It really is scary, But you don't know the half of it until you can experience it first hand, and I say that without even being in an actual hurricane, I only experienced 70 MPH winds, and that was scarey enough.

I live in New Port Richey, Florida and we have had a bunch of scares last year. Unfornately, when people go to shelters, they are not allowed to bring their animals. I work at a school (and its always open as a shelter.) People try to bring in their dogs and cats, but they really are not allowed. Some leave them in their cars (which I think is crazy) but I guess they are hoping for the best. Anyway I understand why they are not allowed, but I so feel for these poor people. If I had to actually move my family to a shelter, I would bring my dogs, (as I said before I work there & I would just let them stay in my office) I guess people with animals should raise some money to have a pet animal shelter built, for just this reason. But no one has yet!
