Upstate SC summer thunderstorms are quick to roll in and just as quick to snap a limb without bringing it all the way down. What's left hanging in the canopy, sometimes called a hangar or widow-maker, can look stable for days before it lets go without warning, often when there's no wind at all to explain it.
This is one of the situations where we'd genuinely rather you call and ask than attempt it yourself. A hung limb doesn't behave predictably once someone starts cutting near it, and the weight and angle that kept it lodged in the canopy can shift the moment the surrounding branches are disturbed.
If your property took any storm damage this summer and something still looks caught up in the branches overhead, it's worth having a trained eye assess it before it becomes a problem on a calm afternoon in your yard.
Did any of this summer's storms leave visible damage in your trees that you're still keeping an eye on?
