Local residents, Katie and AJ Ramos, said the tree seemingly fell before the heavy rain and thunder started on Saturday evening.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Katie, who called 911 to report the incident and was informed that FDNY were on the way, said, \u201cJust a lady from that black car had come out with a baby like minutes or seconds you could say before the tree fell.\u201d Asked if she had seen the tree fall, herself, Katie said she did not but that her neighbor saw it and called her to tell her. Asked if the lady turned back after exiting the car and saw the tree falling, Katie said, \u201cNo, just my neighbors across the street told me that.\u201d<\/p>\n

Katie added, \u201cThere was an inspection about a month ago, and about two weeks ago, they had trimmed them all. I think it\u2019s the Parks\u2019 department. I don\u2019t know who\u2026 They said they were inspecting them to trim them down.\u201d She added, \u201cAnd they checked the roots and everything of the tree and it seemed healthy, because it does seem healthy.\u201d She said the neighbors said, \u201cIt was just the wind and then\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 whoosh (claps) and it went down.\u201d<\/p>\n

Katie said she was in the back and didn\u2019t hear anything. She said she has parking in the back of her home and was expecting her son to visit her by car but said he wouldn\u2019t be able to access the driveway now due to the tree blocking the access.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Ramos didn\u2019t see it fall either and several residents we spoke to also said they did not hear anything.<\/p>\n
