Sea foam covers the beach like shaving cream after the waters recede at low tide, following the high surf that hit our San Francisco Bay Area coast during the #bombcyclone. We get a bit of a break today, then another wave of storms hit starting Saturday. #coastside #flooding #bombcyclone #atmosphericriver #floodprep #metalshop #sanfrancisco #bayarea #islaiscreekstudios #hunterspointshipyardartists #goldengatebridge #internationalorange (at Fitzgerald Marine Reserve) https://www.instagram.com/p/CnFGDSap4i5/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

We were very lucky… counting our blessings as we cleaned up and prepared for the next wave of storms. We only had a few inches of standing water, and most of our stuff was already up off the floor on carts and dollies, if not already in our overhead storage. After the flooding receded, we found that we had just lost some cardboard, packaging, and power cords. However, many of our fellow Islais Creek Studio artists weren’t so lucky, and it’s heartbreaking to see the pile of stuff to be tossed grow larger as everyone works to clean up and prepare. Thank you to @rebeccafoxstudio and @cherylderricottestudio for sharing the additional photos shown here of clean-up and prep around Islais Creek Studios…. #flooding #bombcyclone #atmosphericriver #floodprep #metalshop #sanfrancisco #bayarea #islaiscreekstudios #hunterspointshipyardartists #goldengatebridge #internationalorange (at Islais Creek Studios) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cm_8Ug_L9gs/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Learn  why preparation is key before a flood to minimize water damage.

Utah’s disaster history isn’t as extensive as some states, but most of our disasters have this in common. Take time to plan now in case flooding could affect you. #FloodSafety #FloodPrep

March 12-18 is Flood Safety Awareness Week. We'll share tips all week long on our social channels. Start your week with this tip: Never enter flood waters. You don't know how deep they are and you might not be aware that they get pretty nasty with hazardous materials, sewage and more. #FloodPrep #FloodSafety
