Wildfire evacuation

[CSAchook]

Prepare yourselves for the most amazing Henry Conquers the World and Lives Yet Again news ever, folks.

He survived a horrendous coyote attack and kidnapping into the deep woods on BLM land.

And now he has survived a massive 110,000 acre firestorm that the awesomely fantastic firefighters worked tirelessly to keep on the other side of Placer Road, a barrage of fleeing wild animals looking for food, extreme heat and monstrous smoke and ash.

If you don't believe me, well, here he is. Look closely and you'll see a little Henry poking out from one of the hens!

I'm so thrilled to hear that Henry and his girls are safe and cared for. Now it's time for you to take a deep breath and relax. Hoping that your house is accessible soon and not too smoky. I know what it's like to have breathing issues so be careful about going in too soon.

Dear @Sunshine Flock i have just started following your story

Quite an ordeal I pray you all are safe and can be reunited soon!

I bought an old metal locker when a factory here closed (like your old locker in school) Its one unit with several smaller compartments. Ventilation already built in. We cut it in half so it fits in the bed of my truck. I got it for taking different sets of birds to swaps and such, but it would be a good resource for an evacuation.

I don’t know if it’s been addressed, but I can probly take your birds if you get evacted, but not if you have a rooster. Only temporarily tho. I’m in Oakdale.

Ok, just finished reading, happy your birds hav a place to go.

I'm so happy for you and Henry! My heart aches for everyone effected by these terrible fires. Everyday I have one more thing to be grateful for. I'll be keeping yall in my prayers. If you'd ever like some nice climate move to Georgia.

YAAAAY, HENRY and flock! I seriously have a huge lump and am fighting back tears. Sooooo happy to hear this. I hope you can get a well-deserved good night’s rest.

You left off a good one....flooding from hurricanes!

Flooding - That's the only one (knock on wood and saying prayers) I've really had to deal with in Maryland. We're right between a river and the Chesapeake Bay, so we deal with flooding on a regular basis - some of it significant. As long as the generator can run the sump, we're usually okay. During the last really big storm, our neighbors toured the local park by canoe and tied up to the playground equipment ... in three feet of water.
We get an occasional tornado sighting, but the closest they've hit is my sister's corn silo about 10 miles away. That pretty well spooked my kids, though, because the farm is our gathering point if there's ever an emergency. All in all, we're lucky. I'll take my safe little corner of the East Coast!

We had houses completely under water here last summer during the unbelievable crazy hurricane flood.
The whole city was practically under water.
