Current SF Bay Area weather map has flood watch posted everywhere _except_ Oakland,

http://www.wrh.noaa.gov/mtr/

but Oakland is honeycombed with many urban creeks, the biggest of which have been shoved underground into culverts. It's only a matter of time before those culverts have had their fill and we start to see small lakes appearing at traffic intersections. I saw the makings of one of them yesterday. The "brook in the city" WILL be respected :).
