Johnny Reb looses some major limbs

On September 1, our favorite and largest red oak lost 3 huge limbs. The broken limbs would easily be the equivalent of many other fairly large trees. There was no wind when it fell but there had been light rain in the night. I suspect that when the resserection fern that covers it soaked up water along with the wet leaves and developing acorns,it just got to be too much weight to bear. I am very sad over it, but am glad it did not fall on anybody or anything.
