11:01 pm
even though it hasn't been raining. that ground is still moving. so this exposed gas line is under a lot of pressure and that's why it has to be rerouted. pg&e cruise are in a race against time and the elements in their attempt to reroute a main pg&e gas distribution line. we have seen some erosion in the locations due to the significant amount of rainfall we've had but this is probably the most significant event we've had during these these winter storms this week storm caused a massive landslide, which exposed to pg&e gas line, even though there hasn't been any rain in the past few days officials one that the ground continues to move that's putting pressure on the gas line forcing them to reroute it working to relocate our gas line in order to get away from that hazard so we can still have gas service to the 95,000 customers here in marion county officials say it's a massive undertaking in a short amount of time cruise have to cut through the frontage road and the highway so they ony
11:02 pm
's aot 2,000eet ofreng it out on order to make sure that we can keep these customers in service. it's not something where we're we're actually have damage to the pipe. there is no leak there is no danger to the public crews. hope to finish the work before next week's storm even under the dry conditions. the hill is moving. the landslide is moving in. further anticipate that with the wet weather returning more land movement is is very possible and expected according to joel mccarthy interim deputy fire chief with the novato fire department. the gas lines are fairly new. he creates pg&e's upkeep in preventing the lines from breaking under the current conditions. he adds there will be other concerns throughout the process such as impacts to the underground water lines, which includes the natural. excuse me, the north marine water district novato aqueduct, which is a 30-inch gas line or excuse me, a 30 inch water line
11:03 pm
that provides water the north marine communities and some portions of west marin as well as the transportation system highway 101 is vital to our economy. we need to keep that moving between meridian sonoma counties. dion pg&e officials hope to be done by tomorrow morning at 9 am they don't expect any disruption in service reporting live ansar hassan abc 7 news story. we'll continue to follow unser. thank you. storm damage from tuesday's epic bomb cyclone is still being tallied in the east bay a massive cleanup is planned after several beloved ancient trees and dozens of plants were destroyed at the uc botanical garden. abc 7 news reporter cornell bernard spoke with the gardens director about what was lost but people who are on this side of the garden actually heard a cracking sound lou feldman is showing us what tuesday's bomb cyclone storm left inside the uc botanical garden in the berkeley hills the scope of the damage is
11:04 pm
extensive. so it's been it's really quite massive and it really of course has a dramatically damaged his portion of the garden pierce winds toppled this beloved giant redwood tree inside the asian plant section of the garden taking out a picnic table and portions of the bamboo grove when it fella snapped off and it actually took out that portion over there the bamboo grow. yeah feldman says more than 50 rare plants were all so destroyed one of the biggest losses. is this california buckeye tree planted a hundred and fifty years ago as you can see completely crushed by the weight of the redwood tree and it's almost impossible to replace a california native, which is a tree that people are very very sad to see disappear staff members held a memorial this week to honor the fallen trees and a toast garden area where we're now located where the tree fell was dramatically changed and it is in a condition that we had to close it to the public because it's unsafe feldman says the redwood was actually one of
11:05 pm
three trees with one trunk. the tree is probably so dangerous now as far as it's structure that we're going to have to take the whole tree down. the cleanup bill could top 50,000 dollars, but feldman doesn't expect the university of california to pay so donations from the public may be the only way to move forward to repair and restore this gem in the east bay. so there's an opportunity. it's not an end. it's a kind of a pause and we will certainly redevelop it in berkeley cornell bernard abc 7 news. oakland zoo officials say they've recovered five of the six birds that flew through a torn aviary mesh and are still on zoo grounds the zoo shared this video today of them capturing a pied crow a few miles away a woman spotted the bird in her yard and the zoo came and managed to somehow lure it inside the home. you can see that woman just slams the door trapping it inside several trees fell on zoo grounds during tuesday's storm one even fell onto the zeus african.
