Major Storm Hits San Francisco, Bringing Heavy Rain and Flooding
San Francisco, CA – A powerful storm swept through the Bay Area today, bringing torrential rain, high winds, and widespread flooding. Streets in low-lying neighborhoods like SoMa and the Mission were submerged, prompting emergency crews to issue evacuation orders for some areas.
“This is one of the strongest storms we’ve seen in recent years,” said Emergency Services Director Alex Chen. BART and Muni faced significant delays due to waterlogged tracks, while several schools and businesses closed early.
Residents are urged to stay indoors and avoid driving through flooded streets. The storm is expected to ease by tomorrow, but cleanup efforts may take weeks. Officials have promised support for affected families and businesses.
