This is a pic out my daughters driveway. Broken polls and lines down everywhere. Gonna be at least a week pge dude said :-(.
They have been saying the oak's are the trees that did most of the damage. It's a little strange because they don't have any leaves now. Could be they soaked up the heavy rain we had so they can't handle the extra weight. Should be plenty of firewood available next year.

I have a giant oak tree growing out of the front of my house, it covers the entire roof.

In the 40 years we’ve had this house, 2 of the 3 oak trees on our property have fallen. One crushed a laborers truck on our neighbors property. The other one fell on the neighbors garage about ten years before.

But California says we aren’t allowed to cut them, by law. So I live under constant threat of being smooshed

I have one behind my back fence where my fire pit is. It's the reason I had to move my veggie garden to the other side of the yard because of the shade. It isn't close enough to damage the house though. I had an ash tree that was blown over after a bunch of rain once, but it barely touched the neighbors roof. I cut it up for firewood, but that stuff is acrid when you burn it.

I burn a bunch of ash, guess I never noticed that.
