we haven't yet talked to the homeowners. you can see they are definitely in the christmas spirit with all those christmas lights. it's hard to say if they'll still be in the christmas spirit after all this. my guess is they'll probably be asking santa for two new cars for christmas. live from east palo alto, laura malpert for "today in the bay." 5:04. also new this morning, amid the cool temperatures and whipping winds, take a look at this, a man was found hanging on for dear life on a cliff near baker beach. strong winds were whipping around. you could even hear them for a moment. this is him. firefighters were able to rescue him and save him. we're going to hear from that man, how thankful he is this morning in our next half hour. >> he's very lucky a nearby neighbor heard the screams. 5:04 on your friday. now to the north bay, flooding

it also crushed two more mercedes cars. it brought down power lines and damaged a waterline. that's why there were evacuations last night for a few hours because of concern of a gas line breach. pg&e has been out here to put the power lines back up. it's hard to see, but the power has not been restored. there's about 300 customers still without power. as i was mentioning, fortunately no one hurt after this large oak tree comes down on this house here vlgs this carport at 98 magnolia street. there was a tree trimming car out here cleaning up some of the mess. the bulk of it is still on top of what used to be a garage. live in san anselmo. >> thanks a lot, bob. 5:32. in the south bay the storm kept crews busy in an area susceptible to slides, especially the burn area devastated by the loma wildfire.

because thousands of acres are now unstable, fire crews and very nervous homeowners are still keeping an eye on trouble spots. >> still so much runoff because of the burn scar, normally it would absorb nicely. >> crews had trouble keeping up. in some cases drivers encountered minor flooding like here on highway 9. kris sanchez will join us with a live report in our next hour. we also want to show you how much rain the burn area of the loma fire received. you see the red outline on the screen roughly where the fire hits. you put the radar over it and a steady amount of rain kept moving through. all the yellow spots, that represents the heavy rain with the potential to cause flooding. this morning, a very difficult rescue. things could have ended far worse for this man. you see him clinging to the cliff. that happened overnight in san

francisco's sea cliff neighborhood. he was found literally hanging on for dear life in the bitter cold and whipping winds right along the cliffside. a rescue team moved in. they were able to pull him up for that. it migrated to a private beach when the high tide came in. firefighters were able to save him. a person who happens to live nearby in a cliffside home heard his cries for help. >> very grateful. >> again, we know that man started out at baker beach. it's not clear how he ended up exactly where he did. firefighters say he could have been trapped by the high tides. he was in good enough condition to walk to the ambulance to get treatment. we have crews out across the area and we'll have more live reports in just minutes. stay up to date by downloading our free nbc bay area app, a great way to keep up with the

we talked yesterday about how a strong stock market can hurt your mortgage. dow up 59, nasdaq gained 50. sam and laura, a few weeks ago i received a press release that made me do a double take. a venture capital firm was taunting hiring this successful businessman in san francisco, selling his first company to yahoo! for $300 million when he was a teenager. he'd go on to create two more companies. but he's also in a lot of legal trouble. in 2014 he pled guilty to two counts of misdemeanor domestic battery. he was placed on probation when prosecutors say he attacked a second woman. he was sentenced to one year in jail. i was surprised he would get a job offer. i asked the person who hired mr. cha hall if she would answer some of my questions. i had my second surprise. she said yes.

>> i've known him like i said before, i feel quite different from what i read in the press and i'm hearing right now. to me, what you're saying is coming as is surprise, why would i not have him on my board. >> we tried to get more information. the full interview on "press here" sunday after "meet the pres press". >> what i read in the press, she says, in the press you say he's been sentenced to jail, you in the press say he's pleaded guilty. that actually happened. >> that's not fake news. >> that's not fake news. it's not our doing. >> exactly. it happened in the court. he pled guilty to domestic violence charges. >> a controversial plan to dramatically reshape the future of san francisco's parks and outdoor areas. now it's reportedly getting the korean light. >> the planning commission

approved a plan yesterday years in the making. it covered 32 areas including mt. davidson and twin peaks. among other things it would draw tickly trim the number of off-leash dog walking areas. at the same time it would set new guidelines to protect endangered species and eco systems. while conservation groups are ecstatic, dog lovers a little miffed. >> they want more space for their kay lines. 5:48. menlo park recently launched a parking permit problem. downtown businesses want to use shareable placards for their employees instead of non-transferable stickers. the city is saying hold on, at least for now, because 2017 permits have been sold and issued. the leaders are looking into the cost of changing the policy immediately or instead offering share permits at some point down the road. >> in our bay area, we love our lake tahoe. a lot of people heading there over the holidays. you'll need chains.

golden gate bridge, still some wet spots left over. and in ben lomond we had close to six inches. linda mar had over three inches. napa, over three inches there. brentwood, .75 inch while oakland had 1.5. san francisco 1.3 and danville 1.4. san jose, a whole .50 inch of rain. here is a live look outside in oakland. looks like the roads are getting busy. the high reaching only 52 degrees. temperatures holding steady where they are now. tri-valley up to 52. 55 in the north bay. and breezy for the east bay, up to 52 degrees. we will still dealing with some of the breezy winds left behind that weather system that rolled through. in san francisco, expect the winds to continue up to about 23 miles an hour. in the wind forecast it shows it
