We have dodged the bullet many times with limbs coming down. The tree was hit by lighting and dying slowly. Last year a large limb came down and through my fence. This year a large limb was down on my shed. No damage to the shed but the limb was still supported by the trunk. When I cut it off the shed the limb went through the fence. Last Wednesday the rotted trunk fell in a passing storm. No damage. My neighbor expressed concern. If I let the tree go and it did fall on the neighbors house I could be nailed with negligence. At any rate the trunk is now down and being hauled away. I'm the last guy who wants to cut down a nice shade tree and I'm also the last guy who wants his house crunched by large tree. My wallet is $2000.00 lighter as a result.
