Now at Six students in the San
Diego Unified School District ae
getting ready to head back to c.
School was postponed yesterday
due to Hillary, but they'll
be back in classes here soon.
And yes, Hillary leaving her man
San Diego for taking a look at e
damage left behind and why geologists
now say we're not in the clear just yet.
Plus, former President Donald
Trump prepares to surrender in
Georgia the conditions of his bd
and what he's not allowed to do.
We've got sunshine on
the back end of Hillary.
That means temperatures are goig
to be warming up and we'll get
more sunshine in the forecast.
It is 6:00 AM You're up with CB.
So glad you're with us.
6:00 AM on this Tuesday,
everyone. I'm Eric Connors.
And I'm Ned at Iran port.
It's a big day today right now.
San Diego Unified students starting to
wake up maybe hitting snooze one
alarm or popping right out of b.
Yeah. They may not have had the best sleep
because they're super excited right now.
Day of school. Exactly. Distric.
They were supposed to have the t
day of school yesterday, but of course,
Hillary delayed that first day of school.
And now it's going to be today,
right. So the district planning to kick
off the new year with a big celebration
at Hoover High School this morn.
And that's where CBS8's Dan Mare
Mcnichol is joining us live this
morning there at Hoover High.
Who ride, it says on that side behind you.
Good morning, Dan Marie.
Good morning, Eric and Nana.
I love covering the first day of school.
I remember being so excited
here in San Diego to attend.
And you know what?
In just an hour at 7:00 AM,
we're going to have cheerleader,
we're going to have a performane
from the mariachi band.
But before we get into all of t,
I do want to touch on a delayed
start to the school year.
Yes, yesterday there was number school.
It was pushed back around
12:30 in the afternoon.
On Sunday, San Diego Unified and
Borrego Springs made the call to
postpone the first day of schoo.
At this point in the afternoon,
it had been raining for hours
with still major parts of the
storm forecast that hit San Die.
So just out of an abundance of caution,
they did push it.
Now, officials,
now the district told us they
have been busy evaluating.
There's facilities since the storm arrived,
and preliminary reports indicate
that there's just some minimal damage
and they're making any repairs
that may be necessary for today.
All right, on to the fun.
Now again, in just a couple of hours,
the events are going to start at 7 AM, 7:15.
There will be a press conferenc.
Of course, we're going to be th,
bringing you the latest.
Any updates that you should know
about as a parent and student?
And then the Cardinal Marching
Band performing at 7:45 a AM.
Now San Diego Unified is the sed
largest school district in California.
It is 120,000 students,
13,000 staff members all gearing
up for an incredible year ahead.
So coming up later in the morni,
we're going to be speaking to Sn
Diego Unified officials about aw
Community School, free food mar,
other services.
They provide a newly designated
CIF girls flag football team.
How exciting is that?
And a brand new sports medicine facility.
So a lot to cover and just
a couple of minutes.
I'm really assuming some of thoe
two leaders are going to arrive,
hang out in the front of the sc.
We're going to be speaking to some of them,
Just bringing the energy as this
is a really exciting day for so
many students here in San Diego.
And Dana, Marie Mcnichol.
I'll send it back to you, Eric and Etta.
All right. Well, what's left?
The tropical storm Hillary has
moved N over the Rocky Mountains
and into the Pacific's northwes.
Yeah, it is long gone now.
The storm made landfall
in Mexico two days ago,
then pounded us here in Southern California.
Parts of Nevada got rain more tn
our region could typically hand.
So we want to show you some of
the damage the storm left behin.
Take a look here in India.
Heavy rain flooding that area.
Those are roadways right there.
You can see cars and trucks movg
very slowly on sludge covered
roads and then in Clark County,
Nevada, Mount Charleston,
Old Town receiving substantial flooding
with people there sheltering in place.
In fact,
a boil water order also issued.
And then you see at the bottom right of
your screen in Palm Springs deep layers
of mud sweeping into neighborho,
making it difficult for crews
to even deliver supplies.
So we should all be watchful
here for a few days as well as
the ground dries out after the
departure of that tropical stor,
Yeah,
there is a potential for falling trees,
even bluff collapses as we've
seen in past storms here.
CBS8's Chris Crowe live in Delmar now
with more on what one local geologist
is telling us here this morning. Chris
Yeah, good morning, guys.
Some of those images just
north of us after Hillary,
or even during Hillary,
of the roads crumbling,
the ground collapsing again,
geologists nervous and also awa,
trying to be proactive about whr
or not that might happen here in some
of our active areas, if you wil.
Of course, we know the Bluffs along Delmar,
really, the Bluffs along any ofr
coastline always subject to collapses,
especially after rain.
The thing is, we normally get that type
of rain event during the winter months.
Of course, Hillary brought
a ton of rain to our area.
Now, according to geologist Pat Abbott,
it could have been very much wo.
Have that storm not moved
as quickly as it did?
Had it stayed over us a little longer,
we could have gotten potentially
so much more rain.
And with that a very much incred
chance there of some of the
collapses that we have seen in
other parts of Southern Califor.
However,
that does not mean that we
are out of the woods yet.
In fact they are going to keep g
aware of what could happen both
along our coast but also in some
of a different areas in San Dieo
County as well too. But
we can see somewhere the debriss
come all the way out onto the b.
We can see somewhere high tidese
nibbled away at it and left a steep little
Cliff within the recent slide material.
So we can see the relative ages
of slide after slide after slid.
And of course,
whenever you're visiting the be,
you always want to just keep
your head on the swivel.
Don't ever try to put your thins
directly underneath a bluff.
That's why lifeguards will come through.
They'll tell you, hey,
this is not really a good spot to be.
Try to make sure that you're
removed a little bit away from ,
especially in the days
leading up after a storm.
Erica Netta
Chris Grow, thank you for that City of San
Diego and county officials warning people
to stay out of the ocean water because of
the rain run off in the contamination.
The city closed the beaches ahead of Hillary
and they will officially reopen today.
The facilities restrooms will be open,
things like that.
But it's still recommended thatu
avoid swimming, surfing in the r
for up to 72 hours after it rai.
Across our county beaches,
there is a rain advisory that
could be lifted by Thursday.
Give it some time for that bact.
A lot of the sewage runoff to clear away.
The San Diego Humane Society says it's
Project Wildlife team has seen an increase
in wildlife rescues because of Hillary.
Humane officers have rescued fox squirrels,
a hooded oriole and stray cats and dogs.
If you come across any displaced wildlife
shelter, officials suggest doing this.
If you find injured or orphaned
wild animal, you don't want
to touch them with your hands.
Maybe put them in a towel in a ,
don't give them water,
don't give them any food,
just bring them to us,
the Humane Society says.
Since the ground is more
saturated after the storm,
it's important to check the stability of
fencing around your house to make sure
your pets are safe and don't run away.
Remember to stay with CBS8
for any storm related updates.

All right, here we are,
607 and it was nice to actually
see the stars when we're up
super early and now it's startig
to look pretty beautiful.
Clear out there.
A good start to the school year? Yeah,
yeah, we got a little bit of cloud cover
that you can make out from hotels out.
Just barely any, but we're starg
to get some of the sun before te
sun though our Chris grow, you ,
out at what, 4:00 in the morning every day.
Let's take a look at some of the video that
he sent us of the bioluminescence out there.
You see a little bit of the blue
kind of hue there on the waves.
And just kind of goes to show if you're
looking out along the coastline,
you might notice something like this,
not a light being shed on that wave that is
the bioluminescence in the water itself.
So very cool to see. Thank you, Chris.
Grow. Yeah, yeah, exactly.
Sunset time would be a great tie
to go out there.
We appreciate you Chris Grove,
for sending that video in.
608 on the clock right now we ae
expecting a beautiful day in San Diego,
much different than the wet weather that
was brought to us over the courf
the weekend and Sunday in particular,
we've got 75 as that forecast hh
along the coastline.
Some of our forecast models keep
us a little bit lower,
around 73 to 75 degrees, 83 inl,
77 much cooler for the mountain.
Remember a week ago we were in the 90s
and then 94 out there for the deserts.
As we mentioned,
cloud cover is really not all
that dense this morning,
but if you do run into any clouds out there,
they're not going to hang
out with us for too long.
But that marine layer is rebuilg
itself right now as opposed to the last
couple hours where we were at a pretty
completely clear start to the d,
Now we're starting to see some of those
coastal clouds fill in the blank spaces.
Here's what we got out there.
I mean,
it's gorgeous from above the cl,
but if you're below these ones,
well that's where you might stil
have a Gray start to the mornin.
But we promise the sun is up behind it
and we're moving in the right direction.
So we've got more sunshine as we
head into the next couple hours.
We've also got more warmth headd
into the next couple of days.
5 day forecast shows that a Ridf
high pressure is going to starto
influence us from our E as it moves W
It will bring us warmer temperatures.
It will bring us a better opportunity
for sunshine Wednesday through Friday.
So tomorrow through Friday in particular,
we have the possibility of a bif
tropical moisture not associated with
Hillary, but now associated with Harold,
which is hitting Texas right no.
That Ridge of high pressure coud
start to wrap that moisture around it,
send it our way,
and that could create some shows
over the mountains.
But in general,
we're looking at a pretty dry nt
5 days or so,
and beyond ten days in fact.
So overall we're looking prettye
walking out the door right now.
62 in Oceanside, 65 in Carlsbad,
64 in El Cajon and 60 in Alpine.
We've even got some 50s for the mountains.
So if you felt the chill in the,
yeah, that is something differe.
We're even cooler today than wee
yesterday and yesterday was alry
a pretty cool day to begin with.
So enjoy that because we're goig
to see those afternoon highs
and overnight lows warm up.
Let's take a look at how traffic
is shaping up at 6:10 right now.
So far border wait times are
not all that impacted.
Out there we see 105 minute wait
at the Sandy siege report of en,
but only 40 minutes at the
O time Mesa port of entry.
So you are going to wait well or
an hour at the Sandy siege repot
of entry but less than an hour t
though time Mesa Port of entry.
We've seen this worse,
but also could be better.
We know that.
So expect some delays along the border.
Back to you,
Evan. Thank you so much.
