We have hundreds of 100-foot tall 3-foot diameter trees here. You would be surprised about how much damage they can do to a house.

"We have hundreds of 100-foot tall 3-foot diameter trees here."

Well, I guess everything's bigger in Alabama. It's hard to find a west-side Houson subdivision with "hundreds of 100-foot tall 3-foot diameter trees." It is prairie and bottom land. Further, since 90% of those houses went in after WWII as planned subdivisions (and probably 50% were built after 1980) the trees have not had a chance to get monsterously tall. In fact, since most developers used ash and other fast-growing, short-lived trees, many of these subdivisions are seeing the second generation of trees getting planted.

You might have a point. In 2100. I'll be dead by then.
