I was interviewed by the Fox Weather channel today.

About a week after the deadly Portage, Michigan tornado, pet shop owner Steve Vernon tells FOX Weather how his destroyed business is recovering.

A Lansing pet store is temporarily housing fish and coral from a pet store damaged in Wednesday’s tornado in Portage.

UPDATE. Thank you for all of the offers to help cleanup and volunteering to care for our fish.
I would have loved send fish to your home tanks but the situation made that impossible because Westnedge was still closed when I left the store this afternoon. For the fishes sake I was able place the fish and corals with Preuss Pets in Lansing. I'm afraid that one more night without electricity they wouldn't survive. As far as cleanup goes the insurance company taking care of all the details.

THANK YOU EVERYONE FOR YOUR SUPPORT. UNFORTUNATELY GENERATORS WON'T HELP BECAUSE OF THE DANGER. I AM TRYING TO MAKE ARRANGEMENTS WITH A STORE IN LANSING TO TAKE ANY FISH THAT SURVIVE OVER NIGHT. Included more pictures.

It's a sad night for MVPets tonight. Our store took a direct hit from the tornado. Everyone that was in the store at the time is safe with no injuries!

While most of the building is in shambles, most of the tanks were fortunately unharmed. We are putting plans in place to save all the fish we can.

The future of the store is uncertain right now, so please keep an eye out for any news from us here! Thank you all for your support ❤️

🐟⚠️Attention goldfish lovers!⚠️🐟

We have some chunky guys (comets) at the store who need homes! We also have our adorable Fancy goldfish back in stock!
Bring a bucket for the big guys!

🐟Reminder!🐟

Goldfish get BIG. The saying "they grow to the size of their environment" is actually a myth! Goldfish's bodies will grow to their environment yes, but their organs will continue to grow causing a variety of health issues.

🐟 Goldfish can live 20+ years! 🐟
We recommend at least 50 gallons per goldfish, or a pond for the best quality of life!

Come on in and check them out, and while you're here take a peak at our entire selection of wet pets!
