11:00 pm
now at 11:00, the subtropical tap is back. another storm due in tomorrow night with powerful winds of heavy rain. and thousands of people still have not been able to return to their homes as they brace for more rain. >> the second bank in as many days has collapsed, just as the feds make a deal to guarantee silicon valley bank customers get their money back. good evening, i'm brian hackney. >> i'm andrea nakano. we're counting down to the active bay area tomorrow. we're getting a little break from the rain right now. some light showers across the bay area at this hour as we wait for the next storm to arrive. >> and there is still a lot of places that have not fully recovered from the last round of rain. that's what menlo park looked
11:01 pm
like this morning. flooded streets in one neighborhood. and the freeway shut down in both directions in fremont. there is also a mud slide at the overpass. three southbound lanes have since reopened, but the northbound side remains flooded and closed. >> now this all pails in comparison to the situation. schools have been canceled for tomorrow with many neighborhoods still under water. a lot of people are staying in shelters for a second straight night with no timeline on when they can return home. floodwaters are actually still rising in some areas. >> we realized pot roast is spelled wrong there. we'll fix that as da lin shows us a lot of people tonight are staying put. >> reporter: the monterey county sheriff says they have evacuated about 2,000 people since the river broke yesterday. but these are some of the people who refuse to leave. they're surveying the damage and checking on neighbors. >> and if the lights go out, the gas is gone. and that will probably leave.
11:02 pm
>> and everything is still on. >> reporter: 15-year-old carlos and his family live on the second floor of the apartment complex. they're surrounded by water. >> my parents were concerned about me and my siblings. possibly the robbers are getting into the houses. that's what they're mostly concerned about. >> reporter: they said looters are concerned about the last evacuation order in january. carlos like many families in pajaro, his parents are farmworkers with little money. they want to protect the little they have. >> well okay, we have a lot of food. >> reporter: another family that tried to stick it out, decided there was nothing left to protect. 15-year-old angel cudias and his father, juan, got on a sheriff's rescue boat sunday afternoon. >> when we left the house, it goes all the way up to our waist. >> reporter: angel said the water destroyed everything in the house, and three family cars parked outside. >> so we thought the water would go down this morning.
11:03 pm
but this morning, we started to notice it was going more up. it was getting deeper. >> reporter: this is all they have. a few bags of clothes and a few pairs of shoes. even though they lost everything, they still have d, . >> we're glad we got out safely. >> reporter: authorities are urging people to leave since water is still rising. >> looting should not be an issue at this time. and in fact we've actually seen some of the neighbors that are really going out of their way to help people out that are not able to get back in. they're going in and securing people's residences, securing some belongings for people, medications, maybe family heirlooms, things like that. >> reporter: almost every year of pajaro are under water. some streets several feet deep. homes, businesses, and schools submerged. >> surprised and speechless. >> reporter: this isn't the first time the pajaro river levee has failed. this is video from the last time it happened in 1995. two people died when a breach
11:04 pm
left thousands of acres of the pajaro community submerged in water. the flooding caused nearly $100 million in damage back then. a state law passed in 2021 to fund a levee repair project. construction was scheduled to start in 2025. state senator john laird was the leader behind that bill. he spoke to us about the unlucky timing with this year's storms. >> these extreme weather events after a drought are really a function of the changing climate. in many ways, our infrastructure was built for a climate that no longer exists. and this breach of the levy just makes that case. >> reporter: this week's storm is california's tenth of this winter. now let's get a check on our first alert forecast with darren peck to find out when this next batch of rain is going to roll in. darren? >> reporter: we are still dealing with the leftover showers from the system that's been around for the past few days. so that's not it, and it is
11:05 pm
staying with us through much of the rest of tonight and tomorrow morning. we'll probably even still see a few late showers. but in terms of the next storm andrea was asking about, that's tomorrow night. you'll see the difference right here. look at that wall of yellow showing off the coast. so the time frame on this? technically it starts monday night. the real widespread steady rain, the kind of stuff that's going to add to our flood concerns and start putting more water on railways, that's primarily in the early morning hours of tuesday. a little bit later, in fact, than it looked on the prior model runs. but it is still tuesday morning. it has always been a tuesday morning commute issue. now instead of like 3:00 to 6:00 a.m., more like 4:00 to 7:00 a.m. when some of the widespread steady rain will come through. this will change and adjust a little bit. only talking about a couple of hours one way or another. the main takeaways, it will be through tuesday morning. and then by tuesday afternoon, we'll get a little bit of a break. but the amount of rain coming has a flood watch for the entire bay area, and there is a high
11:06 pm
wind warning, and i'll explain what the winds will be like than the last one. we'll see you in a few minutes. back to you. >> thank you, darren. stay with us on cbs news bay area for the latest weather coverage on air and on our website kpix.com. down in san diego, at least eight people were killed when a boat capsized off the shore of blacks beach. coast guard said there were 23 people on board, two small fishing boats. so far they have only confirmed eight deaths. the coast guard suspects human trafficking is involved, but that at this moment, just speculation. >> this is not necessarily people trying to find a better life. this is a part of a transnational criminal organization to smuggle people into the united states. these people are often labor traffic and when they arrived. >> reporter: there has been a dramatic rise in human trafficking in the region since 2017. two surfers are now safe after being stranded in a cove
11:07 pm
at the state beach this afternoon. they say the two men were caught in the rip tide after one of the surf board leashes broke. they eventually made it to shore. but then they were stranded. firefighters were able to pull them back up with a rope, and they are both okay tonight. a small plane crashes in a slew in casterville right by highway 156. forcing the pilot to parachute out of the aircraft. the pilot was the only one on the plane. a resident captured this remarkable video of him coming down. this happened around 3:00 in the afternoon. the pilot landed on the opposite side of the highway where the fire district found him in the field. he was taken to the hospital with a leg injury. >> he was conscious and alert. with a left leg injury. and when he was loaded in the ambulance and taken to the medical center. >> federal agencies are expected to come pick up the debris in the next couple of days and investigate the crash. the bane bridge lights back on briefly tonight after being
11:08 pm
shut off last week. you can see video we recorded earlier tonight on the right hand side of your screen, and a live look at what it looks like now on the left. it was because of a glitch that the lights are not actually back. maybe they could leave the glitch permanently. but a group is just trying to raise the $1 million they need to bring the 50,000 l.e.d. lights permanently. the field of 68 for the ncaa tournament has been selected. st. mary's will be the lone bay area representatives on the men side. with more, here is vern glenn with the madness minute. >> reporter: for the nighttime under head coach randy bennett, the st. mary's team are headed to the ncaa tournament. >> the no. 5, the gales from the west coast conference. >> oh, they were celebrating.
11:09 pm
>> reporter: the gales, a no. 5 for the second straight year. they will play no. 12 virginia commonwealth on friday in albany, new york. a rematch of a 2017 first round matchup run by st. mary's. but this year? they already have some doubters. >> we saw vcu today win a championship. they're not playing around. i think they will beat st. mary's. >> i think you heard that. >> i heard it for sure. he'll remember it after the game when he says so. you know, we'll leave it at that though. we'll leave it at that. >> that's the madness minute, i'm vern glenn. and st. mary's and vcu will tip off at 11:00 on friday. well still ahead tonight at 11:00, groups are starting to cave in and some businesses are shutting down as record snowfall hits the sierra. why there's a push to shut down salmon season despite more rain and snow than we have seen in years. and later, newly minted

academy award winner michelle yeoh delivered a special message to a local group during their oscar watch party tonight.
11:11 pm
11:12 pm
you know these latest systems a little bit warmer than the cold ones that produced all that snow. the rain on top of the heavy snow is causing roofs on southway tahoe roofs giving way. >> caution tape now surrounds this location. the building was evacuated yesterday for the safety of employees and the customers. there is also street flooding and massive pothole concerns throughout the city. the ride into town can get dicey at times for visitors traveling on highway 50. >> it was a little bit of a slush fest at the bottom. at the top, there were decent conditions, but we made it work with some runs in. >> you're pointing out exactly that last week when you were forecasting the fact that we were going to have weather and that these things were the higher snow level and that's what happened? >> yep. and the house is there and they would get snow on the roof. you know, a lot would get melted off. but the snow pack was still cold enough that it absorbed that water. it was good, but bad for roofs.
11:13 pm
that has become a story up there. but l g ready for the xtbout this one from the thursday, friday storm? not a lot, but this one is going to be windier. it's going to be just as impactful as the last one, if not more, but the winds could have a bigger impact this time than they did last time. so i just want to show you why that's going to happen as you watch how quickly the storms develop. we had a pretty common shape as it comes into the coast. that's important. we didn't have that necessarily sitting right off the coast last time. look at the streamlines they put on here to spotlight. that's the area of low pressure that's pulling a lot of this. that's the thing that's reaching into the sub tropics, pulling that atmospheric river and directing it right at us. so we'll get the rain. that's going to be very similar. but what's different is having that area of low pressure so close to us this time. the last one, last thursday and friday was right up here. you know, it kind of did a long reach out in front of it through the atmospheric river right there. that is right there.
11:14 pm
but the areas of low pressure like that, forced the wind to get pulled in quickly. we are so close to it now that we're going to feel that a little bit more. we're basically caught in the middle of the wind rushing over the bay to get pulled into the center of that low. so the winds will be stronger at this time, 50 miles an hour gust to the coast. and a little bit on that time frame to get us into tuesday morning, so we're looking ahead now. it's really monday night and tuesday morning when we feel the biggest impact from this next system. and with 40 to 50 miles an hour gust, the potential is there for some trees to go down. localized power outages. that'll be an impact that will impact a larger percentage of people. so there is a high wind warning, but just stronger word from the national weather service and 50 miles an hour and you can see it is everywhere. you don't have to be on the ridge tops by the way. the ground is so saturated now, where we are right back into being just as vulnerable to down trees that are highly stressed from years of intensive drought. and this really is kind of an
11:15 pm
ideal setupo knock m trees oneact ay, t other part, ol hich h brot ou theod watch. and tre are some parts of the bay that are a little more vulnerable than others. we'll look at that one second. and we will talk about what to be prepared for from that. the primary concern would be street flooding from the majority of us. we've already had street flooding just from the rain that we would have today. and that wasn't even from this system that's going to put down two and a half inches of rain, so we were looking at flooding from oakland today. 580, on friday. in the east bay. so we have already seen widespread issues that pop up sporadically with street flooding. when we get to this point on tuesday morning at 6:00 a.m., we would have already gotten rain for several hours. this is kind of the most watched for the steady rain that it will stay that way until we get past about 11:00, noon, then we'll get a little bit of a break. but by that point, we're dealing with all the water that's left
11:16 pm
up on our roadways. so for those of us who don't live in the mountains near streams or creeks, that is the primary concern from the flood watch. when we look at rainfall totals, there is the friday or i should say the leftover showers through monday morning. but when we add in the monday night and tuesday storm, actually the numbers are much bigger. look at the santa cruz mountains. see the purple spots down there? the santa cruz mountains have a particular vulnerability to storms like this. it has a lot to do with the typography obviously and the geography, and the way the storm is lined up. so i just want to put the santa cruz mountains front and center for a moment. that gorgeous mountain range down on the southern edge is perfectly aligned. so when the winds come in, let's pull in one of the arrows and watch the southwesterly winds go right into the slope. it's oriented just right, but the mountains are able to really maximize the rainfall. so while the rest of us are looking at about, you know, an inch and a half, two inches, there will be another five inches of rain in the santa cruz mountains. so if we just look at the accumulated rainfall map one
11:17 pm
more time. look at the deeper shades of purple down here. it really sticks out like a sore thumb. so we had all those issues from the last atmospheric river. there are plenty of other streams and creeks, if you lived there, you know them, that are vulnerable to overflowing banks. this will be a scenario where it likely happens through tuesday. when you look at the seven-day forecast, we've got a first alert day on tuesday. we saw how the bulk of the rain and the wind kind of lets up by wednesday. so wednesday is not a first alert date from a weather standpoint, but we're going to be dealing with the aftermath on wednesday. both in power outages from down trees and likely the aftermath of some flooding. we'll cover this in great detail over the next 48 hours. for now back to you. >> thank you, darren. after the break, why the pacific salmon fishing season is all dead this year and the ripple effect it's

welcome back. the state salmon industry is in serious jeopardy this year. years of drought have left the low number of fish and fishing is already banned through may. and it's getting ready to shut down even longer. john ramos explains who will be affected and at what cost. >> reporter: the rivers are roaring again, but the affects of years of drought are only now being seen on the salmon population.
11:21 pm
last year 196,000 adult fish were expected to return to the sacramento river to spawn. but only 60,000 showed up. >> and we also kw the number of young salmon in 2022 z was a real low number. that's the number they would use to forecast the abundance of adult salmon in the ocean this year. managers have determined there aren't enough salmon in the ocean right now to comfortably get a return of adult salmon to reproduce in 2023. >> reporter: it is only the second time in history that's happened. the last time was in 2008, 2009 after another period of prolonged drought. but while the salmon decline has taken a few years to happen, the impact on the industry is immediate. jared davis operates the salty lady, a charter boat for sport fishermen. his entire summer has now been wiped out. >> it's devastating. this is more than just an income issue for me. it's inability to
11:22 pm
do what i love. and so you know, on a financial level and persal level, it's devastating. >> reporter: and it is not just fishermen who will be hurting at the outdoor pro shop, about 40% of sales are for salmon fishing. vice president tim eli says the impact will be wide ranging. >> drastic changes, you know, cutbacks. we won't be able to thrive. i have 20 plus employees, you know, i've got to pay and pay a living wage. so cutbacks and ordering less and having less product available. now this affects people who sell fuel ice, boat dealers, boat mechanics. it's far stretching the impact of the close salmon season has. >> reporter: for years, the salmon fishing industry has been locked in a political struggle in sacramento over how much water is being allocated to central valley farmers. even during the drought. it's estimated that 80% of the state's water will go to agriculture, leaving cities and
11:23 pm
fisheries to fight over what's left. >> the agricultural industry will tend to get the lion share of the water while the fish and the fishing industry suffers and takes a backseat. >> reporter: tay had say the drastically reduced salmon should be a wake up call as they want more water to support the ecosystem as well as an increase in state fish hatcheries to bolster the population that could help the salmon rebound, but even under ideal conditions, it would take several years for that to happen. after the break, big new developments in the silicon valley bank closure. what it means for people hoping to get paid on monday.
