I just got my electricity turned back on yesterday from Hurricane Katrina.
Our power went out around 4:00 pm Thursday and didn't come back on until 3:00 pm yesterday. Our phone lines were down and my cell phone was out of service.
It was hot and sticky. You don't realize how blessed we are to have electricity.
They had a pet shelter open where you could bring pets. You can leave your pets at your vet's office. You shouldn't leave them home alone because it can be a week before they allow residents back in after the storm.
Everyone should have an evacution plan which includes what to do with your pets. Plan before an emergency even exists. Then if something should happen, you don't have to panic or worry, just follow your plans. |
