Tropical Storm Isaias Aftermath. Backyard Summertime in New Jersey.

A Montgomery Township maintenance crew arrived in the morning to begin clearing out some of the cut logs and brush from the two downed Oak trees. Before they got here some folks with pickup trucks had been picking up a few of the logs for firewood. The Township crew removed the stuff next to the rock wall on the other side of Grandview road. They told me they would be back to collect the stuff on my side of the street but needed to leave so PSE&G and the phone companies could work on the remaining downed lines.
