CBS5) SAN FRANCISCO An explosion struck in downtown San Francisco mid-morning Friday at the intersection of Post and Kearny shortly before 10 a.m.
The source of the explosion is not known at this time but a structure is on fire and one person is reported to have been injured. Initial reports indicate a woman was transported to the St. Francis Hospital Burn Center.
San Francisco police report the evacuation of several buildings in the area, including the Crocker Galleria. Foot and car traffic has been cleared from the area.
One occupant of the Crocker Galleria building, whose office is on the 8th floor, said that he felt the explosion's impact but sensed it was not an earthquake.
Portions of Sutter, Montgomery, Kearny and Post streets have been closed while investigators proceed through the area.
The Ralph Lauren store at 90 Post Street was damaged. The store's awning was engulfed in flames, according to eyewitnesses.
The explosion also dislodged a manhole cover and buckled a section of sidewalk. There is broken glass and debris strewn on the sidewalk.
