It was a stormy morning in San
Rafael. In fact, I was surprised to see anyone here. Squalls
of driving rain were periodically passing over, but the wind
was the worst of it. Last night, they were expecting gusts up
to 100 m.p.h. along the coast, just over the hills to the west
from San Rafael, when a tightly wound low pressure system made
landfall.

The eye of the storm came
ashore about 4 a.m., from what I could tell from the
shriek of the wind outside my room in San Francisco last
night.
More than a dozen hardy vendors bright and early this
morning anyway, fighting to keep their canopies from
blowing away in the gusts. Several dozen shoppers were
here, loading up on produce in the driving rain.. |
I haven't been to this market in nearly five years. Here's my
report from June 2003.
