A winter storm caused a rockslide and flooding Saturday that closed highways across Northern California and damaged several homes.
Two people were hurt when a tree fell on them on a sidewalk in San Francisco.
Northbound Highway 101 was closed by floodwaters for hours Saturday evening, the San Francisco Chronicle reported. At least three cars were stalled, and traffic inched along until after 8 p.m. when the freeway reopened.
Thigh-high water washed into homes in San Francisco’s West Portal neighborhood, KPIX reported.
“The storm hit, and the sewers backed up, literally and water just came cascading out of the drains, cascading down, and nothing could handle it,” Sarah Glover told the TV station.
A 30 to 40-foot tall tree, likely knocked down by wind, fell on two people about 1 p.m. Saturday in San Francisco’s Presidio Heights neighborhood, The Associated Press reported. The man and woman were taken to a hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
