our top story this morning... thousands of people in san jose have been forced out of their homes after major flooding destroys the area. and it could be a long time before any of them will be able to return home. this is video showing you just how bad the damage is. the floodwater is contaminated. mixed with various things including car oils and even sewage. and several neighborhoods are still recovering from the floods this morning. you can see the submerged cars in this video from our helicopter partnership with abc 7. the water is slowly receding, but again, many families still

cant get to their homes. now the city of san jose is taking the blame for not getting people out before the floodwaters rushed in. kron 4's j.r stone has the latest. natsflood victims quickly working to try and salvage their belongings that were damaged by water.sot oh yeah everything still has water. water levels are receding, leaving a trail of mud in many areas. neighborhoods where flood damaged cars have been marked with x's. frustration now building over what many say was a lack of notification before the flood hit.sot they weren't expecting thisthe water was pretty bad.sot the emergency evacuation from the city only came after it was too late to go.sot nobody messaged us anyway telling us that the surge was coming and that it was worse than it wasand that it was going to be really bad. if it had been then we would have moved more things upstairs and we would have been better prepared.san jose mayor sam liccardo addressed those concerns on wednesday.sot if the first time that a resident is aware that they need to get out of a home is when they see a firefighter in a boat then clearly there has been a failure.sot there was a failure as i said and we're going to try and understand better in the next couple of weeks what that failure was. out here live this evening that water is still a problem in this rocksprings section of

san jose. water leves have gone down at least a couple feet but it appears they now still need to go down another couple feet. one of the many concerns in san jose now is what is in all that flood water. officials say water traveled about 20 -miles on coyote creek from anderson reservior in morgan hill all the way to san jose. and along the winding creek, fertilizer and pesticides from people's lawns and gardens has run off in the storms and into the creek. they also say gas and oil has gotten into the water as well after cars were submerged by the flood waters. officials say if you have been exposed to the flood water, it is clearly critical to get clean.

in the east bay... a 17-year-old is in custody suspected of robbing a 12- year-old girl and her mother who were selling girl scout cookies. the incident happened two weeks ago in front of safeway along decoto road in union city. that's where a mother and her daughter had a booth set up in front of the store. then, police say a teenager approached them asking about buying cookies. they say he came back a short time later and flashed a gun, before taking cash from the girl's mother. an investigation led to police to arrest the teenager who they say, confessed to the robbery. police donated the money which was stolen to the girl. and bought her remaining cookies. police need your help identifying two burglars in palo alto. a surveillance video system caught them trying to get into a home. the burglary happened a few weeks ago on february ninth at

a home on roosevelt circle. you will see a man with a star wars jacket walk up to the home and attempts to open a door but he couldn't get in. he looks into the home and after a short time he walks out of the picture. but later returns and tries to open the door again and once again looks inside a window. and then leaves. eventually you see the guy with the star wars jacket walk past another camera. this time, behind him, a second burglarer wearing a gray sweatshirt. the two briefly stop to look around and then take off. police believe they think they were able to burglarize another home earlier that day. flooding along coyote creek started when anderson reservoir was overwhelmed by storm runoff this past weekend. and when the reservoir reached capacity, water surged over the spillway causing flooding all the way to san francisco bay. kron 4's charles clifford spoke with nervous neighbors

back to our top story this morning... more than 36-thousand families have been evacuated from their homes in san jose since coyote creek flooded parts of the city. there has been a lot of discussion about who should have sounded the alarm about the flooding from coyote creek. the water district is in charge of anderson reservoir and the city is responsible for evacuating people. but it is up to the santa clara valley water district to monitor coyote creek and take steps to prepare for the next storm. kron 4's dan kerman has the details. natsthis is the issue here where we have debris collect on the treeswednesday, crews with the santa clara valley water district were working their way up and down coyote creek clearing debris in anticipation of the next round of storms.sot don duran/santa clara valley water district 15-25if the deris is collecting in the middle at this level of flow that's not as much of a concern because it will blow right past, but if the debris is collecting

toward the levee, then it will push it into the levee and damage the leveethat's why tree branches like these were removed both upstream and downstream of the downtown area it's all part of the water district multi facet approach to monitor the creek and prepare for the next storm sot gina adriano/santa clara valley water district 45-55we do have stream gauges that allow us to monitor the creek and we have crews that measure the stream flows and we have hydrologists and staff that monitor weather reports from the national weather service. other crews were out identifying high water marks near bridges and homes that flooded in hopes the information will allow them to better predict what happens in future storms.111/future storms storms111/future storms.future happens in predict what them to better predict what happens in future storms.111/future storms

the legalization of

recreational marijuana in california is setting the stage for the birth of a new industry. it is an economic influx that could be a big boost for the city of oakland. kron4's maureen kelly takes an in depth look at this issue. 2:19 we have to consider all of our options we don't want to move, it's not easily to uproot, it's not like a threat or anythingdark heart nursery grows marijuana starter plants.they've been doing brisk business in east oakland since 2007. and they want to stay here. but are worried they might not be able to. we don't have a permit, we need a permit it's going to be vital to get the permit in california,like many cannabis related business dark heart nursery has a business liscense and pays taxes to the city but under new state regulations they're also going to need a cannabis operating permit issued by oakland by 2018 and that permitting process stalled before it even really got started.the issue that has the permit process clogged up at city hall is how to make the cannabis industry equitable for those communities of color that some would say were unfairly targeted during the war on drugs. the city council recently scraped a plan to set aside half of the city's operating permits for those convicted of marijuana

related offenses or those who have lived 2 years within certain east oakland police beats with high number of marijuana arrests. a plan criticized by many cannabis business operators for being too restrictive the debate around this issue has been waging for months. meanwhile there are those that are worrying that other cities will benefit from oakland's delay.santa rosa looks good, richmond looks really goodmatt hummel is the chair of the city's cannabis regulatory commission. he says interest in oakland as a marijuana mecca is withering.cut 19:25 we had people calling i want a permit i want a permit all day long until about 2 months ago because cities across the state have picked up the ball and started running with it because we set it downand that could be costly for the city. oakland has been collecting taxes on pot profits for yearsraking in more than 13 million in just 5 years. money that goes into the general fund and is funneled to things like police and fire services, libraries and parks. that number is expected to keep going up now that prop 64 has passed.unless other marijuana friednly municipalities lure pot businesses and investors elsewhere.we are making amends, i guess the word would be for the travesty that happened for the war on drugs

orver the past 40 50 years and how it's affected people of color ebele ifedigbo is the co founder of the hood incubator, a non profit which is working to increase participation of the black and brown communities in the cannabis industry. while she admits the city may miss on some economic opportunites with all of the debate and delay.she says it's worth it. 11:06 yes the conversation has gone on for 8, 9, 10 months now but this is stuff that's going to set the tone for generations over generations so if it takes a little while to get things right that's ok bitedon't get me wrong we need to get this right, race and equity is not an solveit would be a shame that even the equity doesn't happen because the industry as moved onthe city council is set next month on a new equity plan that offers help to the disenfranchised in other ways loan funding, tax breaks and support for their burgeoning business.they don't want to see the industry here in oakland dry up.just as it's starting to take root. maureen kelly kron4 news.
