Greetings, losing a large shade tree is tough.  I see the size of what fell, but I don't understand the second photo.  Can you send a photo that shows a little better where the limb was attached to the tree?  Or - is the branch that fell actually 1 of the two trunks that appear to be in the second picture? 

The tree lost the limb here. I circled it. The other photo was of the bark I think I’m not sure which photos you are viewing and that what one of the tree cutters said was pressure points on the tree so it couldn’t be saved. 

Here’s the photo

Here is another photo of where the limb broke from.

Tamara.  Thank you so much for the additional photos.  I'm glad you were able to take photos before you painted the wound. 

The things of note to me are 1) the decay in the center of the tree which can be seen where the branch broke off (before it was painted).  It impacts the remaining branches ; 2) the tree's proximity to the home, and 3) poor attachments.  

I would classify this as a hazard tree, and there is a risk to your home and the people in it if it is not removed.  

I would classify this situation as a hazard.   My concern is that if the tree that lost the branch is the only part taken down,  the tree next to it will have lost support and could become more dangerous.   If it were me, I would remove all of this. 

If the person who was out is a certified arborist, they will have the best assessment for you.

You're welcome, good luck.
