Monday, storms tore throuhg parts of NC doing some major damage (see link below):

I know we are all in this business to make money, but occasionally, I get called in to do some "disaster recovery" work. I worked all day yesterday with crews of volunteers cleaning up in areas where home owners would not be in a position to hire tree services to do cleanup. The "tree vultures" were everywhere! I bet we saw a few dozen beat up pickup trucks circling neighborhoods with 3-4 people in the cab and beat up saws and ropes in the bed, looking to make quick money. There were some really professional crews hard at work. Most of the work is downed trees. There is some climbing work needed. There is not much room for bucket trucks yet in the neighborhoods where I worked.
If any of you guys have time / desire to help out, the local community and churches would love the assiatance. If you want to do some paying storm cleanup, the landscape is full of trucks already staged for the quick money.
There is a tree removal volunteer coordination point at Oakview Baptist in High Point.
Thanks for taking time to read and considering helping out...
