Lost power around 5 am.Was only off maybe a couple hours at most.Weather got pretty rough around here.Lots wind,rain,noise.I let Steve out to roam because his stall was underwater.1 of the new pens is seriously underwater,the rest are just wet from soaking in I guess.Only see one floater so far,but not all birds accounted for yet.I think a bunch went under the trailer. Road closings all over.Whole town flooded in and DEA agents hittin em full force this morning....lol....

Here's NOLA:

Here's from where I am

Mary Lancaster had a brush with Tropical Storm Lee. And this morning, the Hancock County woman is counting her blessings. She survived what she called a near death experience. "It was unbelievable it was just like nothing I've been through before it was terrible!" Lancaster escaped her mobile home just seconds before straight line winds rocked it off of its foundation and flipped it over. Al Showers has her horrifying story.

"I was in the bed and the wind picked up real bad." said Lancaster as she recounted a moment that turned her home, and her life upside down. "So I called my friend and said what's going on, because she watches the weather all the time. I said what's going on she said we got a tornado warning for Hancock County or a watch or whatever. She said as fast as you can you need to get out of there so I did."

With no time to waste, Lancaster said she ran out of the mobile home and took shelter in her car. "That's when it hit. I heard a weird sound like a train and I got out and that's when it flipped. I saw my trailer flipping," she said.

The terrifying scene got a bit more tenuous a few seconds later. "I was in this car right here and a tree rooted up and it was terrible," Lancaster said.

She's fine, but everything inside of the mobile home was turned upside down. And she fears she will have to start all over. When asked what she does next, Lancaster said, "I don't know. I have no idea. I guess stay with my son as long as I can.

She knows those things can be worked out. And she's grateful her friend, and God were watching over her.

"I'm blessed. I'm very blessed to be alive," she said.[/​

I got my little BBR (Kelso) cock Fri. evening I will get some pics and post here as soon as the sun comes back out where I can get a descent shot of him, he's young and needs a little attention he's been " thrown out with the wolves" so to speak so he's not in the best shape but something to work with for sure should make it alright as he's survived "natural selection" or 'survival of the fittest" so far. Which sometimes makes the best birds, from some of my experiences my chicks(all breeds) brooded/raised by my game hens and phoenix half-breeds seem to just do better than the ones I hatch out, hand feed and ("wipe they @$$e$"

everyday), in brooders do.

There's a steady light rain outside and the chickens are playing in the rain. Why don't they go inside and get out of the rain!
