Reader report: major damage avoided when tree falls behind 1st Avenue buildings

An EVG reader shared these photos... Around 3 a.m., about half of a large tree fell and came to rest on part of two buildings behind First Avenue between Second Street and Third Street...





The reader said that no one was injured ... the tree narrowly missed the enclosed canopy behind d.b.a.

Apparently there was a crack in the tree, and a neighbor warned that this might happen.

East Fifth St. Tree Committee takes action after downed limb strikes car

A reader passes along word that a large branch — "assumed to be broken off by lightning" — fell on top of a car on East Fifth Street between Second Avenue and Cooper Square.

The downed branch was spotted by a member of the East Fifth Street Tree Committee, who notified the FDNY. Firefighters, who happened to be on the block responding to a reported gas leak on the block, removed the tree parts that had covered the car.

The Tree Committee member contacted the Parks Department, "who quickly sent someone to take photos and assured the block residents that the tree parts would be removed by morning."
