Hurricane Havoc: The Gut-Wrenching Decision to Flee or Face the Storm
Hurricane Milton is barreling towards us, forcing a heart-wrenching decision: should we stay or should we go? As the first major hurricane to truly threaten our area in years, the stakes couldn't be higher. While evacuation is an option, it's not as simple as packing a bag and hitting the road. Our beloved animals - from chickens to dogs - can't easily be moved, and their care weighs heavily on our minds. The thought of being unable to return home to tend to them is gut-wrenching. Yet, the potential fury of Milton looms large, challenging us to balance safety with responsibility. In these moments, we're reminded that being a homesteader means facing nature's challenges head-on, even when the path forward isn't clear.
