recommended that the 30 residentsKTVU meteorologist Steve Paulson said that pockets of rain and thunderstorms are still in the mix throughout the day, and temperatures will be unseasonably cool in the 50s. It was the wind, racing through at 77 mph at Pier 1 in San Francisco, that caused the most damage on Tuesday afternoon through the evening.
On Wednesday, the Contra Costa County Coroner identified the man as Thomas Huster, 79, of Walnut Creek. San Francisco also saw downed tree and wires across the city. Two people were critically wounded after they were struck by a falling tree on Post and Polk streets. It was a similar scene at the Oakland estuary, where a section of a dock broke loose and floated away with at least five boats connected to it. The winds also caused San Francisco International Airport to ground flights and evacuations in Santa Cruz County, where winds gusted up to 80 mph.
