Sure. Note that the connectors the cable company uses will likely be
better quality than what you might find at the local store. I'd say you
can get by, at least short term doing it yourself. Take your time and
follow the directions carefully. Make sure you don't have any of the
grounding sheath touching the center conductor.
You may want to follow-up with the cable company when things return to
normal for them to install a high quality weather resistant connector.
There is the possibility that the tree falling stretched the cable and
broke the center conductor. I'd also look closely at the part the
broken end attached to for any signs of it stretching.
