That's all we can do is prepare and hope and pray, then begin to help eachother to recover.

X2, then it will be our turn.LOL

What, it will turn directions? I haven't been watching the weather.

Yeah, it's been down sized to tropical storm but I still have hurricane winds here.
Here's some pics, including Harvey, the pheasant I saved from near death, this morning when I got home from work. Was muddy, and limp. Put him in my hatcher(home made Great Big) removed the hatching trays and laid him inside. Few hours later, here he is:

Here's some more pics:

Hope everybody's safe and secure. This too will pass!

After it hangs around ya'll a few days it heads up weastern Lousiana, sending feeder bands toward the eastern side, i.e., New Orleans where some idiot thought it was a good idea to do pump maintance on 3/5's of the turbines that power our pumps. So two weeks ago we had homes flooded in New Orleans from a large rain event. Our home was ok, chicken yard was a swamp (one hen had to be found and rescued out of a lemon tree) and we lost 1 of 3 cars. This is predicted to be worst so far, who knows as time passes? But we are preparing regardless. First time in 60 years that I know of that New Orleans is handing out fill-it-yourself sand bags. LOL

Just had a huge oak tree limb fall on my roof. Heard a loud crack then a huge thump. Don't think it broke through...I'll have to check when the rain and wind lets up.

Sean, So sorry about the tree. Be careful checking it out. Sometimes if something shifts more damage is done and you can be hurt.

Sean, looked at your pics again and see where your problem probably is. Ugh!!

Yeah, it's not my 1st rodeo with hurricanes but this ones really doing alot of damage here.

Yeah, can you say "dumb cluck" in the middle of hurricane season 12 years after Katrina. Gotta keep a sense of humor or the PTSD kicks in.
