High winds bring down a branch in Tompkins Square Park

Late this afternoon, around 5, a tree branch came crashing down inside the Ninth Street and Avenue A entrance to Tompkins Square Park. (Thanks to the reader for the above photo.) '

The branch fell about 10 feet from Derek Berg while walking with Wilfie. 

He took these photos ... including after the FDNY responded to the scene...
According to the Weather Channel, New York Harbor is under a gale warning until 8 p.m. Gusts could hit 40 mph.

    I don't think it was prudent to be walking dogs in the park today. I think it was better to stay inside generally if possible. Manhattan is not an ideal place to be on the street w 40 moh winds. if the mayor did not make any public advisory about this he's an idiot. well he's an idiot regardless.

    Another big branch came down in the SE part of the park from an otherwise healthy looking oak. I stay out of the park when it's windy or stormy. Considering the lack of maintenance of our trees, it's just too dangerous.
