If you don't have an emergency plan with your pets, you need to make one!!!!! Last year someone posted here about it and I developed one, glad I did!
This morning we had severe storms roll thru the Houston area, so bad I received two tornado warnings to my phone. The weather was horrible, black sky, high winds, loss of power, all I had was my phone to let me know what was happening. So I got to enact my safety plan and I'm happy to say it went very well! I know we had at least 5 tornadoes hit the Houston area and both airports were on a ground stop.
With the first warning, I got Venus and Buddy out of their big cages and put them in their travel cages. Then I put them in my closet, next I rolled Buzz's big cage in my closet, he doesn't want to be touched. After that, I ushered the dogs in my closet followed by myself with my phone, tablet, and work laptop. I have tap lights in there so I turned those on. We stayed in there for quite a while and while I was scared, I regretted not bathing the dogs this past weekend like I had planned, lol!
Looking at my news app, WOW!!! We were unscathed but so many people have flipped or destroyed homes and property. The storm has pushed thru and the sky is sunny now.
So I recommend having a safety plan to deal with getting your animals to safety with you.
