ALERTSF: Heavy rain is heading to San Francisco within the hour and low lying areas may flood.

If floodwaters rise around your car, abandon the car and move to higher ground if you can do so safely. • Stay clear of water that is in contact with downed power lines. • Call 311 for non-life threatening storm issues.
