>> from the area's local news station, you're watching the kron. 4 morning news at 7. >> good morning. and thanks for waking up with us. it is raining some cases pretty intense, as you can see now between san francisco and san jose on a monday morning, we're waking up to a what looks to be a week. >> of wet weather ahead. and it's starting off with a lot of gusto this morning. yes, gusts of wind and rain and john has the details the another morning. yeah. here we go back at it. >> you can see the outside san francisco heavier rainfall is moving through right now. >> obviously, those buildings to be swaying. but if you were to see the trees, you would see them getting pushed around in the wind a little bit. we're going to be looking at this rain through the rest of the morning commute. so there's no beating it. you just got to prepare for it. if you do need to head out this morning. definitely a very noticeable atmospheric river associated with that right here searching offshore. it's

gradually going to shift further and further southward. so we actually clear out really nice later today. we're at right now is anything but clear, though, in fact, some really heavy rain right now impacting both to 81. 0, 1, as well as the san mateo bridge and the dumbarton bridge stretching from areas like san mateo down through mountain view and now on over into the east bay towards free month. some heavy rain for you. san jose pockets of heavy rain down there. san francisco now working its way on towards the bay bridge in the east bay hills. also in the midst of some heavier intensity rainfall north bay looking at petaluma right now, just north of you between a santa rosa in petaluma right there around rohnert park. you've got some heavier pockets, too. we'll continue to see this rain through the morning. so as i mentioned, there's no beating it. in fact, just take it slow or leave early. we start to clear on the north bay around 10:00am the rest of us more towards noon and then we actually get some sunshine this afternoon. tomorrow morning, another wet start

because of all this flood watches in effect for the bay. you see those pockets of red in the santa cruz mountains as well as up along the russian river. those are flood warnings where flooding is imminent and currently happening. futurecast, wind gusts is showing you. we have some 30 to 40 miles per hour gusts right now. so it's windy. it's wet. at least it is mild. but all in all, just take it slower in minimize travel time this morning. i know we got to get to work. it's monday, but try to do is little venturing out as you possibly can. i'll be talking more about what's to expect the rest of the week to still to come over to rain. all right, john, thank you for that. well, we have flooding across most of our highways. pretty bad here. >> southbound 2.80, north of farm hill road. and so they've blocked all the lanes. 82 would be a good alternate or 101. but again, look at how slow things are long, 101. also some reports of flooding northbound, 1, 1, whipple road and redwood city. and then a little further down. more reports of flooding. southbound 2.80, north of bird avenue in san jose drive slow downed tree. southbound 13

avenue blocking multiple lanes. and here flooding along 5.80, westbound. i-80 west certainly hit a pocket of water traveling along 5, 18, 80 this morning as i was commuting into work. so slow it down. let's check on the bay bridge. 35 minutes. things are very slow. you've got high winds. you have a lot of traffic slowly making their way trying to make it safely across the bay bridge into the city. 19 minutes a 80 to 101. we also have a 20 minute systemwide bar delay for you. if you are hopping on bar today, a richmond center fell ridge pretty slick and wet. 12 minutes tolls to 101, and more flooding. reports of that southbound 8 ats period boulevard in san lorenzo. and another accident north of davis street. a busy morning. definitely drive slow darya. james, back to her hands full because the ground is full of water and seeing a lot of flooding downed trees. just a big effect. >> the dominoes, although sure this is number 5 storm making

the commute a pretty difficult to get through a lot of problems for people. crawford's will trend. >> getting an idea what it's like in the south bay. he's been in san jose looking conditions well. >> the rain has picked up. so we saw all the water go down just a little bit. james and area. i'm on 87 southbound near the santa teresa off-ramp. and you can see chp couple of their officers are out here, just slowing down the cars and then, of course, getting them off at number 2, 3, lanes because of the flooding. now, over the past 30 minutes, something happen where the flood went down at its peak. it was near the cones, but it's gone down. but sure enough here comes the rain. sorry would not be surprising once again if it continues to go up and up again. southbound 87 is important because so many people use this to connect to 85 to either go to morgan hill, our mountain view officers, the bravest officer, i know because there are a lot

of cars, guys that come up pretty fast to him at the last minute. they realize wait a minute, these they're diverting us and then they make a left to go to the number one lane. the only if you can swing the camera back this way, take it easy would do this for 2 reasons. one, we'll show you just the traffic problems on 87. and with those headlights right in front of all of those raindrops, look at that guys. the raindrops coming down at this time. take it easy, especially 87. you can hear some cars already honking. so not a good day to have any road rage or be late to anything. back to you. all right. good advice. thank you. will leave early for sure. don't be stressed. trying to. >> you know, hitting the gas pedal error on roads when they're like this here everywhere. i did that very thing this morning left really early, went through marion county and over the golden gate bridge and in the north bay right now is sarah stinson looking at some hazards that actually develop? i think after i left the house, let's

see how she's doing now. center fell everywhere you now sarah. >> yeah. reporting now live in corte madera right by the lucky drive exit. we talk about this but often very prone to flooding. the wind is a lot stronger than when i last talked with you guys. it's very strong wind, heavy rain as well. constant rain at that. we're going zoom in here to show you what people are experiencing on 101, in the north and southbound lanes. but specifically this area on the northbound lanes when you're coming down this hill and then you've got to speed horses, no drivers right now, but there's also some flooding was some more flooding on the other side of looking drive as well. so you got flooding on both sides of the highway. here comes the driver. they did pretty well for themselves in depends on which linger. and i think it's the number 2 lane. that is the worst one. here comes another driver heading in not too bad. the truck. it's better if you have

a truck and a sedan. let me tell you because the it was this spot. roads driving earlier as those heading to center fell and it hit us hard. i almost hydroplaned i had a good one that we'll and breathe deeply because he just kind you know, let jesus take the carrie underwood song, just all the way gets very scary at this point. so make sure you're prepared for anything that may come at you this morning. a scene multiple roads floated flooded, rather. and let me tell you, it's not very bright out yet. so it's hard to see when things are flooded or not best to take it slow. i was behind some of the freeway was going 30 miles per hour. that's a little too slow. perhaps 40 45 50. that's what i was going. and that was a good speed for me to make sure i was prepared for anything ahead. so darya james, a very rough commute. and unfortunately, this rain is not letting up. in fact, it feels like it's getting stronger and the wind certainly is a lot stronger than last hour. >> and you have a great point

about like know what is the right speed 30, you might cause an accident. people coming around you and it's too slow. i was going on highway 17 over the weekend and some people whipping it like 70 miles an hour. and that was too fast. and then you get on your windshield. you know, for the other car. so you have to share the road. >> yeah, you know, go with the speed of traffic. but unfortunately, my opinion, i think people too fast in the bay area, even when it's raining and that's what we saw earlier in sandra fell. one people were going so fast and they weren't prepared for what was ahead and they got stuck. >> in flooded waters. and that's what happens. thanks for the warning. yeah. keep rolling around. look at those trouble spots. it's really help for folks who are at home and hadn't left for work at. we'll check that with you later. sure. >> all right. 7 await us the time and we just heard from pg e this hour about their latest. a power outage situation. so part of the story we always have to cover here during storms bay area wide. we're looking at about

17,000, 500 customers without power. that's the latest from pg. and e and their outage map shows where we're seeing the concentrations of outage. actually san francisco doing really well by comparison only 85 customers without power right now in the city, the peninsula. that's when the numbers sort of total up a little bit more. it depends on where you are. there's about 3600 customers without power for the entirety of the peninsula. you can see a large koester of them up near daily city. pacifica, south san francisco. it thins out as you head down 101 towards the south bay. we have another cluster out on terror along the coastline. no surprise there. they typically do see a lot of power outages when these storms kind of role in. let's take a look at the south bay and we're looking at roughly 1600 customers without power in all of santa clara county. and you can see it's very pretty sporadic. a lot of minor. that's what those green dots indicate the east bay. let's jump there. we're doing looks like for the east bay corridor that 6.80, ride, san ramon, dublin, danville, find a few more start. pop up,

though, as you head towards walnut creek and then northward towards martinez and that out along the east bay shoreline. last storm, we saw a big cluster of outages here along 80 from about the bay bridge up towards the richmond. sandra fell. but it's not doing too bad this morning. just a few pockets here and there. and then finally, last stop the north bay where we're looking at the ride, really, from the golden gate bridge all the way up towards rohnert park in santa rosa. and again, just a handful of outages here for the all of the north bay. there's about 11,000 little more than 11,000 customers without power. right now. we'll keep you updated as keeps reporting. new numbers for us throughout the morning show. sorry. all right. and if you live near a creek or river, we're watching that and you're seeing that rise and wondering what's going to happen next is a lot of concern, especially along the russian river. >> which is expected to reach flood levels today or tomorrow. the swift water rescue team sonoma county fire district. you can see them out over the weekend when there are some breaks in the weather in the milder weather allowed them on sunday to spend their time training in assessing what could happen. people who

live in that area along the vacation beach neighborhood of russian river say that they know what can happen for past floods. >> pj could not get to us to fix the power pole because of the flooded road. so you learn to be independent. you have generators. you have your it will propane cooking stove you. you just do without. you know, when you walk around, you talk to people when there's nothing else to do when you have no power. >> the swift water rescue team has boats ready in case of emergency, but also several locals who live along the river. they say they have their own canoes because they know what happens if the road turns into a river of sorts. that's the way you get around your own canoe or kayak. know that the national weather service is warning the downed trees. >> and roadway flooding is certainly going to be a major problem in the days ahead, especially for those living in areas along the coast. in fact, in half moon bay, residents there say it's been a pretty rough and windy week week and a half now some people lost power for days

during last wednesday storm and they're bracing for what may come this week. a lot of people we spoke with like fishermen, pat coyle, who work on the water, say these storms have had a pretty big impact now, their livelihood. >> it we've got to punch out there. beginning your for crab season. have to hear that. >> got out there. we haven't yet. >> and the flood watches in effect on the peninsula to until tuesday afternoon. the ripple effects of this storm system keep on coming. john. >> some heavy rain just moved over sfo. and you can see that tarmac is really wet. make sure to be checking on your flights this morning. likely to see some delays if not a couple cancellations. so make our way through the day things start to get a little bit better for heading outside our heaviest of rain this morning. showers decreasing by noontime afternoon. even some peeks of afternoon. even some peeks of

>> and we're back time now. 7.15, president joe biden has approved a state of emergency for california as storms continue to batter the state. the governor gavin newsom says the declaration is going make it easier for the state and federal governments to cut the red tape that often gets in the way and get resources where they need to go as quickly as possible. he says the state has already deployed swift water rescue teams, sandbags and flood operation centers to monitor flood hazards. the governor is urging everyone to take the storm seriously and stay off the roads if possible. >> these floods are deadly and

have now turned to be more deadly. then even the wildfires here in the state of california. common sense just be cautious over the course of the next week. particularly the next day or too. >> be careful. the governor says that his officers working around the clock right now to make sure that local responders have the resources they need. >> it's 7.16, in the north bay at carport came crashing down in rohnert park, crushing some cars as you can see here on snyder lane. it landed actually about 5 cars. but it seems that most of them didn't have too bad. the damage avoided something very that could have been much more serious. >> and in windsor, take a look at this driver who got stuck on a flooded roadway. this is west side road and it was 1 o'clock in the morning. oh, my gosh. you can see someone in there and they're kind of like, ok, so now what is example of what you need to be cautious of as you hit the

road today. you never know just how deep that water is until it's too late to 8. absolutely. all right. let's go to the east bay where we have niles canyon road still. >> shut probably for the next week ahead as cleanup efforts there continue. the road is still shut down in both directions. caltrans crews have been out there, as you can see here in this video cleaning up as much as they can following this latest round of wet weather. we had mudslides, landslides, debris, littering the highway. this guardrail was ripped to shreds now as canyon road is closed now between old canyon road in fremont, which is just east of mission boulevard and main street in sun. also find another way around that for a little while. and pleasant hill. police say that the city sandbag locations have been replenished, which is good news. those stations are located at city hall at pleasant oaks park at the pleasant hill community center. they're free, although you need to bring your own shovel if you want to fill those backs. >> and filling a bag societies, the fight for

rights. that's when you get that neighborhood. yeah, it is. and it's kind of nice when you prepare for storm and you're in a storm with other people. hopefully those other there this year showing beach other out and hopefully respectful of everybody sharing the roads because one person driving it dangerously affects everybody. and when you're looking at heavy rain coming, especially right now in san you've got to leave the house early. just be cautious because one wrong move by. you affects a lot of other getting asked john during the break with a little bubble looking at things there on the mat will reports of you can see there's a whole lot be and that heavy rain. you can see it in the yellow pretty close to those flooded spots, too. >> it's just all adding up. i mean, one storm after the next after the next. it's just continuing across the bay this morning. we have heavier pockets of rain fall. that will remain through the course of your morning commute here. we just saw those heavy rains pushing a onto the half moon bay coastline and pushing further inland. now we are going to continue to see moderate rain throughout the course of the morning. so make

sure you're giving yourself extra time as you're getting out there. right now. we're dressed a gradually shifting atmospheric rivers moving a little bit further southward. so we're starting to see the evidence of drying up in northern sonoma county. the first signs of drying most of that moisture starting to shift further south. still definitely in the bay, though, east bay northeastern part of the bay up into solano county and then especi lly right around san jose is james and darya were mentioning are looking at some of our heaviest of rain, san francisco in a bit of a low. you'll see an uptick in rainfall, though, here quickly. our bridges subject to some really strong winds as winds push up on into the bay area. mostly from the south this morning. futurecast shows those pockets of heavy rain continuing over the next few hours. there's your drying across the north bay initially as the atmospheric river pushes southward will start to dry out further and further south. and by the noon hour, we're actually looking pretty consistently drive peeks of sunshine this afternoon and a nice afternoon to get back outside for a bit tomorrow

morning. we're right back to it. heavy downpours possible in spots across the bay area for your morning commute tomorrow. and these isolated showers continue all day long for your tuesday, especially heavy during our morning commute as well as our evening commute. unfortunately, all this rain continues to add up. we've got an additional one to 4 inches of rainfall just over the next couple of days. we'll add up on top of that. an additional 3 to 8 inches of rain by the time we reach next week. so we just continue this wet pattern. areas in the santa cruz mountains, the russian river. and right along ukiah, seeing some of our flood warnings in red while the rest of us across the bay and flooding risk with flood advisories continue through tomorrow night and high wind warnings continue through 10:00am. this morning gusts as high as 50 miles per hour. the sierra seeing wind gusts as high as 70 miles per hour. and as we see a lot of new snow piling up there, we see the risk of whiteout conditions as well as some drifting snow on roads advised not to be heading up into the sierra

today, waiting until better conditions 50's for daytime highs. that's exactly where we're sitting right now. so no different come this afternoon. temperature wise that how we're starting the morning and really not much different for the rest of the week, either. rain today, tomorrow into wednesday, slim chance of a few showers on thursday. but that's going to be our before a very wet weekend yet again, rain. that will we have reports of flooding all across the map. >> flooding so bad here. let's i didn't actually shut down the highway there. southbound 2.80, north of farm hill road. so you might want to take 82 because you also are seeing flooding hasn't shut down the highway. the northbound 1, 1, or whipple avenue, redwood city. you can still get through. but still reports of flooding a little further down south bound 2.80, north of bird avenue. these are the only flooding reports we're seeing. so you certainly want to drive slow here in the city. southbound 101, to 80 east that connector and reports of flooding. southbound 2.80, north ocean

avenue and a traffic collision a little further down in south san francisco. that's south of airport boulevard. so again, as you're traveling, nothing but delays and drive times going up. 31 minutes. you have high winds across the bay bridge and also high winds across most of our bridges. 19 minutes. it's 80 to 101. as you're heading across towards the peninsula. a richmond sandra fell bridge certainly coming down here. everybody's traveling much lower this morning. that's good to do so about. 38 drive times going up along the golden gate bridge because of flooding as you're traveling along 101, here in the east bay southbound 13 the avenue got a downed tree lanes are blocked. there and then eastbound 5.80, at have another traffic collision, slowing things down in some flooding reports as you're traveling along 5.80, westbound, 80 west here, a little further down in the east bay. still we go. san leandro northbound 80 north of davis street. you have a traffic collision and some

flooding cellphone 80 and he's fearing boulevard. so definitely certainly seen a lot of issues here in the north. a southbound one. what emmanuel t freed is parkway. you have flooding so definitely everybody's drive in much lower as you're traveling to san rafale. and if you are catching bart 20 minutes systemwide bar delay a lot going on this morning. definitely leave a lot definitely leave a lot earlier. we

i'm a vegas hotel. i know what you're thinking - it's cool, i don't want anything too serious either. just a fun, spontaneous thing.

i'm looking for someone who will let loose. dress up a little. see a show. order the steak and the lobster. some people say i'm excessive, but who cares. i'm just looking for a saturday to remember, and a sunday by the pool. think you can keep up? meet leon the third... leon the second... and leon... the first of them all. three generations, who all bank differently with chase. leon's saving up for his first set of wheels... nice try. really? this leon's paying for his paint job on the spot... and this leon, as a chase private client, he's in the south of france, taking out cash with no atm fees. that's because this family of leons has chase. actually, it's león. ooh la la! one bank for now. for later. for life. chase. make more of what's yours. >> in east bay, the body of a missing 19 year-old named a

minute lazenby junior of pittsburgh was found saturday near highway 4 between poor chicago and willow pass road in concord thing is the family and officials had searched that area for a week and they found nothing and then suddenly saturday the body was found in that already searched area. so not only have a look at several times and there's another clue as they see it. the clothing on the body was clean and dry. so they're thinking that somebody dumped the body sometime early saturday afternoon and it wasn't there the whole time. >> weather's been pretty bad, horrible. so he was entire 7 days. he's close with that. >> it definitely is very suspicious. a weird that he would be right there with it. >> we know dry, everything. >> so the family thing said something is wrong they're wanting to solve the mystery. and so are police. so if you think you saw something, please contact the police, if you saw anything along highway

4, especially as what they're concerned about. >> well, san francisco police are asking for your help now as they're looking out for a man suspected of killing a person in the mission this week. 21 year-old christopher aguilar rojas is accused of shooting 2 men and 2 women early friday morning. one of the men died from his injuries. the other is in critical condition. the 2 women are expected to be okay. but police say rojas is considered armed and dangerous. they have issued a warrant for his arrest. if you have any information on his whereabouts, call police 7.27. >> and let's take a look at stormtracker four's. we go to the break. well, at least up most of the yellow has moved out from along the coast. so it doesn't look like we have another wave of really heavy rain coming in san jose. a still getting some here and all of those little bubbles that are blue. those represent flooded areas. the floods are getting worse. we'll be back with team -seriously? -why do you do it? -you ignore the signs and the flashing lights.

-that's my dad. -that's my mom behind those cones. -how would you feel if that was your family? -flashing lights mean "move over." (vo) if you overdraw your account, wells fargo gives you an extra day grace period to avoid the overdraft fee. what if everything came with a grace period? like accidentally parking where you shouldn't... (driver 1) hey what about this one? (driver 2) nah... that one gets an extra day. (driver 1) somebody got lucky. (vo) like having an extra day grace period? when it comes to overdrafts, you can with wells fargo.

-listen up. why do you drive so fast?? you're ignoring the and the flashing lights. please slow down. pay attention. how would you feel if that was your mom? flashing lights mean move over.

>> 7.30, right now. and before you head out the door, you're going want to see what you're in for that. we've apps in our live shots going this morning. team coverage was going to say, bring the umbrella, probably rain. koch is an umbrella is going to get caught in the win because it's pretty blustery outside. i was trying to protect the dogs. you taking the piney this morning. i was taking the wind and rain and putting didn't help. didn't help didn't help. but i did have an umbrella over them. we've got john in the weather center with more on the john. so dogs come on. just you know, way. it is going to be a morning to get out there as quick as you can and give yourself as much time

as you can to make sure that you are driving to work. nice and slow. i was driving to work and 50 miles per hour. max for me on those highways, your look out there right now shows you that we do have a lot of gray and a lot of rain falling. >> the breeze continues along with it, too. so it's windy. it's wet. another way that we're starting this week much like we have been up fear river. pretty evident. that's that cloud cover that shifting a little bit further southward. now. so you're starting to see a little less rain across the north bay. still wet, though. heaviest of rain right now is in areas like san jose zooming in down there in the santa clara valley, especially up towards the blows and mount diablo of the east bay. in the midst of some heavy rain and strong winds, too 5.80, highway for 6.80, all of it so wet and solano county. you're in the midst of some heavy showers, too. definitely keeps going through the morning commute. so don't try to beat it. it's just something we've got to deal with. as for late this morning, we're already seeing conditions drying out a little bit for the north bay. we'll

continue to see that happening on towards after the 10:00am hour and by noontime, you still have some cloudy skies but are looking a lot drier, a little peek of sunshine this afternoon. tomorrow morning. you see it right there. we're right back to it with heavy, isolated downpours. now we do have flood advisories extended through tomorrow night. i'm not going to be surprised at all at their extended further. we have flood warnings for the santa cruz mountains, the russian river and up into portions of mendocino county warnings where flooding is already happening. and we do have reports of that in all of these areas. i just showed him as for futurecast wind gusts, it stays windy. 36 mile per hour winds in san francisco right now. that's what you're running into is across the bridges 50's for current temperatures. it's a fairly mild morning, but a wet and a windy one. now. so much going on out there. we have a lot to talk about on the roads. rain has been keeping you updated on all of it. what's the latest? we'll have flooding across the board, john. so if you're traveling along 2.80, southbound north of farm hill road, all lanes were blocked.

thankfully, a lane is open, but still. >> the flooding is pretty severe. the year northbound north a little avenue, more flooding little further down south bound to 80 north of bird avenue in san jose. you have flooding there as well. the map all across just yellow and red because it's low across most of all of our highways. south fell on a one 80 east flooding southbound 2.80, north of the ocean avenue in san francisco. flooding there in an accident. south san francisco, southbound 101, south of south airport. dry. our bridges right now. so with that water, 30 minutes into the city right now, high winds also a factor drive slow drive slow drive slow. 20 minutes. heading across towards the peninsula. 13 minutes richmond center fell bridge and there's a 20 minute systemwide. bart delay. so if you're having a large today or over the next few days, just factor that in bart's going to be slow because of the weather. about 40 minutes across the golden gate bridge here in the east bay 5.80, westbound i-80 west. we have some flooding, a downed tree southbound 13 at

the raw the avenue and eastbound 5, atf, 13 south in oakland, another traffic collisions. so don't know how long will these issues are going to be around? but it's certainly a slow day. daria james. as that's why we're out to give you a live looks away are in for and if you are coming from the north bay. >> we've got reports of flooding and hazardous roadways. that's been a problem all morning long. kron 4 sarah stinson has been sort of moving around. >> gauging what it's been like in various spots. good morning, sara. >> hey there. good morning. that's right. we're live in corte madera by the lucky drive exit. we're actually seeing flooding on both sides, both north and southbound lanes of the lucky drive exit all get out of the way. so you can see what's going on out here. very slick roads, saturated roads and it's at least the sun is coming up because earlier it was super dark and you couldn't even tell where there was flooding and where there wasn't. and it got to be pretty hairy in certain areas like here and

then over and lucas valley road. we actually saw several cars drove into flooded lanes. they got stuck and had to shut down the freeway. so that was a perfect example of the fact going a little bit slower today, taking a little slower that way. you are prepared for what is ahead. sometimes even when the sun is up, you can see just how flooded it is. now we're taking a look right now at the northbound lanes and it looks like people are doing pretty good eye figured out the 3rd lane from the right to basically lay number 3. that one is the problem. and when you're heading northbound on these lanes, heading from looking drive, this area can be very scary because you're coming from a downhill coming down. the hill you're gaining, says speed and you forget that there's a huge part linger right there. and then you can hide your plane and get to a scary situation. so take it slow out there. it's not a fun, camille, let's just say how it is. it's not going to be a fun come you, but you have to just take it

slow or be patient with it and make sure that, you know, you're you're not going to driving like you would if it was, you know, a sunny day. this is a another storm we have and it's going to be a bad day because the rain, he's pnot letting up. so darren james ray not letting up. the winds are picking up that way. you know, you have to have both hands on the wheel that way. if that wind gusts hit 2 and then you hit a a flooded area, you're prepared and you'll be ok, honestly, james darya you, you kind of just have to breathe through it a few times. i was like. we've got free through it. what do you have to get through? are you like waterproof answer. what? rain boots? what's what's down? got the right. >> area of oh, oh, you know out. okay. approve. head to

taste of the worst drive i think is you know how highway 17 is always so perilous. yeah. and i drove highway 17 over the weekend. yeah. >> and carmel up to san jose, the sharks game. oh, my gosh. it was pretty dangerous and i saw people going too fast and hydroplaned you don't need to go very fast to hydroplane. we they say all you need is just a wet road and that's enough. >> to make you lose traction if you're going too fast. yeah, and i'm glad to see everyone going pretty slow on my morning commutes this morning. i was driving in. we were all just like. >> eason, our way on those roads because, yeah, even going fairly slow is going around 40 at times. i was still hit in some spots out there. i could feel the tug on my car from the hydroplaning and you're really going to feel that if you're heading up into the sierra today because not just is it snowy, you see how much will humble that camera has. we have 70 mile per hour wind gusts up there. any loose snowfall. he's going to be pics to pics. pick right up whiteout conditions possible blowing snow and drifting snow on roadways. so
