6:02 pm
and it is part of what they are expecting. >> a lot of mixed emotions with the inauguration tomorrow. many people celebrating. some people as frank mentioned protesting. what's the vibe been like overall in dc? >> reporter: it's interesting. to your point it is pretty much split. trump supporters -- there's a sense of palpable energy kind of funneling through the air. but those who are trump detractors, a lot more anxiety, people don't want to be part of this. as you know right now, close to 70 democratic house lawmakers who are planning to boycott this themselves. so there's a lot of divisiveness. going into this inauguration tomorrow. and party lines are split. trump supporters obviously jubilant. those who don't like him are not happy about it. >> i don't know if you know the answer to this but i was listening to reports earlier today talking about how frantic white house workers are when they are moving the obama's out
6:03 pm
and moving the trump's in. that they literally only have about five hours to do that tomorrow before donald trump takes residence in the white house. >> reporter: that is exactly true. and i can answer that accurately because i did a story on this two weeks ago that ran on fox news. that's exactly it. they have five hours. the movers come and the rugs get pulled up. and the bedding goes out. president obama now has a rental in a pretty -- known as kalorama. they've already begun moving his belongings in there. and now they have got to get president-elect trump's stuff into the white house. come tomorrow and there's a short five hour window of time to do that. >> definitely not an easy task there. joel waldman in the nation's capital, thank you. san francisco as we mentioned is expecting protests and rallies that could rival the pope's election march. looking at here. on friday a rally is set for

6:06 pm
to protest on the freeway. not only is it illegal but it's extremely dangerous as well. >> reporter: bart police will be girding for more traffic at a station. bart will be running longer trains all day friday and saturday not just during the commute hours. more officers will be on duty. >> we're going to have more officers on the streets or in the stations i should say. patrolling the station and really helping out with crowd control if that should become an issue. >> reporter: i want to share a statement issued by oakland mayor libby schaaf just a few minutes ago. she says now more than ever is the time to double down and go in hard for the things we believe in and what we know is right. it is possible to do it with compassion and without apology. and for police they say they can do it if the protesters don't do it with violence or vandalism. that's the latest from oakland. henry lee, ktvu fox 2 news. >> let's hope things stay peaceful. thank you. our coverage continues at 6:30. hear from a man who has a ticket to attend but he says he's not doing. and he's also not going to give

's first -- first to christina rendon in martinez. contra costa has already declared a local state of emergency. because of millions of dollars in storm damage. >> reporter: that's exactly right. this is the proclamation of local emergency signed by the county administrator this morning. it is the first step towards the county possibly receiving federal funds for repairs. the view from sky fox shows the biggest repair needed in contra costa county. the public works department says it could take up to a year before the wide gap in alhambra valley road is fixed. >> it's all good. we go that way. >> reporter: the county is declaring a local emergency after storms led to flooding. mudslides, sinkholes and property damage. more in territory road may reopen entirely next week. between marsh creek and manning road. where flooding and mudslides are a concern. >> majority of damage occurs on the road. with mud runs and of course alhambra valley road. we also have some erosion in our flood control channel and some minor damage at some of

6:10 pm
supervisors in a special meeting next thursday for ratification. frank? >> christina rendon, thank you. team coverage continues with bill martin. he joins us now. we're in between storms right now. we've been talking about the morning commute for tomorrow. it's going to be pretty ugly. >> it is. the texture of heavy, heavy rain standing water maybe some rockslides or mudslide concerns on the roadways. it's going to happen late tonight or early tomorrow morning. and dark i think early morning commuters, the other night i was coming home and coming off an off ramp. and all of a sudden there's the mud swamp. because the soil is saturated. a couple inches of rain overnight is going to send things down. so be prepared for the unusual especially in the dark morning hours when the heaviest rain is going to be moving through. we got a lot of rain the other day. up over four inches of rain. have a foot of rain up in the novato area. this next weather system,
6:11 pm
showing up a little early which is good. today was a good break day. a few showers but we got a real nice break. things settled down. tonight into the early morning hours tomorrow, this next storm hits giving us an opportunity for some lesser rain accumulations in the afternoon. heaviest rain is going to be right here. about 2:00 a.m. when the heaviest rain gets here. that's why i'm worried about the morning commuters because that's -- rainfall rates could be an inch and a half an hour. standing water so you may not be driving a 2:00 a.m. or 4:00 a.m. or 5:00 a.m., but when you do get on the road, at 7:00 a.m., there is standing water and the whole bit. so i want you to be prepared for that. there's the forecast. a wet friday morning commute. when i come back we're going to push this all the way through and this is storm number 2. number 3 has got bigger teeth than this one than the last two. so we'll talk about the rest of this and storm number 3 next time i see you.

6:15 pm
well, we knew it was coming. now it's official. the nfl announced the raiders submitted an application to relocate to las vegas. sports director mark ibanez is here. another sign that not al davis, mark davis is serious about going to las vegas. what happens next? >> i think the next big mark on the calendar is late in march i believe the 25th when the nfl owners will vote. no surprise today that the raiders applied for relocation. now the owners have to ratify it if you will and then on to
6:16 pm
getting the financing done. which leaves the question, what about that ronnie lott group that was trying to keep the raiders here? ronnie today was quoted as saying they are still in the game and they plan on winning. if you know anything about ronnie lott he believes every word he says. we had earlier former ceo of the raiders of amy trask who addressed just that topic. ronnie lott's group. >> he is a sensational. i wish him all the best. the issue ronnie has in that deal is the same thing in las vegas. a third party looking to take a piece of the prize. fortress investment group is known throughout the financial community as loan to own. they drive a very, very hard bargain and would want a large piece of the pie. just as is the case with sheldon adelson. >> so there you go. i was trying to throw in oakland raider optimism because ronnie lott believes he can still get it done but the fact of the matter is the raiders
6:17 pm
have not ever met with ronnie lott's group. >> i remember when talking with city leaders when they were discussing their plans and coming up with something to keep the raiders here. they said they have to actually sit down at the table with us first so we can talk about what we're going to do and what we can do. >> pretty clear that mark davis is not interested in that. full steam ahead. that organization and a lot of their people under mark davis have spent plenty of time about 200 days down in las vegas this past year in preparation for all this coming to fruition. so they are not about to entertain an oakland idea at this juncture. so i would say at this time, if there is no roadblock in las vegas impeding that moved, there's no reason for them to sit down and talk to the oakland officials or ronnie lott's group at all until they run into a major roadblock.
6:18 pm
>> almost seems like this is not a case where he's playing one group against the other. it feels like at least right now, the move to las vegas is what has the momentum. >> no question about it. which also leads to the next question. what happens to the raiders in the interim between when the great stadium in las vegas is to be built and here, probably two to three years, there would be a lame duck team and i think the loyalty of the raiders fans would get a huge test. are you going to stick around and support the silver and black knowing full well they are full throttle headed toward las vegas? that will be an interesting story in itself. >> i don't know about that loyal. >> you were saying in houston, the houston fans were really ticked. >> a lot of the players said it was the worst time they could ever remember but mark davis has gone on record saying the team won't try and play at unlv or anything like that. much like the chargers have agreed to start cultivating a los angeles following. so it's going to be an
6:19 pm
interesting next few months but i think the next major mark on your calendar is the nfl owners meeting and everything could change again then. if we get a no vote on that. >> yeah. mark, thank you. oakland mayor libby schaaf issued a statement that said quote oakland has something no other city ever will. a diehard fan base as mark mentioned that is loyal and true to the raiders and wants to see them stay here in oakland. where they were founded. only oakland begins -- actually brings the raiders and the nfl a competitive stadium proposal along with legacy and loyalty. back down to the weather. a mess created by our recent storms at a well-known park in the east bay. even though the floodwaters have receded del valle park is still closed tonight to visitors. rob roth tells us the park may actually stay closed until the end of the month. possibly even longer. >> reporter: at del valle park in livermore, this is the first area to get water coming up
6:20 pm
over the banks. floodwaters have finally receded unveiling an absolute mess. >> i've never seen the flooding before like this. >> reporter: jeff manley a manager with east bay regional park district showed us around this popular part. it's close to the public. >> no electricity. no sewer. the debris makes it very unsafe to be out. >> reporter: the beach is covered in tree limbs driftwood and mud that washed up when lake del valle overflowed its banks during a massive brainstorm on january 7. to give you an idea of how high the water came up here, i'm about six feet tall. and this is the water line. here is a photo of that same building before the water levels dropped. picnic tables were also submerged. now covered in debris. the volleyball courts were their own lakes and it will have to be cleaned up in an estimated cost of half a million dollars. >> it's going to take a while because conditions are so muddy. they can't get out in the vehicle and hiking in. there's over 20 miles of trail.
6:21 pm
>> reporter: the royal del valle creek is still running strong but there is erosion. ironically at the height of last summer's drought it wasn't running at all. during the storm the creek caused the lake level to rise. >> the waters started backing up. into the creek. it did flood areas of the campground. and through this velocity of the water it was jumping the banks. >> reporter: the same problem could happen again. >> there's always that concern. that we may get a flood event coming in. because we are in this rainy pattern. so we definitely have to keep reassessing the forecast. >> reporter: the park is closed until the end of january. and it's possible it could stay closed even longer. in livermore, rob roth, ktvu fox 2 news. plenty of snow up in the mountains. snow report is not lacking for snow. we've got lots of it. bases over 120 inches. 160 at kirkwood.

the next system rolls in late tonight or early tomorrow morning. there it is starting to get some green going. some saturation going just offshore. so that starts to move in but like showers until one or 2:00 a.m. and then not like showers. and then it's going to be wet. the wins last night it was interesting if you were with us but we had wind gusts -- not gusts. this is a sustained wind in yellow. we had sustained winds in fairfield of 46 miles an hour. sustained. gusting well above that. sustained winds at 46. that's what you find in a tropical storm. i don't know if i've seen that from that direction. i'm sure it's happened but i haven't seen it. so sustained wind is. not dusting. it's just like pretty impressive. so there's tomorrow morning. this is it. does not look that bad but the real heavy rain shows up pretty much before the sun comes up so let me go back. scattered showers. but here is the real rain.
6:50 pm
this is about after frank and i and eliana leave tonight it's going to start to go. it is going to prompt small stream flood advisories. most of us will be asleep. heavy rain at 4:00 a.m. heavy rain in san jose at five and 6:00 a.m. the roads are wet. and standing water. and perhaps some sliding and what have you, rocks in the roadway for your morning commute. friday morning commute is not going to be great. look at the rest of the day on friday. scattered showers. all about tomorrow morning. then we get into saturday. that's our brick day. late tomorrow and a break all day saturday. then this guy comes in. there he is. sunday morning and sunday is going to be the biggest storm by far. i think it's going to deliver two and three inches. maybe four inches in some places. but the brakes are saving us. >> all right. thank you. stay with us.

putting it. not to anybody's surprise but they have officially filed for relocation which of course that would be to las vegas. let's say the owners vote in march to go ahead and approve that move after analyzing all the information the raiders give them. then you have the financing situation to actually make it all happen and move to the very next step after that. we talked with former ceo amy trask about that. and the financing that would come theoretically from las vegas. >> they are not doing a deal like this for altruistic reasons. so i have to smile anytime someone says to me, you know, sheldon adelson is going to want to get a really good deal for himself. no kidding. of course he's going to want to get a good deal for himself. that's what he does. ownership of course a different issue. because the lead has very, very
6:55 pm
strict issues with respect to owners and gambling and although a move to las vegas wouldn't be negatively impacted by a gambling -- the fact there's gambling in las vegas, there would have to be a lot of work done to isolate him before he could own any. >> many questions yet to be answered. and you could say that with regard to the 49ers coaching situation although the man they are zeroing in on kyle shanahan was named the offensive coordinator of the year with the atlanta falcons who have plenty of business left of their own to take care of with regard to the playoff game. for the right to go to the super bowl. the falcons against green bay in the a.t.l. this weekend shanahan however can't avoid being asked about all the reports that say he is basically a sure thing to take over the 49ers coaching situation. >> i think there's some interest obviously. but i thought that in my interview a couple weeks ago. looking forward to a chance to where you can speak to people
6:56 pm
again but there's a lot of stuff out there. my friends growing up hearing all this stuff. but everyone wants to ask me what's going on and i don't know. i'm in my office looking at film all day. there's nothing i'm allowed to do about it. i have an idea after the game. i don't know what day there will be. whether it is monday or the following week. i'm not sure. right now i truly don't care. >> yeah. you can't put them on the spot because anything he says might be a violation of the rules. meantime, remember the lean days when the warriors could only dream of having an nba all- star? it is more than reality these days. kevin durant leading the pack. he will start for the western conference. his eighth straight appearance as an all-star. obviously his first with the warriors. and he is starting for the sixth time leading the warriors with 26.2 points a game and he will be joined in the backcourt, steph curry going against -- again for the fourth straight time. is the first warrior to go to

i've invented a science joke, would you like to hear it? sure. how many edisons does it take to screw in a light bulb? how many? who cares? he stole the idea and doesn't deserve his own joke. is that really true? of course, that's how you know it's a good joke. it not only entertains, it informs. hey, sorry to interrupt. uh, barry, uh, how many edisons does it take to screw in a light bulb? did you know edison didn't actually invent the light bulb? what do you want, barry? just wanted to drop this off as a little thank you for amy. what's this for? your idea really helped me out. my light-cone quantization paper's online already. the response has been amazing. well, that's fascinating. i can't wait to read it. oh, no, me as well. uh, please e-mail it to sheldon@bazinga.biz. why "dot-biz"? because i just gave you the business.
