1. We're okay, so nobody panic. Some already have, and it doesn't help anyone to panic.
2. Our neighbor's tree uprooted today and fell on our roof. It punctured the porch and caused unknown damage to the roof. We were very lucky. It basically rested and was very slowly crushing the roof. Since the insurance company refused to prevent further damage or help in any way, I called the fire department and they came with chainsaws and ladders. They cut up the most dangerous part of the tree that was sitting on the roof. There is another half of the tree that still needs to be cut down, as it is very unstable and will likely fall on the front yard, front of the porch, and fencing. The roof needs inspection, but it appears that no severe damage has been done and we don't appear to be leaking. We are not allowed to be in the front half of the house, use the front door, or be on the front porch, and the front yard is caution-taped off. It was scary and stressful and time consuming. Our house would be cut in half if not for the fire department, so I have to find about 300 cookies. I'm just posting this here because I know people will have questions and hear about it later and I don't want it confused/confusing.
I can only imagine how huge your neighbor’s tree is! So, when was the tree removed from your house? Was your house badly damaged? I know that no one wanted that incident to happen, but I do hope that your neighbor will help you, at the very least, in fixing your house.
