1. I have 2 friends that are down there now doing dog rescue work and they say that it's sad, but, they are still finding dogs and cats and they are on 20 hours and off 4 a day. Once a week they get a 1/2 a day off to de-stress.

2. I am finally going to say what I have felt all along (and knowing this board, will get blasted for it) and that is why in the bloody hell did these people leave their animals there in the first place. They would have been prying my dogs out of my cold dead hands before I would have left them. I realize I wasn't/aren't there, but, I know how I feel and what I would have done. A friend of mine's niece and her husband put their animals on a tarp and swam 2 miles to safety. The other question is why didn't these people leave when they had 4 days advance notice? If they couldn't afford to leave then go somewhere close that would have been safer...I know, I know, I don't live there and wasn't involved, but, as an outsider looking in, that is my thought. In fact, I had this exact conversation with a friend of mine 2 days before the storm hit...and made the same comment then.

3. I would suggest going to Fox News' website and seeing if the numbers are there. I will look on the other board that I am on that is heavily involved with collecting donations and where to send things etc...
