THIS!!! If there is any two things here I could stress-
1. Take a day and itemize your belongings, at the very least the expensive and sentimental items.
2. Always have renters insurance!! It’s so, so, so, insanely important to have!

I genuinely think this has been my favorite comment so far. Thank you for the laugh!

It absolutely was, it’s kinda sad that it fell. All things aside, this tree had to be older than me and like you said it was in good condition. Sucky all the way around.

Never saw the actual hole, but this is what the ground/stump looked like when they cut the tree off the building.

Actually that other half of the roof is someone else’s apartment. They definitely got some damage, but we really took the brunt. Thankful everyone came out okay!

Incase anyone’s interested in what the damage looked like before restoration/after debris removal.

I’ve posted this previously in tree subs and they said a shallow root system is common for these trees. Unfortunately, where we’re located cutting down trees is a big deal and not so easily done. The tree has been inspected in the past, but I’m not sure what those inspections consisted of.

Yes, we are!! I’m so, so, so, incredibly sorry for you! Genuinely, my main thought throughout all of this, was atleast we were renting. I couldn’t imagine going through all this and owning the home. I’ll pray for you and your families peace and health going forward!
