Lee County is working on the debris but they are talking about 2.5
millions of yards of "hort" in our county. I have a big pile of little
stuff (logs the size of your leg) in the field next to my house that
you can see from space. I am also piling up logs that are almost 3
feet in diameter in front of my house. I really do not want to drag
them down the road because the chain will be tough on the asphalt.

The west coast got hit a lot harder than the east coast. Irma came on
shore in the county below me at a Cat 4 and was a Cat 3 when it came
over my house.
I lost a lot of trees.

Feel your pain...still have remnants from the big ice/snow in January
that haven't gotten cleaned up...the county closed the burn collection
pile well before had sufficient time to get all the big stuff down so
been having to just deal piecemeal with what can in between the
necessary other stuff. Finally gave up the idea of being able to burn
all the really large stuff (2-ft and up) so opened bulk account at the
land fill...it's still $35/T but other than that it'll be piled all
around the place for years...so whatchya gonna do...

Can't imagine how much more would have if had that kind of wind,
too...I've never seen ice do so much damage as did this storm, I suppose
because it was late and we'd had enough warm weather the sap had started
running and stuff was already partially leafed out so just so much more
surface area...
