OMGAWD....power off 2:15 and now back on at 6pm. Generator was workong good keeping fridge cold.Dont need for the pumps yet cause Not really any rain yet to speak of?????? thank goodness but the winds have kicked up BIG time and now its dark out back and I cant see.:<((( I'm scared....my chinmeys are crying like ghosts with the winds.

Our chickens are going in and out of the coop into their run...still laying eggs though. I will lock them up later on, when we get ready to bunker down.
Unfortunately, our trusty, reliable generator has decided not to work! My husband spent hours last night trying to fix it with no luck. This now affects all my plans. I was going to bring my daughter, sister and one of their personal care aides to stay at my house. Now, the three of them may have stay in my sisters apartment while my hubby and I stay at my house (to watch over all the animals).
This is really making me uncomfortable. I will be very worried if I can't be there to help take of my sister. I may have to ask my husband to stay at our house by himself, so I can be with the ladies.
Stay safe everyone

Best of luck with everything Tina!

The $%^&^%$# partial roof just blew off of my shed!!!! my silkies are in there with plywood now covering them and the DH and sons in this wind naiiling it back on.

That's my Easter Egger, Nana, and my Bichon, Charlie Brown.
They are storm watching with me.

Things here are good. We lost tv & Internet but have power.
I am knitting and baking bread. Are fence got blown down so
everytime a dog wants to go out (we have 3) I get to walk them
aroung the yard on a leash. The wind gusts are just crazy but no
rain. I can't wait to put the chickens back outside. They are not
happy, except my EE who thinks she should live in the house.
Broody and chicks are doing great. Chicks keep chirping all night
keeping me up but they are too cute to get mad at. It's too sweet when
the broody 'sings' to them. Oh I most likely will hatch more CL
in the spring. I love love love them.

Hope everyone is safe.

Thank you! We decided to divide and conquer, my hubby is home with the animals and I'm with the ladies. So far...we are good.

Wine and chocolate should be included in every hurricane prep plan!

Glad you are happy with the CL's. Can't wait to see more pics as they grow.

We lost power sometime around 5:00pm, but generator is running like a charm. Just walked the dog at midnight & discovered giant oak is down in the back yard. Missed the coop by a foot! No damage, we are so lucky. Hens are inside already thank god. I am on twitter and pics are truly frightening. Very worried for everyone, esp. Mags. Plz everyone check in & do head count if you can! Thinking of you all, H

Eerily quiet out there.....

We lost power I guess around 4 something last night. I'm in my car charging my phone in the driveway! I finally spoke to my husband at 3 am he was freaking out calling me to put myself and the kids under a part of the house with a floor overhead. We were already there in the living room under my daughters room. Apparently a firefighter was killed in his home last night up in PR when a tree went through his roof- wife and child in critical!! I texted Suzanne last night no word back. My phone lost reception before I could get all my checking up texts out. Lol! When the sun comes up ill take some pictures but I have to say I don't think we took that bad a hit. There's a tree down at the end of the block which is the explanation of out power outtage. Hopefully we'll be back up soon! The city on the other hand is a disaster zone. Danny said its bad bad bad. But, we are NYers! We'll be fine. That's what we do.
