This morning my husband and I were haveing the following discussion, and I thought I'd involve you. Would you leave your house if a hurricane was coming? After that
the next questions is what if you had more pets then allowed in the sheltor? Then what would you take? It is a good thing to think about these things ahead of time
don't you think?

Oh, I don't even want to think about it. Right now, there is no hurricane and no indications of one either. So I am going to live happily. :)

I would do the same thing my sister, my daughters, all of us would evacuate, no doubt about it. In fact, my sister is at out parents' home right now, she evacuated Thursday morning. We would take our pets with us, my sister and daughter each have two, I have just one. If it came down to it, we would sleep in our vehicle, but wouldn't leave without our pets, they are part of the family.

Yah you are right, Tere should be some kind of plans for the unexpected things. but sometimes you have to take decisions spontaneously in certain situations. Saving our life own life is the first priority, next is the valuables, valuable defers from people to people, you can't discriminate between the pets, so its better to plan how many pets you can have at a time, you should also consider the crisis situation.

I agree with you people with to many pets should consider what would happen if they had to leave them. We have 17 Llamas and have made arrangements to move them to higher ground in case of flood I don't know what we could do if forest fire comes. I guess there is only so much planning you can do. Thanks for responding.

I really can't answer that questions as I am not in that predicument. I live in Nebraska so we don't get hurricanes but the hurricane will affect us becasue they will use it as an excuse to raise gas prices.
As for your question I would want to leave for my own safety but then again I would not want to leave as that would be my home an leaving your home is hard. I would take my computer since it has my kids pictures stored on it.
If I was going to leave I would leave early enough to go stay with family members and not in some shelter so I would be able to take all of my pets with me.

It realy makes you stop and consider what's important. Of course if you don't save yourself it really doesn't matter. It makes my husband so mad that people won't leave and then the tax payors have to foot the bill to rescue them. However I can understand why they may not want to leave, they have so many scares in that part of the country and most of the time the storm doesn't show up. it's kind of the old cry wolf thing. Also there is the scare of looting that may be worse then the storm damage. I think I'd really have to be convinced that the storm was going to hit me.
