No one that was with me was hurt. Miraculously, all of my neighbors survived too.

    Fucking hell, glad you and yours are alive.

    Sorry you lost everything outside of the shelter, but also, very good that you had the shelter.

    Take a breather when you can, all thats gotta be at least a bit traumatizing.

      No time to take a breather. Too much to do. It’s been rough but we’re holding in there. Yesterday was the day that it really hit me and I was struggling but I got through it and I’m feeling way more normal now. Wife is holding up too, I’m not sure what she was like the night of, I can’t imagine the fear she felt being so far away and alone in her parents’ house for the night.

        Got some kind of motel/hotel accomodations in the works?

        Nearby family/friends with a spare bedroom?

        But also, do give wifey a hug at some point.

          We’re hooked up in an Airbnb through our planned move. A friend picked me up, took me to Walmart to buy shoes and a toothbrush then I slept in his guest room the first night. I’m actually going back to work tonight and he volunteered to ride along with me.

          Been doing that a bunch.
