mornings on two starts right now. . 7:00. we are live this morning. check this out. a lot of standing water and people assessing the flood damage. allew savage is -- alex savage is there. why people are still worried the flooding may get worse even though the rain has let up. i'm tori campbell. >> good morning. i'm dave clark. let's talk about wealth and traffic. steve paulson said don't put the umbrella away yet. >> it is coming right in quick. there is a line off san francisco punching in right about now that is punching in heavy rain appeared lightning and thunder. right on the marine coast. looks like it split and go right over the bridge off san francisco toward the san mateo coast and off santa cruz. it is picking up the intensity.

tibia ron looks like it is stretching back. nothing too heavy yet but the line is just beginning to move on shore and also right santa cruz coast it is moving toward the monterey peninsula dipping south. it has been a lot of dripping rain. just general rain. cloverdale, it has been picking up in coverage. some of the rain totals in the last thishours. incredible amounts. east janet rosa 7.67. heaviest one day total in nine years i think that's what you said kevin. redwood shores, valleo over four. that is incredible. oak mond, cobb mount and lake county have five and a quarter. area rain fall is just the least amount percentage wise is santa rosa at 16. the most is mountain view. 155%. san jose is 200 % of normal with more rain coming in.

that will go tohundred %. finally dip below 60s but 60-degree water itemps and the cold air coming off is going to feed into possible thunderstorm development right . brief heavy rain coming in. it will be a chilly day today so keep that in mind. snow in the sierra. winter storm warning until 10 a.m.. they'll get pretty good show to 500 feet as well. showers, clouds, possible thunder showers and 50s on your temperatures. things are picking up here. >> we're seeing more slow traffic. today might be a worse traffic day than yesterday even though the stwoorm yesterday because more people are on the road. we'll show you the san mateo bridge is crowded and it will be raining as steve said like a normal rain day and not like storm-mageddon yesterday. the traffic is backed up to a 20-30-minute drive. nothing too bad on the bridge itself. we're looking at contra costa

county. the road sensors aren't showing a lot of show traffic. it is looking okay on 680. 7:03, let's go back to the desk. the bay area is starting to dry out. we're still seeing some showers however, we're feeling the lingering effects of yesterday's monster storm. alex savage is live where usually busy road near 101 has been closed for hours because of all of the standing water behind us. >> that is the problem. we're still waiting for the waters to recede here in this part. many roads remain closed this morning. you can see someone behind us, here. they just ditched their suv during yesterday's massive storm because of on the going boulevard. north, right behind us remains shut down in both directions this morning morning. this is what two looked like

this evening people were caught off guard and the river went over the banks many of them were guided by firefighters to nearby shelters where they remain for the night we caught up with one family who's whus swam swamped by the water. >> 45 minutes later, the garage, an hour later, right here. is it in your snous. >> not yet. most likely it wi. >> as the rain kept falling there, were rescues in the area as well. about a dozen people who were working in an industrial part were put into rafts or loaded into high profile trucks in order to get home. they simply could not drive home from work because of all of the standing water. as we bring you back live to a live picture, you're looking at some of the work crews here, they're working, waiting for the water to go down in this area.

in the meantime. this major though fair remains closed. we'll send it back to you. >> hats off to the crews that have been working extremely long and soggy hours to keep things moving. we'll check back for an update. thank you. it is 7:06. the safe way supermarket is closed indefinitely after the rain caused the roof to collapse. it happened yesterday afternoon at the safe way on east kolt sxresz way near -- east capitol expressway. a section of the roof came crumbling down. fortunately there were very few customers inside the supermarket at the time due to the big storm. there was just one minor injury but the roof collapse caused very dense moments. >> you could hear it. it was wa loud. it just -- it was loud. it just sounded like thunder. i felt a lot of adrenaline going and going and i just had to call

911 and just freaked out. >> firefighters now fear the whole roof could cave in and san jose safety inspectors red tagged the building until they're certain it is safe. time is 7:06. this week's monster storm caused incredible scenes you rarely see here in the bay area. take a look at this. this is berkley, that is the roof of a car that is barely above water. it is one of three cars that went under water after the under pass flooded along ashby avenue near interstate 80 in berkley. the people who live in this area say this part of ashby often has standing water even on a dry tay. >> this under crossing is wet july 1st. there is always water under it. so i don't know why anybody would try to ride through it. >> boy. the highway crews worked well past midnight to get the cars out of here and reopen that under pass. >> that is an amazing picture. bay area airports are

getting back to normal after the big problems tied to the big storm. the duty manager at san francisco international tells us there are only nine cancellations this morning. that is a huge improvement over the more than 250 cancellations at sfo yesterday. no major problems are expected at the two airports in oakland and san jose. however, you should still contact your airline ahead of time before heading off to the airport this morning. in the meantime, many travellers heading to sfo may be hungry as they wait for their flight. a strike by 1,000 airport workers. they walked off the job over job security and healthcare. the strike impacted the vast majority of the airports restaurants at the peak of the storm. the workers are expected to be back on the job tom. barts annual safety escort program will be under way tomorrow. it is helping curve crime

. >> now crews told that you say this tree is probably about nine stories high and it sits on a creek bank that has been known to flood before. in fact, the tree next to the one that fell appears to be leaning. if we can pan over to it it is leaning to the right. there crews arrived on scene to take a look. they'll be cleaning up this tree and perhaps trying to decide if this other one is stable. now, none of the neighbors we noticed have evacuated yet but that could obviously change if this other tree is in danger of coming down. live from union city, i'm tara moriarty. back to you. 7:37. many bay area school district that's cancelled classes yesterday are open this morning. but several school districts will remain closed today. they include nevado, santa rosa and heels burg. other areas in hard hit sonoma will be closed.

thorough fair. that is petaluma closed still because of the standing water. here is the problem they had yesterday. this is what things looked like in the early evening hours around high tide. many caught of guard as wears rose quickly in this area. people and pets waded through the water and many bream taken to shelters. firefighters drove through this community checking to make sure everyone was okay. we caught up with one family who told us the rising flood waters left them with a giant mess. >> all of our stuff is ruined around christmas time. our christmas, trees wet. it is frustrating and scary. now we don't know when we'll be able to come home or find somewhere to live. >> and all of that rain yesterday led also to rescues in this area. this was the scene in an industrial part of petaluma. an or so people had to be taken home from work on rafts or high profile trucks yesterday. they just simply couldn't drive
