Should I worry about tree falling and crushing my house?

I don’t know if i’m Over worrying about this but want your opinion on this.

Got this house everything is looking good, meets the 1% rule.

Only thing I don’t like about this house is it got like 5 or 6 trees in the back yard. The trees belong to the neighbors in the back. 

The backyard is huge, it got like  8000sq feet of space. The trees are like 60 feet away from the house. 

They are not huge trees. The tree look healthy. 

What I worry about is having huge storm and the tree falls on the house and might crush the house. I don’t care if the house got crush or not, what I care about is the tenant living inside. If the tree crush the house and hit the tenant too, it would be really bad. 

I do not know for a fact, if the tree falls and it would crush the house. It might just be lay on top of the house. Because the tree is 60 feet away from the house, I know for a fact only top part of the tree will hit the house, not the main body of the tree. (If it falls)  Plus, I will put fence around the house, if the tree falls, the fence will loosen the impact if it falls. 

I know I am over thinking and those tree are driving me crazy because I keep thinking worst case situation. 

  I am trying to upload some picture for you to see, so you will have better idea of what i’m Talking about.
