Those of you staying with your animals are doing God's work for these little beasts. They rely on you for their protection, and bless you for not leaving them alone in a storm like this.
My pets will STAY with me as long as I have breath to breathe, and you can take that to the bank! Not sure if you caught Prime Time Live the other night when they had the segment about people rescuing pets from N.O. area... I was bawling! What a heart breaker to see those forlorn dogs and cats - and for some it was too late.
