>> the goal our family to leave the city so that we can start a new life. >> reporter: a massive international relief effort is under way. communication is difficult so teams of experts like this one from the united states are traveling to devastated areas to assess the situation. >> we provide medical aid, search-and-rescue, and assessments in communities that we can better inform the government and military what's needed. >> reporter: while some supplies are arriving, there is still much more that is needed. marlie hall for cbs news. the mayor of tacloban rode out the storm in a ceiling. this used to be the family's beach resort just a shell left now. storm surge crumpled the building's 6" concrete walls as waves hit the roof. when the water started rising, the mayor and his family climbed to the ceiling space. >> we have to go all the way in there where -- we climbed all

lowest point in years. only on kpix 5, andria borba reports those islands are a familiar sight at the san luis reservoir. >> reporter: at the edge of santa clara county is the san lewis reservoir. with a storage capacity of more than 2 million-acre feet of water. this year, not so much. >> it's baked dry. >> reporter: this is a what drought physically looks like, islands emerging from the center of a 500-foot-deep lake. that's only a quarter full. >> well, it looks fun to kayak on because there are islands that weren't here before. >> reporter: stretches of land that haven't seen sunlight in decades exposed. so what does 24% of capacity really mean? our live truck right behind me should be completedly drowned. no water story in california is crystal clear.

and san luis' is equally murky, upstream protection for delta smelt and salmon combined with federally mandated water delivery contracts in los angeles and santa clara counties and to farmers in the central valley have left san luis the lowest it's been in years. i'm at the dinosaur boat launch now. i'm sitting on the dock and the dock is sitting on grass right now. despite guaranteed water deliveries, the main problem is mother nature. >> we have some rain probably about three weeks ago it rained maybe all of four seconds? >> reporter: no rain, no snowpack. and a dwindling supply of water to feed and nourish a thirsty state. andria borba, kpix 5. well, we need rain in a big way. >> yeah, we do. but i have seen it quite a few times, you know, the state so dry and all of a sudden the skies open up and here we go. so we get what we get. today we have some sunshine coming your way and it looks

discipline, demotion or removal of the chief of police. we asked oakland's current chief about that. isn't it his word that will rule as opposed to the public's when it comes to hiring the chief? >> well, no, hiring and authorities rests with the city so the city can appoint who they so choose. >> reporter: can't he overturn that? >> i imagine he will have input. >> reporter: that may be an understatement. he famously bootedded anthony that rib i don't appointed chief by the city then forced to step down after a day and a half on the job. but oaklanders still have hope that what they say here will make a difference. >> it doesn't mean it's feud toll look for the right police chief. >> reporter: in oakland, christin ayers, kpix 5. >> interim chief whent says he plans to apply for the position of chief. the city or the federal overseer should choose a chief by march. san francisco police are searching for a student missing for nearly a week.

change as the demolition project goes on. >> when they cut it in half next year, there will be something to see. >> the concern then will be potential for drivers to be distracted by the sideshow. the project is delicate because the old span is so close to the new one especially by treasure island. it's expected to take three years. we thought we would be distracted when the new one went up. i think we'll be all right. >> i wanted to see an implosion! that would be fabulous. got great weather coming our way today. we have more sunshine as we are going to see high pressure taking over again. of course we had those scattered light showers yesterday. today not a threat at all. out the door we go, we have some mostly clear skies. temperatures mainly in the 40s and the 50s although we have seen some 30s in some of the north bay valleys. by this afternoon, nothing but sunshine all the way to the coastline moving well into the 70s inland very mild there. 60s and 70s around the bay. and sunny at the coastline into

>> here's one that says only to be opened by her. >> it's a major privacy problem. >> reporter: the electronic frontier foundation says is people assume it's theirs forever. >> the recycling of email addresses creates a high risk that personal information will end up in somebody else's hands. >> reporter: yahoo isn't alone. microsoft has been quietly recycling email addresses for years and it's becoming standard practice for many college issued emails. yahoo tried to notify users their emails would be recycled if they hadn't logged in, in over a year and said it took many precautions sending bouncebacks for 30 to 60 days and unsubscribing the accounts for mailing lists. >> we have the full account number. >> reporter: but yahoo won't say how many addresses were reassigned or how many complaints like leslie's it's received. >> they are changing the price on their home that they are selling. >> reporter: yahoo compares recycling email addresses to moving. when you move, you get mail

sent to your old house and the new resident either forwards that mail or disposes of it. >> when you move, you know they moved. when they take your email address and recycle it, it's because you usually didn't know anything about it. >> reporter: the old rosebud clearly wasn't aware her email address was recycled as she was still using it for password recovery. >> user name and password, i didn't have to reset it. it just gave it to me. >> reporter: she just said forgot my password and facebook would allow her to log into someone else' account. >> password reset option i could access. >> reporter: while she wouldn't, lee says this demonstrates why websites should rethink using email for password authentication. she is now thinking her decision to use a recycled

email address. julie watts, kpix 5. >> yahoo won't comment on the rosebud case but leslie says she will never use that email address ever again. 4:52. an entire town is up for sale in northern california. how much it might set you back coming up. >> two bay area kids are putting their own spin on burning man. how they came up with the idea for this two-year long project. ,,,,,,,,,,

i love watching tv outside. and why can you move the tv out here? the wireless receiver. i got that when i switched to u-verse. but why? because it's so much better than cable. it's got more hd channels, more dvr space. yeah, but i mean, how did you know?

the palo alto art commission a 35-foot tree in front of city hall with 40,000 lights would be a good idea. whatever they said, it worked. you guys pretty proud of yourselves? >> yeah. >> extremely. >> this is really big. >> reporter: aurora is a metal sculpture of a weeping willow complete with 4,000 copper leaves. when it's done anyone with a smartphone cast go to a website and change the colors and so on. for the creator, putting a vulnerable piece of art out in the public is a leap of faith. >> it's like believing that society is not, you know, here to be destructive and that they are willing to be respectful and allow this thing to live. >> reporter: if for some reason you don't like the tree -- >> that's the beauty of temporary public art that you can do things that are really bold and outside the box and it will come down in a year. so wait it out. [ laughter ] >> reporter: kiet do, kpix 5. >> looks cool. the public tree lighting ceremony is this saturday
