Totally Insane “Eye of the Storm” Sunset on Saturday

Spiral Sunset

In cased you missed it, sunset on Saturday evening was crazy off-the-hook for serious. Bernal Hill provided (per usual) an excellent vantage point from which to view the madness, which was caused by the same whack-job storm system that give us last night’s record-setting June (!!!) rainfall. (Sing along: “Kooooyaaaaaaanisqatsiiiiii”)

This weather front is bonkers, but it is also extremely well organized, spinning out in a spiral-shaped pinwheel that put Bernalwood in the eye of the storm right around sunset:

It’s even nuttier in the animated satellite view.

The setting sun lit up all those spiralling cloud loops as they surrounded our City, providing amazing texture and color. This was the scene:

The ridgeline just below Twin Peaks was glowing pink:

One Rincon and the Bay Bridge were a colorful couple:

South Van Ness looked exceptionally arterial:

Our own Microwave Tower seemed rather rakish:

The Spaghetti Bowl was a tangle of colors:

And Bernal Heights Boulevard was delightfully apocalyptic:

Lastly, here’s a 360-degree video, to help put it all in perspective. (Add your own “Double rainbow all the way!” soundtrack):
