> Everyone is okay.  Everything is okay.

Really good to hear.

I can't even imagine the whole thing. The last time weather impacted my
life in any meaningful manner was a tornado warning when I lived in
Wisconsin. We spent half the night in the basement, in the dark,
listening to the radio.

I guess the fact that I still have vivid mental images of it over 40
years later says something about the effect on the human psyche of sheer
helplessness in the face of forces beyond us.
