Oops. There's video on the page with more info.

I used to live on Treasure Island, smack in the middle of that fucking bridge.
Thank god I'm not there now!

I rode across that bridge everyday for 4 years. Damn glad I wasn't on it when that cable snapped.

On it, or anywhere near it. Can you imagine how long it's gonna take people to get from the Macarthur maze/toll plaza to some point where they can turn around?
Fuuuuck.
If I were stuck in a car in that, I'd be freaking out. I've got blood sugar problems and I'd run the risk of having to ditch my car and walking to find food.

Is that the double-decker bridge? I used to drive over that thing all the time when I was stationed out there. It was freaky enough when the top migrated to the bottom during that earthquake a few years back, but now shit's falling down on the road? I'm so happy to be back in Colorado!

I tried taking the 8:20 ferry to work this morning and missed the boat trying to find parking. It's usually incredibly easy to park, but today the cars were spread way down the street. Needless to say, I had to wait for the next boat and got into work a little over an hour late.

I think I may be holing up in SF for a bit, rather than commuting to the east bay with the clusterfuck conditions caused by the bridge being out. The positive to that is more snuggling with the boyfriend, and more opportunity to ride the RD, which isn't tuned well enough for me to ride it outside the SF city limits at the moment. Really, I can't complain.
