re: Should this situation face some sort of liability or penalty?

Hell no. That's ridiculous.
A tornado can take anything off of one property and drop it on another.
That's like saying if a tornado takes out your house and drops some paper from your printer a few miles away that you are guilty of littering.
Any wind strong enough to transfer any object that would otherwise be considered immovable is an act of God, not negligence.

This wasn't immovable which is my point. It was damaged and neglected to the point that it was a liability.

Is that your opinion or did the parish deem it blighted and a liability?
Posted on 1/2/17 at 5:58 pm to tgrbaitn08
Parish doesn't do that here unfortunately. The one incorporated city in this Parish does but the Parish Government only enforces codes on new houses and mobile homes. Everything else is grandfathered in prior to 2004'ish. They don't even have building codes for sheds but they make you buy a permit for them as a money grab.

Even in a tornado are you still responsible for your trees if they fall onto a neighbor's house or yard?
No

Seriously though, if your dad is relying on something like an oxygen concentrator or something like that, there needs to be a back up plan such as a simple generator or oxygen tanks to get him through an outage.

He's fine for now. We will work out a backup plan for the future. I have power at my office 15 minutes away he can come to if things get dire.
Posted on 1/2/17 at 6:04 pm to stout
If you are comfortable saying what kind of stuff he relies on I could tell you what you need to do as a back up plan.

Sounds like you need to move them into a yuppie neighborhood with a HOA where you can be the president and stick your nose in everyone else's business...

It might change after our trip to Houston this week but he's fighting lung cancer so you can imagine it's a bit of stuff. Also the heat and humidity from no a/c affects him

If there was no contractual obligation to maintain the property, there isn't much anyone can do

What's a 'yuppie neighborhood'??
Whatever it is, I'd probably rather live there than in the sticks next to Jim Bob with the camo spray painted camp truck that lacks a catalytic converter and his cousin t-Roy living in the front yard in an Airstream.

Don't want to come across like a jackass, but here's the deal: This is your fault. Not technically, but if you look at it that way, and act accordingly, you'll be at peace with this much more easily.
You know your dad relies on electricity.
You know electricity is not 100% guaranteed.
You (hopefully) have the ability to provide a back-up for him.
Who cares about the weather or the farmer or that shed.
Take it as a personal responsibility and establish some sort of backup. That way you don't have to worry as much about any of the factors that can disturb electricity.

It's a place where everyone pays dues to their HOA and the president power trips about someone's sprinkler system not running 5x a week and running down his property values. You'd love it

People are liable for their trees that fall into neighbors yards so why not buildings?
Nope. Unless the tree was clearly rotted and the owner had actual or constructive notice. The tree may be rotted on the interior, but if still green and flowering the owner is not responsible for resultant damage if it collapses on a neighboring property.
There is no longer strict liability in Louisiana.

Could've occurred with someone's table umbrella ...
