No one is liable for an act of nature. The neighbors own home insurance policy would cover damages to his home. It does not matter if it's your tree, the neighbors tree or one blown in from down the street.
Answer
If negligence can be proven, in that it's reasonable obvious that the limb should not have been hanging over onto the yard (i.e., the tree is diseased, the limb presented an obvious danger in wind), then it's incumbent upon the landowner on whose property the tree is growing to properly trim it.

∙ 15y agoIn Massachusetts, a tree is blown down during a storm and falls across property lines. Each owner's insurance is responsible for removal and damages from the portion of the tree that fell on their property. In another case, when a tree has become hazardous and the owner has been notified by certified mail that it should be removed, he ignores the request and the tree comes down causing damages to the neighbor, proof of that notice might help the neighbor to prevail in a lawsuit.
