happen. these are images overnight of winds whipping along with the rain there making it difficult for drivers to get where they needed to go. let's get a check of the weather with meteorologist kari hall. good morning. you have been busy. everybody working hard. probably the wettest person out there is rick boon in pacifica. >> good morning. yes, we had such heavy rain earlier this morning. that was when we had the winds just rocking across the bay area with some of the waves of heavy downpours creating low visibility earlier today. as we look at the radar, things are starting to quiet down as the rain shifts to the south and east of the bay area. it was moving fairly quickly. we have heavy rain around the south county area as we are going to see some of the downpours continuing through the next hour or two. then as you head up through the east bay the tri-valley, light showers moving to the east. the north bay, some light rain

around marin, san rafel. seeing spotty showers moving in. as we open up the picture we feel there are clouds well to the west. we'll get a break here for the rest of the morning before we catch the next round of storms moving in. this has the potential to bring severe weather to the bay area. we'll talk about the timeline coming up in a minute. we are keeping an eye on what's happening at the beaches. live from pacifica we have rick boon crashing this morning. is that still happening? >> it is. in fact, more intense with the wind coming in. you look at the pacific ocean here. you get two sets of waves that come. first it is a calm wave and then a really aggressive wave. they come repeatedly about every ten or so seconds.

getting into a little bit more aggressive waves at this point. a lot of water is rushing up over the sea wall going into the pacific ocean here. that's a concern to a lot of people in the area. they want to drive on the road. this may not be a good day to do that. people have tried to check it out. nothing like this. seeing the water and the waves crash at this point it is a normal thing but today is different. these waves are too aggressive. i'm only by this wall. the protected safety area here. to give you an idea hoff how intense they are. this is something people are being wise, not standing close. we want to check out the water. they got soaked this morning. that's a concern along with the waves, the wind coming in. when the water goes across the wall those are concerns. a lot of people are watching

this. it is pretty much wet city here like it always is. today, more wet. er live in pacifica. rick boon for "today in the bay." >> we are just past high tide. going to see the waves and the surf coming down just a little bit. it will be high for the next couple of days. still looking at the waves anywhere from 15 to 20 feet, even once the brunt of the storm passes. that high surf warning continues until 9:00 this morning. once again we have made it past high tide with the surf at 20 to 30 feet. also the risk of rip currents. you definitely don't want to stand too close to the water. this could lead to more coastal erosion. we are keeping an eye on what's happening around the bay area. i will have another look at the radar in a few minutes. >> thank you so much. with the new storm moving in

there is more concern in hollister. 21 people had to be rescued from flooding after a levee broke. >> people in the community holding their breath as the next round of rain comes through. a levee on a creek gave out for a second time in two weeks. it looks like an extension of the first levee break from last week. flooding, parts of san benito county. officials called for mandatory evacuations and people were rescued by boat. 21 rescues. the water is too deep to drive-thru in some areas. it is only expected to get worse later today. many families just now getting back into their homes are being told they should be ready to leave again. >> told them to monitor the storm, be ready to evacuate animals and themselves. that's the priority. >> we did reach out this morning to the san benito emergency management director to find out updates on what the situation is like now. we are waiting to hear back. meantime we should tell you the

county has already asked the governor to declare a state of emergency. >> they do it to help release funding for the cleanup. cars under water, homes under water. it will be expensive. >> yeah. flooding a concern in the south bay now as well. >> chuck coppola has been standing by live at the guadeloupe river in san jose. we know it is not quite at the monitoring stage, the river there. how are conditions outside where you are? >> good morning. we are on the foxworthy bridge overlooking the guadeloupe river near old almedin road. you can see the river below churning along at a good clip. it's been rising a little bit. by that maybe an inch or so. since we have been here this morning. it's still a very long way from the condos on the other side of this very long berm. the trail that runs alongside

the river still isn't covered. there are downed trees and a windy night. we do have pictures of flooding that we were taking overnight. the pictures were taken on highway 9 in montesereno and saratoga. a lot of drives finding standing water. eight to nine inches deep. we can tell you there was a flash flood warning issued until 10:30. also santa cruz. not including skots valley at this point. we are talking a little bit about reservoirs and how up to capacity they are. lexington reservoir now at 100%. the escape valve for that is loss gatos creek. we'll likely see a rise in the

level. we'll check it out later for you. live in san jose. i'm chuck coppola, "today in the bay." >> chuck giving us perspective there from the river. thank you so much. we just learned that state route 37 in nevado between highway 101 and atherton has been closed due to flooding. >> you asked me while chuck was talking why we are just now seeing the water levels coming up though the rain ended. that's the concern here. even after the water moves out we still have drainage into the low lying areas causing flooding. we are watching the river levels as well and the reservoirs. expect it to reach again at the guadeloupe river peaking at 1:00. the russian river should reach the monitor stage by tomorrow morning based on the current rainfall estimates. we are keeping an eye on the napa river downtown that will be close to the monitor stage at 1:00 today. as we mentioned the reservoirs

are over topping the banks. they have been over capacity. the uvas reservoir at 105%. there still may be more rain on the way. we'll take a look at the radar coming up. >> thank you very much. still ahead on "today in the bay," we have all hands on deck tracking the storm that's hitting the bay area. >> rescue crews have been busy along the coastline, monitoring the dangerous conditions there in pacifica. the deadly incidents that have already been reported. z.

==sam/cu== sunday morning. the time is 7:42. as you head out for errands or trying to clean up from the storm, headed to church, the storm is winding down. another storm has the severe potential for this afternoon. we'll talk about the timeline coming up in ten minutes. >> thank you so much. workers in sonoma county having busy after a couple of trees

fell. this is fresh video we received within the last few minutes. look at that. trees spread out. this tree fell on a two-story apartment. a second tree dangling over the highway just west. road crews are working to clear the scenes. >> probably more of the downed trees as the weather continues. dangerous conditions along the coast as well. two people are missing and presumed dead after falling off the rocks into the water at pebble beach. the u.s. coast guard managed to rescue one other person who fell in the water. in pacifica, a paraglider died. he was pulled from the ocean yesterday morning after 11:00. it is unclear how the paraglider ended up in the water. the death is under investigation

this hour. >> all right. much more still to come on "today in the bay." up next, let's get into politics. >> yes. a major showing of unity as thousands of people marched on president trump's first full day in office. we talk with our political analyst. >> and as we head to break a live look now at the radar showing the storm moving across the bay area. breaking news, a sig alert was issued for highway 17. obviously serious conditions in the santa cruz mountains. more information on that after the break.

===vicky/cu=== what a difference 24 hrs makes. good sunday morning. the time iss 7:46. we'll have the potential of severe weather headed into this afternoon. we'll talk about the timeline and what else to expect as more rain moves into the bay area coming up in a few minutes. >> thank you so much. what a difference 24 hours

makes. on friday, hundreds of thousands of people gathered in washington, d.c. to witness the inauguration of president donald trump. yesterday, hundreds of thousands of people gathered there to express contempt for the new president and promote their own goals. larry guersten joins us. how do we explain these events? >> if you didn't know how divided american society was before you know it now. friday this president in the inaugural speech printed to a dark picture of america that focus on inner city crimes ending with the demand that the american carnage stops here and now. yesterday as many or more people gathered for what was called the women's march to claim that the trump administration and congress were on the verge of taking america in the wrong

direction. comparisons of the turn outs of the days are hard to find. but four times as many chartered buses and 50% more metra riders came saturday than friday. the contrast was unreal out of the two events we saw two americas. >> some conflicting reports following both events about the numbers and the data showing what you mentioned in terms of ridership, a higher number yesterday. you didn't have to read what people were holding on the signs to see the differences in the crowd. we are talking about more racial diversity of the crowd yesterday and more women in the march yesterday, of course. can you summarize concerns for the groups? >> no doubt about it. a summary will leave some of the issues out. the most consistent messages focused on the following claims that president trump and congress would harm women and all americans by promoting policies harmful to women's reproductive rights. policies that would set back

minority voting rights. policies that would discriminate against immigrants. the marchers believe all of the human rights issues are now jeopardized by the new trump administration. >> so much of this was washington centric. we saw the incredible video out of our nation's capital. we are also seeing a lot of activity across the nation. particularly right here in the bay area. sam was actually out in the city yesterday talking about some of the children taking part in the demonstrations. >> one step at a time. that's what made this event so unique. although washington was ground zero as we said. women, men. their children, grandparents, all participated throughout the country. seattle, 50,000, los angeles, 750,000. these are only some of the largest cities. >> we saw some of the video from here in the bay area. you have the numbers in for this morning as well.

>> the three major cities. look at san francisco, oakland and san jose. those cities attracted more than 200,000 marchers. smaller bay area cities had events as well. there are always ironies in san francisco. another event, the west coast walk for life, a pro life event also drew 50,000 people for their own march. a little bit of everything in the city that day. that's for sure. clearly political activism was everywhere this weekend. >> some of the city seeing the biggest demonstrations in the history. that was the case in san jose. city leaders said it was the biggest demonstration the say citi has had. your take away from the mass gatherings. apparently the last time we saw a day of action of such enormity was after president nixon's inauguration. >> at that time the marches were relatively small. less than 100,000.

we are talking about different times. much more involved people. but we still leave with questions. for example where were the protesters before the november presidential election. how many of those folks who marched yesterday didn't bother to vote? what indications do we have that these efforts will continue next week, next month, next year. you know, america is famous for people expressing indignation over issues sh abortion rights, police brutality, voting discrimination, you name it. usually the intensity wanes within days of a march. the question is if yesterday's claims will be a movement for the future and the new trump presidency think it will be a momentary outburst. we'll just have to wait and see. time will tell. >> larry, as always, thank you. president trump tweeted already about the march. this time fairly magnanimous

saying this is what the nation's democracy is about. he may not always agree with the message but believes in the right to express it. >> okay. >> larry, thank you. >> we'll see about his opinions toward free speech in media as well as we saw from the first prochb press conference. we are back to the top story. the third of three powerful storms has made its way through the bay area. this is an ongoing process now. we have seen strong winds and heavy rain overnight as we take a live look at the radar. the biggest pockets of rain south now beyond san jose into santa cruz and gilroy. a serious situation in san benito county and hollister. we are keeping track of that. >> yes. kari hall has been working hard. a special two-hour edition giving us a look at the forecast and what's ahead. >> we have a lot ahead through the day. even though a lot of areas as you wake up and look out the window it's really not raining that hard now. we had such heavy rain this

morning, the winds were blasting across the bay area. things are quieting down. this is a live look outside at san jose. still wet streets and in santa rosa getting clearing there. still seeing patches of heavy rain across the south county. that will be clearing out as well. as we get a closer look at parts of the peninsula to the south bay. light showers but still very heavy rain near gilroy at this point. a steady downpour moving through the tri valley with spotty rain for parts of the north bay as the system wraps up there will be another and possibly more potent system later this afternoon with the chance of thunder and lightning or more heavy rain on the areas that are now under a flash flood warning. that continues as well for the sonoma area. that's been reissued and also for santa rosa and peta luma. we'll see a break here. if you are trying to get out
