"Treed in"? Geez, nobody in the WHOLE NEIGHBORHOOD had any way to remove a fallen tree?!?! I expect to be "treed in"...I have a gallon of premix for my chainsaw if needed and can drag large pieces clear with my truck. Not a problem.
Well, naturally, people had to get to work. Once the problem was confirmed, that we couldn't drive out either end of the road, everyone grabbed whatever cutting tool they could get their hands on, and we cut open a lane of traffic. We severed the tree, and then someone managed to get a 4x4 around to the other side and drag the debris to the side behind the other half. It wasted a bit of time, however, during which we were all treed in.
