Cyclone Larry, Cyclone Glenda, some to hit the NE US...
Excerpt from Animal Disaster News - Eric Rice's new page with information about Cyclone Larry.

"There are 200,000 people eating over cooking fires with people whose houses were not destroyed pitching in food. They have not heard from some of the areas yet. Mission Beach and other beaches in farther out area are reported to be leveled and look just like the beaches we saw after the Tsunami. The entire area affected is 400 miles. They also have little contact with the farming areas who she says all have farm dogs and cats and some livestock. These areas can't even be reached.
She is getting reports that people have their animals tied near homes that were destroyed. The military is pushing people to go to the shelters BUT they have no plans for animals. She has already had calls from people begging her to take animals so they can go to the shelter themselves. She doesn't at all think things are under control. She thinks that they are unprepared for animals that the outside world may never hear of animal problems in this. Her opinion is that it is going to snowball into a major problem and that very few of the people who need help with actually get it or even come forward."
