Yes, I remember that the zoo keepers were amazed at how many animals survied Hurrican Andrew, as was I! But the big difference between NO and Florida is that the Audobon zoo is below the Mississippi like everything else, and I imagine that zoo will be under water.
Ya' know what I've been wondering about all day? The sharks that have been biting and attacking people. With the water rising, etc., you know they are really gonna be in a "mood"... wonder what they are gonna do. :0
