Free 'Sandbag Saturdays' kick off in San Francisco ahead of predicted El Niño storms

While sunshine and clear skies filled San Francisco on Saturday, many residents were already preparing for winter storm season. Hundreds lined up at Marina Green for free sandbags as city leaders launched "Sandbag Saturdays," a flood-preparedness campaign aimed at helping residents and business owners get ready for potential El Niño storms. Public Works Director Carla Short said now is the ideal time to plan ahead. "With the weather this beautiful, you don't have to drive through when the weather is not so beautiful," Short said. In social media posts, Mayor Daniel Lurie said, "El Nino is upon us." He encouraged residents to take advantage of the program, noting that recent king tides are a reminder of the flooding risks that could increase once winter storms arrive.

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.
