That must be a city person thing. Been a deep woods country boy my whole life. Had multiple massive trees all around all my homes, including my current Canadian Border property. Never an issue other than some branches once in a while. I recall listening to a radio podcast once and this city chick was talking about how trees scare her due to lightening and falling. I was thinking, "WTF?"

Had a big oak take out the lanai and fence at my parent's place on the north end. Nobody was scared. The only "ah, $hit" and sadness was the loss of the tree. Not the lanai or fence. That's what insurance is for.

I miss it, the south villages is ugly if you ask me.

I even brought my chainsaw with me. You never know.
