Something I noticed today and wanted to point out......... as the question 
of wether to put horses in the barn during these storms or leave them out 
keeps coming up.

CNN is showing helicopter footage of the flooded areas.  Mainly, people 
waiting for rescue on their rooftops.  But, the camera also caught, horses 
grazing in a herd on a high spot, another horse on the front porch of a 
house, pigs and cat on roof tops, and a fox who has able to catch a ide in a 
jon boat.

The water is up to the roof on almost all buildings.  We all know what would 
have happened to these animals if they were put in the barn for 
protection.........................
