The big storm HARVEY is on his way! We are not in the main trouble area down on the coast of Texas, but we are in the projected path. The new has reported that we could get between 8 and 15 inches of rain. Along with that we are expected to have sustained winds of 35 - 45 MPH with gusts up to 60 MPH.
Preparing the BEES!
In this video I talk a little about the storm and how I'm preparing the beehives for the heavy rains and winds.
Empty shelves at the grocery store!
This morning around 8am I decided to go ahead and get a few items at the store. For the most part the store was well stocked but some of the essentials were running very low. Bread and water were the shelves that had the least on them. By the time I was ready to check out the store was getting packed and there were many many carts full in line at the check out lanes. We are doing fine, but it's interesting how people freak out.
Where I'm not prepared
Cooking... yep, we depend daily on electricity for cooking. I have an old camp stove that I pulled out of the shed, but the gas lines are rotted out. I can probably wrap it in tape and manage, but this is definitely a weak spot for us.
