Elizabeth was boarded at the Parkview Animal Hospital on
May 22, 2011, the day the EF5 tornado swept through Joplin,
MO. Parkview was located just to the north of St. John's Hospital,
which was the hospital that was so badly damaged during the
tornado.
After the tornado went through and my family was safely home,
we tried to drive over to the veterinary clinic but were not
able to get through because those badly damaged areas were
blocked off. We did not have electricity, phone or cable.
The next morning we again tried to get over to the vet clinic
but could not get through. When I asked the officer about
the dogs that were boarded there, he said, "Don't know
nothin 'bout no animals."
A friend of mine had called the emergency clinic and asked
about Parkview, and they said that they thought it was gone.
She was able to get down to Parkview from the north and saw
that they had spray painted on the building "Pets OK".
We finally found out that right after the tornado went through,
a vet from Kansas had thrown crates in her van and headed
to Joplin to help with the animals. She took the Parkview
animals over to her clinic. Amazingly enough, all the animals
were unharmed, except for one small dog with an injured paw.
One dog had escaped and was found. The roof had falled in
but was kept off the dogs by the cinder blocks.
We drove over to Kansas that afternoon and picked up Elizabeth.
I couldn't imagine how scared she must have been when the
tornado went overhead and the roof came down. She was overjoyed
to be home and thankfully doesn't seem to be afraid of storms.
