Last storm (?2 weeks ago) we had TWO (6 inch where it broke out of the tree, by at least 15 feet long) branches break out of our ~ 60 foot or so douglas fir. Somehow the wind whipped them around and dropped them right at the base of the tree. We had limbed it up to about 20 feet up 2 years ago to avoid this.We were so lucky. Husband says either of them would've killed anyone underneath.

IDK how big or what species your tree is but please be careful.🤔
@Netherbury Just a thought, but you might want to remove the lower (2) branches to make that tree less vulnerable in the wind. Cottonwoods in general are not known for being super strong in the wind. Best wishes with it! ✨💖
@Netherbury I'm hoping your weather has calmed down !
@mims I think it is a cottonwood.
