killing of osama bin-laden. now, we were fighting out there was this tense time when the mission was happening. >>george: the chp is now on seen in is confirming that three of the lanes on interstate 80 are blocked west out commute direction. this is a huge problem and will be a big delay. we will feel the effects of this all morning long. this is the location of the crash. it is just ahead of the 580 march. it has already had a big impact on traffic. sensors have recently been updated. expect to see slower track a callback from hilltop with a

drive time already is 22 minutes from hercules to berkeley. we understand that one of the vehicles involved was overturned. initial reports indicate there could be reckless driving involved. >>erica: it is pretty quiet in the weather center. clear conditions overlooking the james lick. we are dealing with tartars running in the upper '40's and low fifties around the bay area. we will continue to see seasonably mild-1 temperatures this afternoon, a mix of sun and clouds. we will continue with a dry and mild weather pattern for the rest of january. here is a look at those numbers right outside the door. upper '40's and santa rosa. 44 for fairfield and in napa. low 50s along the peninsula. coming up in my next report,

a look at your 7 day around the bay forecast and when you can expect your next chance of rain fall. >>james: telegraph hill in san francisco, we had a rock slide earlier in the week. boulders crashed a car and rolled up next to an apartment building. it was a pretty incredible scene. let's get the latest from the scene with jackie sissel. >>jackie: the plan is, the department of public works hopes to get some equipment in here. the rock side is up this road in and around the corner, on the side of the condominium complex on the lombard street. it is very tight. they have to get specialized equipment and obviously the concern is they do not want to cause any more damage. let's take a look at video from

yesterday with the geologists and engineers survey the site. the good news is they say the hell has stabilized. they did not see any cracking or new threats. they want to get in here with the equipment and take off those smaller rocks so that a larger boulders do not have a place to roll down. once they do that they can put the fencing, the protective netting back up around the condominium complex so that any further slides will not affect a complex. that is the hope right now. the hope is that possibly they could be out as early as 7:00 a.m.. that may or may not happen. that is predicated on the fact that they can get their right equipment, the smaller equipment to do the work that they're asking. the three units that were read tags are now yellow tag. residents cannot sleep in

their normal bedrooms, they're asking them to sleep on the side of the apartment's not facing the hillside. there could be some sleepless nights ahead. the good news is the department of public works is saying that they will be back out here and start mitigating these rock slides as quickly as they can. >>james: it is almost like a game of the agenda--jenga. jean >>jackie: it is on private property. the rocks are against the condo itself.

>>george: there ride on 80 will soon be backed up all the way to highway 4 and possibly into vallejo. three left hand lanes are plot across the boulevard with what is now likely to become a fatal accident. the corner has been summoned to the scene. that is not usually done unless officers are present and certain that there is a fatality. although it is being called a possibly fatal accident with the corner in approve this likely also means that the accident will be out there for a long time because the coroner's investigation does take a fair amount of time. currently drive times are running at about 30 minutes on 80 westbound. for

>>justine: authorities have closed streets due to reports of flooding. crews are also working to restore power to people waking up in the dark.

>>george: there is hardly any drop from the bay bridge this morning. it is not likely that we will see much

of a backup at any time all the metering lights have not been activated. thomas and retail bridge with our problem free. no delays in either direction. the golden gate bridge ride looks good. this could be used as an alternate to the east shore freeway so things could be heavier on 101 southbound. >>erica: here is a live look at conditions from the mt. tam cam. the lights in the background are indicating a pretty clear start to the morning. we are not seeing any problems with visibility. high clouds and mild temperatures outside the door. as we head into the afternoon a lot of sunshine compared to what we saw yesterday. overnight,

light winds, partly cloudy conditions in some locations returning to the 30's. sphere by adm, upper 40's for portions of the north bay. warmer along the coastline. by lunch the green fill in indicating temperatures in the '50s. a lot of 60s on our maps. into the north bay, a mix of sun and clouds. 65 expected in

an >>george: fame it just said in the committee this morning for interstate 80.

there are three lanes blocked with a fatal accident westbound ad richmond and across the boulevard. traffic is very rapidly backing up to highway 4. with three lanes blocked, the traffic trying to get past the scene of the accident cannot. it is at a standstill. drive times are running up boards of 50 minutes from hercules to berkeley. for alternate routes like 680, 37 and the richmond parkway, will show you that when coming up. >>darya: the president will be headed to iowa on may 5th state 3d tore to sell his economic policy goals.

>>president obama: right now our immediate party is stopping a tax hike on working americans while the economy is still fragile. people cannot afford losing $40 out of each paycheck periods let's agree right here, right now, no side

issues or drama, as the fear of tax cut without delay. floor samples before taking the stage, the president of the outgoing congress woman get a real difference. she was shot in the head by a gunman during an assassination attempt. she announced earlier this week that she would be stepping down from congress to focus on her recovery. we will take a quick break and be right back. theft bothwell

>>darya: we had a big problem on its 80! >>george: and a fatal accident 80 westbound. that means it is not going to be cleared any time soon. this happened so early in the commute, the traffic was very light the and even so we have already managed to back up the ride nearly to highway 4 westbound. costs of habitat standstill. that is the reason things are likely to be so slow. there are only one may be too lanes available. one of your best bets would be to take the already crowded richmond parkway to bring into interstate 580 and you can

reconnect with the east shore freeway. your other option is to use interstates 680 down highway 24 were cut across highway 37 and take 101 in from orange county. those are your options this morning. it is likely to be painfully slow. drive times are already reported that over one hour from hercules to berkeley. i expected this will back up all the way to vallejo for 80 westbound. >>erica: a pretty mild start to the morning. we do not have too much in the way of fog. we do not have to many locations near freezing. temperatures are pretty stubborn this mornings. santa rosa has been holding steady at 49. 44 in fairfield and napa. check

out of downtown san francisco. along the peninsula, '50s. a mixture of forties in the south bay. as we focus on temperatures door of their rest of the day, the afternoon highs look like this. for we are running 5 degrees warmer than the seasonal average. 63 is that, number for nafta and nevada. 60 expected for richmond. as we see exactly what will be the case over the next couple of days, a look at what is on tap for the next several, warm and sunny with temperatures in the '60s. coming up, a look at your 7 day around a bit forecast. >>james: a developing story in san francisco, the crews will be back at telegraph hill, the site of the rockslide from earlier this week. they will continue

cleanup efforts. they have quite a bit to deal with. huge boulders came down damaging cars and the side of the condominium building. the condo building allow residents to stay overnight but they were told not to sit in the veterans that directly face the slope. engineers who were worried that other rocks could fall. >> i am on the job. i am

>>darya: will trend is that one of the schools where they're using drugs nothing dogs. >>will: here at foothill high they have had 29 suspensions and expulsions so far this year. that is three more than all of last year. the dogs will not hit pleasanton's calls until administrators finalize the policy and it will only be

used when students are not on campus. the drug sniffing dogs are already used in schools in livermore, dublin and castro valley with varying degrees of success. >>justine: this story just crossed the wires. rep michelle bachman is saying that she will seek a fourth term in congress after her failed presidential bid. >>james: we are back with more headlines in just a minute. here are live pictures of the hot spot that george was talking about. westbound 80, an accident near 580. >>george: this is westbound at carlson boulevard. this is a fatal crash. the corner has been called to the scene. the lanes are not likely to reopen any time

soon. drive times are starting to push one hour from hercules to berkeley. we will be right back.

>>darya: one of the two called lick the cities with an oral outbreak has reopened. of the stability reported 25 cases of gastrointestinal illness. the other center in corte madera is still close to this morning. they had 62 cases of an oral virus that started generate 18th. 70 cases of the illness were reported at a preschool in marin county. that affected about 16 children. that particular preschool remained closed as of yesterday.

>>george: we have been tracking a hot spot on interstate 80. it is a fatal crash. that means it will be there for a while. the two left lanes and part of the number 3 lane are obstructed

past the scene of the crash. this is a live look from yoli aceves. this is a look at the traffic headed westbound. this is a look at traffic approaching the scene. it has practically stopped. you're trying to take four and a half lanes, almost five lanes with the on ramp in convert those down to just to lanes. that has created this backup on interstate 80 westbound. their red means slow speeds westbound. if we set the maps in motion he will see that the backup begins here and and all. one of the best alternates is there richmond parkway. it is already

pretty heavy. a lot of people use that to get to the richmond center fell bridge. this time you hit back of the opposite direction or take 37 over to highway 101 or use 680 tie with 24. the net effect is it is likely to have a positive impact on the bay bridge. as we predicted there would be virtually no backup for the bay bridge because most of the traffic getting to the toll plaza comes from the east shore freeway and it is not there yet. your ride on the san mateo bridge is problem free. no delays. the golden gate bridge ride looks good also. no problems coming from marin county. the south bay freeways so far look good. the only hot spot is the east shore freeway ride for 80 westbound. >>erica: the first thing i noticed when i woke up this morning is that it was not that cold outside. clear conditions overlooking the roof camera in downtown san francisco. the pretty mild
