day is the busiest of the year. >> everything goes to the home and we had a lot around $400 today. >> reporter: business is blooming, which means more work for temporary employees, including 20 drivers who will deliver these orders to moms from menlo park to morgan hill. but what's different this year is consumers are more cash-conscious. most are passing on this $295 premium rose arrangement and opting instead for the sweet surprise, which costs about 30 bucks. >> people have been spending less on flowers. the amount that, you know, they want to place an order, they usually go with the minimum that we offer. rfrm >> reporter: the most popular colors for mom are purple, lavender and pink. the hottest? >> roses and carnations. >> she's been very close to me for a long time, lives right around the corner. good lady, does everything for the kids and the grandkids and all that kind of stuff.

the rain has stopped in memphis for now, but people who live along the mississippi river are still bracing for the worst. the river is already past the major flood stage and on its way to a possible record crest. thousands of people are being evacuated. >> my worst fear is they don't have nowhere for this water to go, it has to go somewhere and it's going to flood our house out. >> to make matters worse, thunderstorms are expected this coming week, which could result in flarn flooding as well. tonight, a berkeley family is presumably resting after a very productive day. more than 60 volunteers helped them renovate their home. safeway and the nonprofit rebuilding together east bay teamed up to help the ellsworth family rebuild and retrofit their home. barbara ellsworth has issues

youtube sensation with an aid to

mom.

it's really no secret that payday lenders charge high interest rates for their services. for instance, the silicon valley community foundation says typical borrowers end up paying $500 interest on a $300 loan. that's why a daly city lawmaker is trying to put payday out of business. he announced a plan today to create a city ordinance that calls for a permanent ban on any

new payday lenders. and the phasing out of all existing centers as well. he plans to ask the city attorney to draft up a proposal. >> i have a plan to partner with different credit unions. those credit unions will work in concert to make sure that there's an educational piece that folks are who are getting loans at 36% or below and not the 450%. >> he says there are more than 2800 payday lenders in california, and the only recourse against them is it to enact local legislation. lawmakers in nearby pacifica did that in december when they extended a moratorium on new payday lenders opening in that city. by now you should know that if you try to text message while you're driving you're breaking the law. many drivers still do it. but what if your cell phone prevented you from texting while your car was in motion? bob hoansen from our nbc statio in san diego explains. >> reporter: cell phones are

constantly connected to a young person's hands these days. that's fine while work r waalkis campus. but what about by triefing the car? >> people are tempted by checking their messages. they move the phone below the steering wheel so they're driving and texting like this. >> reporter: and texting while driving is not only illegal in most states, it's terribly deran dangerous. that's why the folks who invented text brolocker are getting lots of business. >> when you're going over 15 miles an hour for a couple of minute, text blocker defeatures the phone. >> reporter: in other words, using gps and cell towers, the software turns off nearly every feature of the phone once you hit a certain speed. when i first started driving, the phone worked fine. once i drove past 15 miles an hour for a couple of minutes, text blocker kicked in. >> at this point, i can't surf the internet with my phone. i can't facebook. i can't compose any e-mails or text messages.

>> reporter: so what if you're a passenger in the car, not driving? if it goes past 15 miles an hour, you won't be able to text. >> what the passenger has to do is enter a time puzzle. if they solve that, they use the phone. if they don't solve it after three times, the administrator is alerted that they may be trying to use the foin while driving. >> reporter: the text blocker program still allows for emergency calls and those on a safe list that's set up by the administrator of the account. usually the parent or employer. and what if someone texts the driver? >> they would be sent an auto reply that lets them know that we're driving and we'll get back to them when it's safe. >> again, that was bob hansen reporting. today strong winds may have caused the branches from this tree to come down. it happened on thornton avenue in san jose. no one was hurt. those in the neighborhood say the noise, though, scared them a little bit. >> we thought it was thunder or something, you know. i knew something bad happened. >> everybody jumped up in the whole neighborhood and come

running out to see what happened. maybe it could have been a wreck, but it happened to be the tree. >> so the big question is, will the winds die down tomorrow? let's check in with our meteorologist rob mei edda. wind one of the things we're watching for on mother's day, a possible stray shower as well. 54 chilly degrees, speaking of the wind, oakland 54 degrees, the camera kind of hanging on at this hour. into san francisco, 54, also seeing a pretty gusty west wind, 14 miles per hour with gusts up to 35 in the last two hours or so. our temperatures around the bay area right now, we're seeing dwight a bit of cloud cover, temperatures in the low mid-50s. wind cranking up, fairfield, val teet toes road and interstate 80 through the delta you are seeing very gusty winds. the satellite actually got a little excited earlier this evening. you can see the green showing

up, though a lot of this precipitation is not quite reaching the ground. but as the system continues to go by and adds more lift to the atmosphere, that's the reason why we'll leave if the slight chance of a few isolated showers tonight. everybody will see cool and breezy conditions tomorrow as this air just continues to tumble in from the northwest. we will see a few sunny breaks at times for tomorrow, but our temperatures are going to be running quite cool. still a slight chance in some of our hilltop spots toward the north bay, sonoma, napa county, still could see isolated showers. by monday and tuesday thirngss start to dry out. the other component to this is the sierra. we're talking snow as low as 5,000 feet. use precaution if you're heading to the high country. things dry out heading into tuesday. tonight, mostly cloudy and breezy and the slight kmans of isolated showers at times. mainly up to the north bay hill tops and maybe some misty skies for tomorrow morning. for the afternoon, we'll call for partly cloudy skies, a day

that should kind of look like today. i think the daytime highs run a few degrees cooler with highs only in the low 60s in san jose just three days ago we were in 90s. not the case for sunday. for mother's day brunch, take a nice stylish warm coat, umbrella perhaps. then we'll start to warm up for the middle part of the week, 70s coming back tuesday and wednesday. but happy early meernother's da you. >> well, thank you. >> announcer: and now the x finty sports desk on nbc bay area news. so last night the giants beat the rockies in the ninth inning walk-off thriller. so tonight they were looking for an encore performance and they got it. in a game you saw here on nbc bay area, baumgartner tried to get his first win of the season.

baumgartner would get a no decision. the game remained tied into the bottom of the ninth when mike fought aknow hit a sacrifice fly and deja vu the giants have back-to-back walk-off victories over the first place rockies. you've got to love that. giants win 3-2. the a's were in kansas city, oakland trailed 8 eed 3-0 in th eighth. this three-run homer tied up the score, very nice. the celebrating ended, though, the royals won the game in the bottom of the ninth on a sacrifice fly. kansas city wins it 4-3. the teams will meet again tomorrow morning. the sharks are hoping to wrap up their series against detroit tomorrow night at the tank. san jose holds a 3-1 series lead. game time 5:00 tomorrow. the 137th running of the kentucky derby from churchill
