The worst damage in Charlotte from 1989 Hugo occurred due to big old trees toppling—especially the oak trees. Inland hardwoods and pines do not handle gusty winds, expecially when the clay ground is soaked. If you have big trees that could breach your structure...have a contingency plan in place.

We had a micro-burst two years ago that took out a 100 year old twin red oak that fell into a similar age hemlock so we had it cut down.

Hopefully nothing else will succumb to gravity next week.
