All the family is fine, besides.

That really sucks that they had that much damage. Awesome news that the family made out OK.

Relatively OK. They have pulled together at the one cousin's house that still has power.
Saw some helicopter footage on the news this morning. Wow! I sure hope they can get power, fuel, and food back there quickly. And clothing. A lot of people have wiped out clothing and no way to wash and dry it.
