Lindsay Beyerstein October 30, 2012

Apart from a few downed trees in Carroll park, some overturned newspaper boxes, and a lot of fallen leaves, Carroll Gardens looked pretty much unscathed this afternoon.

This picture shows a huge tree in Carroll Park that toppled into the adjacent street, crushing at least one car. See full-sized image.

Reader donations, many as small as just $5, are what fund the work of writers like this—and keep our content free and accessible to everyone. But when donations slow down, it puts our future reporting at risk. To get back on track, we're aiming to add 400 contributions from readers by the end of the month.

It only takes a minute to donate. Will you chip in before the deadline?
