Ike Hits Cleveland, Ohio

[Mirage]

Back yard tree came down. It's my tree in the neighbor's yard. Not good. You know what I will be doing tonight. Rachel got off school - a lot of people without power here. Wind gusts were in the 50-60 mph range. I can't imagine what higher winds would do.....

Oops!

Neighbors NEVER happy about stuff like that!

I had a client ask me to drop a tree before it fell on the neighbor.

I said, "No, Thanks." and agreed it would hit the neighbor's house.

Two week s later it got the neighbors car, AND house.

He called me to clean it up.

I got millions in liability insurance, but it's my obligation to protect that insurance company, too!

Tree was five ft diameter at the stump, and about 120ft tall!
At least he got a years firewood out of it..

I got some bad advice from guys in my office. Told me it was my responsibility. Found out not so. But I am going to help the guy out Also, my brother could use the firewood.

Looks like you need to have the power company come out and, at least, trim it off their lines. That should be on them.

Bob, I think you ARE responsible for your tree...

Unless there's some kind of local ordinance that says you may not cut them.
Then you and neighbor should have put in for a permit to cut it back, because of hazard.
Formally.
If turned down, it is fault, and liability of the municipality.
