We try to avoid Prospect Park following a wind storm, branches always seem to be coming down in their wake for days after. My mother-in-law and the family dog both narrowly avoided being creamed when a full HALF a large deciduous tree sheared off and came crashing down. Luckily it had announced its intentions with a resounding CRACK before falling. We went back after the crews had cleaned up a bit and took a segment of the 12" (30cm) diameter “branch” that fell, and gave it to her. She uses it as a stool to this day.

Quite often news organizations will zoom and pan in a CCTV video, which accounts for horizontal movement. The “handheld” jitter is probably the natural jitter of an outside camera in high winds, multiplied by the zoom.
