video and tell you what we know so far from ktvu. [music] >> fox two news. this is mornings on two. >> and good morning to you. welcome to mornings on two. i'm claudine wong and we want to get you right to our breaking news out of san leandro this morning. a gas leak is prompting evacuations. and the efforts to get residents to safety is underway. at this hour. happening on the 700 block of llewellyn boulevard near washington avenue. you can take a live look right now. that is where ktvu is. amanda quintana joins us with the very latest. good morning amanda. good morning claudine. >> so this this initial call was for an address like you said, on llewellyn boulevard. but police and fire have the road closed off from the direction we're coming from. it's at the intersection of washington and fargo avenues. but just about ten minutes ago, police even pushed us further back. so we

are in a shopping center here where it seems like a lot of the ambulances, the fire department, they're kind of stationed here in this shopping center, but a very heavy police and fire presence here. lots of lights, lots of sirens we can hear on the loudspeaker throughout the neighborhood. they're telling people there is a gas leak they need to evacuate. there's also a really strong gas smell. so we are trying to be as safe as possible, you know, staying staying in our car as much as we can, staying back as far as we can because it is a very strong smell. now, it's kind of unclear what section of this neighborhood needs to evacuate right now. but again, we're about two blocks back from where that initial call was. so it's at least, you know, two blocks wide. but this is a very heavy police presence here. so the

perimeter, it seems like has been expanding as we've been here over the last 30 minutes. now, we did get a call into our newsroom this morning from a man who says he saw the hole in the pipe, and he's the one who called 911 to alert them. he says it's a large, exposed pipe where washington avenue goes over the san lorenzo creek. so the overpass there, that's where he was when he saw it. but we are trying to get some more information from first responders. obviously, they are very focused on evacuating people right now. that is the number one focus. so we will get information when we can, and we'll make sure to update you when we get that. for now. live in san leandro amanda quintana ktvu, fox two news. >> okay. thank you amanda. certainly. safety first. and yes, two blocks away. you can still smell that. so that is a situation we're going to be monitoring for you this morning and this morning. we are still trying to get information on the

conditions of several people who were sent to the hospital after a multi-car crash in the east bay that involved two bart police cars this morning. ktvu has obtained surveillance video of that crash happening, and we want to show that to you. the moment where this collision happened. a medical supply van. you see it there was going down mandela parkway. then all of a sudden one police car hits it. and then right after that police car, you can see the second one coming in, one going into a pole, the other going into the intersection. first responders, we do know, rushed several people to the hospital following that crash. now this all happened on saturday afternoon. this was near west oakland's bart station at seventh and mandela parkway. the oakland fire department tells us that bart police were responding to some type of call when that collision happened, and there were four people, including three bart officers, who were hospitalized. we do not know this morning how seriously they were hurt. witnesses, though, described that scene as scary

and chaotic. >> the sirens came on and i seen the one officer coming from down mandela and the other officer coming from across seventh street. in a split instance, they hit nose to nose in the intersection. >> oakland police say it is unknown if alcohol played a role in the crash. well, this morning, the death toll continues to rise in south korea's worst aviation disaster in nearly 30 years. a passenger plane that had taken off from bangkok burst into flames after it skidded off the runway at an airport in southwestern south korea early today. at least 179 people have been killed. two passengers sitting in the back of that jet somehow survived. investigators say the landing gear of the jeju passenger plane failed. while that pilot was attempting to land at the airport, about 180 miles south of seoul. they say a bird strike may have caused the crash. and

this morning's air disaster in south korea comes just days after the deadly crash of a passenger plane that was headed to russia. and there is a major new development in that investigation this morning. azerbaijan's president says he is now certain that the plane that crashed on christmas day was accidentally shot down by the russian military. this comes one day after president vladimir putin issued a formal apology involving the crash that killed 38 people. however, the russian leader stopped short of saying moscow was responsible. >> i don't think we would be hearing that apology unless there had been so much evidence left and people left alive from the crash. >> the kremlin is only calling the deadly plane crash a tragic incident. u.s. intelligence agencies say they have evidence that the plane was shot down by russian air defenses, who were attempting to deflect a ukrainian drone strike. all right, let's talk now about our weather here at home. we are

certainly tracking the rain and the winter advisory that is now in effect in the sierra. you are taking a live look at interstate 80. this is along the donner summit near soda springs, just north of lake tahoe. and if you take a look at that road, you can see the drivers are making their way through. but there's snow on that road and things are going to be changing. so while that advisory is in place, caltrans is urging drivers to slow down, use caution while traveling over the sierra passes. take your time. keep in mind the mountain received a foot of snow last week. it is expected to get another ten inches after this round of new snow. that is great news for the resorts because they are going to be busy ahead of the new year, as that fresh snow is expected to attract big holiday crowds. >> now that there's some actual snow coming. this is when people tend to get excited. more terrains open, the lift lines will be smaller, even though there's more people on the mountain, and everyone will have

really good, a really good time. >> so before heading up to the mountain, skiers and snowboarders are being advised bring those chains for your car and have that emergency kit ready. >> we definitely encourage folks to carpool as much as possible, and definitely check out that that caltrans app. before you do, head up the hill. >> no chain controls are in effect on the roads up to tahoe right now, but that can and it does change very quickly, especially when you have a winter weather advisory that we do have in effect. now, of course, you can track the latest road information from the caltrans website or by calling 511. and let's look at the weather closer to home here in the bay area. this is a live look outside at interstate 880 as it rolls by the coliseum through oakland, and you can see the roadways are already wet and they're not going to dry out anytime soon, at least not in the next few hours. let's go to meteorologist rosemary oroczo

with a look at this soggy morning that we have in store for us on this sunday. >> it's like another morning, another round of rain flooding. but this storm is a bigger one compared to yesterday, and it will last for the first part of the day, giving you a live look here at the overcast sky, the soggy conditions and the breezy conditions. even a wind advisory to talk about. here's a look at storm tracker 2a3 hour time lapse. you can see it came ashore early this morning, hitting the north bay first in and now pretty much covering the entire bay area from north to south into the sierra we go. snow levels have dropped and there is a winter weather advisory. as claudine mentioned, it goes until 8:00 this evening. if you're thinking about heading up for the big holiday, you may want to avoid today if at all possible. meanwhile, here, closer to home, a flood watch for the north bay will go until noontime, and the wind advisory includes everybody except the santa clara valley. this will go until 3:00 this afternoon for breezy conditions and wind gusts. expected to reach to

about 45mph. checking in on the winds at this time, it is a bit breezy out there. sfo reporting a wind gust to 35. half moon bay 25, san jose 23. so wet and windy for the morning hours and our temperatures at this time. very similar to where we were yesterday. widespread 50s to start the day. so it's a mild one. 57 degrees in san francisco, 57 in livermore. as we get into the second part of the day, this storm is moving out and we will be dry as we head into the final days of december and the first days of january. i'll have a look at what we can expect in the extended forecast coming up. claudine. >> all right. thank you. rosemary. well, coming up, president elect trump shifts his stance now voicing support for visas that bring skilled foreign workers to the u.s. why? he's siding with tech leaders like elon musk and how it's dividing his supporters and bay area businesses feeling the impact of the bird flu. how an east bay donut shop says it is navigating high egg prices and shortages to

enroll by december 31st. covered california. this way to health insurance. top stories that we're following for you this morning. a gas leak in san leandro is prompting evacuations at this hour. it is all happening on the 700 block of llewellyn boulevard. multiple san leandro fire crews are on scene, and the police and the

sheriff's department is assisting with getting residents to safety. we'll have another live report from that scene in the next half hour. and a tragedy in wuhan, south korea. at least 179 people are dead after a plane crashed at an airport. officials say a passenger jet veered off the runway and exploded into flames at the airport. there were 181 people on board. two people somehow managed to survive that. investigators believe a bird strike may have caused that crash, and first responders rushed several people to the hospital after a multi-car crash involving two bart police cars. that crash happened on saturday afternoon. this was near the west oakland bart station at seventh and mandela parkway. the oakland fire department says bart police were responding to an unknown call when that wreck happened. four people, including three bart officers, were hospitalized. their injuries are not known. well, it is a protein and it is a baking staple, and it is an ingredient that has

been tough to find in recent weeks. eggs have been in short supply at many stores and in some cases recalled and pulled off the shelves. that's because of outbreaks of salmonella and the bird flu. ktvu tori gaines shows us how bakers at one oakland donut shop are managing the shortage, as commercial flocks have been impacted nationwide by bird flu. >> suppliers are forced to crack down on the number of eggs they can sell, leaving small businesses like donut savant here in oakland feeling the bite of higher egg prices. you may have seen it yourself. egg shelves at popular stores. sitting empty. signs at others saying limit one per customer. an outbreak of bird flu has torn through commercial chicken flocks across the united states this year, leaving suppliers stretched and consumers in a bind. some shoppers are thankful they have been able to access eggs at all. >> and there the jumbos, which i don't know. when you cook, jumbos are a thing. they're a little on the big side for me. bigger is not better in eggs. i'm baking still, so yeah, i

would have preferred just medium size, but jumbo is fine. i'm not. >> no complaints, but egg prices are higher for consumers. the usda says the cost of a dozen eggs in california has increased to $8.97. some small businesses are struggling to make up for the lost supply. >> our products kind of depend on it, so we'll make it happen. >> omar kamal has worked with the donut savant team for eight years, and he says finding eggs has proven challenging recently. but he says the pandemic gave his team plenty of practice at finding items in low supply. >> eggs right now, but it feels like since the pandemic, it's always been something the team has been able to find eggs thus far, but they have to be creative with sourcing and pay higher prices to do it. we're going all over the bay area for ingredients. sometimes if we can't get it in the east bay, we're going to the peninsula sometimes or we're going to san francisco. >> eggs are a necessary ingredient for donuts and donuts haven't pumps out thousands of donuts every day. the egg shortage in the bay area may be around well into 2025, as the culling of commercial flocks

left suppliers short on egg producing chickens. but no matter what 2025 brings. omar says donut savant will be ready to meet the challenge. >> being a small business, you've seen so many disappear and we're we're ahead of it. >> in oakland, tori gaines, ktvu, fox two news. >> in recent days, republicans have been debating on social media over a visa program that supports foreign born workers. now, president elect donald trump is weighing in, siding with the backers of that program. h1-b visas allow companies to temporarily hire foreign workers for certain specialized roles. tech ceo elon musk joined the conversation this week, contending that there is an urgent need for the skilled worker immigration program. other trump supporters, including former white house strategist steve bannon, argued the h-1b visa program siphons jobs away from american citizens. however, in an interview with the new york post, the president elect now

says he fully backs the program, and several officials in california and across the country have received notices warning them against interfering with immigration enforcement. stephen miller's nonprofit america legal first sent letters last week to nearly 250 leaders, telling them people living in the country illegally are subject to removal, and writing it is a crime to conceal, harbor or shield them. stephen miller has been named president elect donald trump's deputy chief of staff for policy. some recipients of the letters include california's ag rob bonta and los angeles mayor karen bass. bonta issued a statement to the los angeles letter, a quote scare tactic, plain and simple, and a spokesperson for bass called the letter wrong on public safety and wrong on the law. president elect donald trump wants to get rid of daylight saving time. he says changing the clock is, quote, inconvenient and very costly. now congress wiped out the time change in the 70s to save fuel during the energy

crisis, but many people didn't like it, so congress reversed it. but congress could once again have that ultimate say. all right. your time now is 718. we go back and forth, rosemary, about daylight saving time. it's easier on a morning show to fall back than it is to spring forward. of course. absolutely. but no matter where you spring this morning, you're going to get wet. yeah. how's that for a transition? i like it, i like it. >> good morning claudine. happy sunday everybody. here's a look over san jose where you can see it is a stormy one out there this morning. the rain, the wind, snow in the sierra. a good reason to just lounge indoors if you can. here's a view of storm tracker two, where the system providing that wet weather for the pacific northwest and into california, parts of the central coast, southern california, desperate for some wet weather. not seeing it. here's a look at what we do expect anywhere from a quarter inch to an inch of rainfall by the end of the

afternoon. this storm is going to move through and leave us with dry conditions. i think for the second part of the day, if you have a choice and you're trying to avoid the wet weather, wait just a few hours. as we get into the afternoon, it will be much better. meanwhile, the sierra expected to get up to ten inches of new snow and we've been talking about it this morning. there is an advisory for travel that goes until 8:00 this evening. here's a view of the timeline. there's a 10 a.m. already beginning to clear from the north bay central south bay still covered in it, but lunchtime, we're turning partly sunny. a few scattered showers remaining here, continuing to pile up in the sierra as we roll through the second part of the afternoon, it's clearing out and we are dry all the way through the start of january. if you do have outdoor plans for new year's eve or new year's day looking good. it will be chillier, especially to start the mornings with the drier air in place. i'll show you that in the extended forecast. here's a look at the winds out there right now. sfo reporting a gust to 35mph. half moon bay 22. san

jose 23. you're going to find some low lying flooding. you're going to find standing water out there this morning in the north bay does have a flood watch that goes until noontime. temperature wise, we are very similar to where we were yesterday morning. widespread 50s. thinking about getting out to walk the dog. well, you're going to need the umbrella at least through the first part of the morning. but by noontime we'll call for partly sunny, mostly cloudy skies, temperatures in the upper 50s and then into the afternoon. only low 60s for today. if you're looking for a dog to walk, junebug. available at the san francisco spca. and what a pretty dog she is. love that face. afternoon highs for today 58 degrees in pacifica. low 60s around the bay as well as inland under partly sunny, partly cloudy skies for the second part of the day into tomorrow morning. do expect the morning frost as well as fog. we will have a frost advisory, especially for the north bay area locations and our afternoon highs not quite as warm. upper 50s expected chilly mornings as well as a cool afternoons. we'll

go partly sunny for new year's eve as well as new year's day. claudine. >> okay. thank you. rosemary. well, it was a history making night for warriors jonathan kuminga as he helped snap the team's losing streak against the phoenix suns. we'll show you how his performance led the way

- 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.

buzz on social media and on talk radio. whether it's brock purdy's contract discussions, injuries or even coach kyle shanahan's future for more than a couple decades, damon bruce has been one of the voices on local bay area radio, and he shares his opinion on what needs to be done to change the team's direction. joe fonzi spoke with him about the 2024 niners and what lies ahead in 2025. >> i think that they're a good team who had a bad year. i don't think there is a necessity to blow this thing up and rip it down to the studs. i think that they need to get better in a few areas that every football team is always looking to improve in. i still have confidence in shanahan. i still have confidence in brock purdy. but you can go back to the funny off season. the holdouts, the puresole incident, the, you know, plethora of injuries that they avoided on their route to the super bowl last year. they've tripped over every conceivable injury that you can

kind of think of on the way to their disappointing year this year. i'll tell you, there is a serious rest disadvantage that they have had. and i know that the skeptic hears all this and says, you're making excuses. well, you can call it excuses, or you can also say it's part of the reality of this year, and you can catch the rest of that interview on our website at ktvu.com and on the gmc sports weekend show later this morning. >> that will be at 830 in just about an hour. well, the niners are playing their last home game of the year at levi's stadium tomorrow night, and the santa clara police department is issuing a traffic advisory ahead that game. heavy traffic and delays anticipated all day long and for several hours after the game. so there on your screen, you see a full list of the impacted roadways. monday night's game against the detroit lions kicks off at 515, and the warriors are celebrating a much

good morning to you. taking a live look this morning at san leandro, where we are following breaking news for you this morning. there are evacuations underway at this hour due to a gas leak. and the evacuation zone just keeps growing. first responders are on scene. so is our crew. and we'll have a live report coming up. and let's take you out live to sfo. the holiday travel rush is continuing this morning, but as you can see, it is a rainy sunday here. we'll have the latest for you on delays and we'll tell you what travelers can expect. >> from ktvu. [music] fox two news. this is mornings on two. >> good morning to you and welcome back to mornings on two. taking a live look outside. and

this picture says it all. this is interstate 80 rolling through berkeley emeryville. and all you really see is the clouds and the gray and the lights that tell you the roads are wet. and you're going to need to take your time this morning as you get out there, because that rain is going to last for a while. welcome back to mornings on two. i'm claudine wong. let's get the very latest with meteorologist rosemary oroczo, who's tracking this rain for us this morning. and you have said this is just getting started, rosemary. >> yes. it's going to last a few hours. claudine. the final storm of 2024. on this final sunday of 2024. in addition to the rain, we have wind. we have fog out there. as you can see from this vantage point over the east bay shore, if you don't have to be outdoors, don't go. wait a little while. here's a look at storm tracker two three hour time lapse showing you it came ashore early this morning, and at this time it is fairly widespread from the north bay, through the central bay and south bay. snow in the sierra. but do want to point out notice lake tahoe. there we continue to

have rain, which is an indication that the snow level is still above 6000ft. in any event, we've got several inches of snow coming to the sierra and there is a winter weather advisory that will last until 8 p.m. for very hazardous travel heading in that direction. i-80 highway 50 all the highways surrounding the greater lake tahoe area, as well. the flood watch for the north bay will go until noontime today, and we have a wind advisory for most of the bay area, excluding the santa clara valley. a better look at the wind, the rain, and the timing on this storm coming up in just a bit. claudine. >> okay. thanks, rosemary. and we want to get you now back to our breaking news out of san leandro, where a gas leak is causing evacuations and that evacuation area continues to grow at this hour. let's show you where this is all happening. now, the evacuation area is at grand avenue from railroad avenue east to hesperian boulevard and grand avenue north to the san lorenzo creek. as you can see there, that map on your

screen, it's a pretty big area. let's go to ktvu. amanda quintana, now, who joins us live from the scene with the very latest. and amanda, you've been talking about how strong that smell is and how you guys were even moved back for safety reasons. >> yeah. that's right. and we've been trying to stay in our van as much as possible, because really, as soon as you open the doors, it is a very strong gas smell. so we're about two blocks away from where that initial call came in, which is lewelling boulevard. so we are what you're looking at is at washington avenue. so washington avenue and fargo avenue, that's this intersection you're seeing here where they have the street blocked off. they're not letting anyone go that direction. we've been seeing lots of lights and sirens. police telling people in this area they need to evacuate because of a gas leak. they pushed us back even further into this shopping mall, where a lot

of first responders are kind of stationed here. many fire trucks kind of sitting here waiting. so there is still a large police presence here. we've also seen chp here trying to clear people out, and multiple pg and e trucks here. so again that strong gas smell. police on the loudspeaker telling people they need to evacuate. i did see somebody posted a nixle alert that they got to their phones saying mandatory evacuation in this area. so we're we're kind of watching as police try to alert people and get them out of this area. now, we did get a call into our newsroom early this morning around 5:00 from a man who says he actually saw the hole in the pipe. he says he called 911 to alert them. he explained it as a large exposed pipe where washington avenue

goes over the san lorenzo creek. so he it seems like he was the initial caller. but again, you know, first responders are focused on the evacuation right now. so we are trying to learn more information. but you know that that is what they are focused on right now. and when we do get more information, we'll make sure to bring that to you. for now, live in san leandro. amanda quintana, ktvu, fox two news and amanda, it sounds like everything is still growing. >> you know, certainly when we have a gas outage, the first goal is they want to turn it off. but when you're talking about possibly a large pipe, it could be possibly more confusing or not confusing, but complex to do that. so at this point we're not getting any indication right from either nixle alerts or authorities about how long this could go on. >> this morning, no, we haven't gotten any alert about that. but like you said, it does seem like the evacuation zone is growing because when we first got here,

you know, it was closed off and we had our truck parked there. but police quickly came to tell us, hey, i think you guys should move back. so it does seem like it is growing and we are still hearing police go through with the loudspeaker with the sirens telling people they need to evacuate. so it doesn't seem like there's, you know, an end right now. and they are still trying to let people know that they need to leave the area. >> it sounds like it's a multi-pronged approach. i mean, we've got chp, alco fire, san leandro pd, the alameda county sheriff's office all trying to get people out. so for people at home, if they're saying, well, maybe i haven't gotten a nixle alert, if you hear that bullhorn and you hear that, it does mean get out and make sure you get to safety, at least check to make sure that they are not trying to clear your neighborhood as well. >> right. and also it's raining, so i think that makes things a little, you know, more difficult in terms of, you know, going house to house and telling

people to evacuate. but but there are a lot, a lot of different agencies here trying to get that all done together. >> yeah. certainly gives you an indication about how wide the area is and how serious the problem is. all right, amanda, we'll check in with you in just a bit. thank you so much for that update and that live report. all right. your time now is 736. and let's talk about the severe storms across the country. they're causing hundreds of flight delays. and then we've got the storm this morning. so you take a look at sfo. this is a live picture this morning. sometimes it's clear as a bell out there. today is not that day. you can see the lights from the planes at the terminal at last check. and we've been checking the flightaware website frequently this morning. that airport has about 51 delays already. six cancellations. keep in mind it's only 730 in the morning at san jose. mineta there are 22 delays. oakland has 26 delays, no canceled flights. but we see those numbers change quite frequently throughout the morning. and not only do you have the storms here, you have

the other storms across the country. so keep that in mind. if you're traveling today. well, the holiday season is often a time for home cooks to ramp up their baking. and for those who don't even use their oven sometimes, now's the time to give it a try. ktvu gasia mikaelian recently talked with an expert who shared how a little bit of knowledge can give the outcome of your efforts a big boost. >> the name guitar 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 making 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

following that breaking news from the east bay, where a gas leak in san leandro is prompting mass evacuations at this hour. now, it started on the 700 block of llewellyn, but it has grown several blocks since then. multiple fire crews are on scene, as is the chp, the police department, the sheriff's department all assisting with getting residents to safety. and police in oakland are investigating a crash involving two bart police cars and a medical transport vehicle. it happened yesterday afternoon near the west oakland bart station at seventh and mandela parkway. four people were hurt, including three bart police officers, and the death toll continues to rise in south korea's worst aviation disaster in nearly 30 years. a passenger plane that had taken off from bangkok burst into flames after it skidded off a runway at an airport about 180 miles south of seoul early today. at least 179

people have been killed. two passengers sitting in the back of that jet somehow survived. a bird strike may have caused that crash, and anyone planning to spend the new year's holiday on the sierra slopes could get some fantastic snow. but also some unpredictable road conditions on the way there and back. let's give you a live look at the roads right now. this is interstate 80 near donner summit and as you can see, there is snow on the roadways there. so the sierra central snow lab is reporting the tahoe region is currently at nearly 150% of the median snowfall for this time this year. a reminder though, check the conditions before you go. there is a winter weather advisory in place, so whatever you see there right now in terms of road conditions, it is going to get worse. it's going to change. crews are out there working hard, but as you can see, they're already working with snow that has fallen. and caltrans officials say they

expect to post chain requirements at various times on interstate 80 and 50. so make sure you have those with you. well, california couple is celebrating the holidays with an incredible gift their firstborn child. and it is all thanks to a south bay woman who became their surrogate. she shared her story with me, explaining why she took on that life changing commitment. liana ortega says she wasn't sure what to expect when she began a two year journey that began late one night when she was scrolling on her phone. >> i was scrolling on tiktok super late at night, and i seen this girl talking about her experience with surrogacy. she actually went through the company that i went through with surrogacy first, and so she was talking about it. she i think she was like eight months pregnant and she was just telling her experience. >> the post convinced ortega to get online and fill out an application. >> i don't really know if it was really her story. i think it was

more so me just wanting to have like some type of purpose or something. >> ortega is a single mother of two and describes her pregnancies as fairly easy, and she's pretty sure she's done having kids. so she says surrogacy was an opportunity to give another family a baby of their own. couples who may be struggling with infertility, which is a journey jeffrey hu and his wife know well. >> we went to four different countries, and eventually we were able to have our children through surrogacy. so i always call them like million dollar babies because literally it took us half a decade. and, you know, dozen, half dozen rounds of ivf before we were able to pursue surrogacy, to start a family. >> today, this is his family thanks to surrogacy. >> it is a journey that prompted them to create the company known as surrogate first. he says since 2018, they've had an estimated 300 live births. and while finding surrogates is a challenge, the journey can be more fulfilling than some

realize. >> so for us in most agencies, there's probably a 3 to 5% qualification rate at the end of the day of someone that becomes a surrogate. she's had four. surrogacy is three of them with the same family. they're based in china. they've brought her entire family over for a one month trip, stayed at their house. >> it took a few weeks for ortega to be approved. >> but then the process began. and while the company will ask many questions to find a match on issues like termination, covid vaccination and how a surrogate feels about international or same sex couples, for ortega, the process of picking the family she would work with was fairly simple. >> to be honest, i only got sent one family. once i got sent that one family, i was like, yeah, i'll do it for them. >> the process after that involves hormone shots and the implantation of the couple's embryo. but the first attempt took and once again, she says the pregnancy was fairly easy. but there was one very important difference. >> i feel like from the very beginning, i like, mentally prepared myself. like i'm like,

this isn't my baby. it's somebody. it's going to be somebody else's baby because i didn't know i was going to work with them. so i just knew that, like, it was never my baby. >> she says her kids knew she was doing it to help people, and she got support from her family. but as her belly grew, people started asking questions. >> i'm like telling them like, oh, like i'm a surrogate, i'm going to have a baby. and then everybody's concern is, well, aren't you going to feel like attached? you're giving away a baby. >> she says she told the baby often that it was loved but never got attached. and as far as compensation, she prefers to keep that information private. but who says on average, in addition to medical expenses that are covered, there is a base compensation for surrogates that is paid over the entire pregnancy. >> so for base compensation, i think the average is probably about 50 to 55,000, but that can also go all the way up to 80 to 100,000, depending on the intended parent, what state you're in and you know, are you a repeat surrogate, etc. i would like to break one of the stereotypes, which is the number

one reason by far, that the surrogates pursue surrogacy is to help another family in need. >> ortega says that is what motivated her, and she describes the moment that the baby she carried entered the world and met their parents. she says even in that moment, she knew she was delivering a baby that belonged to someone else. >> the parents are just sitting there and they're like, okay, so like, what's going on? i'm like, you guys should probably stand up. like, we're about to have the baby right now. they're like, okay, you could tell they were going to like get emotional, but then they were like smiling like, oh my goodness, my child was just born. i feel like it's kind of like a full circle moment. it's kind of just like fulfilling for me. >> and as we sat with her just three days after giving birth, she was recovering in record time and already pondering the possibility of giving that same gift again. >> why would i do it again? i don't know, i just, i just, i don't know, i just think that it was it's very fulfilling internally for me, a gift of family. >> she has just given one couple

just in time for the holidays. amazing. leanna is so nice. and rosemary, i'm telling you, three days after i'm like, wait, you just had a baby? but i think that is in part one of the reasons why she says she is willing to do it and maybe willing to do it again, because for her, you know, other couples are not that fortunate to have that easy of a time starting their family. and so she said, you know, why not help. >> yeah. wow. yeah. she looks great. baby's healthy. i'm sure the new parents are so, so happy. that's an interesting story, claudine. thank you for bringing that. that's something, you know, you don't hear those types of stories very often, at least unless you know somebody personally. all right, let's switch gears. take a look at what is going on in lake tahoe. you can see rain, not snow. the levels are still above 6000ft, but will be dropping over the course of the afternoon. and there is an advisory there for travel, as we've been talking about. and storm tracker two for

us here at home, the rain is widespread and not only the rain but the wind. there's a wind advisory until 3:00 this afternoon. and look at all those blue bubbles. those are wind reports in areas to the north of us. mount saint helena reporting a wind gust of 53 at 5 a.m. this morning over to pacifica. a wind gust to 36. also 5:00 this morning. and as we head over towards the south bay, mount almanor reporting a 37 mile per hour gusts that also coming in at 5 a.m, the wind advisory will last again until the afternoon, and you can see by just the color coding, even though it dies down just a little bit. here's noontime and is still especially strong over areas of the north bay. and then by two, three, 4:00 in the afternoon afternoon, continuing to wind down, calling for a breezy day, but nothing like what we're seeing out there right now when it comes to rainfall amounts a quarter of an inch to an inch expected with this storm, and it really is a morning event. as we get into the second part of the day, we are drying out. and for

the sierra, 5 to 10in of new snow. the timeline on this, there's a look at 10 a.m. north bay already beginning to get a break. central south bay still covered in the clouds as well as the scattered showers by noontime 1:00 most of us are turning dry and we will continue with that trend into the second part of the day. temperature wise it is a mild start this morning, but notice we are in the 50s, even a low 62 at san jose and into the afternoon, remaining in the upper 50s to low 60s, so our temps won't be changing much over the course of the entire day. if you're going over to levi's stadium to watch the big game tomorrow, it's going to be dry. it's going to be cool. 53 degrees expected at game time. your extended forecast here, cold overnight lows and cool afternoon highs, but dry as we end december and we roll into the start of the new year. claudine. >> okay thank you rosemary. wel, alameda is lighting up this hanukkah with a giant lego

menorah. details on how you can join in on today's festive celebration. [music]

well, the lucky lottery player who bought a mega millions ticket worth $1.2 billion near redding in shasta county, has still not come forward. and we are also learning there was another california lottery winner this weekend just outside of sacramento. someone at a chevron station in roseville bought a ticket that matched five of the six numbers, and that ticket is worth more than $787,000. but mega million players are being reminded there is more to this lottery game than just the big jackpots. >> raising supplemental funds for public schools in california is the sole reason the lottery exists. yes, we get really excited about high jackpot wins like this. historic even for mega millions, but our real pride comes from raising money

for public schools. >> the california lottery says mega millions tickets purchased this year alone raised about $89 million for public schools in 2024. well, today, kaiser permanente is inviting the bay area's jewish communities to co to san francisco's thrive city and celebrate the fifth day of hanukkah. thrive city is holding what it calls a winter wonderland hanukkah celebration. it begins at 2:00 this afternoon due to the rain. today, organizers announced that the event will now take place inside the chase center lobby. ice skating has also been canceled, but the event will still have music, food, and the lighting of the menorah. and today, the city of alameda is bringing back a special menorah to celebrate hanukkah. the chabad of alameda is putting up a seven foot tall lego menorah at washington park for the second year in a row. you're looking at video from last year's event, which was very popular. today's ceremony starts at three in the afternoon, and

there will be plenty of family friendly activities such as a bounce house, music and more. [music] all right. we continue to follow breaking news for you this morning out of san leandro. taking a live look where evacuations are underway after a gas leak there. our crew has been on scene all morning long and will have the very latest for you. coming up in a live report. and new surveillance video showing a multi-vehicle crash that sent several people to the hospital near west oakland. bart. we're going to show you the video and tell you what we know so far from ktvu, fox two news. >> this is mornings on two. >> all right. good morning to you. let's give you a look at the map there on your screen showing you the area affected by this gas leak in san leandro. this is the story that we are following for you. this story has been breaking all morning

long. welcome back to mornings on two. i'm claudine wong. now, this gas leak is causing an evacuation area that, by our estimates, is roughly two square miles. now, this is a map that shows you the evacuation zone. and as you can see here, there is the freeway. this is grant avenue here. so when you talk about how big the area this is llewellyn. where that fire actually or the gas leak, excuse me actually started. so we're talking about grant avenue down here from railroad avenue east to hesperian boulevard and then grant avenue north to manor boulevard up here at the scene right now we have our own. ktvu is amanda quintana, who has been following all the developments and has the very latest for us, amanda. >> yeah. well, that initial call was for llewellyn boulevard in address on llewellyn boulevard, which is about two blocks away from where we are. so we're at the intersection of washington and fargo avenues. police even

pushed this back further than that. but this is where the road is closed. so you can't get past this on washington avenue. but we've kind of been near this shopping center where a lot of first responders have been stationed. it is a mandatory evacuation for the residential areas west of washington. and we've been watching this large police and fire presence here. lots of lights and sirens, including chp and pga trucks we've seen. but police are calling this a significant gas leak. that's what they just posted on their instagram. so we've been kind of watching as all of those agencies really go into these neighborhoods with the loudspeaker telling people that there is a gas leak and they need to evacuate, and they've been doing that the whole time we've been here. so almost two hours now. the city also posted that there is a

shelter available at marina community center. and then the san leandro senior center is also going to open. if anyone needs somewhere to go. so what we know is we got a call into our newsroom early this morning from a man who says he saw the hole in the pipe. he says he was the original one to call 911 and to alert them. he described it as a large exposed pipe where washington avenue goes over the san lorenzo creek. so that's kind of an overpass there, probably about two blocks from us. so that is believed to be the original call. but again, he says he saw a hole in this big exposed pipe. so of course, the focus right now for police, for first responders is to get everyone evacuated in the area on that map that you showed claudine. but we are trying to get some more information about

this, and we'll make sure to update you guys when we do get that. live in san leandro. amanda quintana, ktvu, fox two news and amanda, can you describe that area for people who might not be familiar with it? >> llewellyn is a major thoroughfare. i can see where you are now. you know, certainly you have a shopping center with you and a gas station. but there's also, you know, mobile home parks, apartment buildings, a lot of mixed use kind of areas here when you're talking about who's in and around and who might need to be evacuated. >> right. and so the original call came from an area right near a mobile home park. so it seems like that is kind of where the leak is happening is somewhere around that mobile home park, which is kind of right in front of the san lorenzo creek. but this area that we are in, like a little shopping center here. but washington avenue is the big thoroughfare here that we're seeing a lot of people on. and

it looks like, you know, we've been seeing a lot of cars exit the evacuation area here on to washington avenue. we've seen quite a few cars just come into this shopping center and kind of sit here. it seems like there might be just waiting to see, you know, when they can go back to their homes, kind of what's going to happen here. but this is a there's a heavy traffic on washington avenue. definitely. and that is where it's closed off. and that is where a lot of people are kind of trying to exit the evacuation area. >> yeah. and certainly when you talk about a gas smell, we've gone to some of these where you can't really smell it, but you know that there is a problem. and in this case that's very different. we're talking about a massive gas leak. and certainly i know that you've reported that the smell is very strong. and that is definitely one of the concerns for residents. all right. stay safe out there amanda, thanks so much for that live report. time now. 805. and this morning we are still trying to get some more information on the conditions of several people who were sent to the hospital

after a multi-car crash in the east bay that involved two bart police cars. and this morning, ktvu has obtained surveillance video of that crash actually happening. let's show it to you right now. we can see the moment where the collision happened. there was a medical supply van that was coming down mandela parkway. there you see it there on your screen. then one police car comes and you can see hit right on the nose there. and that other police car followed right behind it. one of those cars went into a pole. as you can see, the other one just landed in the intersection along with that medical van. here's what we know. we know that first responders rushed several people to the hospital following that crash. now, this happened yesterday afternoon. this was near the west oakland bart station at seventh and mandela parkway. the oakland fire department says bart police were responding to some type of call when that collision happened. four people, including three bart police officers, were hospitalized. but right now, we still do not know how seriously they were hurt. but you can see a great deal of damage to all

the vehicles involved. and witnesses describe that scene as scary and chaotic. >> sirens came on and i seen the one officer coming from down mandela and the other officer coming from across seventh street. in a split instance, they hit nose to nose in the intersection. >> oakland police say right now it's not known what factors played a role in this crash, but the investigation is underway. all right. at 806, we want to talk about our weather because lots to talk about there as well. with the rain here in the bay area and the winter weather advisory now in effect for the sierra. the road conditions up in the sierra near interstate 80, those are changing very quickly. you can see rain on this camera, but that rain here means there's also snow north of lake tahoe. so between the winter weather advisory and the storm that is coming here, so much to talk about. caltrans is

urging drivers to slow down and use caution on those sierra overpasses. that's because the mountain receives that foot of snow. last week, it is expected to get another ten inches after this round of new snow. so that's great news for the resorts, who are welcoming crowds ahead of the new year. and it's a big attraction when the snow is on the ground. but they say, you know when you make sure to go to those resorts, keep in mind they'll be busy now that there's some actual snow coming. >> this is when people tend to get excited. more terrains open, the lift lines will be smaller, even though there's more people on the mountain, and everyone will have really good, a really good time. >> now before heading to the mountains, skiers and snowboarders are being advised to bring those chains. you will need them when those alerts come out from caltrans. also have an emergency kit ready and when you go to the resorts, try to all get in the same car. >> we definitely encourage folks to carpool as much as possible and definitely check out that that caltrans app. before you do, head up the hill.

>> so right now, at last check, no chain controls were in effect on the roads to tahoe. but that can and it does change very quickly, especially when you have a winter weather advisory in effect. so you can track the latest road information from the caltrans website or by calling 511. also, you can check with ktvu because we always update on our fox local app, and we continue to track the weather closer to home as well. so much to talk about. let's take you out to interstate 880 through oakland. or you can see the roadways are wet. headlights are still on this morning because that is the safest way to get on the roads when that rain is falling. meteorologist rosemary oroczo joins us now with how this sunday is shaping up. and it's going to be a soaker. yes. >> not only wet but windy out there. claudine, we have multiple reports of wind and gusty conditions and a wind advisory for most of the bay area, excluding san jose, until

3:00 this afternoon. here is a look over the south bay where you can see the stormy clouds there overhead. and as we turn it over to storm tracker two, a lot of rain falling through the bay area at this time, and then turning over to snow at the higher elevations. as we showed you the sierra just a moment ago. stopping it for you. notice from the north bay, the central bay, south bay. i mean, we just we don't even have to spend a lot of time here on the radar because it is so widespread. all of us, if not most of us seeing that rain there. there's a look at the sierra. we had a live look at lake tahoe and you can see that green spot there. that's lake tahoe, where it is still raining at the lake level. meanwhile, the advisory for travel will go until 8:00 this evening for the west slope and the greater lake tahoe area. for us here at home, do expect some flooding there. in the north bay there's a flood watch till noontime. low-lying areas, our streams, our creeks could see a little bit of flooding as well. and again, that shade of periwinkle purple is kind of that wind advisory we're talking about that will go until 3:00

this afternoon, checking in on some of the winds across the region, gusty conditions reported at our airports. and take a look at napa 29 mile per hour gusts reported there. concord reporting 23. as we shift over to the peninsula and the south bay, we've got sfo reporting 31. not too bad in mountain view and san jose. and again, those are the areas that don't really have the advisory. temperature wise it's a mild start. so that's a look at the current conditions. i'll have a look at what we can expect with this storm and the timeline when we expect to dry out later today. coming up. claudine. >> all right. thank you. rosemary. well, bay area businesses are feeling the impact of the bird flu. how? an east bay donut shop says it is navigating high egg prices and shortages to make sure it can keep s ng ts

top stories that we are following for you this morning. a gas leak in san leandro is prompting evacuations at this hour. it all started on the 700 block of llewellyn, but has expanded to about a two square mile radius. multiple fire crews are on scene, as well as the police and the sheriff's department and the chp all assisting with getting residents to safety. a shelter has also been set up in that area. and a

tragedy in wuhan, south korea. at least 75 people, or at least 179 people, i should say, are dead. that is after a plane crashed at an airport. officials say that passenger jet veered off of a runway and then exploded into flames at an airport. there were 181 people on board. two of them somehow survived. investigators say a bird strike may have caused that crash, and first responders rushed several people to the hospital after a multi-car crash that involved two bart police cars. the crash happened on saturday afternoon. this was near the west oakland bart station at seventh and mandela parkway. oakland fire department officials say bart police were responding to an unknown call when that wreck happened. four people, including three bart police officers, were hospitalized. and right now, the status of their injuries are not known. and it is a protein and it is a baking staple. it is

also an ingredient that has been tough to find in recent weeks. we're talking about eggs, which have been in short supply at many stores. in some cases, there have been recalls and those eggs had to be pulled off the shelves. and that's because of outbreaks of salmonella and the bird flu. ktvu tory gain shows us how bakers at one oakland donut shop are managing that shortage, as commercial flocks have been impacted nationwide by bird flu, suppliers are forced to crack down on the number of eggs they can sell, leaving small businesses like donut savant here in oakland feeling the bite of egg prices. >> you may have seen it yourself egg shelves at popular stores, sitting empty signs at others saying limit one per customer. an outbreak of bird flu has torn through commercial chicken flocks across the united states this year, leaving suppliers stretched and consumers in a bind. some shoppers are thankful they have been able to access eggs at all. >> and they're the jumbos, which i don't know. when you cook, jumbos are a thing. they're a little on the big side. for me,

bigger is not better. and eggs i'm baking still. so yeah, i would have preferred just medium size, but jumbo is fine. i'm not. >> no complaints, but egg prices are higher for consumers. the usda says the cost of a dozen eggs in california has increased to $8.97. some small businesses are struggling to make up for the lost supply. >> our products kind of depend on it, so we'll make it happen. >> omar kamal has worked with the donut savant team for eight years, and he says finding eggs has proven challenging recently. but he says the pandemic gave his team plenty of practice at finding items in low supply eggs right now. >> but it feels like since the pandemic, it's always been something the team has been able to find eggs thus far, but they have to be creative with sourcing and pay higher prices to do it. we're going all over the bay area for ingredients. sometimes if we can't get it in the east bay, we're going to the peninsula sometimes or we're going to san francisco. >> eggs are a necessary ingredient for donuts and donuts. haven't pumps out thousands of donuts every day. the egg shortage in the bay area

may be around well into 2025, as the cooling of commercial flocks left suppliers short on egg producing chickens. but no matter what 2025 brings, omar says donut savant will be ready to meet the challenge. >> being a small business, you've seen so many disappear and we're we're ahead of it. >> in oakland, tori gaines, ktvu, fox two news. >> well, the 49ers are facing the detroit lions tomorrow night. up next, we go inside the huddle for a closer look a what lies ahead

it has been a disappointing season, to say the least, for the team, one plagued with injuries and the math for the niners no longer works. the playoffs aren't happening, but there are still two games to play and they won't be easy. you can bet when they take on detroit, the 13 and two lions will be motivated. on monday night, they lost after a 17 point lead in last year's nfc title game to the niners, and missed what would have been their first ever trip to the super bowl. so lots to talk about. let's climb inside the huddle and welcome in rob stats guerrera from the gold standard podcast. rob good morning. always good to have you. >> thanks for having me. >> let's first talk about strategy with tomorrow night's game. you got warner and bosa

playing. and you know when you get these final games and there's no playoffs on the line and players have injuries. should we be playing them. should we get some guys off the bench. i mean what should be happening in these games. >> well the players always want to play from a fan perspective. we just don't want to see anybody else get hurt. right? the 40 niners have 15 players on injured reserve. we can't take any more. but it looks like the stars are going to play and the 40 niners are going to need them because i think the lions are going to be out for blood. >> yeah certainly they've got, you know, a bone to pick with the niners. if we talk about jared goff certainly we know him here from his time at cal. he's a bay area kid played at marin catholic. he's had a good season 33 tds this season 13 in the last four games alone for the lions. what are you expecting from him. >> well they're going to do what they do, which is run the heck out of the ball. they're going to use play action and they're going to keep the pressure off of jared goff. the lions understand who he is and what situations he thrives in, and they do their best to keep the pressure off of goff. and he has

thrived in those situations this year. >> and if we're talking about qbs we got to talk about brock purdy. these games matter. they matter just because they matter to us. right? as fans, we want to win. no one likes to lose. it's been it's been a hard season to watch. but he's also negotiating that first big contract. got him get up off that rookie salary. you know there's a lot of talk about yeah he hasn't looked the same this year. but really when you talk about what he has to prove hasn't he proven enough. or is there more to do in these last couple of games to say, yeah, i've earned i've earned the right to have more than the league minimum? >> well, i think when you're a quarterback, you always have something to prove, right? it's always about what you can't do. all. you did this. well, what about that? well, what about this? we're always moving the goalposts when it comes to a quarterback. and for all the people want to see what it looks like for brock purdy when the avengers are not there, he's going to have left tackle for on monday night, left guard for on monday night. and if colton mckivitz doesn't play, austin pleasants will be at right tackle. i mean, it's guess who's coming to dinner along the

offensive line against arguably the best team in the league? >> yeah, i mean, but if he can show up without the avengers, as they say, it really says something. detroit is still a three and a half favorite. but with the playoff math gone and this is what i want to really get back to. i've been talking to folks too, and they're saying, you know, are we watching this these last games of 2020 for this last home game? or are these tryouts for the 2025 squad? i mean, should we be saying, okay, when we look at our roster this this season's in the books, how do we shape up next year so that we take this good team that can be great and see them great again? >> absolutely. the preparations for 2025 begin now. you know, somebody like dee winters, who's going to get a ton of snaps at linebacker on monday. he's, you know, essentially auditioning to be a starter next year. we don't know what talanoa hufanga future is. he's going to be a free agent. he wants to have a good game. so absolutely, the evaluations for who's going to be part of next year's team are definitely taking place in these last two weeks. yeah. >> so don't be confused that

there's nothing to talk about. there is always a lot to talk about. and next season i know we got two more games. we start fresh. all right. rob guerrero from the gold standard podcast i know you can found anywhere people get those podcasts. always a great conversation. always great to hear from you. and for more click on that gold standard. thanks, rob. >> thanks for having me. >> all right. be sure to stay with ktvu for the gmc. fox two sports weekend show that starts in just about six minutes at 830, and that will be followed by the fox pregame at nine. all right. we also want to talk about our weather because that's certainly something we are following for you right now. because the rain it's a fall. >> and rosemary you're right. it is. it will be dry for tomorrow's game. but today it is all about the wet, windy conditions to start the final storm of 2024 upon us, giving you a live look there over the south bay. south bay does not have a wind advisory, but most of the bay does. and here's a view of all that rain that is falling, at least for now. i think by noontime most of us are turning dry. and all these

bubbles here indicating where we do have that wind from the north bay through the central bay, even parts of the south bay. mount saint helena reporting a wind gust to 53 at 5:00 this morning. areas over towards pacifica 36 mile per hour gusts at 5:00 this morning, and mount almanor 37mph. a wet, windy weather expected as we roll through the afternoon, though, things are much, much better, at least if you're planning to get outdoors and you're trying to avoid the rain. here's a look at 11 a.m. turning a partly cloudy, partly sunny, and then into the second part of the day continuing to dry out. and then we are dry all the way through. it looks like new year's eve. new year's day may have some rain return, at least over northern california by new year's evening. temperature wise it is a mild start out there, mid to upper 50s across the region for most of us and for the afternoon upper 50s to low 60s, so our temperatures aren't going to change much over the entire day tomorrow morning. going to be a frosty one. even a

frost advisory already expected temperatures will be much cooler with the drier air in place, and for the afternoon, upper 50s expected there and little change rolling into new year's eve new year's day. but the good news if you are going to be out celebrating, we've got dry weather in the forecast, claudine. >> all right, that is great news. all right. thanks, rosemary. all right. don't forget we'll continue to follow this sunday storm for you, as well as the breaking news that we're watching from san leandro. this is a live picture. evacuations are underway for what's being described as a massive gas leak there. a shelter has been set up, but of course, this is about two square miles from what we've been watching. our newsroom is following this. our crew is on the scene. we'll have updates on our fox local app, on our ktvu website, and on all of our social media platforms. so make sure that you download that fox local app for the very latest. thanks for watching on this sunday morning. have
