No Military involvement in any rescue efforts should be allowed. They hate our military. Let them fend for themselves.

I felt it, it shook the building...large rumble followed...then sirens, co-workers have gone down to investigate.

"...just heard it was some kind of Pacific Gas & Electric Vault explosion at the corner of California and Drumm Street near the Embarcadero."

Probably some kind of massive overload due to all of the gay weddings scheduled to take at 4:15 Pacific time.

Don’t know what happened. But every so often a vault explodes and a manhole cover goes airborne. Big pucker factor, but not a big deal. Calm down folks.

If San Francisco is still using fossil fuels, it’s their own damn fault.
