Reporter one marijuana expert we spoke to here in the bay area told us that since Recreational Marijuana became legal in colorado, about 300 dispensaries have popped up in denver alone. San francisco certainly doesnt have the Square Footage that denver has but its bracing for pot business, and lots of it. You have heard of the gold rush of 1849.

Producing heavy rainfall. We will talk about the timing of the heaviest downpours coming up in a few minutes. It really is the north bay getting hit the hardest at this point. Alex savidge i
