So get out of here fast!
The Bay Area is expecting major rainstorms through Sunday, with the heaviest rainfall Thursday and Friday. When it's all said and done, we should see about 8 inches of rainfall in the region. Add that to 40 mph winds and you have a good reason to stay indoors all weekend and watch movies.
