Our home withstood the storm, yet as we stepped outside, we were shocked to witness the devastation in our historic neighborhood of Montford, where downed trees and blocked roads left every direction cut off.
Despite the chaos around us—downed trees, flooding, and power outages—we later learned that we were remarkably fortunate, with no injuries or fatalities in our immediate vicinity.
The lack of information due to power outages and downed communication lines revealed a terrifying reality: while we felt safe, uncertainty about the full extent of the disaster loomed.
As the storm passed, it was both surreal and harrowing to realize how disconnected we became—our lives dramatically altered yet unaware of the true tragedy unfolding just miles away.
