A significant incident occurred during the early hours of Tuesday, October 10, when a large tree collapsed on Av. José Longo in the Jardim São Dimas neighborhood of São José dos Campos, completely blocking the road. While there were no injuries reported, the fall of the tree resulted in considerable disruption to the traffic and local infrastructure. Emergency services, including a response team from the utility company EDP, promptly arrived at the scene to address the situation, isolating the area to mitigate risks to nearby residents and ensuring safety while they dealt with the fallen tree.

This incident not only blocked the roadway but also affected energy supply in the vicinity as the fallen tree interfered with electrical lines. In response, the EDP team worked throughout the night to minimize the impacts on power distribution in the area. Local authorities and specialized teams collaborated with the utility company to remove the tree and restore normalcy to the community. Residents in nearby areas experienced temporary power interruptions as safety precautions were taken during the repairs.

The situation was compounded by reports of another tree falling on Avenida dos Astronautas, which also highlighted the potential hazards posed by deteriorating weather conditions and presumably weakened trees in the region. As authorities manage these incidents, they emphasize the importance of regular safety checks and maintenance of urban green spaces to prevent similar occurrences in the future, especially as adverse weather can lead to structural calamities like fallen trees.
