaders of both countries today. >> i had a great talk with mexico. we have to stop fentanyl from coming in, whether i like somebody or not. and we have to stop the illegal aliens from

the one? >> oh gosh, i hope there's a money back guarantee. >> when they're. >> charging you $1 million. karina. >> yeah. i mean, i think when you're not desperate to find love, but you really want to find love. for some people, they're willing to pay $1 million. but i guess that comes with, like, a glam squad. yeah. get you a fitness instructor? really? whatever you need. coaching, if you might need that. so you do get some services. i don't know if it's $1 million worth. even the three you don't know. it's not okay, i guess. no. as with anything, there's always the concierge level service that some people are willing to pay for. and i guess there's a plethora of silicon valley men with the money. but perhaps, you know, not enough. i don't know women in environments near them where they feel like they could be, you know, finding a good match. so, i don't know, it could be the industry, you know. >> i'll do it for half $1 million. just reach out to me directly. i'll do it for half the price. right. just reach.

>> out, okay. all right. julian, i see a new business proposition. >> for you here. >> okay. did you guys catch the grammys? it was a huge night for beyonce, who won three awards, including the top prize album of the year for cowboy carter. it also won best country album, making beyonce the first black woman to win that award. sabrina carpenter won her first grammy, beating out taylor swift to win best pop vocal album and nabbing a second grammy for best pop solo performance. chappell roan was named best new artist, and the san francisco symphony won the grammy for best opera recording. so congrats to everybody! san francisco symphony and beyonce. long time coming, you guys. yeah. >> and well deserved. i mean, that was her. her reaction was priceless. kristin. >> yeah. like what? >> me right. totally stunned her daughter right there. >> blue ivy kind of telling her, like, mom, it's your time. >> to stand on the stage. >> yeah. >> did you see lady gaga and bruno mars also performing for california? you know, first responders for the fires. and that was really moving and

beautiful to see them honor california workers. >> yeah, absolutely. >> well, as if we needed yet another thing to worry about that. yeah. nasa says a large asteroid could pass close enough to the earth within the next decade that there is a chance it could strike the planet. the space rock named 2020 4r4 got it is between 130ft and 330ft in diameter, and could hit the earth in the year 2032, according to nasa's center for near earth object studies. it wouldn't be the first time an asteroid has hit the earth. in 1908, the uh- tunguska asteroid, which was a similar size, flattened trees over an area about 1200 miles after it exploded in the skies over siberia. at this point, can we speed this up? >> yeah, right. take us now. you know, i talked to an astronomer about this on friday, and they're giving it a 1% one, 1.2% chance of that happening in 2032. so nasa is kind of like,

hey, don't worry, it's a small chance. and i'm thinking, really? yeah, yeah. 1% is a chance. >> yeah. it's a non-zero number. >> but you guys look at it this way. we can't control what's going to happen. so why get all worked up and worried about it? >> it's true. if it's going to happen, it's going to happen okay. no no no no with you. hey i mean. >> it's not not in our control. so like in 2022, i think nasa did this whole like interception thing where they show that we could potentially do something with it. i don't know if it's blow it up or whatever. >> they could, but not us is what i mean. oh, like we. >> can't control us. okay. >> yeah, yeah. i was like, don't capitulate as a human race. gosh. >> yeah. >> hey. >> i'm with sandy's. original thought. if it happens, it happens. thank you. you know? come on. >> start planning. >> that trip. >> there you go. >> live for the now, not. >> 20, 34. >> i seriously booked a nice restaurant. after i heard about the asteroid. i. why not. >> playing the violin as the titanic goes down? i see you, kristen. i see you, okay? >> this calls for ice cream, but

maybe not this one. i want beans with that ice cream. yeah. an ice cream company in cincinnati has released a new flavor combining two of the city's iconic foods into one. it's called skyline spice ice cream. the limited edition ice cream features oyster crackers and skyline chilies. secret spice mix is described as sweet, savory, and unlike anything ice cream or chili lovers have ever tasted before. okay, i will just say oyster crackers actually sound quite delicious as a mix in, but what? i've never had the skyline chili secret spice mix. >> okay, karina, we both lived in ohio. yes. >> from ohio. >> greater skyline chili to iconic restaurants, i guess in ohio, both from cincinnati and graeter's ice. cream is incredible. skyline chili, if you haven't tried it, it's like a sweeter chili. >> that they serve. >> on spaghetti. >> on spaghetti with onions and beans. it is delicious. it's not for everybody, but most people. if you grew up in cincinnati, you love skyline. so putting the

two together, i'm surprised they haven't done this or thought of this before. i think it's going to be good. >> i love graeter's skyline chili. >> with the graeter's no. >> no acquired taste. >> it is. >> so. it's a sweet and savory spice. and then they do some of the crunchy oyster crackers. it could be good. >> you sound. >> in kristen sze. yeah, yeah. >> like is the base vanilla? i mean, it sounds okay. >> would you try it? >> i don't think i would try it. that doesn't sound very appetizing, julian. i want. >> to pass for me to sandia. >> we like spice, you and i. >> julian. >> you're not an ice cream. >> not in this form. >> i guess i'm the only one having it. >> hey,

in the east bay sky seven over the hayward area. this is all where a police pursuit has come to an end. in the driveway ofme the home you see here from sky seven. this is all unfolding on fuller avenue. this runs parallel to 880. we understand the east bay regional park police and the alameda county sheriff. they're both involved in this pursuit. it started about 30 minutes ago, and we know it's gone through union city and now into hayward. so we do have some video from just a few minutes ago. again, all of this from sky seven when that vehicle drove into the driveway of a home. now from the video, people who lived at the home waved the truck into the driveway. and then it appears they tried to wave off the pursuing police officers and sheriff's deputies. again, this

abc seven news at 11. we have a look under the hood at a study that's generated a lot of buzz for people considering an electric vehicle. bay area researchers recently estimated that electric vehicle batteries last far longer than first believed. abc seven news meteorologist drew tuma shows us the science and how it could help keep us climate ready. >> let's go for a ride. >> on the winding roads around stanford. we're about to test drive an important discovery. our wheel man is professor william chu from the slack national accelerator laboratory. >> all right, here we go. can i give you a jolt, professor? >> chu is demonstrating the real world driving conditions that may help ev batteries last much longer than even the manufacturer's estimate. but first, it might help to tap the brakes and take a look at why those battery life projections are so different. to do that, fellow researcher alexei zhislin braved the cooling fan noise to take us into a testing lab at

the stanford battery center. >> so here we have a room full of cyclers and environmental chambers to cycle, meaning charging and discharging batteries. >> and he says the team used this row of small oven door chambers to study how the ev batteries age, but in a new way, instead of just draining them at a constant rate. they also introduce variables electronic starts and stops that more closely mimic actual driving conditions. >> so more realistic or representative of real driving. and you can see both the voltage response of the battery and the current are actually very dynamic. >> dynamic and surprising. they say the data suggests average ev battery life may be roughly 40% longer than estimated, a result that's the opposite of what the team expected. >> we were blown away when the result was exactly the opposite, that when we use the batteries in a real setting, the lifetime was much longer than expected. >> back on the road, professor

chu demonstrates what they believe is going on. first, the effects of drifting downhill on our winding road. >> so now we're going downhill. so actually, you're now continuously charging the battery. >> next, he points out the power that's recovered by the friction of the brake pads, a technology known as regenerative braking. >> oh, now we have the brake. here we go. so now we are recharging the battery just a tiny bit. the power red lights. there we go. >> and they say all those starts and stops add up to more recharging than expected. and for most drivers, longer battery life, potentially saving owners money and making electric vehicles an even more attractive option. >> so it's not something you can put a dollar amount to it on day one, but if you knew that the battery was going to last ten years rather than five years, then that's going to be a significant driver for adoption. >> and perhaps a smoother and more affordable road ahead for millions of ev owners. at

stanford, drew tuma abc seven news. >> the slack lab team tested near 100 lithium ion batteries for more than two years to generate this data. they say pairing the results with artificial intelligence could potentially lead to better battery designs. abc seven news is streaming 24 over seven. get the abc seven bay area streaming tv app and join us whenever you want, wherever you are. that's it for abc seven news at four. i'm kristen z, abc seven news at five with ama, and julian is five with ama, and julian is coming your way next. my name is david. i've been a pharmacist for 44 years and i'm from flowery branch, georgia. when i have customers come in, i recommend prevagen. number one, because it's safe and effective. does not require a prescription. and i've been taking it quite a while myself
