Across the Bay Area, falling trees continue to be a problem after the storms. Strong winds are taking down trees and branches in some areas, pulling down power lines and threatening homes.

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. The tree fell during the height of Wednesday night's storm.

"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.
