I am speechless. Unbelievable. I hope no people were stuck out in that. I wonder if it could kill you. Your heart must have broken and everytime you look out you must feel so distressed.

I have had 2 experiences with brugs damaged to the core. I realize no where near how your brugs have been injured. One was girdled all the way around to the center core at the base. All the tissue was gone for 360 degrees. X might know what the central core is called. I was sure it was a goner. But it actually lived and even suckered. It is a huge tree now.

The second picture is the heathly top of it, taken the same day. It was taken in January so there are no leaves.
