Right now we are getting lotsa rain, and real strong wind.
I saw a tarp i had forgot to put up out on a piece of equipment in the back pasture , and it was getting ready to become a parasail with a small implement attatched.. so i ran out and cut it loose, and balled it up and tucked it into my horse trailer. A good gust came by and sucked my wide brimmed hat off and carried it up in the sky.. that kinda worried me a tad... On the way back in I checked on my poultry, and they were doing good except for two of my game roosters that were on the windwards side.. I grabbed them from their cages and tossed them into the horse trailer as well. I also noticed that I'm getting a large amount of water erosion on the north side of one of my pole barn around the pylons facing the wind.. and when the wind blows, the structure is moving a couple inches.. I'm woried about that one. I grabbed a mallet and some long t-posts which i drove in the ground almost all the way and then used some hi-tensile fence wire and nails to stabilize those three front poles on the barn. So far that is holding and it hasn't budged any since then. I thought I might loose some roofing tin.. but the tin is holding down so good that the roof was obviously tugging ont he uprights.. that and the massive rain... Oh well.. not much to do but wait it out.
Wind was so bad that my poncho kept blowing up. I used some hay string to tie my poncho to my waist so i could finish working... glad I'm back inside now...
Stay safe!
