Saturday's powerful storm brought with it a powerful lesson in human kindness and connection for three people on an East Bay freeway.
DUBLIN -- On Saturday, the atmospheric river arrived as predicted. Rain came down in a torrent in the East Bay; water poured down hillside neighborhoods in Alamo.
Down the street, Tom Schulz was happily walking his dog, Brittney. Neither seemed bothered by the deluge that was turning a normally placid drainage creek into a raging river. "I knew I wanted to check on whoever it was," Gina said. "So, I see her come out of the car and I just hugged her and I'm, like, 'it's OK!' And she's, like, shaking."Hana Jan was behind the wheel and the dashcam video shows her collapsing into Gina's arms. Later, Jan said it was the wildest ride of her life.
