Luckily there's a hotel a mile away so that's likely where we'd head. We also have several friends within minutes that would take us in.

It's an oak tree FWIW.

Oak do tend to fall into the “looks awful but is surprisingly hardy” camp. There’s one by me where the massive tree was entirely hallow - trunk broke in half vertically after the middle filled with water and froze, now it’s literally just half a hollow tree trunk with a beautiful and luscious canopy.

BUT, oaks can send big branches flying as well.

Best of luck. Might be worth making sure the hotel has backup power
