>> it's not it's not fair to people who are doing it right or doing it legal. >> now at 11:00, a gated east bay community, the target of the huge raid. we come along as officers crack down on illegal cannabis grows here in the bay area. grow in the bay area. hello and happy tuesday, i'm sara donchey. cannabis has been legal here in california for over six years. but the world's largest legal cannabis market has been kind of going up in smoke. a large part has to do with the competition from the thriving illegal market. so the state department of cannabis control has been sniffing out illegal grows and then cracking down. this morning our lauren toms saw that firsthand. she was there when they raided four homes in discovery bay. >> reporter: for bill jones, it was just another tuesday. he pulls up to an unsuspecting house in a gated neighborhood. but you would

never guess what was inside. >> this is state law enforcement. we have a search warrant and demand entry. >> it really could be anywhere and could be in your neighborhood and in my neighborhood. >> reporter: an illegal cannabis operation. just one of four buses that the department of control carried out. >> they will probably seize anywhere from 3,000 to 4,000 plants, talking about the square mile here. >> reporter: in law enforcement for nearly three decades. >> i've hired all the officers. and i'm so proud of my people. they work so hard. >> reporter: when you walk in the home, you're hit with the strong scent of cannabis and its own micro climate as the people who tended to this crop closely monitored the environments of the plans. but in doing so created an illegal and hazardous space. >> and there is a sharp contrast between the illegal cannabis

market and the licensed cannabis market, the illegal market has criminal organizations like mexican cartels and chinese triads and other trans national criminal organizations. >> reporter: in the first two stops, officers seized nearly 2,000 plants, totaling about a thousand pounds in marijuana. operations have surged each year up from 62 in it first year to 155 in 2022. in the same time seized more than a billion dollars of illegal cannabis. >> by doing it illegally, you're keeping your costs low by basically mistreating your workers and you're not paying taxes. so it's really, i would boil it down to greed. >> reporter: neighbors didn't want to speak on camera, but they say they are shocked that

such an advanced operation took place in this quiet community. but jones says it isll i othe gal cannaus doin it legal.oe and that's a part of the equation is holding those illegal operators accountable. >> reporter: it was a multi-agency effort to seize and dispose of the illegal plants that jones says sell for top daughter out of state. paired with the chemicals that are used in illegal greenhouse like this, could pose serious health risks, not only to the house's occupants, but to the neighborhood. >> it is really a menace to the community. and they're dumping all those pesticides and fertilizers that are contained in the water into the storm drains. >> reporter: busts like these happen several times a week, jones says, but despite thet forts, he believes it is unlikely he'll stop seeing these

kinds of illegal networks any time soon. so california legalized recreational marijuana of 2016 through proposition 64, but now legal sales are down 8% across the state. and the cost of legal cannabis has been falling. growers are simply producing more than they can sell. in san francisco alone, cannabis sales dropped from $260 million in 2021 to $228 million in 2022, a decline of 12%. nearly two-thirds of local governments in our state won't allow illegal sales, where it is tough in some jurisdictions and that they will require the local governments to opt into recreational cannabis sales. and they are giving up to $20 million in grants to the different cities to help cannabis retailers open up. okay, we are in the middle of another storm that brought showers and strong winds. this time it isn't packing as

much of a punch as some of us expected, at least if we are comparing it to the last storm. it's really windy though in pacifica. we had a crew there earlier who said it was so strong the winds that it was difficult to stand upright. in menlo park, the tree fell, crashing into one of them. the roots lifted off a corner of the garage off the foundation of one of those houses. the homeowner said they were there when it happened. >> it is just a very slow falling. there was no sound. it was like watching an old documentary movie. >> the homeowner says the trees are probably about 100 years old. both homes have been red tagged while local officials make sure they're safe. and oh, this is it. this is what's causing all the problems. the picturesque is a serious situation, but as far as meteorologists go, they love seeing stuff like this, right? >> this is a textbook case of the type of storm system, where the center of it is still here and off the northwest. what we have today is the

leading edge, the cold front, producing the gusty winds and the heavy rainfall rates, but we're not done with the storm system until this is farther down to our south. so we're still going to have that threat of more showers, even some thunderstorms as we head through tomorrow. let's take a look at first alert doppler and on the maps here representing the wind damage and flooding reports that we would have today. a couple dozen of them, which is the fraction for last tuesday's storm and the last tuesday before that, but still, we don't want to see any of these. it will result in localized flooding and more wind damage. we're also tracking the next round of showers making their way onshore in the north bay. this is the pattern we'll see, and the otherandpes

wital hea d which means the potential for more localized flooding. as we get past sunrise tomorrow, the atmosphere will be unstable as they get closer to us. that'll bring in the possibility of thunderstorms as we head through wednesday. they're going to be confined, but there is the threat of localized flooding and also some wind damage from those strongest storms. gusts over 40 miles an hour and the possibility of small hail. we'll watch for any wider spouts that do get closer to shore and that's the lowest threat that we'll be tracking tomorrow with a longer look at futurecast in a few minutes. >> paul, thank you so much. now to the fallout from a terribly tragic and heartbreaking story. there was a vigil tonight for 9-year-old evelyn dieckhaus. police response times to those school shootings have been under scrutiny after the attack last year in uvalde, texas. it took texas officers 70 minutes before they stormed a classroom. in nashville though, new body cam video shows basically the

opposite, officers moving incredibly quickly. we do want to warn you the video is disturbing. >> reporter: police body cam footage inside the covenant school in nashville shows officers closing in on the shooter. >> shots fired. >> reporter: just minutes after entering the building and 14 minutes from the first 911 call. >> we have no evidence that individuals were specifically targeted. >> reporter: authorities say the 28-year-old audrey hale, gaining a access by firing through glass doors. >> she was under doctors care for an emotional disorder. law enforcement knew nothing about the treatment she was receiving. but her parents felt she should not own weapons. >> reporter: before the triage dirk hale sent an ominous message to an old friend on social media. >> when i initially received it, i was -- i did not respond it in

comfort. she alerted authorities, but it was too late. in the end three children and three adults were killed. >> and i spoke to the police chief, the two officers who went in to save the lives. >> reporter: as nashville and the president mourns, renewing congress to pass an assault weapons ban. >> and actress melissa jones hart's kids go to school next to where the school happened. she talked on instagram how they helped rescue several young kids. >> we helped a class of kindergarteners across the busy highway. they were climbing out of the woods, trying to escape a shooter tuation at their

school. >> unbelievably this was her second experience involving a deadly school shooting. 11 years ago, she and her family lived in connecticut close to the sandy hook elementary school shooting. still ahead tonight, a deadly pursuit with an almost unbelievable beginning and ending. the moment the man stole a chp cruiser was caught on camera. high winds keep busting out windows on san francisco's high-rises. we ask an expert why and what can be done to stop that. and also it can be difficult keeping up with all the tsa rules when you fly, so is peanut butter considered offlimits? a big debate online and the tsa weighing in on that. and plus mary j. blige the guest on the tonight show with stephen colbert.

the driver of a

a driver of a stolen police cruiser jumped out while police were chasing him. there is new video showing the moment the car was stolen. it started on the five just outside the santa clarita. it was unlocked. he had crashed the other car he was in on the freeway. the chase ended though about 30 miles away, and he jumped out of the moving car and the cruiser kept on going. we're freezing that video there. it is very graphic. eventually the car smashed into the pole and the suspect later died at the hospital. all right, now to first alert weather. an interesting affect in some of san francisco's tallest buildings, it has been cracking. sometimes falling glass from skyscrapers. today a high-rise window crashed on mission street near fremont, closed for hours. thankfully nobody got hurt. but this has happened a few times this month. just this week, glass rained down from a high-rise along california street, now there's even talk about changing city building codes. went out with an

architect to get a closer look and what's going on with all these windows. >> reporter: allan swag has been installing windows throughout san francisco for years now, and told me he has never seen damage quite like what happened last week. >> it is kind of a perfect storm of situations. >> reporter: during last tuesday's storm, multiple windows, either cracked or fully shattered in high-rise buildings downtown. allan says the interesting fact is that the damage occurred in different types of windows. >> for example, we have this building here at 555 california that many people have been hearing about where the glass panel actually blew out of the building. and a lot of us have talked about that, you know, because we're downtown a lot, and we see this a lot of the time. and why that occurred is because there is likely a weakness on the day we would have extremely high wind.

>> the windows at 555 california are older and not tempered. that's why he believes instead of shattering into little piece, the full panel fell from the sky. the powered are different because they are laminated glass. >> and laminated glass will crack, but it will not fall out, it will stay together. and it is actually good that it cracked. >> the fact that new windows is one of the main reasons san francisco's supervisor, aaron peskin, called for the city to update its building code. >> the current code says after a building is built, the first inspections of the windows don't have to happen for 30 years.

and it doesn't make since given what has happened and the fact they need to get those kinds of assessments. >> allowing them to look at buildings before any damage occurs will help prevent it. >> and why wait for something bad to happen, so i applaud that kind of movement in the right direction of safety. >> reporter: importantly though, allan tells us the chances of windows shattering is still low, but says older buildings should still be inspected. and obviously we have been talking about winds. winds have been a factor in most of the last few storms that we've had. >> yeah, today's weren't as strong, but still strong enough to do additional damage and result in sporadic power outages. here is the good news. the winds have calmed down. the strongest winds right along the coast of 12 miles an hour. we can handle that. the not so good news is that we

are still in first alert mode for tonight and tomorrow. additional showers and thunderstorms likely, in addition to the forecast is that we have the threat of those scattered thunderstorms, especially during the daylight hours on wednesday. gusty winds around those storms will be possible, and the winds in between the storms will be as nearly as strong as today, but heavy rain could result in localized flooding and that will result in slick road conditions. drier weather is in stored, the other bit of good news. even once the rain chances eventually return further down the line in the forecast, they will be much lower rain chances. for now the rain chances are not lower, and a break in the action for much of the bay area. and all of this will continue coming at us as we head through tonight and tomorrow. we should see quite a bit of rain on the map for the wednesday morning commute and allow for some extra time and stopping distance, especially if there is hail on the road.

and ased tds mday, until they passo theou ar, a tt won't happen until laten the day. and the ones that are out there could still produce that same wind damage and hail threat, scattered activities will continue, and finally starting to calm down. that storm system slides down to the south with dry conditions that go through thursday and friday. let's add up the rain on top of what we have received and futurecast is producing anywhere from a quarter inch in most locations and some spots that will get more and trying to show you the exact placement will be confined and so exactly where the heaviest rain is going to fall is going to be a matter of chance, and maybe you're on the

high end of things, but localized flooding is the worst affect. it will still be a mess with difficult travel conditions, and wind gusts up to 60 miles an hour. and it was up along one of the highways and it is just a mess up there this evening. we have a break in the action in san francisco. temperatures in the 40s across the board, which won't change a whole lot. everybody will stay in the 40s through tomorrow morning, maybe even warming up a degree or two with the clouds filling back in. but in between those scattered showers and thunderstorms, it won't be very warm. temperatures a good 10 to 15 degrees below normal. even that is warm enough compared to conditions in the upper levels of the atmosphere as things will be unstable, and that is why we have the thunderstorm threat. tomorrow is another first alert day. and then we settle into the calmer weather pattern for thursday and friday. you'll see some shower icons on the map for sunday, monday, tuesday, mainly north of the golden gate. those are very low chances as we are talking about generally a

20% to 30% chance of rain on saturday through the middle of next week. if we do get those showers to pay us a visit, they won't amount to very much at all. we'll keep an eye on the radar tonight and tomorrow and we will keep you updated throughout the rest of the progress of this storm system. straight ahead, how? how did it happen? warriors down as much as 20 to come back and win by 11? how? well, we're going to tell you. we're going to show you, playoff-like atmosphere, must-win mentality. what happened? give your small business one tech solution
