California Storms Wreak Havoc, Cause Chaos and Blackouts.
A Golden Gate Ferry boat sailing from Larkspur to San Francisco had to turn around and return to its departure terminal due to storm conditions that prevented the vessel from docking at the Ferry Building on the Embarcadero. The captain reported wind speeds of roughly 50 mph and observed "rolling waves" up to 7 feet high in front of the Ferry Building. There were 16 passengers aboard the ferry, and some became seasick. Golden Gate Ferry chartered a bus for passengers who wished to continue their trip to San Francisco.
