It’s here — the “Pineapple Express” storm is hitting the Bay Area hard and fast. If you stayed home, hopefully you still have power. Maybe you weren’t that lucky and had to head into work, in which case, we really hope that you didn’t have to get off at the Montgomery or San Bruno station this morning. And remember, if you have to drive at all today — be safe and enjoy the free parking meters.
While we’re still drying off our socks and hoping not to lose power, here’s just a small amount of what the Bay Area looks today during this #hellastorm.

And this is why #SF officials are closing Embarcadero. High tide isn’t until 2PM at Golden Gate. @hollyquan photo pic.twitter.com/731aMfHWd5

Though there’s been some serious damage already, we definitely know how to poke fun at ourselves.
