Manic day yesterday, after a morning of more humdrum large oak limbs and Scots pines over roads we got to this good sized beech (36" dbh) that had obliterated a yew, 2 sickies and old wrought iron fence, not the phone line tho as that was taken out in the last blow n not back on yet,

Nice failure on this American Oak?? last week. Tree had a small fb of Kretz on the base but was very difficult to spot.

Yikes.  How much/little are you going to need to remove to make it safe?  That's a serious concentration of new habitat there.

Being left as is, it's in a woodland area within a new conservation compartment.

Both of these failed within 48 hours of the first rain to end the drought.
Although the oak had other fungal factors to aid its failure.
