New fallen branches, just from today

The branches shown in the above drawing were big enough to break a windshield or seriously hurt someone. I moved them out of the street and they were heavy.

LEWIS TREE TO INSPECT TREE BEING ELECTRIC LINES ARE IN VICINITY - WAITING FOR THEIR RESPONSE

Recently the tree dropped a branch so big that it blocked half the road, and a county crew had to cut it up and remove it. A month or so later, another branch fell. I moved it myself but it easily could have hurt someone or damaged a vehicle. In a few weeks, school will be open and kids will be walking under the tree to get to the bus stop. There's many large dead branches just waiting to fall and hurt someone.

Please cut the tree down.

Another branch fell today and is partially blocking the street so I had to call it in. The mailman had just gone under it about 15min before it fell, and the kids were coming home from the bus stop about 1-2 hours earlier. Will someone please trim or cut down the tree before someone gets hurt?

Huge branch in the road. Please don’t wait until something falls on the kids at the bus stop.
