Ingrid's Update
Fire damaged trees have been falling across the road quite regularly since the big fire event. Now, there is a particularly large concentration of trees across the road just below the cliffs.
Returning from town today, Allan was first blocked by a couple of trees. He walked home, came back with his chainsaw and found more trees fallen...thirty feet of solid trees across the road, his car on the other side, now trapped with trees fallen behind it as well! And more trees steadily snapping off and crashing down as he watched.
Of course, he could not do anything about it at the time, with trees still falling.
He will be spending Christmas day chainsawing, then has to get down to Steve's to house sit for a week. We've been trying to figure out if we could help.
Thought you all should know and be prepared to face such a situation if you're going up. No more storms forecast in the next week.
UPDATE:
Things didn’t look quite so overwhelming today as when it was pouring rain and trees cracking and falling.
Allan did not use the tractor. Just sawed into small pieces, removed by hand and raked. Car not smashed.
So back in order until the next storm.
