It was WILD at my place in the Oakland hills last night - crazy wind, tons of rain, gutters can't even begin to keep up. The front door is down a flight of steps and the entry way is poorly drained - I was afraid it would flood into the house, but it stayed just below the threshold, then slowly drained away.

I drove to BART and had to slowly drive through pretty deep water from time to time on my way. Today downtown in the city (SF) it's not been so bad, and I'm getting ready to head home soon.

A friend of mine who commutes from Sonoma to Oakland is stranded and will stay with me over tonight - all routes north are closed and would be too dangerous or crazy to try. As far as I know there is still power at my house.

Whew!
