in the north bay... a massive tree came crashing down on a garage in mill valley. fortunately nobody

was home when the 100 foot tree fell over yesterday. people who live along morning sun avenue say tree service workers were out there earlier in the week trying to prevent something like this from happening but the storm moved in before they could take care of the tree. now the area around the garage has been taped off until a crew can get there to remove the tree. and during yesterday's storm the petaluma rive in southern sonoma county reached it's flood stage. flooding water stretched across miles of low lying fields. many of the roads through the area flooded in low lying spots. and while some people in the area say they don't mind the rain they have had enough. state engineers have discovered new damage to the oroville dam spillway in butte county. that is where a huge hole opened up earlier this week. now the hole is roughly twice the size of when it first opened on tuesday. this is video from yesterday...that split was

'not' initially all the way across the spillway... reservoir levels continue to climb behind the flood-control structure. it's now at 90 percent of capacity. engineers want to stress that this hole is not oppening on the dam itself -- only the spillway. they say they are keeping a very close eye on the problem. the san francisco 49ers introduced new head coach kyle shanahan and new general manager john lynch to the media. shananan is the team's fourth head coach in the last four seasons. both are rookies in their ácurrent positions...however, they've had successful careers. shanahan says turning around this franchise will take time, but they are driven to make it work.

shanahan has been criticized lately after his former team... the atlanta falcons blew a 25 point lead in the super bowl. he responded to that criticism saying he regrets the plays that didn't work but it won't affect his thinking moving forward. despite losing two of their major financial backers the oakland raiders are still trying to move the team to las vegas. raiders team officials met with the las vegas stadium authority yesterday. and during the meeting the raiders president mark badain told the stadium authority that the team is making progress in finding the money to build a new stadium. vote. the raiders are also

looking for a temporary home while the stadium is being built. team leaders say they are still evaluating sam boyd stadium at u-n-l-v. the schools president says they have expanded the stadium in the past and are willing to do it again if it gets the raiders to vegas sooner. nfl owners are expected to meet next month to decide on the raiders move. big board. coming up on the kron4 news at 7.. a bay area student is arrested after bringing a loaded gun to school. we'll tell you where it happened and what police are saying about the incident this morning. and coming up after this break... kron4 viewers are sending in their
