Default Too close for comfort

From yesterday...it won't take much for this tree to go. Standing from the street it looks like the entrance lines are holding up this huge tree. Picture on the right is the same tree as it leans over the house.

Man that chimney was a mess. I could literally poke my finger through the wood siding. There was some nice water damage to the interior as you would expect.

I had a remodel once where the neutral had been rubbed in two where it rested against a tree, this can be dangerous on many levels. Did you notice any lights flickering?
