Across the area, the wind is pulling down tree limbs and power lines.Kenny Jervis photographed a tree and a light pole that came down on cars at K and E. 7 streets in South Boston.

Hang on
We're sure it's falling objects, and not some space-saving local playing the long game?
Trees affecting commuter rail as well
Just got this T alert
Scooter on Congress St.
Someone parked it perpendicular to the wind-tunnel direction across from the Fed.
I saw it start rocking back and forth in the wind gusts, and it tumbled before I got to it.
Oops.
Im Calling your bluff
Looking out the window and i don't see a single scooter........
about 1:30
I walked past as the owner was pushing it up. I thought someone didn't like it at the bike rack.
Wind gust
Do you know how fast the wind has to be in order for it to tip over a motor scooter? What about a bicycle?
I want to hear this one.
No idea
It was difficult to walk, I'll say that much.
It was square to the wind and it may not have been kickstanded properly, either, as it was on a brick sidewalk.
Does not take much at all to blow over a kickstanded bicycle. The bikes at the same rack were all blown into whatever pile that their locks would allow.
Be very alert to old huge ash trees.
The upper limbs shear off in these conditions and can easily be lethal.
