ItB次元官网网址檚 hard to find positives when natural disasters strike, but Sure has seemed to find a silver lining.

SaturdayB次元官网网址檚 evacuation meant family was joining her in Prince George, she explained.

At least theyB次元官网网址檇 be together.

Sure was evacuated more than a week ago from her 150 Mile home and only given a few short hours to pack.

Although she had to leave behind most of her belongings B次元官网网址� including her rooster B次元官网网址� Sure managed to bring three of her horses to Prince George. TheyB次元官网网址檙e now being cared for by volunteers at the Prince George Exhibition Grounds.

Sure moved her dozen-or-so chickens to her parents house nearby, but during their own evacuation to Kamloops they couldnB次元官网网址檛 manage to catch a single one, and had to leave them behind.

SureB次元官网网址檚 niece B次元官网网址� who was sent during an evauation order to Kamloops B次元官网网址� had managed to get a permit Thursday to check on the ranch. The rooster was still where it was left, near plenty of water and food.

SureB次元官网网址檚 preparing for the long haul. SheB次元官网网址檚 re-registering for funds through the Emergency Social Services and suspects it could be some time before sheB次元官网网址檚 allowed back into the town she calls home.
