Family pets Zeus, in front, and Bacchus wait out the danger of Hurricane Gustav with their owner, Walter Picou, at the Mississippi Horse Park in Starkville. Picou, of Raceland, La., and hundreds of other evacuees stayed in Starkville to seek shelter from dangerous weather in South Mississippi and Louisiana as the hurricane whirled through the area.
