I wouldn’t be surprised if we start seeing explosions in SF soon. There was a small explosion on my street on September 2nd in the Mission (SF) in broad daylight. It caused damage to a building but nobody was hurt. The police deemed it an act of vandalism.

Interesting, I live in the SFBA and haven't heard of this. 5 minutes of Google searching turned up no results. Could you point me to a news article of this event?

  Possibly they got the dates wrong? The first "mission san fran explosion september 2022" result on Google for me is: https://sfstandard.com/criminal-justice/mysterious-explosions-heard-across-sf-as-police-investigate-small-devices/ https://sfstandard.com/criminal-justice/mysterious-explosion... "The explosions were confirmed by police, who reported several buildings with broken windows at Willow Street and damage to a business’s window at Fulton Street; no injuries have been reported. Explosions were also heard in District 9, which includes the Mission, according to one Twitter user. That report has yet to be confirmed by police." "Police Captain Derrick Jackson of Northern Station confirmed there was “a small device that was set off in the area of 355 Fulton between Franklin and Gough.” “There was damage to a business plate glass window, but no civilians were injured,” said Jackson in an email to the Hayes Valley Safe community group." "A San Francisco police spokesperson told The Standard that on Saturday at approximately 3:50 p.m., police officers assigned to Tenderloin Station responded to Willow Street and Polk Street to a report of a possible explosion. “When officers arrived on scene, they found that several building windows on Willow Street were broken and a parked vehicle was damaged,” the spokesperson said in an email."

    Thank you, its in the Tenderloin not the Mission but it definitely tracks. I actually lived on Polk and O'Farrell a few years back, it wasn't uncommon for glass to get broken and many (all?) of the businesses had gating over their windows to try to discourage it. I do wonder if it was a firework versus an IED, personally an IED would be more concerning.

  It didn’t make the news and I failed to find the police report. The restaurant where the explosion happened is Shizen, you can call them to verify.
