Among her favorite stories: an interview with George Lucas at Skywalker Ranch that broke the story about his plan to build a cultural museum, and a pirate Trader Joe's operation in Vancouver that prompted the grocery chain to sue -- and lose. She joined KQED in 2013 and was previously a reporter and editor at the San Francisco Chronicle, the Hearst-owned San Francisco Examiner and the Hayward Daily Review.",

Here's a key passage from the\u003ca href=\"http://www.wrh.noaa.gov/total_forecast/getprod.php?prod=XXXAFDMTR&wfo=MTR\"> NWS Bay Area forecast discussion\u003c/a> tonight (with Teletype-style all caps retained for emphasis):\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>MODERATE TO HEAVY RAIN CONTINUES TO FALL ACROSS THE REGION WITH RAINFALL RATES ANYWHERE FROM A TENTH TO A HALF INCH PER HOUR. HEAVIER HIT AREAS IN THE SANTA CRUZ MOUNTAINS AND THE SANTA LUCIA RANGE SAW RAINFALL RATES FROM 1 TO NEARLY 3 INCHES PER HOUR EARLIER TODAY. FLORES CAMP LOCATED IN THE SANTA LUCIA MOUNTAINS REPORTED 2.84 INCHES IN ONE HOUR FOLLOWED BY ANOTHER 1.56 INCHES THE NEXT HOUR. THIS PROMPTED A FLASH FLOOD WARNING NEAR BIG SUR THIS AFTERNOON. CONTINUED MODERATE TO HEAVY RAIN PROMPTED THE ISSUANCE OF NUMEROUS FLASH FLOOD WARNINGS AND URBAN AND SMALL STREAM FLOOD ADVISORIES THROUGH THE EVENING HOURS.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=\"O9XCYmElkulu3ulnAMRJRPtnmea3b3Mk\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Did you catch that? One spot in the Santa Lucias -- the mountain range rising high above the Big Sur coast -- had 2.84 inches in one hour and 1.56 inches the next. Arithmetic: 4.40 inches in two hours.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For comparison, San Francisco has recorded 3.21 inches of rain for the day through 10 p.m. If I'm reading the weather records right, that makes it one of the five rainiest December days in the city's weather history going back to 1849. And down there in the Santa Lucias, almost that much fell in just 60 minutes. It's a little challenging to imagine the intensity, or the result in terms of runoff.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Update, 5 p.m.:\u003c/strong> Today's storm has turned out to be everything weather forecasters and their computer models predicted, and more. The storm has brought widespread flooding to the Bay Area and blacked out more than 150,000 PG&E customers. And the weather system is showing some reluctance to move on, having stalled over the Central California coast, meaning moderate to heavy rain is continuing in much of the region.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The deluge has caused hundreds of incidents of street and highway flooding from Sonoma County down to Santa Cruz County.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One of the worst-hit locations was Healdsburg, on the Russian River about 65 miles north of San Francisco. Although the river has not exceeded flood stage, a downpour that began before dawn and lasted most of the morning led to street flooding in downtown and some other low-lying areas.

Spokesman Kelly Huston said early Thursday that the agency is ready to handle even the most dangerous rescues.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"What we have been doing is planning on moving our resources for swift-water rescue teams into areas in which we think we'll have problems with flash-flooding,\" Huston said. \"And those teams are specially prepared to basically respond immediately to anybody who gets caught in these creeks and we need to pull them out of it.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As to the power situation, PG&E has not released its overall estimate of Bay Area outages since late Thursday morning, when the utility reported about 150,000 homes and businesses had been without power. The biggest number of outages was in San Francisco, where about 100,000 customers lost electricity as the heart of the storm hit the city.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For a historical comparison, the big storm of January 2008 knocked out power to about 2 million customers. Another big storm in October 2010 put out the lights in about 1.2 million homes and businesses.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Update, 11:15 a.m.:\u003c/strong> National Weather Service flash-flood warnings still cover much of the region from Sonoma County down to Santa Cruz County, virtually all of the Bay Area: Sonoma, Napa, Marin, Contra Costa, Alameda, Santa Clara, Santa Cruz and Monterey counties.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The timing for the warnings:\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>North Bay counties: through 12:15 p.m.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Alameda and Contra Costa counties: through 12:15 p.m.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Santa Clara, Santa Cruz and Monterey counties: through 1:45 p.m..\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>San Francisco and northern San Mateo County: 9:30 a.m. (now expired)\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>It's possible the warnings will be extended.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Flooding has been reported throughout the region, but the North Bay appears to have been the hardest hit so far, with parts of downtown Healdsburg inundated.

The biggest and most disruptive outage is in San Francisco, where nearly 40,000 customers in a wide area from the Marina to the Financial District lost power about 7:20 a.m. About 50,000 other homes and businesses have been in the dark in scattered areas throughout the city.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The outage prompted BART and Muni to close their stations at Montgomery Street. BART has also closed the San Bruno station because of flooding.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Update, 7:40 a.m.:\u003c/strong> A major power outage is affecting large sections of San Francisco, from the Marina into parts of the Financial District. That's prompted the closure of both the BART and Muni stations at Montgomery Street.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Update, 7:20 a.m.:\u003c/strong> Extremely heavy rain is falling over southern Marin County and San Francisco, and \u003ca href=\"http://radar.weather.gov/radar.php?rid=mux&product=N0R&overlay=11101111&loop=no\" target=\"_blank\">weather radar is showing\u003c/a> a swath of even more intense precipitation moving in from outside the Golden Gate. That's prompted the National Weather Service to issue \u003ca href=\"http://www.wrh.noaa.gov/total_forecast/getprod.php?wfo=mtr&pil=FFW&sid=mtr&version=0\">a flash flood warning\u003c/a> for Marin and southern Sonoma County.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The warning includes San Rafael, Novato, Petaluma and Rohnert Park and will be in place until 10:15 a.m.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Update, 6:50 a.m. Thursday:\u003c/strong> It's here.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So far, the storm has dumped more than 5 inches of rain in the hills of western Sonoma County through 6 a.m. Santa Rosa has gotten 2.79 inches. Just to the south, Petaluma has recorded 1.93 inches and Novato 2.05 inches. In the Napa Valley, where the Napa River is expected to crest near flood stage, St. Helena has gotten 3.15 inches. The rain totals are dramatically lower in the central Bay Area, with most totals a quarter of an inch or lower. But, as forecast, the heaviest rain has only just arrived over San Francisco and the East Bay.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As the deluge moves south, winds gusting over 70 mph have knocked down trees and power lines. \u003ca href=\"http://www.pge.com/myhome/outages/outage/\" target=\"_blank\">PG&E is reporting \u003c/a>scattered blackouts in the North Bay, East Bay and Silicon Valley -- with a total of about 20,000 customers affected before dawn.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The transportation impacts: 174 flights have been canceled at San Francisco International Airport this morning, about evenly split between arriving and departing flights. Morning ferry service from Oakland, Alameda and Vallejo to San Francisco has been suspended. High-wind warnings are in place for Bay Area bridges. On the plus side, the traffic volume on the Bay Bridge appears much lower than usual for the morning rush hour.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Update, 9:25 p.m.: \u003c/strong>Our much-anticipated storm continues to move in over the California coast. Parts of Northern California, including the watersheds that feed into the state's massive reservoirs on the upper Sacramento, Feather and Trinity rivers, are already getting heavy rain.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the Bay Area, parts of Marin, Sonoma and Napa counties have also recorded significant rainfall. Novato, in northern Marin, has seen .79 inches, and Point Reyes Station, in west Marin, has gotten .71 inches since early afternoon. Mount Veeder, on the west side of the Napa Valley, has gotten .87 of an inch; Angwin, on Howell Mountain on the valley's east side, has gotten .88. Farther north, Venado -- a site in the Sonoma County hills west of Healdsburg -- has gotten 1.20.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Further south, we've seen only a spattering of rain so far.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Remember, forecasters say this evening's rain is just a precursor to a prolonged period of high winds and heavy rain beginning later tonight. A \u003ca href=\"http://forecast.weather.gov/wwamap/wwatxtget.php?cwa=mtr&wwa=high%20wind%20warning\" target=\"_blank\">high wind warning\u003c/a> takes effect at 10 p.m. for virtually all of Northern California. Winds have been picking up this evening, with 30 mph gusts already recorded on Mount Tamalpais and at Las Trampas Ridge in Contra Costa County. The forecast calls for sustained winds of up to 35 mph at lower elevations with gusts over 50 mph. Elevations above 1,500 feet could see sustained winds of 50 mph with gusts over 80 mph.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A period of extremely heavy rain is forecast to start around 4 a.m. in the North Bay and move south through the region, reaching the South Bay early in the afternoon. With 2 to 4 inches of rain expected in lowland locations and up to 8 inches in the mountains north and south of the bay, the NWS has also issued \u003ca href=\"http://forecast.weather.gov/wwamap/wwatxtget.php?cwa=mtr&wwa=flash%20flood%20watch\" target=\"_blank\">a flash flood watch \u003c/a>covering the entire region.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It goes without saying, almost, that the storm will affect travel throughout the Bay Area. With the strongest part of the storm still to come Wednesday night, some flights arriving at San Francisco International Airport are already experiencing delays of more than two hours. If the heart of the storm arrives as forecast early Thursday, the morning commute will be seriously disrupted.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Responding to the dire-sounding forecast, schools in San Francisco, Oakland, Berkeley and Alameda will be closed Thursday, as well as several districts in the North Bay. San Francisco State University and City College of San Francisco will also be closed for the day. (See NBC Bay Area's \u003ca href=\"http://www.nbcbayarea.com/news/local/Bay-Area-School-Closings-285399581.html?_osource=SocialFlowTwt_BAYBrand\" target=\"_blank\">comprehensive list of closures\u003c/a>).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Update, 3 p.m.:\u003c/strong> We're going to have to check on the last time this happened: Public schools in San Francisco, Oakland and virtually all of Marin County have canceled classes Thursday because of the approaching storm.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The closures were announced Wednesday afternoon as heavy rain arrived over the lower Russian River watershed in Sonoma County.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Yeah, it's pouring,\" a Sonoma County Sheriff's Office spokeswoman in Guerneville said at 3 p.m. \"It's been going for about 45 minutes.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Forecasters say the heart of the windy, wet weather system is on track to roar into the North Bay Wednesday night and roll south through the Bay Area Thursday morning.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Acknowledging the disruption that school closures will cause for thousands of families, both Oakland and San Francisco officials said their primary concern was student and staff safety:\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>San Francisco:\u003c/strong> \"Closing schools is a serious decision,\" said SFUSD Superintendent Richard A. Carranza. \"I did not arrive at this lightly. First and foremost, we don't want to risk having our students injured or seriously delayed transporting to and from school. In addition to student absences, the storm could result in large numbers of staff absences, which could then lead to inadequate supervision of our students. Furthermore, power outages could affect the district's ability to feed students school meals, among many other operational challenges.\"\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>Oakland:\u003c/strong> \"What the National Weather Service refers to as a 'powerful Pacific storm' is expected to bring torrential rains, damaging winds and flash floods, peaking during the morning commute hours on Thursday. Approximately 5 inches of rain are expected from Wednesday evening through Thursday with gusts reaching up to 39 mph. Since this poses a significant safety risk for our students and staff, we’re canceling school as a precaution for Thursday. Other districts, like the neighboring San Francisco Unified School District (SFUSD) and all Marin County public schools, have also taken the step.\"\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Original post:\u003c/strong> In less than two weeks, much of California has gone from anxiety over drought to worry about the possibility of widespread flooding. How did that happen?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Well, the rain that arrived at the end of November and concluded with heavy rain last Wednesday is the first part of the answer. While those storms didn't break the drought -- we'll need to keep saying that for a while -- they did bring enough precipitation to soak soils throughout much of the region. That means more water will run off when the next major weather system arrives, and flooding could result.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And now, that major storm is on our doorstep. The National Weather Service says the system, driven by fierce jet stream winds and funneling moisture from the subtropical Pacific, will batter virtually all of Northern California with prolonged heavy rains and high winds. An exception to that statement: the Sierra Nevada above 6,000 feet elevation, where precipitation will be in the form of snow. Forecasters have posted \u003ca href=\"http://forecast.weather.gov/wwamap/wwatxtget.php?cwa=eka&wwa=blizzard%20warning\" target=\"_blank\">blizzard warnings\u003c/a> for the west slope of the mountains from Yosemite up to Mount Lassen.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The weather service has issued a full bouquet of other advisories, watches and warnings connected to the storm, including a \u003ca href=\"http://forecast.weather.gov/wwamap/wwatxtget.php?cwa=mtr&wwa=flash%20flood%20watch\" target=\"_blank\">flash flood watch\u003c/a>, a \u003ca href=\"http://forecast.weather.gov/wwamap/wwatxtget.php?cwa=mtr&wwa=high%20wind%20warning\" target=\"_blank\">high wind warning\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"http://forecast.weather.gov/wwamap/wwatxtget.php?cwa=mtr&wwa=high%20surf%20advisory\" target=\"_blank\">a high surf advisory\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A chance of rain is forecast later today in much of Marin and Sonoma counties, around San Francisco and Oakland by 10 p.m., and early Thursday morning in San Jose. The main body of the storm is predicted to move through the region from early Thursday through late Thursday night. Periods of very heavy rain are forecast as a cold front moves through the Bay Area -- across the North Bay before dawn, the central Bay Area during the morning rush hour, and the South Bay during the early afternoon. Rainfall totals are expected to be in the 1.5- to 3.5-inch range in Bay Area cities and from 4 to 8 inches in mountains north and south of San Francisco Bay.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Areas throughout Northern California will see enough rain that rivers and streams will rise to flood stage around midday Thursday. The \u003ca href=\"http://www.cnrfc.noaa.gov/\" target=\"_blank\">California-Nevada River Forecast Center\u003c/a> says the Napa River will top flood stage at St. Helena and crest less than a foot below flood stage in downtown Napa. The Russian River is forecast to flood in Hopland, in southern Mendocino County, and in Sonoma County communities, including Guerneville. The rivers are predicted to rise and recede rapidly, dropping back below flood stage during the day on Friday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But wait -- we haven't told you about the wind.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The NWS says the highest likelihood of damaging winds will arrive as a cold front passes through the North Bay before dawn Thursday, into the central Bay Area by 7 a.m., and south along the coast and into the Santa Cruz Mountains by early afternoon. Forecasters say urban locations could see gusts of 40 to 55 mph. Gusts could hit 60 mph along the coast and 80 mph on ridges above 1,000 feet in elevation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Forecasters are comparing the potential impact of the imminent heavy weather to two relatively recent storms: one that struck Jan. 4, 2008, and another that hit Oct. 13, 2009.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meteorologist Jan Null \u003ca href=\"http://ggweather.com/basi.htm\" target=\"_blank\">rates both those storms\u003c/a> among the strongest to hit the Bay Area since the 1950s.

Here's a key passage from the\u003ca href=\"http://www.wrh.noaa.gov/total_forecast/getprod.php?prod=XXXAFDMTR&wfo=MTR\"> NWS Bay Area forecast discussion\u003c/a> tonight (with Teletype-style all caps retained for emphasis):\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>MODERATE TO HEAVY RAIN CONTINUES TO FALL ACROSS THE REGION WITH RAINFALL RATES ANYWHERE FROM A TENTH TO A HALF INCH PER HOUR. HEAVIER HIT AREAS IN THE SANTA CRUZ MOUNTAINS AND THE SANTA LUCIA RANGE SAW RAINFALL RATES FROM 1 TO NEARLY 3 INCHES PER HOUR EARLIER TODAY. FLORES CAMP LOCATED IN THE SANTA LUCIA MOUNTAINS REPORTED 2.84 INCHES IN ONE HOUR FOLLOWED BY ANOTHER 1.56 INCHES THE NEXT HOUR. THIS PROMPTED A FLASH FLOOD WARNING NEAR BIG SUR THIS AFTERNOON. CONTINUED MODERATE TO HEAVY RAIN PROMPTED THE ISSUANCE OF NUMEROUS FLASH FLOOD WARNINGS AND URBAN AND SMALL STREAM FLOOD ADVISORIES THROUGH THE EVENING HOURS.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Did you catch that? One spot in the Santa Lucias -- the mountain range rising high above the Big Sur coast -- had 2.84 inches in one hour and 1.56 inches the next. Arithmetic: 4.40 inches in two hours.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For comparison, San Francisco has recorded 3.21 inches of rain for the day through 10 p.m. If I'm reading the weather records right, that makes it one of the five rainiest December days in the city's weather history going back to 1849. And down there in the Santa Lucias, almost that much fell in just 60 minutes. It's a little challenging to imagine the intensity, or the result in terms of runoff.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Update, 5 p.m.:\u003c/strong> Today's storm has turned out to be everything weather forecasters and their computer models predicted, and more. The storm has brought widespread flooding to the Bay Area and blacked out more than 150,000 PG&E customers. And the weather system is showing some reluctance to move on, having stalled over the Central California coast, meaning moderate to heavy rain is continuing in much of the region.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Just to the south, Petaluma has recorded 1.93 inches and Novato 2.05 inches. In the Napa Valley, where the Napa River is expected to crest near flood stage, St. Helena has gotten 3.15 inches. The rain totals are dramatically lower in the central Bay Area, with most totals a quarter of an inch or lower. But, as forecast, the heaviest rain has only just arrived over San Francisco and the East Bay.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As the deluge moves south, winds gusting over 70 mph have knocked down trees and power lines. \u003ca href=\"http://www.pge.com/myhome/outages/outage/\" target=\"_blank\">PG&E is reporting \u003c/a>scattered blackouts in the North Bay, East Bay and Silicon Valley -- with a total of about 20,000 customers affected before dawn.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The transportation impacts: 174 flights have been canceled at San Francisco International Airport this morning, about evenly split between arriving and departing flights. Morning ferry service from Oakland, Alameda and Vallejo to San Francisco has been suspended. High-wind warnings are in place for Bay Area bridges. On the plus side, the traffic volume on the Bay Bridge appears much lower than usual for the morning rush hour.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Update, 9:25 p.m.: \u003c/strong>Our much-anticipated storm continues to move in over the California coast. Parts of Northern California, including the watersheds that feed into the state's massive reservoirs on the upper Sacramento, Feather and Trinity rivers, are already getting heavy rain.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the Bay Area, parts of Marin, Sonoma and Napa counties have also recorded significant rainfall. Novato, in northern Marin, has seen .79 inches, and Point Reyes Station, in west Marin, has gotten .71 inches since early afternoon. Mount Veeder, on the west side of the Napa Valley, has gotten .87 of an inch; Angwin, on Howell Mountain on the valley's east side, has gotten .88. Farther north, Venado -- a site in the Sonoma County hills west of Healdsburg -- has gotten 1.20.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Further south, we've seen only a spattering of rain so far.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Remember, forecasters say this evening's rain is just a precursor to a prolonged period of high winds and heavy rain beginning later tonight. A \u003ca href=\"http://forecast.weather.gov/wwamap/wwatxtget.php?cwa=mtr&wwa=high%20wind%20warning\" target=\"_blank\">high wind warning\u003c/a> takes effect at 10 p.m. for virtually all of Northern California. Winds have been picking up this evening, with 30 mph gusts already recorded on Mount Tamalpais and at Las Trampas Ridge in Contra Costa County. The forecast calls for sustained winds of up to 35 mph at lower elevations with gusts over 50 mph. Elevations above 1,500 feet could see sustained winds of 50 mph with gusts over 80 mph.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A period of extremely heavy rain is forecast to start around 4 a.m. in the North Bay and move south through the region, reaching the South Bay early in the afternoon. With 2 to 4 inches of rain expected in lowland locations and up to 8 inches in the mountains north and south of the bay, the NWS has also issued \u003ca href=\"http://forecast.weather.gov/wwamap/wwatxtget.php?cwa=mtr&wwa=flash%20flood%20watch\" target=\"_blank\">a flash flood watch \u003c/a>covering the entire region.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It goes without saying, almost, that the storm will affect travel throughout the Bay Area. With the strongest part of the storm still to come Wednesday night, some flights arriving at San Francisco International Airport are already experiencing delays of more than two hours. If the heart of the storm arrives as forecast early Thursday, the morning commute will be seriously disrupted.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Responding to the dire-sounding forecast, schools in San Francisco, Oakland, Berkeley and Alameda will be closed Thursday, as well as several districts in the North Bay. San Francisco State University and City College of San Francisco will also be closed for the day. (See NBC Bay Area's \u003ca href=\"http://www.nbcbayarea.com/news/local/Bay-Area-School-Closings-285399581.html?_osource=SocialFlowTwt_BAYBrand\" target=\"_blank\">comprehensive list of closures\u003c/a>).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Update, 3 p.m.:\u003c/strong> We're going to have to check on the last time this happened: Public schools in San Francisco, Oakland and virtually all of Marin County have canceled classes Thursday because of the approaching storm.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The closures were announced Wednesday afternoon as heavy rain arrived over the lower Russian River watershed in Sonoma County.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Yeah, it's pouring,\" a Sonoma County Sheriff's Office spokeswoman in Guerneville said at 3 p.m. \"It's been going for about 45 minutes.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Forecasters say the heart of the windy, wet weather system is on track to roar into the North Bay Wednesday night and roll south through the Bay Area Thursday morning.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Acknowledging the disruption that school closures will cause for thousands of families, both Oakland and San Francisco officials said their primary concern was student and staff safety:\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>San Francisco:\u003c/strong> \"Closing schools is a serious decision,\" said SFUSD Superintendent Richard A. Carranza. \"I did not arrive at this lightly. First and foremost, we don't want to risk having our students injured or seriously delayed transporting to and from school. In addition to student absences, the storm could result in large numbers of staff absences, which could then lead to inadequate supervision of our students. Furthermore, power outages could affect the district's ability to feed students school meals, among many other operational challenges.\"\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>Oakland:\u003c/strong> \"What the National Weather Service refers to as a 'powerful Pacific storm' is expected to bring torrential rains, damaging winds and flash floods, peaking during the morning commute hours on Thursday. Approximately 5 inches of rain are expected from Wednesday evening through Thursday with gusts reaching up to 39 mph. Since this poses a significant safety risk for our students and staff, we’re canceling school as a precaution for Thursday. Other districts, like the neighboring San Francisco Unified School District (SFUSD) and all Marin County public schools, have also taken the step.\"\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Original post:\u003c/strong> In less than two weeks, much of California has gone from anxiety over drought to worry about the possibility of widespread flooding. How did that happen?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Well, the rain that arrived at the end of November and concluded with heavy rain last Wednesday is the first part of the answer. While those storms didn't break the drought -- we'll need to keep saying that for a while -- they did bring enough precipitation to soak soils throughout much of the region. That means more water will run off when the next major weather system arrives, and flooding could result.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And now, that major storm is on our doorstep. The National Weather Service says the system, driven by fierce jet stream winds and funneling moisture from the subtropical Pacific, will batter virtually all of Northern California with prolonged heavy rains and high winds. An exception to that statement: the Sierra Nevada above 6,000 feet elevation, where precipitation will be in the form of snow. Forecasters have posted \u003ca href=\"http://forecast.weather.gov/wwamap/wwatxtget.php?cwa=eka&wwa=blizzard%20warning\" target=\"_blank\">blizzard warnings\u003c/a> for the west slope of the mountains from Yosemite up to Mount Lassen.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The weather service has issued a full bouquet of other advisories, watches and warnings connected to the storm, including a \u003ca href=\"http://forecast.weather.gov/wwamap/wwatxtget.php?cwa=mtr&wwa=flash%20flood%20watch\" target=\"_blank\">flash flood watch\u003c/a>, a \u003ca href=\"http://forecast.weather.gov/wwamap/wwatxtget.php?cwa=mtr&wwa=high%20wind%20warning\" target=\"_blank\">high wind warning\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"http://forecast.weather.gov/wwamap/wwatxtget.php?cwa=mtr&wwa=high%20surf%20advisory\" target=\"_blank\">a high surf advisory\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A chance of rain is forecast later today in much of Marin and Sonoma counties, around San Francisco and Oakland by 10 p.m., and early Thursday morning in San Jose. The main body of the storm is predicted to move through the region from early Thursday through late Thursday night. Periods of very heavy rain are forecast as a cold front moves through the Bay Area -- across the North Bay before dawn, the central Bay Area during the morning rush hour, and the South Bay during the early afternoon. Rainfall totals are expected to be in the 1.5- to 3.5-inch range in Bay Area cities and from 4 to 8 inches in mountains north and south of San Francisco Bay.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Areas throughout Northern California will see enough rain that rivers and streams will rise to flood stage around midday Thursday. The \u003ca href=\"http://www.cnrfc.noaa.gov/\" target=\"_blank\">California-Nevada River Forecast Center\u003c/a> says the Napa River will top flood stage at St. Helena and crest less than a foot below flood stage in downtown Napa. The Russian River is forecast to flood in Hopland, in southern Mendocino County, and in Sonoma County communities, including Guerneville. The rivers are predicted to rise and recede rapidly, dropping back below flood stage during the day on Friday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But wait -- we haven't told you about the wind.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The NWS says the highest likelihood of damaging winds will arrive as a cold front passes through the North Bay before dawn Thursday, into the central Bay Area by 7 a.m., and south along the coast and into the Santa Cruz Mountains by early afternoon. Forecasters say urban locations could see gusts of 40 to 55 mph. Gusts could hit 60 mph along the coast and 80 mph on ridges above 1,000 feet in elevation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Forecasters are comparing the potential impact of the imminent heavy weather to two relatively recent storms: one that struck Jan. 4, 2008, and another that hit Oct. 13, 2009.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meteorologist Jan Null \u003ca href=\"http://ggweather.com/basi.htm\" target=\"_blank\">rates both those storms\u003c/a> among the strongest to hit the Bay Area since the 1950s.

A department report produced for Tuesday's City Council meeting estimates that with current attrition and hiring, the number of sworn staff will drop from the current 1,010 down to 988 by July, which would mark the first time since 1985 that the force steadily fielded fewer than 1,000 officers. That same model projects a sworn staff of 949 by July 2017. \u003ca href=\"http://www.mercurynews.com/crime-courts/ci_26956121/san-jose-report-says-sjpd-ranks-could-fall\" target=\"_blank\">Full story\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003ca href=\"http://bigstory.ap.org/article/21b7a5db4a0a435eb17850be6883e5a8/ntsb-govt-aircraft-regulations-apply-drones\" target=\"_blank\">NTSB: Government aircraft regulations apply to drones -- even tiny ones\u003c/a> (Associated Press):\u003cbr>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>The government has the power to hold drone operators accountable when they operate the remote-control aircraft recklessly, a federal safety board ruled Tuesday in a setback to small drone operators chafing under Federal Aviation Administration restrictions. The FAA had fined Raphael Pirker, an aerial photographer, $10,000 for operating his Ritewing Zephyr in a reckless manner on the University of Virginia campus in 2011. An administrative law judge with the National Transportation Safety Board, which hears appeals of Federal Aviation Administration enforcement actions, sided with Pirker earlier this year, saying the FAA hasn't issued any regulations specifically for drones and therefore can't determine their use. \u003ca href=\"http://bigstory.ap.org/article/21b7a5db4a0a435eb17850be6883e5a8/ntsb-govt-aircraft-regulations-apply-drones\" target=\"_blank\">Full story\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003ca href=\"http://www.wrh.noaa.gov/total_forecast/getprod.php?prod=XXXAFDMTR&wfo=MTR\" target=\"_blank\">Rain -- rain! -- on the way\u003c/a> (National Weather Service Area Forecast Discussion):\u003cbr>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>A series of Pacific storms systems are forecast to impact the region through late week, bringing periods of unsettled weather.

On the East Coast, the short-lived Hurricane Bertha — the second tempest of the Atlantic hurricane season — was downgraded to a tropical cyclone. It produced high surf and rip currents, leading to one drowning in Florida.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I asked Molly Solomon, a reporter with \u003ca href=\"http://www.hawaiipublicradio.org\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Hawaii Public Radio\u003c/a> who lives in Honolulu, what it’s like at the moment, as people scramble to get ready for a tropical doubleheader.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I feel pretty prepared and even braved the crowds at Longs yesterday to pick up an extra set of batteries and a flashlight,” Solomon said Wednesday. “I’m just hoping I won’t be stuck eating a can of Chef Boyardee for dinner come Thursday night.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Solomon said residents are being urged to prepare for heavy rains, winds of up to 65 mph and possible storm surges along the coastlines. To compound the situation, a 4.5-magnitude earthquake struck the Big Island on Thursday morning.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Several supermarkets and grocery stores are reporting that bottled water and canned goods have been flying off the shelves, even selling out at some locations, she said. School officials in Hawaii and Maui counties have canceled classes for Thursday, and hotels and resorts are stocking up and testing backup generators in case the power goes out.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some hotels and at least three airlines — Hawaiian, United and American — have announced they will waive cancellation or change fees for visitors whose travel plans are affected by the storms. The Islands have encountered only three hurricanes since 1950, with the deadly \u003ca href=\"http://www.accuweather.com/en/weather-news/hurricane-iniki-the-most-power/72515\">Iniki\u003c/a> being the last one in 1992.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Honolulu’s Department of Emergency Management is also reminding residents to secure outdoor furniture, Solomon said, and have their emergency disaster kits ready, which should include enough food and water to live on for seven days, as well as an LED flashlight with an extra set of batteries\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The \u003ca href=\"http://www.nhc.noaa.gov\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">National Hurricane Center\u003c/a> of the National Weather Service is a good way to follow what’s happening.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Wednesday, Hawaii Gov.

(Photo by Molly Solomon)\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>In Hawaii, hurricanes are a rare event. On the other side of the country, they’re part of summer and the U.S. Census Bureau keeps track of them. Its “Facts for Features” series on the \u003ca href=\"http://www.census.gov/newsroom/releases/archives/facts_for_features_special_editions/cb14-ff09.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">2014 North Atlantic hurricane season\u003c/a> — which runs June 1 through Nov. 30 — is an educational experience. The Eastern Pacific season, by the way, ends on the same date but opens May 15.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Census numbers indicate that 185 coastline counties along the Atlantic and Gulf of Mexico face the biggest threat of hurricanes. The coastal states stretching from North Carolina to Texas — totaling almost 600,000 square miles — are particularly vulnerable. About 83 million people lived there in 2013, just over 26 percent of the U.S. population.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hurricane names rotate every six years, except for those that are retired because of storms that were especially lethal or costly. So far, the World Meteorological Organization has \u003ca href=\"http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/aboutnames_history.shtml\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">retired 77 names,\u003c/a> including Hazel in 1954, Flora in 1963, Eloise in 1975, Andrew in 1992 and Paloma in 2008.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Five names from 2005 were retired — Dennis, Katrina, Rita, Stan and Wilma — which is a record and gives you some idea of what kind of year it was. The Census Bureau noted that 28 named storms formed that year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Last year, by contrast, only two hurricanes materialized during the Atlantic hurricane season.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s one thing to look at hurricane facts and figures. It’s another to hear about them from people who have spent most of their lives dealing with hurricanes. At KQED that person is morning newscaster Joshua Johnson, who grew up in West Palm Beach and has covered many hurricanes as a journalist.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>These are some of his hurricane memories:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>No one dies in a hurricane.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They die \u003cem>after\u003c/em> hurricanes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lives are lost in the chaotic aftermath: people falling as they repair roofs, driving into washed-out roadways, stepping into puddles with hidden, fallen power lines. Those idiots you see on the TV news frolicking in 80 mph winds? They do it because they feel impervious to the storm. And they are, but only because of sheer dumb luck.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I know better.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Not because I’m a South Florida native, although I am. But because I’ve covered enough hurricanes to know what they can do. Andrew is the one everyone thinks about, but that wiped out Homestead, an area well south of the most populated parts of the Miami metro region. That storm barely touched me, even though it did shift South Florida’s population base north in dramatic ways. I’ve covered enough hurricanes to last me a lifetime. Most notably, Charlie, Frances, Ivan, Jeanne, Dennis, Katrina, Rita, Wilma …\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>… and then, Alpha through Zeta. Yep, we learned what happens when the National Hurricane Center runs out of names — they use Greek letters. The 2005 Atlantic hurricane season set the record for the most named storms, most hurricanes and most major hurricanes (category 3 or higher). We were so sick of rain by the end of that season, California’s drought would’ve seemed like a gift from God.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Katrina was a major storm for South Florida as well as the Gulf Coast. Rita left quite a mess behind, too. And the damage it caused was extensive enough that we couldn’t finish cleaning up in time for Wilma. So Wilma blew the debris around and made life absolutely miserable. I think my power was out for a month or so. I don’t remember … I’d rather not remember … but I ate and slept and bathed for days at the Miami Herald, where I anchored news on WLRN Public Radio. Some of the staff got hotel rooms. I got to set up a reclining camping chair and blankets in Studio 1. Asleep at 11 p.m., up at 5 a.m., then dash into Studio 2 in my pajamas and keep anchoring.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At least I could play music to lull me to sleep. The studio speakers were awesome.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When a hurricane threatens, you settle into a “new normal.” It becomes normal to see people talking about nothing but the storm, or about how they wish people would talk about something other than the storm. It’s normal to see amazingly long lines at Home Depot before landfall, and even longer lines for free water and ice rations afterward. Is everyone on your block grilling outside because their appliances don’t work? Normal. Driving through your neighborhood at night super slowly with the high beams on because you’re scared of running over a fallen tree or a washed-out road? Normal, and wise.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The least normal thing came courtesy of MTV, which hosted its Video Music Awards in Miami in 2005. Much of the preshow hype had to be canceled because of Katrina, though the big show still went on. That was kind of fun to cover, though many of us wished MTV would just forget about the show and hunker down like everyone else.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, there were benefits to living in the days of the aftermath. For one thing, I got to know my neighbors in ways I never did when I had Netflix and Comcast and YouTube and electricity to keep me in my little bubble. Going out barhopping was \u003cem>awesome\u003c/em>, because after a while everyone got major cabin fever and was determined to have a good time. And when I looked up from my backyard in Fort Lauderdale, I didn’t see the streetlights and hear the noise of the neighborhood.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For the first time in a long time, all I saw were stars. Vast, silent stars.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It was a majestic, moving and somewhat eerie reminder of the power of nature, and of the beauty in its balance. Rain brings rainbows. Hurricanes swamp the land, but they also clear the sky. And sometimes, the only way to see clearly is to turn off all the lights.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\n",

On the East Coast, the short-lived Hurricane Bertha — the second tempest of the Atlantic hurricane season — was downgraded to a tropical cyclone. It produced high surf and rip currents, leading to one drowning in Florida.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I asked Molly Solomon, a reporter with \u003ca href=\"http://www.hawaiipublicradio.org\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Hawaii Public Radio\u003c/a> who lives in Honolulu, what it’s like at the moment, as people scramble to get ready for a tropical doubleheader.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I feel pretty prepared and even braved the crowds at Longs yesterday to pick up an extra set of batteries and a flashlight,” Solomon said Wednesday. “I’m just hoping I won’t be stuck eating a can of Chef Boyardee for dinner come Thursday night.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Solomon said residents are being urged to prepare for heavy rains, winds of up to 65 mph and possible storm surges along the coastlines. To compound the situation, a 4.5-magnitude earthquake struck the Big Island on Thursday morning.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

On the other side of the country, they’re part of summer and the U.S. Census Bureau keeps track of them. Its “Facts for Features” series on the \u003ca href=\"http://www.census.gov/newsroom/releases/archives/facts_for_features_special_editions/cb14-ff09.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">2014 North Atlantic hurricane season\u003c/a> — which runs June 1 through Nov. 30 — is an educational experience. The Eastern Pacific season, by the way, ends on the same date but opens May 15.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Census numbers indicate that 185 coastline counties along the Atlantic and Gulf of Mexico face the biggest threat of hurricanes. The coastal states stretching from North Carolina to Texas — totaling almost 600,000 square miles — are particularly vulnerable. About 83 million people lived there in 2013, just over 26 percent of the U.S. population.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hurricane names rotate every six years, except for those that are retired because of storms that were especially lethal or costly. So far, the World Meteorological Organization has \u003ca href=\"http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/aboutnames_history.shtml\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">retired 77 names,\u003c/a> including Hazel in 1954, Flora in 1963, Eloise in 1975, Andrew in 1992 and Paloma in 2008.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Five names from 2005 were retired — Dennis, Katrina, Rita, Stan and Wilma — which is a record and gives you some idea of what kind of year it was. The Census Bureau noted that 28 named storms formed that year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Last year, by contrast, only two hurricanes materialized during the Atlantic hurricane season.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s one thing to look at hurricane facts and figures. It’s another to hear about them from people who have spent most of their lives dealing with hurricanes. At KQED that person is morning newscaster Joshua Johnson, who grew up in West Palm Beach and has covered many hurricanes as a journalist.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Those idiots you see on the TV news frolicking in 80 mph winds? They do it because they feel impervious to the storm. And they are, but only because of sheer dumb luck.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I know better.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Not because I’m a South Florida native, although I am. But because I’ve covered enough hurricanes to know what they can do. Andrew is the one everyone thinks about, but that wiped out Homestead, an area well south of the most populated parts of the Miami metro region. That storm barely touched me, even though it did shift South Florida’s population base north in dramatic ways. I’ve covered enough hurricanes to last me a lifetime. Most notably, Charlie, Frances, Ivan, Jeanne, Dennis, Katrina, Rita, Wilma …\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>… and then, Alpha through Zeta. Yep, we learned what happens when the National Hurricane Center runs out of names — they use Greek letters. The 2005 Atlantic hurricane season set the record for the most named storms, most hurricanes and most major hurricanes (category 3 or higher). We were so sick of rain by the end of that season, California’s drought would’ve seemed like a gift from God.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Katrina was a major storm for South Florida as well as the Gulf Coast. Rita left quite a mess behind, too. And the damage it caused was extensive enough that we couldn’t finish cleaning up in time for Wilma. So Wilma blew the debris around and made life absolutely miserable. I think my power was out for a month or so. I don’t remember … I’d rather not remember … but I ate and slept and bathed for days at the Miami Herald, where I anchored news on WLRN Public Radio. Some of the staff got hotel rooms. I got to set up a reclining camping chair and blankets in Studio 1. Asleep at 11 p.m., up at 5 a.m., then dash into Studio 2 in my pajamas and keep anchoring.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At least I could play music to lull me to sleep. The studio speakers were awesome.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When a hurricane threatens, you settle into a “new normal.” It becomes normal to see people talking about nothing but the storm, or about how they wish people would talk about something other than the storm. It’s normal to see amazingly long lines at Home Depot before landfall, and even longer lines for free water and ice rations afterward. Is everyone on your block grilling outside because their appliances don’t work? Normal. Driving through your neighborhood at night super slowly with the high beams on because you’re scared of running over a fallen tree or a washed-out road? Normal, and wise.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The least normal thing came courtesy of MTV, which hosted its Video Music Awards in Miami in 2005. Much of the preshow hype had to be canceled because of Katrina, though the big show still went on. That was kind of fun to cover, though many of us wished MTV would just forget about the show and hunker down like everyone else.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, there were benefits to living in the days of the aftermath. For one thing, I got to know my neighbors in ways I never did when I had Netflix and Comcast and YouTube and electricity to keep me in my little bubble. Going out barhopping was \u003cem>awesome\u003c/em>, because after a while everyone got major cabin fever and was determined to have a good time. And when I looked up from my backyard in Fort Lauderdale, I didn’t see the streetlights and hear the noise of the neighborhood.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For the first time in a long time, all I saw were stars. Vast, silent stars.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It was a majestic, moving and somewhat eerie reminder of the power of nature, and of the beauty in its balance. Rain brings rainbows. Hurricanes swamp the land, but they also clear the sky. And sometimes, the only way to see clearly is to turn off all the lights.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

On Our Watch brings listeners into the rooms where officers are questioned and witnesses are interrogated to find out who this system is really protecting. Is it the officers, or the public they've sworn to serve?",
