state, which in some areas are leading to evacuations. >> reporter: we will have the very latest numbers from the latest ice immigration effort here in the bay area. this is ktvu mornings on 2. >> good morning. thank you for joining us on mornings on 2. it is friday, it is march 2nd. i'm dave clark. >> good morning. i'm pam cook. gasia has the day off today. >> it is a busy morning. we're following reports of a shooting this morning on the campus of central michigan university, about 30 minutes ago. this is the tweet they sent out. there has been a report of shots fired at campbell hall on campus. suspect is still at large. police advise all to take shelter. if you see something suspicious, call 911. we will continue to watch this, bring you updates as they come in. again n is at central michigan university. we will keep an eye on it. well, snow and hazardous driving conditions also forced

the closure of westbound interstate 80 up in the sierra. caltrans says the highway is shut down from nevada to colfax. again, in the westbound direction. sal is hearing reports that the eastbound direction is open but drivers are required to use chains. we're hearing chains even for four-wheel-drive. also over highway 50 through the mountain pass. three inches of rain fell in parts of the bay area yesterday. because it was off and on, people had to keep pulling out their umbrellas in search for shelter. these pictures were taken in san jose yesterday by one of our photographers. along with the rain, it was windy too. the wind knocked down a lot of trees. a tree fell on to the roof of a home on valley view court but no one was hurt. all right. weather continues to be the story. >> yep. >> and we want to check in with

steve for more on that. also back east as well. they're getting hit. >> that will be a major deal. coastal flooding, snow. >> affecting flights here. >> easy. boston, new york, philadelphia, washington, no doubt. we will have very low snow levels. hail in the san rafael hills. jim just e-mailed me. snow at 4,000 feet is no problem. diablo 3,000 feet and above, no problem. now you're getting 2500 feet and below. mount tam, mission peak, grizzly peak. if it gets down to san bruno mountain, now we're talking. if it gets below that, then we really have something to go. we only had an inch and a quarter in the past 24 hours. that is very good rain. and it is picking up fast. certainly from about san francisco -- marin county now south. it will be for everybody later on. within this, you can ghetto indication alley brief heavy rain, also some hail reports.

and it looks like out around diablo, some reports and i would not be surprised hail falling as well. low elevation snows are in the forecast today. it has already happened up at mount hamilton. after we get afternoon heating, it won't take long to fire up. 31 santa rosa. 34 in napa. novato, 35. it is cold. 19 up in truckee. they will continue with off and on snow showers up there. we will though see some of the thunderstorm activity pop up rapidly as it works its way. get ready. it is on its way. cold air is arriving. anything goes today. sun, clouds, showers, and low snow levels. sal, 7:03. what would you say about today? friday light. >> yeah. i do want to mention that caltrans officially reopened 80. both directions are open.

however, as pam mentioned, these are true restrictions. even if you have a four-wheel- drive vehicle, you need chains. it is dicey driving on 80. same for 50, same restrictions. unless your vehicle has snow tires on all four, you don't need chains. it is tough driving if you're going up to the mountains. let's go take a look at the bay bridge. traffic is moving along slowly getting into san francisco. it looks a little slower than i saw it last time. you can tell by looking at the pace of traffic. it looks kind of crowded. this is obviously the peak of the commute. it is not light. once you get to san francisco, it looks okay. if you're driving to the airport, let's say. 880 on the other side looks fine. it doesn't look like it has been raining for the last few minutes here. on the peninsula, just a little bit of slow traffic in san mateo and san bruno. that's about all. look at the east bay and south bay map. not a lot of slow traffic here on 280 and 101.

traffic is moving along okay in the santa cruz mountains as well. it is looking good. 7:05. back to the desk. >> all right, sal. new details on the major immigration sweeps across northern california this week. >> ktvu's christien kafton is at oakland city hall this morning with some of the numbers after all of the raids. >> reporter: yeah. good morning, guys. immigration and customs enforcement sending out the latest information, the latest number of people that were picked up in their latest immigration effort here in the bay area and in northern california. ice now saying it arrested 232 people over four days. it says 180 were either convicted criminals or issued a deportation order or had returned to the u.s. illegally. of those, ice is reporting that 115 had felony convictions, including child sex crimes and weapons charges. the latest count comes after the justice department said it would have made 800 arrests if it hadn't been for oakland

mayor libby schaaf issuing a public warning that the raid was imminent. now the white house is speaking out. >> i think it is outrageous that a mayor would circumvent federal authorities and certainly put them in danger by making a move such as that and it is currently under review by the department of justice. >> reporter: now, for its part, mayor schaaf's office is saying it is unaware of that review. many in oakland say they support the mayor's efforts. across the bay in san francisco, interim mayor mark farrell is fighting back against the trump administration on the issue of immigration as well. san francisco leaders there announcing $11 million in funding efforts to cover the cost of representation to pay for any immigrant detained in the city of san francisco. >> if we don't stand behind them, nobody will. but most importantly i say it is not only the right thing to do but it is the san francisco thing to do. >> reporter: and just a programming note, guys, remember that on monday,

oakland mayor schaaf set to come to the station on monday, sit down with our anchors to discuss a wide range of issues. and guys, i'm sure that you and everyone has a lot of questions about this immigration issue and how it will continue to shape up here in oakland and really around the bay area. i'm sure that will be a very interesting interview on monday morning. >> yeah. it will be great to have her in here to talk to her directly and ask those questions. in the south bay, advocates in santa clara county confirm there have been more than 150 calls to a hotline reporting issac test in the past -- reporting ice activity in the past 24 hours. specifically in san jose. ice operations conducted and reported to the network have resulted in at least seven confirmed detentions. ice may have conducted additional arrests.

there is a take back our community rally tonight at 5:00 in san jose. our time is 7:08. an investigation continues into the death of a 5-year-old girl killed in a crash yesterday morning near concord. officials say child safety seats were not properly used or none at all. it happened on southbound kirker pass just outside of the limits of the city of concord. an suv went off the road and into an embankment. there were four people inside, including the 5-year-old girl and 6-year-old brother. the little girl was rushed to the hospital. that's where she died. the little boy suffered minor to moderate injuries. the two adults suffered minor injuries. we have more details now regarding a police shooting wednesday afternoon in fairfield. authorities have identified the detective who opened fire and the suspect he shot and wounded. fairfield police detective robert murray was working with the sheriff's deputy when they

spotted christian reyes. they attempted to stop him. there was a chase and officer murray opened fire when he saw reyes reach for a gun near his waist. reyes is in critical condition. there was a replica gun recovered at the scene. mark farrell supports a ballot measure that would speed up the timeline to buy tasers for the officers. if approved, it would allow the department to buy tasers as soon as august. supporters say they don't want to wait until december, which was the date set by the police commission when it approved the use of tasers last year. chief william scott opposes the ballot measure because it would prevent the police commission from making changes to the policy. the time is now 7:09. the san jose police department has identified the person who threatened to shoot up schools earlier this westbound. they're saying a 12-year-old

girl made the threat on twitter. police contacted her at her home. she was not taken into custody. officers say the investigation continues and if you have more information, get in contact with the police. well, former arizona congressman -- congress woman gabby gifford continues students to continue their efforts on gun control. she was in san francisco for a fundraiser for a uc scholarship in the name of dave zimmerman who was her congressional aid. he was one of six people killed in the shooting back in 2011. a shooting that left former congress woman gifford seriously injured. she has been an outspoken supporter of stronger gun laws. after the florida high school shootings, she announced a campaign to help defeat republican lawmakers who block legislation to curb gun violence. still ahead, uber has just come out with another service.

coming up, how the ride service is helping users. why the president is introducing a tariff on steel and aluminum. good morning. you can see traffic is light in most areas, except for the bay bridge. but here in san jose, it still qualifies as light traffic into the valley. and so it begins. already some rain and hail in the san ramon hills. we've had one report of that. boy, is it getting cold out there. we will have more coming up.

republicans in the georgia state legislature trying to punish delta airlines because of delta's position on the nra. there was a sweeping tax bill, it was amended to leave out a sales tax exemption on jet fuel. delta would have been the main beneficiary. this comes after delta said it would not offer discount fares to nra members. he criticized the controversy as an unbecoming squabble but says he will sign it. no comment from delta or the nra. president trump is suggesting new measures to combat the opioid crisis. the president hosted a white house summit yesterday and discussed addiction and penalties against drug dealers. >> they kill hundreds and hundreds of people. and most of them don't even go to jail.

if you shoot one person, they give you life. they give you the death penalty. these people with kill 2,000, 3,000 people and nothing happens to them. >> president trump said that his administration will roll out unspecified strong policies on opioids over the next three weeks. he also referenced other companies that execute drug dealers. white house officials say the administration is considering whether to make trafficking large quantities of fentanyl a capital crime. the time is 7:17. we're going to get you to where you need to go. sal is watching our commute. hopefully everyone is behaving for you, sal. >> everybody is behaving for the most part, dave and pam. a lighter than usual day, except for one spot. where is that? i'll show it to you. let's go to the bay bridge toll plaza. it is not light here. backed up all the way to the maze. since it is a lighter day in general, as we get closer to

9:00, this traffic may wane and it will get better going into san francisco. i can show you the other commutes look good. 101 in san francisco is a little slow approaching the 80 split from cesar chavez. this is the peak of the commute. it is not stop and go in oakland but it is getting more congested farther up the road near hyde street. congested. but if you are driving on the peninsula, we're seeing a little more slow traffic. it has been lighter than usual. today it definitely is better than yesterday. 7:18. let's bring in steve with today's forecast. >> thank you, sir. the forecast is already starting to pick up big time here. we will get snow reports first from our good friend coop up in kirkwood. we talked about it, it would be in feed. 24 hour snow totals kirkwood, three feet. heavenly, 30 inches. north star, 20 inches of new snow. we will have low snow levels around here for sure. but anybody is in the mix for

>> welcome back to mornings on 2. the time is 7:24. we're following reports of a shooting on the campus of central michigan university in mount pleasant. these are live pictures. according to michigan state police, two people were killed at campbell hall on this campus in michigan -- central michigan university. students are being told to shelter in place. close the doors. close the windows. the city has posted information about a suspect on facebook. they say they're looking for an avalanche african-american man who may be dangerous. the fbi is heading to that campus. will stay on the story. these are live pictures, central michigan university. we will continue to follow this breaking news and bring you

more information as it becomes available. well, in today's dollars and sense, get ready to pay more for japanese cars in particular. that is word from overseas after the president's comments about a tougher stance on trade. that is affecting stock markets around the world. many u.s. companies as well. we will have more on the specifics in a moment. first to the opening bell where stocks dropped significantly this morning. now, the good side, shares in san francisco based gap gained after beating analyst estimates for the quarter. foot locker also reported good numbers. they're celebrating the u.s. curling team there with their first gold ever. but taking a look at the numbers. it is a dismal story, continuing right where the markets left off yesterday. down 327 points this morning for the dow. more than one and a quarter percent. the nasdaq also down almost a full percentage point. the s&p 500 also down a full

percentage point there. 2654. well, the tariffs that president trump announced could also lead to higher costs for alcohol and even baseball equipment, as well as cars. earlier we mentioned that the president is promising to impose new import tariffs on steel and aluminum next week. but toyota warns that the move will substantially raise its production costs and force the automaker to increase the prices of its cars and trucks sold here in the united states. aluminum beer cans and baseball bats will also become more expensive if the companies decide to pass off the production costs on to consumers. well, uber is starting a new service that will help people get to their doctor's appointments. uber health was launched yesterday. the service allows health providers to set up rides for their patients to make sure they can get to their appointments. the businesses will be billed for the ride. and the rides can be set up days or hours in notes have a. uber wants to help the millions

>> welcome back to mornings on 2. it is 7:30. more rain for southern california. a mandatory evacuation order affecting 30,000 people for santa barbara county. one spot affected was montecito, hard hit by the thomas fire. two dozen people were killed by

mudslides in that area in january. this new storm could dump several inches of rain in the burn areas of santa barbara arra county. back in the northeast, a powerful winter storm has strong winds, heavy rain, even snow. it is expected to be the biggest storm to hit the east coast since january's bomb cyclone. offices in washington, d.c. are closed because of the storms. schools are closed. people along the coast are being warned they could be hit by hurricane force winds. you see huge waves and record breaking coastal flooding. >> move the vehicles to higher ground. keep an eye on the property for any movable debris. and pay attention to the weather forecasts. >> the storm's impact may be felt for several days back east. well, this morning we are already hearing about some canceled flights at san francisco's airport because of the weather back east. so far 18 flights have been canceled. yesterday of course we had bad

weather as well. 145 flights canceled at sfo. and there were more than 400 delays. so there's a live look at the airport. certainly clearer here today. so that hopefully should help. thank you for joining us on mornings on 2. i'm pam cook. gasia has the day off today. >> i'm dave clark. we're going right to steve paulson. what is happening in our area? >> we already got hail reports, san ramon and alameda. >> alameda. >> yeah. let's get right to it. heading over towards skyline boulevard, oakland zoo. kat says hailing. you see it going over skyline. it went over alameda. we've had others. several san ramon had two reports there. snow, rain mix and hail. the system is rotating in and will make its presence felt really fast if it hasn't already. from fremont to palo alto. i would not be surprised if there was hail near mill

valley. it looked like there was briefly. and on the golden gate bridge or the robin williams tunnel. 30s and 40s on the temps. the system will you, you name it today. rainbows and low snow levels all in the forecast today. all right, sal. here you are. >> all right, steve. right now we're looking at a commute that is not bad. 20-minute drive from the carquinez bridge to the macarthur maze. so most of the east bay freeways are actually doing okay. if we go to the maze, i'll show you it is a 20-minute drive that. is pretty good for this time of morning. really any time of the morning. when you get to the bay bridge, you will definitely see slow traffic there. another 20 minutes to wait before you make it on to the span. san francisco looks pretty good. slowing north 101 approaching cesar chavez. 880 is slowing down near the coliseum. under the speed limit down to downtown. the south bay commute looks good all in all.

a live look at 280. 7:34. back to the desk. >> thank you, sal. we're following breaking news. the campus shooting at central michigan university. these are live pictures from michigan. you can hear all of the background information that we're also following. according to michigan state police, two people have already been killed at campbell hall on that campus. students are being advised to take shelter. now, the information posted by the city as they search for a suspect, he is described as a man. we don't know much about him. we don't know if he is a student or not. they consider him to be armed and dangerous, obviously. the fbi is on the way to the campus to investigate. again, central michigan university, reports of two people shot and killed this morning on the campus. we will keep an eye on this and bring you more details as we get them. all right. something also we have been talking about here in the bay area is an alert to bart

riders. now, a crackdown that was supposed to go into effect yesterday is beginning this morning. >> cracking down on people trying to sneak on to bart trains without paying. alex savidge is watt the walnut creek bart station following all of this with the details on what is happening out there. good morning, alex. >> reporter: pam, dave, good morning to you. and up until now, bart police had simply been handing out warnings to people who were caught riding the trains without paying. but starting today, if you don't have a valid ticket, you potentially could wind up with a ticket that could cost as much as $75. bart police officers have begun issuing citations to fare evaders, part of a major crackdown. bart is sending out the fare inspection team to various stations across the system. officers will be using special readers to check people's paper tickets and their clipper cards to make sure they're valid. bart riders who pay their fair share are glad to hear about

the crackdown. >> yes. i'm thrilled about it. you know, i pay almost $15 a day to use bart. i go to san francisco. so my fare plus my parking. and i think that if everybody paid, maybe we wouldn't have a price increase. >> people do evade the fares every day. i watch them walk through. people go past and don't pay. >> reporter: this is all part of an effort to deal with a serious fare evasion problem on bart. the agency estimates it has been losing out on $25 million a year because of people who ride for free. bart's board of directors last year pass what had is called a proof of payment ordinance, requiring anyone inside a station or on a train to have a valid ticket. that rule went into effect on january 1st. >> our fare inspectors will be collecting daily data. the number of people that don't have the proper fare media and the number of citations issued. hopefully we will see a decline

over time that a smaller percentage of people are contacted that don't have the ticket processed properly. >> reporter: now, bart says fare inspectors will be moving from one passenger to the next. we saw them at the bottom of an escalator checking every single person who comes past them. they want to reduce the perception of profiling that some people think could take place. now, the inspectors also are going to be wearing body cameras so that footage of any particular interaction can be reviewed after the fact. again, since the first of the year, bart police had been issuing warnings to people caught without valid tickets. the warnings end today. today the actual tickets will be handed out. >> thank you, alex savidge, in walnut creek. the time is now 7:37. the reverend billy graham will be buried and laid to rest today. >> lauren blanchard has more on the farewell for the man known as america's pastor. good morning, lauren.

>> reporter: good morning, pam and dave. hello from a blustery north carolina. we're live at the billy graham library. we will tap or a week's worth of events honoring billy graham. he is known to many for spreading christianity to millions around the world. >> everywhere he went, reverend graham delivered the same beautiful message, god loves you. >> reporter: president trump will join some 2300 people to remember how graham's ministry launched during a 1949 crusade in downtown l.a. >> i do not believe that any man, that any man can solve the problems of life without jesus christ. >> reporter: graham died at his home in north carolina last week at the age of 99. >> we lost one of the best men ever known. >> good man gone. >> there's never been a man so

-- that loved god as much as billy graham. >> reporter: he lied in honor in the capitol rotunda on wednesday. graham just the fourth private citizen given that distinction. he spent decades traveling the world spreading his faith. >> here lies america's pastor. a man made great not by who he was, but by who he served. >> reporter: his son, the reverend franklin graham, will be among those who will speak at the ceremony today. later reverend graham will be buried alongside his wife of 65 years, ruth, in the prayer garden here at the billy graham library. pam, dave. >> lauren, before you go. i have heard reports that there are plans to turn billy graham's home into a special retreat. have you heard about that? >> reporter: dave, that is news to me, if that is so.

as of right now, the focus today is really on the funeral. >> yes. >> reporter: and remembering the legacy of billy graham. but at this point they're just trying to get through today. >> yes. >> reporter: and make it as special as they can. >> lauren, i know we have heard that people showed up hours ahead to get their seats. it is an invitation only event for 2,000 people. >> right. >> reporter: certainly we can see some of the crowds there. are they going to have anything outside, any screens for people who can't get inside but just want to be there? >> reporter: well, this ceremony in particular, 2300 tickets given out. they will all be inside of the tent that you can see behind me. otherwise the billy graham library will be live streaming the event for those that want to watch and aren't able to be here today. you're right. these folks have been here for hours. i know we have been here since about 5:00 a.m. and there were folks showing up around 6:00 a.m. so 5, 6 hours ahead of the

actual ceremony time. >> just to make sure that they get a seat for the event lauren blanchard there in north carolina. we will check in with you throughout the morning and this afternoon for that service. well, new police numbers show violent crime is down in san francisco. but property crimes are actually way up. property crimes include home burglaries, package thefts and car break-ins which we have talked about a lot. statistics show there were 54,000 property crimes reported last year. that's up 7,000 from the year before. car break-ins jumped nearly 25%. police say often the thieves are given probation and not jail time which allows them to go right back out and commit more crimes. >> so it is a target rich environment. criminals know that. when they don't face significant consequences if they're caught, they have no reason to go commit crimes anywhere else. >> some people say that they are frustrated by the increase

in property crimes and they want stiffer sentences for the thieves. some residents are taking extra security precautions, including installing video surveillance and organizing neighborhood watch group. that is always a good idea. keep an eye on your neighbors. >> still talking about our weather and cleaning up storm damage around the bay area. coming up at 8:00, we will show you some of the damage caused by the latest storm. and are people who smoke cigarettes working as hard as non-smokers in a new survey shows that people want compensation for not taking the smoke breaks. at&t has a network with thousands of best-in-class security experts. which means... more of the eye balls you want watching the network... & less of the ones you don't... more experts preventing security issues & less security threats

impacting our customers. more of a highly secure network with more security products available for further protection & less per month than comcast for business internet. switch to at&t internet for business. more & less - that's the power of &.

>> welcome back to mornings on 2. we are asking a question of you today. >> yes. >> is it fair for smokers to be

able to take several smoke breaks at work? a survey says non-smokers say it is fine but they want something in return. >> halo cigs did the survey. 81% of smokers think that smoke breaks are fair. 75% of non-smokers disagree. also the survey estimated the average smoker uses six days a year on work smoke breaks. the smokers surveyed say they would give up the smoke breaks if they got 11 extra vacation days in return, pam. but the nonsmokers say they're the one that's should get more vacation days. that is our question of the day. should nonsmokers get extra vacation days? so far 63% of you say yes. they should. 37% say no, they should not. let us know what you think by voting on our ktvu twitter page. you can also comment on our

glad i quit. >> yeah. >> so is my family. >> reporter: how about your brother? >> okay. i'm a former smoker also. and i can't stand the smoking anymore. and i'm against anything that relates to tobacco. >> reporter: so no extra vacation. >> no. no breaks for a smoker. >> reporter: bob, you run your own company and you probably have employees. how would you keep track of it. >> i don't think you could. i don't think you reward somebody who doesn't smoke. it is rewarding somebody that does. i don't think they should be taking a break. right now -- if you can excuse me, i have to go out and have a smoke. >> reporter: none of these guys are smokers now. how about you, sir? what do you think? >> i'm not for smoking. it was a hard addiction. you know, we grew up with our dad smoking. so we were smoking like 12 years old. right. >> reporter: yeah. >> it was the hardest thing. i quit ten times in my life. but stick and quit is hard.

accident. that will help us out. san francisco traffic is okay. this is a look at 880 traffic passing through oakland. it is getting a little slower. in general as you look at the road sensors, traffic is a little slow on highway 101 at 92 because of an accident they're clearing here. use 280 instead. and the rest of the commute looks good. san jose a little bit of slowing. but it is generally light. let's bring in steve with today's forecast. >> it is really quiet out there, sal. not a cloud in the sky. all right. there is already hail reports in oakland, alameda, san ramon. and we're just getting started. let's just get right to it. it is cold out there as well. it will be a lot more snow certainly up in mendocino and lake county. they were closer to the cold air. steve, as a fellow transplant from michigan, can you do me a small favor and lie to me about the cold for now. it is very warm out there. very, very warm. it is cold for us. i used to live in michigan

same time. >> reporter: okay. >> wouldn't that be fair? >> reporter: it would seem to be fair. gary, you kind of feel the same way, right? >> well, i think that's true. the big problem that you would have is quantify how much time is enough time. and the -- there's a big variation between smoke breaks. some of them smoke half a cigarette and some of them smoke four. >> yeah. so that makes a huge difference in the amount of time that we're talking about asanas compensation for nonsmokers. >> reporter: it gets complicated. >> yes. >> reporter: i have a friend of mine back east chime in. the nonsmokers are getting a bonus because they will live a longer life-like ben back here if they give it up. something to think of. we're at dell's cafe in castro valley with the question of the day. back to you. >> all right. it is a good one. thank you, frank. all right. we also continue to follow that breaking news out of central

police, two people were killed at a residents hall on campus. police say the two people who were killed are not students. and they say they believe the shooting started from a domestic situation. students are being advised to shelter in place. city has posted information about a gunman on facebook. they say they are looking for a 19-year-old man who they consider to be armed and dangerous. we're also tracking weather from coast to coast here in the bay area. clean-up is underway following yesterday's storm f you're headed off to the sierra, get ready for delays on the roadways. parts of santa barbara county remain under a mandatory evacuation order as southern california braces for more rain today. on the east coast, a nor'easter is slamming a number of states. that is leading to flight delays and cancellations at san francisco international. so far 18 flights have been canceled. yesterday there were 145 flights canceled at sfo and more than 400 delays because of

the weather here. with that, welcome back to mornings on 2. i'm mike mibach. >> i'm pam cook in for gasia today. we want to continue with the weather reports. i know the roads were closed, steve, but people will try to take this break and head up to the snow. >> i know 88. >> okay. >> carson pass are having -- it will take a while to clear that out. we're getting snow here. >> locally. tam? >> yeah. tam, skyline, right there. right there. that looks like snow to me. maybe some hail reports. there was a lot of love for marin county yesterday. i need a little help now this morning. if you're getting hail or snow, let me snow. i know you're getting rain. that line is forming towards richmond. and then highway 80, heading towards el cerrito and el sobrante. bay point, highway 4. that's not the only ones. it is a cold one out there. 30s and 40s. it will be colder tomorrow.

the coldest air is arriving saturday. look at the east san jose foothills. just going bonkers with snow. then from fremont, milpitas and skyline, highway 35, you might see some. into the santa cruz mountains, we are starting to see a rain- snow mix. to the north, it will pop off f it hasn't already, it will soon. the cold air is swinging in. anything today. sun, cloud, showers, thunder showers, hail, and low snow reports. quick downpours would not surprise me in any way, shape or form. it is a rainbow weather day and it is a cool day. 50s on the temps. 8:32. sal tells us what? >> things are improving a little bit, steve. at the bay bridge, we had a stall. it has been gone for a bit. look at this. traffic is finally beginning to improve a little bit. not completely light but i can

see improvement. also it is telling that the wind has started up again at the bay bridge. earlier this morning, the flags were not moving at all. now you can see that there is a wind looking like it is from the south at least for a little bit here. but it is not bad enough to affect your driving. this is a look at 880 northbound. a little bit of slow traffic here. southbound 101, i would avoid it from, say, the airport down to 92 because of an earlier accident. 280 is your friend this morning. it looks down the peninsula. 8:33. bart had planned a crackdown with citations tomorrow for fare evaders. now the enforcement is now underway. >> reporter: bart police are trying to make sure that every rider pays their fair share. starting today, anyone caught without a valid ticket could be issued a ticket that could cost
