Trees kill in storms. When I lived in Edmonds WA, wind and trees were an ongoing danger. Utilities above ground, power often out, live wires on the ground, child and Mom killed in car when tree was knocked down by wind on top of the car. The community audited where trees were in danger of falling on power lines. And a number of trees cut down. It was sad but necessary to save lives. Communities need to monitor trees for stability. In this instance, the accident may have been a complete fluke. But with us living in a time when both wind a water can be deadly, we must monitor our trees. I am so sad for those killed and injured. ❤️🙏
