it. they cancelled schools in places like here, in marin county. as far as bus services, the bay transit said the bus also not be affected. the ferry service, they said the priority will be the highway 101 corridor, they may have to cancel some routes in local areas according to how much flooding goes on. pay attention, we'll pass the information along as we get it. we talked about it for days, if this storm is going to come. it is here, it's heavy rain, heavy wind, low-down and be careful. the worst is still yet to which is a scary proposition. >> that's right jackie. if you're in the east bay, you're not seeing the heavy rain yet. the golden gate ferry is running right now. let's go to eric tracking

area because of a high profile vehicle. this is her live van. she was being tossed and bounced around like a minnow on the roadway. you can see how extremely windy it is. it hurts to be out. we'll move over here. we'll show you, this might be a better vantage point. it's better lit here, you can see the waterfall and rain hitting the ground as well. you can see this guy out there. he's out and about, i would suggest unless you absolutely need to be out i wouldn't think about it. it's that dangerous, there's hydroplaning going on. the next time you see me i'll have my glasses on. it hurts to be out here as well. sir, i guess you run this coffee shop. it's too dangerous to me. i saw you turn off your lights, you're going off. >> no, no, i'm stopping. >> do you expect customers today? >> yes, people come for the habit. >> have you seen something like
