Rain from Hurricane Ida is bearing down hard on us here in Norfolk, Virginia. And while we have recently been alerted that the post office might not be delivering our mail, (whatever happened to "rain or shine," guys?) at PETA, we don't let a little inclement weather keep us from saving animals!

We hope that everyone is keeping their furry friends warm and safe inside today. Check out PETA's tips for safeguarding animals during a hurricane and always be sure that you're prepared when a bit of weather comes your way!

Nobody does more to save God's creatures than PETA. Your venue is featured in the most recent VEGNEWS magazine.

I think it's absolutely fabulous people are still thinking of the animals. I always worry about them in storms and any other time for that matter. I wish there was some way I could help though. :/

Two things:
1. Ida isn't hitting VIrginia and
2. IT'S NOT A HURRICANE!
C'mon, at least get your weather right.

Mel: What is wrong with you?
They said the rain from it was pouring down on them.
Next you'll be saying that all the water was fake!
C'mon on Mel pull your head out of your pants.

Seriously Mel, are you that desperate for something to bitch about?
It is not, at least, incorrect to refer to Ida as a hurricane, though she may not have been by the time she reached VA: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hurricane_Ida_%282009%29

Elphaba, Shari,
I hate saying it, but Mel is right - Ida wasn't a hurricane when it hit land, and was very briefly classified as such while in the ocean.
The reason I know this is because I live in the area where it was predicted to land and followed it very closely.
Now as far as rainfall, yes, it's plainly obvious that Virginia got it. However, it's rainfall from the aftermath of a tropical storm, not a hurricane.
