Looks like we are headed to Linton, IN with the chainsaw trailer next week. Bloomington as well

Will you be part of an organized effort? I haven't seen any Bloomington outreach for volunteers yet.

I haven't either and driving through Bloomington every day, I haven't seen very many trees down from the storm. The storm we had last year with the straight line winds were much worse, trees down all over the city!.

We were there too. Often we are reaching individual homeowners with needs. Last winter we worked with a utility in Evansville after the ice storm... But often individuals need help, even if there isn't broad damage like Sullivan, IN 2023. They are mostly neglected if infrastructure is basically ok. Nobody cares unless it affects them. They just get overlooked.
We have assessors in Bloomington and Linton now getting work orders. Then we will show up and clear trees and debris for free, and be on our way.

That looks like our road last ice storm near the creek crossing. No help coming, just get the tractors/saws out and shove stuff of the road.
Just pushed an 20"+ white oak out the road this week. Faster to roll coal and break it around another tree than getting a saw. I'll cut it for firewood this fall.
