And we are getting pummeled by the leftovers of Hurricane Michael. We are west of Raleigh... where the path is.
RAIN, RAIN, RAIN, oh... and more RAIN. Been pouring ALL DAY!
Earlier the winds were pretty strong, more so than what we got with Florence.
The gusts were kinda scary.
Yet thankful, after seeing the damage to so many it seems ridiculous to whine about rain.

We have vet appointments for Pete, Leah, and Lilly tonight. The roads we take flood easily. Last time there was a tree down. We may have to go the long way around. It is literally 2x the mileage.
We have had tornado watches all day. Flood warnings too.

The wind blew the tarps off the hay.
The building is starting to flood. It's ok because the other side is good. But we will need to go get 10 more bags of bedding.

Pete is a recheck
Leah got something through her cheek. We can't get it out and now it is swelling. Not sure if it will need to be lanced or not.
Lilly is getting a recheck. Looks like we will have to have to amputate the leg.

My poor DH. He is a softy and knows that now, after all this time we can't just put Lilly down.
She should be fine on 3 legs. She just can never be bred. Yes, we are running a retirement home it seems.
She is super precious and a real piece of work but she is a Lamancha and so what are we suppose to do.
Seriously- if you looked into those eyes you too would be like... yeah, nope can't put her down. She is such a joy.

Can't believe we have 8 days til state Fair. We are so NOT ready.

This Michael weather event hit the interior of North Carolina harder than Florence, which so devastated the coastal areas. Bayleaf Meadows in Raleigh was spared any damage and continued to have electricity in both cases, but there are more downed trees and blocked roads surrounding us than with Florence. I am praying for you!

@Southern by choice updated me this morning. They are using plastic Rubbermaid trash cans to get water from a friend’s. They can get 150 gallons at a time and had used it all last night and were going to get more this morning. Huge trees are down with power lines over many roads, making them completely impassable. The fire department estimated it would be another 2-3 days before they would have power again. Continued prayers are appreciated!
