SF Bay area residents are waking up to the magnitude of this week's oil spill in the Bay. This one feels personal. I surf and hike regularly at Rodeo Beach/Ft. Chronkite, a pristine beach in southern Marin Beach that got hit particularly hard. (Read SF Chronicle Story Here). My wife and I took a drive to Ft. Chronkite Sunday. There were HAZMAT crews out and the smell of oil was strong.
