The Merc Article has been updated to indicate that the creek did overtop at the Chaucer Street bridge, forcing the closing of various nearby streets including University.  However, the flooding is thus far described as "minor."

Creek monitors at Waverly and Chaucer streets failed; police said city staff members were in place to monitor water levels.

So much angst about fixing this problem since 1998, and the political disagreements over how to do it have become legendary.  But after all of that, they could not install sensors that worked in a flood?  I'm sure they were just fine when the creek was dry....

Meanwhile, 101 has been closed in South San Francisco due to flooding:

The rain is supposed to clear out by 7 or 8, so hopefully by the time the game is over.  It could be a mess getting to Maples, however.

Do they allow umbrellas in Maples?
