Trees have fallen throughout various parts of the SF State campus due to the first storm of the region's rainy season.

Around 2:30 p.m., trees appeared to have fallen on the east side of the main quad, near the business building. A second tree possibly may be uprooted as a result of the strong winds. Maintenance personnel are currently working to prevent the second tree from uprooting. There is a reported risk of the tree falling close to other buildings in the area.

Additional trees near Mary Park and Mary Ward halls were also reported as being knocked over and blocking main parts of the campus walkway. Students reportedly witnessed a Chartwells employee being taken down by the tree.

"I was sitting in my bed and heard it crack, then I looked out my window and it fell and knocked the Chartwells worker over," said freshman and Mary Ward dorm resident Alexa Amore, 17. "And then he just got up and left. It was like an outer body experience, I was scared."

Jeff Birnbaum, 18, a freshman and Mary Ward resident, also saw the tree falling. "I saw it fall right into the day care center, I saw it from my dorm room," he said. "I didn't see the man get hit but from what I heard...he is one of the lunch people working here."

Students are currently trapped in the Mary Park elevators as a result of an evacuation of the building's top floors to the bottom floors.
