I want to share a few things to do after the storm.

Sometimes, broken limbs may still be lodged in trees, but can easily and unexpectedly fall. Loggers call these “widow-makers.”

Look for trees leaning against or touching downed phone lines or power lines – a tree in contact with a power line, and the ground at the base of the tree, can be energized and dangerous.

Anyway, Keep up the good work…

Chris
