My neighbors house literally exploded because of tree in his front yard.

There was a big storm and a lightning strike hit the tree whose roots were around the gas line. The gas line exploded into the house and blew out all the windows on the first floor and dealt catastrophic damage besides. No one was seriously hurt miraculously but it was loud enough that I legitimately thought a plane had crashed.

Not yet but soon...an urban farmer friend of mine planted Sequoias below the power lines running through her property, once they reach the lines she'll have the company move the lines because they're protected.

Not quite what you're looking for but I needed to share it.

I’ve seen a gazebo pulled apart by wisteria. It was literally pulling it apart, nails and all

I've seen kudzu pull down a house. Wasn't instant, or even fast really. But just by growing over it and the various tendrils doing their thing, it collapsed.

There's been a few power plant explosions that have caused complete destruction of nearby buildings but not something I've seen personally

No source or anything but I find it insane that plant roots like trees can make cracks in and penetrate even poured concrete.

Crazy
