intel. no country trades away spies, as the rest would fear they're next." back here in the bay area, take a look at this video of the water gushing out of the anderson reservoir near morgan hill. about 400 cubic feet of water released every second. this is to relieve the pressure on the aging anderson dam. instead of it being collected for groundwater, this will flow all the way to the ocean. officials say there's simply too much water to deal with after this winter's record rainfall. and this is the scene in the mugs river valley where people are parking their cars and boarding their watercraft. in guerneville, the russian river flooded once again. many people here know not to be fooled by this weekend's clear skies. >> we're not out of the forest yet. and it's february. february's wet month. >> we've had enough. we're done. that's it. stop the rain. >> the third time this year that

"today in the bay" got a close-up look at the problem. >> reporter: yes, this isn't the water hazard. this is the 9th hole. in fact, all 18 holes are flooded. in some areas, three to four feet. locals say they've never seen it this bad. too much, too fast. a combination of two inches of rain over the past couple of days combined with water released from the upper san leandro reservoir has turned the redwood canyon golf course into a huge lake. the san leandro creek runs right through here. what is normally a gentle stream has opened up and swallowed this course. >> i do golf here quite often with friends and family in the summertime. this is -- an anomaly.

>> reporter: the golf course since between two reservoirs which they say are both at capacity. they manage the land and tell us their lease agreement with the golf course allows them to flood it if necessary. they're hoping to dry out the course and open by next friday. but east bay says they may need to release more water from the reservoir before the next storm. in castro valley for nbc bay area news. >> wow. aside from that flooding it would be a good day, technically, to go out and play golf. >> we mentioned that it's going be to sunny, but a lot of areas are probably still very muddy. >> yeah. >> you know, after all of that rain, you can only expect to see muddy roads and trails and all of that, but, hey, if you're not wanting to head out to a mountain, at least enjoy the sunshine right here. point arena, looking absolutely subby. look at that beautiful skyline. we will be enjoying a lot of this sunshine through the weekend. half moon bay looking equally stunning thanks to the

this is a road frequently used by both cars and cyclists. look at what's left of it in los gatos hills. just about the biggest collapse we've seen all winter long. 200 feet wide, 50 feet deep. remarkably, no one was injured in the collapse. this morning, there is a threat of a smaller slide just about a half mile away, and we spoke with fred glover, who lives in between the two. >> i don't know what they'll do here. only partially out. they have to figure how to keep it from eroding further. i don't know how they'll manage that. it's going to be an interesting few months. crews say the hillside continues to inch down this morning. caltrans will begin working on solutions on monday. they say they hope more of the road doesn't disappear over the weekend. if you are headed over highway 17, be prepared for closures and delays. parts of the road remain closed following a massive mudslide. yesterday was bumper to bump are

>> yes. in the mail, taped to my door. you know, slid under the door. >> reporter: her landlord served her four different eviction noechts over two years telling her he is to move out because now he wanted to move in. but lee didn't believe him. >> in the middle unit, middle floor, he has no intention of moving in. >> reporter: in san francisco, landlords can legally evict their tenants in they or in some cases their relatives want to move into the home. calmed an owner move-in eviction. recently we exposed a lack of oversight that may have allowed some landlords to abuse the system wrongfully kicking out rent-controlled tenants in order to have new people come in as a much higher rent. what we found, pretty astonishing. we spent six months going door-to-door across san francisco to find out if landlords followed through on moving into the homes where they evicted someone. by law, they have to intend to

live there at least three years. otherwise, the old tenants have a right to move back in at their old rent. we interviews more than 100 people and in 24 cases, nearly one in four of all the evictions we looked into, the landlord, or family member, was not living in the home. an apparent violation of the city's housing laws. >> does anyone actually check in the people that should have moved in are the ones that actually are living there? >> no. we don't check. >> reporter: robert collins, executive director of the san francisco rent word overseeing evictions. back in november he told us his office submits a ran smpl example to the district attorney each month so she can investigate if they're illegally evicting tenants. >> it's doesn't seem to be working? this man is an assistant d.a. saying it's difficult to prove if a landlord actually intended to commit fraud, plus says the random list of e evictions his

office receives each month doesn't actually provide any leads. >> we need to have a reasonable suspicion that a crime is occurring. >> reporter: the whole reason they're giving it to you is so that your team can investigate criminal wrongdoing. >> correct, and we do look into the forms and we do look into this area of the law, and to see what we can do as far as prosecuting cases. >> reporter: can you tell me how many cases you've actually looked into? >> i don't have a number for you, unfortunately. >> reporter: is it possible it's vere zero? >> i wouldn't say that's correct. >> reporter: but you can't tell me what the number is? >> i can't. >> reporter: but he could tell us how many landlords the d.a. office prosecuted for using this kind of eviction to wrongfully kick out of tenants. zero. over the past ten years not a single prosecution. which amazing elizabeth lee since the san francisco rent board actually recommended the d.a.'s office consider taking action against her landlord.

a judge found to be engaged in fraud, intimidation and coercion, taking her landlord to court kept lee in her home but is still left with a mountain of legal bills and the lingering fear that her landlord will try to evict her again. >> reporter: how much have you spent fighting this over the years? >> i'm out $42,000 for sure. used all my savings, so it's been really difficult. >> reporter: elizabeth lee's landlord, martin ing said he'd sit down for an interview and then stopped returning our calls. over the phone told us i'm probably one of the best, honest landlords in san francisco. trying to say i had bad intentions but how did they know if i'm going to move in or not? this is a tenant from hell. she is as nasty as anything. that was the result of our reporting, the san francisco board of supervisors now plans to hold a government hearing on the issue of owner move-in

addictions and this could be widespread abuse. back to you. >> thank you. and to dog owners, who need to be aware that petsmart is recalls great choice dog food because of metal in the food that could be a choking hazard. the adult dog food was sold on petsmart.com, pet360.com, petfood direct.com and in nationwide petsmart retail stores. the best buy date to look for, august 5, 2019. so far no reports of pets hurt by the product. much more ahead on "today in the bay." coming up, taking a close are look at a busy day in san francisco. luckily, it will be sunny for two big annual events that are happening today.
