Morning News Round-up --10.15.09: Watch the curb

More than 200 San Mateo County residents are still without power thanks to the biggest October storm that’s hit the Peninsula in nearly 50 years. The storm also knocked over 47 trees and 31 sets of power lines. Officials are still tallying up the damage caused… When it rains it pours.

The District Attorney decided that it was an accident when Burlingame Detective Kurt Rodenspiel shot 24-year-old Joseph Ortega in the heart; he stumbled on a curb and lost his balance. Oops.

And finally… an apology from Caltrain for being so horny.

Someone threw a rock from a moving car, hitting a man in the head. Ouch!

Daily Journal columnist Michelle Durand gives readers a little insight about what it really means to break the law. And she should know because?

The guy driving the dump truck who killed a bicyclist in Redwood Shores yesterday says he drove away from the scene because he didn’t know he had hit someone. Stranger things have not happened.

The Peninsula is quickly becoming a Mecca for In-N-Out. Who would have thought?

Stanford and Lucile Packard Children's hospitals have barred kids under the age of 16 from visiting patients at hospitals so as to avoid the spread of swine. Thank you, thank you.
