| Yep, expecting possibly up to 25". Last storm like this we had 18" in one night. After the microburst and power was out for 5 days my husband had a backup geteator put in our house. It is hooked up to our propane tank and comes on automatically if the power goes out. He built our barn up high on a pad so hopefully it will stay dry. I have offered my hay barn for anyone needing to move horses |

Thats so kind of you Nancy to offer your barn to others that may need the help..Glad to hear that your all set up and dont have to worry about losing your power. We are very lucky we are set up high so dont have to worry about the flooding. We have alot of low water crossings so they well be flooded for sure. |

Location: on the fine line between insanity and geniusness | I've moved all pasture horses up close to the barn and I'm going today to put gas in the trailer. Electricity is or biggest concern- we live in the sticks and a small spring breeze will knock our power out!! |

The biggest treat is flooding, it is suppose to make landfall early Saturday am and sit over us thru Wednesday. Predictions are possibly 30" in some areas :(. |

You would think they would cancel the rodeo with this hurricane thats growing in strength, why would they risk all these familys.  |

Suppose to stall out over South Texas from Houston all the way past Corpus Christi, going to be some bad flooding happening all around us, Harvey is really buliding up.. watch the weather Channel its got some good details going on.. The stalling part is what has got me worried.. |

Thanks Roxie! I will Google.
And in the mean time I need to call a few friends and make sure they're prepared...
We live on the top of a hill so I don't think my barn will flood. I do need to get some shingles for the dogs houses that are outside tho. They may appreciate a dry place to lay lol
How have you prepared? I can't remember how you have your place set up...
Are you good? Do you need anything? |

Awww Thanks for asking, but we are up on a hill so we dont have to worry about high water around the house, we have a creek that runs threw the front here and I'm sure it will be running, so we will be locked in but got plenty of food and eggs for sure my hens been laying like crazy lol..Going to bring the welder up here to use as a generator if we need it.. But its all good for us, my son is coming to pick up Sterling after he gets off of work so we dont have to worry about her out here just in case..Horses will be fine just going to get really wet thou. We got this I think  |

| Prayers for all of y'all in the path of Harvey. Be safe!! We are up near the Red River, and just expecting a lot of rain, maybe minor flooding. I know most of y'all are prepared and use good common sense, but I still worry about people and especially their animals after something like this.  |

I sure hope they watch the weather and cancel: (
You would think they would have cancelled by now, They are predicing Harvey could reach being a categorie 4 befor land fall, not worth it having a rodeo in something thats unpredicable as a hurricane thats coming in. |
