4:48 am
in the north bay over 24 inches of rain during that time. danville had over 19 1/2 inches of rainfall and san francisco measuring over 16 inches of rain. redwood city over 14 inches and the south bay had anywhere from 4 to 15 inches of rain, all of that was about three to five times our average january rainfall. and now we are getting a chance to not have to use those windshield wipers unless the car in front of you kicks up water and then you have to turn them on. looking at sunshine today. temperatures remaining cool. in the 40s this morning so it will be a chilly start. as we go into today we'll reach up to 55 degrees in gilroy and 55 in cupertino. east bay temperatures reaching 55 in haywood as well as walnut creek and then for san mateo
4:49 am

4:52 am
two ways. first, car insurance. the insurance information institute says pothole damage is usually covered provided you have collision coverage. your deductible will apply. and that's usually $500 to $1,000. but you might be able to get that back. if you have minor damage, say $100 or $200 worth, your insurance might not kick in. progressive says in many instances it doesn't make sense to file a claim. one thing that might make sense is seeking reimbursement from the agency that maintains the road. all these drivers hit the same pothole on 101. caltrans maintains 101 so they could theoretically all file a claim with caltrans to get paid in full or reimbursed their deductible. download form ld-0274 from the caltrans website. it's only two pages long and basic fields to fill out what happened where and when. it asks you how much the pothole damage cost you. this is important. caltrans wants either two written estimates or one paid

receipt. when done with the form, sign it and mail it. for the bay area that's district four. don't wait. your deadline to file a claim is six months after the incident. 4:52 right now. one bay area teen stepping up to help others cope with mental struggles. >> it's important you meet someone that's like you so you can help each other through hard times. >> the positive changes she hopes to bring to kids across the country whose families have been affected by cancer. and happening now, mountain view is working to help try to keep those people in their homes. everyone in the bay area who is trying to make it in the bay. a month long discussion aimed at keeping people in their homes. mountain view is one of several bay area cities building new developments increasing the need of more housing.
