Pugh cheerfully told a local TV stateion that she rushed to the hallway with her three cats when the mile-wide tornado hit. The roof fell on top of her, but miraculously she and two of her cats were all in one piece. "I tried to get to my hands and knees but I couldn't. I heard the young men calling 'Ms. Judy, Ms. Judy, are you in there?'" she recalls.

Pet Adoption Event Returns to Cleveland Metroparks Zoo June 11
Each year, Cleveland Metroparks Zoo teams up with more than 20 area humane organizations to host a pet adoption event like none other â Meet Your Best Friend at the Zoo!
This year, more than 100 dogs, cats, kittens and puppies, many of which will be available for immediate adoption, will be on the Zooâs Ticket Plaza with their humane organizations from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday, June 11. More than 750 pets have been adopted through the event since it started in 2001.
âThis event is designed to give people looking for an animal companion an overview of the organizations out there that might be able to help them,â said Sue Allen, the Zooâs Director of Marketing & Public Relations. âWeâre proud to provide the venue to help these adoptable dogs and cats find permanent, loving homes.â
Participating rescue groups and shelters will offer advice on choosing the right pet and how best to care for it. All dogs and cats will have received a health check-up and age-appropriate vaccinations. Each organization sets its own adoption fees and policies, and some require a waiting period.
The event is FREE and takes place outside the Zoo under tents on the Ticket Plaza. For health and safety reasons, visitors should leave their current pets at home.
Cleveland Metroparks Zoo is open 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily with hours extended to 7 p.m. on weekends and holidays from Memorial Day through Labor Day.
