Brief update at the end of the video.  Short version: house looks fine, but so do the neighboring houses which are not strapped down.

A plan is just a list of things that doesn't happen.

Hillsborough River is still climbing as the center of the state slowly drains.

The river covered the road out of my neighborhood last night.  Good to have a high vehicle.  Right now the road is only about 10" deep.

Well, this looks like an efficient use of federal resources. I'm not sure if it should be a "change a lightbulb" joke or a "six guys watching one guy digging" joke.

I was strapped for my three days of chainsawing after hurricane Milton as well.

Pure photo op.

You get nasty instantly cutting and cleaning wood up. Sawdust, dirt, leaves, bark, etc.

Because some criminals are stupid enough to mess with a guy holding a chainsaw.

You mean with a pistol? That's silly. Everybody else attaches the chainsaw to their AR-15 assault weapon.

Meth makes people do crazy things.....

I tried to attach the saw to my AR like an improvised pole saw, but the chainsaw exhaust melted the duct tape holding it on.
