A combination of heavy rain and powerful wind gusts caused quite a mess in the Bay Area on Friday. Andrea Nakano reports
exactly blizzard conditions, but we've been getting walloped by the storm,
bringing a mixed bag of pretty much everything. As Andrea Nakano shows us,
one car was in the wrong place at exactly the wrong time
around 5 30 tonight in San Francisco, a falling tree smashed into this car,
sending four people to the hospital. This happened on Laguna Street and
Golden Gate Avenue as a car came to a stop. The fire department says all of
them suffered minor injuries.
Mhm. It was just about a month ago when another storm caused this eucalyptus to
come crashing down onto five cars in Golden Gate Park, putting 11 people in
danger. Only two were injured.
The rain was furiously falling as well in the East Bay sheets of it coming
down in Berkeley, drenching this parking lot and on the roads, cars
were splashing through flooded streets in the North Bay. Cars came to a crawl
as drivers battled the pounding rain on their windshields and they tightly
grabbed onto their steering wheel to avoid drifting in the wind and a muddy
mess in the South Bay. This is on Highway nine as a mudslide blocked the
road between Sanborn Road near Saratoga on the coast. People were being warned
to stay away from the crashing waves, but that didn't stop this person from
trying to catch a wave near Golden Gate Bridge. The rain and wind has let up a
little bit at this hour, but it was really coming down earlier tonight and
this combination has caused quite a mess here in the Bay Area. Andrea,
thank you. And we are keeping an eye on this storm all weekend long. You can
