We have a huge hickory tree growing in back of a house that borders a creek. It leans towards the house. Always has leaned but now it's at least 70 feet high. We are afraid it could fall as a tree not far away recently fell with all the rain. Who can I ask to take a look at it to determine if we could be in danger?

They say a picture is worth a thousand words, but each tree should be thoroughly inspected by a professional.(great pic though!) So many factors have to be considered, that such a decision should not be made from a photograph alone.
A certified arborist can give you an on-site evaluation of the trees' health and safety risk.
