In the emergency of a natural disaster where do you move your chickens?

We thought we were going to miss out, we were forecast to get 100mls, we got 84ml, of that 55ml fell after 10pm last night.

we have gone from drought to flood.

sadly for us, it wont do our towns dam levels any good, these rivers are the catchment for the Warragamba Dam, sadly it will flow to there our towns dam will only get what fell locally.

this is the local golf

I love summer, I suffer winter to get to summer, but these last two summers have been brutal, relentless heatwaves in January 2019 to relentless heatwaves and bushfires this summer...Summer 2021 will be great, surely we can’t get thrashed again.

Well... there's not much left to burn...

The 2013 summer was awful, my grandma almost lost their family business to it. They lost multiple machines as they own a earthmoving business

It will come back and BURN

It will come back and BURN

There is no denying it. Great, we have a flood but the water has gotten into the pump and it’s broken now. So no water, showers ect for us.

We do get the occasional one in Aust but they are no where near the size of the ones in the US. Have had them out here
