SAN FRANCISCO (KRON) — Students at San Francisco State University navigate a maze of storm destruction on campus as strong gusts of wind continue to topple large trees.
University officials wrote a message to the campus community saying, “In high winds and downed trees on and around campus, increased caution is advised. Special:
- Be aware of your surroundings. Look up and stay alert.
- Don’t gather under trees.
- Avoid using headphones or looking at your phone to stay alert.”
Students were in class at SF State University on March 14, 2023 when this tree fell.

Several areas of the campus are cordoned off with cordon tape, including a courtyard behind the Health and Human Services building, a bike lane at Cox Stadium, and the street connecting the main plaza, the gym, and Thornton Hall.
At least one vehicle was destroyed when it was crushed by a tree next to a university building around midday. At that time there were lessons.
Over in downtown San Francisco, gusts of wind shattered the windows of a skyscraper and dropped glass from the 43rd floor onto the street below. Emergency officials ordered a “shelter” on California Street Tuesday afternoon and evacuated four surrounding blocks.
A wind warning issued by the National Weather Service remains in effect until Wednesday morning. The NWS Bay Area wrote, “While the rain has largely stopped, the wind will be a BIG concern.”
