Downpour

Torrential rain in San Francisco this morning, and around the Bay Area. Radio reports are full of flooding, rockslides on 101, "downed trees," flipped SUVs, and even manhole covers blowing off storm sewers. I saw it myself on Monterey Blvd. coming in to work: water pouring out of storm sewers and through holes in manhole covers, creating little spouts. The covers weren't blowing off yet, but I didn't stick around to find out. (That Chronicle link contains four pictures which very closely follow my route to work this morning.)
