Currently have a power outage that seems to have happened around midnight according to Facebook posts.
The house is kind of spooky in the complete dark.
I drove around town charging my phone and looking at the damage from the winds.
There's a lot of small and huge branches scattered around the road in some places.
Most businesses in town have power and a few traffic lights are working.

Hopefully they get your power back on soon, stay warm and safe out there!

I definitely will. The house is actually too warm from the wall heater being on until the power went out.
I'm about to head over to the store and walk around there for a bit. I have too much energy and so far UberEats is dead silent.
 
Not sure if I had actually made a clear point on the pullet that mama hen raised from July 'til now but I finally rehomed her yesterday.
Mama hen seemed a bit down in the afternoon but quickly went back to her grumpy self by bed time.
Like I've said before, I originally never planned to keep her as I'm moving towards a Bantam only flock.
Once our senior BS hen and our older Blue Wyandotte pass, I'll only be keeping Bantams.
I may get more standard breeds if we move to a farm in the future but for now, it'll only be Bantams.
 
We still don't have power. Some trees down (big Quaking Aspens we watched fall!), we have some fences out and some other minor wind damage, but we are thankful for only that, (I'm sure others were not so lucky!) I have a dentist appt. up in Spokane today, and hopefully I'll be able to fill up our jerry cans to run the generator some more.

It's hard to capture in the pictures, but some of these huge trees came down in our yard.

Thankful the sheep and goats (and chickens!) were in their shelters when they fell.
After the wind died down later that day: acting like nothing happened:

(They weren't in those metal porta-huts when the trees fell (I would have freaked out!)) There is an actual building structure they have (you can see in this last picture with the jank metal siding that thankfully everyone piled in) but it was still fairly terrifying to watch since those trees are tall and wind could've brought them down in any direction.

Still too close for comfort, but at least they all stayed safe. People say goats and sheep aren't smart, but I sure thought highly of them when they all went into the building during the crazy weather while we were watching them from the house.
