Good discussion on the Fifth and Mission podcast about why SF’s sewer system can’t handle heavy rain and causes flooding during big storms (and still hasn’t been upgraded): https://overcast.fm/+RW2Eia3TU

More than 20 inches of rain in SF since October, per @nwsbayarea_bot ! #sfstorm #cawx #rain

It’s almost like we’ve had a mild earthquake, now I have family from outside California reaching out because they saw the scary headlines on TV. Yes, we’re fine, San Francisco is fine, we’re pretty hilly and surrounded by ocean. We get a bit of localized flooding but it’s because of poor drainage, not overflowing rivers. Worst problem is getting bored with all this rain! #sfstorm #cawx ⛈️☔️

I need people to start sharing some photos of full reservoirs or something. I need to feel like all this rain is worth it! #sfstorm
Most years I wonder why I even have a rain jacket and rain boots…but about every five years, I remember why. #SFStorm #NonStopRain
David spoke to the Mission’s unhoused residents who weathered the intense rain and hail today, the “worst they can recall in years — if not decades — of living in the city.”
Some were thankful for San Francisco’s Homeless Outreach Team as their help has been a lifeline, while many echoed the wish for city employees to check in on them more often for shelter opportunities.
