picture of san jose where things are looking relatively clear. so we're going to take a look. first, i want to take you live to bob redell out there on the roads. bob, what is the aftermath from this whopper storm? we didn't get a lot in the south bay but we did north of the golden gate bridge. >> reporter: yes, good morning to you. of course right now we do have a break in that rain. we're on highway 87 at guadeloupe heading through downtown san jose on northbound 280, you can see this is good, it's going to make for an easier commute but it's not good for our water supplies, the people in charge of our water tell us we need a lot more rain. yes, this storm was helpful but nowhere near enough. we're still at about 20 to 25% of normal rainfall levels for this time of the year. >> i think it would take a good you know, eight inches of rain,

basically, to start seeing measurable runoff. the shattersheds are that dry. >> reporter: right now we're headed on northbound 280 toward woodside where there is a report after tree down on 84. our traffic anchor mike inouye has more on that. mike. >> good morning, bob. hey, you know, we'll catch up with him. we have the san mateo bridge. we're look at the high rise over the high rise you might get 1/4 a gust or two of wind. chp, they did get caught. so they issued wind advisories for the two spans. there is 92, the area we showed with the live camera. bob's heading out to highway 84 at 35, that's basically in portola valley. a tree reported down across wires and bob will make his way but it's a windy road as you see from 84. we'll watch as the morning continues for reports of maybe rocks or debris or trees down as

more folks hit the roads they can report what happened. the rest of the south bay and through the peninsula moves smoothly now. we don't have flooding reported but as more folks hit the road we're likely to see more. we see slowing for 87 but no problems on that stretch. back to you. >> it's a tough one. as the rains damaged roads, caused mudslides and floods streets and businesses across the bay area. in the north bay nearly four straight days of rain turned downtown mill valley just into rivers. look at the street. this morning the waters receded but the sandbags ups in case the water rises again. flooding in businesses and costing thousands in lost revenue. >> inside the restaurant, my office was about a half foot deep. >> we've been shut down. we should be up and running now so it's lost revenue. every minute that passes that we're not open we're not making money. >> a tough go for the business. nearby homes have been affected and even mudslides. one slide severely damaged a
