Two people were found dead in San Francisco during the powerful weekend storm.
In Golden Gate Park, a woman’s body was found next to a large tree branch that fell late Saturday afternoon. According to the San Francisco Fire Department, a jogger spotted the woman on the ground and called 911.
Firefighters determined that the victim had been jogging when she was hit by the tree branch and suffered fatal head trauma.
The Chief Medical Examiner identified the woman as Louise Beth Abrams, 73, of San Francisco.
“We are heartbroken that one of our park users tragically lost her life during the Jan. 14 storm when a limb fell from a pine tree,” city parks and recreation officials wrote.
