Today, I watched one of my neighbor's trees fall into the electrical lines outside my house. This was after he took a chainsaw to the tree. He refuses to cover the damages. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I decided to clear up some storm damage. I carefully cut a tree that was threatening to fall on my house. It fell on my neighbor's house instead. He's taking me to court for damages. FML
Today, my neighbors threatened to sue me because a six-foot branch fell off one of my trees and into their yard, hitting nothing on the way down. FML
Today, the tree that my neighbors have neglected to cut down fell on my car. They claim that by law, they aren't responsible and don't have to pay for it. FML
Today, I woke up at 4AM to the sound of lightning hitting a tree in my backyard, then that tree proceeding to hit my house. Later, my neighbor's tree fell over, which hit our fence, and they're not even home. FML
Today, I finally went to Home Depot to buy a chainsaw to cut down the tree leaning dangerously over my garage. When I got home, I found the tree had fallen and taken out the roof while I was shopping. FML
Today, I was awakened by the sound of chain-saws. Moments later a tree branch came through my roof. FML
Today, I woke up and found that the tree in my front yard was gone. FML
Today, my husband finally got round to cutting down a tree limb in our front yard after months of me begging him. It fell on me. FML
Today, I was overjoyed when someone finally came to my house to get the electricity back up and running. All that was changed to dismay upon finding out they first needed to find a tree trimming and removal service to clean up all the fallen branches on the power lines. FML
Today, I got home to find my truck smashed by a fallen old tree. I was going to have the tree removed next week. FML

Take legal action or call the police, its damage of personal property and clearly you have the evidence in a form of a giant tree.

Ouch. Sorry to hear that OP. Do you have any proof that he made the tree fall?

Take him to court for damages to your property, and add your legal fees. Just take pictures of the giant tree in your power lines and the hacked stump on his property. Problem solved.

He has to cover damages. I'm pretty sure it's illegal for him to improperly cut down the tree, damage you're property, then expect you to pay it.

As " shocking" as this is OP, you can always give the neighbor a nice "jolt" of your anger givin the "current" situation.

Tell the electric company, the police, and a lawyer. I don't think he has a choice.

Refuse to take it on the chin and make a few phone calls. Your neighbor didn't take the necessary precautions to save the surroundings from damage, and has acted like an asshat when confronted with the fact. The city may take care of the lines, but he should have to pay for the tree removal.
