Bay Area Struggles With Rain and Earthquake Aftermath
In San Francisco and Oakland floods of traffic persisted as ferries and trains moved commuters after the quake. Rescuers halted efforts at the shattered I-880 freeway after rubble instability. Buck Helm, pulled from the rubble, showed improved condition with doctors hopeful. Officials planned dismantling a near collapsing off-ramp near I-880 as warnings of high waves and heavy rain persisted. Bay Area transit carried 70,000 riders by 8:30 a.m. while 59 dead and an estimated $7 billion in damage marked a costly disaster.
