That's perfect wording.

We've had trees come down, and seeing where a broken limb

I'm glad your trees only gave a close shave to the house. Good karma.
It could have been much worse.
right, right. upon reflection, I should have given top billing to the good news that I was not hurt. because I was aaaallll over that area cutting up the first downfall where you now see more trunks. I had no ideal I was walking around in the landing zone. more specifically, I had no idea the tree was that fragile. the night the second part came down, it wasn't windy at all. it was raining heavily, but just straight down. I think it must have become so saturated and so heavy that it leaned and cracked and fell with a crash.

Seriously. I would have been killed.
