commute begins. so the problems are not completely over yet. from our live picture from mount tam. this is a temporary lull. level two system is headed in our direction. you can see it here on live doppler seven. and as we take a look at some of the concerns, a flood watch is in effect for the north bay. grounds are saturated. any more rain that falls on top of swollen streams and creeks will lead to the possibility of flooding. flood warning is still in effect for the russian river at guerneville that saw moderate flooding earlier this morning. the river water is receding. 7:00 you will notice that rain moves onshore. it's widespread. by noontime, you're seeing pockets of heavier rain coming through here, and really it becomes more scattered for the evening commute. as we take a look at the winds, they ramp up close to 50 miles an hour along the coastline out of the south. this is a level two storm. rain, brief downpours, gusty winds, thunder chance and even the possibility of flooding. so the storm concerns high likelihood of minor flooding on not just streams and creeks, but

roadways, trees going down, moderate likelihood and power outages and mudslides is low. but that doesn't mean you should let your guard down. i'll be back to tell you about some changes coming in time for the weekend. >> all right. thank you. sandhya. we'll check back. check out these new images showing how high the russian river has gotten. an evacuation warning is in place for parts of unincorporated sonoma county and the city of santa rosa because of flooding and landslides. risks. as of today, the russian river is in the moderate flood stage at more than 36ft. in certain areas. >> probably about 25ft of mud just kind of slid into the house and took out the house. it was just so scary, very scary. >> very scary for sure. crews across sonoma county are on alert for more landslides. after a busy and very destructive last 24 hours. one family who rebuilt their home after the tubbs fire watched their home be destroyed again when a wall of mud plummeted through their property. it's one of at least five landslides across the bay area over the last day, from

across the north bay to san francisco. abc seven news reporter j.r stone spoke with experts about homeowners options and more. rain is on the way. >> this is all new drone video showing a landslide that came right into a home in santa rosa, where two people were rescued tuesday night. it's one of several landslides this week. this is sky seven video of a landslide in fairfax. this is video of a landslide in forestville. and this is video of a landslide in san francisco's telegraph hill neighborhood that went through a retaining wall and into a bike lane and traffic lane. >> it's really crazy. i'm scared. i mean, wow, what did happen? >> i wouldn't have expected that. it just seems like it's pretty stable. >> should we be surprised at all? >> no, honestly, this type of movement we see very often in the winter months when we have a solid rain. >> that's san jose state university professor laura sullivan, green. >> telegraph hill. there's been

lots of failures there over the years, and they've done some improvements on it and improved drainage, improved retaining walls to kind of maintain that. >> while the houses above aren't deemed to be at risk at this point, there is concern on the ground. >> so i was just telling my friends right here that i don't think i'm gonna commute using this sidewalk anymore. it's because what if it rains again and the same situation happens? >> sullivan green says people should make sure there is proper drainage where they live, but doesn't feel that homeowners out there should be on high alert after this. cal state professor benad tiwari says he would use caution after larger slides like the one in santa rosa and forestville, where there were evacuations. >> i would be cautious for this. this large amount of rainfall for an extended period of time. if the area is getting landslide with, let's say, two and a half or three inches of rainfall, now, same area may get

landslide, but way lower amount of rainfall in in in 2 or 3 days or even a week. >> while both professors agree that the slides often happen during the winter months, that doesn't make it any easier for homeowners having to deal with this. j.r stone, abc seven news. >> we have new details tonight on a major move by the warriors ahead of tomorrow's nba trade deadline. >> yeah this is really interesting. the dubs have acquired six time all star jimmy butler and will be paying him handsomely. >> yes. abc7 news sports director larry beil has more. beal on the deal. >> yes. very handsomely. and joe like him taking a big swing i like it. the warriors they were trying to bring kevin durant back were this close. and then k.d. said no i don't want to do that. so the dubs quickly pivoted. this afternoon they traded for all star forward jimmy butler from miami. butler wanted a big extension from the heat, and pat riley said, we ain't doing that. so butler started acting out and as a result, he's been suspended three times this season. jimmy

get to work. >> could take some time. we still don't know when jimmy butler is going to join the team. warriors are in utah tonight. we'll show you highlights of that debacle later on. and tomorrow they're in la to play the lakers. and then maybe saturday at chicago might be jimmy's first game. but he's been suspended so many times. he hasn't played in several weeks. so he's got to ramp up fast. >> we hope it works. >> but yeah. >> we hope we can keep him happy. >> happiness is. >> 121 mill. >> happiness is elusive. >> and certainly for him. >> yeah, yeah. >> for sure. thanks, larry. >> all right. >> el pueblo unido. >> an anti-deportation rally took place tonight at the plaza at 24th and mission streets. this is one of several rallies held not just in the bay area, but across the country. today, it was billed as 5051 protest day, 50 states, 50 protests. one day. many of them took place at state capitols. all of them wanted to call attention to the trump administration's immigration crackdown. governor

newsom, meantime, met with president trump for more than an hour today to discuss more federal aid for the southern california wildfires. newsom's office describes the white house meeting as very productive. trump has previously pitched attaching conditions to any federal aid to california. while in washington, newsom also met with members of congress about the rebuilding effort. >> china is lodging a complaint with the world trade organization over president trump's new tariffs, claiming they are based on false allegations. the president says the taxes are meant to fight the fentanyl crisis and stop the flow of drugs from china to the u.s. abc seven news reporter tara campbell went to the experts to understand whether this approach could pay off on bay area streets. >> president donald trump taking aim at china with a 10% tariff, saying the tax is intended to address china's role in the fentanyl crisis here in the u.s. >> it's a drug war. everybody wants to make it a trade war, but this is a drug war, and we're just trying to stop the

carnage. >> the president has been touting tariffs as a way to disrupt the flow of fentanyl since the campaign trail this week, making good on his promise to tax goods imported from china while delaying potential tariffs on mexico and canada. >> 75,000 americans die every single year. that's about as many people are going to be in the superdome on sunday because of the fentanyl precursors that come from china, that go into mexican drug cartel labs. >> these can be done literally in a basement, in a warehouse 24 hours a day, seven days a week. their only limiting factor is how fast they can get these precursor chemicals. >> bob barras is the special agent in charge of the san francisco division of the drug enforcement agency. >> dea is absolutely in mexico, working with our partners down there trying to stem the tide down there. >> meanwhile, the experts say diplomatic pressure has long been a way of trying to get china's cooperation. >> we do know from the past it can be done.

>> keith humphreys is a professor of psychiatry at stanford university and a former white house senior drug policy adviser. >> about ten, 15 years ago, there was a lot of diplomacy, fairly quiet between the united states and china, which resulted in them scheduling, meaning controlling a certain set of chemicals that seems to have reduced overdose deaths around 2019. >> while he says tactics like tariffs can work the way president trump is going about it might not. >> the difference this time, though, is to do it in such a public and potentially humiliating way, and that can easily backfire. >> in the past, he says, these types of moves have been done quietly. >> china is a nuclear armed superpower and very concerned about their image in the world. so sometimes publicly demanding something from china and shaming china is less effective than talking to them quietly. >> now, this week, president trump announced he would be hitting pause on terrorists plan

for mexico and canada, saying mexico has pledged to deploy thousands of members of its national guard to the border. and canada will now have what's being called a fentanyl czar. as for more negotiations coming down the pike, we will have to wait and see. dan. >> okay, tara. thank you. hundreds of cold cases are getting a new look with high tech tools as police in the south bay hope to finally give sexual assault survivors closure. >> the prices are brutal. i mean, that's if you can find them at all. the egg outlook as our bird flu outbreak takes a concerning new turn. >> plus a sign of our water worries washing away the positive impact from

testing. >> this doesn't necessarily solve the case, but it points the police in the right direction to start asking questions. >> the grant will also go towards hiring more manpower to track and investigate cases. >> that's why this is so important that you have an analyst. you have detectives working on these kits because at the end of the day, there's going to be a question as to the veracity of this information in court. so everything needs to be done by the book. >> police couldn't provide an exact number of kits that will be resubmitted for testing, but said 900 is a conservative estimate. the nonprofit ywca golden gate silicon valley offers real time support to survivors who are navigating medical forensic exams. >> our advocates are first responders to valley medical center as well as to stanford hospital. so the bulk of our work, we're working with survivors from san jose all the way up through palo alto. >> ceo adriana barros hopes survivors will be informed

through this retesting process. >> depending on how long ago the kits were done, it could be years and people could have healed and moved on, and it could be a really jarring experience to have that reopened again and have to move through a lot of those things. >> clark said it's imperative that kits are retested as soon as possible. >> it's important that we recognize that these are not just pieces of evidence, but these are pieces of people's lives. >> in san jose, lauren martinez, abc seven news. >> if you or someone you love has been a victim of sexual assault, we have resources posted on our website. head to abc7 news.com/take action. >> by god, they had everything but eggs. >> i don't get that many eggs now. >> it's outrageous. i just don't understand why egg prices got to be so high. >> well, it is a growing frustration frying everyone's patience at the grocery store, rising egg prices, and that's if you can even find them in stock. the shortages and price hikes are showing the cracks in the egg industry. with a lengthy bird flu outbreak that keeps getting worse. and that is the

focus of tonight's deep dive. looking at the fast evolving virus and its impact on the bay area. first, we're going to take a look at the new concern after the u.s. department of agriculture found a second strain of bird flu in a u.s. dairy and in a number of cows there. the new strain was discovered in nevada last friday through a milk testing program. it's the same strain linked to a person who died in louisiana. it's the same strain and that has previously only been detected in birds and people who had contact with the infected birds. >> because it's been transmitted so rapidly among cows. the worry is that that new strain that caused people to get sicker when they got it might be more easily transmitted. >> there have been 957 confirmed cattle infections in 16 states. >> in california this week. health officials confirmed bird flu in a backyard poultry flock in san mateo county. 32 dairy farms across the state have

tested positive for bird flu in the last 30 days. there are at least 38 confirmed human cases in california. have we close out this deep dive the way we began with the consequence of the outbreak that all of us are feeling. if you're hoping to get your break on egg prices, don't expect one anytime soon. >> i wish i could give people a little light at the end of the tunnel, but we need a sustained period where we have no new outbreaks to allow our industry to recover. >> i don't even see eggs on the shelf when i go. more than 40 million birds have already been euthanized over the last year because of the bird flu, and that's expected to go up by another 15 million. the u.s. department of agriculture is warning consumers egg prices could increase by another 20% this year. >> we're counting down to the 2025 chinese new year parade, where a little more than a week away to the big event on saturday, february 15th. it's going to be great. you can watch it live right here and everywhere you stream abc seven tonight, san francisco mayor
