Don't know about your location, but the winds were pretty good here yesterday. We kept power, but lost cable and internet. A quick walk up the block revealed what I consider to be a fairly compelling and likely reason. I was able to conclude my investigation ahead of schedule and under budget.
Checking back on it reveals more punk than you'd want and a bunch of hollow limbs. And a nod to Murphy and his law. The property owner JUST had 2-3 similar trees taken out. Even more bizarre, he left for CA the day before... Ugh.
That broken stump is at least seven feet tall.
