There is in fact no meat at all! Trees are entirely plant based 🙂

How much will it cost you when the rest of that tree falls and kills someone?

That’s past urgent, you need it gone before the next storm hits.

You already won the lottery by that limb not causing massive damage to the house.

Not urgent. The major risk just solved itself. Now have it inspected by an arborist and do a reasonable level of pruning to reduce risk of this happening again.
Don’t do what everyone else does and throw the baby out with the bathwater

It’s dead, Jim.

The picture shows a few points of concern that warrant a second look but honestly it’s hard to give useful advice from these pictures. The limb that failed appears to be a weak union. You should get an in-person assessment to assess the structure and vigor of the tree. If you’re interested in retaining the tree, I’d recommend meeting with a TRAQ arborist.

Most of risk has broken off and safely landed on the ground without damaging the house. Some trees are very considerate in that regard when they fail. If I were hired to deal with this I’d cut the longest higher branches way back, ideally at any remaining forks and give it a new compact balanced structure and then I’d return 2-3 times times each growing season to shape all the sprout growth and in a decade it’d be one of the most beautiful trees in town. I’ve done this successfully many times!
