This morning, a fierce storm passed through our neighborhood with 70mph winds and intense rain. We had five trees come down at the River House, one across the driveway and one just missing our garage. Our neighbors to the south were less fortunate. A tree came down on their sunroom for the second time in five years. Mercifully, no one was hurt even though they were in an adjacent room at the time. Within minutes, a dozen neighbors showed up to render assistance. I used my chainsaw to help remove limbs and we eventually cleared all but the main trunk. Working on a ladder inside the house, I was able to section and remove the large limb resting on the roof clearing the way for a temporary tarp. Another neighbor had a tree blocking their walkway and I was happy to clear that as well. I have a full day of consulting tomorrow and plan to spend most of Wednesday clearing our yard.
