I guess it's human nature.
I have to ask what is exact number of “larger than normal homes hit? Would peak interest if number per year, then one can actually see increase say for the past 10 years.
However how many new homes have been added to the mix per year in the last 10 years.
A comparison of roof tops per strike for each year, may be a conversation worth having.
Then since info would be beneficial break down south of 44 which has less giant trees, then say between the 6’s where trees are fewer, and in northern area where giant trees are everywhere.

For many money isn’t the object, but sound numbers of document strikes is definitely worth looking at.but more than normal doesn’t really make an interesting topic for those who look at statistics

That would be a great informational meeting.
