These pictures taken on an actual home inspection.

Nick,
 
I am sending you these pictures.  I wish they were better but it was very cloudy that day.  Behind the house I was inspecting in Naples Florida was a garage where the tree had fallen on the building.  The tree raised up the trusses about 1 foot on the opposite side of the building.  The owner saw that the tree was damaging his garage so he put an extension ladder under it to keep the tree from falling any further.  I am not joking. look carefully at the top of the ladder and you will see that one side of it is pushed into the tree itself.
 

Respectfully,
