Re: gardening question

LOL!  I must be babbling agin...
   
Any way to save these trees, especially the red maple? If the main
leader trunk is dead? If I cut it out, it would leave a large U shaped
gap, although the side branches would cover, but I am sure everything
would collect there and infect it anyway...

   
I was also wondering if this is common in tornado's/hurricanes senerios?
Or do I have other issues out there and it was just timing that caused
it?
