Falling Tree In Ridgewood Downs Transformer

A downed tree in Ridgewood on Monday knocked a transformer from a utility pole, yanked down wires, caused some area outages and generally proved to be a nuisance.

Fortunately, no one was hurt.

The tree on Grandview Circle toppled around noon Aug. 7 following the morning's heavy rains.

It snagged the wires, which dislodged the transformer.
