Me too. My wife walks there 50x a day going to feed the birds, hang laundry, take stuff to the compost bin, yard work, etc. Most tree damage is during high winds or storms. This was due to a wet spring that got the tree growing like mad, water for the huge ant colony chewing it out from the insides. Just fell mid morning with no wind. She had walked under that tree 10 times that morning. The broken off branch was cut up and there was some rot where it broke and endless big ants. That was one tree that didn't get completely destroyed by the August 2020 Derecho that took out 1M trees in town. This was behind the house that shielded it from the 140mph winds. Messaged a tree service to take the big remaining limbs off. I can do the rest.
