And for those people that do have to evacuate, please take your pets with you! So many are killed and lost during hurricanes, it's not just the people who are effected.


Glad you mentioned that! One great thing here in Florida is that they are starting to set-up shelters for those people with pets. The first one was opened this season with Katrina. So far I think it is just one shelter in Broward (Ft. Lauderdale, north of Miami) but more are expected to open. These shelters for ONLY for those people with pets.

Of course if you are in an evacuation zone leave!!! Many here in Florida go out to "explore" when the eye (usually clam) passes over only to be struck by suprise when the wind picks up again, or are hurt or killed by downed power lines and other threats.
