BROOKLYN, NY — No one, nor thing, was safe from the 30 to 60 mph winds that whistled through NYC's fairest borough on Saturday, April 2, and Sunday, April 3. Below, a gallery of some local victims, including but definitely not limited to a sketchy Park Slope construction project, an unidentified flying object in Williamsburg, a Ditmas Park pear tree and a totaled Infiniti.
