finally here. thanks for joining us here on "today in the bay." i'm laura garcia. >> and i'm marcus washington. we'll get to traffic and weather in a moment. first, though -- >> let's bring in garvin thomas live in south korea this morning -- or tonight there. good evening to you. >> reporter: we've been hard at work while the bay area has been asleep. the first competitions are already under way and we talk to a local athlete who has had to make changes to his uniform because, get this, it was too religious. we'll have that story and much more coming up. right now let's send it back to you. >> i thought he was going to say too tight. >> that's what i thought. it's a good day to get out and exercise. >> i want to show you how cold it is where garvin is. it's really cold this morning, or actually tonight. temperatures in pyeongchang 18

degrees. it's just going to be brutal over the next several days. that's what we'll be watching. keep in mind all of the spectators will be in an open air stadium there over the next several days. here is a look at our highs today in comparison, up to 76 degrees. 70 in san francisco. more on that coming up. mike, you're tracking something on the peninsula. >> it's not a big deal what the report seems to show. highway 92 over at skyline where it meets with highway 35 and heading over to the half moon bay direction westbound. that's where there's some debris reported in lanes there, so that may be an issue leaving 280 and heading to the coast. we're going to note that we'll update you if chp has to close or clear anything. in oakland they still cleared most of the activity at 23rd but the crash may be a distraction on the right shoulder. don't see a lot of slowing there. we have a little bit at the bay

bridge. pretty traditional about now. they should open the cash lanes and then build again over the next 20. right back to you, laura. this is hard to believe but it's been a month, this month, in fact, marks one year since historic flooding hit san jose. remember when this happened? more than 150 victims will file a lawsuit against the city and santa clara county water district. "today in the bay's" kris sanchez joins us live with more on this lawsuit and what the city is now trying to do to prevent this from happening again. >> reporter: you'll remember when we were here last february the water was up to this point and they are not back to normal. nowhere near it. those were the red tagged buildings where firefighters were rescuing people by boat.

it was a shocking sight when firefighters had to rescue those folks by boat. some say they didn't know they were in danger until the water was up to their doorstep. we asked the same question a lot of those folks did which is why weren't they ordered out sooner? why didn't they know they were in danger? the lawyer for those 150 families planned to file that civil complaint against the city of san jose, santa clara county and the water district. that complaint alleges negligence and breach of duty among other things. the mayor conceded almost immediately there was a failure in the system. he outlined some of the changes that have happened in the year since. now they include an improved warning system that includes a system to send text notifications to anyone in the area without signup. if you're just visiting the area, you will get a text

message. expanded training for people who live in the flood prone area so they are not caught off guard again. also enhanced communication with the water district clarifying who is responsible for what. there was a lot of finger pointing on that day last year. the water district made flood improvements including raising the levee height in anderson reservoir which was part of the problem. and there has been an ongoing clearing of coyote creek to improve water flow. it is unclear whether or not all of this addresses what those residents want to hear but we are going to hear from them. they're going to speak publicly. nbc bay area will be there. in san jose, kris sanchez, "today in the bay." 5:04 right now. all new overnight vice president mike pence arrived in south korea. he spent the early morning hours meeting with dignitaries. meantime, the first competition

of the 2018 olympic games already started. >> we're hearing from one bay area man about his fight with olympic officials. >> "today in the bay's" garvin thomas is live. he has to take the bible story off his helmet here. >> reporter: that's right, marcus. one bible story in particular the story of sampson who destroyed the philippine temple when no one thought he had the strength to do it, about doing the impossible and it's what inspired a.j. edelman so much. he put sampson on his skeleton helmet. a.j. had what he called an early mid-life crisis, quit his job at oracle and began a quest to represent israel even though they didn't have a team and he had never done it. years of practice, pain and sacrifice later he qualified for the 2018 games all the while sliding with sampson painted on his helmet. but after arriving here in

pyeongchang, he got a message from the ioc. >> sampson's too biblical so the ioc has rules and regulations on what's allowed on your equipment and those rules and regulations don't apply in normal competition. all my equipment have been sampson. rule 50 prohibits religious imagery. sampson is a biblical character. i understand the decision and respect it. i will remove the imagery that makes sampson sampson. >> reporter: so as you can see edelman is disappointed but it's not something that will keep him from competing. he says he doesn't have a chance at a medal but representing his country is dream enough for him. we have more coming up this morning with more on the vice

president. the vice president has arrived here. he is bringing controversy with him. we'll get into it on what he is saying and what an openly guy figure skater saying. we'll have that story coming up for you later. >> okay. so 5:00 a.m. here. 10:00 p.m. there. we're going to get it all adjusted and worked out. thanks so much, garvin. garvin is posting all about his adventures in south korea on social media. you can follow him on twitter, like his facebook page for a peek behind the scenes including a photo he posted overnight from the biathlon center. >> we're watching. 5:07 for you right now. to washington where the clock is ticking. there's a deadline of midnight tonight for lawmakers to get a deal done on a new budget deal. if that doesn't happen, the government will shut down for the second time in two months. there are hopes this morning that an agreement can be reached. lawmakers are working on a bipartisan deal that would increase military and domestic

funding, wildfire victims, but not all democrats are onboard with this one including house minority leader nancy pelosi. critics say the deal leaves out immigration reform. >> we will remember who was for us and who was against us. >> it doesn't have everything democrats or republicans want but it has a great deal of what the american people want. >> now the senate is expected to vote today. if it passes it would move to the house and hopefully be passed before midnight, the deadline. it is 5:08. canadian prime minister justin trudeau visits san francisco. he's on a four-day tour. this video is his visit to chicago yesterday. he lands at sfo this morning. today he'll meet with jeff bezos and benoff. tomorrow morning he meets with governor jerry brown and gavin newsom. trudeau was sharing the importance of public service during his trip in america. now trudeau's visit got us at "today in the bay" thinking

when was the last time president trump visited the bay area? after becoming president he's yet to visit us in the golden state. he did make a handful of stops in california during his campaign. this is video when he attended the state's gop two years ago. months away from the amgen bike tour. we're expected to learn how san jose will be involved. the sporting event is the largest in california and travels from long beach all the way to sacramento. what's happening today, kari, a great time for the weather. >> we have some warm weather in the forecast. maybe you'll not be going biking but jogging today and right now at 5:09 we're looking at temperatures that will be heading into the low 50s by 6:00 in the morning and then in the mid-60s for noon today. a nice, cool start. also for your drive through the south bay and that commute it's going to be 44 degrees at 7:00

but look at another warm day and windows down letting in some fresh air and temperatures in the 70s today. and, mike, you were checking in on a crash in livermore. >> because we had two vehicles that had to be removed, we'll take you to the tri-valley. the south bay and peninsula all green. no problems. west 580 the slowing is gone but one vehicle reportedly in the center divide. it took one of them over off the shoulder. a smooth drive out of the altamont. slow down to the spring town exit where the crash has some activity. reports of pipes in the roadway. your right two lanes as you travel westbound from richmond to golden gate field, that's the direction where we have reports of the two left lanes with possibly some pipes in the roadway. i hope no one hits them before they check it out. we're watching that area as you come down off the bridge and down to the bay bridge. despite that report of debris in the roadway i don't see any

slowing. 14 minutes to the bay bridge. cash lanes holding on to cars waiting. we'll track that. back to you. >> thank you, mike. 5:11 now. coming up next on "today in the bay," the new push to fight rules on short-term rentals in a popular vacation spot.

their homes instead of downsizing. there are fewer houses available if tech buses were a transportation agency they'd be the seventh largest in the bay area, about the size of cal train. there would be that many people on the roads. >> interesting. a lot of people -- there we go. a lot of people travel up to tahoe from the bay area and the tug of war over short-term rental units in south lake tahoe is heating up. a recent town hall meeting reportedly drew such a massive crowd they had to end the meeting early. full-time residents say the problem is getting out of hand, that despite a new set of rules that took effect in december, residents say tourists and vacationers are leaving behind trash crowding driveways and throwing loud and disruptive parties. now long-term residents are pushing for a ballot measure
