I note that Sir Gare received a bit of rain over the last 24 hours. Seven to nine inches it appears. I do hope all is well.

thanks for the concern, we're ok. per the picture though, we went from being along the creek to being in the creek, that was the view out our bedroom window, and thats not standing water, it was swifting flowing water - never seen it and we've been here since 85, the creek jumped over the road and bridge, the cops shut down the highway for several hours. luckily our furnace on that side of the house seems to have been up enough that it wasn't damaged. the coop and tin can weren't so lucky on the other side, all the wiring in the coop has to go as well as the carpet on the floor, a number of cardboard boxes, some electronics, so its down till further notice unfortunately. im' waiting until the visit ends to look under the house, who knows what i'll see although havent noticed any smell or anything. it was 9 inches here, the rain gauge overflowed. the visit was delayed and our new mother in law had to skip her house visit, thankfully i didnt have to go out and try to pick them up wednesday night though. it went much smoother yesterday. the good side of the old barn roof also ripped off in the wind, its folded over now like the other side. good thing i'm out of there.

Good to hear all are well. I can't imagine nine inches of rain in a days time. We have had seven and a half inches for the tear so far, and that is good for us. Our problem is not water, it is fire. About a week ago, a non thinking welder set the desert on fire about 1500 feet away from us. The fire department was on it fast and kept the burn to about five acres but it was still too close for comfort.
