Wieder zurueck in San Francisco haben wir uns dann erst mal schlafen gelegt, und wurden dann von Birte aus Deutschland darauf aufmerksam gemacht, das halb San Francisco keinen Strom hat und die Bruecken gesperrt sind. Ganz so schlimm war es dann nicht, aber die Narben des Sturms waren unuebersehbar.
Ein Glueck hatte ich unser Auto erst nach dem Sturm unter den Baum geparkt...
Die wichtigsten Fakten hat auch unser Lokalblatt, der "Chronicle" zusammengefasst:
The birds sing more in heavy storm, she said, since wet weather tells them spring is coming and "they are getting ready to find mates."
In Alamo, winds toppled a redwood tree onto a home on Corwin Drive, knocking a hole in the roof and enabling resident Joann Cunningham to discover that she can run faster than she thought.
Hiro Nori, a financial analyst from New York, flew in to Sacramento and drove to Sugar Bowl specifically because of the storm. He got into a car at 6 a.m. Saturday and hit a road closure at Applegate on Interstate 80, and waited at a nearby Denny's until the road reopened. He said he was the first one through and was on the slopes Saturday and planned to continue skiing until Monday morning.
"I was born and raised in Tiburon and I've never seen Richardson Bay rougher," Lynch said. "It's a miracle. Twenty-seven years in the business, and this is a good rescue."
All in all, it was a day unlike any other for people around the Bay Area.
und das allerschlimmste:
The rain isn't going away any time soon, forecasters said.
