Hi again Ruben. I know I've mentioned this before, but not on the LUG.

If you want to see something of what the storm can do:

About a week ago I went back to the same spot to take shots of the 
"after". Can't post them until I get back.

EXTREMELY dangerous in the woods now. You never know when the trees that 
have been toppled and then cut ... you never know when those roots will 
decide to flip back into place. If you're there when they do ... you'll 
be sorry.

I colleague to my wife was sad one day. Her cousin was out clearing his 
woods and got killed. He was working with his 25 year old son. His son 
took his father's death upon himself ... should have been watching out 
for him ... and hung himself three days later. The wife/mother is now 
... in a mental ward.
