There’s a buzz in the air as I’m writing this.
It’s not a metaphorical buzz, but rather a very real one. It’s the sound of chainsaws cutting down damaged trees in my backyard.
A few nights ago, a massive thunderstorm hit our neighborhood. While it wasn’t a tornado, there were straight-line winds of more than 80 mph. That speed is in the range of an F1 tornado.
The morning after the storm, I looked at my backyard and saw a disaster. Huge trees and large limbs had turned my fence into scrap metal.
After contacting my insurance company, it was time to find a company to handle the clean-up process. I called three tree service companies to get bids on the project.
