This is the second branch to fall in the Park in recent weeks... on May 16, a young parkgoer escaped injuries after being hit by a limb that fell in the dog run — also on a calm, sunny day.

I really hope the parks dept. takes notice and comes to evaluate any other potential weaknesses. The park is so busy and crowded during the summer months. Glad nobody was hurt.
ReplyDeleteWow - it seems these trees are stressed in some way - Glad to hear no one was hurt.
