Storm damage to trees is often gut wrenching. But, I suspect that some 
of the damage would have occurred regardless of what pruning had been 
done in the past. It is not possible to predict every limb failure in 
every circumstance, and no amount of cabling, bracing, pruning etc will 
make every tree resistant to ice storms or other extreme weather events.
