Southerns batten down AGAIN

[Floridachick]

GRRRR What a long night. Please be safe, lastnite was bad and 12 inches of rain. Now they are saying tonight will be worse and more Tornados and hail..> Why do I live here??

UGHHHH Everyone ok? Our friends horse was struck by lightning lastnite. We are told let them loose, but which is really safer? Everyone says they can move from a Tornado loose.

Well, that storm is heading our way, VA. We were 6" below norm at beginning of yr, now we are about 2" over rainfall for the yr. OH! In my area, farmers can't plow.....too much, too close. At least the wheat got in the ground a couple months ago but, corn, peanuts, soybeans, cotton may get planted late if they can get the ground ready or equipment in to plant. OK, I can deal with this so long as we don't have "drought" in Jun-Aug

We've had that the last couple of yrs and my pastures have suffered dramatically. A lot of the root base was killed out, so I'm re-seeding a section at a time. In a couple of yrs I'll have it all ready for another drought!!!

Farming -- takes courage and a lot of stress meds.
