Oh dear. No wonder you're worried. Are there neighbors who can help? Mr. iceskater was going to check on our neighbor today and make sure she's ok. She also lives alone and we often help her out with yard stuff. I hope your mom has someone like that close by.

There is a young man who lives next door. If he is home, he would help her out if needed. Hopefully, those trees will stay right where they are (or fall somewhere other than on the house) and all will be well.

I'll probably try to call her after lunch (I am in CDT) to see if the phones are still working and that she is ok. I may try to call my brother too to see if he can make it over to her place to stay with her tonight. Unfortunately, this isn't something that would occur to him to do on his own.
