Updat - apparently two sheriff's deputies managed to get the manatees onto tarps and dragged them one at a time through dense mud about a 100m to deeper water.

Dogs in the gym, cats in the science lab; residents stream into shelters at the last minute
Tampa Bay Times / 10 September 2017

CLEARWATER — Residents continued to stream into an increasingly crowded shelter at Clearwater Fundamental Middle School shortly after noon on Sunday.  About 1,600 people were in the shelter, as well as hundreds of pets, officials said.  Dogs were in the gym, cats in a science lab, shelter residents said.

As she smoked a cigarette outside the school, Sue Sharp said she was just relieved to have found a safe space for her 15-year-old son, Xander, and her two cats, Zero and Casper. And the shelter workers have been helpful, passing out lemonade, tea and coffee, she said.

"They've been fantastic," said Sharp, 50, who had searched for pet-friendly shelters in Dunedin before ending up at the school on Palmetto Street in Clearwater. "They're trying to keep us as hydrated and happy as they can."

On Saturday, Sharp roamed north county searching for a pet-friendly shelter. One in Dunedin was full. "I was like, 'Aaaaaah, what am I going to do?' " the Largo area resident said. She arrived Saturday afternoon at the Clearwater shelter, but took several hours to get her pets processed before she could settle in to her home for the storm.

As residents continued to arrive, belongings in trash bags and suitcases, a shelter worker said they wouldn't turn anyone away. Classrooms are being opened for the overflow.
