Photos: OMGStormWatch2K9 Part II -- The Flooding

Even more rain blanketed the city today, flooding streets. From the Mission to Hayes Valley, the streets are soaked. Please drive carefully.

Check out a radar's view of the rain here.

UPDATE: The Comcast Sports studios on Third street, located a block away from SFist HQ, is flooded. Let us know if you need help sandbagging, fellas!

ANOTHER UPDATE!:
Muni is flooded downtown and being evacuated at Embarcadero and other stops.

I received a message from a coworker saying that MUNI was shut down, so I moseyed over to sfgate.com to see what was up. Perhaps I just missed the article, but as of 4:30 pm I didn't see anything about the shutdown on sfgate. SFist once again scoops the gate!

I vote for the geyser photo as pic-of-the-day.
When I got home and opened my garage door, tons of water was pouring from the ceiling, which is odd because my apartment is immediately above it. The water, in this case a deluge, is seeping into the ceiling from the space between the house next door and my building.
I'm debating about reporting it to my do-nothing landlord; the rich ones who look and behave like they're homeless. Any time that I report something to them, they turn it either into a huge do-it-themselves project or try to patch things with duct tape and incessant humming while they make a muck of things.

Sfist needs one of those things where you can go to the next picture in a gallery without having to reload the whole page.

I go away for one weekend and look what happens. . .

That why San Francisco, in its Lilliputian wisdom decided to demolish a building that was the pantheon of graffiti, the Washington Packing Company, instead of simply taking the two lots that adjoin it; one of them a sketchy fender-bender fixer shop and next to that, a junkyard - both of them with frontage on Islais Creek.
That's where they plan to build an additional storm water plant.
