Me and the wife are going to canton this Saturday. We will be going to dog ally to see what chickens they have there. So if anyone else is going to canton let me know.

Canton..like by Uvalde?

We are bracing for impact. The temp has dropped from 81 to 72 in the last 10 minutes. Lightning struck across the highway from us. So much for the weather predictions, my back is a better meteorologist than them! It's a dang good thing I listened to it this time instead of trusting the weather forecast. Everyone is locked away in the chicken coop, safe and sound.

yeah we are really worryed about the sick rooster we have i think i may have to run a heat lamp out to him this rain keeps getting him wet because he won't get up to get in the dog house on his own he just sits their getting rained on

Your yard looks like my goose coop and parts of my back yard. My laundry room flooded yesterday as well. My washer and dryer bottoms are wet, so no laundry for me till it's all dried. We found the issue though and fixed it so that it does not happen again. Which is wonderful. Also discovered a leak in the kitchen of the apartment Henry is staying in until he can move back home. I think all this rain will delay them moving the mobile home onto his property. But that's OK, as long as it still gets done when the weather permits. The rain already stopped here at my place, but it was an intense 30 minute storm. Rain coming down so hard and thick I couldn't see more than 20 feet in front of me. And it was coming down sideways in hard waves. The sun is peaking out, but my yard is so soaked it won't dry today or tomorrow.

After this series of storms I will be going under my post and beam house to check for any movement or sinking, and doing the same to my chicken coop. Flooding like we had in the back yard is rough on post and beam foundations. Good thing I have a lot of bottle jacks, concrete blocks in 3 sizes and pressure treated wood on hand to shim the house up with. Lol.
