. >> WELCOME TO MORNING BILL INDEXERS OUT.
>> YOU'RE TAKING A LIVE LOOK AT
THE SNOW FALLING RIGHT NOW IN
DOWNTOWN TRUCKEE.
THE STORM THAT WAS EXPECTED TO
DELIVER MULTIPLE FEET OF SNOW
IS LIVING UP TO THE FORECAST AS
THEY PAN OVER TO SHOW US ALL
THE SNOW HAPPENING RIGHT NOW.
THAT MEANS WE'VE GOT TO GET
STRAIGHT TO METEROLOGIST TRACIE
RAY MY GOODNESS, IT'S RAINING
OUT THERE.
NO SNOW COMING DOWN THERE.
WHAT CAN WE EXPECT TODAY?
YOU KNOW, THIS STORM DID NOT
DISAPPOINT.
WE BILL STORMS A LOT OF TIMES
AND WE SAY, HEY, WE'RE
EXPECTING THIS AND WE COULD SEE
THIS AND THIS ONE IS DOING ALL
THAT AND MORE.
WE'RE TALKING ABOUT MULTIPLE
FEET OF SNOWFALL IN THE SIERRA
ROUNDS AND ROUNDS OF RAINFALL
HERE IN THE VALLEY.
AND LET'S NOT FORGET THOSE WIND
.
SO HERE IS A LOOK AT OUR
SATELLITE AND OUR RADAR.
I LOVE THIS GRAPHIC.
IT SHOWS EXACTLY WHAT'S
HAPPENING.
TAKE A LOOK AT THE BLUE.
THAT DARKER SHADE PERIWINKLE IN
THERE.
ONLY I RECALL THAT PERIWINKLE.
THAT'S WHERE YOU'RE SEEING SOME
OF THE HEAVIER SNOWFALL THROUGH
BLUE CANYON JUST OUTSIDE SQUAW
VALLEY CLOSE TO INTERSTATE 80
THERE.
ONCE YOU GET DOWN TO 50 YOU SEE
SOME HEAVIER SNOWFALL COMING
INTO KIRKWOOD.
AND THAT RAIN IS SNOW MIX.
THAT LINE THAT BLUE THERE
THAT'S KIND OF DANCING JUST
BELOW BLUE CANYON.
THAT'S WHERE YOU COULD RUN INTO
A LITTLE BIT OF BOTH RAIN AND
SNOW.
HOW MUCH MORE SNOWFALL COULD WE
SEE BY LATER ON TONIGHT 2:00
A.M. FRIDAY, 13 ADDITIONAL
INCHES OF SNOWFALL IN BEAR
VALLEY CLOSE TO AN ADDITIONAL
FOOT IN KIRKWOOD AS WELL AS
SIERRA AT TAHOE.
AND WE COULD SEE MORE THAN
SEVEN INCHES OF ADDITIONAL
SNOWFALL.
SQUAW VALLEY CLOSE TO SIX
INCHES OF ADDITIONAL SNOWFALL
IN BORIO.
SO OF COURSE IT'S NOT ALL ABOUT
THE SNOW.
TAKE A LOOK AT THAT RAIN.
IT IS COMING IN IN EARNEST.
ROUNDS OF HEAVY RAINFALL
EXPECTED TODAY.
THIS IS WHAT MODELS ARE
INDICATING WE COULD SEE BY THE
OVERNIGHT CLOSE AN ADDITIONAL
TWO INCHES TO TWO TENTHS OF AN
INCH RATHER IN SACRAEMNTO SIX
TENTHS OF AN INCH OF RAINFALL
IN ALBANY AND CLOSE TO AN INCH
OF ADDITIONAL RAINFALL IN
PLACERVILLE OUTSIDE RIGHT NOW
CLOUDY WITH RAIN SHOWERS.
FORTY NINE DEGREES WINDS OUT
THE SOUTH, THE SOUTHEAST AROUND
40 MILES PER HOUR.
WOW.
TEMERATURES NOT GOING TO BE THE
STORY TODAY.
A LITTLE MILD BECAUSE OF THE
CLOUDS.
TAKE A LOOK AT THE REGIONAL
FORECAST IN ADDITION TO
SHOWERS.
I'M GOING TO PUT IN AN
OPPORTUNITY FOR THUNDER STORMS
FOR SACRAMENTO, THE WESTERN
SIDE OF THE VALLEY INTO PARTS
OF THE BAY AREA.
IF YOU GET KIND OF ONE OF THOSE
THUNDERSTORMS YOU COULD RUN
INTO HEAVY RAINFALL AS WELL AS
SMALL SIZED HAIL FOR THE HILLS
OF THE OPPORTUNITY FOR MODERATE
TO HEAVY RAINFALL.
AND AGAIN, KEEPING THE
OPPORTUNITY FOR SNOW SHOWERS IN
THE FORECAST FOR THE SIERRA.
COMING UP, MORE RAIN AND SNOW
AGAIN EXPECTED AS WE MOVE INTO
THE OVERNIGHT AND MORE RAIN AND
SNOW NEXT WEEK.
IT JUST KEEPS ON COMING BACK AT
YOUR TEN DAY FORECAST COMING
UP.
THANK YOU FOR UPDATING US.
NOT ACTUALLY BRINGS US TO
ABC 10 XXXX WHICH SAYS THAT YOU
HAVE BEEN SHOWING ALL
MORNING LONG.
DANGEROUS DRIVING CONDITIONS IN
MODESTO.
WE STILLL FLOODING.
WE HAD A COUPLE OF CLOSE CALLS
ON CAMERA.
HOW ARE THINGS NOW?
IT STILL LOOKS LIKE A WET MESS
WHERE YOU ARE BRITNEY IT IS.
>> WE HAVE BEEN STANDING IN BY
NEAR THESE TYPES OF FLOODED
ROADWAYS ALL MORNING NOT JUST
IN RESIDENTIAL SPOTS LIKE RIGHT
HERE BUT ON MAJOR ROADWAYS TOO.
BUT THE GOOD NEWS IS WORK HAS
BEEN BEING DONE AROUND THE
CLOCK THROUGHOUT THE CITY
OF MODESTO TO CLEAR UP A LOT
THESE ROADWAYS.
BUT FIRST I WANT YOU TO TAKE A
LOOK AT SOME OF THE THINGS THAT
WE SAW THIS MORNING NOW IN OUR
FIVE AND SIX A.M. HOUR WE WERE
OVER BY VINTAGE FAIR MALL AND
YOU CAN SEE HERE IT WAS DARK
AND THE NEIGHBORHOOD
SURROUNDING IT SAW CARS TRYING
TO GET PAST BIG PUDDLES
OF WATER LATER IN THE
MORNING SAW THE SAME THING
HAPPENING HERE NEAR PRESCOTT
ROAD.
WE WERE THERE AS CITY CREWS
WORKED TO REMOVE THE WATER FROM
THE ROADWAYS AND CLEAN UP THE
STORM DRAINS WORKERS WE SPOKE
WITH SAY THEY'VE SEEN A HUGE
NUMBER OF DOWNED TREES IN THE
AREA AND OF COURSE THAT HELPED
LEAD TO THOSE CLOGGED STORM
DRAINS AND THESE FLOODED ROADS
GUYS WORKING ALL NIGHT LAST
NIGHT AND THEN WE'LL BE
PROBABLY WORK TILL THE WEE
HOURS TONIGHT.
>> RIGHT NOW WE'RE JUST TRYING
TO GET ALL THE MAJOR STREETS,
HOSPITALS, SCHOOLS, STUFF LIKE
THAT AND STOP PROPERTY DAMAGE
AT THE SAME TIME.
LIKE YOU HEARD HIM SAY, THERE
IS PLENTY MORE WORK TO BE DONE
AROUND HERE IN MODESTO.
SO WHETHER YOU LIVE HERE OR
ELSEWHERE, REMEMBER WITH THE
FLOODED ROADWAY, IF YOU AREN'T
SURE HOW DEEP IT IS, THE RULE
IS TO TRY TO AVOID IT.
AND IF YOU HAPPEN TO
HYDROPLANE, REMEMBER TAKE YOUR
FOOT OFF THE BRAKES, DON'T
PRESS ON THE GAS AND ONCE YOU
HIT YOUR CAR HITS THAT ASPHALT
AGAIN ACCELERATE SLOWLY UNTIL
YOU CAN BE SAFE.
BUT THAT RULE IS TO ALWAYS
AVOID IT AND TAKE AN ALTERNATE
ROUTE IF YOU CAN.
THAT'S TRUE.
>> TURN AROUND DON'T DROWN IS
THE BEST ADVICE BECAUSE THE
WATER COULD LOOK OKAY BUT THEN
YOU CAN CRUMBLE JUST LIKE THAT.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR UPDATING
.
ALL WEEKEND LONG WE'LL LET YOU
KNOW WE'RE TAKING A LIVE LOOK
RIGHT NOW THE POWER OUTAGES IN
NORK HOW 11000 SMART CUSTOMERS
ARE STILL WITHOUT POWER AFTER
THAT STRONG WIND ROLLED IN
TUESDAY NIGHT.
SMUDGE SAYS CREWS RESTORED
POWER TO ABOUT 30000 CUSTOMERS
GET THIS AND EIGHT HOURS
YESTERDAY BUT THEY SAID THEY
WEREN'T ABLE TO GET EVERYBODY'S
POWER MAKING SURE IT WAS
RESTORED.
CREWS ARE STILL WORKING AROUND
THE CLOCK TO GET THE LIGHTS
BACK ON.
NOW THIS IS THE SITUATION WITH
PG&E.
ALLERGIES REMAIN ACROSS
NORTHERN CALIFORNIA BUT CREWS
ARE WORKING OVERTIME TO RESTORE
POWER TO EVERYONE WEST
SACRAMENTO HAS A COMMUNITY
RESOURCE CENTER OPEN AT THE
CITY HALL GALLERIA UNTIL SEVEN
O'CLOCK TONIGHT.
FOR THOSE IMPACTED BY THE
OUTAGES, WELL THIS MORNING TWO
HOMELESS PEOPLE ARE DEAD AFTER
THE STORM PASSED THROUGH
SACRAMENTO.
THIS COMES AS THE CITY COUNCIL
AGREED TO OPEN AT LEAST ONE
WARMING CENTER LAST NIGHT AFTER
OUTRAGE FROM MAYOR STEINBERG.
WHY?
BECAUSE WHEN THE STORM ROLLED
THROUGH LAST NIGHT ON TUESDAY
THE COUNTY HAD NO WARMING
SHELTERS OPEN BECAUSE
TEMPERATURES TECHNICALLY DID
NOT FALL BELOW FREEZING.
AND THAT BRINGS US TO ABC TELLS
KEVIN JOHN HE SPOKE WITH A
GROUP OF PEOPLE FINDING WAYS TO
HELP HOMELESS POPULATION NOW
MORE THAN EVER.
THOSE WHO ARE UNSHELTERED ARE
IN NEED OF FOOD, WATER AND
OF COURSE WARM CLOTHING.
AND THAT'S WHY AN ORGANIZATION
RIGHT HERE IN DOWNTOWN
SACRAMENTO IS STEPPING TO MEET
THAT NEED EVERY TUESDAY THROUGH
FRIDAY MORNING BETWEEN EIGHT
A.M. AND NINE A.M. THEY'RE OUT
HERE HANDING OUT SACK LUNCHES,
WARM CLOTHES AND OTHER SUPPLIES
TO ASSIST THE HOMELESS
COMMUNITY.
THIS GROUP OF VOLUNTEERS MAKE
UP THE CATHEDRAL OF THE BLESSED
SACRAMENT BROWN BAG LUNCH
PROGRAM.
WE FEED THEM A BROWN BAG LUNCH
.
>> WE USUALLY HAVE A NON SHELF
STABLE ITEMS INCLUDED IN THE
LUNCH SO THEY CAN COME AND GET
A LUNCH ANY MORNING ON THIS
PARTICULAR MORNING THANKS TO
THE GENEROSITY OF OTHER DONORS
,THEY COLLECTED NEARLY 300
COATS AND OVER 600 PAIRS
OF SOCKS TO GIVE OUT TO THOSE
IN NEED DUE TO THE RECENT COLD
WEATHER.
THERE ARE ROUGHLY A HUNDRED
PEOPLE LINED UP BEFORE 8:00
A.M. THIS MORNING TO GRAB THE
WARM CLOTHING I'LL HAVE
SACRAEMNTO HAS LOVE FOR THE
HOMELESS AND THEY WANT THINGS
TO GET BETTER.
>> AND THIS IS ONE OF THE WAYS
THAT WE CAN DO THAT FOR THE
PEOPLE THAT ARE SLEEPING IN THE
STREETS EVEN THOUGH THEY
REALIZE THEY CAN'T FEED EVERY
SINGLE HOMELESS
