>> troops on the ground. and the new effort under way to keep a hawaiian town safe.

they're getting ready in san franciscos a we take a live look at the parade preps that are still under way. we have crews all along the route this morning coming up in just a few minutes. we'll have live team coverage,

including when the rain will hit the hardest and how you can get through the city if you're trying to avoid the massive crowd. let's go to know brandon crawford a little better. he's 27, born in mountain view. his grand slam in was the first ever in a postseason game. >> got to love the local kids. >> and this is lava creeping toward homes. more than 80 troops will help provide security and set up a roadblock for safety. so far it has consumed a shed but thus far no homes. >> 6:41, an update to breaking news. one person shot to death in san jose. now an update to who pulled the

market. >> christina has a look at the forecast not only for the parade but it's halloween, trick or treaters. >> it's halloween. a lot of kids are not happy about this rainfall. but i work hard, especially on a day when you know you're going to be exposed to the elements. i do have a time when up can get out and it won't be that bad. 63s a i'm watching on the east camera. i guess we'll have to find out about that a little later on today. they're definitely prepared. s a we head throughout the day today, we're going to continue to see these showers intensify. we'll stay in the 60ss a we head throughout your afternoon. not a big temperature climb.

the showers are mostly in sonoma county. starting to get a little more activity in moran and now we're hitting that extends from the hawaiian islands all the way to california. typically when we hit that tap, we get higher rainfall totals in the south bay than in the north bay. you can see that's going to be the case. you're talking about line rainfall in santa rosa. mean while heavy at 2:00. we start to get some heavy downpours at that point here in the south bay. continues about 6:00 and 8:00, the heavy stuff presses out of here. it going to be we'll see a few more showers tomorrow morning

and then a gorgeous weekend, including an extra hour of sleep. i sure am looking forward to that. i hope you are as well. san francisco expecting just under an inch of rain. we'll likely get about 3/4 here in the south bay. s a we head throughout monday and tuesday, a nice dry, warming trend for you. that will changes a we bring in more rain it's going to be rough out there, mike. >> it will be rough. in the areas that of the parade folks have to do the staging for those things as well. the i want to show you some

other spots as well. coming into the city, the bay bridge will be heavy from now all the way in f but so far traction is just fine through san rafael. a good number of cars, a steady stream coming southbound. it may be because of all the parade activities. folks going into the city from all around the bay, we're expecting about a million people and that will mean all these roadways fwr going to be but there's no additional parking tore balt you can pick any train and head down the peninsula. right now getting into the which

we'll keep you updated. meanwhile we're talking about the parade route. bart is a major concern and benefit if you can get up there from the east bay. we're looking at the embarcadero, montgomery, powell and city stations, underneath the parade route. yes, underneath. if you want to avoid that crowd, of course you're going to want to take the underground route. . >> the ferries will be operating from larkspur. no set schedule, just load and go, keep that in mind. >> we'll see if orange and black begins flooding market street, hoping for a glimpse of their favorite giant. a live look near the start of the parade. we've seen the crowds grow out

there, drinking something warm hopefully because ne just wanted to get a great spot. the city is no stranger to parades, we've done this back in 2010 and just two years ago in 2012. >> parking could be kind of challenging. instead why not just stake out a spot on the parade route. kind of like nanette miranda who joins us near at that time at that time park, where the floats are waiting to hit the streets. good morning. >> reporter: good morning, sam and laura. i am at at&t park where the floats are getting ready to head down to market street at about 11:30. so there's some hustle and bustle going on here in the parking lot. i am standing at or on the home run parade float and you know the giants needed a few of those home runs to get to win the world series. i'm told this is the last float built. yesterday morning, 24 lours ago there was nothing on this flat bed. but it's unbelievable, the magic that these workers are able to pull together. in case you're wondering why or

how these guys were able to get the floats together, they actually got the call from the giants about a week ago and workers started just sort of putting stuff together slowly but surely and then monday things got really serious and they started working 12-to-15 hour days. so they started putting the floats together even before anyone knew the giants would win the world series. >> we built this, started about two days before it really got serious in the championships. and it was like the stock markets. if they won, we worked like crazy. if they lost, we kind of slowed down. nothing was harder to build than a don't stop believing float when somebody's losing on you. >> i did see the don't stop believing floats around the corner here not too far away. of course that's name after the journey song that's sort of been

this giants fan mantra. so this is ready to go. they're headed around 11:30 to market street and everyone here is practically ready. live at at&t park, nanette miranda, "today in the bay." >> we just need the players on the floats. >> it will be quite a scramble, too, trying to get the floats ready. >> and bob redell picked out his spot hours ago. >> he's at market with prime real estate. >> we moved to market and biel. if you were hoping to get that prime real estate, these guys have already got it. what time did you get here? >> 5. >> reporter: you guys were veterans. you were here in 2010 and 2012. was this your spot then?

>> yes. >> reporter: is it a good spot? >> excellent spot. >> reporter: why was it so important to be here? you have the hassle of trying to get out of here, you had to get up early. >> no problem. we'll do it given in 2016. >> reporter: by the way, nice cupcakes. did you make it? >> no, my friend kristy made it. >> reporter: you're out here for a third time yourself? >> yes, i was out here i thought it was once in a lifetime and then twice in a lifetime and now i'm out here until i die! >> reporter: how many years you got in you? >> oh, at least 60. >> the whole thing was awesome. i'm happy to be here. i'm glad my boss let me be here. thank you, boss. >> reporter: and he was good in "home alone," too who do you

want to see? >> panik. >> reporter: oh, panik. are you going to okay with the rain? you have the umbrellas. >> come on, only three in a life time. who do you think has been the better team? 2010, 2012, 2014? >> 2014. the most improbable run ever. >> reporter: have fun today. if you do want to get out here, there are still spots along the parade route. keep in mind they're going to be shutting out these intersections as well. based on past experience of 2010, 2012, i'm thinking you want to probably be out here around 9:00.

the earlier the better but if you have to push, i'd say 9:00 you'd probably still be able to get a spot. there you go. not a lot of space there. almosts a much space in my rav 4. at the civic center, there will be a big show. mad bum, posey will speak. and willie mays, i know he was here in 2010 and i'm pretty sure he'll be here as well. unfortunately it's supposed to rain right around noon. i don't know who is going to have to be cleaning up that confetti. that's not going to be fun. wet con felty. >> it's nice to see the cloud picking up. >> if you were not awake before this, you are most certainly awake now. >> okay. if you don't want to deal with the crowd or the rain, bob mentioned it, christina has been

talking about it all morning long. you can stay here with us, watch the entire parade. our coverage kicks off at 11:00 a.m. for complete giants coverage, head to nbc bay area.com. >> on a lighter note, it costs a lot less to buy your halloween candy. >> let's not forget about halloween, still going on. very much in the forefront. scott mcgrew, in some people's cases, rebuy. >> a lot of people do this, they put it in in early september and then come today you go where's the halloween candy? the "new york times" did an analysis of the halloween prices over the years. they say the candy bars, brand name treats cost less when bought in bulk than in the 60s. the "times" does point out not everything commonly handed out

in the 60s is easily available, including candy cigarettes, which were popular in the 60s. the most popular candy to be handed out tonight is reese's peanut better cups and m & ms. >> and oil companies are pumming more oil and they're making more money. i guesss a gas prices fall, they're selling more. >> so top selling candy, reeses and m & m. those are strong choices. i'm going in with either hundred grand. i like some old school. >> i like it on halloween. you know what else is

appropriate? a little seasonal rainfall. unfortunately we didn't get any last year at this time but we looking at that for today and a lot of it. and sam's right, we sure need it. a lot of people are excited about this, especially our farmers in central california. 62 on the east shore with rain steadily coming in. heaviest time frame between 12:00 and 5:00. it looks like it's going to be very active. but you'll be able to get there with your little trick or treaters. happy halloween from the adorable cannon triplets. >> hey, don't miss with that tennis star. >> one of your daughters is looking at him like is he crazy? >> this is how laura looks at sam. >> remember, santa clara is closed between first and second because of a continuing police investigation going on there. we've been covering it in the newsroom. a slower drive approaching the

bay bridge but a big build at the bay bridge toll plaza. there is also a delay for bart getting into san francisco. the parade is going to send a million people into the city and we don't have a lot of parking. >> have a safe halloween. >> let the festivities begin. >> whoo! good morning. good morning. manhunt over. after 48 days on the run, suspected cop killer eric frein is finally in custody. the search ending in an abandoned air field. he'll face a judge this morning. how did he elude police for so long? call for help. the pilot of a small plane signals trouble. seconds before crashing into a flight training center at an airport in kansas. and sparking a horrific fire. at least four people killed, five others injured. and investigation now under way. long way down. a parachutist gets hung up on
