One of my dead trees did start falling from the top; however, recent strong winds have caused that same tree (dead about five years) to fall on my little house. (Fortunately, only an eave is damaged).

Yesterday, my insurance agent got lost along our Wolfeboro Neck shoreline, and called back to ask,

True, many there are recent structures and, except for mine, addresses aren't adequately numbered. If you have a seasonal place in the area, it might be a good idea to have your place looked over for recent wind damage.
