It's good to hear you're alright. Let's all pray that the others are okay as well!
Flameswordsman...I think it's great that you love your pet so much. Many people love their pets as well and many did not see a happy ending because of this storm. Most notable was a family pet of nine years being left behind at the Superdome. I understand why they couldn't allow the animal to travel with them but I certainly am still saddened that a family that has already been through so much had to go through this horrible loss as well.
