Yes, those dense small leaves get wet and the weight snaps the limbs off. My parents had one in their backyard that did that three times. The third time it damaged the roof of the house and out came the chain saw. Paving stones, a large round table with umbrella and chairs replaced it.
Bummer about the roof but it could have been much worse. Ours are street trees and the city said they are protected and can’t be removed. Xhance helps me cope.
