a good thursday morning to you. it's 4:30. i'm sam brock. >> and i'm laura garcia-cannon. rain falling all over the bay area while you were sleeping. let's check the forecast with christina loren. >> laura, sam, happy thursday, everybody. the heaviest moisture is racing off to the sierra nevadas. we'll keep the moisture coming

in for the first part of the day and then cut it off as we head throughout tonight. but there's more rain in the forecast and we'll be talking about that as we go through this morning together. also, something very special for our viewers. al roker has taken on the challenge to break a guinness book of world records for the longest weathercast of all times. we're going to be talking to him right here on "today in the bay." magic. >> i believe you are correct. he will not be getting the rap for many an hour over there. look at the lens. not a huge amount of water. slick conditions, as christine is talking about over there. the golden gate bridge, similar shot. if it's not raining, at least the mist is heavy enough to

cause those conditions. dublin westbound. eastbound three of five lanes were closed until about 20 minutes ago. they're all back open again. back to you. >> it is a messy clean-up in downtown walnut creek. look at that. after a water main burst, sending a massive geyser into the air. it looks like there could have been thousands of gallons just pouring out there. >> the images are pretty intense. we do know it was a loose cap, not a water main break. but east bay utility district will have to give us the details on what exactly happened. joining us is the sergeant from the walnut creek police department. tell us what happened last

night. >> the walnut create police department received multiple calls about a water break. and we saw water going to heights of 70 to 80 feet. at approximately 2:21 a.m. they were able to shut off the water. >> again, this is an east bay mud question. they did talk about a loose cap. did they have to repair anything? >> correct. they said it was a loose cap. they were able to put the cap in its proper place, tighten it, there are no more issues according to east bay mud. >> and the damages to any businesses, was there any? >> none at all. we sur vafd local near businesses, everything appeared

fine. the one business is open already and everything up here is fine. >> and lastly, sergeant rengel, we're in a drought, we're looking at these images. om sure it's going through your head also. >> it's unfortunate. we wish it didn't happen but mud was able to get it solved. >> burger and grill actually closed before this happened. i talked to someone just inside now who said there was no damage inside the business. stephanie chuang, "today in the bay." >> a suspect was shot and killed

by police. he allegedly abandoned his stolen vehicle and tried unsuccessfully to carjack two people. he ultimately carjacked a third person but was confronted by police before he got out of the parking lot. he used the carjacked vehicle to ram one of their cruisers so officers opened fire, killing him. he was a multiple convicted felon. >> hours after investigators found a car off of interstate 880 in fremont, a couple hundred people held a candlelight vigil where 14-year-old ivan cruz died.

>> antonin torres was supposed to be in court to set a trial date. they say there is dna evidence linking him to the murder of a 15-year-old girl. her body was never found. >> at a neighborhood community meeting last night the police department said it wants to use the dron to get a bird's review during dangerous situations. but critics worry they'll use it to spy on people. >> to ensure that it would not be used to single out particular communities and to make sure it would not be infringing on people's first amendment rights or their right to privacy as well. >> we would like to use it

specifically for these plosive devices and potential iish -- t department bought the drone in january for $6,900. it was widely criticized because the department did not seek public input before the purchase. >> and the rain is coming. >> the rain and the roker-thon. >> the perfect storm coming to the on "today in the bay." good morning to you. we needed the rain. we actually have some decent totals to show you so far in san francisco. just shy of 0.1 inch and there's still more rain out there as we head throughout the next couple hours. you can see the heavy stuff right now is pushing out of the
