Several years ago, my insurance agent called because a hurricane was
heading towards us. He told me that if we had any dead or dying trees,
to have them taken down immediately, because if one of those trees fell
and hit the house, it would not be covered by insurance, because I knew
the tree was dead or dying. If a healthy tree fell and hit the house,
then they would pay, which did happen during Hurricane Alicia.
These two trees looked healthy, but we knew they had been hit by
lightening, so they had to go. I was taking photos and Louie came to
help. The second photo is a tree that hit my brother's lake house.
