We were woken up around 6 am by the sound of helicopters, multiple helicopters, hovering nearby. The helicopters were all news helicopters, though, we could tell, because you couldn't hear the high pitch whine of the Aérospatiale Alouettes that the Coast Guard uses. Something newsworthy was up on our sweet little hill.
We turned on the radio (KCBS 740) and heard this: Landslide In S.F. North Beach Prompts Evacuations. Traffic on Broadway detoured around the block between Montgomery and Kearny. Morning commute traffic a mess. No one hurt. Lots of mud and rock.
The CBS5 site has pictures, raw video and a live Webcam setup to look at the slide.
455 Vallejo is teetering.
The helicopters went away for a few hours but now are back. We'll wander over to see what we can see at some point.
