San Francisco just had it's 4th wettest day ever while some parts of the North Bay exceeded 1 foot of rain yesterday. Good news for those affected by flooding is the atmospheric river is now shifting Southward and out of the Bay Area. @kron4news pic.twitter.com/aWflC31Qk4

The record rain had emergency crews around San Francisco responding to flooding and other hazards caused by the atmospheric river.

Please avoid non-essential travel. Crews have been out along the Embarcadero clearing drains but still more rain expected and possible flooding. @SFFDPIO @SF_emergency @sfpublicworks @MySFPUC pic.twitter.com/SJla9vtI0T
