Oh, my goodness! It’s been so long since we talked about Mr. Bobcat. If he could run the coyotes off, then I’m sure you’d be grateful. Of course, he’s a predator, too, so.....yeah.
Glad you didn’t stay out long. I’m surprised that there weren’t more limbs down, but thank goodness for small favors. I can’t believe the horrible damage coming out of western N. Carolina! I had thought that the eastern portion would be the target, not the Asheville area! Sheesh!
I was shocked to see him. I saw glowing eyes in the flashlight beam and thought, “Oh great. Someone’s dumped off another cat.” Then he got up and started moving away and I saw that was no housecat! I thought he was long gone, either moved off or coyote dinner.
He can stay. He’s keeping down some of the little varmints.
I was out there a little while. Can’t walk the whole place in 5 minutes. I really wanted to know how well things stood up to the wind since most of the trees are so old.
Yeah, the mountains really got hammered by Helene, not only on the NC side but the TN side as well. Before that, actually. The front that came through here Tues. and gave me a tiny splash stalled after it got east of here and it rained along the mountains all the way down through GA Wed. and Thurs. before Helene ever made landfall. Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg had flash flooding and other areas had the same problem. Helene made it worse when it got up there.
Ryan Hall has a good stream about what was going on in the mountains Wed. and Thurs. Crazy footage of some rivers.
