Glad your doing ok Noel.

This is damage at my parents house about 30min northwest of here from a storm last Thursday. I think this is the same storm that hit Noel. Most of the storm went west of where I live. We just got some heavy rain and some wind.

This tree used to tower probably 30 feet over the forest canopy below. The tree was split by lightning about a month back and then the storm last Thursday broke the top off. The base of that tree is probably 30"+ in diameter.

Thanks guys. And hopefully you are all doing good.

Few more pictures. And a question. Need opinions on how to getting the stump out !
My little poulan saw did a great job of cutting up the very hard locust tree. Some hard and heavy.
Got about a cord out of it.

So, will 11 garden tractors all tied together, including two Case tractors, pull this stump out. :giggle: :giggle:

Any way, still no power. Getting tired and annoyed. Still so much to do.

Couple more pictures.
Still a big white birch tree to do. At least it’s a softer wood and easier to cut. But many other trees to do too.

Looks like your getting things cleaned up nicely! That’s a lot of work, I think you deserve a nice vacation!

I don’t know what to say about that stump. My first thought is to see if you can get that tracked machine that was in your pictures back and dig it out.
