Update on Tulsa Ice Storm

I spent most of the day either stripping branches, sawing branches/limbs, chainsawing limbs, moving wood, or helping others. I loaned our chainsaw to a neighbor, then we finished off most of 3 houses. The two neighbors had more damage (just a lost chunk of fence) than my house. I'll post some pictures of the wood collection soon.

Here is a picture of that truck from Tulsa Ice Storm images:

You can kinda see the crimp on the bed wall where it meets the driver's side of the cab.

Contrast that with the one down the street, which I saw after the limb had been removed. You can see the limbs here:

Here is a closer image:

And here is one from the side a bit - you can see that the probably took a chainsaw to the limb while it was on the cab. If you compare the two trucks, I bet if the limb on the first one had fallen 6 inches away, it would have crushed the cab as well. For the size of the limbs that came down there, both the house and the truck were lucky.

I don't think you can buy a chainsaw in Tulsa right now. But you can hear them all day. I know my son was proud at one point to tell a caller on the phone that his mother was slow to get there because she was too busy running a chainsaw.
