Record Rainfall in San Francisco
July 18, 2007 - San Francisco (Parallaxis)
Record amounts of rain fell in San Francisco today. The official reporting station recorded .01 inches of precipitation, the first time it has ever rained on this date in San Francisco since record-keeping began in 1849.
The moisture caused widespread street-dampness and made many residents look askance at their umbrellas for a moment before heading out the door. Some even paused briefly to re-think their afternoon plans.
"I can't believe it's raining," said Linda, an employee of StubHub in downtown San Francisco. "I wanted to go jogging this afternoon."
By noon, the sun was back out and the good citizens of San Francisco breathed a sigh of relief that they could finally get on with their lives.
It was a different story in the East Bay, where the trace amount of rain moistened dusty power lines, causing more than 80 power outages to over 17,000 customers.
