:( What a sad sight. Sorry for your loss, hope that was worst of your damages, although think you'll have a lot of chainsaw work to do to get ready for sugaring season.

I would still use them. Looks like 4400 instead of 5000 gal. I haven't had a chance to get into my woods yet. However the storm is still 24 hours from passing through here.

That's a good sized oak. I'm surprised that it didn't flatten those tanks right to the ground. If they were mine I would use a hydraulic porta power and do some strrrrretching back into useable condition.

If they were mine i would have left them at my house and put them in the bush a day before i tapped, no sense in letting storms and scrappers have their way with them.

yes you should store your tanks in the middle of a hay field for the summer so there is no chance of a tree falling on them i bet this is what FDA does with his just mo around them :lol: That sucks about your tanks delevron it hurts my sole just looking at them.

Knowing Andy, My thoughts are that the tanks were owned by a Lapierre customer and not his tanks.

Being FEMA declared NYS a state of disaster,there might be some coverage from them for your damages.They covered some of the sugaring damage in 98 from the ice storm.I would check into it.
Good Luck
