About the same situation here. Lots of dead ash. A thanksgiving ice storm a year ago broke the tops out of a lot of our sugar maples and the two wind storms last spring and fall uprouted about any species in the woods that was on bedrock where tap roots couldn't penetrate. The storms left our sugarbush in a mess. Lots of leaners "loaded" trees that can barber chair, or pull down another one when cut. We have to be very careful. The other day one of my younger cousins was going to saw off a 20" maple that was half ripped out of the ground and hung at about a 45* angle, lodged in another tree. He had no clue that the stump was wanting to fall back into the hole, or that the tree would split, lengthwise. I stopped him, through a chain around the body of the tree above the cut. I then cut off a couple of roots that my cousin was straddling, and made sure I had a path to retreat if something unexpected still happened After watchfully making a couple of under cuts, I continued his top cut. The stump slammed back in the hole. The but of the log fell to the ground, however it still had to be pulled out of the tree it was hung up in. My cousin had no clue that the stump was the danger in this situation. He learned something that day. Loren, the Acg.
