On Christmas Day my tree crew finally was ready to start the work on my property. I felt bad that they had to be there on Christmas but they assured me they preferred it that way as the goal was to have all storm damage cleaned up by New Years so that all the out of state teams could go home to their families by then. Quite a large number of teams, like mine, had been called upon to assist the normal Oklahoma crews get the work done faster. While I contacted England Tree Service, it was Champions Tree out of Houston who ended up doing my work.

The work they did at my house was impressive. Both of my 75 foot Mulberry trees were split down the middle (and I'll have to remove the rest of them soon too). And I had quite a large number of smaller trees needing work. As the City was to be hauling off tree debris in the upcoming weeks, all my broken limbs and trunks were piled upon my curb.

I've taken a few pictures to give you an idea of what it all looks like. Though sadly, it's not as impressive on film as it was standing next to it. The pile goes about 12 feet back from the curb, about 7 feet tall in places, and spans the entire length of my yard.  Full size photos can be found in the gallery called Aftermath in my Photos area.
