A shattered splintered stub where the leader used to be, not a clean break; broken material still hung up in the crown, caught on lower limbs; a vertical crack or split running down from the break into the main trunk; bark peeled away in a long strip below it; a crown suddenly lopsided; the top resting on a roof, fence, deck, or into the service drop. Also check the ground: lifted soil or a raised mound on the side opposite the lean means the root plate moved too.

Two separate problems arrived at once. The immediate one is unsupported mass suspended in the air — hung limbs and cracked-but-attached wood have no predictable timing and come down with no wind at all. The longer one is that a torn top is a wound the tree cannot close, dropping a decay column straight down the center of the stem and leaving no leader to rebuild from. Whether this tree has a future is a question for next month. Whether anyone should be standing under it is a question for right now.
This is normally a storm damage cleanup job, which around here runs $400 to $4,000 depending on size and access. Treat that as a range, not a quote — nobody can price it without seeing it.
