🌬🌀Kentucky Hurricane without a Beach!🏖🏝

[Fancy59]

We are starting into our 5th day without electric. Friday from about 1 PM till past dark we had hurricane force winds of 70 to 80 miles an hour throughout the state of Kentucky. They weren't part of thunderstorms or front lines they simply blew and blew until everything was torn up. It really tore the whole electrical interstructure up, blocked roads, closed schools and businesses.

Friends of ours had some hay feeders from the farm about a quarter mile away and across 2 big fence lines blow into their front paddocks. It was like it was from the wizard of oz because they somehow managed to land in their front field without tearing up either fence row. They even had a hay shed blow over and land in their mare's field.

We had a lot of trees blown down or broken up severly. Part of our roof blew off but everyone was safe and sound so that was all that mattered. Our horses came through it unscathed, our barn came through it intact and my son's small house was also undamage so all in all we did very very well.

Oh, Fancy! Nothing scares me more than high winds. I'm glad you're all okay. Is it warm enough that you're okay without heat?

[kdali]

Yuck! I'm glad you're ok and hope you get power soon.

It sounds as though your area has had a really tough time. It’s a relief to know that you and the animals are ok. The weather has been really bad for most people in the States, climate change will probably get the blame, again. Hope you are doing better and getting closer to your goal of riding again. Blessings Jimeka 🤗

[Amore55]

Oh, my gosh. I’m at a loss for words, which doesn’t usually happen! I’m sorry for the heartbreak and inconvenience. But you are correct in the sense that all of you are safe. Please, please private message me about anything at all that I can do to help you. I’m able to incorporate my friends here into helping too. Really. Much love to you and your family. Kelly

I’m glad you and your horses came through the storm. It’s that time of year that we get the high winds around here as well and I cringe every time we go through it. Hopefully your electricity gets fixed soon.

I am glad that all you had was property damage, and that everyone was safe, Fancy59 , because things can be repaired or fixed. Stay safe! 🙏
