VALENCIA - A family looked on Monday morning as chain saw-wielding workers perched on their roof to help remove a 5-ton section of a pine tree that fell the day before. Arborists decided to remove the other two trunks from the 80-foot-tall, three-trunk Italian stone pine rooted in a common area uphill from the Avenida Frasca home. ``We thought it was the big earthquake,'' said homeowner Edna Wilson, whose 22-year-old daughter Sarah was asleep in the bedroom below. ``It could have crashed through the roof and killed my daughter.'' Arborist Edwin Vargas, whose tree-care company TruGreen LandCare contracts with the city, deduced the cause of the split was a weak attachment where the multiple trunks fused fuse 1 also fuze n. 1.

Trees in the common areas in the Del Valle tract and two other nearby tracts are owned by the homeowners but maintained by the city, as part of a landscape maintenance district.

He said the landscape maintenance district will pay to remove the fallen pine, which could run $3,000 to $5,000. The Wilsons said they reported the incident to their insurance company, and Palmieri said they can also file a claim with the city's risk management department, which handles property damage claims.
