Weird how drastically different the weather is from one coast to the other ... we're expecting low 80s here in CA.

Our water table is lower this year so that might save us from the really bad flooding.<br /><br />I'll be thinking about you (and Arlene) and hoping that nobody gets hurt.smazourekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03029180368325070266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8603946585821420123.post-4391230925388004042012-10-28T08:09:52.107-04:002012-10-28T08:09:52.107-04:00Thank you for keeping us in your thoughts.

If we had to move farther inland, I do not know where we would go. All of my state and the surrounding states as far west as Ohio are in the "red zone". There is no where to run. Thank goodness we are not at sea level like those living directly on the coast.Valhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07335385366138424092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8603946585821420123.post-7847389446688162622012-10-27T22:12:15.345-04:002012-10-27T22:12:15.345-04:00I thought of you and other bloggers as I watched t...I thought of you and other bloggers as I watched the weather news...

To make matters worse, there is another storm with a cold front moving from the west. They are supposed to meet on the eastern coast. Cape May and some other parts of the coast are already being evacuated, because there is also a spring tide which may create a storm surge.<br /><br />Thanks for the tips. <br /><br />Unfortunately, I am becoming practiced, since we had to prepare for Irene last year.Valhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07335385366138424092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8603946585821420123.post-54911741824197093122012-10-27T18:47:32.265-04:002012-10-27T18:47:32.265-04:00I thought maybe last year was a fluke.

It's pretty common here in Miami, though, so I can offer some advice:<br />1. Breakaway halter with luggage tag attached that has all your contact info, vet's phone #, etc.<br />2. Second luggage tag with all the above info braided into the tail<br />3. Livestock markers used to write all the same info onto the horse's body (plus, this is super fun!)<br />3. Fill EVERYTHING with water just in case<br />4. Make sure you have at least seven days of food dor yourself and all animals<br />Best of luck!
