Storm Debris from Hurricane Ike

Some of you are undoubtedly wondering just when the limbs, trunks, and leaves that Ike brought down will be picked up.   A week after the storm, the Prestonwood BOD finally got off the dime and sent out a 1-page letter on what to do with storm debris (cut the limbs into 10-foot lengths and put them and the leaves at the curb -- unbagged).  Yeah, right.  First good wind comes along it will look like we had another storm, and if we have a rain the same time we'll probably flood houses when the drains fill with the leaves.  Great advice, guys!!!  BTW, Board, since your note was so timely, almost all your neighbors had already bagged their leaves in the first days after the storm.

So PFHO was also interested in learning when the debris will go, until we heard a news report on TV a couple days ago that said Houston had so much debris it would take up to a year to remove.

So, Prestonwood, if we're not too far behind Houston on the pickup list, we can hope to have the storm debris removed by the time school starts next fall, if nothing happens to slow it down. 

Why do we suspect that this will really make the BOD angry?  Well, no worry, Board.  Just send the nasty notes to Ike.
