this red gate is a symbol of that friendship.started when parts of their home town and through the window you can see them. originally built to offer protection for the bridge, but they were washed away under the shores of the u.s. state of oregon two years after the tsunami. thanks to the people there, they found their way home. the story was big news there. and it got the attention of school kids in portland. they drew pictures and wrote messages for the children in okuki. >> i want to meet with them and play with them. >> reporter: there are letterings and drawings sent along with the gates. the act of friendship and kindness came as a surprise. >> translator: i was so happy. it made me want to become their friend. >> reporter: the pictures and letters were very pretty. i want to send letters back to them. >> so they decided to do just that. they asked their teacher to help them translate the characters in their names into english. >> hope. >> hope. >> happiness. >> happiness. >> happiness. >> happiness. >> colorful. >> colorf

golden gate bridge, and golden gate bridge. we will continue to track the commute all morning.morning at the troubled oroville dam... the power plant at the base of the dam has been restarted. after a successful 24 hour -shutdown of the hyatt power plant to allow crews better access to the debris... the plant is back up and running. it will give crews an additional method to release water from the reservoir. and the wet weekend did not interfere with debris removal or create a lake elevation concern. in the east bay... a busy concord road is reopen this morning after a tree came down on a car. san miguel road between lane drive and corte miguel road was closed for hours yesterday. a large tree blocked the entire roadway. city crews were on scene for several hours to clear the tree from the debris. no one was injured. make sure you have the free kron-4 mobile app to track the wet weather. we'll keep you updated about severe weather or traffic problems in your area with breaking news push alerts. it's available for both apple and android devices. the former mayor of stockton is n

here's the golden gate bridge now where our temperatures are into the 50s. it is 55 degrees.he winds are slight at this hour. linda in fairfield says her winds have been picking up to 16 and she has clear skies inland. so right now the marine layer extends inland let's say a good 40, 45 miles. yesterday we had a light shower possible. that was not updated. pardon that error there. otherwise we have clouds in the bay area today once the low clouds and fog lift. then partly cloudy to partly sunny temperatures in the 60s and low 70s. not bad. but this blocking ridge of high pressure is beginning to move out. as that does so, that is huge because we are going to be returning to a rainy period. no rain in the forecast for the weekend but next week, pretty much in and out of the rain all week. here's your futurecast to the mid-morning late morning hours. partly cloudy conditions. evening commute will be dry, as well. as we enter st. patrick's day, just a few clouds floating overhead but otherwise, pretty mild conditions as we forge ahead towards the weekend. 70s, 80s in throughout

, the palace of westminster gates, and who died of stab wounds. the attacker began, it seems, by driving a vehicle across westminster bridge and running into civilians who were pedestrians on that bridge, including a group of french schoolchildren from brittany. three of them were injured, a woman was thrown over the bridge into the river thames and pulled alive from the river thames. 20 people injured in all, according to the london ambulance service, four dead, including the attacker. two people on the bridge and the police officer who was stabbed to death. in the last few minutes we have heard from british prime minister theresa may, who has chaired a meeting of the government's emergency committee, cobra. after that meeting she described the attack as sick and depraved but said british democracy would go one, people would live their lives as normal despite this attack and, indeed, at westminster, parliament will sit as normal tomorrow, both mps and peers. i have just chaired a meeting tomorrow, both mps and peers. i havejust chaired a meeting

the visitors' gate is further along the road there. and as i say, there is a lot of security at these places. but again, to put it in context, while we try to figure out exactly what this is, as many of us and your experts have been saying, you can commit an act of terrorism with a vehicle now as we've seen since nice and the several incidents culminating today. and this is something that is going to be and is and all of the intelligence and security officials tell us, almost impossible to deter because what are you going to do? you can't ban cars. yes, you can ban laptops and ipads and all of those kinds of things and liquid on planes. unless they completely ban cars from around parliament, this is one of those low-tech but highly catastrophic attacks that now these people, whether they are lone wolves or not, and they have been in the past in nice and berlin, have been able to do to great effect. and it does happen at a time when oois is being squeezed, when isis has threatened europe and britain, when we have been told by security a
