>> this is mornings on two. >> welcome to mornings on two. it is 459 i'm andre senior. >> i'm gasia mikaelian. >> it's friday, december 27th. let's get outside. rosemary oroczo. it was pouring overnight in our house. >> yeah. standing water along the freeway as i was driving in. good morning to both of you. happy friday if you are getting out for that early morning commute, be prepared. you're going to find slick roadways. some rain still falling in areas. and again, we do have the potential for some flooding with advisories for the east bay for the next hour or two. meanwhile, it's a warmer start to the morning. temperatures in the 50s. relatively mild, a little breezy, so we're going to go rainy breezy for your morning hours, followed by mostly cloudy, mainly dry weather for the afternoon. a high surf advisory remains for the coast through the weekend. a better look at the current conditions and what we can expect for the weekend. coming up in just a little bit. andre. >> rosemary, thank you so much. all right. let's take a look at

the roads this morning. here's a look at the richmond san rafael bridge. roads are wet as rosemary just mentioned a moment ago, so be careful. but traffic isn't too bad here. a look at 880 this morning, and a similar scene that we've seen the last couple of days here. we understand that there is a crash at the caldecott tunnel. we're trying to get some more information for you about which direction it's in and the severity of the crash. we'll share that information once we get it. well, this morning, the islamic center of san francisco, right now, they're alerting the community about a man who they say harassed muslims outside that mosque. >> the islamic center says the man was right in front of the mosque for about 50 minutes. we have some video here in which we see the man walking around appears to be holding a hammer and ripping pages out of the koran. if you see the individual police are asking you to contact them immediately. happening today, a man accused of fatally setting a woman on fire in a new york city subway is set to appear in court. 33 year old sebastian zepeda is charged with two counts of murder, one count of arson in what is believed to be a random attack. police say zepeda approached a woman on a coney island subway train who

may have been sleeping, and used a lighter to set her clothes on fire. the woman has not been identified. >> a judge has ruled that a woman who says she was raped by jay-z and sean diddy combs can proceed. her lawsuit against the rap mogul anonymously for the time being, at least. according to the suit, the sexual attack happened back in 2000 at an awards show afterparty. the plaintiff reports being just 13 years old at the time. the manhattan judge says the woman may be required to reveal her identity if the case proceeds, and this would allow the defense to collect facts to prepare for trial. jay-z called the allegations part of an extortion attempt. >> among the several new laws that will go into effect in the new year, one is designed to protect bank customers who try to withdraw money from atms but don't have enough in their accounts. the new law bans state regulated banks and credit unions from charging additional fees when an attempt to withdraw money is immediately declined because of insufficient funds. >> it has been shown that nsf fees are most likely to be

assessed on financially vulnerable consumers, increasing financial strain while also negatively affecting the consumer's overall perception of the banking system. >> the governor also signed a bill into law saying credit union overdraft fees can be no more than $14 unless a lower federal limit is set. that becomes law in 2026. another new law is sb 969. it allows governments to choose zones where bars and restaurants can sell alcoholic drinks. another law says school districts will no longer be allowed to create policies requiring teachers or staff to disclose a student's gender identity. starting next year, a law allows school boards to limit students ability to use social media while on campus. also in 2025, employers will no longer require employees to use their paid vacation time for sick and or sick and family leave before accessing state benefits. >> 503 now, a new bill would make fitness centers across the country more accessible for americans with disabilities. it would require gyms to have one employee trained in working with

people with disabilities on the clock during operational hours. gyms would also need to offer fitness instruction to that group. a similar bill failed earlier this year. california saw its biggest increase in registered lobbyists last season in almost 15 years. the secretary of state's office says there are more than 3200 lobbyists for the 20 2324 session. that's roughly 10% more than the previous session. there's now at least one lobbyist for every staff member, compared to two staffers per lobbyist back in 1995. >> as more skiers and snowboarders are heading up to lake tahoe this weekend, caltrans is reminding drivers that chains will likely be required at various times on the two main highways linking the bay area to lake tahoe. throughout the weekend on highway 50, chain restrictions were just lifted. but of course, you should know to keep chains with you when you're traveling to the mountains. chains are required on parts of interstate 80. now, some people we talked to were not prepared for these conditions. >> i got a little freaked out, so i called my parents and so

they were like, just pull over, see what you guys can do. and so like i said, we just stopped over and they were kind enough to help. >> we got stuck in the snow and hour and we couldn't put on these chains, and he helped us put this on. i don't think we could have pulled this off. >> the chp says they're not alone. many people head up to the sierra without being prepared. let's take a live look at what's happening here at interstate 80. we'll talk about the sierra snow all weekend, because a lot of people choose to get out of town starting now. >> yeah they do. even i was thinking about going up there, but i want to check the weather with rosemary oroczo before that ever happens, because i do not want to get stuck up there at all. rosemary, good morning to you. >> yes, good morning to you. we do have some rain and sierra snow continuing over california guys. and it is something that is going to last at least for the next few hours. here's a look at storm tracker two. again, we are beginning to see it let up. as you can see a lot going on over the sacramento, san joaquin valley and in the sierra. the snow continues to fall as well. but take a look at all these storm reports that occurred in the last few hours

or so, some coming in during the overnight hours closer to 2 a.m. in sonoma. chp reporting flooding there and multiple reports in the north bay of flooding. if we head to the east bay, this one at 444 this morning, 1 to 2 lanes flooded there in emeryville, and i'll shift. one more time into santa clara, where chp reported a foot of standing water on saratoga on ramp to 280. there also occurring early this morning. the flood advisories will go for the next hour or two. this one over areas of the east bay until 6.15. in the shade of green in the north bay closer to 7:00. and as we move closer here, this section is a flood warning for low lying flooding occurring near our streams, our creeks, and some of those flood prone areas in the sonoma area between windsor, sebastopol, over towards rohnert park. this will go until 230 this afternoon. the advisory along our coastline is extended until sunday morning. we could see large breaking

waves anywhere from 15 to 22ft and a few isolated areas closer to 30. so a lot going on, especially along our coastline. roadways slick in the sierra. the winter weather advisory goes until noontime. so based on the timing of these advisories, you can tell we're kind of in the thick of it right now. as we get into the second part of the day, it does begin to wind down and will be mostly cloudy but mainly dry getting into the afternoon. it's also a breezy one out there. sfo reporting a 38mph. and as i mentioned at the top of the hour, relatively mild temperatures are in the mid to upper 50s even a few low 60s in areas like novato. that's a look at the current conditions. i'll have a look at the afternoon highs and what we can expect going into your weekend. coming up in just a little bit. >> rosemary. thank you. large and powerful waves churning off the coast. the urgent warning from officials to stay away from the water. >> it's been a tough season for the 40 niners, especially for kicker jake moody. we hear from coach kyle shanahan about the struggles moody is facing, and

has tossed out the 2020 rape

conviction of former san francisco 49ers star dana stubblefield. the appellate court ruled santa clara county prosecutors violated the law when they said stubblefield's race was a factor in the decision by law enforcement officers to not search his house, which is a violation of the california racial justice act. >> the mega millions jackpot is up to $1.15 billion after no one won on tuesday night. the next drawing is tonight at eight. you need to buy a ticket by seven. if the winner chooses the cash option cash option, they'll get to take home more than $516 million. today is another particularly busy day at airports across the nation, with people returning home from christmas or flying out to ring in the new year. we'll turn to ktvu amanda quintana live at oakland. international records could be broken again here. amanda. >> yes, that is right. so we've been covering this holiday travel for a few days now. and we keep saying these records are going to be broken, but it actually hasn't been that bad for a lot of bay area travelers. even though there's rain right

now, not a lot of traffic getting to the oakland airport. and then i did just run in and check the tsa line. not too bad. you know, people are able to kind of walk up, stand in line for maybe ten minutes and then get in there. so pretty good right now. but it is early and we are expecting a record number of travelers this holiday season. triple a has predicted more than 119 million americans will travel at least 50 miles from home between this past saturday and january 1st. that's narrowly beating out 2019 numbers. now, in the days leading up to christmas, tsa saw more people go through travel checkpoints than last year, recording about 2.8 million people each day. but those numbers went down a bit on christmas eve and christmas day. now they are expected to pick back up as people head home here at the oakland airport. they've been predicting 500,000 passengers will pass through the airport between last friday and january 6th, which is pretty similar to what they saw here last year. most passengers we've

spoken to this holiday season, they say they don't mind traveling during a time when they know that airports will be busy, but some have been extra prepared after having to deal with past experiences that were bad. two years ago. >> we didn't make it because of all the southwest and every other airline. so we were at sfo till 3 a.m. when they finally said the flights weren't going through. >> so feeling better this year? >> yes. so far this is really nice. it's not too crowded. >> now. i did check the cancellations and delays. there are a handful of delays, but really maybe a couple hours. nothing too bad. so it doesn't seem like the rain or any weather here is affecting the flights leaving. okay right now live in oakland. amanda quintana ktvu, fox two news. >> amanda thank you. all right, watch this. a monstrous wave crashes into a surfer. check this out. this happened in hawaii. ty simpson kane was

surfing off maui's north shore when he was met with the super sized wave. in the video, you can see him flip several times before disappearing under the wave. thankfully, he came out alive when he was brought back to safety with the help of emergency personnel. well, the u.s. coast guard is credited with saving a man and his dog after the owner struggled to steer his sailboat through crashing waves. stormy winds on christmas morning led the sailboat aground in northwest washington. deputies say they got a call about a man stuck on his boat. a coast guard rescue swimmer later arrived on scene and let the dog and his owner back to shore safely. >> it's been a week of dangerous and destructive waves at northern california beaches. the national weather service is warning the danger is not over yet. it's now extended the high surf advisory through the weekend. some waves crashing into bay area beaches could be as high as 30ft over the next few days. >> that's horrifying. >> they look pretty rough. i've seen them pretty bad before and

it's just kind of stay away. >> first responders are reminding people to never turn their back on the ocean and say, this weekend, it's really best to avoid bay area beaches entirely due to the dangerous surf. >> well, today is the last day for a free ferry trip program from richmond to san francisco. the free ferry ride between richmond and san francisco started november 1st. the trip between both locations takes about 35 minutes. the richmond ferry operates 14 trips per day on weekdays and five on weekends. one way trip will now cost you $4.70 starting tomorrow, kids under five ride for free. >> it's been almost a year now since the 49ers beat the detroit lions to win the nfc championship last january. now, as the two teams prepare to face each other on monday night, their fortunes look much different. the niners will finish this season below 500. the lions are among the favorites to go to the super bowl. the 40 niners offensive line is dealing with a number of injuries, and now there are concerns about kicker jake

moody, who's missed seven of 30 field goal attempts this season, including six in the past seven games. >> i still feel the same about him that i believe is going to be our guy. i mean, everyone's got to perform and do things like that, and i think he has had a tough year. >> the biggest thing is to just stay consistent. not change anything, not, you know, change your mindset, your physical, you know, like the warm ups or your form or anything like that. >> okay. the lions head coach says his young team is more mature and experienced this time around. >> but until you get into that with a heavyweight real champion who'd been there numerous times, you don't always know. and so i think that experience is difficult as it was served us well. so you got an opportunity with the team that that got the best of you. and so you just want to go out and find a way to get a win. >> the niners are three and a half point home underdogs for monday's game. near the end of what's been a disappointing season, the 49ers are doing all

they can to boost morale. we talked with two members of the gold rush cheerleading team, who gave us a preview of a free fan rally this weekend. >> you can expect giveaways, 49ers alumni, sourdough sam. the gold rush, of course will be there. it will be super fun. great time for our community and the faithful to get together one last time for the season in the bay. >> fans are encouraged to spread the word and come decked out in red and gold. the niners fan rally is sunday from 10 to 1 at big apple silicon valley restaurant on ranch drive in milpitas. the event is free. retired pro bowl running back ricky watters is expected to be there. >> sounds like it's going to be a fun time. all right. even though, you know, considering the season that we had, but still a reason to celebrate. why not cheer on the team for next year? yeah. all right, let's turn things over to rosemary oroczo now, because rain is something we've been dealing with. took the dog out for a walk this morning. you got soaking wet. you didn't care as long as he got to be outside. yes, yes, with the rain. >> absolutely. good morning to both of you. hopefully you don't mind the rain. it is with us this morning. good news. it is

beginning to wind down. and as we get into the second part of the morning, early afternoon, we'll call for mostly cloudy skies and just a chance of scattered showers. but wow, we have seen a good amount in the last 24 hours or so, and you can see that morning commute is going to be a slick one, even hazardous with some flooding reported on freeways and roadways. take it easy. we have anywhere from a quarter inch reported in livermore over the last 24 hours to half inch in oakland, almost three quarters of san francisco. and then you get to the north bay in mill valley, more than 2.5in reported in the last 24 hours. and this is why we are seeing some advisories for flooding, especially in the sonoma area. we have an advisory in marin, also in the east bay, that will go until about 6 or 7:00 or so. so for the next couple of hours, do expect it. it is going to move through. and by the afternoon again we will be mostly cloudy, mainly dry and then unsettled a little bit for the weekend until the next storm

arrives on sunday. here's a look at the futurecast for your lunch hour. notice just the gray overhead into saturday morning, calling for a few scattered showers. not that big of a deal. sunday right now looks to be the next opportunity for the widespread rain to return to the bay area, and it could come early on. meanwhile, under the soggy, breezy conditions, temperatures are 5 to 10 degrees warmer compared to yesterday. upper 50s in san francisco even 60 degrees reported in concord at this hour and for the afternoon, we are going to remain with low 60s for our bayside communities as well as along the coast 60 for pacifica, 62 in oakland, 62 in concord. if you are just joining us, the high surf advisory continues, as we've been talking about into early sunday morning, not only in the water but on our beaches, it is going to be hazardous into the extended forecast. temperatures will remain in the low 60s across the region, getting into saturday, sunday, monday into tuesday. as we take

a look at the icons there. notice. unsettled weather will remain in the forecast for saturday, and then a return of rain and showers for sunday. we get past this soggy pattern through the weekend, and right now, the final days of december and the start of the new year looks to be partly cloudy and dry. back to you. wow. >> two weekends in a row. rain. we had it last weekend and this weekend as well. rosemary, thank you so much. jobless claims have slipped. why? people are staying on unemployment benefits longer despite the dip in numbers. >> early birds are likely getting ready for tax season. if you want to save yourself from scrambling around in april, we'll tell you what you can do in the next four ys to help

- i had health insurance before. (discouraged) so expensive. i mean, i'm helping my mom out, i don't have that kinda cash. - ugh, i know. but you can get financial help now through covered california. it's totally affordable. you'd be surprised. they've got this calculator thing that shows how much you'll pay. - for real? - yeah! what are you doing not having health insurance, man? - hey, i know, i know... - here, let me show you... - we all have questions. covered california has answers and can find a health plan that's right for you. covered california. this way to health insurance.

in a sense, the number of americans filing new applications for unemployment last week dropped to the lowest we've seen in a month, according to the labor department. initial claims at the state level fell by 1000 to a seasonally adjusted 219,000 for the week ending december 21st. meanwhile, those receiving unemployment benefits are staying on them longer as hiring rates have slowed. while most people are focused on their new year's eve celebrations, it's also time to prepare for the upcoming tax season. >> fox's connor hansen details tips heading into 2025 to avoid a large tax bill come april. >> as the holiday season comes to a close, so does the 2024 tax year. and with as much money as many of us have likely spent these past few months, the

internal revenue service is urging people now to take steps early to prepare to file their federal tax returns and consider what may be owed in the months ahead. >> first of all, it's a good time to get organized. >> bank rates senior industry analyst ted rossman says getting organized can not only shrink your upcoming tax bill, but can help keep a little more of that hard earned cash in your wallet. >> you want to start gathering relevant records, like if you've sold investments this year, financial experts suggest contributing as much as possible to retirement accounts, they say. >> doing so can not only reduce your upcoming tax bill, but boost retirement savings down the road. and if you or a loved one expect to incur educational expenses for k-12 or college, a 529 plan before year end is a strategy for allowing your money to grow tax deferred. >> you also want to look at any

tax credits that you're eligible for. also, there has been changes to the tax brackets. so you want to see how that might potentially affect your income, or rather the taxes that you have to pay for next year. >> making year end charitable contributions have traditionally also been a way to reduce taxes while helping others. >> it definitely makes sure i confirm what the standard deduction is to look to see where my donations fit against that. >> the irs is expected to begin accepting returns mid-january, but you will have until april 15th to file unless you have an extension in new york. connor hanson, fox news. >> president elect trump has named his pick for u.s. ambassador of panama. why it comes at a pivotal time for u.s. relations. with that key country violence escalating in the middle east. >> the new attacks lau d by

with the building's managers are looking into now, and what they say to the tenants. >> from ktvu, fox two news. this is mornings on two. >> good morning and welcome back. i'm gasia mikaelian. >> i'm andre senior. thank you for joining us. it is 528. this morning it's friday, december 27th. a lot of people getting ready to celebrate the weekend if they don't have to work, but it's going to be a little bit wet. so let's check out the rosemary oroczo for an update on that. >> yes. keep that umbrella handy guys. good morning. happy friday to you and to all of you out there. if you're getting out onto the roadways any time soon, be prepared. we do have ponding on our roadways. we have some low lying flooding going on out there. here's a look at the dark start over the oakland skyline. the system is moving out of the bay area, and later this morning into the early part of the afternoon, we will be left with mostly cloudy conditions and just a chance of sprinkles. meanwhile, this morning it is a mild one. we've got temperatures in the upper 50s to low 60s, with low 60s expected for the

second part of the day. high surf advisory continues here at home. we have winter weather advisories for the sierra. a better look at the current conditions and what we can expect for the rest of the weekend. coming up in just a little bit. garcia. thank you. >> let's take a quick trip around the bay area. from the comfort of your home, we can see that traffic is moving well down in the south bay. it's quite dark out there still, but interstate 280. no problem. congestion wise, north and southbound. a live look at what's happening at the bay bridge toll plaza. once again, the story is slick streets. a lot of people may be driving through standing water. might even have those windshield wipers going. but congestion is not a problem here. the golden gate bridge this morning also moving. well, there is no problem with the backup here at the golden gate, but just keep in mind that it's slick out there once again as you move between san francisco and marin counties. a state appellate court has tossed out the 2020 rape conviction of former san francisco 49ers dana stubblefield. >> the court ruled that conviction was in violation of the california racial justice act. the state's race, ethnicity, or national origin

cannot be used to convict or sentence criminal defendants, the appellate court ruled. santa clara county prosecutors violated the law when they said stubblefield's race was a factor in the decision by law enforcement officers to not search his house last night. ktvu asked stubblefield's lawyer for his client's reaction to the development. >> i don't know how to express his emotions other than it's just finally coming to an end, which he has been wishing for. and this holiday season, there's nothing that could be better for him and his family. >> stubblefield was sentenced to 15 years to life in prison for sex crimes, among other charges. that conviction, of course, now overturned. we've learned new information about a double homicide in the east bay. police in antioch say an attempted robber and his victim shot and killed each other outside of a bowling alley earlier this month. investigators don't think either men knew each other and believe it was an isolated incident. police in alameda are looking for two burglars who reportedly stole hundreds of packages from an apartment complex. ktvu zac sos spoke with

tenants who say this was not the first time. >> a neighbor of mine got home, came to get our packages and was literally in tears. >> tenants at an alameda apartment complex with a real-life grinch on their hands. >> that was kind of her christmas inside that room before it was taken. >> bob, who also lives at ballina village, had his stocking stuffers stolen. photos showing just a handful of gifts left in the package room after he says more than 100 were swiped just five days before christmas eve. >> the thing is, is it's just, you know, it's the holiday season. we're all, you know, working hard to pay our bills and, you know, stay above water. and then for people just to come and take from the people that work hard. >> alameda police say they're looking for two people who broke into the room. >> i'm glad that i only lost one thing. >> tenants like this woman who asked for her face not to appear on camera, relieved after being reimbursed, but still scrambling to buy new nintendo gear for her nephew. >> nobody has time to reassess or to what are we going to do

now that we don't have any presents to present? i spoke with another resident that lost like seven packages, so that very well could have been majority of their christmas. >> it's the second christmas in a row. residents say their packages have been pilfered by thieves, but there were also other times in between the two break ins in the span of a mont. >> during the holidays is not easy on anybody. >> all their mail is now temporarily being diverted elsewhere on property. >> i think the complex really is doing everything that they can. >> in a vaguely worded email to tenants building management apologizing for the quote incident, adding that it's investigating what happened and exploring options to relocate the package room. >> i think, you know, one, having a package room 20 yards from the main road is not the smartest idea. secondly, you know, the notifications came out after other residents, you know, were notifying each other and we're going into the office and making gripes. >> zac sos, ktvu, fox two news. >> thieves in oakland used a number of vehicles to ram into a

supermarket and steal an atm that was inside. this happened at the lucky supermarket in montclair. contractors working to board up the damage said this is the second time that store has been targeted. the montclair village association says the same thing happened on christmas eve, just a night before this break-in. >> this is a crime of opportunity in that after hours holiday season, nobody's going to be there. and so there's now ample opportunity to be able to grab the atm machine, break it open, get the cash out of there and get out of the area quickly. >> also on christmas eve, two similar smash and grab crimes happened at a restaurant in san leandro. later that same night, police say the same group of thieves drove a car into the gamestop there. if you have information on any of these burglaries, please call police. >> sfmta says it's delaying the rollout of their first in the state speed cameras until march. this is a month later than previous plans. the 33 cameras were originally supposed to go

up this month, but there were delays finding a camera vendor and identifying installation locations. there were also a few electrical and structural engineering challenges, such as agreeing with the city's public utilities commission to put the cameras on its street light poles starting january 13th. bart will be changing its schedules on the peninsula due to a construction project to replace an outdated control system. after 9 p.m, crews will be working on track updates between the colma and millbrae stations. this means the yellow line will end at sfo instead of millbrae after nine. the millbrae station will only be served by a train running every 15 minutes between millbrae and sfo. this nightly service plan in millbrae is expected to last several years. local transit agencies are gearing up for new year's eve next week. bart will be running special extended service on new year's eve until 1 a.m. to get people home safely. san francisco muni will be offering free rides starting at 8 p.m, and its overnight owl service will provide extra

busses in the south bay. vta will also offer free bus and light rail service, with extended service on new year's eve to help deter drinking and driving. >> the new congress convenes in one week, and the house will vote on a speaker. current speaker mike johnson is under fire from both conservative and progressive lawmakers. republicans spent five days and 15 rounds of voting to elect a house speaker last year. they have only three days this year before congress is supposed to gather and certify the electoral votes for the presidential race. >> so to have a speaker's battle, all that does is a distraction and delays getting the american first policy through the promise made is that it should be the promise kept, and the house has to do their part. they cannot do the part without a speaker. >> some republicans want president elect trump to quiet all speculation and announce he is supporting johnson to retain the job as house speaker. >> president biden, meantime, had a busy holiday week, signing 50 bills into law and the

transition process for president elect donald trump continues ramping up. trump will be inaugurated on january 20th. the recent russian strike on ukraine on christmas day is putting more pressure on the incoming trump administration to end the ongoing war. >> i do think when congress is involved, we're going to see more policy stability for the decisions that president trump can make on his own. i think that's where we're going to see more instability and a lack of predictability. >> on his first day in office, president elect trump is planning to enact many executive orders and directives. states, including california, already preparing to challenge some of those, including executive orders on immigration. president elect trump has named kevin cabrera as his pick for u.s. ambassador to panama. cabrera, a florida county commissioner, worked for the trump campaign back in 2020. the 34 year old was born in miami to parents who fled cuba. trump boasted of cabrera's qualifications on social media, writing, quote, few understand latin american

politics as well as kevin. the pick comes as trump, by the way, has repeatedly threatened to regain control of the panama canal as a way to lower shipping costs. time now is 537. palestinians are criticizing israel for overnight attacks that killed at least nine people in gaza and 50 people near a hospital in northern gaza. the airstrikes sparked fears and fires at the hospital and forced patients to evacuate the operating room. labs and emergency departments caught fire. the overnight assault follows an israeli offensive against the rebels or other rebels in yemen. >> we are determined to cut off this terrorist arm of iran's axis of evil. we will persist until we complete the job. >> diplomatic efforts for a ceasefire are ongoing. >> starting next month, el capitan state beach outside of santa barbara will be closed to overnight campers for a full year so california state parks can complete a $5.5 million construction project. the beach right off 101, will be getting upgrades to its entrance road

times, you don't always know. and so i think that experience is difficult as it was served us well. so you got an opportunity with the team that that got the best of you. and so you just want to go out and find a way to get a win. >> the niners are three and a half point home underdogs for monday's game. >> keep going for brandon aiyuk as more skiers and boarders are heading up to lake tahoe this weekend. we'll have the latest on road conditions and what you need to know before you head out. >> another oakland business burglarized in the middle of the night. the violent smash and grab at a supermarket, catching an entire neighborhood off guard. and a reminder you can download our new fox local app. it's in addition to ktvu newscasts and content from ktvu. you can also watch content from our sister stations across the country. it is free to download for your apple and android devices and your smart tvs to.

[music]

mike johnson is under fire from both conservative and progressive lawmakers. republicans spent five days and 15 rounds of voting to elect a house speaker last year. they have only three days this year before congress is supposed to gather and certify the electoral votes for the presidential race. >> so to have a speaker's battle, all that does is a distraction and delays getting the american first policy through the promise made is that it should be the promise kept, and the house has to do their part. they cannot do the part without a speaker.

>> some republicans want president elect trump to quiet speculation and announce he is supporting johnson to retain the job as house speaker. tv ratings and a new poll show about two thirds of americans have been taking a break from watching news and keeping up with politics. the poll also finds more democrats than republicans are taking a break from the news. since the election. about 7 in 10 democrats polled earlier this month said they're stepping back from watching political coverage. about 6 in 10 republicans also say they're taking a break. some polls suggest it's from exhaustion, anger or frustration over the election results. the islamic center of san francisco is alerting the community about a man who they say harassed muslims outside the mosque. the islamic center says the man was in front of the mosque for 50 minutes. we have pictures of him here. he was seen walking with what appears to be a hammer and ripping out pages of the koran. people are being asked to contact the police if they see the individual. we've learned south bay civil rights leader reverend jeff moore, the second, has died. moore served as

when it comes to congestion. we'll stay on top of this. morning commute for you and let you know if any problems pop up. >> all right. whether you're flying or driving during the rest of the holiday season, prepare for delays. local airports are predicting record or near record numbers. sfo expects 6.3 million passengers between thanksgiving and new year's day. that is a 15% jump from last holiday season. the roads will be far more jammed than the skies. here's a live look at interstate 80 this morning in oakland. triple a says 107 million people will travel by car during the holidays, which is below the 108 million record set in 2019. >> happening today, city leaders in santa cruz will hold a news conference at 11:00 this morning to give an update on their response to the collapse of a 150 foot section of the city's main wharf. it's closed indefinitely after powerful waves sent that portion of the wharf into the ocean on monday. city leaders have not yet revealed how long it will take to repair the extensive damage. >> what we can say right now is obviously we're in the moment of an emergency, and so we're assessing and really working

with our partners to gather data and best understand really what is necessary for the next 24, 48, 72 hours. >> the national weather service is warning the danger at the beach is not over yet. it's extended the high surf advisory through the weekend. >> video you got to check out here. watch this. a monstrous wave crashes into a surfer in hawaii. ty simpson kane was surfing off maui's north shore when he was met with this supersized wave. in the video, you can see him flip several times before disappearing under the wave. thankfully, he came out alive and was brought back to safety with the help of emergency personnel. the u.s. coast guard, credited with saving a man and his dog after the owner struggled to steer a sailboat through crashing waves. stormy winds on christmas morning led the sailboat aground in western washington. deputies say they got a call about a man stuck on his boat. coast guard rescue swimmer later arrived on scene and led the dog and his owner back to shore safely. >> police in alameda are looking for two burglars who stole

hundreds of packages from an apartment complex. as ktvu zac sos reports, tenants say this wasn't the first time. >> neighbor of mine got home, came to get our packages and was literally in tears. >> tenants at an alameda apartment complex with a real-life grinch on their hands. >> that was kind of her christmas inside that room before it was taken. >> bob, who also lives at balena village, had his stocking stuffers stolen. photos showing just a handful of gifts left in the package room after he says more than 100 were swiped just five days before christmas eve. >> the thing is, is it's just, you know, it's the holiday season. we're all, you know, working hard to pay our bills and, you know, stay above water. and then for people just to come and take from the people that work hard. >> alameda police say they're looking for two people who broke into the room. >> i'm glad that i only lost one thing. >> tenants like this woman who asked for her face not to appear on camera, relieved after being reimbursed but still scrambling to buy new nintendo gear for her nephew. >> nobody has time to reassess

or to what are we going to do now that we don't have any presents to present? i spoke with another resident that lost like seven packages, so that very well could have been majority of their christmas. >> it's the second christmas in a row. residents say their packages have been pilfered by thieves, but there were also other times in between the two break ins in the span of a mont. >> during the holidays is not easy on anybody. >> all their mail is now temporarily being diverted elsewhere on property. >> i think the complex really is doing everything that they can. >> in a vaguely worded email to tenants building management, apologizing for the quote incident, adding that it's investigating what happened and exploring options to relocate the package room. >> i think, you know, one, having a package room 20 yards from the main road is not the smartest idea. secondly, you know, the notifications came out after other residents, you know, were notifying each other and we're going into the office and making gripes.

>> that was zac sos reporting for us this morning. 635 is your time. a man is under arrest for operating a suspected brothel in a residential neighborhood in san jose. after receiving multiple tips from the community, san jose police executed a search warrant at a home on south 24th street last week after a month long investigation. 44 year old zen wang was taken into custody and faces a number of charges. two female human trafficking survivors were found and provided with help. >> the state appellate court has tossed out the 2020 rape conviction of former san francisco 49ers dana stubblefield. >> the court ruled that the conviction was in violation of the california racial justice act. that act states race, ethnicity, or national origin cannot be used to convict or sentence criminal defendants. the appellate court ruled santa clara county prosecutors violated the law when they say stubblefield's race was a factor in the decision by law enforcement officers to not search his house. ktvu got reaction from stubblefield's lawyer last night. >> i don't know how to express

his emotions other than it's just finally coming to an end, which he has been wishing for. and this holiday season, there's nothing that could be better for him and his family. >> stubblefield was sentenced to 15 years to life in prison for sex crimes, among other charges. that conviction is now overturned. the weather is something we have been watching for the last couple of days. it is coming down this morning. >> absolutely. when i woke up in the middle of the night, i was like, am i going to have to drive through that? thankfully, it quieted just a bit before i hit the road around 330 ish. rosemary oroczo. for everyone else who doesn't have to wake up in the middle of the night, i hope we can make the most of this afternoon at least. >> yes we are. we'll be looking much better into the afternoon. gasia and andre. happy friday to you. this morning the showers are beginning to wind down. although we have standing water in many areas and it's dark out there, so be careful. you're going to have that as we get through the morning hours. again improving weather. here's a view

over oakland where we do have mostly cloudy skies and a few scattered showers still popping up. storm tracker two showing you that over areas of the bay, we've got a little bit of rain right over the richmond-san rafael bridge, as well as the bay bridge, perhaps the golden gate as well, and then stretching over towards the highway 24 lafayette orinda area. looks like you've got some light rain along 680 towards concord and along highway four towards antioch. if we shift to the east bay, inner east bay, and south bay, a little bit of light rain over towards livermore, heading into tracy and here, right on the cusp of fremont. some scattered showers there. multiple storm reports during the overnight hours and early this morning in orinda. highway 24, in the eastbound direction. chp reporting water across all lanes. that came in early this morning just before 130. as we head to sonoma, we've got a report of even a road closure there due to some flooding. and sonoma is one of the areas that has a flood warning that will continue until

the afternoon. flood advisory for parts of marin for the next half hour or so, as well as areas of sonoma. but the shade of yellow right in here, that is a flood warning until 230 this afternoon between windsor, sebastopol, rohnert park, you will find low lying flooding as well as near streams and creeks. the advisory for our high surf now continues until early sunday morning. and one more stop into the sierra, where we do have a winter weather advisory for snow that is falling along the west slope, as well as the lake typekit area. this expires at noontime, so the timing there giving you a good indication of when we do expect again to weather to have that weather improve. i'll have a better look at what we can expect for the afternoon, as well as the rest of the weekend and into the new year. coming up in just a little bit. >> thank you rosemary. starting next month, el capitan state beach outside of santa barbara will be closed to overnight campers for a full year so california state parks can complete a $5.5 million construction project. the beach,

massive response right now to an apartment fire in santa rosa or san jose. ktvu amanda quintana has just arrived on scene. amanda, what can you tell us about the pretty active scene behind you now? >> yeah. so this is gemelli way. we just got here, but obviously a big response. you know, just pulling up. i see at least eight fire trucks here from the san jose fire department. we're we're kind of far back because they've closed off the road here. so this is right off of capitol avenue and gemelli way. that's the intersection here. but all the way back to mayberry

road. that's where it's closed off. it still does look like an active scene from the reports that we're hearing. it is an apartment fire, maybe about a block or two in here. it looks like it's part of this complex here where there's a bunch of buildings. all of them look to be just two floors, maybe 6 to 8 units each. but we're hearing this is a three alarm fire. original reports. we heard some people might have been trapped, but it looks like some of the units here are kind of holding back. i've seen them kind of packing up some of their stuff to go into the truck, so hopefully that's a good sign. hopefully that means that, you know the fire is out and there's not an immediate threat here. but still a lot a lot of units here on scene. we've also seen a couple pg e work trucks pull out of here. it's hard to tell if they're, you know, related to what's happening here. but we

have seen at least two of those trucks. but again, trying to get more information here because we just got here. it does seem like the call came in sometime around 515. so crews have been here working on this for a little while. but again it looks like they're kind of packing up some of their stuff. so that's possibly a good sign that things are at least under control with the fire right now. so we're going to work on getting more information. we're going to work on talking to the public information officer here with the fire department to see what happened. if they can give us an update on what they're doing right now. for now, i'll send it back to you in the studio. live in san jose. amanda quintana, ktvu, fox two news. >> amanda, thank you. some of the other top stories we're following this morning. marin county school district paying $17.5 million to settle sex abuse lawsuits filed by four former students. they accused tamalpais high school of failing to protect them from tennis coach normandie burgos, despite

evidence of predatory behavior he was originally. he was eventually convicted of molestation and sentenced to 255 years behind bars, the new york times reports. tamalpais union high school district mailed out the financial settlements last week. today is the last day you can take a free ferry from richmond to san francisco and back. the free rides between richmond and the city started november 1st. it's about a 35 minute, one way ride. the richmond ferry operates 14 trips a day on weekdays and five trips a day on weekends, starting tomorrow. that one way trip will cost $4.70. children under five ride free. millions of people use flexible spending accounts to pay for their health care, but they may lose money left in the accounts if they don't spend it by the end of the year. you can use that money on things like travel costs to get to the doctor's office, as well as eyeglasses, bandages, sunscreen, and more. fsa dollars can also be used to cover gym memberships or electric massagers. if you have a doctor's note saying they're medically necessary. >> americans definitely opened their wallets and purses for this holiday shopping season. researchers report holiday sales

from november through christmas eve rose 3.8% from last year. much of it came from last minute shopping. the last five days of the season accounted for about 10% of holiday spending. >> the holiday season is often when home cooks dive into baking, and even those who rarely use their ovens are inspired to give it a try. >> i recently spoke with an expert who explained how a bit of know how can significantly enhance your baking results. the name guittard signals one thing chocolate. and inside this building in burlingame, there's more than even willy wonka could dream of. but this isn't the stuff of hollywood. it's been reality since 1868, well over a century before amy guittard was born. >> i am the great great granddaughter of etienne, who is the founder of our company. >> you've had a lot of chocolate in your time. >> yes i have. >> guittard is the oldest continuously family owned and operated chocolate baking business in the united states, and given that she's grown up around chocolate and eats it every day, who better to ask for

help? amy guittard says the kind of chocolate you buy, both in content and shape, is key in determining not just how your cookies taste, but also their structure. >> this is our super cookie chip. this is a great product. this is the sort of in between between a chocolate chip and these wafers that we have over here. so this is kind of like if you wanted the structure of a chocolate chip, but not quite the puddly nature of a baking wafer, you can use these guys and you start to see that you have a little bit less of that doming action, but it's still sort of serves serves the purpose. >> if you chop up a chocolate bar, you'll incorporate small bits throughout the cookie. that's the one on the right. on the left is the same dough, but with the baking wafers, which i hadn't tried before, i only ever use the chips. i buy the red bag in the grocery store. >> yeah, so that's our 63% chip. yeah, i can definitely see how it's there's a lot of chocolate in there. yeah. it kind of creates sort of a layering as well. >> baking is as much science as

it is an art. and even though bad cookies are still pretty good, guittard says choosing the right ingredients and recipe will help make sure you love the outcome. as one example, she points to the contrast between regular and dutch processed cocoa the darker one on the left, so you see a different color difference in color, which is much darker. >> and then you've also got this lighter color here. and if you were to taste them, you would taste a stark difference between the two. well, let's taste them. let me try this one. >> oops. yeah. >> very oreo. yeah. solid chocolate. yep. let me say i know i should finish here. >> i'm gonna have some. i know why not. we already broke the cookie. yeah. >> wow. this one's sort of like, i don't know, fruitier or more buttery. it's a little more subtle. >> lighter. >> that's really good. when it comes to changing preferences. guittard says it's not unusual for people to go darker as their palate matures. >> just swapping out that intensity of flavor can deliver a totally different flavor. >> note as soon as i moved to

the red bag, the darker one, my husband was like, wow, these tastes fancy. yeah, and i thought, that's great because it's the same amount of effort for me. but they do taste a little more upscale, a little more refined. yeah, i could tell the difference easily. >> yeah. nice. >> the $100 billion plus nationwide chocolate market is increasingly focusing on sustainability, ethical sourcing and healthier options. in a nod to those who follow the wildly popular keto and paleo diets, guittard recently introduced its santa chips, french for health. they're sweetened with coconut sugar, and for years, a number of studies have pointed to the possible health benefits of eating a small amount of dark chocolate every day. but for most people, chocolate is a pleasure, one that's to be shared with family, friends, coworkers, especially around the holidays. really good. we need milk. >> we do. >> i don't usually eat so many cookies in a day, but i mean, you had to. i had to as part of the assignment and i was

thrilled to do it. so to further increase your chance of success, find your recipe from a trusted source like the back of the chocolate chip bag. so many recipes i see on social media are clearly untested, and i've actually had bad results with them. also read the whole recipe all the way through before you start. so some recipes might call for chilling the dough hours before baking. you likely get kind of flat, messy cookies if you skip that step. i've made that mistake as well. so here's the deal if you're going to invest your time, if you're going to buy nice ingredients, you want to have something decent to share with your family and friends. >> this is right up your alley. yes it is. >> i could do that story every day. >> all day, all day. all right. >> rosemary is cooking up some weather forecast and the weather center. some areas under flood advisories right now. rosemary. >> yes. you're right. they will continue over the north bay for some areas. it will be until about 715. there is a warning for parts of sonoma until 230. long story short, be prepared for standing water. low lying flooding over the bay area, even over the east bay as well as the south bay. we had early reports this morning. here's a view of storm tracker two. it is beginning to wind down for us

here in the bay area and for the sierra as well. snow levels are coming up. in fact, it is turned over to rain in lake tahoe, where temperatures are in the upper 30s to low 40s. once we get past this system, we will be with the unsettled weather for the rest of today and tomorrow. the next storm comes in on sunday. here's a look at the futurecast tomorrow morning. notice a little bit of a ridge there. so overcast sky with the possibility of just a few sprinkles. shouldn't be a big deal. we get to sunday. this looks to be more of a big deal. anywhere from a quarter inch to an inch expected. once we get past that sunday storm, we are going to be dry through the rest of the year into the new year. in addition to the wet weather out there, it's a bit breezy. sfo reporting wind gusts to 33 and it's mild. upper 50s to low 60s to start your morning. 5 to 10 degrees warmer than yesterday and for the afternoon. widespread low 60s in the forecast with a few mid to upper 60s in the south bay.
