conditions are all that bad but except for the merge in california, i don't think we have a road that's not broken in the state. >> it is crazy out there, you can't ooereven see. you got to drive slower. >> reporter: any time we have this weather especially during the morning commute, chp waalwa reminds us you want to watch the speed between the driver in front of you. the speed limit that says 65 miles per hour, that's not the speed you should be driving. that's the fastest uyou are allowed to go as conditions permit. these roads are wet and slick and crowded as we get here on our morning tuesday kmicommute. bob redell. reporting live here. thank you, bob. the north bay is getting hit the hardest. here is a live look at flooding that's happening on river road near santa rosa, it is south of

he goes onto believe and must believe the substance of what he's saying is okay. maybe a ceo can get away with this, say this is a mistake, we'll do it again. musk promised he would not do it again and earlier said this about the sec on "60-minutes." >> look at you. >> i want to be clear, i do not respects the sec. i do not respect them. >> the other thing to watch them. fed chairman jerome powell is expected to testify in front of congress. he's briefing lawmakers on the economy. it could get heated as democrats are asking, as president trump is putting pressure under him. president trump is telling powell to stop raising rates even though he does not have the power to. all of a sudden the fed started
