midnight. crews were still working on it when we passed by. we are trying to get more information from the chp computer assistedthing. so before bear creek road was shut down this morning, two commuters did come down separately, and they told us it was like a war zone. we're going to let you hear coming up at 6:30. kris sanchez, "today in the bay" purchase can be dangerous out there. thank you. more video out of the santa cruz mountains. this from one of our photographers. just shot pictures of large trees down around the mountains and summit road just west of highway 17. in fact, when our photographer was there, there were sparks flying as pg&e working on downed power lines. if you're headed to santa cruz mountains, of course, take your time and be extra cautious. now even though most of the rain has moved on, flooding also remains a concern among other issues. >> "today in the bay's" bob redell is in concord for us this

you have to try to divert. there's downed power lines, trees, rocks, mud and just debris covering the roads. >> as we made our way here to highway 17 this morning, crews were still clearing this mudslide on the freeway just south of los gatos. it came down around midnight. give you an idea how long that cleanup takes. we just saw caltrans crews heading up bear creek road with bulldozers, a sweeper and scrapers. so hopefully that cleanup won't take too long and the roadway will get back to normal. again, the whole roadway is shut down so that cleanup is going it take a minute or so at least. near highway 17, kris sanchez, "today in the bay.." thanks so much, kris. bringing areas back online after having power knocked out during the storm. at one point overnight there were more than 80,000 bay area

the north. as we go into the night, we'll start to see things winding down. we could measure a tenth of an inch for most of the bay area. it could be higher. another half inch possible for the north bay. then for the weekend, we're going to get a chance to dry out. a little sunshine, highs in the low 60s on saturday. another quick moving system will bring some rain on sunday. heading over to mike, do you have an update from bart? >> i do. we talk about earthquake protocol, they slow the trains to make sure the track is okay. track inspection sounds like it's complete with no problems reported. a mode. they did warn us they may have a 20 minute delay for a couple of trains. after that 3.5 quake we're talking about, the second one in two days, the same area around the piedmont hills so we're watching. no weather related delays for slowing the trains, the buses are moving just fine. we're looking over at the rest

of the bay, dealing with wet roads, damp roads. santa cruz, wet, trees down. off summit road, sanborn, watch those area. familiar here, a mudslide. the road index showed you slicker conditions. the speed sensors show you mild slowing through wall net creek as well as east shore. bay bridge, fasttrack lanes backed up but it's a smooth drive through the lower the speeds. back do you have. >> good advice. thanks so much, mike. happening now, the partial government shutdown may be making robocalls worse. there's no one in washington to administer the country's anti-robocall rules. and there's no one to warn americans about possible scams that involve those calls. to make matters worse, if you want to add your number to the no call list or make sure the number is on the list, you're out of luck.
