The Night They Red-Tagged Showgirls



You may already have heard about that there was a rockslide in North Beach, off the slopes of Telegraph Hill. 120 people were evacuated, and 7 buildings red-tagged. In the picture above, the lighter area of the cliff face is newly-exposed rock from the slide; here's a close-up:



And for my fellow map junkies, here's a Google satellite image of the slide area. Full story and lots more pictures at the Chronicle link.
