It looks like it.
Not going to a shelter is totally stupid...and shelters don't take pets.
I wonder how many countries will rush aid to the US in her hour of need?!

<sarcasm>What's wrong with looting? They have to eat!</sarcasm>
I feel so sorry for these poor people, some don't have much and with this storm they stand to loose it all.... I hope they receive help in re-building their lives..

The only help I've heard about is from Chavez in Venezuela believe it or not. He's offered food and fuel to the people of the area. Strange.
Not once, even last year, with all of the devastation from three hurricanes in a row, did ANY other countries offer to come to aid of the US. But we are expected time and again to give BILLIONS of dollars of our money to help others. And we do it gladly, out of the goodness of our hearts...no matter how much they hate us.
