[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We lived on a street in Kensington in 1990 (+/-) lined with 60 year old beautiful maple trees (guess that age because of age of houses) and there was a tornado that knocked over 75% of them, several into second floor of homes. Luckily - storm came at 5PM and people weren't in their beds (my best friend across street bedroom took a direct hit.) I love trees but I have no problem with removing big ones too close to the home, in fact, once I get the dang $10,000 it will cost us I will be removing 3 massive Silver Maples all within 10 feet of my house. There is a reason there is something called 'street trees': our close by homes aren't set up for 75' trees towering over our houses especially in the increasingly violent storms we're getting. I am happy to plant trees 50 feet away and wish the city/suburbs would plant more big trees where there is the space and less ornamentals but I won't judge being afraid of trees falling on houses[/quote]

We get it.  Everyone has a story.  I have had trees fall on my house not once, but twice.  I still don't feel the need to go cutting down trees, or try to tell others what to do.  I have my own life to worry about.  Imagine that. [/quote]
