thank you, elissa. >> back in the studio with me right now -- abc7 meteorologist mike nicco. talking about dangers, and the thing we always think about -- flooding, of course, and mudslides. >> right. >> so, how do we prepare? >> there's a couple things to think about. first thing is there's a saying, "turn around, don't drown," you know? so if you can't see the bottom of the water where it's crossing the roadway, don't even drive into it. just turn around. the other thing is mudslides. when we get so much rain because of el niÑo, sometimes we get mudslides and rockslides. and one of the best ways to know about that is to just sit here and watch us on abc7 news. but we know you have a very busy life, but you carry around a phone with our app on it, hopefully, and we'll send you those push alerts. as soon as a flood watch or a flood warning -- a watch means it could happen. a warning means it is happening or it's imminent and you need to take action immediately. we'll send that out to you on the phone through the app. >> okay, and the app is free, it's easy to download, and we

looking over the edge of the bay bridge, so maybe they're taking an opportunity to see the view, but as elissa points out while these protests, though inconvenient, versus peaceful. anything else of course would be in direct conflict with the teachings of dr. king, and on this days, really an insult to his memory. though protesters seem to be keeping that in mind. >> the vehicles not knowing what to do. but it did appear that the protesters were moving away from the front line where those initials cars had stopped and we are linked together, and people were not letting the rest of the dryers through on the bay bridge. >> you know, there is someone sitting in traffic right there, with maybe an eighth of a tank of gas it's a good good reminder. you never know when you're stuck in traffic, but there are a few people i'm sure sweating it out there. >> and you can see the motorcycles from the officers. gathered here in front, and there are fewer people than were here just a few moments ago, gathered in front, you can see they seem to be linked together in their arms. i can't exactly read what that
