Evidence of a wintry day...

Further proof that the Richmond is where it's at - unless, of course, you like dry bath towels - last night the good folks in the OR witnessed a reportedly "green" light show in the sky during the storm. (Here in SOMA at SFist HQ, we saw a few dangerous puddle formations. Terrifying.) In our comments section, which we implore you to use liberally, a few readers chimed in on last night's electric action:......

A man stabbed a 15-year-old girl and the man who tried to stop the attack on her, in a Twin Peaks bakery on Saturday (link fixed per comments). The man, Scott Thomas, had just been released from San Quentin the day before, where he'd been in solitary confinement for attacking a guard. Thomas had been sent to San Quentin for violating the terms of his parole (which he's done 8 times since 2001 -- it......

Here's todays recap of the news...

As we mentioned earlier, those winds from last night's storm were awfully loud and when the wind is awfully loud, that means they're awfully strong. Like between 40-50 MPH strong. We're actually a little surprised we still have power as usually the power goes out at SFist HQ if there's even a mild gust. But while we still have power, there are plenty of people who don't have any right now. According to the latest news, about 52,000 people around the Bay Area are just this very minute wondering what one does without cable TV and the internet. This includes about 17,000 in the Santa Cruz and Monterey county areas and about 1,400 here in San Francisco. ...

Man, that was some storm last night. Nothing like being woken up in the middle of the night because it sounds like your apartment is about to explode -Speaking of winds, the winds closed the Great Highway as sand and other debris got blown onto it. ...

We're going to San Francisco Zoo its annual Night Tour. While in the past, the Night Tour has been a Members Only (not the jackets, silly) affair, tonight the Zoo is releasing 1000 tickets to regular slobs like us, for tonight's tour only. Visitors will revel in this ultimate after-hours adventure that includes more than 10 special animal presentations and feedings and continuous live entertainment...Highlights include the African Savanna at dusk; exclusive behind-the-scenes tours......

We are getting very psyched up as the annual Stern Grove festival opens next Sunday. Every city in the world can offer free live entertainment, but only SF can do it with such spectacular backdrops. Fireworks, shmireworks, we say, unless we have the bay in the background. Bike races are boring, they run in circles, unless they follow the course of the Bullit car race. And summer concerts are just not the same when......
