While it is not mandatory to evacuate many have chosen to do so. 
Prisoners are being moved today.  In St Bernard anyone who is in their 
Parish tomorrow must stay in their homes.  If you are on the streets 
tomorrow you will be stopped at the check points put picked up and held 
until the emergency is over.  This is to prevent looting of those who 
have evacuated.  Pets may go on buses in crates and laps if at all 
possible.  They are going to do their best to keep pets with their 
people.  Sure will make it easier on rescues won't it.  Like many of you 
I just couldn't go without my babies.  Also price gouging has already 
started.  Have a friend who works for Ramada Inn.  She said while their 
prices have stayed the same many hotels/motels in New Orleans have 
doubled their prices during this time.  I hope if anyone becomes aware 
of which ones these are they will spread the word and not use them in 
the future.  Also gas prices are rising dramatically since they are 
aware that people who choose to evacuate will need to fill up their 
vehicles.  If anyone finds out that they need to evacuate because the 
storm is going to hit and have no place to take their pets we do have a 
kids room and a fenced in back yard up here in Bogalusa.  Our dogs are 
indoor dogs, our house is very old but we won't get the worst of the 
storm.  Right now just pray that the storm and the ones following it 
fizzle out.
