Good point.I have had to cleanup behind a few tornado over the years. Probably the most dangerous chainsaw work you can ever do. trees twisted, some up rooted, and a lot just bent over from bigger trees falling on them. I have always kept a long cable to do this type of work. Anything that I can pull on down or off top of something bent and twisted, I just hook to the truck and yank. It takes time to do it that way, but it beats the heck out of getting slapped by a big limb that was under pressure. Polesaws are your friend for this type of work. Take your time and besafe
Guys will also put longer bars on polesaws for freeing larger limbs and trunks. If you have to cut at an angle that 8-12" bar runs out of reach pretty quickly. You can put a longer bar on there and although it will cut pretty slow it will work.
