I'm so sorry to hear of all the damage and loss. I feel very lucky. I have two small holes in the roof and a big hole in the living room ceiling, but on almost every block around here there is a house that has been cleaved in two by an unrooted tree. I haven't taken pictures b/c it just seems wrong to marvel at the destruction and yet you can't help but marvel at the power of this storm.

This is the debris pile that was in front of my house. That's the roof of my house in the background. Everything has been removed already! I've been really lucky. I wish a speedy recovery for everyone or at least the endurance to get through the long recovery.
