The Super Outbreak of 2011 was a series of more than 300 powerful tornadoes that struck in 15 different states over several days in April of 2011. One of the most destructive natural disasters in U.S. history, the tornado outbreak killed more than 340 people and flattened thousands of buildings. Many pets, farm animals, and wild animals were injured or left stranded without food or water. Could rescue workers save the animals and reunite pets with their owners? In Saving Animals After Tornadoes, kids will discover the inspiring stories of rescue organizations like the Alabama Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, whose volunteers brought injured pets to animal shelters for veterinary care, and the Alabama Wildlife Center, whose rescue teams saved baby birds with broken wings and damaged feathers. The uplifting true stories and full-color photos in this book will capture the heart of any young animal lover.

      This book describes how animals are located, rescued, and cared for by local and national animal groups following devastating tornadoes. Discussion focuses on the 2011 "Super Outbreak," specifically disasters in Alabama and Missouri where workers conducted search-and-rescue missions for household pets (dogs, cats, birds), farm animals, and wildlife. The text is accessible but dry. Animal lovers will empathize with the poignant photographs. Reading list, websites. Glos., ind.
