This fukn sucks dood
Damn dude.
I worked in the tree removal industry for decades.
Call your insurance company immediately and have it well documented before any removal gets done.
Depending on your insurance provider they could try funny tricks to not pay out.
Good luck my fren.

On the flip side. Many people I did removals from kept the firewood to sell and offset the deductible.
Also. The trunk looks compromised. Push for a full removal, not just damaged/fallen portion.
I actually cant stress this enough. That limb that fell provided wind protection from the rest of the tree. Now that itās gone, the remaining tree may not do well being exposed.
Or at the least have the insurance company hire an abortist to give a full report on the trees health so that you cover your ass in the future.
Very wise words. Thank you!
Oh shit! š³
Oh fuck
Oooof
Good luck my fren
Yikes :( sorry to hear that
Depending on the damage and your deductible, might be worth it to make a claim. Document your labor time too and take lots of pics, as that and the tree removal and the roof repairs should be covered.
If you canāt get someone there asap for the removal and you do it yourself, you might want to grab some tarps, screws and some 1x4 strapping to beat any incoming precipitation and protect your attic insulation and textured ceilings in the living space. Just make sure you lap your tarps up over the peak to prevent any rain from running underneath them.
Iāve done a bunch of these claims in my days as a restoration project manager. And now do the residential and commercial estimating for a good sized tree company.
Judging by the bark and the leaves in the picture it looks like itās a variety of Willow. They are quite susceptible to internal decay because water gets into the bark conclusions in some of the crotches. Often thereās a little to no outward sign of this .
advice is much appreciated.
We have a tropical storm passing by Florida tomorrow so Iām scrambling to dry in the punctured open areas now.
Yes that other crotch is definitely compromised as well. The whole thing should come down for sure.
Oh no!
Oh fack! Everyone okay?!
Booooo. Well, if you didnāt have plans todayā¦ š¤·āāļø
let me know if you need a hand
Yikes. Sorry.
Heaven forbid! So sorry MattA!
Wow, thatās real Poltergeist stuff here !
