Hurricane Miltonwreaked havoc when it tore through Florida in October 2024.
The storm reached top wind speeds of 180 miles per hour, and triggered more than a dozen tornadoes.
By the time Milton was done, it had left behind $50 billion worneighbor th of destruction.
The man became the unfortunate victim of a dodgy arborist after a neighbors tree landed in his yard.
He learned to code in third grade and now focuses on industrial solutions.
My wife and I are blessed enough that we have insurance and we have some money.
The man told Bored Panda his neighbor hasnt reached out since the arborist disappeared.
He believes its because theyre afraid of the legal consequences from hiring an unlicensed arborist.
Apologies go a long way with me, said the resident.
Fortunately, he and his family received an outpouring of kindness assistance from a few people.
[They] let us take warm showers at their house, and even had us over for dinner.
The resident says hecontacted the cops when the arborist damaged his property and dared to disappear.
InFlorida, there is a State agency that pursues contractors working without a license.
I have filed with them in October, but I havent heard anything back as of yet.
The man says hes not sure if getting the arborist arrested is the best outcome.
But adds that given the guys criminal background, he doesnt want him to hurt anyone else.
Protecting others is my #1 priority, he told us.
Suing someone isnt as easy as some people might believe…
It was shocking how many people think that you’re able to just sue someone.
Yet I am to expect him to have the money to pay for a legal judgement?
The lawyers for the litigation would cost tens of thousands if not hundreds of thousands.
The legal bills may be recoverable.
Otherwise, the destruction of his business and personal reputation will have to suffice, he said.
The techies actions seem to have inspired others.
He says hes received several messages since he posted about the incident.
Some people merely wished him well.
