Hurricane Sandy treeswork!

Well we are still alive! Absolute craziness for the past 15 days. Today is my first day off! So im in the pub eating, drinking, and uploading some film. Here is some action....

 

Following hurricane Sandy, we are on duty for the Electric dept. to clear fallen trees from the cables. All the power is obviously off! Very high stress work, working as quickly and safely as possible. The care for property, fences is lesser than normal! Once the wires are free, our job is done. We had no clean up!

News! Is bad! And good... Absolute desolation here. I left my place on monday morning. Was out working in the pre hurricane, one street tree uprooted over a road, hung up. Crazy winds! Stayed at Rob's that night, drinking.... the river at the back of his house flooded bad! His basement screwed. We were wading thru deep water trying to get the generator on! Will never forget that night! Next day we were clearing streets. Didnt turn on the headcam. Mental.

 

It really ripped Long Island a new AHOLE! Do a search on youtube for long beach sandy. We are just starting on residential works! Still loads of trees down.

 

And we had a snow storm which caused loads more tree damage!

 

Oh mother nature you beauty!

Stay safe, been thinking about your progress since Sandy hit yins location and surrounding areas. 500 attendees for the TCIA Show canceled this year so they could work with recovery efforts in the NE. I hope Charlotte will not be clobbered next Novemebers show?. Take care, as always.
