>> something good to watch on the rainy days probably. >> netflix and snuggle. >> we will have that for today. yeah. we've been looking for things to do inside and i think today it will be another one of those days as we're seeing the rain just pouring down for parts of the bay area. the atmospheric river has stalled over parts of the peninsula and south bay and the east bay. where we see it is raining really hard in sunnyvale, san jose, freemont and milpitas and into the rest of the east bay where it's really starting to pick up in dublin and san ramon over to pleasanton and livermore and will get heavier in pittsburgh and antioch over towards brentwood. we've seen the alignment of this atmospheric river bringing rain for south of san francisco but this will slowly continue to roll to the north but may take a while because it's moving so slowly and we have a lot more of

that energy with us for today. if you're homeschooling in santa rosa, it's going to be an indoor home schooling day for recess. we've been looking for online videos and things to do for recess and you will have to do that today. even a chance of some thunderstorms by this afternoon and it's also going to be very chilly throughout. as we go through this forecast we're going to see the radar filling in some more showing more widespread rain after late this morning into the afternoon. with some of the downpours we see, it could possibly bring in the potential of some small hail, some thunderstorms, some gusty winds and then it starts to wind down heading into late tonight into early tomorrow as this storm system finally moves out of the bay area,g much need. and we head over to you, mike, there's parts of the bay area that has standing water on the roadways. >> lots of reports of roadway

flooding in the outer lanes and watch the off ramps as well. i got a call from one of our friends telling me there's a crash south 680 at durham and another one just south of there, so two crashes in the last few minutes down through sunol out of pleasanton. we're talking about north of there for the breaking news from the chp saying we have one lane open now, westbound 580, an earlier crash at the dublin interchange that will bog you down out of the altamont pass. another concern is vassco because it's dark and rainy. the blue means ponding and put puddling is likely. >> bought something from a company that's not shipping to you. i'm chris chmura. how to get your money back and possibly make a federal case out of it. that's next. our team is always on social media and with the rainy weather

. when the federal government took action many old-school

catalog and phone orders were going nowhere. it doesn't matter whether it's 1975 or today, one consumer friendly rule applies. behold, subsection 435 of the 16th code of federal regulations known as the federal trade commission's mail, internet or telephone order merchandise rule. despite the jargon, it's pretty simple it says businesses must ship within their advertised frame and if they don't you get a refund. the seller can ask for a time extension but if you say no, you get a refund. if a business doesn't advertise a shipping window it's 30 days. if they don't ship within 30 days you get a refund. if your e-mail doesn't prompt action file an official complaint with the fcc online. feeling that '70s vibe you can call them toll free, the number is 877-ftc-help. >> all right. you have to see this, six

lucky drivers in oregon got the vaccine in the middle of a snowstorm. workers were driving back from a vaccination site when they got stuck in the snow with hours left until the vaccines were going to expire. they went car to car and gave out the extra doses. an ambulance crew was nearby just in case and one of the drivers was a sheriff's office employee who missed their appointment at the vaccination site. i bet it was because of the snow. coming up next, the top stories that we're following today including ready to reopen as more san francisco restaurants plan to resume outdoor dining today they will be up against cold and wet conditions. we'll have a live report on the steps that many are taking. another look at the radar which is lit up right now as that storm is moving all across the bay area. meteorologist kari hall is timing out our forecast and breaking down how much rain we've already gotten and telling us which window we have to go walk the dog.

we'll be right back. another

soggy start. here's a live look at our radar. the rain far from over that includes some pretty wet conditions for early morning commuters. the rain is causing a muddy and dangerous mess to the south. crews from the bay area are on scene helping after mudslides damaged homes and injured two in

monterey county. it's going to be a wait and see what the weather is like. >> proceeding with caution, more local restaurants are getting the green light to reopen today, but will all this wet weather get in their way. "today in the bay" continues right now. >> good thursday morning to you. thank you so much for joining us. i'm laura garcia. >> i'm kris sanchez. i'm here for marcus washington. mike is here as well. but we want to start with meteorologist kari hall who is timing all of that rain for us. >> some of us are getting rain right now and areas south of san francisco still waiting on it and getting a chance for the rain to soak in. this is such a very heavy downpour we're seeing for the peninsula and south bay to the east bay where it's bright red. storm ranger showing us the rain is intense and visibility may be low and moving towards the tri-valley and san ramon but we can see the surge of the

atmospheric river targeting certain areas and we'll see more of it as we go into today. we'll go through the timeline and talk about more of how much rain you can see coming up in few minutes. mike, it's been really treacherous for parts of the bay area. >> yeah big warning for slippery roads where you show the rain we'll show that again but i want to show you dublin and the dublin interchange because of the crash west 580 leaves one lane open that's the breaking news here as you're traveling towards 680 on 580, bogged down. we're looking at that roadway and you can work around that getting to 84 accounting down towards sunol. a couple more crashes from freemont heading into the south bay. the blue highlighting that translated to ponding and puddling around there. the scattered crashes south of there. i'll call out the big ones and this radar that kari has. more rain coming into the south

bay for sure. back to you. >> all right. thank you, mike. new this morning, major flooding in monterey county stalled cars on 101 that will make the traffic report. video between salinas and gonzalez. the cars stalled in high water both directions were shut down because of flooding. the chp tells us south bay 101 has reopened. and the slide danger is have he real this morning. bay area based emergency responders are in monterey county helping with all of this. this is a mudslide in a burn zone that damaged homes and buildings there. the drama played out in south salinas. two people were injured as they tried to escape the wall of mud. dozens of horses had to be rescued and two dozen homes and barns were damaged road. firefighters went late into the night sandbagging to try to divert the water from the home of the path of a slide and the

property owner says he dug a trench which he thinks helped avoid the worse of it. >> i don't know if it saved the house but sure probably saved a lot of damage. this is the most water i've seen come confirmed to us that the north bay direction of 101 near gonzalez is still closed because of all that flooding. happening today the flash flood watch in effect in the santa cruz mountains as well. thousands of people in the burn zone area have been warned or ordered to leave their homes. san lorenzo valley high school is the only evacuation site in the santa cruz mountains. some had to sleep in their cars or motor homes if they had them staying outside due to covid restrictions. >> we were evacuated for almost three weeks weeks back in september for the cz fire. that's the cause of this whole thing. so, you know, for a few nights

living in a hotel, it's okay. >> utility crews are scouring the burn zone as well, all in the area where that czu fire ripped through last summer leaving areas prone to mudslides. pg&e crews are working to restore power. this is a live look at the outage map right now. at this point only about 3,000 customers are left in the dark. about half in san francisco. pg&e says more than 500,000 customers across the entire service area lost power at some point during this storm. joining us live right now is tamar from pg&e. thanks so much for taking the time out to talk to us this morning. >> good morning. >> well, so this storm system is, it's been a big juicy one. certainly not over yet. it certainly had an impact on pg&e customers. you expect that to continue? what's the hardest thing they've been up against? >> well, we definitely have

challenges, things like access issues, in some parts of the state snow and fallen trees. we are seeing the storm as one of the largest that we've seen in our service area in several years. we saw gusts of up to 80 miles per hour in the bay area. this has been a doozy. >> so many in the bay area are lucky enough to have their lights on. other parts of the state don't. talk about the process pg&e had to go through ahead of this storm to try to prepare. we knew this one was coming and did it work? >> absolutely. we had a plan in place. we wanted for our customers to have a plan as well to be we ham tracking this well in advance so we can figure out just where we're going to need our crews, how many crews we're going to need, all those logistics. we have our storm tracking models where we gather data from

previous years, but we have a sense of where these outages are going to hit. all of that makes a huge difference when preparing for a storm like this. i can tell you at this time we have about 1500 customers out -- >> go ahead. >> sorry. i was going to say we have about 1500 customers out in the bay area at this time. >> and that's a great improvement because yesterday morning it was in the 35, 36,000 and then i saw reduced to 27,000. that's a pretty good turnaround that you've created so far. >> we have made significant progress especially here in the bay area we're seeing really great numbers. this is all hands on deck. everybody is a part of this effort. you're going to see lots of blue trucks out there and we're going to continue working safely until every single customer is fully restored. >> all right. tamar, thank so much for joining us. we know it's a very busy time for you. >> thank you.

restaurant owners across san francisco, boy, they're certainly rejoigs this morning. today, outdoor dining resumes after nearly two months of takeout and delivery only. >> it's been a rough go. "today in the bay's" cierra johnson looking at what it could mean. >> good morning. if you've driven around the city or taken a walk in your neighborhood you may have noticed they've been sitting empty for a matter of weeks but today they can be filled with visitors because the outdoor dining reopens in san francisco. it isn't just restaurants that are able to reopen, personal care businesses like salons, outdoor wineries and zoos are able to reopen today. bars, indoor gyms, museums, movie theaters are still closed because we're still under the purple tier classification so

last night many business owners spent the evening restocking and cleaning out the parkets and calling back staff that haven't had a chance to work for the last couple months. >> we have some people on standby that are hurting and we want to get them back to work. we're going to call them and bring them in. >> reporter: it is important to note that that 10:00 p.m. curfew will still stand for those restaurants and businesses so no late night dining for those wanting to head out this week. something else that we've been talking about these businesses are battling head on is that weather. a lot of business owners we spoke with said yeah, the weather will be an obstacle. some have coverings over their par kets, but they're excited to have the next step to provide some type of service to get some of their employees a couple hours, even if it is drizzly. >> cierra johnson for "today in the bay." >> we think about the impact on the restaurants and families as well. new data shows the lasting

impact of this pandemic. this line graph compares the number of dmetsz california between 2017 and 2020. about 111 more people per day died last year compared to previous years experts tell the mercury news the real number of deaths from covid-19 is likely far higher when you include people who avoided being treated for other issues because of the concerns about covid exposure. it is 5:40 right now. the company that owns san jose's good samaritan hospital is tee nag reports anyone was dismin plined in the wake of the recent covid vaccine there. the facility is no longer obtaining vaccines because it broke protocol when it vaccinated teachers and staff. a new company statement contradicts the hospital which said an executive was punished in some way. the hospital's spokeswoman who

made the initial statement tells "the mercury news" it was a miscommunication. turning back to our storm coverage this morning, all this week storm ranger is getting put to the test tracking a lot of rain out there. on top of san bruno mountain scanning the skies and this is what it gives us. a live look at our radar. certainly all lit up once again this morning. you can see the hot spots there. meteorologist kari hall timing the all out for us. pretty big juicy storm. let's check in with kari and we're still not getting a break today. >> right. something like storm ranger really needed and some of these low storms that move through the bay area and so we're seeing it in parts of the north bay really drying ou heavy. take a look at how much rain we've measured in the santa cruz mountains. over 8 inches of snow or not snow at this point, it's 8 inches of rain. it sounds like a snow total. we're going to see really heavy

rain continuing especially across the santa cruz mountains into the south bay. we'll continue to add up on these rainfall totals for today. we'll talk about that coming up in a few minutes. what's going on for the commute? >> kari, i'm trying to track down the details on three dozens incidents in the chp report, many are spinouts. we'll take a look at the dublin interchange camera, a camera facing the dublin interchange. the taillights away from us are slowing to 580, just underneath that dublin interchange. the map shows you what we're talking about. chp is giving us an alert for the breaking news in the rainy, wet, slippery area. a number of other crashes south on 60. even if you avoid that backup taking 84, there is a crash through sunol, and mission, and we're looking at scattered incident s for the south bay as well. the live look at the camera at 101 north bay and we see traffic

starting to bog down not because of a crash but because of the burst of traffic and those wet roads. 5:42. vaccine chasers, still ahead, the dramatic lengths some in so cal are going to try to try to get their hands on covid shots. president biden set to issue more executive orders leading some to ask why so many? you're watching "today in the bay."

right now at 5:45, we are still under a microclimate weather alert from the east bay down to the peninsula and the south bay. we'll talk about when it reaches the north bay and what's ahead for the day coming up in a few minutes. and it has had its effect on the roads through dublin. the dublin interchange a crash, multiple lanes blocked. we're waiting for three tow trucks from what i understand. while we track that i want to show you the bay bridge toll plaza. we haven't shown much of this because it's calm but more activity to the south bay. back to you. >> thank you very much. we have breaking news. new economic reports are out in domestic product grew by 4% in the final quarter of 2020, slightly below estimates of 4.3%.

analysts say the economy shrank in 2020 for the first time since the recession triggered by the mortgage meltdown. weekly job numbers are in. last week about 850,000 americans filed first-time jobless claims. president biden will sign more executive orders today designed to give more people access to health care. >> scott mcgrew says this is one of the things he's going to sign in this week as first as president, boy, tongue tied there. >> he's really signed a lot of them, kris, many, many. good morning to you. today's order will reopen the enrollment window for people to sign up for the affordable care act. the white house says this will help people who have lost their jobs in the pandemic now. there's always a way to enroll insurance outside the window if you have extenuating circumstances. it's one of a slew of executive orders biden is signing. he side rules to strengthen

rules on the environment and canceled construction of the keystone pipeline. this has led some critics to say why so many executive orders? the answer is executive orders are the way you cancel the last guy's executive orders. so he issing to to trump's orders what trump did to obama. making laws, eos are easy to overturn. laws are much harder. biden can do that and he has a friendly congress, but so could have trump. he had a republican congress for the first two years of his presidency. the editorial board of the "new york times" usually quite pro-biden says ease up on the executive actions, joe. apparently so close to the president they call him "joe." quote, executive orders create a whipsaw effect that creates instability and uncertainty. there's always a presidential

election a few years off threatening to up end everything. we're seeing the effect of donald trump's resistance to the transition. the head of the cdc says they're not clear how many vaccine doses are out there and still trying to find the reports. now listen to the brand new secretary of state talking about afghanistan explaining he's still trying to figure out what happened under mike pompeo. >> with regard to afghanistan, one of the things that we need to understand is, exactly what is in the agreements that were reached between the united states and the taliban to make sure we fully understand the commitments the taliban has made and any commitments we've made. >> in impeachment news a new push to stop the impeachment trial in favor of censure instead. some democrats want to lengthen the time of impeachment to bring new evidence about the president's complicity but senator whitehouse points the cause of the impeachment was on live television.

if you don't know what happened that day, he told colleagues you haven't been paying i know you are too. find me @scottmcgrew. >> thanks so much. it's 5:49. an investigation is under way in southern california after an orange county health care worker died days after receiving his second dose of the covid vaccine. according to the "orange county register" the x-ray technician did experience an adverse effect to the pfizer vaccine. the sheriff's office is still investigating the official cause of death. an answer will take months. everyone to get vaccinated. health leaders in the meantime say a man died last week several hours after getting injected with the vaccine as well, however the official cause of death has not been determined. some people under the age of 65 with no realistic chance of being vaccinated for months are still on a mission to overcome

spots. we've seen on storm ranger the rain south of san francisco and it's been dumping down in parts of the of the peninsula, the east bay, to the south bay. we've seen this steady stream of moisture and continuing to add up on those rainfall totals where we see the heavy rain pouring in sunnyvale, milpitas and freemont, moving over to the east bay. take a look at the wider view, we can see the targetd areas which is typical in an atmospheric river because it's not that wide and so it just basically streams. a narrow band of low-level moisture moving inland and some areas get rain and other areas get extreme amounts of rain. take a look at some of the rainfall totals we've had because of the low lying nature of an atmospheric river once it hits our coastal mountains it rings out the moisture and we've seen over 8 inches of rain in

the santa cruz mountains. morgan hill, over 4 inches of rain there, that's pretty extraordinary. looking at mt. diablo 3 inches, in danville an inch and a half. we've seen most of the rest of the bay area getting 1 to 2 inches of rain even in san jose. starting to add up on the rainfall totals. over an inch and a half there. it's still raining and we're going to get more today. it does become more scattered as we go into late morning as well as the afternoon. as it does so, it may have enough energy to produce thunderstorms later today and times of heavy rain we could see moving through until early tomorrow morning and then it gradually clears out for tomorrow afternoon. if you are planning to head to the sierra you may get a window of travel for late tomorrow into early saturday, but there's only five lifts open today at squall valley and alpine meadows.

all of the snow coming that way. what's going on with the commute, mike? >> kari, i'm looking at the live cameras, rain across a lot of the south bay and east bay cameras but we're looking at this one here. full screen, west 580 the taillights jammed from our camera all the way to the dublin interchange. the map will talk about the crash there with only the left lane open. the exit lanes are on the right the dublin interchange for 680 and folks are able to get by a confusing situation. tow trucks trying to get there. we are waiting for three trucks and bob is heading out to cover some of the backup. as folks get past that they're trying get through the dublin grade where it slows because of a crash on the other side of the freeway. that is what's going on for 580. look at 680, the scattered crash from sunol to freemont. couple slower spots to auto mall and mission. look at the south bay where we have a bunch of crashes, smaller crashes throughout and a lot of

slowing for 87 north possible flooding, 280 and 101. back to you. >> thank you, mike. happening now, here in the bay area we're not the only ones dealing with severe winter weather. in washington state there was a landslide that blocked the only way in and out of an indian nation village. geologists estimate that that slide is 300 feet long and up to 90 feet high. about 1,000 people live there and hundreds more commute into and out of the village. a state of emergency is now in effect. there's a lot more ahead on "today in the bay" including a push to get more people of color vaccinated in one south bay community. a new vaccination site that is opening today. we'll tell you how it all works. 5:57, you're watching "today in the bay."
