Fred,
Glad that all of you escaped any major damage. I was watching some of the news and they never really said a lot about what all was damaged but it was an early report and they probably didn't have everything in yet.
As for the limb, now they may want to cut it off at the trunk. I used to have a huge Cedar tree that had some limbs that stuck clear out to the street and they were going to trim them back for me. They did it with a a bucket truck until they cut the first one that has some of the huge rose bush that used to grow to the top of that tree tangled in it. Then they decided the rest weren't going to hurt anything. I had to have the whole tree removed a few years later as we had some kind of bug that went through here and killed a lot of trees.
