Where Are There Downed, Leaning Trees?

While many trees knocked down by Sandy were removed, many remain. Let us know where.

In the immediate aftermath of Superstorm Sandy, toppled trees blocked roadways, tore out wires, crushed cars and even damaged homes in the Smithtown area. In the weeks that followed, tree removal companies and the town's highway department worked around the clock to clear the area.

But the sheer number of downed trees has left many felled, cracked or leaning trees untouched in town, many in places where they are not in danger of causing property damage.

We'd like to know where these are. We've posted a picture above taken of a large tree next to the St. James Lutheran Church as an example.
