Good morning Redwood City!
I hope you had an amazing Monday. The rain has passed. This weekend's storm was record-setting.
“This is the second wettest day of October for Redwood City in our climate record,” said meteorologist Brayden Murdock of the NWS. According to the record, which dates back to the 1960s, yesterday was also the third all-time wettest day in Redwood City history, said Murdock. The record—4.88 inches—was set on Oct. 13, 1962.
We heard from many of you who had experienced power outages and downed lines and trees. But we also heard from some of you who had some positive experiences in the midst of the storm. Like this story: A fallen tree was no match for the mysterious woman with a chainsaw

In other news, last night City Council voted to adopt a City Equity Plan. Council Member Michael Smith appointed Bill Newell to the Police Advisory Committee after Jesse LaBonta stepped down in September. The mayor and Redwood City also sent their response to the San Mateo County Civil Grand Jury regarding RIPA. Stay tuned for a story on that later this week.
Any questions, comments or concerns, send them our way.
Signing off,
Michelle
