still showering out there now, but we're heading into a period that's going to be relatively dry as we move forward, so that's helpful. right. creeks come down trees come, things have a chance to dry out. but we are saturated, and that's why we are having tree issues. here's the storm total so far. yeah they're much less than forecast in this atmospheric river event, which is fortunate. actually you hate to be wrong, but it's good to be wrong on something like that. but the idea that the winds last night and yesterday that was the story i mean wind gusts down to near just above sea level of 100 miles an hour and a cossio hills 101 miles an hour. mount diablo 74 miles an hour, so we had some street flooding because the ground saturation we had some trees down because of these ridiculously strong winds and in the mountains of snow is really just started going. i think the story, though, with yesterday's storm, and i think you would agree as the wind lots of problems and not we're just we're going to cover a bunch of these problems for you're going to see pictures of trees down. but that we didn't get to your backyard backyards. there's a

lot of trees down lots of issues and more stuff in the storm range. now with the trees when i come back, we're going to look at the forecast. we've got an interesting long run of rain coming our way. we got some breaks, too. so there's some kind of good news will drag i'll track that will open that up when i get back. all right, bill. thank you. and a quick reminder. you can always stay on top of the storm tonight and throughout the weekend with the ktvu weather app. it has current conditions alive radar and the extended forecast it is free to download for your iphone in santa cruz county, the coastal town of capitola got absolutely slammed the storm driven. see surge ripped the wharf in half a major damage also seen in the downtown village along monterey avenue. ktvu is jesse gary live tonight in capitola with more on the damage and the clean up work, jesse that might take a while here. mike yeah, that cleanup work that began this morning continues into the evening hours. when we first arrived, they were using front end loaders to remove large pieces of debris from monterey avenue tonight, using street

sweepers to try to clear the last of the mud that's caked the street. however her businesses like the landmark zelda's, it's going to take months, not hours to recover. capitola thursday, storm surge has transformed the esplanade of the village district into mostly beach with few functioning businesses damage right now. i've seen really severe dominic kings bay bar and grill is barely accessible, storm driven waves pushed high tide four ft, higher than normal and over the protective seawall. what we saw at that point was water coming out of the banks of so called creek and inundating people's homes, inundating businesses in the capital village. strong waves also damaged capital, a centuries old landmark worf and sent at least one piece of lumber into zelda's restaurant. beachside eatery now has plenty of beach but no way to open its

doors. upwards of nine businesses are in the same boat. business owners around here are trying to kind of help each other out. what's going on? i know we have another week of rain. every day. it's just about trying to see how bad things are shocking. yeah i've worked here for almost two decades, and i have not seen that before. during the morning news conference capitalist city officials reiterating a mandatory evacuation order for the area remains in effect. we're also looking at the erosion on the cliff sides, too. so there was some concern about some of the erosion so we have crews out kind of taking a look at that evaluated. back at the village and angry ocean remains a threat to the businesses that have already been damaged and to the ones that are still intact, type of damage that we're seeing. worse than anything. we that was gonna happen. and i checked in with the police chief

equipment to remove branches and pull up tree trunks around the city. the department of public works says it had reports of some 300 trees or tree branches down over the last day and a half with the likelihood of more to come down with more rain in the forecast. when you have high winds with saturated ground that makes the trees more vulnerable to failures, vehicles trapped by down trees as dps crews scrambled from one incident to the next, the department of public works says if trees fall into the public thoroughfare, they'll hand but when they fall on private property, it falls on the property owner to clear it. a common sight around san francisco this tree down in saint francis wood, city, crews say, with saturated ground and more wind and rain in the forecast, residents can expect to see more trees and limbs come down, impacting travel and power lines. stay away from the power lines called 911. and then the city officials and the utility crews come out and deal with it. city crews say that they're

scrambling from one down tree or branch to the next, they say if residents see a down tree or a down branch, and it's not impacting traffic, and it's not down on some power lines or money lines, it could be up to a week or more until they respond to those incidents. those non emergency incidents because they say they are simply so many trees and tree limbs down. we're live in san francisco. christien kafton ktvu fox. two news, logjam of repairs and things that need to get taken care of christian. thank you. and for homeowners and landlords with even minor damage. it could take awhile as we just mentioned to make repairs at 5 30 the reason behind a backlog for restoration crews also ahead. two teenagers are in custody in connection with the killing of a security guard in san francisco. what witnesses said they saw in a moment leading up to the shooting. but first the storm caused a number of issues for caltrain this morning. the work needed to get trains running smoothly in time for the afternoon commute.

saturated soil took a toll on this tree and ultimately, caltrain without warning. the 80 ft eucalyptus fell, pulling down power lines, smashing through a fence and crashing across the tracks. i was planning to go to san francisco on the train i heard about the tree falling. irvin dawid lives here in burlingame and says he never thought the destruction would be this bad or the cleanup last this long because of the poles and the wires. it becomes one #### of a job. i mean, just look what they're doing right now. they're they're not working on. they haven't even started removing the tree. step one reduced tension in the un electrified power lines intended for cal trains. future fleet. just look at these wires. i've watched these wires go up. it sort of breaks my heart seeing them in this terrible, terrible condition. but you know, mother nature. all morning. long thursday, caltrain was forced to

stop service between hillsdale and millbrae. workers dealing with damage and disruptions. basically it's all hands on deck until this storm is done. we're just going to make sure things stay clear as possible and keep those trains running as best we can. cruz cutting, chopping and chipping, knowing with more rain could come more work if other trees toppled. ultimately there's a lot of trees along our corridor. it is a potential concern, so we're just putting eyes on the ground, making sure we can keep an eye on things and dealing with any problems that may arise. and by mid afternoon , the problem was no more trains back on these tracks back to business as usual. now there still is a lot of repair and restoration work that has to happen to that overhead electrical project. no estimate on when that will be completed, but caltrain did say it is running back on its regular schedule. live in burlingame, brooks jarocz. ktvu fox two news . yeah that was quite a tangled

one right after the other. significant storms, and they're going to bring significant amount of rain over the course of a number of days, so it's not happening all at once. and the key to these is the break. so here's a break right here. so that gives us a break, probably until saturday, sunday, and then we get this thing on saturday, sunday, then we're gonna get a slight break, hopefully on sunday night afternoon into tuesday more into monday morning , and then we get hit with this, but they're lined up. lots can happen between now and then. but it's a very active pacific. one thing to notice. see how the jet stream like this, so this is a zonal flow drawing there. so it's kind of like this right? that's that's that's an atmospheric river path, right? and it's in a straight line. jetstream has a tendency it can easily buckle and change. in other words, go from this pattern to go to this pattern and get a wave on it. and when you get a wave on it, you're going to change the forecast out three or four days. so what i'm just pointing out to you is a lot is going to happen between

saturday and monday and tuesday and wednesday and thursday. next week. we're lined up. the storms are lined up where they hit is a whole nother deal. um okay, so here's the model for tomorrow. i want to show you. the clearest clear skies are not clear skies but relatively dry conditions. santa cruz late tonight, you get late tonight early tomorrow morning. maybe some thunderstorms. but for the most part pretty dry and then watch it on saturday or friday. see that it's right there in the north bay, but it's not a day luge, and that's a bit of a break. and then there saturday, so again the whole game here and i've been doing this a long time is the brakes. if you get breaks in these storms, you can manage a lot of water and we're going to have to see you back here a little bit, with the full forecast. all right. we'll see you then. bill thank you. the winter storm continues to be a welcome sight at crs ski resorts. the snow has been falling steadily in mammoth lakes, the mammoth mountain ski resort has received up to 24 inches of new snow over the past 24 hours and more is expected to fall. it already has more than 14 ft of snow at the summit in
