I'd been wondering about the animals. You can't evacuate 200K people without animals being affected.
Finally saw a UK news article letting us know things are being done for pets and livestock.

Paralyzed College Student Walks Across Stage At Graduation With Help From His Fiance

Quote:
Chris Norton, a student at Iowa college, was left paralyzed after a sports injury during his freshman year. Doctors told him he had only a 3 percent chance of regaining any movement below his neck.

Still, the 23-year-old set a seemingly impossible goal: to walk across the stage at his graduation.

Norton accomplished that feat after more than four years of physical therapy and assistance from his fiancée, Emily Summers.

Both Van Halen and his ex-wife, Valerie Bertinelli, are class acts, according to my sister who saw them several times at a mutual friend's. She says that Valerie, especially, is very friendly and "down to earth".
