No argument there although mine is off limits for a short while. :-\
* At 2 am, my wife heard a loud noise and got up to peek out the back yard window.
Snow on neighbors huge tree limb versus hot tub.
Hoping the length and angle it's setting at minimized damage. Cover might have some injury but leaving sit until advised by my agent. Plenty of pictures though.

yikes! If I were you, I would cut that tree back...You have every right to do so if it hangs over onto your property!

Can't explain how fortunate we are other than to call it Mother Nature's perfectly executed Prank. :o
Been here 13 years and those trees next door have been little other than a nuisance with their weepy limbs and thin leaves that are a pain to clear and rake.
This issue will definitely start the conversation with our neighbor's trees though. He stopped by last night and today, we will do some clean up. It's all my mess in my yard but I'm not/wasn't bashful about asking for some help. It's all his tree !! ;)
My insurance contact said neighbors are not liable (or their insurance isn't) on something like this …. Must be due to some automatic coverage of my own personal property / home owners coverage then ? I thought I'd heard of exceptions where the owner is negligent or irresponsible though.
* I'm not making any claim because Mother Nature's Prank was this soft limb- a 30 foot long monstrosity likely a snap and slow motion teetering to the top of the tub at such a low pitch angle and extending to the ground on the far side, the impact must have been minimal. I might have a slight tear in the cover enough to glue almost like a finger nail scratch. THAT's IT !! :D
I won't kid you , it was heavy and cumbersome still attached at the break point 15 feet up and a few feet over the fence/property line. After realizing I'd likely not get any immediate help and being Halloween, I took my time, some level of patience I didn't know I had, ropes and wood to protect the cover and pivoted it to one side. Ropes kept me a safe distance while I could motivate the tree limb without too much worry. I didn't want this to be my 'final' project. :-X
My only interest was investigating the cover, making sure the tub under was intact, water level, service panel area etc... Pumps and heater sounded like everything was cycling properly and after all the checks, found nothing amiss. After looking at the corner and other side of the house where the branch top ended, I was again relieved at the good fortune inspecting the 240V GFCI to see the box itself was narrowly missed and easily could have been ripped from the side of the house.
It's a long story and sorry about that but I wish you all a happy day-after Halloween and although not typical luck for me, I hope everyone else's future trials and challenges are met with similar good fortune !
