Re: storm damage
Under the facts you present, the law will not hold your neighbor legally responsible. The law requires that a person have notice of a dangerous condition of the tree, i.e. dead tree. Thus, their homeowners policy will not come into effect under these circumsntances. However, your own homeowners policy should cover this event.

Re: storm damage
Most likely. Also, read your homeowners policy to see what is covered.
Have you spoken with your neighbor? If so, what do they say?
