I guess that "2" is plural - so the reporter is correct - "treeS" did
follow - 2 of them - what a natural disaster!

“Right now it’s virtual white-out conditions—extremely hazardous to be
out on the roads,” said Police Captain Robert Bongiorno.
Bongiorno said Massachusetts Avenue had to be temporarily closed at
one point this morning when a street light wire fell into the roadway.
The road has since been reopened, but Bongiorno said several other
fallen wires have been reported and a couple of trees have toppled
from the storm. Police have not received any reports of power outages,
he said.
The town has declared a snow emergency and a parking ban will remain
in effect through 7 a.m. tomorrow. Bongiorno said 17 cars have been
towed for parking on the street, and police have also responded to
several disabled vehicles on Massachusetts Avenue.
Bongiorno urged motorists to stay of the roads if possible while the
DPW works to plow the road
