The rains that pounded the Bay Area caused so much flooding that Interstate Highway 580 by Oakland's Fruitvale and Laurel districts shut the roads early Friday morning.
About 3 a.m., the California Highway Patrol shut down westbound 580 at MacArthur Boulevard/High Street.
There was no word on when crews could pump the water off the freeway. The heaviest rains will stretch into Friday morning, but lessen throughout the day, according to the National Weather Service.All the news you need to know, every day
