Our house backs to a green space, and for whatever reason our backyard acts like a magnet for falling trees. This is the fifth tree to crash near our house, though, thankfully, it's the first one to ever do any damage.
In the past, Josh has just sawed off the branches and we have either tossed them back to the green space or into our green waste, but this was kind of a bigger deal. Josh had to call Parks and Rec to come and remove it.
They came with their chainsaws and their woodcutter.
And now, thankfully, all we have to show for this ordeal is a minorly dented fence and a broken shed roof. When we bought the house, I never thought that there would be negatives to living so close to trees, but I guess living away from trees is something I can look forward to in North Dakota.

Crazy! We've been in our house now over 9 years and we have never had a tree fall. I wonder why they like your backyard so much?!? I'm glad your house wasn't damaged.
That is the scariest thing in my opinion. I hate when it gets really windy because I always fear that our trees will fall on our house and kill us. I'm glad that your tree was a far enough distance to hurt anyone.
