california. right now the death toll continues to climb after the devastating mudslides swept communities near santa barbara. right now at least 17 people are dead, 28 others are injured. this is as crews clean up the mud and debris left behind. many families still don't know whether their loved ones are alive or dead. 17 people remain missing this morning. 59 homes have been destroyed and another 400 are damaged from the slides. now, this just is the beginning of what is expected to be a very long recovery for those in the community. >> "today in the bay's" anousha rasta has the latest from santa barbara county. >> reporter: good morning. there is still police tape in front of this home that is halfway under the mud, it's in bad shape. if we make our way over here to the left you will see what looks like a white box-shaped object, that's actually the trunk of a car that was pushed up against this wall of debris. >> by night full images of the

much time that virgin american plane had to get out of the way if the aeromexico flight had landed on its runway. >> you are looking at maybe 15, 20 seconds to cover a mile's distance. so it was close, but there was more than enough time. >> the faa is now looking into what happened. there have been two other similar incidents in the past nine months at sfo. >> the u.s. government now considers parts of mexico to be as dangerous as the middle east. officials have issued a travel warning for five mexican states, you can see them listed on your map right there on your screen. this is a level 4 do not travel warning. there have been -- there has been a flare-up in recently in some of the regions of mexico, but some travelers say the new warnings will not stop them. >> they can't really put a stop to what i choose to do. i'm going to go see my family. i'm not putting myself in danger by going. >> some popular tourist destinations are under a level 3

warning, that includes port at that vier at that and mexico city. travelers should reconsider their plans to those places. angry parents will be attending alum rock's special school meeting tonight. they plan to discuss mierg a new lawyer and selling bonds but the district spend something what parents are worried about. as nbc bay area reported last june a state audit found possible fraud and misspending on construction projects that are yet to become a reality. this month a county auditor began helping the district with its finances. coming up on "today in the bay," coastal states outrage after the trump administration exempts florida from ocean drilling, but that was just the beginning. we will tell you what other states are asking for the same treatment and how the west coast states are responding. leaders of some of the top companies in the u.s. including bay area's facebook and apple are taking action when it comes to daca. the way they are supporting d.r.e.a.m.ers.

welcome back - you )re watching today in the bay.

a live look to you. welcome back to you. taking a live look outside this morning from our tri-valley camera on this now thursday morning. looks like everybody is up and about. thanks for joining us for "today in the bay." i'm laura garcia. >> and i'm marcus washington. new this morning we are hear more from oprah as she and so many others are dealing the aftermath of the mudslides in southern california. >> she walked with ellen degeneres on today's episode, listen as oprah describes the night the mudslides started. >> it's 3:47 in the morning, i said, steadman, oh, my god, something is going on. he said, well, can't do anything about that. and i run to the front and i see that it is actually -- the mountain looks like it's on fire. i walked out back, you know, where we share a fenceline and the neighbors out back their houses are gone. just gone. so it is as devastating as it can be. we're going to come together and

we're going to do what great americans do all the time, we're going to help each other. >> yes. >> we're going to help each other out. >> yes, we are. >> good to see the entire episode, it airs at 4:00 p.m. right here on nbc bay area. just the devastation. 17 people killed from those slides. >> we're getting more and more video of it literally coming down. >> when they kept showing yesterday and the day before all the mud coming down and someone goes that's highway 101. i went, wait, what? >> it's almost mind-boggling. >> is it going -- are we still going to see any more of that? >> there's the possibility that there still could be some more movement here. it takes a while for the earth to settle and then there's so much cleanup, it's like where do you even begin. >> from the fires there is a chemical reaction actually in that soil. >> there are a lot of problems they will have to deal with for not only weeks but years to come. we will have a little time to dry out here in between these weather systems, but now with all of that humidity and the moisture left on the ground and

some mostly clear skies in spots, we were seeing patchy dense fog developing, right now at half-moon bay visibility cut down to a half of a mile, quarter mile visibility in napa, that means you can't see that far ahead of your head lights, that means you do need to slow down. we're seeing the patchy fog rolling across parts of the central valley and into the tri-valley as well. and our temperatures are still fairly mild in the low to mid 50s, some 40s in the north bay with our high temperatures today heading into the low 60s. it is going to be a really nice day. more sunshine, east san jose up to 62 degrees, for the east bay expect a high of 60 degrees in walnut creek, we will be up to 58 degrees in oakland and 59 degrees in half-moon day. daly city looking at a high of 56 degrees and 56 also in the mission district. in the north bay up to 59 degrees today in novato, but more clouds there. as you're starting out this morning you get a look out the

window getting dressed it's a good day to make sure you have on a nice warm jacket and light long sleeves for the rest of the day. i will be tracking a chance of spotty showers mainly around santa rosa and farther to the north. that's where we will have a chance of some quick moving showers moving through later on this afternoon and then we go into the next several days with dry weather, we take it into early tuesday morning when we start to see the approach of our next weather system moving in that will bring in a couple of rounds of rain for most of our area, but then by next thursday all of california will be covered by some rain and snow, we will see this as a much more potent system and also bringing in some cooler temperatures which is good for dropping those snow levels. so we are going to have some temperatures in the mid to upper 50s over the next several days in san francisco, once again that rain moves in early on tuesday and continues into wednesday and thursday, and for the inland valleys we are going to have a really nice weekend. look at how warm it gets, into the mid 60s by sunday.

as we head over to mike you have some good news. first of all, we have all these green sensors, but it is 4:48 so it's light traffic right now. we will move from the south of the bay bridge up into north bay where we have -- this is the good news -- 121 reopened yesterday afternoon after that deadly landslide so traffic is reinstated for that portion of napa county. this is the unpleasant issue for many drivers, a lot of fog in the north bay, kari has been talking about this. petaluma over toward vallejo, american canyon, 680 toward the benicia bridge there's fog. the drive times look great, no delays other than you will need to slow if those conditions demand coming down the east shore freeway. we will look at the bay bridge toll plaza camera where we can see that the fog is now creeping in over the last five minutes, we've seen this change. instead of seeing a lot more spider web, we see a lot more clouds coming through the area.

which wi we will track that. more details about that deadly crash in the north bay. investigators say a man was killed after his car was hit by a boulder. police confirmed to us a 22-year-old man was driving by himself on highway 121 in napa county on tuesday night when a boulder crashed into his car sending it down a hillside. this is near kenzo estate winery. the atlas fire in october burned much of that vegetation along highway 121 and the fire scarred the hillside and it likely became destabilized. a follow-up for you on the proposal to increase bridge toll prices in the bay area. this is a live look at the bay bridge toll plaza this morning and that plan just took a major step forward. the transit leaders unanimously recommended putting it before voters in june. that increase would generate an extra $125 million a year that would raise the toll prices to $9 for the bay bridge and 8 bucks for others. governor jerry brown is now

setting his record -- or selling his record setting $132 billion budget plan for the next fiscal year. brown unveiled that plan yesterday. what's in it? $4.6 billion for transportation projects with the money largely coming from the recent 12 cent gas tax. there's also more money for community colleges including $46 million to make first year of college free. brown also wants to add $5 billion to the rainy day fund and bring the total to $13.5 billion. now, we are also learning california has some change to spare, $6.1 billion to be exact. the additional money is coming from you, taxpayers. one republican state senator is introducing a bill to give that money back to taxpayers but it's likely to go nowhere as democrats control the legislature. the primary for the governor's race is in june then the election will be in november. today two republicans in that race will be in the bay area. state assembly member travis

allen from orange county will be in san francisco at noon. the public policy institute of california is hosting the candidate for conversation. allen wants to be tougher on crime and cut taxes. the second republican in the race, businessman john cox will be in san mateo. he is expected to speak at a meeting of local republicans. cox is pro business and wants to put state legislature's budget by a third. coming up next, a museum filled with priceless art has fired a dog for security. not the burglars the dog is looking for. we will show you what that dog is after. still ahead. but first, happening now, a multi-million dollar heist at a luxury ritz hotel in paris, police say that two suspects still on the loose. three were arrested right after the robbery. none of the jewels or other items so far have been recovered. french media estimates the stolen goods to be worth $5.5 million. plus, the indian airline, jet airways, has fired two

pilots after being involved in a midair cockpit fight. officials say that this happened on new year's day when the pilot allegedly slapped his co-pilot. there was during a trip from london to mumbai. you could generate your own energy,

december, the other a few weeks later at calvary chapel. the suspect used the victims' credit cards at local businesses. as package thefts continue to sweep the bay area one police department is helping unite people with their merchandise. these are some of the pictures of the different items recently stolen from various homes. if you think some of the items belong to you, you can visit the san mateo police department's pinterest page. the people of antioch clear what they want city leaders to focus on. the city is releasing results of a recent survey. here is what people are saying the most serious problems are. 71% say crime, 65% say both gangs and youth violence along with homelessness are big problems and neither 60% are concerned with the empty downtown area. more than 100,000 people live in contra costa count gee. boston's museum of fine arts

has a lot of priceless art so the museum has actually hired a puppy to protect them. >> not from burglars but from bugs and insects. meet riley, the 12 week old puppy, he will spend the next year training. he is a while rander who has a great sense of smell. the museum says there has been an ongoing problem with pests and infestations affecting the artwork. riley will spend most of his time behind the scenes. he's getting paid in treats and toys. >> that's a pretty dog. coming up on "today in the bay," a look at what's going on weather wise, a nice warm one today. >> it's warm and we have a blanket of fog across parts of the bay area as we take a live look outside in san francisco you can see it right there hovering at about 1,000 feet. as we go through the day that frog gradually clears, we will get some sunshine this afternoon. we will take a look at the rest of the bay area and into the weekend, that's coming up next.

and your live look here, fremont, a clear flow on the roadways, but there's a little haze in the air. there are low clouds in many patches and fog stuff in other spots. we will show you your morning commute coming up. plus flash floods caught on camera, the amazing video you have to see, the damage left behind. a live look outside at san
