Strong Winds Cause Trees to Topple in San Francisco, One Person Injured
Gusts over 30mph ripped through parts of San Francisco late Saturday afternoon leaving a wake of fallen branches, blown-over trash bins, and one 50-foot tree collapsed at the Sydney G. Walton Square park, which apparently injured a person.
This weekend s been particularly pretty, with blue skies and abundant sunshine steady constants since Friday. But yesterday, things took a turn when a series of strong winds howled through SF, claiming at least one towering tree. (And by the looks of some NBC Bay Area footage: More than a few tree topplings occurred Saturday, including one that saw a silver Toyota have its rear corner panel collapsed in by fallen timber.)
