Sister Margaret, a Catholic nun, is seen in action down in Miami-Dade County in the aftermath of Hurricane Irma, busily working her chainsaw with the skill of a lumberjack, helping to clear fallen trees. And doing it all in her habit, the clothing worn by her order. :-)

Miami-Dade Police on Twitter: "🎥 of Sister Margaret Ann in action. Thank you to all of our neighbors that are working together to get through this! We are #MiamiDadeStrong https://t.co/5tG6nzk7Ye"

I saw that and she did lots of things wrong putting herself at risk. Made me shudder watching that. Obviously never had a chainsaw safety class.

not braking the chain when moving feet. Tripping with a unlocked chain is common hazard.
loose clothing that could get hung up. Chainsaw chaps are worth the money compared to cost of hospital stay.
inadequate eye protection
hearing protection?
steel toed shoes?
head protection from higher limbs?
spotter to keep others away?
not using proper part of guide bar when cutting.

I don't think we are supposed to test God in this way.

Hahahahahaha! I suspect she feels she has a personal "in" with the Big Guy. ;-)

Not testing, just trusting.
