Rita has arrived
Heavy rains from Hurricane Rita have arrived in Monroe at the animal shelter set up by United Animal Nations and EARS.
“Rain bands are coming through and the winds are probably about 35 mph right now,” Cora said on the phone early this morning.
“It’s just pouring here and we have tornado watches out. That means we can’t take the animals outside so, we’re walking them as best we can inside the shelter.”
“Thank God we put out the sandbags because we would be flooded, already.”
Cora was scheduled to fly back to Greenville this morning, for a two-week break from running the shelter, but those plans most likely will be postponed.
