you'll see the pond right out in front of you. you can't detect the depth as easily because it's dark. i want to show you the area where bob is, i can tell you right now we're receiving rain rates in this specific location to the tune of 1/10th inch of rain. that's why the ponding is stacking up across our local freeways and localized street flooding a factor as well. things will start to improve but then we have a chance of thunderstorms later this afternoon so. there is a lot to talk about with. i want to show you your drive. san jose, 101 with 680, treacherous driving conditions, the same in dublin along 580, areas on the highway where that rain is just accumulating. it comes into the freeway. you don't want to hydroplane. travel cautiously. especially if you take that cargo. we stop the clock at 3:00 p.m. you're going to have an easier commute home. this is the time we're going to be watching for thunderstorms to develop in addition to whipping winds across the bay area as the system pulls out of here. it's going to dump more

horse stable poland popped and the connecting pond. this is the primary issue with regard to habitat restoration by reducing the amount of vegetation we can provide more habitat for the red legged frog that requires more room to thrive. i can show you a few images of what's happened over the last 8 years with the encroachment of the invasive species. this is an i am from 2005 and it shows open waterway the dark portion of the slide and the vegetation surroundings it. and then in 2010 you can see the vegetation is starting to evenly gulf the waterway and this is a more recent slide from last year, we pretty sure clogged up horse stable pond. this is another prospective from the 2005 image. and then again in 2011. so really the intention is to provide additional habitat for those two species and make sure they have the ability to they have in the years to come i'm going to turn it over to to stacey who will give you more details >> good afternoon. as the planning department prepared the negative declaration of the project that was publis

individual from necro search international identified the lining of this pond, stock pond to be bentonite clay. and he said, boy, that's very unusual to have betonite clay in the middle of the uncompahgre national forest in a stock pond. >> and this jogged their memory. they remembered that janice dodson's clothes had been covered in mud on the day of her husband's murder. janice's muddied clothing had been kept in evidence for the past three years. jacqueline battle scraped some of the mud from the clothing and ground it to a fine powder. battle sifted and weighed the samples. and then examined them under a polarizing microscope. the mud from janise's clothing contained bentonite. >> bentonite is a clay-like material comprised of minerals of aluminum silicates, magnesium and iron oxides. ranchers would add bentonite as a sealant so that the water would be retained in the watering hole versus seeping through into the ground. >> the bentonite on janice's clothing was identical to the sample from the pond behind her ex-husband's camp. battles examined mud samples from other ponds in the nat

anthony is right, ponding. that's what it is. christie smith live out there on highway 92 near the san mateo bridge. how is it looking there? >> reporter: good morning. normally this time of year you are tired standing out here getting soaked but this year of course is different because of the drought. this is really a welcome sight out here this morning. it's not raining quite as hard as when we checked in about 30 minutes ago but it has been raining steadily. you can see the results, so water here on the shoulder of the road about ankle deep. you can see we were talking about ponding, that is highway 92 there in the distance by the san mateo bridge. you can see the water kicking up from the back of their tires which lets you know what the conditions are like out here this morning. i wanted to show you a little earlier what happened overnight in these rainy conditions. a porsche spun out and the driver slammed into a tree. the car was totaled and by the way, that driver actually had the top down. it's unclear. the roads very sli

also at the crime scene, investigators found a set of keys in the grass, next to one of the ponds on the ten-acre property. the keys opened the doors to rogers' home. divers searched the ponds and a week later found a three-foot length of pipe, with a water sprinkler attachment at the end. while there were no fingerprints or hair on the pipe, there was a tiny speck of blood, which was sent for dna testing. >> how it got left there has always been amazing to us because it obviously had dried first when it was dropped in the pond, otherwise it would have washed off as soon as it dropped into the pond. >> to determine if this was the murder weapon, investigators devised a test to see the marks this pipe would make on a human skull. >> at the time there weren't a lot of different surfaces or forensically available sources for reproducing human skin. and so in this particular case i used -- just a honeydew melon with a smooth surface and rounded, it was approximately the same size as a human head. >> she struck the melons from different angles, and with varying amounts of force. >> when i
