earthquake rattled northern california. the 4.3 magnitude quake happened 22 miles west of ferndale near eureka. a story now with changing more by the minute. this is new video just in to our newsroom this morning of what officials are calling historic and catastrophic flooding in parts of texas. cars just submerged like that one you see right there. this is what it looks like near houston. this morning rescue crews are desperately searching for 12 people still missing. >> kris sanchez has been tracking this story. kris, people are washed just to stay indoors. >> this isn't a storm sitting on top of a region that seems like it cannot take a single rain drop more. first daytime pictures as you mentioned from the air, you can see those cars now out of the water but they were completely submerged overnight. houston got in one day half of all of the rain that san jose gets in an entire year.

from the ground those cars that are in the water nearly up to the rooftops are in better shape than they were overnight. now, we have video from inside an upscale mall in houston where folks were stranded overnight. this is the parking garage you can see the flood water s pressing against the glass doors. looked like an aquarium. we have video of the warriors and rocket fans who had to huchker down as well. that's coming up. here's what's going on out side. the rain relentless. you can see the lightning there in the distance as well. houston again, four inches and counting in the out lies areas. eight inches of rain has fallen. to austin now where in the daylight you can see the flooding on city streets. probably no surprise that dozens of people had to be rescued from the rising waters as cars washed aw away. shoal creek burst the banks and is flooding a large part of the city not far from the university campus and capital as well. among the 12 people missing are this mother and her two

children. the family of four swept away in a vacation cabin which broke apart. the father was found alive 12 miles away but the mother and two children have not been seen yet. texas national guard is scouring for the family and the other missing people. consider this, that blanco river floods at 12 feet. it crested at 43. that river runs between austin and san antonio and so the governor is warning people that this disaster is continuing to flow downstream. the severe weather in the houston area for some fans enjoying the rockets/warriors game to stay in a little longer than expected. some actually still stuck inside at the toyota center right now. nearly eight hours after the game ended. just a short time ago the toyota center tweeted out, quote, we are providing water, coffee, bagels, and cinnamon rolls and a place to charge your phone. no word on how long fans will actually be hunkered down

inside. the warriors will try to fly home today. and want to check in with rob. they will be in for a bumpy ride if this doesn't doesn't appear to be letting up. >> overnight the rain was incredible across parts of the gulf coast and south texas. line of intense thunderstorms around the third quarter of the basketball game there with the rockets and warriors at houston at the toyota center. this morning as search and rescue efforts continue around houston seeing a break in the action. it was right there around downtown houston you saw that mainline of very intense rain of rain falling at two to three inches of rain per hour. this is the radar estimate of the rainfall as it crossed into houston. darker area. south of downtown picking up more than a foot of rain. now, today, we're seeing that active weather set up across north central texas. we're going the see the pattern almost reset itself later on today with that slight risk of severe weather to enhanced risk of severe weather for central texas again. they're seeing a little bit of a lull in the action right now. more severe weather could track

across central and central texas. to give you perspective, san jose, if you took all the rain that houston saw, january, february, march, april, through the first part of summer, again, all the rain that houston saw fall about six hours' time is more than half the annual rainfall in san jose and in a place like houston with all the paved roadways that much water coming down, completely overwhelms runoff systems. fortunately still the risk of more flooding today as intense thunderstorms form over the same areas again. back to you. >> rob, those rescue efforts continuing in the houston area. for updates on the escalating situation throughout the southwest, just download our nbc bay area app where you can get personalized microclimate forecast and new updates any time. it looks scary. it looked bad. this morning steph curry says he feeting, quote, okay after falling several feet, landing on his head and back. it's just tough to watch. >> concerns initially he might have suffered a concussion. "today in the bay's" stephanie chuang is live at oracle arena.

they did not lose their star player to a serious injury. >> absolutely. forget game four, the loss. the sweep. seeing steph curry leaving the game and talking in a post-press conference was enough for the fans. it's hard to watch as you mentioned. this is the second quarter in houston last night when curry tries to block trevor's shot. instead, neys into the air with a half flip, lands hard on his shoulder and head. gets up later on his own. undergo tests that shows it's not a concussion, it's a head contusion. the mvp admitting the moment was scary. >> i had worse symptoms and stuff from getting hit in the head but that was the scariest one because you're in the air for a long time and not knowing how you're going to hit the floor, knowing that it's going to happen. >> reporter: thankfully this is what happened. steph curry returning to the court. he mouthed, i'm okay, to his parents and his wife. warriors of course can clinch the west with one more win.

it is worth noting the rockets did face elimination with the clippers three times and won that series but the dubs have home court advantage. of course with game five tomorrow night here at 6:00 at oracle arena. live here in oakland, stephanie chuang, "today in the bay." >> health first, steph. now look at the logistics as stephanie just mentioned the western con fleference finals m back to the bay. tipoff is tomorrow it noo at 6:00. if the warriors lose, game six will be back in houston on friday. if they manage to force a win or go home game seven, that game will be played in oakland on sunday. 6:07. crews are expected to remove part of a broken oil pipeline near santa barbara today. plains all american operates that pipeline. company officials say the pipe will be tested to see if deterioration led to last week's oil spill that fouled the santa barbara coastline. it's now looking at four other potential weak spots in the pipeline to see if they need to be re-enforced or actually replaced. in the meantime, workers are

san jose upper 70s by friday. close to 80 on saturday and the tri-valley now looking at those highs in the low 80s as we move into the start of the weekend. mike? >> temperatures getting ready for summer vacation like a lot of kids. looking over here toward the bay bridge. show you the slowdown. as the sun comes up, no taillights but if you take a second, very slow as the camera does stutter a bit as well. traffic is moving slowly in towards the treasure island tunnel. the crash over on the city side. the western side of the treasure island tunnel. looks like from the reports the activity is now pushing off towards the san francisco exits. should mean a smoother drive. metering lights likely slow done. approach to the bay bridge all moving smoothly for the east shore freeway and approaching out of oakland. heading out of oakland southbound down toward the hayward area, other slow spot. the rest of your patterns are typical. southbound 880 hit with a number of crashes at marina. both cleared. now as we look at oakland coliseum camera heading down

toward the area. just now recovery. at the bottom of the screen with the street sign is moving better in the last three minutes. seen a lot of improvement condensing around 98 slow to marina boulevard from earlier crashes. no problem for the south bay or peninsula. this is actually light or near typical tuesday. good stuff. >> good stuff. >> take that news any day of the week. thank you, mike. 6:12. up next, parents watch in horror as a bounce house flies out of control and there are several kids inside. the whole thing was caught on camera. plus, a silicon valley great says silicon valley is no place for his company.

iraqi troops on stand by near ramadi preparing to confront isis militants who took over that city earlier in the month. the iraqi military announcing the start of the operation earlier this morning.

isis seized a large parts of anbar province starting last year but it was the fall of ramadi recently marking a major defeat for iraqi forces. it is 6:14. australian's prime minister wants to pass a law to punish people suspected of supporting isis even if they're not convicted. this morning prime minister tony abbott says he hopes to pass the law within weeks. it would allow the government to strip is it citizenship from dual nationals suspected terrorists even if not convicted of a crime. more than 100 australians are expected to be fighting with isis. other terrorist groups in syria and iraq. as many as 50% of those are dual citizens. the fbi right now looking into a series of threats called in yesterday by someone who claimed that chemical weapons or within board airplanes. the threats turned out nobody to be credible but two fighter jaets escorted this air france plain to new york as a precaution. if pla the plane and passengers were later cleared.

the threa investigators believe that the same person is behind all of those calls. >> congress is getting a bit frantic about extending the patriot act in one form or another. >> it's getting complicated, scott mcgrew. the senate rejected it which would have kept the nsa's telephone records program alive. >> as it stands nout thw, that be fine with some people. the senate, as you may recall, tried and failed to adopt the au usa freedom act. senator rand paul here stood his ground and made a name for himself in the campaign as well for objecting to the fact that the senate was not allowed to propose any changes. changes and amendments are stand procedures for the senate. the house is dabbling with some changes to make the usa freedom act more palatable. remember the house isn't even in session so congressional leaders are doing all of this by phone.

so it's the usa freedom act that they're working on as they race to beat the deadline for the patriot act. now, the whole patriot act doesen end at the end of the month but key parts of it do. so this bill would fix that. in related news, apple founder steve told a newspaper he thinks secret leaker edward snowden is a hero. not for what snowden exposed but because he followed his heart. it's not the first time he has spoken out. a few years ago he compared snowden to ellsberg of pentagon papers fame. this fellow feels zimmerman is one of the people who invented the sort of powerful incrisp that keeps the government out of your e-mail and texas messages. he invented the right here in the south bay but just an understand noed he's moving his company to switzerland to better protect it. we'll get new data this morning on house prices. this comes later this morning. last month case-shiller reports home prices gained 2% in the previous month measured here in

the san francisco region. san francisco across to oakland and down the east bay. nearly 10% guys to the entire year compare that to new york city, 2%. chicago, 3 1/2%. we are 10%. >> for the year they were up 2%. >> year to year, yep, from this month to the month in the year brief use. >> amazing. >> no kidding. business percentage there. we feel it here. thanks a lot. amazing and scary moments all caught on camera. take a look at this. two of three children hurt when a bounce house went airborne in ft. lauderdale. those kids luckily are all of the hospital this morning. it happened yesterday as people celebrated memorial day at the beach. wind from a water spout lifted up that inflatable bouncy house with the three kids inside. they were dumped out on to the -- dumped out shortly after it went airborne. the house went 50 feet into the air. the three kids all under 8 were

880 in oakland. road is dry. mist reported near the airport and oakland and pleasanton and san jose. 57 degrees. the winds onshore pumping in the marine layer. 3,000 feet high. no trouble spilling into the inland valleys. as the winds pick up 10 to 20 miles per hour this afternoon, that will ensure another cool day today. even though we're going to break out the sunshine around 10:00 and 11:00 this morning for most spots inland we'll see the temperatures staying cool and clouds hanging out on the coast and increasing again as we past 3:00. towards 7:00 right across the san bruno gap. low clouds spilling back into the bay. 50s, probably says in 50s bay area wide. inland locations a t the bottom of the screen begin to break out to the sunshine, mid 60s around lunchtime. ent choo ally highs climbing to the low 70s. south of downtown san jose. average high tos for san jose w be upper 70s. all areas in green, days cooler than the average for san jose. warmest day was on may 1st. that was 84 degrees.

approach sunday. >> turn our camera in emeryville toward the incline. you can make out through the gray here. fog is hanging around. we do have a slower drought continuing across the span. this is how it looks on the maps. red on our sensors where it feels like it's stand but it hasn't. earlier crash on the tunnel, it does sound like the activity is moving off towards san francisco. i can't tell you it's cleared just yet. slowed down the metering lights and now jammed up off the berkeley curve. the other slow spot is southbound 880. nimitz freeway south through san leandro and the san mateo bridge, number of crashes. a new one reported at marina boulevard. 680, another crash clearing from the middle of the roadway. that's been there for 15 minutes. that's of causing a big slowdown south of walnut creek.

accelerating 10 to 20 miles per hour. that has been the trend now for the last couple of weeks. pumping in the low clouds overnight and to the morning and keeping our temperatures quite cool even if the sunshine for the afternoon. so notice the clouds hanging out all day long. ocean beach down towards half-moon bay, midday sunshine. closer to sapp a cruise for the afternoon. mid 50s through most likely 10:00 this morning and then by lunchtime we inbegin to break out of the low clouds for inland spots. 71 in san jose. 72 in morgan hill. san francisco, cool. highs in the upper 50s to low 60s. still near 70 in the warmes spots around the north bay low 70s tri-valley. notice san jose, temperatures are climbing upper p 70s by friday. 80 to kick off the weekend at san jose. and for livermore and the tri-valley going above average for a change which is 78 degrees. livermore this time of year. low 80s for the weekend. and then trending just a i'll little bit cooler. not as cool as the temperatures today.

toward danville. typical build for the tri-valley. fremont shows a build and south bay just a light build northbound 101. no major concern. folk s do see one crash on the peninsula. as we come back to studio i'll let you know southbound 101 at millbrae, crash reportedly blocking your fast lane. use caution through the area. chp has to give me an update on that. >> sounds good. thank you. meantime, investigative unit exclusive, the head of the nation's immigration court system is calling on congress to fix a system he says is broken and backlogged with so many cases it will take years to catch up. tonight for the first time ever, the director of the u.s. immigration court system known as the executive office for immigration review sits down on camera to answer questions about the problems. director 101 blames budget cutbacks that stretched over years combined with last summer's surge in undocumented immigrants for straining a system beyond the breaking point. >> the reality is the system is

over burdened, absolutely. that works to the detriment, not just to the system itself but also people that have been waiting for their hearings for a long time. >> tonight at 11:00, steven stock takes us behind the scenes of u.s. immigration court here in san francisco and investigates what it's going to take to fix the system that has some people waiting four years for a have court hearing. if you have a story for us call our tip line at 888-996-tip or send us an e-mail to theunit@nbcbayarea.com. investigators no doubt paying attention to this. up next at 6:00, accusations of murder for the family of the late b.b. king. who they think poisoned the blues legend. investors paying close attention to this. look at this. the markets are down this morning. we'll continue to check the numbers. a lot of business news ahead. 6:37.

welcome back. mystery solved. more than 30 years later with the discovery of human remains in the east bay. according to the marin independent journal medical examiner's recently identified the remains of elizabeth martinson discovered in fremont. 21-year-old was a swedish exchange student living in greenbrae when she disappeared in 1982. investigators pinpointed a person of interest years ago. h i was convicted of stealing her car. that man was never charged in her death. two daughters of a late blues legend b.b. king claim their father's death was not an accident. the daughters filed affidavits claimed king's business manager poisoned him. they also requested a formal investigation. a lawyer for king's estate

called the allegations ridiculous. the 89-year-old singer died earlier this month at his home in las vegas. in trouble again and again, without a job. former 49ers star ray mcdonald is facing a new round of charges after his third arrest in a year. nbc bay area broke the story yesterday. san jose police arrested mcdonald after they say he broke down his apartment door and assaulted a woman inside holding a baby. they say he was arrested later at the house of former teammate justin smith. now his new team and ex-team chicago bears promptly kicking him off the squad. mcdonald was never charged in the two prior arrests. one fordow mess tick violence and one for sexual assault but it may weigh into whether prosecutors pursue a case this time. >> domestic violence by its very nature takes place behind closed doors. so that prior history particularly if it's documented is going to be critical to the da's case if they decide to pursue charges. >> mcdonald faces misdemeanor

domestic violence and child endangerment charges. coming up, it looked horrible but it could have been much worse. >> got no control over yourself. and it could have been a lot worse. >> steph curry opens up about his health after his scare in the air brought the basketball world to a stand testill. catastrophic floods in texas wreak havoc in the lone star state. look at our neck of the woods. cloudy by the bay. but rob case to get those sunglasses handy. we're back with 15 minutes of nonstop news, traffic, and wlwe.

breaking news. a house under construction nothing but a burned out shell this morning. this home in sonoma boulevard caught fire just before 3:30 this morning. people who shot the video say they could feel the heat from inside the car. it happened in fairfield. witnesses tell us they don't think anyone was home at the time so so far no reports of any injuries. new this morning. whileoff sleeping another earthquake rattling northern california. the 4.3 magnitude quake happened 22 miles west of ferndale near eureka. this is the latest of earthquakes rattling up and down the west coast. traffic backed up. want to check in for a look around the bay. how is it looking? >> not so bad. laura, as a lot of folks know,
