Fallen Trees Block Neighborhood Roads for Hours

Unusually strong winds persisted throughout the evening in parts of Brooklyn including Crown Heights, leaving the streets littered with tree limbs. Carroll Street was blocked off for hours after a large portion of a tree blocked the roadway.

A number of cars were damaged from the falling tree limbs, but there were no reported injuries.
