Northern California friends:

If you haven’t already prepared for this storm, please take action!
More floods and power outages are predicted.
Here’s a link to each county’s sandbag location, lists of emergency items to keep on hand and in your vehicle, and current info on the storm.
Stay safe, heroes!

Here's how Bay Area residents can find free sandbags, prepare their homes and receive emergency information ahead of heavy rain, high-speed winds and the potential for power outages on Wednesday and Thursday.

BOLO: Repeat / Bill Gene Hobbs in San Francisco.

DISTINCTIVE FEATURES:

-He has characters that resemble the word "evil" tattooed on his four fingers.
-He is very tall.
-His head looks to be shaved or previously cut, and covered in tattoos.

An alleged stalker has been roaming the streets of San Francisco for months, targeting women - chasing, touching and even kissing them - but there hasn't been much action from the city. Now, the victims and the public are demanding the perpetrator be stopped for good.
