economics. a lot of ripple effects coming from this collapse. what is next for the future of banking? >> well, so, the majority of, you know, large banks, there shouldn't be a problem. banks that ha large customasbytht bewas an issue be the -- this decision by this policy actions as other banks that may have a larger fraction of their deposits not insured. with the move essentially, it made almost 100% clear that deposits of any size will be insured moving forward. this should reduce the risk. >> so, we saw first republic bank. they saw their stock fall. should people be worried about their banks and other banks as
3:05 pm
a whole? >> no, they shouldn't. the -- again, the federal government, the fed, fdic made clear that the deposits will be insured and also they have made a line of credit available for these banks so that it allows them essentially to solve the duration and liquidity issues right now. people should stay put and not worry. >> and as a broader whole ould pple be worried about the economy in general? a lot of talk about whether we are in inflation, a recession. is this a red flag to something bigger and broader in the future? >> well, that is a separate issue. so, the signals we are getting from the micro economy shows a strong liberal market. it shows that the economy is probably still expanding. now, are there concerns about
3:06 pm
inflation? yes. is there a concern that raising the interest rates maybe leading some institutions into troubles? that's one of the concerns. but the federal reserve bank, fdic and the government, by opening these line of credit are essentially telling the markets and signaling to all of us, look, your duration problems, they are taken care of. we will keep fighting inflation and we have all the instruments to make sure that the banking system can work in a functional way and so on that side -- so, the two issues for how the macro economy is going and these crisis are disconnected. >> thank you very much. always good information. thank you for joining us. >> thank you. okay. let's head to first alert weather. here is a live look outside at

oakland as the next atmospheric river atmospheric river is set to role in tonight. darren peck is here tracking the storm. a bit of a break this morning. >> there might be a shower or two out there, ryan. it's a break. if i go to first alert doppler, we got a few thunderstorms to the east through the delta. we would look west, i don't anticipate those should be anything too significant. we will watch them. a drop of rain or two really until much later tonight. so, i will bring this ahead to what the main event is and you can see how different this looks. that is tomorrow morning. now, i stopped it in the 8:00 hour because that's kind of when we are in the heart of this thing. but we will have seen the most widespread steady rain begin several hours before this. we can take it back several lock steps in the st ule om 00 a.m. to 8:00 a.m. it's raining solid and widespread. not until we get to this point, about noon, when we see a close of that first phase of the
3:08 pm
storm. the rainiest and windiest part of the storm is coming in that window between 4:00 a.m. and noon. then when we get into the afternoon, even though we get breaks in the rain, the showers will pick up again. this is when the cold front comes through. the second half of the day on tuesday, more scattered showers and maybe a few thunderstorms mixed in. that is a brief overview. we have to talk about rainfall amounts and strong winds, flood advisory, high wind warning. i want you to see all of those in the first alert forecast in a bit. earlier this morning in san rafael, landslides shut down near highway 101. it brought down trees and power lines. pg&e turned off electricity for that part of the neighborhood. it reopened about five hours ago but crews will be on scene to clean up the mess. two people died in the storms in california over the weekend. carter evans reports. >> reporter: entire neighborhoods submerged after heavy rains

3:11 pm
that there aren't enough salmon in the ocean to comfortably get a return of adult salmon to reproduce in 2023. >> reporter: the second time in e latime 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 been wiped out. >> it's devastating. this is more than just an income issue for me. it's inability to do what i love. so, you know, on a financial level and on a personal level, it's devastating. >> reporter: it's not just the fishermen hurting. at the outdoor pro shop, about 40% of sales are for salmon fishing. vice president tim ely says the impact will be wide ranging.
3:12 pm
>> drastic changes. cutbacks. we won't be able to thrive. i have 20 plus employees that i have to pay and pay a , liks deringless and having less product available. this affects people that sell bait, fuel, ice, boat mechanics. this is far stretching. >> 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 goes to agriculture leaving cities and fisheries fighting over what is left. >> the fish and the fishing industry suffers and takes a back seat. >> reporter: the fishermen say the drastically reduced salmon should be a wake-up call. they want more water to support the ecosystem and increase at

3:19 pm
the most widespread. watch what happens when we take it from the 4:00 hour and let it go to the main event. now it's unmistakeable. this is in the 7:00 hour. so, while we noticed the rain in the 4:00 hour, three hours later, it's raining that whole time and now the intensity has picked up on a more widespread scale. this is one of the more active parts of the initial phase of the storm in the 7:00 hour tomorrow through the morning commute. not only for the most widespread steady rain but for some of the strongest wind that -- we will get to the wind in one second. 7:00 a.m. and we will let it go, still in the green until about noon. at this point, once we get to noon, we are kind of out of the first phase where it's the widespread steady rain that accumulates. the bulk of the two inches of rain that this storm has for us comes in that window between 4:00 a.m. and noon with the heaviest of it like 6:00, 7:00, 8:00 in the morning. then in the later afternoon and the second phase comes in.
3:20 pm
it will be this stuff out here, more organized, not nearly as widespread. not nearly as steady nonstop. this will come in briefer bursts of heavier rain, occasional downpours. that goes from the afternoon through the evening. by wednesday we should be done. one important aspect of the storm. we will bring it back to 5:00 a.m. look at the storm with radar you miss it. pull in how the wind will be working within the system, now you see the bull's-eye. look at the counter clockwise spin. that is the area of low pressure that is driving the storm. what is different about this one from the one that we had last thursday is the center of the storm is coming much closer to the bay. that means the intensity of the rain could be higher. but it more importantly means we will feel the wind more because we are so close to the center of the storm. it pulls the air through the bay with that much force to pull it into the center of the low. so, the winds are stronger. the same timeframe for the most
3:21 pm
widespread rain, 8:00 tomorrow, 40 to 50 miles per hour gusts. that's when we will see more downed trees. the high wind warning goes from tonight through wednesday morning, 50 miles per hour gusts, downed trees means power outages. of course there is the flood watch. streams, creeks and rivers, santa cruz mountains need to be on watch for that. so do the mountains in the higher elevations in the north bay. we saw street flooding yesterday. that wasn't even an atmospheric river storm. we had flooding on 880 in oakland. this storm considering how saturated the ground is before it gets here with rainfall totals like that, up to 2 inches is a bigger concern from a flood standpoint than the last one because the ground is more saturated. there is the first alert day for sure. wednesday the storm is gone but we are likely going to be dealing with the implications of the storm on wednesday. power outages and some flooding on streams and creeks and
3:22 pm
possibly still on roadways and places as we go into wednesday morning, certainly considering it will have been raining tuesday into wednesday. a lot is coming our way. we will keep you updated. back to you. still ahead at 3:00, we are celebrating people making a difference in their communities including this lifeguard. how he sprang into action to save a dog. look at that dog in distress.
3:23 pm
3:24 pm
3:25 pm
we like to highlight the bridge builders making a difference in the communities. long beach firefighters were called for reports of a dog running loose at the beach. by the time they got there, he swam out into the ocean and a lifeguard rescued him on a paddle board and brback to the shore. michelle yeoh. >> well, she built a bridge where her future actors and actress win. she won for the film "everything everywhere all at once." this is a watch party in hillsborough. she dedicated the win to her mother who a message at the watch party and celebration. >> i feel so grateful and honored to have your support. i am excited to share this night with all of you. so, let's raise a glass to
3:26 pm
diversity, representation. >> everything, everywhere all at once dominated the night winning seven oscars including best director and best picture. still ahead, skipping the brown bag. the official seal of approval.
