I will be getting ready for some severe weather coming our way tonight. No motels, alas. They have decided on a dogs only or dogs and cats only policy, every last one of them.
The birds and I will be hunkering down at the store I tend for my friends. I have their permission. It's sturdier than a mobile home, but not as comfortable as a mobile home, and it will be a tight fit in the bathroom if we have to go in there for anything really bad like a tornado. This should be out of here well before store opening tomorrow, and shouldn't arrive til well after store closing tonight, so it won't be a problem.
I'll bring my laptop, so if there is power, I can still check the board and post what's going on weatherwise.
I'm going now to get ties to tie cage doors shut when we leave, so no doors pop open. That happened one evacuation and I almost didn't get Riley back. I will bring battery operated little lanterns, and if I have time, get some batteries for the radio. At least it's in a shopping center, everything is within reach! There's a cooler full of water and drinks and snacks on hand, and a microwave there if I want to heat up a dinner.
I have to say, this would be more fun if Uriel were still here. He would chirp and sing no matter what. I hope the birdies do okay. It's close to the house, and it's pretty quiet after hours, so that's good.
Praying for no tornadoes or damage. Thank you again everyone, for everything.
