Meteorologist George Wright Examines Central Park Tree Damage of August 18, 2009

Meteorologist George Wright inspected and photographed the damage that occurred in Central Park on Tuesday, August 18, 2009. He observed many large broken and uprooted trees, downed limbs and broken branches from approximately West 97th Street through West 104th Street near Central Park West. The damage was the result of heavy thunderstorms that moved through the area at about 10:00 p.m. on Tuesday, August 18, 2009. George was there a few days after the incident and workers still had a lot to do as they cleared paths, removed damaged trees and mulched the branches.
