SF Bay Area Storm

A storm predicted to bring torrential rains and hurricane force winds pushed across parts of Northern California early Thursday, after residents stocked up on supplies, schools canceled classes, and communities prepared for possible emergencies.
....
As much as 8 inches of rain could fall on coastal mountains over a 24-hour period starting late Wednesday, the weather service said.

This is as close to a hurricane as Northern California is going to get. But the heavy rainfall is not even remotely enough to reverse the drought. A lot of people are working from home, and many Bay Area schools are closed. Traffic was surprisingly light this morning. I say surprisingly because traffic is typically crawling when it rains.

Any other BBSers in the Bay Area affected?

I must admit I've been a bit amused hearing about the second "Storm of the Century" in the last couple of weeks.

I got to work in about 25 minutes when it usually takes 45 to an hour. Rain wasn't bad on the way but the wind did pick up a few times. Once I got to work though it started pouring and hasn't let up since. I'm crossing my fingers for a power outage.

The school district I work at shut down classes for the two days because of the storm. Thursday was crazy but Friday turned into a pretty nice day. I was surprised the District didn't run the high schools or middle schools.

My wife is a teacher. Their school didn't close, but about half the kids didn't show up.
