shriver. she moved out when schwarzenegger admitted to fathering a child with a long time household staff member more than ten years ago. let's get right to the statement he released about all this. schwarzenegger said there are no excuses. i take full responsibility for the hurt i have caused. i apologize to maria, my children and my family he said. now the l.a. times is reporting schwarzenegger had this child out of wedlock with the woman who'd work for his family for 20 years. she just retired in january. it was some time after schwarzenegger left office this year that he reportedly admitted everything to his wife. now maria shriver has yet to comment on all of this. people we're talking to out here today say their thoughts are certainly with her and the couple's four kids. >> i feel sorry for his wife. that's who i feel sorry for. she's the one hurting. she probably knew it, but hid it. >> reporter: back out here live we've also heard some people say this is just a family

member and should be private. for this couple it's been very hard to ever stay out of the spotlight from movies to politics with both of them. schwarzenegger has already lined up several more movie deals since leaving office this year. we're live in oakland, ktvu channel 2 news. well, it may be the middle of may, but we are on storm watch. the bay area's waking up to a wet and windy morning. it's already causing some problemsover night the highway patrol had to shut down the northbound 101 to highway 1 in mill valley because of flooding. one woman even had to be rescued after her car got stuck in the water there. that ramp is back open this morning. and over the bay bridge a high wind advisory's in place this morning. the sign shows the warning drivers as they approach the toll plaza. the high wind advisory is also in effect at the benicia bridge and the san mateo bridge. up in the wine country grape growers are closely watching this unusual may weather pattern. growers tell us that the cold

wet weather so far isn't hurting the crops. however, problems could rise if rain starts falling again in two weeks during the bloom period because it could prevent the actual grapes from forming. growers say whether it's rain, insects or even wild fire smoke they're always dealing with something. >> i think that's called farming. there's always something. you never know what it's going to be. hopefully both have the cash reserves to get you through the bumps in the road and probably the mentality to deal with all that uncertainty and the risk associated with trying to grow a crop. >> now the worst time to get the rain is actually in the fall. that's because the water can rot the fruit before it's ready to be picked. more worries this morning for the owners of six homes on a sliding hillside in san pablo. ktvu's allie rasmus joins us now to talk about why they are upset with city leaders. allie. >> reporter: pam, now that it's a little lighter outside we can give you a better view of the

six homes effected by this landslide. there are three at the top of the hill. and that yellow house you're looking at through the trees is one of those three. three houses at the bottom of the hill where we are standing right now the owners of this house right next to us this peach colored house had to move out because the city declared that their home was no longer safe for them to spend the night in. and if we walk a little further this way and show you their backyard, you can see exactly why. this is the landslide we're talking about. that mud and dirt has slid and spilled right up against the back of the house. these people don't even have a backyard anymore because all that mud has swallowed up parts of their fence, patio furniture and tipped over the basketball hoop you're looking at. city leaders in san pablo say even though all of this looks unsettling, they believe the ground on this hillside is relatively stable now and it hasn't moved significantly in the past month or so. this landslide emergency first started in march but now the city council is thinking about stripping away that emergency declaration they gave the area.

and that would mean the homeowners effected by this landslide would no longer be eligible for any state or federal emergency funding to shore up the hill and be able to move back into their homes. now city leaders say the homeowners probably wouldn't have gotten any of that government funding anyway because most of the area effected is on private property. the homeowners are nonetheless upset about this. some of their homes are yellow and red tagged. and a family at the top of the hill had to basically abandon their home because it was deemed completely unsafe to live in. daytime or nighttime. today the homeowners feel as though the city has turned its back on them. >> it's just scary. i didn't hear -- i thought i was going to hear a little bit something more positive than what i heard last night. there isn't anything. i don't know. >> reporter: you're without hope at this point? >> yes. where am i going to go? >> reporter: and that homeowner is talking about the san pablo city council meeting that happened last night. the city council was supposed

to make a decision on whether to strip the emergency declaration last night, they ended up postponing that decision until their meeting next month. and we are also hearing that the city is now also moving away from plans to temporarily stabilize the homes. they initially had some plans to drill some piers into the back of this hillside to support the homes at the top of the hill. but because this group of homeowners did not find a relief waiving the city of any lifix it appears the city is moving away from that as well. ktvu, channel 2 news. time now 6:37. a bay area congresswoman says millions of dollars allocated for gas line improvements were spent somewhere else. congresswoman spears says she got the information from the state public utilities information but she says she got a vague response when she asked for an explanation on how the money was spent. pg&e did replace some old pipelines, but not the one that blew up in san bruno last september. congresswoman spear says pg&e needs to be watched closer.
