Got a phone call today while in the Calgary airport from my good buddy warning me about last nights storm. I have a couple pictures from one of his rental houses. Lady was asleep at the far end of the house and a couple were sleeping downstairs. Everyone thought a plane had crashed. Like a karate chop into the kitchen. Tree is around 2 at the butt and a 100 long. Root ball is about 15 wide as some of it is below grade. The power of nature is amazing.
Yikes! My daughter just moved to Kelowna. Hopefully no Acadians, Beaumonts or other vintage tin was damaged. I know there is some nice vintage tin in that area.
I have one of the biggest trees in our neighborhood in my back yard. I make sure the arborist takes care of it periodically so that it doesn't come down and take out a roof or fence. I saw a neighbor's pine tree take out a Pathfinder (a Nissan fortunately) when it fell.
Chevelle is safely in the garage.
I remember years ago seeing a mall parking garage collapse in Vancouver that claimed a 1964 Beaumont. Not good.

I don't judge a man by how far he's fallen, but by how far back he bounces - Patton
I recently reported a rotted power pole on our property to Maritime Electric for this very reason (I did the old hammer test, and it proved to be hollowed out/rotten) ... it was in close proximity to my car shed and a barn. Turned out to be hollow from the ground up! They replaced it.

Insurance is covering damage to the house and removal of portion of tree that is on the house. Making owner responsible for removal of the rest of the tree. Crazy as it sounds. I think then it may be a little contest between insurance companies as tree is from the neighbours property. Pretty sure they will be trying to get the claim back from the neighbors provider.
They were talking about trees on CBC radio last week and the local arborist for the city stated that a tree is the responsibility of the owner of the land where, basically, the trunk and majority of roots are located. Not sure if it's the same in BC but it sounds like a somewhat standard rule.

... but if branches "intrude" on the non-owners property (an imaginary vertical property line in the air), that property owner is allowed to trim/cut them back within reason (without causing injury or stress to the tree).
