According to Rachel Gordon from the San Francisco Department of Public Works, there are 105,000 trees in the city and when the wind picks up, many become vulnerable to being knocked over.
Gordon told KCBS that anyone who sees a large limb hanging off of tree that might impede a truck to move under it, should call 311 so that DPW workers can take a look.
