Well,

We're battening down the hatches for hurricane Ian. I'm grateful that we are able to bring our rabbits inside tomorrow - we have a temp pen set up in our master bathroom (and newly born baby kits - they're almost 3 days old now. 7 have survived, and hoping that some make it). Both of our coops are elevated (one is about 12 inches and the other is about 15 inches). So they'll probably have a swimming pool in their run (last bad hurricane only had depths of a max of about 4-5 inches of standing water, so hoping that's the case this time).

When it hits our area, nearly all projections state it'll just be coming off a Category 1 into a tropical storm. Praying for all you fellow Floridians out there (and stateside neighbors that might get some rain as well).

If you're in an evac zone (we aren't,) make sure you understand if you don't evacuate, rescue will not come if the windspeeds persist at 40mph+ for safety. Please take the storm seriously and as hurricanes past have not been bad, it doesn't mean this one won't be. It could be another Irma.

Peace to all - stay safe!

Fellow Floridian here. Sending prayers for us all. Northeast Florida will have flooding as a big concern, as it stands right now. They are talking about roughly 17” of rain overall and sustained winds of 50mph.
