The tornado clean up in Brooklyn continues—and stories unfold about what happened during the brief but fierce storm.  3000 trees, some as old as 200-years-old, are estimated to have been destroyed in Brooklyn, including much damage in Prospect Park.

Throughout Park Slope Parks Department and private arborists and tree specialists were seen cleaning up after the storm. Some streets like Prospect Park West were swiftly cleaned up. Neighbors helped neighbors in the clean up. City Council member Brad Lander urged citizens to pitch in with the clean up:

We’d like to build on that spirit tomorrow and over the weekend.  I’ve talked to some people tonight that could use some help, and I’m sure there will be more.  If you’ve got a few hours in the next couple of days to help clean and remove debris — or if you could use a bit of help from neighbors — email my office at lander@council.nyc.gov, or call us tomorrow at 718-499-1090. If you leave a message or send an email, please include your name, contact info and times you are available to help.

But the trees weren’t the only thing damaged. In the New York Post, Council member Tish James released a list of damage in her district:

• Totals Tree-Related Calls: 1750
