Rammy's Ramblings

[B&B Happy goats]

@goargirl hurricanes are predicted days sometimes weeks ahead, we get to watch what may be headed our way and can plan accordingly. Not much if ...any... chance to prepare for a tornado for a week or a few days. Rather have neither, but I pick the one that gives me a better warning it's headed my way, so I can decide what I choose to do....stay or go elsewhere.

B&B I have a storm cellar, aka hidey hole in my yard. I have a few things stored in it to keep me safe and comfortable for a few days if I need to. and we may not know a week or two in advance but most of the time if you pay attention you know if a storm is coming and can be watchful. yes its devastating if your place is the one hit but it doesn't destroy a huge path like a hurricane does. if I come out of my hidey hole and my house is gone chances are good that my friends and relatives can help me out. I've never been in a hurricane but from the pictures I've seen they are horrific and i'd rather take my chances with a 'nader.

Thats the best thing about life...we all have choices......

 

[goatgurl]

yup

 

[frustratedearthmother]

I wish I had a hidey- hole in my yard....but with the water table at ground level it might be kinda hard…

 

[goatgurl]

you could always do like my grandma did, she had a ground water problem too so she kept goldfish in her cellar. was so much fun to go down and feed them when we were kids

 

[frustratedearthmother]

Yep - no cellars here either. But, if I did have one - raising goldfish might be the only thing I could do with it, lol!

Checked tge eggs last night. Looks like only 6 are viable. The others show no signs of development. Going to double check again Sunday and remove the ones not showing anything.
Made bbq chicken wings in my Instapot last night. Yum! Think I'll do porkchops tonight. Put the wings in frozen, set the timer for 10 minutes. Took them out, put bbq sauce on and put them in the oven for 15 minutes. They sure were good.

Rammy, I spent 17 years in w.va and learned how to get along pretty well on snowy roads but here in Arkansas its a whole different ball game. whereas I can get myself to town and back, slowly but safely there are lots of idgets that will run smack over you. when the roads are bad here I just hide at home till they are clear so they don't kill me.
and @B&B Happy goats I've never figured out how people who get smacked by hurricanes think they are better than a tornado. where a hurricane tears up everything everywhere a tornado hits a spot or two and then flys away. dig yourself a little hidey hole and at least you'll live over it. if your house is hit at least all your friends and neighbors can help you. in a hurricane all your friends and neighbors are in as bad or worse shape than you are. never made any sense to me. and yup we may have fhar ants but youall have alimagators. my cuz use to have to have someone come get them out of her pool ahhhh no. fhar ants can sting like he!! but they don't normally eat ya.

I got fahr aints and alligators. Lived in hurricane country most of my life and only took damage one time. Moved to tornado country 4 years ago and have had the warm feeling of hiding in a restaurant kitchen while a tornado tore up several businesses nearby. And then the drive home not knowing if we had a home left or not. @Devonviolet was text me through the while ordeal, telling me where the tornadoes were and said it was right in my neighborhood. It was, but it went through the woods and no homes were damaged. I can prepare for a hurricane and hunker down. I don't like tornadoes.

True, as long as you ain't in that 'spot or two' that a twister hits.
Wind speeds in tornadoes are usually lots higher than most hurricanes after landfall, tho the duration you are exposed to hurricane winds is much much longer.

(I've never used the term "fahr")

I say fahr. And I say aints. Does that make me ignert?
