Tornado Warnings, Empty Parking Spots, Drone Squadron, And Happy Endings

News24/680

If you’re still under the covers – and, frankly, who among us doesn’t wish we were there, too? – you may not know that the 24/680 is washing away.

The insomniacs, early risers among us were greeted by Flood Watch advisories, reports of rising water creeping into homes and, yay, a Tornado Alert for San Francisco and Daly City. That Disaster Bingo Card has been filling up rapidly lately.

Planned events are being canceled, the Red Cross is stepping in for families needing shelter after roof collapses or the unplanned arrival of the front yard Redwood tree through the living room window and we hear there’s a rush on pumps at area hardware stores.

The only locals nonplussed by the current weather appear to be area teens, who are rocking on despite the downpour (several were spotted reenacting the Lew-tenant Dan scene from Forrest Gump overnight, standing on the roof of their selected party dwelling and challenging the Almighty to stop their frivolity), and burglars – who kept doing what they do, too, stealing cars and breaking into places they shouldn’t.

Several unfortunates are reporting their cars missing or homes ransacked upon return from vacations with family.

Also looking skyward last night were locals who swore to us that Iranian Spy Drones, Alien Mother Ships, and Intergalactic Battle Cruisers were slowly cruising over the 24/680 in search of… of… what exactly we’re not sure but no one appears to be missing this morning. We’re thinking people were seeing a lineup of jetliners fighting buffeting headwinds into Oakland and SFO. We saw them, too…

Through the sogginess we continue to get persistent reports of the Oldest Profession in play in various forms throughout The Numbers, coordinated online and occasionally surfacing when a transaction goes wrong or service offering unmet. Being generally suspicious by nature and occasionally prescient we’re wagering some undercover work may be underway. If and when it comes to light we’ll pretend to be surprised but some of those motel room business massages and May-September romances we see blossoming appear to be transactional in nature.

    • We can’t say for certain because we don’t travel in those circles but we will say there’s a certain underlying belief system that seems to be in play despite apparent evidence to the contrary.
