Scary driving in stormy weather - SF/BA

Today i was driving home from my dragon boat practice, it was storming like hell, thunder lighting, high winds, n raining hard. Yes we practice in the rain n storm that is how hardcore we are. The boat nearly tip over, we got out soak wet, cutting to the point. I was driving home going up sloat toward portola drive, when i approach portola drive, a tree feel rite in front of me! I hit the brakes, almost running into it. Also i wasn't driving that fast either. So i avoided luckily. But people we like honking at me for stopping, until i drove around n they figure out why i stopped. Also visability was bad too. note i was driving my FC.
Whats up with crazy weather lately in the Bay Area ?

File a lawsuit against the weather bureau and the city for not trimming the trees. Tell them that a golf ball almost hit you in the head.
