Happy Sunday! Hope everyone here in North Texas is keeping an eye on the skies as we are expected to have severe storms & possibly a derecho which is a fancy meteorologist word for a long line of strong, fast moving storms that can bring damaging winds over a wide area. Not fun, but being prepared can make all the difference!
Now’s a great time to:
📱 Charge phones & devices so you can receive emergency alerts
🔦 Check all flashlights
🔋 Grab extra batteries just in case
💧 Make sure you have plenty of drinking water
🪴 Bring in anything that might blow away
🐾 Make sure that small pets like dogs & cats have sturdy shelters such as a garage or barn along with plenty of food & water. If possible bring them inside!
Our go to weather pros are Max Velocity, Texas Storm Chasers, & Reed Timmer Extreme Meteorologist who all do a great job breaking it all down clearly. If storms give you anxiety, we highly recommend Texas Storm Chasers’ livestream! They often play calming music while keeping you informed.
At the moment we are busy battening down the hatches making sure everything is secured & ready!
🐴 The bigs (our horses & cows) have full access to our little barn
🐰 The littles (our buns & sugar gliders) will be cozy in the cottage
🐱 The barn cats are welcome in the garage & main barn
🐶 Athena & the others will be inside probably glued to our couch as they have storm anxiety
Please keep us in your thoughts & prayers as we’ll be keeping all of y’all in ours. Stay safe & be sure to check in on your friends, family & neighbors 💛
