One thing that I have yet to get as part of my "post-storm cleanup" tool kit is a battery operated reciprocating saw. I believe it was someone here on the boards that recommended one of them. Put on one of the long pruning blades and it'll get you through most debris. It's a lot safer for storage than a chainsaw and so long as you have two batteries (always charged, of course) you're good to go.
Food for thought.

Great point, also if you don't know how to operate a chain saw.. DON'T use one either during or after a storm. If you "think you know" still dont' run a chain saw. They are great powerfull toools that can do amazing work in short order, they can also mess up your day in even shorter order. The logistics of getting EMS when you make a small oops with a chainsaw cold be truly life thretening.
