There are some people from Louisiana that are self reliant. Several years ago our community suffered from a very high velocity wind storm. Trees blocked streets in every mature neighborhood. Chain saws were delivered to every chain store (ha) as they pulled inventory from shelves everywhere to get the immediate sale and to help out. After stopping buy the store to pick up a part for my father in law's chainsaw, I went to his house. After we cleaned up his yard and cut the downed limbs from his overhead power line, we started on the street. Neighbors were out working and a couple that had no power saw helped detangle debris with us. After we and another neighbor cleared a path through the street, we started on neighbor's trees. The moral of the story though is that we saw Trucks from a Louisiana arborist in town for six months after the storm. I am sure they paid for a few trucks while they were here. The same company is probably in Lawrence Kansas right now.
