From Eliot, who writes  Now I’ve Heard Everything: “I was out on 7th Avenue at 1:15 this afternoon and saw this tree down on Garfield Place between 6th and 7th Avenue.  The fire department was on the scene cutting the tree down, while police had blocked off the street so they could work.  One truck, on the north side of the street was damaged.  From my vantage point, I could not tell if the car nearest the tree on the south side of the street was OK or not.”
