[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sorry, I guess my family and friends are the unlucky bunch, we all had tree accidents.

My first house, a huge tree fell during a thunderstorm on July 4th in 2006, knocked out 1/3 of my roof and top floor. THANK GOD no kids were at that part of the house at the time.  It was a disaster!  Yes, we got insurance, but I sure hope I don't have to deal with that ever again.

My second house had no trees on the property, but the neighbors all did.  On a windy night, a small branch from neighbor's house landed on our roof and punched a hole the size of an adult's fist.

My friend rented a house near George Mason, parked on the street. A big tree limb fell directly on top of her car, again thank god she wasn't in the car, but the car was completely totaled.

My most unlucky friend was working in his yard on a sunny day in a Mclean neighborhood and a tree limb fell on him. Paralyzed him for half of a year and it took him a long time to fully recover. He was lucky to be alive.

So, please don't judge me. I will not live anywhere near any big trees or next to any neighbors with big trees.

Thank goodness my builders removed all the big trees. He replaced them with evergreens and a beautiful gigantic Japanese maple tree. I'm fine wit those.

Btw, here are some pictures. This is last year, the 2nd house I mentioned. The tree branch was 95%+ into the hole. Any further, it might've punched through my ceiling below the attic.
