ktvu's debra is live at children's hospital in oakland. >> reporter: ken, a fund-raiser to pay for jahi's airlift out of here was abruptly cancelled this evening, in part because the money is already there, but also, no doors are open. >> look at this situation, god. give them the heart as if it was their child as opposed to pointing the finger, god. >> reporter: jahi's mother's pastor led prayer for peace and healing, as the battle over keeping jahi on life support takes yet another turn. already a los angeles medical facility had backed out of accepting the brain-dead teenager. now a new york hospital said no as well. >> we definitely don't want to raise funds, you know, for something that is not ironclad. >> reporter: when today's fund- raiser was planned at this church, the family had about $400 towards the cost of moving jahi. but in just two days of

soliciting on the gofundme website, online donations already top the money needed to airlift here. >> that's a miracle. the community evidently sees, you know, what's going on. and they want to give jahi a chance to live. >> reporter: but her time on life support has a court- ordered limit. without an appeal, they can pull jahi's ventilator tomorrow evening. >> there's a 5:00 deadline tomorrow. i believe it's critical to say, up until that time, we're going to continue to pray good you are the comforter. comfort the hearts of the families right now, god. >> reporter: an hour ago, outside the hospital -- >> no amount of hope, no amount of prayer, can bring her back. >> reporter: a spokesperson declared there's a reason facilities are refusing to take jahi. >> she is deceased. she's on a ventilator. she has no chance of coming

back, under any circumstance. >> reporter: and the deadline stands. >> when 5:00 comes around, the ventilator will be removed. >> reporter: jahi would have to leave children's with a breathing tube and a feeding tube, procedures this hospital refuses to do on a deceased person. now, her family has not been vocal today. their pastor says they are at her bedside and consulting with their attorney on what to do next. reporting live in oakland, ktvu channel 2 news. more details now on the emotional fight to keep jahi mcmath on life support. the 13-year-old oakland teen went in for a tonsillectomy to help with sleep apnea. that was on december 9. she was declared brain-dead on december 12, after complications and after suffering cardiac arrest. a judge issued a restraining order that said oakland children's hospital cannot take

jahi off life support until monday, tomorrow, december 30. taking a live look now at the gofundme page that's been set up for jahi, you can see more than $21,000 has been raised for jahi since this page was set up two days ago. that is more than the family's goal of $20,000. our web team has posted a link to that page on ktvu.com. a collision between a car and a san francisco fire truck sent two people, including a firefighter, to the hospital. the accident happened just before 11 a.m. at fifth and howard streets in the city's south of market neighborhood. the firefighter was treated in the hospital and released. people in the area said they knew something was wrong as soon as they heard the crash. >> i just heard like a big bang. so i came outside to check out what's going on. >> i've only been here for five months. i've never really seen anything that big happen out here. >> the crash caused traffic

problems late this morning when police closed the 5th and howard intersection. a busy intersection, so it could investigate the collision. earlier this morning in san francisco, an suv struck and killed a pedestrian. it happened around 2:30 in the morning as the pedestrian was walking along the 4th street on ramp to westbound interstate 80. the driver stopped and is cooperated with police. the highway patrol does not believe alcohol was a factor in this crash. the on-ramp was closed for about two hours. continuing coverage on the drought concerns here in california. as we approach the end of the dryest calendar year on record. here in the bay area, water agencies are starting to worry a little bit, as ktvu's alex savidge reports. they're hoping the new year will bring more rain. >> reporter: it's been a bone- dry year across california. san francisco is poised to set a record with just over five and a half inches of rainfall. and anxiety is growing at bay area water agencies.

east bay mud sierra watershed has picked up just 4.5 inches of rain since october. >> that is less than 30% of average. that's where we're worried. even with the lack of rainfall this year, east bay mud's reservoirs are still 68% full. that's very close to average. but the next few months are critical. this water in storage won't last long. if the agency doesn't see significant rainfall soon, a drought could be the next step. everyone here will be watching the forecast closely. >> cautiously monitoring the rainfall situation and the snow situation. in february, if things don't begin to change, then we will begin to take steps to prepare. >> reporter: the board will decide in may whether to declare a drought, meaning either volunteer or mandatory water rationing. already people in parts of

sacramento county are being required to cut water use by 20%. there is no rain or snow in the forecast anywhere in the state, between now and the end of the year. alex savidge, ktvu channel 2 news. >> reservoirs in the south bay are about 34% of normal right now. santa clara county water officials say creeks are drying up, causing problems for wildlife that depend on the water. conditions are not prompting mandatory water conservation yet. they say usually those decisions are made later in the winter. we've been tracking the dry weather all year. >> ken, one day of measurable rainfall in december. we're really falling behind in terms of rainfall. in terms of drought, a good portion of the state, that is a moderate drought. we're also watching out for that red area, approaching the bay area. that is a severe drought. that's all the result of not much in the way of rainfall so

far for this early rainfall county, -- count, as far as the season. we're not going to add a drop of rainfall to these totals. santa rosa, only 8.5 inches of rainfall this year. san jose, 3.8. in terms of san francisco, in fact, a good portion of the state, this will be the dryest calendar year on record. san francisco, the dryest was in 1917, with 9 inches. but we're clearly going to beat that. as i mentioned, we are confident no more raindrops in our forecast over the next few days. coming up in a few minutes, the temperature change you can expect for tomorrow. and i'll let you know if we have any rain clouds on our five-day forecast. once again, coming up in ten minutes. >> thank you, mark. air quality officials did not issue a spare the air alert for tomorrow and that ends a seven-day streak. conditions are expected to improve tomorrow. the spare the air alert today bans wood burning, indoors and out, unless it's your only

regular season. the crowd gave their full attention to the big screen. fans had their own ideas about what today's win in seattle will mean for a possible rematch in the play-offs. >> i think seattle winning today, it's just going to give them a lot more confidence than they deserve to have. i think we're going to walk all over them when we see them again in the play-offs. >> fred inglis will have all the details on today's game and all the sporting news a little later on in sports wrap. there is still a slim chance that this video from last monday night's game at candlestick won't be the last pictures ever taken of a game there. if both teams win, there could be one more postseason game at candlestick park. i think it's tough. >> the new year bringing new laws for everyone on the road. what you need to know come

support will be enough. so children like arthur can further foster a love and understanding of wildlife. in walnut creek, ktvu channel 2 news. a woman suffering from alzheimer's disease who went missing last night in alameda has been found safe. harriet disappeared after going out for a walk with her dog. police launched a ground and air search. today we learned holbrook was found safe with her dog. if it seemed a little warmer than usual out there today, you're right. mark is in the weather center. we set some records? >> yes, we set some records. 60's and even a few low 70's. low 70's. one of those records was out towards oakland. oakland downtown, 73 degrees. san francisco, 66. that was a record. in mountain view, tying a

prevent accidents like we've seen this past year by requiring cars to keep a minimum distance of three feet when passing cyclists. >> that will be great. >> reporter: the new bike law may be the most significant traffic law this coming year. but there are others. drivers who have green or white carpool lane stickers can use them longer. they're now extended to 2019. metal license plates and registration stickers may soon be a thing of the past. a new bill let's the dmv come up with something new, such as traffic plates. leaving the new bike law dubbed three feet for safety as the only one that impacts all drivers, cyclists like it but wonder, who is really going to measure request -- going to measure? >> i think it's tough to enact, how you make sure that each car is three feet away.

congressional republicans defended their assertion that al-qaeda was involved in last year's attack on the u.s. consulate in benghazi, libya. this weekend, the new york times reported its investigations, based on interviews in benghazi with people with direct knowledge on the attack, turned up no evidence that al-qaeda or other international terrorist groups had any role in the assault. but the question is, where? how do you define the group involved in the attack? >> the group that was involved, which they say was involved, is part of the al-qaeda network. while it's not officially linked to al-qaeda, in all the years i've been briefed on intelligence matters, they are considered part of the al-qaeda network. >> the new york sometimes describes the group as an independent militia and a purely local extremist organization. days after the attack, the obama administration said it

was inspired by spontaneous street protests that got out of hand. members of congress reacted to edward snowden's statement that his mission is accomplished. he said that he wanted the public to know about nsa spying and that he wants future decisions about preventing terrorism made openly. a new york congressman, peter king, says snowden did real damage. >> what snowden has done has unraveled a significant part of the defenses we had set up after september 11, not just defense but some of our preemptive abilities, to stop something before it happens. >> snowden's team says it's time for the supreme court to take up whether the nsa spying is legal. lower courts have had controversial rulings. new leaks exposing practices by the nsa's hacker unit that reportedly affected

january 6, 7, 8, there is a chance we could have a pattern change. but still, too far out to go into detail just yet. tomorrow morning, in the clear. but then i was talking about those high clouds moving in from the north, between 3, 4 and 5:00 tomorrow. your monday forecast, definitely want to bundle up first thing tomorrow morning. the coolest spots, upper 20's. but widespread 30's, low to mid- 40's. by lunchtime, 57 to 62. by the afternoon, everybody cooling off. no more 70's but still the warmest locations, fairly warm for this time of year. mid- to upper 60's. your five-day forecast, making plans for new year's eve, you just need the jacket, because temperatures dropping off quickly. but no umbrellas needed. 2014 starts out the same 2013 ended, still basically try. the mild weather pattern sticks around. to day 6 and 7, with your

weekend always in view, rain clouds remain a distant stranger. this pattern, it's amazing how long it's here. this is just locked in over the bay area. >> but we both have been here a long, long time and we know we can get that rain in january and february and make up for this. >> especially if we get a sequence of storms. that could definitely make an impact. >> we'll keep our fingers crossed. since you're a surfer, is this a shark or is it a dolphin? you see the area circled there. this picture was taken in manhattan beach, southern california. it was shot by a mother showing her 12-year-old son and her friend what some folks say is a shark, right behind them. other people think it's a dolphin. what do you think? >> i've seen that happen definitely with dolphins, kind of cruising through the lineup out there. there is a chance. it's so hard to tell, from this angle, but there is a possibility.

>> i tweeted it so you can take a closer look. the mother said she was glad the animal didn't come any closer to her son. hundreds of oakland school children got to hear from an oakland raider and then watched the game for free. the first in goal program by the raiders has been busy this year, arranging for 800 students to attend each regular- season home game. today's speaker was tony stewart, who told the students preparation and practice are two keys to success. >> i have four kids of my own. anytime we take them to an experience like this, it changes them, i think, for the better. it gives them a new lens to look at life through. gives them just hope. >> after the program, students were treated to lunch before being escorted to their seats to watch today's game. coming up, the raiders wrap up their season against the broncos. and we found out who the niners will face in the play-offs. sports wrap with fred is next.

good evening, everyone. and thanks for joining our early sunday edition of sports wrap. the play-off-bound 49ers had to sweat one out today in arizona's 65-degree weather. but they survived. their reward? a trip to the frozen tundra! colin kaepernick, the former cardinals receiver boldin. nine catches, 149 yards today. niners score off their first three possessions. short and sweet. 17-0 first quarter. but cardinals score is the next 17 points to tie it.

carson palmer, the perfect pass. that's a great throw, great catch. 17-17. then it became a kicking game. phil dawson kicked a field goal. a buck 45 left in the game. jay drills this 43-yarder that tied it with 29 seconds left. 20-20. looks like overtime to me. but hold on. kaepernick to quinnton patton. he just earned his stripes! dawson missed unearlier -- missed one earlier today. but he's going to connect now. just as time runs outs! 49ers survive, 23-20. your final. they finish with a 12-and-4 record. arizona, they're 10-and-6 but they missed the play-off. frank gore ran for just 14 yards. now they know they're going to play a team they beat in week 1, green bay!

and those packers, with their quarterback aaron rodgers, who broke his collarbone eight weeks ago, well, rodgers got revenge today. 4th and 8, now or never! now! rodgers for the 48-yard touchdown. green bay wins to claim the afc north. 49ers are headed to lambeau, folks. today, seahawks beat the visiting rams. big play from seattle's strength. what else? its defense. thank you! seattle wins 27-9 to clinch the top seed and home field advantage. future hall of fame tight end tony -- gonzalez was honored today in atlanta. picked off by melvin white

here. quarterback cam newton. carolina wins, 21-20. number 1 seed and number 2 seed carolina earn a first-round bye. 49ers visit green bay next weekend. terrelle pryor had another chance today to prove to all the raiders and all the raider nation that he is their quarterback of the future. he did throw two late td passes and set a new team rushing record by a quarterback. but he's no peyton manning. peyton manning added to his new record for most touchdown passes in a single season. there in oakland. he already had his 52nd of the season. then adds his 53rd when knowshon moreno runs it. raiders had just three first downs in the first half. broncos had 16! they're chasing but not

catching. 63-yard touchdown. 24-0. manning needed 256 yards to set a single-season record for passing. of course, he gets to exactly 266 on that toss to thomas. they win 31-14. raiders finish 4-and-12 for the second straight season. san diego chargers are the third afc west team to make the play-offs. today, kansas city, well, they were already in, so they held off their starting quarterback. nick novak kicks the goal in overtime. but the chiefs get a chance to win the game. but chase daniel -- it's just not gonna happen. chargers win their last four games, to sneak in as the final seed of the afc. so, top seed, denver. second seed, new england. they get next week off. chargers travel to cincinnati. chiefs play at indianapolis. the day and the times for those play-offs should be announced at our 10:00 sports wrap.
