Storm Update day 6

The power came up to my office today and servers are online, so we can go back to work Monday. I have put over 100 hours on the little Winco at home, time so far split between McCormick T47 and Ford 6610. The 6610 is primary on it, but I need it to pick up brush.

We took down and cleaned up 8 Maples yesterday.

We sort of took down and cleaned up about same number of Cherry today. There are four huge ones of mine down on church yard next to me, think those will be target for tomorrow.

I was really impressed, the 6610 and Westendorf TA26 with forks on could haul a whole 12" maple. We just felled them and picked up with the forks. We would have spent ten times more time if we had worked them up.

They are hoping to have most power back up by the upcoming Tuesday, hope I am in the most group.
 
those home generators are the best. the one i have will run water pump the furnace most of the lights in house.
furnace to heat house when 0 or colder. water pump so cows can drink lots of drop cord to keep cow water thawed out.

We need rain here in S.E. Ohio but I sure don't want what you folks got. We did get a little rain yesterday morning but then it was in mid 80s yesterday afternoon so it didn't do a lot of good. I'm grateful for what we did get, just wish we'd get about that much every day for a week then maybe I'd have a 2nd cutting of hay. You guys be careful out there with the cleanup.
 
I traveled through Fulton and Clinton the following morning. Tree trimming has not been a priority for those areas for some time. The Windmill in Fulton escaped damage. A lot of corn from the Mississippi through Whiteside county was laying at 45 degrees. CM.
