Along the San Mateo County coast, they are dealing with all sorts of problems following Tuesday's storm.
High winds throughout the Bay Area on Tuesday blew down multiple trees and knocked out power, causing cancellations and delays on public transit, the closures of some highways and roads, and safety hazards as arcing power lines hit land.
That boom was the lamppost landing on an Audi SUV, busting through the panoramic roof. He says it took a forklift and four people to lift the pole to move the car. He is just thankful that no one was injured. Ricky Boniano is with the city's Recreation and Park Department. He says wind gusts were up to 80 mph.
"We were concerned. We noticed on the weather reports they gave a warning about the wind and the saturated ground, there would be a lot of trees down. And, they were right," says long-time resident Maryann Thorton, who lives near the park. "All of a sudden there was this crash and this huge gigantic tree just fell over," she said. "No one can do anything, because everybody is suffering from something right now with all this flooding and rain."San Francisco crews said Wednesday they are assessing and cleaning up the citywide damage caused by Tuesday's high winds and rain, including hundreds of fallen trees, power outages and major traffic disruptions.
