again, the blue indicating ponding and puddling. we have a new accident blocking one, two lanes around the bend out of sunol that will catch you by surprise. the earlier accident at 580 cleared about 25 minutes ago and now we have a big improvement coming out of livermore and heading over toward that dublin interchange. we'll give you a look at the bay bridge toll plaza because we talked about the power being out as far as the lights across the span. we do have lights here at the toll plaza and they're taking tolls. yeah, can't stop that. the metering lights are on as well. notice this, approaching the toll plaza we have between the hov lane and fastrak lanes, these lanes off to your left, they're empty and we see folks moving over. so we've got calls into chp trying to see what exactly is going on. it looks like they may have some of those toll gates out. that might be why there's more compression and slowing off of 880. we track this as well as the north bay where there are a lot of reports of flooding, mud slides and trees down,

why don't you take the bully down to the pond. is not a pond, it is my ocean. come on, she led me out of the house the way we had come. the day was still gray. we walked around the house. is a real ocean, i asked? oh yes, she said. we came on it suddenly. wooden shed and old bench and the duck pond, dark water with duck weed and lily pads. there was a dead fish, silver as, colin floating on the side on the surface. that is not good. i thought you said it was an ocean. it is just a pond. we came across it when i was just a baby from the old country. went into the shed and come back with a long bamboo poles that looked like a shrimping net on the end. she leaned over and carefully pushed the net beneath the dead fish. she called it out. but the farm is in the domesday book, i said. your mom said so and that was william the conqueror. yes. she took the dead fish out of the net and examine this. it was soft. and it flopped in her hand. i had never seen so many facilities but beneath the silver was a blue and green and purple, the scale tipped with black. what kind

blue is where you find ponding and puddling very likely. all of this red on the roadway, that is the backup. folks crawling in through livermore and all the way to the dublin interchange where that big rig still blocks basically all your lanes for 580. the offramp to 680 is your only avenue off it. you can head north or 680 or south on 680. that's the big log jam. a lot of other folks are cutting down through livermore and pleasanton using 84, the isabel interchange. they're going to be slow through livermore as well. over here approaching the bay bridge and the approach pretty smooth, pretty typical build for the east shore freeway. the wind advisory for the bay bridge itself. let me show you the san mateo bridge in case you decide to use that one. we do have a smooth westbound drive all the way to the peninsula. soupy conditions. and 92 at skyline, the eastbound lanes now reported blocked by a tree that's down there. that could be an issue heading into or especially out of half moon bay. north of the san mateo bridge, oakland looking a li

there are ponds and lakes. it's hardly what you'd think of as a desert. on the other hand, some deserts have a great deal of vegetation. the mojave desert of eastern california has vast stands of giant yuccas-- the joshua trees. to develop a simple definition of a desert, we can find a common denominator in each of these harsh desert landscapes-- from the polar regions of antarctica and northern alaska to the vegetated sands of the mojave desert. deserts are regions with infrequent precipitation, averaging less tha 25 centimeters per year. in most deserts, evaporation rates are high enough to quickly remove this moisture. to understand the origin of the earth's hot subtropical deserts, the largest on the planet, we must first consider the equator. like the deserts themselves, the equator is a hot place, but it is also very humid, with torrential rain any time of year and steamy tropical rain forests. why are the tropics wet and the subtropics dry? as the earth orbits the sun from season to season, the sun always shines directly overhead somewhere in the t

this was a major event where we had a band, pond and duck.anted to dress the part and was delighted to find a snazzy pair of gaudy wing tips. he seemed undeterred by the fact these were golf spikes and that even after i mentioned to him that he would literally be cutting a rug if he wore those things, he bought them any way and unscrewed the spikes and danced up a storm. the floors needed refinishing any way. chris was one of the first people i knew in the prestarbucks era who bought coffee beans and ground them himself. he bought a coffeemaker and set it up. he insisted this was better than the rot gut than in the kitchen. i had to admit, he was right. it was another example of chris showing me how to live in the moment. i laughed when i read senator mccain's recent remarks recalling when chris insisted on personally brewing the senator a proper cup of cappuccino during their meetings in libya. the next topic of material goods would be his donkey, or lack thereof. i love the picture. it reminded me of a priceless letter he sent to me in law
