Me & my housemates from different floors rushed out to the 2nd floor back patio to see the fallen tree. It landed on top of the hot tub, an electrical outlet, the neighbour's fence & some lawn furniture in our yard's 1st floor back patio. Peta [1 of my housemates] whipped out her camera & took pics of the fallen tree. Kenji [other housemate] is contacting a tree removal company to send some dudes to remove the fallen tree, piece by sawed-off piece. The tree's inner trunk was rotten, termite-devoured, thereby causing it to fall unexpectedly. I'm not going to forget this anytime soon.

a tree fell on my house too .... your description of the base of the tree sounds exactly like the base of the tree that fell on my roof.
first thing my dad did when i told him about it was call the insurance agent for two reasons (i don't judge his reasons, it's his house and his insurance agent)
a) on the off chance that there is roof or fence damage.
b) on the off chance that someone might give him a check to pay someone to take the tree out. provided that it is not obviously a job for a professional, he plans on taking the tree out himself and pocketing the money....
EPS, I don't know anything about you or what's been happening but you sound like you're going through a hell of a lot of crap. I'll be thinking of you...
