Well that was interesting. Me, my husband, my friend and her son, who live in an apartment, 5 dogs (4 in kennels) her 2 cats in a kennel, my parakeets in their travel cage, and the 11 silkie chicks in a cardboard box with a heating pad and bedding, down in our storm cellar that happens to be out in the pasture. It was pretty comical. Normally since we live on a partially wooded property, and our house is actually a few feet below the ground level at grade, we don't worry about storms. Today was different. When the homeland security people are telling you to stay home, and the weather channel says we have a 90% chance of a tornado, we batten down the hatches, rally the troops, and go under ground. I put the large chickens in the pole barn with the alpacas. Normal days they love the barn, not today, it was a chicken catching rodeo in the wind and rain. We only lost a few tree limbs, and my screen blew out of my large fowl coop. It sounded horrible from the cellar though. I hope you all are okay!!
