Bay Area Back in the News

Remember just last week when Sutro Tower was sad and blue? No one was paying any attention to the Bay Area because of Southern Cali and their attention-seeking wildfires.

Thanks to a 5.6 earthquake and tonight's "Will there be a Halloween in the Castro or not?" question plaguing the minds of locals and bridge and tunnelers alike, San Francisco is back on top!

Even KRON, whose top story was still the wildfires as of yesterday, finally conceded and put Bay Area news back at the top of the page last night (even if they did mix up their news links; not that we could ever be accused of such absentmindedness on our end). SFGate, KTVU, and CBS5 were a little quicker to shift focus from the wildfires back to the Bay Area.

Let's hope the local focus stays local. And for those of you who live at the base of Sutro Tower, were you, like, totally freaked out last night after the quake? Do tell. Mariconsoy would probably like to know.
