Woke up to a river of water flowing down the street!

[Ray]

According to the news, a water main broke 3 blocks up the hill from my house in San Francisco. As you can imagine, I was quite surprised to see river of water flowing down a city street. Several homes had their basements flooded, but fortunately for us, we were unscathed. Since my house wasn't in any immediate danger, I grabbed the digital camera and snapped a bunch of pics. These pics were snapped at about 9am, 2 hours after the breakage.

Here's the pics.

Here's an article from a news local station.

Better article.

Why isn't he wearing an orange vest like the other guy?

It's San Francisco, gawking is a past time in the Bay Area.

That picture is facing the source of the breakage. Pics 60-67 show the source.

The beauty of a digital cam is you can take as many pics you want and not have to worry about incuring any additional costs. heheh
