situation on highway 101 as floodwater consuming the roadway there. pete suratos has been out on scene. let's start out with mike inouye kicking off team coverage with the impact this will have on thousands of people. >> a tough morning for san jose. speed sensors reading clear as you would imagine. green for most of the area. we know about the closure for niles canyon. this happened overnight. highway 101 completely closed in both directions. a live picture. there's no traveling in either direction. this is the 280/680 interchange. heading down to where all the bright lights are there. highway 101 is open to and from this area. back out to the map. we don't know when they will reopen because of all of this

flooding through the area. there is closure here. no estimated time for the reopen. your alternate is moving smoothly 280 and 87. it will make you take the corner instead of cutting the corner. this is the evacuation area for downtown san jose. happy hollow continues to be an issue. that area of 101 is closed. right there you saw there is a lot of water. and pete is actually out there roadway. >> reporter: good morning to you. the roads are empty on 101 south. the roads are flooded. we have seen it the past hour. 10 south in san jose is completely flooded. the water coming up to the guardrail. we have been showing you all morning. traffic being diverted to 880 while they try to figure this out. the big issue, you have the reservoirs and creeks.

officials don't know where this water is going to go. chp told me it wrapped up right when we started our show at 4:00 a.m. they will decide what the next steps will be. chp and caltrans are working together. right now you are seeing the 101 south. it is is completely flooded. we're live in san jose for today in the bay. ? be careful out there. obviously pete is on on the freeway itself. the closed area for highway 101. all the flooding shows up. 280 and 87 as your alternate for

the morning and possibly into the afternoon because of all that flooding. of course we will follow this. back to you. >> mike, thank you very much. we'll check back with you soon. rush to safety yesterday for families and loved ones and pets. people's lives being uprooted. many left wondering if there will be anything to go back to. >> kris sanchez with the details on the families being impacted there. good morning, kris. >> reporter: good morning to you, sam is and laura. a city worker we just saw going from location to location trying to if the water receded. obviously it's not going down fast enough. in the distance you see vehicles still under water. farther back you see a red x.

that's how they are making sure they cleared every place. evacuating 500 families. you have likely see some of the families and pets being evacuated by boat. many folks said they did get some notice that it was going to crest, spill over its banks but they had no idea it would be an evacuation and an emergency. >> you can see people left a long time ago. >> what people are doing is blaming the city. they could have done things much sooner. >> san jose mayor says clearly there was some sort of failure in the system. though the city did notify and so did the water district. they said that is a matter for later. right now this is an emergency. you can't force people to leave. in fact, we have a number of

people who are sleeping right here right next to the floodwaters, which are contaminated. back to the city worker he said his shift usually starts at 7:00. he came to work 4:00 yesterday afternoon. he said he's happy to be here working emergency hours because he is a public servant. >> it is is amaze to go see. are those people sleeping, are they homeless or people who decided not to leave that area? >> no. it appears to me these folks have no where else to go. though there are three shelters open right now. it is is our experience that a lot of times folks don't want to leave. they want to sleep on the street. we are trying to be quiet so they can rest here. they are safe. they are on higher ground near the overhang of the restaurant next door. but, you know, this was a question yesterday. why didn't people force the folks to leave?

they had a technical swift water rescue yesterday. why didn't they force them to leave? you can't force them even if it in their best interest. >> a lot people we are talk building now. kris sanchez, thank you very much. a lot of people have been concerned about their pets as well. san jose animal services center have taken in a lot of pets as well. this is not a rural area that was impacted by the coyote creek. you can see it cuts right through downtown. this is the map of the extended aevacuation order issued overnight. it shows how big the swath is. >> this is a huge and historic plane. bob redell is live in the flood zone with where things stand. bob, we see standing water behind you. good morning. >> reporter: we're at the

sperb intersection of 26th and santa clara. you can get an idea how deep this water is or suspect. cars are able to get through. compared to what we saw 20 minutes ago, i'm wondering if this water is receding just ever so much. just a little bit perhaps. you can see the newspaper stands are a good foot deep of water. a liquor store here. that is not up to the entrance yet. about five hours ago, the city of san jose issued mandatory aoe vac kwraeugs f evacuations for this part of town. we have not seen people evacuating overnight. we saw someone come out of their house. maybe they didn't realize there

were mandatory evacuations. we haven't seen it this morning as we have been driving around. we did speak with one shop owner. unfortunately for him the water did get into his opinions. >> i opened in 1987. i have been here over 30 years. i have never seen the water like this from. in 1998 i think it was when it got flooded downtown, the area, it didn't really come over here. it just went up to the curb. that was it. i've never seen it come inside this before. >> to give you a sense of how significant this flooding is of coyote creek, the area is under mandatory evacuation. it's part of the 100-year flood plan. not only is it the area within that plan, there is an extension of that area by 250 feet. so this is -- i wouldn't say

unpress tented. could be. but definitely highly unusual. significant given the amount of flooding you have in the downtown area. coyote creek is a good half a mile. as you look behind me, san jose police have been posted a couple intersections here at santa clara street. people getting up for their wednesday morning drive. bob redell, today in the bay. >> it is is just is amazing to see. >> simply astounding. bob was talking about the history of this. once in 100 years you would expect to see a floodplain like this. you talk about the fact that

coyote creek never hit this level of flood stage. >> this is above historic records. it has dropped below 11 feet at this point. we are right now going to continue to see this slowly dropping. but the problem is the anderson reservoir that's upstream from this is still at 104% of capacity. so this will continue to spill down into coyote creek. and it will continue to slowly fall. there will be a flood concern the next seven days. now it is is at 10.95 feet. it crested yesterday evening at 13.6. we still will be above flood stag until tomorrow at 11:00 p.m. keeping an eye on this as it has never happened before, and we will see what additional racism does to this and other tributaries coming up. >> thank you very much, kari. 5:11.

12.8 feet setback in 1922. that flood concern is is expected to continue the next seven. good news in sight. we have been seeing that flood level continue to go down. it crested at 13.6 on tuesday. earlier this morning, right before we left, kari and i were looking at the latest models. it looked 11.6. right now it has gone down even below that. current models are showing now 10.95. so we are expecting for the levels to continue to go down. we are monitoring this. we are expect to go see more rain heading into the weekend. this is something to keep a close eye out. for now, i will have the latest update as far as what we can expect the next seven days. and areas that have seen record-breaking crests as well. >> we are talk building how high the reservoirs are.

california assembly shirley weather is pushing legislation that would require every school in the district to outline the duties of their officers. a lack of clear discipline policies can lead to the misuse of officers which can result in kids getting criminal records for what some describe as minor miss behavior. there are more than 16,000 school districts in the country. we have made it easy for you to find information about every one of them. log to to our website to search for districts in your area. you can find out which groups of children are impacted the most. that's at nbcbayarea.com/weinvestigate. thanks so much. if you have a tip for our investigative unit, give us a call 888-996-tips. or send an e-mail to theunit @nbcbayarea.com.
