Woman suffers minor injuries after tree falls on Oakland home 

These things happen. About 15 tears ago in very similar type storm a 90 foot Monterey Pine came down on my house. I was standing by the window looking at the severe rain and wind, thinking to myself "It's nice to have a roof over your head in this kind of weather", when the tree began to head my way. They fall kind of slowly at first, then it nearly sliced my house in half. Being right there I was able to go on the roof and spread tarps out to reduce rain intrusion, then I took a pole saw and reduced the weight of the tree by cutting off all branches not touching house. When the tree service guys came they had to go in the attic to cut some of the branches. I feel for these folks, they are in for a long slog with insurance, reconstruction etc.

And also I'd like to consider, if the city didn't follow through with, what the family considered a hazardous situation, were there other sources available for the family and if so, did the family pursue them?? Just asking

We pay attention after. Prevention has always been sideswiped by what it actually takes for ( me, you, them, that, those and us) to move forward with what is right?? It's been 2 years since the city received the agreement to move forward. So now what does the city do???? CHANGE THE LANDSCAPE!!! So happy the family is ok and are living testimonies to the goodness of God

Accidents waiting to happen. Rather than being reactive, how about assessing big trees during violent weather and being proactive by cutting them down if deemed dangerous. Simple assessment: “Is this tree likely to give way-and if so, which direction is it likely to tumble ?”

Don't blame this on the city! Heck you had the chance to move when the last disaster happened! Trees are all around us and you chose to live there. CHOICES!! I feel for you and the unknown but in this case, you knew it was bound to happen!!!

I hate this weather!!!

Not surprising that City of Oakland did nothing, that's their MO.

This is reportable?
