A powerful storm has wreaked havoc from Texas to Florida this week.  Lives have been lost, homes and buildings damaged, power lost...and in one case, exotic animals had to be rescued.

Eleven exotic animals had to be rescued from the Collins Zoo, an unaccredited roadside facility in Mississippi.

When severe weather struck, the animals had to be moved to sanctuaries in other states.

Three tigers, three cougars, two leopards, two wolf-hybrids and one Macaque monkey were taken from the zoo.  Experts say the animals were forced to live in inhumane conditions for many years, and this gave them the opportunity to rescue the animals and help them live new lives in appropriate places.
