The Bay Area got a taste of rain overnight Sunday, with a lot more expected to follow over the coming week — a “parade of precipitation” that meteorologists said could give San Francisco a chance to reach the normal October level for rainfall.

With the showers Sunday night the only precipitation so far this month for the city, and with extreme drought still gripping the region, the prospect of significant rain was tantalizing.

Chronicle Covers: Today marks the 30-year anniversary of the start of the Oakland hills fire. The Chronicle’s front page from Oct. 21, 1991, covers the inferno that killed 25 people, burned more than 3,000 homes and caused $1.5 billion in damage.

30 years after the Oakland hills fire: The Chronicle’s front page from Oct. 22, 1991, covers the aftermath of the fire, the most devastating Bay Area blaze in generations.

Memories from the Oakland hills fire, 30 years ago: "As I walked down on my way to the field, I saw that every fan sitting in those lower seats had a dark dusting of ash on his or her shoulders, like some hellish outbreak of communicable dandruff."

Belcampo, once a darling of the sustainable meat world with locations in California and New York, is shutting down all of its restaurants. The sudden announcement follows controversy earlier this year when Belcampo admitted to mislabeling meat products.

Belcampo’s public backlash started in May, when a former employee took to Instagram to claim that the Santa Monica store was selling non-organic, corn-fed beef and chicken and turkey from other companies as Belcampo products.

In interviews with The Chronicle this summer, several former Belcampo employees described a demanding work culture that intensified as Belcampo grew rapidly.

The delta variant is still the overwhelmingly dominant coronavirus strain in California and the U.S., but one of its descendants is starting to gain traction overseas.

Experts, including in the Bay Area, are keeping an eye on AY.4.2. sfchronicle.com/health/article…
There reportedly have been seven AY.4.2 cases sequenced in the U.S. — one of them in California.

sfchronicle.com/health/article…
While AY.4.2 isn't a concern yet in the U.S., @PCH_SF said that “as long as there are unvaccinated people, the virus will evolve and we need to be vigilant and track all of these variants and sublineages.”

March 17, 2020: Monica Gandhi sat staring at an email she’d just received from S.F.'s health officer.

It was the first time — but hardly the last — that she found herself questioning the city's conservative approach to the pandemic. sfchronicle.com/bayarea/articl…
She’d spend the next year and a half living in an uncomfortable gray space, advocating for a harm-reduction approach to the pandemic that sometimes ran counter to a far more cautious approach held by many in San Francisco and other liberal enclaves. sfchronicle.com/bayarea/articl…
As one of S.F.’s loudest voices in favor of harm reduction, she’s received fierce backlash, and sometimes death threats, particularly on Twitter.

“I’m not saying anything crazy,” she says. "I’m really not.” sfchronicle.com/bayarea/articl…

Data released by the San Francisco Police Department raises questions about an announcement from Walgreens earlier in the week that organized, rampant retail theft forced it to close five stores. sfchronicle.com/sf/article/Is-…
One of the stores set to close, on Ocean Avenue, had only 7 reported shoplifting incidents this year and a total of 23 since 2018, the data showed. sfchronicle.com/sf/article/Is-…
While not all shoplifting incidents are reported to police, the five stores slated to close had fewer than two recorded shoplifting incidents a month on average since 2018. sfchronicle.com/sf/article/Is-…

1/ What’s changing now?

People fully vaccinated for COVID-19 no longer need to wear a mask in some indoor settings in San Francisco and Marin County where the same fully vaccinated group gathers.

More info here: sfchronicle.com/health/article…
Indoor settings where people in S.F. and Marin can now drop masks:

◼️Offices
◼️Gyms and fitness centers
◼️Employee commuter vehicles
◼️Religious gatherings
◼️Indoor college classes not exceeding 100 people

sfchronicle.com/health/article…
2/ What has been the response from major employers?

One hope for the lifting of the mask mandate for vaccinated offices is that more people will return to work. But several employers have already said mask mandates won't change, for now: sfchronicle.com/health/article…
