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.

San Francisco asks state to investigate PG&E after 40 outages

On a gray evening in the Richmond District, the lights failed without warning, and the block settled into a familiar hush. Refrigerators clicked off. A streetcar sat dark at the corner. In apartments above the shops, people reached for phone flashlights the way earlier generations reached for matches. City officials now want a formal answer to why this keeps happening. Their request, built around the record of PG&E outages SF, asks state regulators to examine at least 40 large unplanned outages since January 2026 and to decide whether the utility has met the standard the public is entitled to expect.
