The whole thing is just totally heartwrenching. I live in an area that gets hit periodically by whopper hurricanes (near Boston) but am just far enough inland, and on a hill that the worst we get is lots of wind and flying debris. I hate to think of how many animals have perished already, locked into flooded homes that were evacuated. Many areas rescuers can't even get to still. If I lived near there, I'm sure I'd be pulling out critters right and left.
