of rain to fall in the water russian watershed from these storms. much of the water that these agencies collect, they collect locally from rain. at the marin headlands, ken pritchett. >> stay with the 10:00 news for complete coverage. bill will bring us updates with live stormtracker 2. you can also get weather information anytime on your mobile device. follow ktvu meteorologists on the ktvu app, on twitter, and facebook. a two month investigation of an auto theft ring. officers say what they found at a warehouse just scratches the surface. ktvu's amber lee is live now at the scene on 36th avenue and east 9th in the fruitvale district, and tells us why officers say it's a gold mine. >> reporter: the raid took place behind me in this storage yard. the task force will be

kayleigh or her family will remain a secret. he helped write the california law that requires the disclosure of information after a child's death. >> the law also requires that only one factor can really determine whether the court withholds information or not. and that's the well-being, or interest of another child. >> reporter: without any known siblings, it's why grim questions the decision to keep the information secret. for now, county officials are asking the public to take them at their word. >> we have absolutely followed our protocol. we have made no errors in any of the work we've done in child welfare. >> reporter: despite that statement, they are now looking at ways to possibly improve policies and procedures. we could learn more information in this case, once a coroner's report is complete. in napa, eric rasmussen, ktvu, channel 2 news. now to the south bay, where police say a fight led to the

secure. >> we're doing more now than before to improve the security. >> reporter: what's affective? he says the system gets 10,000 hits a day from hackers. >> can they do very much? no, because they can't stay very long. >> they're trying. >> they're trying. easily, in the u.s., easily. just random stuff. >> reporter: he says the biggest threat would be a cyber and physical attack. but insists security has increased since 9/11, and says the focus remains on both, preventing lights from going out, and making sure we know how to get them back on. in oakland, claudine wong, ktvu, channel 2 news. light shower streaming in off the pacific. the morning commute is going to be a wet one. you see the heavy showers toward sacramento and davis. here's your morning. late tonight, midnight, the main showers start to move onshore. about 5:00, 6:00, a.m., you get

study looked at medical, and pharmaceutical records. they discovered the hormone is associated with double the risk of blood clotting when compared to earlier oral contraceptive formulas. however, doctors note the risk with any oral contraceptive is still lower than the clotting risk associated with pregnancy. what the alexanders discovered next, involves more than just women. >> if you're taking a brand name drug, you can see the manufacturer for problems with side-effects and death, but she was on the generic drug, so we have no recourse. >> reporter: in 1992, the fda started requiring generic drug labels match the brand name versions. the goal, assure doctors generics were equivalent to brand names. since then, a series of supreme court queries has led to sweeping protections for the makers of generic drugs.

including a court ruling you can't hold generic drug makers liable for failing to warn consumers of the risk. >> right now, the law is in the state of chaos, where no exhumer has any rights at all, directly against a generic pharmaceutical company. we all scratch our heads not knowing what to do with it. >> reporter: the fda is considering a rule change. it would allow generic manufacturers to update labels independent of brand name counterparts. that would help inform consumers about risks sooner. but in the meantime, women need to consider all birth control options. >> they're both other methods that are more affective, and safer, like interuterine devices and implants, then 50 different oral contraceptive pills on the market as well. >> reporter: generic manufacturers are fighting changes, and ask the fda to take more time considering them

in this letter. the changes, as proposed will have far reaching consequences, affecting patient safety as well as healthcare costs. but that argument isn't enough for jane and michael alexander, who are holding out hope for change. >> it's too late for us. it's too late for lauren. but it's not too late for other people who are harmed by generic drugs. >> reporter: right now, the public comment period for the rule change closes in march, but a decision could take months, even years. ktvu, channel 2 news. if you have a tip for 2 investigates, we'd like to hear from you. the cvs pharmacy chain says it will stop selling be tobacco

onboard. toothpaste tubes could be used to smuggle bombs on planes. that warning came from homeland security today. >> it's a tip of type of venue where, you know terrorists kind of gravitate toward it. >> reporter: he worries about the safety of the olympic games, which terrorists have promised to disrupt. >> they're going to require passengers to, you know, put the liquids in the checked luggage. they've got to adjust, based on the intelligence. unfortunately, the passengers are victimized by all of this stuff. >> reporter: homeland security's warning was directed toward u.s. carriers, mainly delta airlines, which runs a direct flight out of new york. >> i believe the games will be safe, but we're in a very different setting in sochi, than we were in salt lake city. sochi is a very dangerous neighborhood. >> reporter: mitt romney today called for more information

about the specific intelligence to help the tsa, airline, and passengers prepare. rick smith says it's likely on a need to know basis. >> i'd like to think there's more specific intelligence on what they're looking for, other than just a toothpaste tube. >> reporter: sfo had little to say about this terrorist warning, only that it didn't have any information to share, so here at sfo, and at airports across the world, ahead of the olympics, there's a lot of trepidation, separation, and hoping for the best. even though opening ceremonies for the winter games are scheduled for friday, not everything is ready. construction work is still being done on several hotels, and a lot of journalists are reporting their rooms are lacking many of the basics, such as light bulbs, shower curtains, locks on the doors, not to mention heat, or internet access. in places where there is
