As hurricane Irma blasts through southern Florida, people in its path are bunking down with their four-legged friends.

And we don鈥檛 mean cats or dogs either.

Drew Moritz and his family welcomed eight horses into their 鈥渃oncrete block鈥� living room to ride out the storm.

鈥淭his is different,鈥� Drew admitted in a video posted to Facebook.

鈥淭his is kind of crazy train having them in the house,鈥� Yvonne, his wife, said. 鈥淚 do not recommend this whatsoever!鈥�

Despite that, the whole plan was Yvonne鈥檚 idea.

鈥淭he other day, I said to Drew 鈥榳hat if we empty out all our furniture and put in mats and tarps and shavings, could we bring the horses in?鈥� Yvonne said. 鈥淲hat鈥檚 even crazier is that he said yes.鈥�

Drew and his wife run , a non-profit group near Palm Beach, Fla., that uses rescued and rehabilitated horses to impact the lives of special needs and at-risk kids.

It鈥檚 a role that that Yvonne takes seriously.

鈥淓very one of these horses is a gift from God,鈥� she said. 鈥淚 could not picture them being outside like those horses we saw in Texas. In high waters, in big winds鈥� there鈥檚 a lot of bad stuff going on in Florida.鈥�

The horses rode out 32 hours in the Moritz鈥檚 home before they were able to get outside.
