They hauled most of the tree tops off and then I had someone come in and get the trunks for free (they hauled them away and, I didn't have to pay, and they took them to a lumber yard and sold them, so that's how they made their money)

I would guess half the trees had to be climbed, delimbed and taken down in sections. Some of the others were topped and then were felled by using rope and a truck.

I've used a winch several times to take a tree down and keep it from falling towards the way it was leaning.

I really wish I could find the camera. The huge dead tree is still holding.;) I didn't expect so much wind ect. I have lived here all my life and been through a lot of storms, and this is nothing, but I just didn't expect it and blew it off. Kind of a surprise when I woke up.:D
