Yeah, one of the worst parts of these storms, after flooding especially, is when the animals are left behind when people evacuate and then either get killed or get lost and the owners never find them again. That was a big problem during Floyd ('99) here, with all the flooding. The humane society was finding animals, mostly dogs, that had no tags and they had no way of getting them back to their owners. After that, it was strongly encouraged to get your animals id chipped or at least to keep tags on them.
At the same time, they'd have to forcibly remove me if I couldn't take my dogs. They are my children.
Ya' know what's sad? It occurs to me that there WILL be people who die as a result of Isabel, that there WILL be a great amount of damage, despite the warnings and preparedness.
On a lighter note - for the next year or so, the local weather stations will be running their "We were the FIRST to bring you live updates on Hurricane Isabel" promos...oh jeez...
