What experiences have you had with falling branches or trees?

I live in Kansas. After storms or straight line winds there are always big branches, even whole trees down the next day. But I’ve never actually witnessed one coming down from beginning to end.

It is SUPER windy today. It’s the kind of wind that is kind of scary because you don’t know WHAT it could throw at you. Cars. Houses. Cows.
I was on my back deck, which is covered. Suddenly I heard a really loud “CRAAA AA KKKKK!” I didn’t know what it was, but it didn’t sound good and I instinctively ducked, looking up and to the left, where the sound was coming from. Not 10 feet away a big old tree branch came down from very high up on a huge elm tree in the back yard. It was a perfectly healthy, leafy branch too. It didn’t make much noise at all when it hit because of the leaves.
It was kind of wild. Maybe I should get out more.

You ever have a tree fall on you?
