Officials announced the pier would close at 10 p.m. Friday, and remain closed until Monday.
Even with the pier closed, public works officials were reminding people to be aware of their surroundings, and never turn their backs on the ocean.
Sandbags were available at several locations for residents hoping to prevent flooding in their homes. Residents were also concerned about coastal erosion. "I hope it's not too crazy. Everything always seems to be eroding from here to Montara," Daly City resident Ron Magbilang said.
The storm was expected to bring flooding, and possible power outages to the greater Bay Area.
