That’s good! Hope the pony powders did their cheerful work during the bad bits (maybe you could have used some yourself?) ;-)
I didn’t give them any... it was a daytime storm and the horses were OK, if miserable. When it’s blowing hard they don’t like being in the barn, with all the trees around it’s not really safe, and they don’t like the limbs breaking and hitting the roof. They’re free to run out. They spent the storm out in the middle of the pasture, and I spend it in the truck, watching the house from a safe distance myself.
err... “spent it”.
And yes, I could have used some Quiet Pony Powder. :~)
One very useful feature for homes hereabouts is a tornado shelter. We have had a tornado pass directly over each of our homes - my childhood home, our first house, and the house we live in now. Fortunately in each case the storm 'skipped', but you never know where they will touch down.
Hubby has the plans for an in-basement shelter when we sell this large house and build a little one out in the country. Basically, you build a steel-and-concrete room in the SW corner of your basement. We'll keep the guns and reloading equipment in there too, and have fold down bunks and a radio for tornado warnings.

...plus, the cat is tired of steppin’ around the horse piles.
