A fast-moving storm slid into the Bay Area early Thursday, bring a healthy dose of rain. As with many storms, the biggest totals were at higher elevations such as the Santa Cruz Mountains, East Bay Hills, Big Sur and North Bay Hills, although most cities around San Francisco Bay received at least 1 inch, bringing autumn totals up above historical averages across the region as the winter approaches, and all but ending fire season for the rest of the year.
