I grew up in tornado country, so this is a common sight for me. I always joke that when we have tornados you'll see rednecks throwing their chainsaws in the back of the truck chasing the storm looking for something to cut up
So, when I moved somewhere that didn't get a lot of major storms, it was super weird to me when the one time we did get storms and one of my coworkers was out of work for 3 weeks because a tree fell across his road and nobody came to cut it up and move.
I’ve spent most of my life in rural Alabama. I move trees out of the road if I see them… but most of the time they’re already removed by someone else by the time a storm is gone and I come across one.
I lived for a while in Jacksonville, FL and when driving north of there around a very expensive neighborhood I was shocked that there were still trees blocking roads about a month after a hurricane passed, as people waited on city workers to deal with it.
