could bring to the bay area. the aftermath still plaguing communities after yesterday's storm. "today in the bay" starts now. and a very good morning to you, thanks so much for joining us, i'm laura garcia-cannon. >> i'm sam brock. referring to the mudslides. we'll get to that in a second. what were rain totals like yesterday and what does today hold? >> we had men meiny daily rainfall records set and today it is much cooler behind that front and clear skies. 40 degrees in the north bay and 49 degrees in the east bay and the peninsula. look for highs today mainly in the upper 60s, but hitting 70 degrees in the north bay and in the tri-valley a high of 70 degrees, as well. i'll detail what to expect through the rest of the week and the next chance of rain in the forecast. let's check in with mike to see how it looks for the morning commute. >> the dry roadways helping folks out. no longer the backup for the cash lanes and everybody is open

for business this morning and moving well. we'll look at your map and show no more of that green highlighting across the bay and just the green speed sensors and that means the speed limit over here for the east shore as well as the north bay and move the map out. looking over here towards the tri-valley and little slowing out of the altamont and over towards livermore. nothing like livermore's big d rig. the poll is election day. only a few hours away from the start of voting and several key measures are up for debate including one that has protesters. but kris sanchez keeping track of what you need to know before you cast your vote today. kris snrx. >> san francisco is the hot bed for this particular election and a lot of it is related to mayor ed lee. now, he is on the ballot, along with five other candidateswanti. political analyst predict that he will easily win a second

term. now, the district 3 supervisor race, though, really may say more on how voters feel about mayor ed lee because he is backing julie christiansen and former supervisor peskin. mayor lee has taken a strong position on air b & b measure which would restrict short-term rentals to 70 days a year instead of the current 90. prop a broadly supported affordable housing measure which is a $310 million bond to build low income and middle income affordable housing. san francisco mayor or sheriff will find out if his support for the city's sanctuary policy might cost him his job. he is running against a former intern shar intern sheriff and also business owner john robinson. you're saying, i don't live in san francisco.

san mateo county is making history today with the first all mail-in election and an effort to increase voter turnout so voters can drop them off if they don't want to mail them in. you can go to your local city or town hall. registered voters can still vote in person at the san mateo county elections office or at the county clerk's office in redwood city. if you are a santa clara county resident and, gosh, it seems really quiet, that is because it is. it is a consolidated election and only people registered in the city of los gp aaltos. you can find election news for where you live on our website, nbcbayarea.com. >> definitely got your hands full today, kris. thank you very much. coming up in the next half hour, a big election day in other parts of the country. live to washington with a preview of ballot measures across the u.s. that could have

a large impact nationally. for complete election coverage as kris just mentioned check out nbcbayarea.com. san francisco leaders are poised to pass tough new gun sale laws. supervisors are holding a final vote on a new law, in fact, that requires use of any gun or ammunition sale. the problem is san francisco's last gun store recently shut its doors for good citing regulations. supervisors say the new law is aimed at any gun store that may open down the road. laura, still a lot of mystery surrounding an apparent freeway shooting that left a man critically injured. police first got that call a little after 4:00 p.m. yesterday on westbound interstate 80 in san pablo. officers found a man inside of a bullet riddled car stopped on the shoulder of the road. traffic backed up and police and the chp investigated.

>> hard to say what could have happened at this point. so many options that you just don't know what could have been out there. a break in traffic and a million witnesses? we just don't know at this point. >> investigators right now don't have a lot to go on. they're still not sure if it was a case of road rage, targeted shooting or random act of violence. talked about a pretty big storm that hit the bay area and now moved out. we'll get to that in just a moment. new this morning, actually stopped and then assaulted. scary moments unfold for uc berkeley students who just learned the latest report of the sexual assault there. it happened outside the beverly cle clary dorm. do police know what led up to this? >> you know what, it's interesting, they didn't get the report directly from the student and the victim, but this is what they do know from one of the people who live around here. that in the end tried to get physical and force his way into a dorm here where a female student lives.

this, apparently, happened after the female student got off the bus. this is a week ago from last night. so, monday night, october 26th. police say the man unfamiliar to her started to follow this female student and talk to her and she ignored him as he walked to the dorm and that's roughly two blocks away. went to the front door and the man grabbed the woman's arm and shirt and trying to intimidate her to letting him inside. but someone else opened the door and that's when police say the man took off. there is no suspect description. again, to be very clear, police say the victim has not reported this incident. done by a. cassecurity authority which would include people like parking enforcement, staff, faculty and residential adviser. this assault taking a place a week before campus police issued this warning and what isn't clear is why it took a week. on a related note, cal was one of four california universities audited by the state on how it

handled sexual assault and violent support. when conclusion from the june 24th summary that the university do not sufficiently train on responding and reporting to appropriate officials. since then resources for students adding 24/7 confidential care advocates and that's to provide free help for victims or survivors on resources, on their rights and on different options for reporting. live here at the cal transtephanie chuang. >> another chilling attack there. thank you, stephanie. san francisco police looking for this man seen here in a surveillance video. investigators say he beat up 560-year-old man outside of a coffee shop in san francisco. the victim ultimately died from his injuries. this happened on october 1 and investigators believe the suspect was looking at construction jobs in the city on that day. the storm is moving out, but the mess is still here.

mudslides slam livermore, hillsides causing dangerous conditions for drivers leaving many to wonder if this is a sneak peek of what el nino could bring. bob redell live in livermore. >> fortunately, laura, for commuters who move from central valley here to livermore and paterson path as you can see behind me is reopened. this is one of the vital thur ofares. they use this windy, two-lane road to come into livermore. this is after mud poured on to this windy, two-lane road during yesterday's heavy rain storm. stranding at least one driver, alameda county public works department brought in heavy equipment to remove the mess. >> part of them we can handle and once the hail started and the lightning started we had to close the road for safety reasons.

>> again, paterson pass reopened. this is in the hills southeast of livermore. that's where another mudslide closed that road. you might recall that area burned this summer and left the hill side bare and susceptible to erosion, especially during heavy rain. not just a problem here in livermore, but in the rest of the bay area, as well. take a look at this map from the california geological survey. the red of the area on the map, the greater the threat of a mudslide and, unfortunately, as you can see in that map a lot of red. here are a not so obvious warning about a mudslide. something you want to keep in mind as we enter what is a rainy season. courtesy of the usgs. see unusually wet ground that could be an indication of the broken water pipe or a spring that is under ground that has sprung because of shifting ground. something you want to keep an eye on. if you notice that your fence lines are offset if you live out here in the rural area or live on a hill and you notice that

your windows and doors are starting to sink. again, maybe some not so obvious signs that the area you're in susceptible or prone to a mudslide. bob redell, "today in the bay." want to check in with kari right now who did get a good amount of rain and now it feels like fall out there. >> it does. temperatures in the upper 30s in the north bay in napa. it's 45 degrees in concord and san jose at 48 degrees. definitely a jacket needed today. you may keep it on all afternoon with the highs only making it into the mid-60s. we'll see 60s all across the bay area with a few spots hitting the low 70s. like santa rosa, as well as livermore. reaching 71 degrees. but the gusty winds will also help dry out the ground and we'll continue to dry out through the rest of the week. we'll have another chance of rain in the forecast. i'll detail that coming up a little bit later. let's see how the commute is moving now with mike. >> this live picture right here of the brightly lit, because of

this advertising here. it's dry, it's clear, it's moving very well and that's pretty much the case as we look at your map anywhere south through san mateo bridge. that's great stuff. a sharks game tonight, that's something to look forward to. downtown san jose, but not concern right now. approaching the bay bridge. behind the 580 moves smoothly. bob talked about mudslides off the paterson pass and 580 itself clearly and oakland we can just look at 880 past the coliseum. works just fine, guys. >> you're not sitting in it, i guess. coming up, a shift in strategy. the reason the fate of the controversial keystone pipeline is suddenly hanging in the balance. a silicon valley company says it has great news. why are we suspicious? we'll take a look, coming up in "business and tech."

the american public is with more now on decision 2016 a new poll indicating how frustrated the american public is with washington insiders. our nbc/"wall street journal" poll has ben carson jumping to the largest lead so far. 29% of possible voters. carson is followed by fellow washington outsider donald trump at 23% and, as you can see, the candidates with years of political experience continuing to fall farther behind. >> what you're seeing right now is the conservative and the outsider wing has really taken charge of the energy of the

party. >> on the democratic side, our poll shows that hillary clinton has solidified her lead over person bernie sanders up from 25% earlier this month to a 31% voter approval, i guess, or voter interest right now. the fate of the controversial keystone pipeline suddenly in limbo after a surprise shift in strategy. the company wants to build the pipeline from canada to texas hassed the u.s. government to temporarily suspend its application. the company made the request in by time to sort out a dispute with the state of nebraska over the planned pipeline route. it's believed the company will wait out the results of next year's election before forging ahead with its own effort. emission scandal involving volkswagen is growing. the company is denying new allegations that it installed a emissions cheating software on another one of its diesel powered engines. wv installed on 2014 to 2016 cars with 6 cylinder diesel

engines. volkswagen admitted to cheating to 4 cylinder models. 10,000 cars sold in the u.s. the original scandals included 11 million cars sold worldwide. those engines went into porsche and audi cars. volkswagen owns those cars. >> scott mcgrew continuing our coverage. >> sam, that may not be the worst of it. volkswagen is really on the hook because of the testimony from its executives. what if, what if they did not tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth to congress? they already lied to customers. we know that. but the new worry this morning for the company is what if they were untruthful to the united states congress? vw testified only a very few engineers knew about the cheating, but that's getting harder and harder to believe as this scandal grows. san francisco-based fitbit is saying all kinds of happy things

this morning. not afraid of the amwatch. selling more and more fitness trackers. things are great. and then the company announced it would sell more stock the follow up offering and investors hate that. shares of the company get value because there are a limited number of them. i have a share, you want a, you have to buy it from me, but when a company up new shares out of thin air, that's a sad day for i investors and fitbit is down about 7%. good morning, landon. >> hey, scott, good morning to you. stocks start out november with a decent is rammy, but markets could pull back today. the dow closing in the black for the year as investors react to several corporate deals and economic data and earnings. look for it today on factory orders. the dow rising 165 points to 17828. the nasdaq up 73. scott, back over to you.

>> all right, landon, thanks. sam and laura, you mentioned that virgin america started service to hawaii from sfo. >> did you get ticktickets? >> sparked an air war with round trip tickets under $400. we told you last week virgin america make major expansions at sfo, as well. the company said san francisco is the hottest travel market in the nation. we are hoping between the extra competition and lower oil prices we could see some very good deals, not just as to hawaii, but all over the united states coming to sfo very, very soon. >> we have hawaii. >> we are hoping to take this show on the road. >> that would be fun. >> i can't do this, but i'm feeling the whole vibe. >> we'll get you out there with those hula dancers, are you kidding? >> i wonder if sam is trying to limbo. >> a lot of talents. i know where to keep mine, that is not dancing.

but we can actually talk about enough cooler weather following the storm. >> it feels like fall, finally. our temperatures have actually been cooler than where we should be for the beginning of november and we'll see those temperatures inching up gradually over the next couple of days. live look san jose, mostly clear skies and grab a jacket before you head out. it is cool. and i even have to turn on the heater, this morning, inside the house. you may crank that up in the car, as well. looking at how much rainfall we had yesterday in san ho. the daily rainfall record was about 0.3. the official measurement at the airport was over an inch of rain and during the month of november, on average, we get about an inch and a half. san francisco, we did not set a daily rainfall record, but we were very close. and the month during the entire month of november, we normally get about three inches of rain and in livermore, wow. we really had a lot there. the numbering down will be

almost an inch and a half. the daily record was 0.75 and during the month, on average, hit close to 2 inches of rain. a lot of rain there. feeling much cooler in the upper 30s in the north bay. hour by hour in oakland. 48 degrees at 7:00. we see those temperatures slowly warming up as we go through the day making it to the low to mid-60s and with the breezy wind, with all the sunshine, it will feel cool throughout the day. so, long sleeves definitely a necessity. what people ask most of the time after a rain, when is it going to rain, again? looks like another chance on sunday and that's where we're picking up with this green here on the computer model that may linger into early monday, but the temperature trend keep it comfortable as we go through the week with highs trending into the lower 70s. let's see how the commute is rolling now with mike. >> this shot yesterday was soupy and actually sparsely populated because of that crash at the altamont. today not the case, drier and moving very well but getting some company. let's look at the map and show

you there is nothing holding you up out of the altamont. camera spot over here you have slowing as folks make their way over towards the dublin interchange. remember, also, this is tuesday. we expect a bigger volume of traffic and that seems to be what we're seeing for 580. here 101 and traffic there still so light that it was able to get to the shoulder quickly. a little backup, nonetheless. the rest of your bay moves smoothly and bay bridge toll plaza cash lanes just starting to stack up a bit and see this change over the next ten minutes, guys. coming up, we investigate technology that could solve a water crisis.

5:24 right now. we may be facing record rain storms and washouts with the coming of el nino, but no matter how much it rains before we're in a water crisis. now experts are calling on california to change how we approach water. senior investigative reporter traveled halfway around the world to the country of israel to investigate solutions to california's water crisis. >> well, good morning, guys. we discovered that the problem with our drought isn't so much a lack of rain, but our own water policies. so, we went to where they already solved the water crisis. the country of israel halfway around the world where about ten years ago they faced the

situation similar to the crisis that california faces now. israel's government changed its entire approach to water. and worked with citizens to change their attitudes towards water, as well. israel leaders told me that they started thinking about water like it was a national emergency. of like fighting the war on terrorism. now, about a decade later, israel has more water than it can use. the country even sells the extra water to its former enemies,en and the palestinians. we spent the last three months learning what israel can teach california about overcoming our drought using technology. technology we have right here in silicon valley. you can see examples of that technology and learn what we learned all on our website, just go to nbcbayarea.com. that's the latest, nbc bay area news. guys, back to you. >> thank you. if you have a tip for our investigative unit, give us a call 1-888-996-tips.

or send us an e-mail to theunit@nbcbayarea.com. the water we did. the first significant storm of the season and the aftermath to prove it. the community stilling the impact from yesterday's rainfall. the controversial measures you need to pay close attention to today. got a tip for nbc bay area's investigative unit? call 1-888-996-tips or e-mail theunit@nbcbayarea.com. nbc bay area, we investigate. joining us. i'm sam brock.

=laura/2shot= and i'm laura garcia cannon. boxes a kn tuesday morning. thank you for joining us, i'm sam brock. >> i'm laura garcia-cannon. let's check the forecast. feels like fall out there. bring out the boots. >> yes, nice and cool this morning after a soaker start to the week. and mostly clear skies, as you step out the door. 38 degrees in the north bay. it's 49 degrees in the east bay and peninsula and san francisco at 51 and expect highs in the 60s across most of the bay and a few spots hitting 70 like the north bay. i'll detail what to expect the rest of the weekend. our next chance of rain that is coming up and mike has a heads up for those south bay drivers. >> yesterday was wet conditions and this morning that is the case, it is a crash, though, just north of this shot. 101 at 680 causing a slow down and first burst of traffic and also on the map just north of this camera shot just out of our

range. a crash near the off ramp towards the oakland road off ramp there. 13th. watch for the slowing on the approach. we see it now. the activity should be completely off to the shoulder in the next couple of minutes and that burst of traffic combined with that activity really bad timing over there. the rest of your bay, an easy drive. bay bridge toll plaza those metering lights should be on in the next couple of seconds. back to you. >> when it counts, thank you, mike. also happening today, it is election day. those here and across the country. team country on the ballot measures that could have the biggest impact. kris sanchez taking a closer look at races here at home. >> first, let's go to tracie potts live in washington with the measures that could have a trickle effect across the country and here's one that generated plenty of conversation in california, marijuana also a hot topic, for one state in particular today. >> exactly. actually two states, but you're probably talking about ohio because if they pass this measure, it will be the first state in the midwest to legalize

marijuana. boy, it's been a hot issue there, you're right about that, sam. they spent millions of dollars and people for and against it. the polls in ohio seem to suggest that people are more in favor than not. the supporters say it will raise over $500,000 in rev nigh for things like public safety and health. colorado the other state where marijuana is already legal, what to do with the tax revenue that was raised from that $60 million in taxes and the state keep that or divvy that some other way. we're looking at guber nuatorial races across the country. in kentucky whether they can hold on and democrats have been down since president obama has been in office and lots of people wonder if this has any effect on 2016. we're also looking at another ballot measure that is going on. ohio has some new districting with campaign financing and school funding and down in texas whether or not people who serve in texas as public officials

actually have to meet certain residency requirements. >> that will definitely be one to watch across the country, thank you, tracie. >> let's turn closer to home and chris sanchise with a look at what is up for debate here. not everyone has a say today. >> seems unnerving to not have anything stuffed in your mail box but that is probably the case where you live. pretty quiet election in many of our nine bay area counties. san francisco really is hotbed this election and a lot of it is related to mayor ed lee. he is on the ballot along with five other candidates running for mayor. san francisco used voting and our political analyst predicts that he will easily win a second term. the district 3 supervisor seat in san francisco may say more about how voters feel about mayor ed lee because he's backing julie christiansen and also running wilma pang and mayor lee has taken a strong

position on proposition f, that so-called air b & b measure that would restrict short-term rentals to 70 days a year, not 90. also on the ballot, prop a, the broadly supported affordable housing measure, a $310 million bond meant to build low income and middle income affordable housing. now, san francisco sheriff ross mcgreeny will find out whether he'll get a another term or whether his support for the city's sanctuary policy might cost him vote. and business owner john robinson. san mateo county is making history with its all mail-in ballots. people can drop them in person if they don't want to drop them in the mail box. go to your city or town hall. registered voters who want to vote in person can still do so at the san mateo county elections office or at the county clerk's office over in

redwood city. if you're in santa clara county and think it seems really quiet, that's because it is. it is a consolidated election and only people registered in the city of los altos or the orchard school district or union school district have issues to decide. now, i am going through all the registrar voter information for all of our nine bay area counties because i was unnerved about how quiet it was, too. i'm tweeting some of those out krisnbc and putting them up on facebook and getting our team to tag them, as well. nbcbayarea.com which is where you can find all the results later. >> surprising a lot of people. they should be able to get out there and vote. san francisco voters, in fact, will also decide on several controversial measures including prop f. kris had mentioned it there. looks to regulate short-term rentals. now just yesterday proposition

air b and b's headquarters and at least dozens of messages tied. affordable housing units are essentially being turn under to hotel rooms. if passed, the proposition would limit the number of rental days. air b & b who is funding the fight against prop f says it forces neighbors to spy on each other. a lot of props on san's ballot today. another one of them, also housing related, is prop i which would regulate luxury housing construction in san francisco's very popular mission district. it's called a moratorium. essentially, if passed, it would free high-end or market rate housing construction and any project larger than five units for at least 18 months. it would also preserve land specifically to be used for affordable housing. forcing long-time residents out of that neighborhood. san francisco voters also weighing a development measure that may transform nearby mission rock. proposition d is backed by the

san francisco giants. it would wave a law restricting waterfront height limits allow to develop a neighborhood, shops and waterfront towers. cover about 28 acres including eight acres of parks and open space. for complete election coverage of all bay area counties, head to nbcbayarea.com and check election results. new this morning. scary moments for a uc berkeley student. stephanie chuang joining us live. this happened right outside a residence hall and only learning about the attack that happened a week ago today. >> we are, sam. a man grabbed a female student in front of her dorm as she's trying to get inside. grabbed her arm, her shirt, pushes her against the front door saying sexually explicit comments and open the door and

that's when the man took off. this reportedly started around 10:30 monday night of last week after the student got off a bus near durant avenue and campus police say the man unfamiliar to this student started to follow her and talked to her and she ignored him as she walked two blocks to her dorm. no suspect description. in fact, the victim hasn't even reported this directly to police. this information came from as security authority which would include people like parking enforcement, staff, faculty, residential adviser. campus police issued a warning last night. this is a week after this report assault happened and it's unclear why it took this week. on a related note, cal was one of four california universities audited by the state in how it handledual harassment and violence. the june 24th summary said theversity did not train faculty and staff on responding and reporting these incidents, in particular calling up coaches

and ras who are typically the first points of contact. since then cal to get help in terms of how to report for these students here on campus. i also want to point out, there is a campus escort safety sort of system here that can request at dusk every day, whether it's a shuttle ride or a walking escort. live here on the cal campus, stephanie chuang, "today in the bay." 5:38 right now. an el nino preview. we're still feeling the effects of it this morning. mudslides slammed hillside and livermore. now many wonder if this is sign of what is to come. bob redell live in livermore. one of the areas hardest hit out there. good morning, bob. >> good morning, laura. we just spoke with chp and they told us this area southeast of livermore caught fire this fire season that road is still closed. but right here paterson path,

this is another area shut down by mudslides this morning. as you can see, this road is open for the morning commute. a windy, two-lane road that connects commuters and the headlights heading westbound into livermore. but several hours ago this was shut down while the alameda county public works department tried to clear the roadway of mud that slid on to the pavement during yesterday's afternoon heavy rain and then this was the scene a few miles southeast of here where debris shut down tesla road. it was still shut down and at the time it did cut off one woman from her home. >> i am just coming home from work and the road closed. i live right here. this is from all the fire. i'm used to it. >> and you might recall, as i was telling you, over the summer that area of carnegie park off burns left the hillside bare

and, of course, susceptible to erosion which happened yesterday during the rain storms as we enter the start of a wet, rainy system. this is from the california geological surray and it shows the bay area and it's redder the area is, that means the area is more susceptible or greater risk for a landslide and that map is showing a lot of red. reporting live here in livermore, bob redell "today in the bay." >> everything gets to dry out today but certainly does feel like fall in the air. >> it is cool didn't feel historic in terms of our rainfall yesterday. but when you look at the numbers, a 1 before the rain tot totals. >> we have the most rain on that day in many spots like los gatos an in 1.5 and in san jose, over an inch of rain and also in lafayette. so, that was the most 24-hour rainfall totals that we had in

271 days. it dries out today, feels cooler. feels like fall after a morning start in the 40s in many spots we're only going to see those highs in the mid-60s and a few spots hitting the low 70s like santa rosa, as well, as well livermore. let's check in now with mike and still looking slow in the south bay. >> we had the crash and the bulk of it the commute starting right now for san jose. don't be in a rush for 101 northbound, it will slow you down. not a major injury crash. minor injuries at most just north of that camera shot and that might affect the off ramp, as well. the crash activity possibly sticking out to the slow lane with chp there, quite a distraction. that's 101. the rest of the south moves just fine, guys. this is the area and paterson is open. fender bender at greenville, but not a major issue and jump you over towards the bay bridge the onlier spot with congestion because the metering lights are now on, guys. back to you.

fall from grace, the news all niner fans would want to hear before this sunday's game. >> stock market disaster for one company. we'll look at "business and tech." during our devastating drought, but is it safe? scientists weigh in on the turf war of artificial soccer fields, next. in a decision that many have

been anticipating for weeks -- we've learned that the struggling 49ers have benched in a decision that many have been anticipating for weeks, niners fans, at least.

we learn that colin kaepernick benched. has confirmed the niners will start blain on sunday. a steady decline in performance for kaepernick who led the 49 toorz the super bowl just two years ago. the team traded away fan favorite davis to the broncos. in san francisco the city is going to release the environmental impact on the supposed mission bay warriors arena. just a few hours from now public hearing held at city hall where city officials will decide if the report complies with state laws. a pundit said the projects are concerned about potential traffic issues leading to patients not getting the urgent care they need at the adjacent uc hospital. there is a mounting were for parents over artificial turf made from recycled tires. questioning whether it's safe for children or if it can disease and specifically cancer. with concerns of cancer

mounting, wading into the turf war. california environmental office of health assessment is holding study sessions and conducting its thirdy on the material. the third study session was just completed in berkeley. concerned parents are eager for answers now. >> the kids from her, a goalie has leukemia and a club that she used to play on two years ago just died in august. >> there are more than 250 chemicals in chrome rubber, artificial turf. already about three dozen studies and to date we have not identified serious health risks but troubling questions have been raised. >> california is spending $3 million on that study and it will be completed in 2018. another company wants you to get your stuff as fast as possible. >> scott mcgrew, best buy is going to deliver overnight, by drone? >> not yet. google is working on that. best buy may be able to get it to you the same day, in fact. best buy joins amazon as soon as you order them.

this is just an experiment in the bay area. other news this morning, speaking of deliveries, amazon says it will expand its leave for new parents. new moms 20 weeks and dads will get six weeks. compared to other companies, that's not huge. google offers dads 12 weeks and netflix offers unlimited but amazon is its own special case. it's never been particularly googly. jeff basos says he's not running a country club. amazon and facebook could soon pass over a $300 billion value. that will put them in a club with apple, microsoft and alphabet. one good stock rally for facebook would probably do it. it passed $250 billion in july. the fastest climb to that value for any company in history. digital the maker of candy crush was just sold to activision for $6 billion. that sounds like a lot of money but celebrating its ipo.
