How is this my life -_- ?

[tacothechicken]

So I live in Anacortes where we have a flood season pre-welcomed whith some of the worst NW windstorms(3 people died last year and 4 other badly hospitalized) so of course the other morning when I came out to feed and water the birds I found our lovely winds left a 70 ft tree on the loft!!! The actual loft is fine but the 10×10 kennel/aviary surrounding it had 2 sides crushed not to mention the roof so now I have to spend 270 to fix it and my birds of course got to outfly the cooper this morning due to THE ROOF BEING CRUSHED! -_- covered it whith a tarp for now and propped up the fence whith a post. Anyone else have some unfortunate weather stories of their birds?

Wow! That is scary. Sorry for your trouble but glad the loft - or your house - wasn't crushed!

That is definitely far too close a call for comfort. I'm glad your birds are OK and no damage to your house. Fortunately I haven't had any calls like that but my neighbour has a huge conifer in her garden that bends and sways alot in the wind. It is on the other side of the fence to my chickens. It does worry me somewhat.

@Chickencountryuk oh that's sounds worrisome :/ we've only had one fallen evergeen here in like 5 years but anything else is fair game all our trees other than our orchard trees are 40ft or more on our property so just fallen branches are bodylength size much less actual trees. But we once spent a whole day shop vac-ing our barn after it flooded and our animals all jump ship and slept under the cover of our back deck on higher ground (horses, chickens,goats, and a llama 0-0)
