This sounds like…overkill to say the least. Passports? Are you fleeing the country?

Honestly the best thing would be to identify any potential widowmakers on the tree and cut them down now. 50mph gusts isn’t all that strong when we’re talking about taking down a big mature tree. Remove the widowmakers and the threat of anything disastrous happening is super minimal if not nonexistent

Haha you're right on the passports count. Makes sense not to carry those.

Initial plan was just to remove the widow maker but the arborist also said the tree is dying, so we're going to do the whole thing.

Timeline is still March tho.

I read it more as not leaving key documents behind in a house that might be compromised which sounds smart to me!

Again, the house will not be compromised. Gusting winds are different than sustained winds. There’s no significant threat to the house
