Having been in pre-hurricanes and Nor'easters, I don't know if this would
really work. Seems the rocks are a bit small. I've had plastic that I
nailed up ripped off my house.

Go Get a Life---Go Get a Shelter Animal!
If you can't adopt, then foster "bottle baby" shelter animal, to save their
life. Contact your local pound for information.
<http://www.laanimalservices.com/volunteer_fostercare.htm>
If you can't bottle feed, foster an older animal, to save their life, and
to free up cage space.
Ask your local animal pound to start saving over 90% of their intake by
implementing the No Kill Equation:
