I know how you feel on this. I got hit by an EF4 tornado head on and it just destroyed my 70 odd acres. I finally got tired of struggling with the old Ford 8N and got a new Kubota 4x4 with an FEL and relegated the N to grass cutting duty. FEMA would not help me at all. Guess I was the wrong species and actually had insurance on my home. I had a new Metal Roofing back on in less than a week. It still does not pay enough to put back like it was, that was on me. The corp of engineers did advertise to sign up at the court house for help with clean up. Sure enough I got a call a couple of days later and then they came out and cleaned up all the "Improved areas"... around the house and trees that had fell around the fields. Took them all day and they had four guys with chainsaws and a very large truck that had a grapple. That thing could grab a large oak tree stump and work it back and forth and just snatch it out. I was very impressed. They could not do anything with the other 60 acres...lol. Kubota does an excellent job for that though. There just isn't anything like getting hit by a real tornado in the dark and coming too (knocked around and stunned) with water pouring in everywhere and trees inside with you and windows blown out and wife has a broken leg. I think I finally figured out the verse in the bible that says, "The rain falls on the just and the unjust". Got that one Lord, don't need to do that again, please. :( I still have a big tangled mess on the back 40 and an just too scared to go down the hill back there where the creek bottom is at. Too steep for me.
You might want to check into the corp of engineers to see if they will help.

Today's Featured Article - Listening to Your Tractor - by Curtis Von Fange. Years ago there was a TV show about a talking car. Unless you are from another planet, physically or otherwise, I don’t think our internal combustion buddies will talk and tell us their problems. But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
