Trash containers and recycling bins were not the only things tossed about by the windy conditions: a tree was uprooted, falling on a parked Honda Fit on the first block of Pine Street off of Trapelo Road today, Thursday, March 31.

While many town streets are lined with smaller branches, it is not an unusual event for trees to come down when gusts reach 40 mph as they have during most of the day. According to the Department of Public Works, there are 10,000 or so public shade trees with many thousands on private land.
