Made a promise to watch out for a family near central Florida without Dad home.  Tree came down and blocked their house exit so me and the boys took a pre-loaded truck, tools and headed out late last night to assist.
trees-and-power-linesWorked chainsaws with shop lights and generators all night to clear 3 houses, then four, then five… well, you get the picture; and make sure all is ok. All is good.
Trees cleared, stacked, everyone safe.  Roofs check, all ok. Promise fulfilled.
While we worked through night, several moms, kids and a bunch of neighbors -super nice peeps- made boxes of sandwiches for relief workers etc… seemed like a party.  God, how we all love this country.
Daybreak, packed up and headed to into FP&L staging area where they were waiting to hook up with line crews from Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia prepping to head north along FL, GA and SC coast.  We gave the scruffs the styro-coolers of food, sandwiches, snacks and drinks to pass out along the way.  More awesome people.

Arrived home, showered, crashed (power nap), and catching up now.

Lots of power lines down, but we laughed because all the Trump signs seemed to be still standing.  Almost seems like a metaphor….

….or something!
