"When I was leaving my house, I thought we'd be back that night, so I didn't grab anything other than my laptop and our passports. If I'd thought that there was any chance something like this could happen, I would've grabbed as much as I could, even strapping things to the roof of my car."
"Two days later, when I found out our house was gone, I was in complete shock. I keep closing my eyes and going room by room through my house, picturing how everything was. To think that none of it exists anymore is... I haven't found a profound enough word. 'Devastating' and 'unfathomable' don't do it justice."
"My husband had even said, 'I wouldn't be surprised if our house was the only one still standing.' Some neighbors were able to send pictures and videos; miraculously, two homes across the street from me are still standing, the only ones left on the block."
