So that big storm that hit Friday. Who wheathered it out? I got two photos from it. Our power was out friday morning until saturday night.
Here are the two photos i took of how hight the sacramento river was:

I thought it was a very cool storm! We don’t ususally get them that strong out here. I swear people in Colorado think we’re whimps!
I love extreme weather like that as long as there is no snow involved. It’s great hottub/margarita weather!I think that’s the storm that dumped 2 more feet of snow on us 😯 Koishii, how close do you live to the Sac. River/Sacramento? (we always called it the ‘Sacratomato River 😆 ) My sister and her family live in Roseville

I am an hour south of Sacramento in rio vista. The river boarders the town on the east/south side.

http://www.sarahjestin.com/feedbacklists.htmHoly freakin’ smokies, Koishii! 😯 I wondered how high the river had gotten; now I know. Yikes. I am so glad that we don’t live next to any rivers–that water level really scares me.
Over here on Friday, it didn’t rain all that hard but it was constant, had ice in it, and was travelling sideways. The winds were coming up out of the southeast so hard that I was sure they’d break the sliding glass doors on the patio. They tossed the Dogloos like they were dice and took our trashcans for a walk. The fence upwind of the house nearly got pushed over, and the south fence of the peafowl yard is now leaning at thirty degrees to the ground. The winds tore the tarps off the roof of the chicken barn, then proceeded to rip sections of sheet metal off the roof. We were out there several times that day, doing damage control. (True desperation is rigging a tarp inside a building to catch the water pouring in, then punching a drain hole in the tarp so that at least there is only one stream of water falling. The floor of the barn is a disgusting swamp now.) The racket of the roof in that wind was incredible, and the entire south wall of the barn was flexing and booming like a drumhead.
But the poor “outside” chickens had it even worse: Jake and his three ladies had had only tarps for shelter (I know, I know, crummy idea 😳 ) and of course the wind tore the tarps to ribbons in the night. We went out there Friday morning to discover wet, unhappy chickens. Two of them were so fed up with being outside that they literally walked up to us and demanded to be picked up! The other hen and Jake had to be chased down with the net. We stuffed them all into the big dog crate and put it into the barn . . . which at least put them out of the wind, if not necessarily in comfort!
More rain to come tomorrow, urgh. So long as it doesn’t come with that kind of wind! :/
wow! I was wondering how you got affected bardwing!!
your poor chickens! wow.
three sides of our fence we had newely put of a few years ago, and we made it so it could with stand hurricane force winds. Our neighbor on the other hand, they had thier fence coming apart and mom and sasha went out there to help them. We gave them wood all way for their fire.you do know, that if the leevee breaks up neer sacramento, most of sacramento would end up flooding????
at least at rio vista, we are on a bit if hill up from the river. all Sac. is lower then the river.I made it thru with my cats and we are all still alive. All of my Windstones are still intaked too. I live VERY close to you Kioshi and I’m pretty sure I know exactly where the river is that you took the picture at.
It was a very NASTY storm but it brought my overtime with it so I LOVE this storm stuff!!
