I am glad to hear of your family's safety too.
After Katrina, a woman & her husband, and her mother were "relocated" next to me in West Virginia. The mother ended up going home after about 9 months or so as her home was "salvagable".
Kathy & her husband unfortunately lost everything & she told told she would never go back, in spite of being born & raised there.
She said being a middle aged couple trying to start over with absolutely nothing in a state they weren't familiar with wasn't something she ever expected to have to deal with. They had also left their teenage son behind with friends so he could finish out his senior year with some kind of "normalcy".
I remember how trivial my problems seemed after talking with her because most of us have never dealt with anything of the magnitude that all of you did after these hurricanes.
But time does have a way of healing & she & her husband did go back - just over a year or so ago. They were going to a location about 50 miles north, more off the coast this time.
I have thought of them so often these past weeks, hoping & praying for their safety too.
