Multiple home garages on Marina Boulevard were lined with sandbags Tuesday night, ahead of Wednesday's monstrous storm.
The Srivastava home is still drying out from the New Year's Eve storm. The family returned from a holiday trip on Monday to find their entire bottom floor, including their garage and car, flooded. Wednesday's storm system is expected to be even more powerful.
"We're very worried about it. I just spent all day putting sandbags in front of the garage at every entry point and we're just crossing our fingers and hoping we won't have more damage," said Deepak Srivastava. Srivastava said he waited two hours for five sandbags, which was the limit, on Tuesday at the Department of Public Works. He and his wife Denise filled up more empty bags with sand throughout the day. Workers had to tell drivers that they ran out around 5:30 in the evening. They are expecting more at 8 am Wednesday.
"We had a similar flood jsut last October," added Deepak."They call it a 100-year storm, but sounds like we might have two of those in one week." On Tuesday, we saw several people waiting to buy storm supplies at Fredericksen Hardware in the Marina."We've been working very hard to source sandbags from wherever we can in Northern California. Some are being delivered to our operations yards, we're always sending trucks out to pick them up," said DPW communications director Rachel Gordon."If you don't have to be out in San Francisco, please don't be out on the roads.
