The next task at hand is uprooted and snapped off trees everywhere on my property. It was like dominos...one tree takes down several others. What a mess.
I hate some of the uprooted ones as they hang at like 45 degrees suspended in the air. Maybe the next storm will polish them off.
No damage to the house, pets, barn, cars, or etc.

Now that's good to hear.

Glad your back and hope you can stay Wayne, Praying Kirk will die out. The Country can not deal with another hit right now. 
Milton is the next one to cause major problems.Glad your back and hope you can stay Wayne, Praying Kirk will die out. The Country can not deal with another hit right now.
The governor of Florida has declared a state of emergency ahead of Hurricane Milton, which could bring Category 3 winds and surge, or worst, to the Florida peninsula.
Areas at the greatest risk are communities still reeling from last month’s Hurricane Helene and Hurricane Ian in 2022.
The state of emergency includes the following counties: Brevard, Broward, Charlotte, Citrus, Collier, DeSoto, Flagler, Glades, Hardee, Hendry, Hernando, Highlands, Hillsborough, Indian River, Lake, Lee, Manatee, Marion, Martin, Miami-Dade, Monroe, Okeechobee, Orange, Osceola, Palm Beach, Pasco, Pinellas, Polk, Putnam, Sarasota, Seminole, St. Johns, St. Lucie, Sumter and Volusia.

Glad to hear you and everyone there is ok. I'll refrain from turning this political.
Good to have you back. Pictures if you can?
A few examples, but it's difficult to capture the scale and magnitude. You may need to zoom in on some of the pics.
First pic is tree that snapped high up.
The above picture is an example of the leaning ones that will fall randomly across the roads for the next few months. They usually fall after a good soaking of the ground for a few days and sometimes helped down by thunderstorm winds.
Some of the large one dropped hard even though they were somewhat protected from direct winds by surrounding trees.

Thats what Aiken SC looks like, be careful Wayne I know you like to hike. Those are widow makers my friend. Thanks for the pics.
The large leaning ones (partially uprooted) near my house will not strike it when they fall / I help them fall. I have one tree that I don't really trust. I'll have to implement some rigging to make it fall tangential to my house.
A professional arborist wants $11,000 to take it down along with a handful of nearby large diameter leaners. Removal and cleanup included. He's good. I used him a couple of years ago to take down/away some dangerous trees that were nearly dead. They were like 80 feet tall.
