I think of it more as a warning to the other trees.

Those 2 dead red Oaks that fell on my old pole barn hit it dead-center of the roof. High winds last Jan. took them down in the same direction, my barn.
Now I'm just waiting on the ground to dry out so it will support heavy equipment to begin reconstruction.

Nice one! I dropped a medium sized tree last summer and it landed squarely on a t post on the edge of my garden. Drove the thing 3 feet further into the ground. It is going to be a bear to get it out if and when I have to.

To be practical, the odds are roughly 360 to 1. 360 degrees on a compass, and it hit on that one degree. If you have prevailing winds in your area, (it's usually from the north west here in New England) then the odds may be a bit less than 360 to 1. And I would leave it right where it sits.

Pour a bit of old used motor oil down the post. After a day soaking the round will pull up easily

Wouldn't that have the opposite effect? When you put an axe handle on you can soak it in oil to swell the wooden handle. Wouldn't the oil make the wood swell and tighten around the post?

Not in one day, it will lube it enough to pull off. Besides wood is contained inside an axe head and the swelling creates pressure to hold it
