I'm Currently Feeling:  | OMG! A tornado hit here!
I live in eastern Ont and we NEVER get tornados...
But Sunday we did! I didnt hear about it until now. I was planning to move my horse to a barn closer to home, a co-worker who im friends with keeps her horses at this barn too. Luckily my horse is still at a different barn.
But it totally ruined a bunch of barns and garages and things! And it happened so quickly that they couldnt get the horses inside and some of them are injured 
Its really sad and scary! No one is prepared for that here because we never have tornados or droughts etc.
Im still planning to move my horse if things are ok there in time. I wasnt planning on doing it until August... The tornado couldnt have hit any barn or place. |

Few months back we had an eartquake.... my gosh I was so so scared in the flat on my own (oh was at work) wardrobes shook and I was glued to my bed!!! ACTUALLY Thought it was a ghost!!! Middle of the night and all!!
Finally plucked up the courage to get some water and a sneeky facebook look (werent a bnb member then) and loads of people brought up that there had been an earthquake!!!
SHOCKING!!! All over the news then too!!
Natural disasters?!? like we need them with everything else in the world
Hope your horsey gets moved safely |

I'm Currently Feeling:  | Tornadoes are scary things (grew up in tornado alley in the States). Hope the horses are all okay. |

I'm Currently Feeling:  | Wow that is so weird for ANYWHERE in Canada. But yeah, still move your horse! That happens like once every 100 years, there's no reason not to move him/her |

I called them tonight and just asked if everything was ok out there with their horses and me still coming and luckily it is! The main damage was to the indoor riding arena, which can be fixed (expensive, but better then the horse barn). |

I know what you mean we're starting to get them closer and closer here too, I live in Winnipeg, I guess it's just mother nature's way of getting back at us for all the damage we have done to her.. (not us directly, generally speaking) |
