I was just reading that article earlier since I spent many an hour strolling around Central Park. It's a bit sad to contemplate that many of these magnificent trees have been destroyed. What will be even worse is if curious people get injured or killed by toppling trees or broken limbs hung up in other branches by walking around underneath these damaged areas. Many folks probably just aren't aware of the danger, while others might know, but just can't resist getting a closer look or maybe even flirting with danger.

Anyway, even in the middle of a concrete jungle like Manhattan is not immune to periodic bursts of Mother Nature's power.
