[QUOTE="Ann Bledsoe, post: 44004, member: 60"] I just do not understand why people in areas that are hit by bad storms don't have storm shelters. Maybe living most of my life in "Tornado Alley" has colored my thinking (I'm 8 miles from the town that was blown away by a tornado last spring), but I have never in my adult life lived anywhere that didn't have some sort of a storm shelter. We recently bought property southern Florida, we plan on moving in April. The very first thing we plan to do is put in a storm shelter. If it never has to be used, that would be just wonderful. But I'd rather have it and not need it, than need it and not have it. I know most people evacuate, hurricanes do at least give some warning, but what bothers me is the animals. If you evacuate and leave your animals behind, what if you're not allowed back into the area in a timely fashion? Wouldn't it be feasible for the animals to survive the storm and then die from lack of care afterwards? Or to sustain a minor injury during the storm and die from complications from not being treated in a timely fashion? Ann B [/QUOTE]
