    Probably coincidental. I’ve never seen or heard of trees coming down due to heat. Heavy rain and/or strong wind, or the weight of snow and ice. That’s about it. If anything it would prevent it since branches are more flexible when warm. They snap easier when cold.

    Does excess heat cause weak trees to split and break off?

    Someone named “Rootchopper” is asking this question? I detect a wee bit of misdirection . . .

    Uh, Mark, he mentions the “top portion of a tree” and a “big limb,” not the roots.
