I have wondered - why don’t people secure the trees near their house, with heavy wire, and deep spikes, when high winds are predicted?

Probably because a big tree would need battleship cable and spikes that go 35 feet deep.

LOL--I have a huge oak tree in the back yard with that setup. It came with the house.
