multiple buildings. it looks like all of them were able to avoid any damage. from a neighbor that was walking by earlier, he explained that his understanding is that there are folks that were inside the building at the time. when the fire department came through, they were informed that they were encouraged to evacuate, but they did not have to. since we have been here, we have not seen anyone coming out. it is significant to see such a large piece of the roof sitting on the floor. so far, no one was injured, no additional property damage has happened beyond what came off of the building. back to you. it will be interesting to see if the residents choose to leave, due to possible water damage. it will be an interesting morning for many people waking up. thank you for that report. severe flooding caused a stretch of highway 10 want to be completely shut down for quite some time yesterday. cars were almost completely submerged in water. it was a

few ingredients that you need to allow for a thunderstorm to happen. you need a lifting mechanism, which we have. we have moisture and instability in the atmosphere, allowing for lightning activity. i went out to the window during my commercial break to get a video of the rain, and lightning happened over the bay bridge. we are seeing this consistently. this will continue to develop this afternoon. north of oakland, we have heavy storms tracking into the east. we will take this live over the coming hours, of what it really looks like on radar. you have a great visual when it comes to the bay bridge views. then i get to be careful. you can see these surfaces. keep your eyes peeled with debris in the roadway. we are seeing a lot of that this morning, with downed trees. we have flooding and ponding as well. let's get to the current traffic conditions. this is busy for commuters coming into san francisco. he be careful as you travel. the outlet pass commute is at 53 minutes. the

count. the neighbor passing by said there were folks living in the building at the time, and they were home at the time. they were encouraged to evacuate, but did not have to. since we have been here, we have not seen any other neighbors. we will remain on scene and continue to get a better sense of what happened to the roof of this particular apartment complex. back to you. i cannot imagine sleeping and having this happen. thank you so much. what a mess. we saw severe flooding in gilroy on 101 that caused the stretch of the highway to be shut down for quite some time. the cars were almost completely submerged in water. look at the video right there. that was a scary scene for anyone caught up in it. jocelyn's live in the area for us. i know that lanes are back open. i checked in with chp and traffic is moving okay. it looks like a lot of homes were affected out there.

>> reporter: that's right. there are several homes here that were under evacuation warnings in the area. you did mention , when it comes to the commute, this is a busy stretch of highway 101. we have a lot of people use this for their morning commute. thankfully the lanes were open. that was not the case yesterday. i will take you to video, aerial video. you can see there is one home submerged in the water, and a few cars e area as well. we take you to other video there. we have some of highway 101, and what it looked like yesterday. you can see why it was forced to shut down and cars were diverted. some of those streets were also flooded. thankfully for the homes in the area, authorities say they were able to go in and check on residents. they said they had safely evacuated. those in gilroy said they have never seen extensive flooding like this. this woman rushed to cosco during a break in the rain. the normal five minute drive turned into about two hours.

moving all around for us. what are you seeing where you are at? >> reporter: we were driving to a different location this morning, and we ran into a huge tree. we are just off of the expressway this morning. this uprooted tree, here on moorpark avenue, took out a power line. there are power outages around this area. the fire crews put up caution tape around it. we did note that the city of san jose reminds you to be aware of your surroundings this morning, especially if you are driving or walking. with the soil being so saturated, and windy conditions, we will likely see more and more of these trees. cars are flying on the avenue. i would not recommend that. pg& e power outage map shows that 5000 customers are without power this morning. some may be shocked when they wake up this morning. make sure you have flashlights and batteries, and extra phone chargers. here's something i noticed drivers doing. they drove

right through this area, where the caution tape is , don't do that. if there is caution tape or barriers around trees , or around flooding areas, don't drive through it, it is unsafe. we saw cars driving under this power line, this is not safe at all. it is frustrating when you see drivers doing that. your life is more important than trying to save a couple of minutes trying to get your destination. plan extra time, and do not drive through barriers. it will save your life, potentially. my gut feeling wish not to say that, but thank you for sharing that example. don't be a dingdong this morning. that is the ultimate word of advice. stay with us on this first alert weather day, as we do a damage through the bay area. find us on your phone's app, or on kpix.com. going off of that, we are seeing so many issues because people are going into the water. you were saying yesterday, only six inches of water you can lose complete

control of the car. >> a foot of rain will allow for your car to float off. these are things to think about during the early morning commute hours. you cannot even see outside. justin made a good point with that. >> the barriers are there for a reason. >> way to remind people that. we see people doing that anyway. that is good information. let's look outside. when it comes to the radar, it is a very active morning. let's zoom out toward concord and the tri-valley area.
