it drops 24 millibars in 24 hours. but what was the most impactful part of this was the sting jet that developed on the southern end of this as the storm came in. that band of purple that got pulled right across the peninsula of the city and the bay, that is where we got most of her damage. unfortunately we are reporting on five fatalities from this storm. all five were caused by downed trees. that is just one of the aspects of this. it wasn't just the storm yesterday that was responsible for this. we forget this. it was the three years of intense drought, which killed historic numbers of trees statewide. here in the bay, on top of that, we also had pathogens in our local eucalyptus and oak trees, which killed a lot more. there was so much talk about this over the previous years. that is what set the stage. 79-mile-per-hour winds, that would have been impressive

enough, but this was a compounded event yesterday. half of the responsibility in terms of those fatalities has to go to the drop beforehand. i don't think a lot of us think about it in those terms. we have another storm coming next tuesday that will probably not do this, but there is more rain and more wind. for now, guys, back to you. well, there goes! new video shows the power of the wind during the storm. this was in the city of richmond, where that big tree was knocked down around this time yesterday. and in southern california, extremely fast winds, strong winds damaged at least five buildings just outside of l.a. the funnel cloud seen over montebello, which is just east of downtown los angeles, is now being considered a possible tornado. michelle talked to a local warehouse worker who rode out the storm. >> reporter: he has worked in this area for 39 years and was

in the middle of all of it. he has been taking us on a tour and we have walked across the street from where we were just a moment or so ago. we were right behind khoikhoi trading incorporated, and this is what he described. it was almost like -- >> tornado, what was, struck across the street from my building into this alley. this is where just bounced off the wall like a top, just picking up pallets, 20 pound pallets flying in the air and just bouncing in this corner. >> reporter: yeah, what we are seeing here, tim is showing you these pallets that are shredded. the metal doors that have come down. the van -- i wonder what hit this van. all the debris. >> yeah, all this debris from broken skylights was flying through here. >> you mentioned that you and your wife were holding onto a

fence. were things hitting u.s. they were flying through the air? >> mostly in our alley was just cardboard and stuff, but the debris had already came over us at that point. >> reporter: this is some sort of a dumpster that has been tipped over. this is all asphalt here. look at these pieces! and a piece just this large is heavy, right? >> correct. >> reporter: look at the damage! it has ripped the paint off in some places. >> that's right. it was all of us out in an alley, and only one person got hit, and that was by a door. i am surprised that no one got hit by the flying debris. you could not even see across the street, there was that much debris blowing. you would have never believed it. >> meanwhile, the national weather service sending his surveillance team to santa barbara county. they will look at whether this

allowed back inside. another rate hike today. skyler henry explains how the volatility of the u.s. banking system caused this. >> we are committed to restoring price stability, and all the evidence is the public has confidence that we will do so and bring inflation down to 2% over time. >> reporter: fed chair jerome powell said the fed decided on a lower rate increase after considering keeping rates unchanged. >> you could consider it the equivalent of a rate hike or perhaps more than that. it is not possible to make the assessment today with any precision whatsoever. >> reporter: higher rates means it will cost more to borrow money. that could cause some banks to pull back on loans, putting further strain on the economy. >> if banks pull back on lending and borrowing is lessened and individuals and businesses have less money to spend on the economy, we could

see a slowdown that would lead to a recession. >> reporter: janet yellen defended the recent decision to rescue even the uninsured depositors at banks. >> we took measures to protect the depositors of the two failed institution and provide additional liquidity for banks. this was designed to mitigate risks to the banking system. >> reporter: chair powell estimated that the upheaval would likely result in less lending and higher unemployment. fed officials expect they will have to raise rates later on once again this year. san francisco double the amount of money spent on tourism in 2022 compared to 2021 as it tried to recover from the pandemic. that comes to $7.4 billion, but that is still only 77% of the record high that the city spent in 2019. it is expecting to get back to that number in 2024. the number of tourists visiting san francisco grew by 29% last

is of the traffic in southern california wasn't bad enough, now they're doing with big potholes due to the recent storms. this was the scene in san

dimas today. >> a little bit of rain wasn't about to stop these striking teachers in los angeles doing a little dance there in the middle of a downpour. looks like they are having a little fun, even though it is a serious issue with striking teachers within the l.a. unified school district. >> yes, it is the nation's second-largest school district on strike. but they are making the most of it from this shot. what is amazing about this storm is that it has affected so much of the state of california. we got hit up here and they got hit down there. kind of just chaos out there, darren. same storm. we have two different sides of it. we have the center of it yesterday, which is why we had things like fujiwara and sting jets and all these other things. they really had kind of the more traditional atmospheric river that had a ton of energy to it as well, and was able to produce a very low-grade tornado down there. on first alert doppler we have rain down here to discuss.

there is not a whole lot to this. you see there is a cooler pattern and actually a lightning strike that shows up in central california of the past few hours. that shows you where the focus for this system is now. it is not here but down to the south, and we are done with it. so let's move on. just for a closer view, we are not entirely out of it, because there are showers that will develop to the east. if you look out past the past and towards the reflectivity here, you can see that this is just a leftover piece of this that will start to fall apart over the remainder of tonight. futurecast shows a little bit more of it in the east bay. we will cast it forward. that gets out of fear. as we go through tonight we are looking for clear skies. through tomorrow you will have some clear skies, until next week when a little cold front shows up. this is an entirely separate and unrelated system to the one that we had yesterday. that's new, but it is really

more like garden-variety, you know, early spring system which falls apart before you even get past the golden gate. so we will notice the showers tomorrow and about a 10th of an inch of rain. it gets down to the golden gate by 11:00 in the morning, then maybe about a 10th of an inch of rain. it does get breezy. you can see it right there. that is in the afternoon and evening. this is pretty classic when you have a cold front come through. the wind shifts behind that front. it will feel cool as the system comes through, then the winds pretty much died down. so that's thursday. daytime highs tomorrow will warm up into the upper 50s. after that we get a break! we don't have to look at any storms. but unfortunately, we have got to look at long-range for the

next week, because we are seeing developments of the next system. so this means that the bigger picture, the next system will get here by next tuesday. so on the high resolution models where we see all these glorious details, we have to kind of leave that behind and put that into long-range forecast. you cannot get super specific when you start looking at day five, which is what we are about to do. the system develops for tuesday of next week. and that is even a little bit further out than the five day window. couple of things we can already see, even in the low resolution, the system has two very familiar components to it. one of them there was a cold center of low pressure that dives down out of the gulf of alaska and will give us the energy. there is also the line reaching back down into the lower latitudes and even the subtropics showing up with moisture. doesn't that sound familiar?

it is too early to get specific on it. we are not talking about atmospheric rivers or bomb cycles. are any of these things possible at this point? yes, from looking at the low resolution forecast model, particularly as next tuesday we have rain, and the wind needs to be monitored. we will have more details on all of that in the coming days. back to you. time for a check of what's ahead at 6:00, and we switch over to juliette goodrich tonight! >> thanks. the santa cruz mountains often in the bull's-eye of storms, but even longtime residents say they have never seen anything like this. part of boulder creek practically cut off. we checked in with locals who are simply navigating a maze of fallen trees and all of these road closures. also, the story of how neighbors stepped in to help a woman when a swath of the forest came crashing in on her home. plus the damage not just on land. the scramble on the bay, when part of a dock broke free, taking several sailboats with

this. i was just doing tv on the weekend, now i get to coach. this is what i love to do. >> an old guy like me getting to hang out with you guys? thank you, man. it is special. it is better than hanging out with those two dogs and playing golf all day. >> complaining about playing golf three times a week and walking the dog? come on, coach! now he is the leader of 25 men with the opener coming up on sunday. >> his wife he wanted to kick him out of the house, too! >> burn, thank you so much. we appreciate it. after a snow season that hasn't

it has been one of the snowiest seasons on record in the sierra. you might see that lake tahoe businesses are dealing with an avalanche of revenue. >> as ashley sharp found out, there can be too much of a good thing. >> it is a wonderful thing, but can be too much as well! >> reporter: dr. andrew schwartz says that it can be a huge benefit to the state's water resources, but -- >> we are also seeing some issues with loading and structures and emergency issues with businesses having to close. >> reporter: 2023 is now the
