I'll do that if Rita is a strong CAT 4 or more at landfall and I'm close to the eye. The house would probably be destroyed.
It would mean abandoning the pets.
Give them to somebody coming close to Dallas and I'll take them!
If things get that bad, the pets should come with you to the hospital. I know, rules and all that, but you should be able to find a room, say a maintenance or store room, where you can put them. I know they aren't going to kick out your wife since she's needed -- she needs to play the "let him and the pets in or I go" card. I'm afraid that with me, my dog comes with me where I go, or I don't go.
