Storm troubles
Not sure how bad this is going to be. Storm blew in and in less then 15 minutes destroyed my buck house blew it across the yard taking down the fence and smashing up against chicken house, half the chicken house blew off and the chick pen flew across the yard. Managed to get the bucks into the doe pen only safe place for them, found my 4 baby chicks scattered about the yard and got the 14 chickens into the little office area off the shop, could not catch my ducks.
Tomorrow will be a day for sure couldn't see allot with the pouring rain and in the dark. Can only hope that I can salvage materials to remake the buck house.

I know we needed rain but the wind hurt us really bad....

So sorry to hear this. Hugs. BTW write down the date so in 5 months you aren't banging your head against the wall wondering when they are due.

I hope there isn't as much damage as you imagine when it gets light this morning. Hoping you have enough materials to at least make a buck shelter. Pallets are always cheap or free & can be used for lots of things.
Hugs to you & thank gosh everyone is safe.
