It is never a good option to ignore dropping utility lines or dead trees around your home. Even if a huge tree falls and overlooks your home as well.

We have a big problem with trees causing roof damage here in Florida. Depending on where the tree is located, if there is immediate danger to power lines, your roof, or public safety, the city or county you live in may be responsible for trimming the tree.
