Had to check on my neighbor Tuesday night

Couldn't get near the house so got the atv and went over. He was fine, but said that he had 22 downed/damaged trees on his property (but no damage to the house). The trees in his driveway were a good 2-3 foot in diameter. Some that he had planted when he moved in, 30+ years ago. Worst storm he has ever seen. Trees were uprooted. Trees were snapped off. And some were split down the middle (lightning strikes?) Last night (Wed) his driveway was clear... I'm assuming that he knows somebody with heavy duty equipment. He has asthma, emphysema, and heart problems. No way he did that himself. A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort.

No, I'm not being nasty, I'm suggesting that since the trees are of sentimental value, perhaps your neighbor might think about making furniture out of the wood. Lemons=Lemonade Wood=Furniture Just a suggestion to help deal with the heartache. I remember how sick to the stomach we felt after the 1974 tornado in Louisville. You try to find solace wherever you can. Smile, Amy

My little ol' 3-4" (not 3/4") trees are not worth anything, except firewood. chainsaws 'r us A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort.
