This was a 50 year event for Broward. The left coast learned the ropes

from Charley last year.
The reality was Charley broke up most of the old trees, non-code
conforming houses and bad polles last year so we were a little harder
target.
The wind came from the other direction so some things Charley missed
took a direct hit this time.
We still have a lot of tree debris. Probably half of what Charley did.
Last time I filled a semi from my yard alone, This year it is about
half that. The rows on the side of the road are only 3-4 feet high
instead of 7 or 8. It is like that all over. They still haven't firmed
up a removal plan. I think they are going to make a few sweeps with
the regular recycle trucks and see what they can get. If the
holmeowner is willing to cut and bale the stuff up they will take it
but some of this stuff will need a claw truck. I had some tree trunks
I had to drag around front with the car.

You make a good point. If we are hit with another storm like this next
year, the weak trees would already be gone and power would certainly be
less effected.

I also have enough to fill a trailer unless they chip it on the spot. I
wasn't home when they came by this week so I don't know how they are
handling all of it. I'll be dragging the rest to the curb this weekend.
