The Department of Parks and Recreation isn’t kidding when it advises New Yorkers to stay away from trees today due to the heavy snow.

Yesterday someone was killed by a falling branch in Central Park. Sad.

This morning on St. John’s Place just east of Seventh Avenue in Park Slope a tree. I will be walking by there soon. Photographer  Tom Martinez got some pictures, which are forthcoming.

“Quite dramatic,” he said. “Could have killed someone but fortunately didn’t.”

I walked up St. John’s Place not on the sidewalk which is blocked off but right down the middle of the street. Police and firemen are on the scene. There’s lots of yellow police tape blocking off the street.

Hey folks, walk carefully today. And look UP. Something could be coming DOWN.
