Reply #10: I was evacuated, but am home now [View All]

[Digit]

I had no idea anything had happened until Friday morning when I just happened to turn on CNN as I was getting ready for work. There was no reverse 911 phone call, and nobody knocked on my door Thursday night.

Since I have a parrot, and it is well known they have sensitive respiratory systems, I am deeply disturbed that I was not notified. I might have left for work without them, and my beloved parrot would probably be dead, and who knows if my cat would have survived.

I packed up my animals, along with some food for them and a portable cage for the bird.
I grabbed whatever I could think of that I might need and left for my office.
Luckily, I have my own office, so I kept my animals in there with my door shut.

Since I could not return home after work, I ended up getting a hotel room that accepted animals.

Hopefully, I will be reimbursed for the hotel expense.

My big question is....why weren't residents notified???
