The kayak trailer tongue was five feet in the air with a large limb resting on the back of the trailer, a nearby retaining wall and likely the slower speed it came down probably saved it. Took hours to extract it but I think it’s ok. I have days of clean up ahead, tapping the high roof will be a challenge.

that sucks... at least no windows are broken and the house is standing... we got spared here, a lot of pine needles, but not a single branch... I have a 26" Husky that's my ice saw.. it is a cutting machine.. good luck with the repairs

New pruning sawblade is on the UPS truck today. Screws into an extension pole (up to 24'). I have a lot more need of it now than when I ordered it a few days ago... There are four hung up smaller branches and one large widow maker hung up in a choke cherry. That one needs to be roped so it won't roll into the deck/railing/house when it gets cut free. Just cleaning my own place. Not offering to do clients'. Too physical and young guys out there to do it with less recovery time needed. I already had my tree guy scheduled and confirmed for Monday! (he was supposed to be here in August)
