A very wet and rainy springtime for me on my forestry farm and how I handle it daily.

Yesterday May 30th, 2025, another rainy day on the farm.
I have had another day or heavy rain, and my farm is extremely hilly in the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains of Southern Ohio close the Ohio River and WV and KY. Anyway, it rained all week long but yesterday during a slight break in the rain. I caught up on the weed whacking. But this morning a large White Oak tree on a hillside of my forest gave way and came down across the state route blocking it and hitting a power line knocking out the power with a loud thud I heard in the house. I spent all morning and into early afternoon cutting up and removing the tree from the road and out of the creek along the road as not to cause a backup flooding. So, now I am in the house resting and drying off because it just kept raining as I worked. By the time the Power Company showed up I had the treetop that hit the power line and was laying across the road and in the creek beside the road dragged up the state route and placed beside my driveway. The Power company guys were funny and dumb founded trying to find the top that had hit the power lines, they said to me "where did it go". I told them to look 100 yards up the state route and in my driveway for the top where I dragged it too already to cut up later. That I did not want it laying in the creek backing up the creek and flooding the roadway. To just go get my power restored and if they had to make love to the top that I would charge $100 each and I would not take pics for an extra $100 each. They laughed and went and restored my power. They actually thanked me for removing the tree top saving them work in the rain.
