'This has been a nightmare': When a healthy tree fell from two women's yard during a storm and damaged neighbor’s shed, the uninsured neighbor demanded they pay $5,500 for the damage, suing them when they refused, despite laws claiming they aren't liable

We've never claimed to be lawyers and our advice is often times more of a 'suggestion' than based on facts…But from what we do understand from this story is that these two women have been placed in a very complicated, very unfair episode of Neighborhood Drama. During an intense and damaging storm, a tree from their backyard ended up falling onto their neighbor's property, damaging his shed. They kindly addressed the situation by asking for insurance, but were met with an aggressive reaction. He claimed he didn't have insurance and threw a bunch of random numbers at them, demanding they pay for the damage. 

However, unless they called up Mother Nature and asked her to purposefully sabotage his shed (which is what he seems to think), it's not truly their fault, nor is the fact that he doesn't have a proper insurance plan. So they refuse…a decision that makes things x100 more complicated, as he took the requested number, doubled it, and began the process of suing these poor women! How could someone be that dramatic…? Either he really needs the money or is just an extremely difficult human.
