The day day before we had two arborists out to quote removing an Alder that was of concern. The first was unwilling to attempt it, and the second said they could do it and would do it the next day (today).

Unfortunately…

The tree fell in the night, and cracked the one floor joist

Mess everywhere, stud ejected and laying on the ground (bottom right)

Here you can see the nails on the bottom plate where the stud used to be! Shockingly, the top/bottom plates and the stud were all undamaged! That’s crazy.
