Tree down on 3rd Street

At 12:30 on this windswept afternoon, this tree came down on Third Street between First Avenue and Second Avenue outside Maryhouse, where 30 minutes earlier, the organization run by the Catholic Worker was just opening for lunch...

Felton Davis of Maryhouse, who shared these photos, said: "Now everyone is asking each other: What if I had walked up a few minutes late? Or what if I had been crossing the street right next to the tree?" 

The FDNY arrived on the scene to clear the tree from the street...
