funding to run the sesimolgy lab at cal until february. leaving questions as to how earthquake information will be analyzed after that...sot predicting what they do in washington is even more difficult than predicting earthquakes (justine) it is important to note, if there was a huge earthquake, staff at the usgs would be called back to newsroom justine waldman kron 4 news.

example of that.sotthis man slammed into the rear of another vehicle that had slowed down... destroying the front of his car. luckily airbags deployed and no one was injured... but the chp says it's a good reminder to slow down and allow extra stopping distance between you and the car ahead, both during and after a storm.sotand we want to remind people to turn our headlight on not just so you can see but so you can be seen by other drivers, on the freeway theres a spray that can be kicked up by rear lights are on everyone can see youas well.standup dan kerman/ bay plaza 104and sincethis is not the end of the rainy season the highway patrol also says now as good a time as any to get your tires checked... without good traction they say you stand little chance during the storm (james)( darya ) welcome back. let's get a check of the weather this morning...

when i see you on monday we'll be buzzing about the superbowl: the four contenders will battle it out on sunday the rams and the saints play in the superdome. the patriots and chiefs play at arrowhead which is somewhere underneath all this snow. they shoveled it out and had to re-sod the whole field cuz it was such a

mess. how come the rest of the country can fly in a blizzard but we can't handle rain, wind or fog.. in fog city? sfo looks fine right now but we had 3 and a half hour delays during the storm this week.. and if you travel a lot.. you know that's nothing new.. but i do have some new nubmers:sfo ranks 29th out of 30 major airports in on-time arrivals and we're 27th worst for

departures. and if you want to know why.. sfo has a map for that: this shows the runway configuration: two sets of parallel runways, too close together that cross in the middle.. complicated but it works like clockwork in clear, calm, dry weather.. which means "never".. as soon as mother nature sneezes they have to stagger then planes.. so if you wanna get there on time..do what i do.. whenever you can try to fly out of oakland or san jose.. and pack light.. checking bags costs you more and slows you down on the other end. sonny gray could be catching a flight back to the bay area.san francisco is showing interest in the a's old ace. he gave oakland five good seasons but he hasn't done well in the bronx. the giants sure could use another top notch starting pitcher... since madbum, cueto and samardzila have all had

serious injuries the last couple of years. well the giants could use a lot of things. the warriors should have a fog machine tonight in l-a.. so the boogieman can make a dramatic entrance. i've always wanted a fog machine.. and walk up music.. or maybe one of those banners you break through.. anyway, we'll see how he gels with the guys tonight when they play the clippers. but wow, he looks good on paper. you know what else looks good but might be trouble? the 10 year challenge.. steph and ayesha are doing it.. as are millions of post a picture years ago compared to today so we why don't we look that good? security the more data you share the more of a target you become.
