Bay Area flood advisories extended as water levels shatter records

On a gray Saturday morning in Sausalito, a man in rubber boots stood at the edge of a parking lot and watched the bay refuse to give the pavement back. The water had peaked overnight, then stalled, leaving a thin sheet across curbs that usually stay dry even in winter storms. Similar scenes played out from the Embarcadero to shoreline parks in the East Bay, where puddles behaved less like leftovers from a storm and more like a tide that had forgotten its schedule. Officials responded by keeping Bay Area flood advisories in place through the weekend, a decision that surprised people who had expected the danger to ebb with the morning light. The extension was not a new emergency so much as an admission that retreat can be slower than arrival, and that a record does not end when the crest passes.

Fatal hit-and-run: Witness, QR code helped police find driver

New court records reveal how a witness and a QR code helped police track down a suspected drunken driver after a fatal hit-and-run crash in Berkeley this week.

Messina, a 66-year-old Oakland resident, faces charges of vehicular manslaughter while intoxicated and felony hit-and-run resulting in death, according to court records filed Thursday. Berkeley police say a witness encountered Messina driving a gray Kia Soul near Russell Street and Pine Avenue just before the fatal crash.
