In Oakland, tree-removal crews Thursday were clearing what's left of a eucalyptus tree that fell across an apartment building at the end of Lynde Street in the Fruitvale neighborhood.
"I thought it was an earthquake. Then the lights went out," said Jemmiel Moore, who has lived in one of the back units of the building for about eight months. He said he worried something like this might happen.
Thankfully no one was injured but the city building inspector has red-tagged the complex, meaning all of the residents don't know when or if they'll be able to return home. Most are staying in hotels nearby and some residents came back Thursday to grab whatever they could carry. "I was out until about 10:30 last night cleaning up fallen trees here in Oakland and then my phone started ringing at 6 o'clock this morning and it's been go-go-go all day," said Trex Donovan.
