Event narrative (NOAA)
A tree was blown down onto 2 cars on Roosevelt Blvd. One 25 yr old male driving one of the cars was killed instantly when the large tree fell onto his vehicle. Images broadcast by media suggested the tree base may have been rotted and impacted by termites. This did not appear to be a healthy tree.
