fault. only on 5, a new theory in what's causing homes to slide downhill. ,,,,,,,,

they touched down in the bay area. the super bowl 50 teams gearing up for the game just one week away. >> but first, wild weather. wind knocking over trees leaving a mess. and hail pelting parts of the bay area. good evening, i'm brian hackney. >> and i'm juliette goodrich. let's start with christin ayers live in redwood city tonight where a toppled tree is causing big problems. >> problems that really don't get much bigger than this. you can see how big that tree is. you can barely see the home behind it. and a wheelchair-bound man who lives here can't even get to his front door. >> reporter: a powerful gust of wind ripped through this redwood city neighborhood around 3:00 this afternoon, uprooting a

massive tree and knocking down a power line. >> then the tree just came down slowly and then it just fell on top of my step dad's truck. >> reporter: on to the truck and right smack in the middle of this front yard on hamilton avenue, making it nearly impossible for the people who live here to get in or out without climbing a fence. >> my brother is handicap and he can't get inside. >> reporter: when we spoke to her brother, jose, he had been stranded outside his home for four hours. >> i wanted to go inside because it's kind of cold. >> reporter: tonight he'll stay with relatives till a crew can clean up the mess. this wasn't the only tree brought down in the blustery weather. in san francisco's west portal neighborhood, firefighters were working to clear branches after a tree hit the ground so hard the sidewalk buckled under the weight. another tree not far away came crashing down right between a couple of cars. and back in red could city, this family will be stuck waiting overnight for someone to clear the tree. >> yeep, it's good that nobody got hurt but it's just

unfortunate because we're locked out of our house. >> pg&e just left a few minutes ago. they managed to get power up and going in this neighborhood. as far as the tree and when it will be removed, it was actually on private property when it fell. that means firefighters couldn't remove it. he said he's going to try to get someone to fix it tomorrow. the same storm system bringing our strong winds is proving deadly in southern california. a woman died near san diego when the winds knocked a massive tree on to four cars. she was driving by when it happened. and high winds were also to blame for a scaffolding collapse in san diego. it happened outside a 10-story building. the scaffolding crashed in to the street, damaging several cars and motorcycles. another part of the storm, hail. check this out. hail coming down in vacaville this afternoon. a viewer sent us this video he took outside of a starbucks. napa got a dusting

of hail as well. the wind whipped trees around while the wind accumulated on the grounds. it also hailed in pleasanton. roberta gonzalez captured the small pellets bouncing on this trampoline. the southland storm took a backhand flap at the bay area. wrap around moisture triggered showers and snow and wind. gusts were clocked at over 50 miles per hour at ocean beach. most other spots were in the 40-mile-per-hour range. that's why wind advisories were posted throughout the bay area tonight. those wind advisories in effect. they'll ease up tomorrow but there is more rain on the way. we'll detail that when we cover the forecast in a few minutes. tonight we've learned a leaky water pipe may be to blame for a crumbling hillside in san francisco. it's left multimillion-dollar homes on the brink of collapse for days. engineers bring a water main break on casitas avenue may have caused the land to shift.

a home was so unstable it had to be demolished. homeowners say it appears there have been signs of a leak for at least the last month. >> we know from the neighbors down the hill that they've been experiencing water in their garages for the past month and that was all new within a month. >> tonight the pipe is capped. the public utility commission is still investigating. officials say it's too early to know yet whether the leak was direct ly responsible for the shifting hillside. counting down to the biggest game of the year. super bowl 50 is less than a week away. >> the two teams that will battle it out are in the bay area right now. the denver broncos and carolina panthers touching down earlier today. >> and tonight santa clara kicked off its celebration, ready to host the big game at levi's stadium. >> kpix 5 maria medina is at levi's stadium tonight. she says the teams are already making themselves at home. >> the crowds are out at the

hotels today and if you're a broncos fan, you got to see your team. if you're a panthers fan or the media, we weren't so lucky. >> reporter: it's the moment these diehard panthers fans waited for since learning their team made it to the super bowl. getting to greet the players as they arrived at the san jose marriott. >> just to see them come through and let them know they're welcome here in san jose and tell them keep pounding. let's win this thing. >> reporter: meanwhile at the santa clara marriott, diehard broncos fans also stood outside, some waiting for hours, like the garcia twins of san jose. >> finally see them and wave and say go broncos, that will make our day. >> reporter: the teams finally touched down at san jose international airport an hour apart. first the broncos who arrived to this warm welcome to the bay area. [ cheering ] >> it was a wonderful experience seeing the players come off the bus. it was worth the wait. >> reporter: an unforgettable experience for the crowd. but for panthers fans, they later

learned police snuck them in to the hotel the back way, leaving them waiting and wondering in the cold. still with exactly one week till the big game, they all know they can still get the chance to run in to the players who they hope will come out of their hotels and enjoy the south bay. >> we are both from north carolina so we have been huge fans for a long time and it's exciting they're in our hometown now. >> if i don't see them right at this second i know i'll see them because i live around the corner. so i'll catch some flavor. >> she'll catch some flavor. so the teams do plan to stay a day after the super bowl. even though the crowds didn't get to see the panthers as they arrived at the hotel, take a look at this video. some lucky fans got to see some of the players as they were leaving the san jose marriott a couple hours ago enjoying a night out in the town here in san jose. that's wide receiver devon signing some autographs. if you're lucky, you'll get other see some of the

the fun, mc-ing the celebration in concert. the super bowl is the biggest sporting event in the world and it's shining a bright spotlight on the host city of santa clara. fans say they're basking in the attention that comes with the big game. >> i think it's fantastic. i live like a mile from the stadium and a lot of people are bothered by it but for me i think it gives people jobs. >> reporter: the celebration reached a crescendo with a fireworks display which lit up the sky a short distance from the stadium which fans hope will mirror the fireworks on the field next week. >> of course i'm excited. this is an opportunity for our bay area to be spotlight. >> reporter: at mission college in santa clara, devin fehely, kpix 5. >> chopper 5 was over the vip venue that's been built in the levi's stadium parking lot. it's just to the north of the entry gate. the venue will host several exclusive events prior to the game and on super bowl
