Unfortunately, the tv stations have to be concerned for more folks than just you.
Severe weather possible for much of Oklahoma Saturday into Sunday

Hate to tell you this but I have been through this before and it is called an act of nature and his insurance doesn’t have to cover it
This may depend on proving negligence. For example, did the tree show any signs of disease or stress (dead limbs, rot, etc.) that might prove it to be a known hazard.
Not a lawyer.
Well, lots of big limbs in the yard. It literally looks like my neighbors big cottonwoods just exploded. No leaks popped up yet. Guess I'll get roofers out here to inspect and start looking at chainsaws. Unless my neighbor decides to be the way he normally is. Then I'll just toss his trees back over the fence.
For those who use Facebook, here are some pics of my Mom's church in Lawton that was devastated by the Saturday night storms.

A massive lightning strike can do stuff like that.
My Dad told of getting up one morning after a bad storm, and saw white somethings scattered around the pasture a little way from the house.
Lightning had hit a large oak, and literally exploded the trunk into varying fence post sized pieces. The bushy top of the tree was sitting on the stump and slivers that remained.
I got to see lightning strike a gumball tree when I was a kid. It was violent as everything went purple and the loudest damn noise I've still ever heard. It was in the front yard, about 30 feet from the garage, where my dad and I were watching it rain spooling reels. It was crazy.
I think my little neighborhood took a pretty good downburst or something. Drove around, and the guy behind me, next to me, and two caddicorner took serious tree damage. No other damage in the hood besides the missing roof sections on the apartments a few blocks north. I can't complain too much... poor dude at the end of the block caught all three of his very mature bradford pears on their new Navigator. Not even sure how the physics worked on that one. They were each on three different corners in his yard.
