I was hired on as road foreman about a month ago and, after a severe thunder storm late yesterday afternoon, went out to check the roads after supper. We have almost 70 miles of dirt roads so wash outs, plugged culverts, and downed trees are a major concern.
West side of town had mostly minor washing, few limbs down, but the east side had some major trees down, roads totally blocked off. Anyway....I was cutting one up and the tree shifted and one of the limbs caught me on top of the head ( yeah....didn't have my helmet on Sid). Bled like a stuck pig but managed to get one lane open and made it back to the town garage, washed the blood off as best I could so my wife wouldn't freak out when I walked in the door. Took a shower and she gave me a ride to the E.R.
