Glad that you and Jeanne are OK, Patty, and that her sister's house is relatively intact. Your report of the way people are banding together to do what needs to be done reminds me of my own, and my state's, recent flood experience. People really do seem to be their best in times of trial and great need. I'm finding news of the tornado damage difficult to deal with. Flashbacks, if not exactly PTSD. And a terror that this early awful weather is a preview of a bad storm season to come. And, as a note for everyone, the recovery process post a disaster goes on long, long after said disaster has passed from the headlines. Life goes on but a "new normal" develops. Things are never quite the same again.

So heartfelt, Kapi. I cannot even begin to think what this experience must be like. Best to Patti, Jeane and their family and friends as they come to their own "new normal". XXX
