We are already seeing reports of damage across the Bay Area after the first wave of the dangerous Level 5 storm moved through the region. Here's the latest:
In Richmond, 15 homes in the area of Seacliff and Brickyard Cove are being evacuated as a precaution due a hillside looking like it may give way.San Ramon police wrote on Twitter Wednesday morning that Crow Canyon Road is closed in both directions west of city limits toward Castro Valley due to a threat of landslides.Police said the road was closed by the Alameda County Public Works Agency due to debris and unsafe road conditions.
Downtown San Francisco stations are most likely to face entrance closures, as there have been issues with flooding in the past, though staff and equipment are at the ready, BART spokeswoman Alicia Trost said. BART crews will utilize equipment like sandbags, pumps, special vacuum trucks, tarps and Zamboni machines in case of a flood, Trost said. Crews have already checked sump pumps and cleared storm drains.
BART will also be running trains at slower speeds during the storm, and riders should expect delays of up to 20 minutes.
