Don are you and your family safe and sound ????

Are you aware if the Houston flyers managed to get their birds to safety ????

Really have not hear  but most of them took their breeders[ a few of what they thought were the best] with them. we got a little wind--no rain-. One OLD pigeon flyer and his wife are with us.-Dallas Texas- They came up last Wed. They are in their 80's and no longer keep birds. they are from Orange/Bridge City Texas. Their home did not get any water damage-lots of wind --no power etc.  They may go home next week end. It is a gasoline shortage along the coast--well a shortage of lots of thing s.

Hello Don
So good to hear you are safe. I haven't heard very much from Texas/Lousiana, but I did get an e-mail letting me know Gene Yoes (Racing Pigeon Digest) who Lives in Lake Charles is safe and sound although Lake Charles was hit by Rita very badly

Houston was far enough to Rita's "good" side that serious damage to well built lofts would be unlikely.  But Lake Charles, on her "dirty" side, remains a mess.  Checked on my loft just southeast of there during the backend of the storm's passage, and the birds seemed to be taking it all in stride.  So maybe our kidding during its construction of weathering hurricanes in the new loft, instead of the old house, wasn't such a funny joke, after all.  Even had a pair of hurricane hatchlings, "Katrina" and "Rita".
