The Sunday immediately following hurricane Ike we went around the ward and their neighbors to clean up fallen trees. I did the same the following weekend.
Useful items for tree cleanup
Gas powered chainsaw, with supplies (gas, oil, chain, fuel line)
Machete
Hatchet
Tow rope (for directing trees)
Good gloves
Good boots
Mosquito repellant
Sunscreen
One of my coworkers fiancee has a house down in Galveston, and one of the work crews was down there cleaning and helped them out, this is what he had to say in an email.
"God bless the Mormon people who have been coming down to Galveston to help people move out their sewage soaked belongings, and help with the demolition work. (As well as the red cross and salvation army, but they didn't bring any sledge hammers). I love your people Andrew!"

We are relieved that you and your home are still in tact. It sounds crazy down there.
Dave has been talking to a bunch of people from TX and they have just about convinced him that it is the best place to live.
I'm glad you guys were safe. It was nice to see you at Lanea's wedding. Thank you for taking that package to Joe and Tena. Have a great day.
Love, Linda
