My office is across the street from the Crocker Galleria, a half block from the explosion, but luckily, I didn't go into work today. The exact location of the incident is the NORTHEAST corner of Kearny and Post.
Incidentally, I can't remember when I have laughed so hard at any thread. And thanks for all the pretty pictures of my work neighborhood!
Looking close, it appears that was the sidewalk they were referring to that was pushed up. I imagine that took a little force.
