Storm Prep

That's what I will be doing tomorrow. One sight I looked at says we could have gusts of 80 miles per hour tomorrow evening. So I want to do some extra prep to the chicken coop shed. It's not as heavy as it was with the saddles in it. I plan to drive fence posts in against the walls so it can't tilt over. I will look over other things to tomorrow afternoon.
Tomorrow morning I will move the bakers rack and clean that area good. Then I will move the cabinet there. We might have rain in the morning but then are supposed to be clear until evening.
Today I got a large crate into the shed and caught 2 of the male guineas. My cousin is going to take 3 of them. I will catch him one of the girls when he is ready to pick them up. I also walked to the neighbors and gave her some of the garlic. Told her to plant some by her rose bushes to help keep the bugs away.
Hope you had a good day.

I hope the storms don’t get that far up. I hope the storms don’t get up to me. 
I’m currently watching coverage for a tornado warning in Manhattan, Kansas…scanner says a storm spotter has eyes on the tornado, along with large hail.

I hope not too. But at least I will have that done for future storms too.
They will love that

@wolfgirl569 I assume you have regular garlic planted? The elephant garlic just popped up here, so we are going with the flow so to speak. It's pretty good, but milder than regular garlic.

I saw in my weather app where Ohio was going to get some high winds. 80mph is nothing to sneeze at.
I used to have garlic and a lot of herbs just outside my kitchen door when I lived with the ex. Sure was convenient.

I hope the wind isn't as strong as the forecasts are showing. I hope you don't see any damage there from the storms.
We're supposed to see high winds and storms/rain tomorrow, too.
Hope you have a good night.

@wolfgirl569 It started storming here around 6 am and then stopped when it was time for us to walk to my doctor's office. It's 65F here but Pretty and I both feel too warm. My bedroom clock shows it is 72F in my bedroom. I'm sweating so turned on a fan.

Good that you are warned. When we had that mini tornado a few years ago we were taken by surprise.
Stay safe

We are scheduled to get a bad day tomorrow, it starts late tonight. Some people are going to get some whopper rain, and I know the winds here are forecasted to be 70=80MPH. So batten down those hatches!

Most of what I get here, you get in 12-24 hours, depending on how fast a system is moving. Be safe, Eva.
