Hurricane Dolly hits the zoo!
24-07-2008

As I was looking at the news today, they were talking about the Hurricane that hit Texas and Mexico. In the map it showed that the middle of the hurricane was on Brownsville, Texas. I hope the animals at zoo were housed properly because they could lose a lot of them if they make a mistake.

here are some links from the news:

Yup, the eye of the storm passes just over Brownsville. Gladys Porter Zoo might be hard hit. We will have to wait and see.

Anyhow, if the levee breaks we will have some major flooding in the Rio Grande Valley .... too! You folks out there should be seriously concerned about global warming and climate change. Hurricanes in the Carib are becoming more frequent, more violent and more destructive in the last decade.

I hate to think what might happen if another major population center is hit like what happened to New Orleans (and where the Bush administration seriously failed its inner city black folks ... and missed out on calling for special disaster zone measures).

Have any of you by any chance already done a review of Gladys Porter?

so does anyone have any news on the zoo? I've searched, but I haven't found anything.

Last I heard they only lost one cockatiel, so seems they escaped harm.
