Strong winds and dangerous weather caused delays and injuries during Saturday's Treasure Island Music Festival.

According to reports from CBS in San Francisco, one woman was injured and wheeled out of the festival after a vending machine fell on her.

The performance schedule was also delayed during the festival. Many acts were late arriving to the festival due to delayed flights. Due to these delays, all acts were pushed back by an hour and organizers of the festival extended its Saturday run time past midnight.

Festival organizers were prepared for dangerous weather. The National Weather Service expected rain throughout the weekend. According to the San Francisco Chronicle, sod was laid down on Friday to help absorb water through the weekend.

"Safety is our first concern," Allen Scott told the San Francisco Chronicle. Scott is the vice president of Another Planet Entertainment, which co-produces the festival with Noise Pop Industries.

Scheduled performers for Saturday's festival included How to Dress Well and Duke Dumont.
