I had a feeling about this season and told my neighbor to arrange for some tree topping for safety reasons this spring.

She didn't believe what I was saying.

I expect to be making our own electricity for a week or two here in MD

The last time this area of MD was hit by a powerful hurricaine was over 110 years ago. Virtually all the trees back then were laid down.

The last great wind here was 4 years ago with 70 mph gusts from Hurricane Fred.
