Don't stand under a tree today

What are the odds? Tree falls, misses cars in Southie.

Carina Flynn, who captured the lucky miss above, reports she's never seen so many fallen trees in South Boston.

There wasn't much joy on Joy Street on Beacon Hill this morning:

Trees fell on both Storrow and Memorial Drives, blocking traffic.

No power on Reed Street in North Cambridge on account of this uprooted tree on Dudley. @universalhub pic.twitter.com/GaWKGZN1E5

Blowing up like a balloon but the netting around the Dorchester Heights Monument has survived so far…. @maureencaught @universalhub @bostonNHP pic.twitter.com/9QqjqPb4nl

Trees down all over West of Washington #Dorchester this a.m. Spencer St. is closed and several other streets have large trees down on the edges. Saw a poor car obliterated by downed tree on Centre St. #FortHill . Not sure the owner knew yet. What a night! @universalhub @DotNews

While conditions are easing across the system, significant impacts continue as a result of damaging winds, rain, & flooding. Our crews are working to resolve issues across the network but ongoing delays are occurring due to severe equipment damage, signal issues, & down trees. pic.twitter.com/YHmGfTzSa2
