tens of thousands of gallons of sewage leaked on to fulsome street. if we look across the street i don't know if you can see where the car is. right next to it is a white bin and you can see how high the sewage got. about 1-1/2 feet deep. at arroyo's body shop in the corner says this is at least the third time the street has overflowed. he showed us pictures of the last two times it happened in 2009 and 2004. >> i'm irritated. they just last year did every pipe possible in the street from 20th i think to seventh. this is not supposed to happen according to our city. >> reporter: now firefighters did pump out quite a bit of

sewage but residents tell me they are very frustrate because this has happened so often over the past several years. they say they are probably going to be cleaning for the next four hours and usually by the time, most of the major work is done. so they tell me they are extremely annoyed. if you look at the backside of this row of buildings that's shotwell. firefighters tell me that a lot of people on that side of the road might notice there's quite a bit of sewage flooding into their home. not a very good morning for the folks out here in the mission district. they do tell me this used to be an old creek that ran right through the heart of fulsome street and it's the lowest point in this area which is why it tends to have so many problems. time now is 7:33, the florida neighborhood watch volunteer who fatally shot unarmed teenager trayvon martin is expected to be in court today for the first time.

reporter phil king joins us now from sanford florida d phil keating, where george zimmerman turned himself in last night. the florida department of law enforcement tinted window suv pulled in behind me here at the seminole county jail. that's when zimmerman walked in with a jacket draped over his head. 1:30 this afternoon he will now face a judge for the first time. facing a charge of second degree murder for the shooting death of unarmed 17-year-old teenager trayvon martin. that happened 46 days ago for 45 days all martin's parents wanted was simply not mob justice, not zimmerman to be convicted and sentenced to a long prison term. they just simply wanted him to be arrested and that last night

is exactly what they finally got. and at 6:00 p.m. eastern time that's when the special prosecutor announced her decision of second degree murder. that's the maximum charge that she had available to her. she could have gone with involuntary manslaughter or manslaughter, but if convicted on second degree murder, especially in the light that a handgun was used and the victim died, that could bring life in prison. however, george zimmerman all along has been pleading self- defense in this case. that maybe he initiated the confrontation as the neighborhood watch activist, as determined in trayvon martin suspicious. but that trayvon martin instigated the violence that's when he felt his life was threatened. so that means they will have a separate pretrial hearing at some point and it'll be up to the judge to weigh the facts of the law here in florida which is considered the most liberal make my day, stand your ground,

shoot to kill, right to kill laws as they have been called. and that could determine if the judge agrees that maybe he did have a reasonable belief that it was self-defense, he felt his life was threatened. the case could be dismissed all together. but that's down the road from here. the brand new attorneys for zimmerman say they are going to enter a plea of not guilty. because of all the publicity, all of the rallies and marchs here in seminol county they will likely see a change of venue. that's the down the road from here. but for now, george zimmerman, in custody, under arrest, charged with second degree murder. and his brother robert zimmerman jr. in california says that it was bittersweet. he was happy but sad watching his brother walking into jail. he felt with the whole public outcry nationwide he felt his brother is safer now where he

is locked up. >> i listened to him, at least he's safe. he's not under ground, he's not fearing for his life. but he will be on video. i don't know what the safety concerns are around that courthouse today. >> everything is very locked down. the jail is adjacent to the courthouse. it's going to be an easy logistical transfer for him. he is probably in private custody. we will get video of him listening to the judge this, afternoon. >> okay phil keating thank you for reporting for us live from sanford florida. we have posted a time line of events of the trayvon martin case on ktvu.com. 7:37, let's check traffic. sal you're telling me it's not so bad right now. >> no it was worse earlier. what we have now dave and

claudine are a lot of small fender benders. people get into those and they pull off to the shoulder. unfortunately not causing any lane delays but just a lot of small things. and some areas have improved. you can see the sun here in san francisco along northbound 101 approaching the 80 split. you can see traffic moving well at the split into it, at the toll plaza there's about a 10 minute delay. let's take a look at the toll plaza, not so bad. it's not as sunny here on the east bay side of the road. and the meters lights are on so you will be waiting. there's a car fire at senole boulevard. i want to move the maps to highway 4 a low slow at bay point. slowing there and okay just moved the maps back to walnut creek. at 7:38 now let's go to steve. lots of well i would say

really impressing spring weather continues to march in. that was a really strong band that went through this morning. thankfully it went by really early or we would have had lots of issues. that's blasted through but there's a lot of stream to come in later today, tonight into friday. after friday afternoon friday evening then things look to get a little quieter. but still about 36, 48 hours of some rain. there goes the system. heavy duty snow. just looking at some of the cams, borreal, truckee, it's all just lit up with snow. so if you have to travel good look heading up 80 for a while or 50. still some rain around. still some rain around. kind of a hit and miss here. middle town, inch of rain up in lake county. john in sebastapool also had

rain. livermore, napa. there's been a lot of rain around. 40s upper 40s or low 50s on the temps. right there, you get a good look at that system but coming in right there the very cold unstable and the entire upper air system is sliding in kind of like going like this. it'll be right over us by tomorrow which means i think about anything goes tomorrow. not only heavy rain but also much heavy snow levels. maybe to 3,000 feet and possibility of more severe weather. more likely tomorrow than today. turning colder on friday with another round of rain and wind. today maybe a couple of .01 to . .15 of an inch. there's going to be some more heavy rain in the way into friday evening and this then by saturday morning i think this is all long gone. but it'll be really chilly saturday morning.

possibility of brief heavy rain. upper 50s should cover it. more likely upper 50s. tomorrow is going to be a really dicey day. i will say it again i think they will play just not sure they will play at 1:35, that's my best guess for right now. colder with rain on friday, rain on saturday. sunday and monday looking better, claudine. earth day restoration clean up is on saturday but one project is already on the way. there you see it the workers prepping wood at the bail grist park. about 100 volunteers are going to be using that wood this weekend to help restore a gold rush era mill. a grant from the california state park foundation was given to the park to help make those repairs. >> this is the only operating gristmill which is a flour in mill in the state of california. it's an icon for the valley but also a very important part of california history. >> reporter: the volunteer list

a mixed bag here. midwest weather. more sun toward the coast and in -- inland. you will get better conditions at the coast if you don't mind the breeze. a little more rain comes in friday and then that looks to be the end of the current system or the current pattern. we'll see a couple of days after that we'll have a few good days. time now 8:24, a major new development in the trayvon martin shooting case in florida. the shooter goes before a judge in just a couple of hours. we're live in san francisco, where residents say they've been dealing with a massive sewage problem this morning but now the city may be disputing that. also the long delayed b.a.r.t. extension to san jose project, it is finally ground breaking day.

it. but i did not expect this this morning, it was the farthest thing from my head. >> reporter: now that it's happened again residents say they are frustrated. they say that this stretch of mission is the lowest point in the district and was built on top of an old creek. so it's not surprising that there are flooding problems. now crews say that all the drains are clear and the landlords need to take responsibility and buy back fill preventers or pumps to prevent this in the future. but one landlord's daughter tells us the city is picking up the tab for the clean up so she does not agree with dcw's assessment. not clear if a battle will ensue from this issue. a woman is being held for observation after a stand off with belmont police. at 8:00 last night officers responded to an emergency call at the 1100 block of continental's way. a man says his wife was arm and

driving in that torrential rain we had earlier. bay bridge is a little bit slow on the upper deck getting into san francisco. it's a little bit windy up there as well on that deck. but again, i think it's still worth it driving in daylight and drier conditions. drying out in the south bay we see a little bit of sun here in milpitas but still traffic heading west over to sunny vale. at 8:32, let's go to steve. >> it was raining hard. that was the hardest i've seen in a long time. mostly sunny sky. there's just too much unstable air coming in here. some lines of shower forming again. in mount diablo, back over lafayette highway 24. and back over oakland and you go a little bit north of that and you can probably find a little bit of blue sky. toyy just tweeted me and said i

see blue skies over martinez. everything is on its way here this whole system begins to slide. so some sun, more toward the coast than inland where it'll be cloudy than mostly cloudy. you can juice the atmosphere again possibility of warmer weather. upper 50s, very low 60s. tomorrow looks like an extremely busy day weather wise. i know it's the giant's homeowner. i think they'll still play. clearing very chilly saturday morning and sunny and mostly sunny sunday and monday. claudine, dave. britney spears may be very close to becoming a judge on the x factor. the singer agreed to a deal to
